After last weekly thread, I officially dropped Octopath Traveler. The game, which beautiful, isn't just for me.

I ended up starting couple of different games. Got The Last Campfire by Hello Games. It's a nice, little puzzle game, with really good production values. Puzzles aren't too difficult in general, but couple of them had me scratching my head for a while. Love the narrator and narration. Highly recommended for anyone who like puzzle games.

Also started Dragon Age: Inquisition on PS5. I have been holding out on it cause I wanted to play Dragon Age: 2 first, (already played Origins during PS3 days), but finally gave up on it since there is no way to play it on modern consoles, and wasn't in mood to go back to PS3. Loving the game. The combat is satisfying, you gaining influence and slowly gaining foothold in the world feels nice. Though I have just played it for a few hours yet.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is still going good. I think I am halfway through the main story. Have been doing most, but not all, of the side quests, mainly skipping out on the ones that require me to do any thieving or such.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

I had plans for what my next game on Switch was going to be, but I spontaneously decided to play Paper Mario instead. I didn't expect to finish both of my games at once, so I'd rather have one of the replacements be something I don't have to think about too much. I've beaten the original game half a dozen times, so this will be a rather chill playthrough. As chill as it can be without any HP upgrades, I guess. I want those badges, baby!

I had plans for what my next game on PC was going to be, but I spontaneously decided to play Yakuza Kiwami 2 instead. I wish I'd had the chance to get into the series earlier, I have so much catching up to do! I think there's 10 games by now? I have yet to find the Mahjong parlor, gotta get through more of this silly side story involving Yakuza to get to the real game!

I'll try not to make plans anymore.

Yakuza games are awesome. And the side stories are really fun, I would highly recommend to not to skip them. I have played some 3-4 of the games, but that have been long time ago. Was planning to them all, starting from 0, but after playing Yakuza 0 recently, I have realised I'll never be able to catch up, so going to watch the recap of the games I have played previously and skip those. I think I need to play 4th or 5th one next.

Spontaneously deciding FTW!

I was just making a joke that the entire main story of a Yakuza game is a side dish to Mahjong. I just always spend way too much time in the parlor ever since Yakuza 0 taught me how to play.

[–] slimerancher 1 points 6 months ago

lol, sorry, missed that.

While I love the side stories in the game, I have never spent any time in mahjong parlor, maybe cause I couldn't figure out how to play it, but that was back when I played first Yakuza, around when it was released.
