Yeah it turns out itās actually crazy how much better this game is than the 2013 game. You spend at least the first hour raiding a big ass tomb!! They replaced the insufferable ryona plot with a bunch of history channel esoteric christological mysteries bullshit that comes across as completely bewildering. Iām not sure if itās like good per se but there are less annoying people on screen per cutscene than the first one
As far as I can tell the villains are a secret society who is either merely vatican aligned or is subverting the vatican so they can continue waging a centuries long holy war against some Byzantine guy who seems to have found a magic rock that made him immortal so he started preaching about God, gathering followers, but I guess not in a way they liked so they chased him across the middle east into siberia by manipulating the mongols into invading russia so there are a bunch of greek-syrian-russian people who believe in a completely untouched on strain of eastern christianity living in a secluded valley who are now being ethnically cleansed by catholic stormtroopers. like what on earth are you fucking talking about lol

played through the airās adventure translation and whoever called this kusoge is a fool!! this is among the best the saturn has to offer, and it already has a lot to offer. a shoujo manga love story in the guise of a comedic rpg.

Buddy, this isnāt a hole on a tree. This is a moderately sloped hill. The wind will carry these words at least a far as the nearest telephone pole.

Arctic Eggs can be frustrating but I like it so far.

youngest wants to get Mario Maker 2 for Christmas, so I bought a co-workerās unused Switch. finally can get and share Dungeons of Dreadrock
an entire game made of 100 Zelda puzzle dungeon rooms. very light on the puzzle front, very fun and funny: one level you sidestep around a slow enemy to get to the exit, bye sucker, they appear on the loading screen for the next room and chase you through the entranceā¦!
the developer/designer was teaching game design at the University of Munich. not over-designed, lots of little friction and unfairness in the game, like missing the timing for attacking an adjacent monster, gives a nice organic feel

I reached the end of Arctic Eggs. I completed every challenge but two (two cockroaches and two ice glasses).
This game reminds me of SnowRunner because of the way you have to fight the physics and sometimes also an extra layer of unpredictability.

Iām playing Final Fantasy XVI.
So far I am genuinely enjoying its totally straight faced commitment to being a completely serious zero irony fantasy game.
It definitely made a lot of bets on āThe Witcher but Animeā being the winning taste for a new game and I think this was probably a mistake in the wider cultural conversation but Iām personally enjoying the weirdness of āwhat if game of thrones was also tokusatsu gundamā.
Iāll be interested to see if the story makes me hate it later? Seems at least cool so far.

Beat Ćoo the other day. Didnāt go for all the side stuff (itās beyond my skill level, and patience, hahaha), but Iām amazed how itās justā¦there, the whole time.
Also finished that Attack on Titan mission in AC Shadows the other day. Hereās a shocker - it sucked, much like Attack on Titan. I failed to take a screenshot of the white girl NPC you assist in the mission, but itās jarring just how awful she looks compared to every single other NPC in this game. Looks like they culled her face and hair directly from the Demonās Souls character creator.
I didnāt get a screenshot of her but I did get a screenshot of this dumb thing, that I didnāt even notice because I was too busy fighting a bunch of dudes around it.
Been following up Ćoo with ElecHead, which feelsā¦more difficult? I guess so. Itās good, though. Got real mad when I was convinced I found a series of hidden areas, only for the game to mock me. I donāt think anything was hidden there, but I flailed around in that final room for a while. Iāll never live down making it up to that tree in Dark Souls and turning around, soā¦I had to be sure.

Played Dungeons of Dreadrock some time back, mostly neat little thing, I think a couple of the rooms were a bit āgotcha!ā-ey and Iām still not exactly sure how that final āroomā works but largely I enjoyed my time with it.
A sequel came out for it not too long ago, may end up picking it up during the winter sale.

People like Witcher 3. Well, people claim to like Witcher 3. Iām playing it now (picking up a save file I played for 50 hours, and stopped playing years 8 years ago), and fuck if I know why. I like the concept of
- Find town with monster problem
- Figure out what monster problem they have
- Solve monster problem
And I guess the game developers liked that too because by volume there is 3x as many of those quests than there are main story quests. And they arenāt even the map clutter quests like bandit camps and monster dens, they all have voice acting and a little storyline and everything.
But mechanically there is so little here. If you could create a macro to auto-buy/craft items and automatically apply the correct oil when fighting a monster type then you could play this game one handed. Also Geralt is an established character with a set personality and design so why do all of these clothes look as bad or worse than Skyrim armor. I guess the appeal is getting a quest from some medieval fantasy world character who is in a bad situation, and knowing that the situation is going to get worse by the time you solve it?

I could never shake the feeling that I was playing a single player mmo where someone else made the character for me when I play any of the witcher games

On the other hand, Witcher 3 does have a zoom in and then freeze on characterās faces when you challenge them to Gwent, and they always have this look of āoh gods, he wants to play Gwentā. Love a bit of insane over-dramatization when Iām tryna get these cards from a fishmonger.

the best part of witcher 3 is the fight club quests because you get to hear gerald say lines like āThis elfās a little bitchā with so little enthusiasm you have to wonder why heās even doing these quests
