Last weekly thread of March!

  • Still playing Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs. In chapter 5 now, I should be more than half done. Still enjoying it.

  • Finished Jotun: Valhala Edition. I was playing it a few weeks ago, but took a break at last boss. Finally went back and finished the game.

  • While I am enjoying Regalia, wanted something more action-oreinted, so looked at my backlog and started Neon Chrome. I am generally not a roguelike fan, but I like twin stick shooters, so started that. Not sure if I'll actually finish this, but enjoying it for now.

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

I finished the Story of Arkham Knight, the final tally is 120% (I know now that some DLC is woven into the story and adds extra math to that). I can't say if it's my favorite Arkham game or not, it has its ups and downs, but it definitely has the best moments across the series. The finale alone is amazing. I won't go into any detail, but let's just say the whole sequence was so good, I didn't even realize until a few hours after that the game doesn't have a final boss. I mean, it kinda does, of course, but it happens too early to register as a 'final' boss.

So now I'm doing New Game Plus. Arkham games have always had this NG+ that is essentially a hard mode without combat indicators, but they have never been that hard in my opinion. Arkham Knight definitely feels harder though and I think it's because of the improved visual fidelity. Enemies' attack animations don't seem to stand out as much anymore.

Sparks of Hope update: World 4 done, Mario and Luigi are still broken. Will the game ever catch up to my maxed out hair triggers? Most generic encounters still end before the enemies get an attack off or even get their turn at all.

That's good to hear about Arkham Knight, it's on top of the backlog games (for PS) that I have to try... unless I end up buying Helldivers 2. @[email protected] has been putting lots of peer pressure on me.

Does Sparks of Hope allow you to play without Mario? The first one didn't allow it. Wondering if you can just remove them both from the team if you want a bit of challenge.

Woah woah woah there buddy. I've only placed the requisite amount of peer pressure required to ensure long lasting managed democracy throughout the galaxy.

requisite amount of peer pressure

I am going to save this phrase. 😀
