Wait, where did Friday go? I think this week had one less day! Well, better later than never.
Finished Astral Chain, played couple of post-game arena-combat missions, but ignored the rest.
Overall, a very good game, the story wasn’t anything out of the world (except literally speaking), but it wasn’t anything bad either. The gameplay and combat was really good.
Also, I want a Lappy plushie now!
Finished Nier Replicant completely. Well, first two endings. Didn’t want to replay just to watch 3-4 different scenes, so watched those on the YouTube.
Combat and gameplay is good, but quests are very grindy and fetch quest heavy, I think I already mentioned this, people would ask 10 of something that’s a random drop in a specific dungeon, and going through whole dungeon would drop it maybe once or twice, so you have to go through it five times. And that’s one person’s request.
Story was really interesting though. And not counting the quests system, enjoyed the game. Looking forward to playing Automata and see where they take it from here.
Started (well resumed from World 2) and finished Donkey Kong Country 2. The game started easy enough but got pretty tough in further stages. If it weren’t for save states I would have never been able to finish it. Probably died about a 1000 times. Near the end I started saving after every small section.
Though it wasn’t a constant difficulty, even in last world, there were couple of stages that felt easy enough. The last boss was pretty difficult though, specially in the last phase, dunno how many times I died on that.
Now playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed. Just started it, so will write more about it next week.
So, what about all you? What have you been playing?
Wow, 70h in and still would take a month or two? I did most of the side quests, but got a bit tired of some side activities. There’s just too much content,
To be fair, that’s 70h over the course of 2 months already. And I’ve still got a big chunk of the main story and 2 DLCs in front on me. Sadly, life’s been quite busy.
When I play a lot, I play around 10 hours a week, so 70 hours in 2 months is pretty good for my standard.
BTW I was just surprised by how much you are going to spend on the game, as I said, I loved the whole game, but got bored of some side content.
I admit I’m not big on gwent and especially not horse racing. However, I really enjoy learning about different creatures, their lore and how to dispose of them. The game is great at introducing new ones every few quests. There are some great moral questions in there, too!
But at the end of the day, I just like long RPGs. The feeling of getting lost in a vast world is one of my favorite things in games. Tweaking a build over months, slowly diving into more and more mechanics. I don’t play much else, honestly, and only one at a time.
That’s nice. I am glad you are enjoying it so much!
