Finished Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed.
Apparently I was near the very end when I posted last week, I was expecting some kind of warning before point of no return, but they didn’t mention it. It’s possible they mentioned it when giving me the quest but I forgot about that.
Overall, really enjoyed the game, but it didn’t provide much new information about the worlds, or what happened to all the characters from first two games, though there were implied hints. I wanted more details, but as it is, even without playing it, I don’t think it would have made too much of a difference.
Apparently, there’s a hint in the end / post credit scene, that possibly connects it with Xenogear saga or Xenoblade Chronicles X, I haven’t played either so no idea, just saw it when trying to see what people thought of the ending. I think the story ended well enough, they should move to something new, but I trust the devs.
Played Guns, Gore, and Cannoli, it’s a side scrolling run and gun (like beat 'em up, but with guns), though I played it more like walk and gun.
Setting is 1920 Mafia in Zombie apocalypse, voice acting is nice, and gameplay is fun. Finished it in 2-3 days. There’s a sequel out too, where they have apparently improved a few things. Will definitely try it out (eventually).
Played quite a bit of Rise of the Tomb Raider, but didn’t make much progress as I was focusing on side content. Did the Baba Yaga DLC content (part of 20th anniversary version on PS), also explored some optional tombs and did optional side quests.
Going to start Medieval Dynasty on PS5, with a friend this weekend. I have always wanted to play some crafting / survival game, and one of my friends was interested in playing this too, and since it’s on sale right now, we decided to get it and give it a try.
No idea if I’ll actually enjoy this or not though, on paper (and videos) it looks good, so, let’s see.
Would I play this for next 3 months? or never touch it again after this weekend? Tune in next week, to find out!
So, what about all you? What have you been playing?
My secret on puzzles is setting limits. I never put more than fifty pieces together per session. I never spend more than an hour per session. Early on, I always feel like I’m stopping before I need to. In the middle, I slot about one piece every two minutes so the hour timer exists to keep me from rage-quitting. Near the end, it gets easy, even with the nearly identical pieces since there aren’t many places left to place them. (I also save the outside borders for when I need a confidence boost, so the last pieces I put in were the entire bottom row).
Typing while walking along a six lane roadway leads to a lot of typos. The only thing I miss about Xbox is Culdcept. I bought an Xbox 360 for the sole purpose of playing it. Then I bought a second one. After red ring 2, I gave up. I’m still holding out hope for a new version of that for a Nintendo system one day.
Interesting. Thanks for the tips!
