Pretty much only played Greedfall last week. Game is going good, not much to add about it.
One thing that I didn’t mention before, and that shows it’s “AA” or low budget is that interior of the buildings is same. For instance, the governer’s building is same from inside for all factions. Exactly the same. Same goes for our house in all the cities. Not a big deal tbh, but something I noticed. Doesn’t effect the gameplay, or the narrative, which is fun.
Playing a bit of Earthlock but going to focus on it this week, in hope of finishing it this week. Will only get Zelda after I have finished this. Otherwise I won’t play it for couple of months and then won’t want to get back to it.
Didn’t play Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter this week. It has been demoted to a side game when I have nothing else to play, as I want to finish both Greedfall and Earthlock first. Once they are finished will switch it to primary game, cause I want to give it proper focus it deserves. Well, maybe after Legend of Zelda.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
Finished Hatsumira: From the Future Undying!
A solid, well-produced and fun VN.
The highlight is definitely the side cast - there’s a lot of fun characters, including a few I would argue are more interesting and/or better developed than some of the main heroines. The lead character is great too, he adds a lot of personality to the game.
But there’s two big problems with the game: First is the localization, which goes way too far trying to make the dialogue more “colorful”, adding so many accents that even reading the dialogue gets difficult sometimes. The second one is extreme imbalance in screentime between the heroines - if you’re playing this game because you got interested in one of the late-joining heroines like Meltyna or Rhea you’re going to be seriously disappointed.
Playing Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit (part of Ace Attorney Investigations Collection)!
Finished the third case and it’s easy to see why this game is so well-regarded - the quality of the cases so far has been excellent. Turnabout Legacy (Case 3) felt as gripping as some final cases in other games due to its connections with Edgeworth’s father and Von Karma.
The one thing I really dislike so far are the main “antagonists” - Judge Gavelle and her “helper” Eustace Winner. I’m guessing this will be explained in one of the latter cases, but it bothers me how the game keeps portraying Gavelle as an intelligent and capable person, yet has her supporting Eustace’s stupidity and constantly antagonizing Edgeworth even when he’s right.
A friend of mine just finished Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, and have recommended me to finish my Ace Attorney games quick. 😀
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - wheeeee
Skullgirls - hehe
Splatoon 3 - I may have hurt some people today
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Very close to hitting 7th Dan on RC, and at the same time I’m closer to dropping to Expert 2 on MJS than I am to earning my Master 1 back. Honestly I think this is just a consequence of RC’s rating system being kinda jank.
Been working on a secret project, so I haven’t had much time to play anything but my usual rotation.
Frostpunk 2!!
I just played one hour yet, but will spend more hours on it today. Can probably do a review in a week. :)
I may have made a huge mistake.
I started playing Civ 5. I bought it a long time ago when the whole package was 90% off and finally decided to play it. And that’s all I did. I knew this wasn’t going to be a casual experience. I played Civ 3 when it was the most recent game in the series my old Laptop was able to play and the SNES version of Civ 1 a couple of years later (because apparently, I only play the odd-numbered ones). I knew the risks.
But I also have a bunch of vacation days to use up, so I took a week off from work to just let this happen. Get it out of my system and hopefully move on from there. Don’t bother holding my beer, it’ll be stale by the time I come back out of this rabbit hole.
Haha, you took a big risk. I have stayed away from Civilization games for a while because of this, once you start them, things can get out of control.
I have been getting slight itch for them again though, specially with the trailers for 7. Though I am keeping myself in check for now, but plan to give 7 a try when it launches.
Still waiting on Echoes of Wisdom foru switch. But I’ve been diving into Falloit New Vegas in th mean time. I love Fallout games
Yeah, Fallout games are great. Which one is your favourite? And have you played 76?
I never played 76 or the two originals from interplay. Between 3 NV and 4, it’s always hard to top your first. And playing F3 was my first and an experience. I hadn’t played the elder scrolls before this and was just amazed with freedom that these open world RPGs gave you. Yeah so gonna have to go with F3 for the sole reason of nostalgia.
Interesting. Generally NV is considered better than 3, but I wonder if that’s by the people who have played the first 2 Fallout games, and like it more cause it’s closer to that in some aspects.
