Reached level 22 in Splatoon Raiders.

I think that some of the people I am helping are bots. Or at least these “help someone” aren’t actually live helps. For instance, when you go to help someone, there is only bot buddy, but they should have their bot buddies too. It’s possible one bot buddy is shared by all players though. Another thing is all their names are Water / Splatoon related, like “Sea Horse”, “Coral” thing like that, but again it could be just Nintendo anonimysing the names.

Anyways, the game is still fun. My kid who spends most of his gaming time playing Fortnite with friends started playing it and loved it so much he overtook my level in just a few days. We only have one Switch 2 or it could’ve been a fun game to play together.


Also playing Red Dead Redemption 2. Reaching end of the Chapter 5. Last week I said I was reaching 50% of story progression, but I checked after that and it was only 44%. I am somewhere around 55% now. I usually don’t keep track of progession like that, but this game is so long, and it hasn’t really caught my interest that much.


I paused Star Ocean: First Departure R and started Final Fantasy XII - The Zodiac Age. FF 12 was the first Final Fantasy I played and I consider it my favourite one. I have only played it once though, and that was the original version, not the Zodiac Age, so when it officially came to west I planned to play it but just getting around to it now.

I love the gambit system, and the fact that there are no random encounters. Not a fan of the fact that reserve party members don’t get any experience, but game is easy enough that I have made two teams of 3. Keep swapping between them and keep them at similar levels. I have been staying up late over the week playing this which has messed up my sleep schedule a bit, so probably will have to reduce that going forward.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    My problem with OT1 was that it felt too repetitive. And it felt like 8 solo adventures, instead of a single campaign. Not sure if it’s worth trying OT2 or should just go for OT0.

      The main stories are still like this, though now we have additional stories called “Crossed Paths” focused on pairs of characters to give them more interaction. I also heard the final chapter has the stories coming together decently, but I’m still very far from that so I’ll comment when I’m done with the game.

      Not sure if that’s enough to get you interested but it’s a nice improvement.

        That’s interesting. Looking forward to your comments after finishing the game.
