Hello Everyone!

Finally got my Dual Sense back from repair! So, spent most of my time this week on PS5 instead of Switch. Though, I did start a new game on Switch. 😀

  • Cleared the Water world in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Going to play the next one now.
  • Started Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy. Playing the first game, and it's so much fun. Having a blast.
  • Still playing Dragon Quest XI, not much to mention here, except didn't give it as much time this week. I should've started this on Switch, but since it's free on PS+, playing it there. Problem is, you can't just save the game anywhere, I only play it when I know I won't be distracted midway, which isn't that easy with kids, and when I do have time like that, I want to play Monster Hunter, cause that game also has the same problem. Last I played I was mid-way in dungeon, but had to zoom back to last camp so that I could save and quit. Would have to play that half-dungeon again.
  • Finally beat Pink Rathian in Monster Hunter: World, beat it solo, after dieing some 6-7 times. Finally beating a monster you've been stuck on for a while feels very rewarding, which is probably why I have spent most of my time playing MH:W after beating Pink Rathian. After grinding for better equipment, and tracking the tracks, have reached the part where you fight Nergigante. Didn't know you can't capture Elder Dragons, which got me killed, but was so close. Should be able to beat him next time.

That's all about me. What about you guys? What have you been playing?

Woah sorry for the late reply. I’m hooked. I’m just starting chapter 3 and I’m already wondering what it’ll be like moving to cold steel after this, or if it’s worth doing boundless trails first.

I‘ve been going through the series blind by order of release because I heard it likened too an MCU of jrpgs. I admit Sky FC was a hard push for me because nothing really happens for most of it and the combat system is really basic. The ending is pretty much what made me want to play SC, which was much more compelling.

While playing through the Liberl arc, official western releases of the Crossbell arc were made available, and I was ready.

I’m really liking the characters. I adore kea so much that I actually feel distressed if I think something bad is going to happen with her, which isn’t something I get out of many games. I’m really glad I got
into the series.

Cool. Glad you are enjoying it.

Personally, I too like to play such games in order of release. So, I think that's a good way to go.
