Finished Borderlands 3. Still have quite a few side quests left, but have played it enough. Was thinking about Platinum previously, but don’t want to play 20-30 more hours just for trophies. Maybe if it had a really good narrative, which it doesn’t.
Started Greedfall. It’s a AA-ish RPG by Spider. The world building is interesting, and story and quests aren’t bad. There are different factions and how you do the quest you can improve or worsen your relations with them. You can use stealth, or direct combat, or even talk your way through them.
Where I am currently, I haven’t gotten any quest that will improve my relation with faction at the cost of worsening it with another (though there were ones where I could choose different faction, and improve my relation with them), but I am still very early in the game.
The weakest part is the combat. You have 3 classes, and you can select upto 2 companions, all of who are of different factions and different classes. The combat itself isn’t that great though. While it is serviceable it would’ve been pretty much unacceptable if it was released today. Have played some 5-6 hours yet, so things may open up a more.
Reached Episode 4 of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All.
Episode 3/4 spoiler
It was really cool to see Edgeworth again. I mean I knew he wasn’t dead because there are games released after this one that has him, but still it was nice to see him again.
Didn’t get to play Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter last week, but will give it some time this one. On a related note, really excited about the remake! Still going to finish it, but going to play the remake too. Probably not at launch, but soon-ish.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
I kept playing Greedfall with every intention of abandoning the colonizers and joining the natives to repel them. But that option never came up.
Haha, I wondered if we would get such an option. I still haven’t stepped out of New Serene, but there have been some hints about the protagonist and their look, which made me think we might get an option like that.
Maybe they will do something about it in the sequel. But I don’t even know where this story will go yet, so who knows.
I recently got back into Conan Exiles after playing Cyberpunk for a while. My goal is to leave the exiled land and move onto the DLC map
How is Conan Exiles? I think I got it from PS+ a long time ago, but never actually tried it.
It’s very much like any other survival game if I’m being honest. Minecraft, rust, etc. and kind of rough around the edges. But I very much like exploring the map and finding dungeons, setting up bases in interesting locations, and the ability customize my character. There is an end to the game but it takes a lot of prep work and traveling and I often get distracted by exploring a ruin or a hidden cave or something. I personally enjoy it a lot just for the exploration.
Ahan, thanks for the info!
Just got started with Final Fantasy XVI and liking it so far. I don’t usually play games like this and the graphics and and detail are just amazing - except for the running animation, it’s so gamey, it takes me out of the setting.
What kind of games do you usually play?
