Finished Chatper 10 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition !
Now doing side missions etc to level up for chapter 11. I noticed my play time is about 70 hours. Didn’t realise that I have played this much. It feels like I should be still be around 30 hours or so. Which shows that even with all the complaints I had about the game, I am still enjoying it so much that I didn’t notice the time.
Played some more Marvel’s Midnight Suns.
I recall reading interview of the Firaxis guys (forgot their name) about how they wanted the people to play aggressively and that’s why they added timer in X-Com 2. If you don’t clear the mission in that time, some very strong enemies join the battle.
Midnight Suns fortunately doesn’t have that, but each turn enemy get reinforcements. They are all one-hit kill, but when you have only 3 attack (some cards give you free attack if you kill in one hit), it means you have to be aggressively attack all the other enemies, or you will just keep fighting until you die.
Not a big fan of this, but it is much better than the X-Com 2 solution, IMO, which gave me too much pressure and I wasn’t able to enjoy the game. This is not too big of a deal here, but still a slight annoyance.
Also played some more Ghost of Tsushima.
Just slowly exploring the second area and clearing territories and anything I come across.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
Got sucked into Xenoblade X, it’s from one of my favorite ongoing series after all. Finished the first 4 chapters and did a lot of exploration until my vacation ended and will continue this weekend.
I could probably blitz through some more chapters if I wanted to. I’m Lv 24 and did a good chunk of the map activies already. Got about 30% of Primordia and a bit of the others.
I’ve already played the original version and am really curious about the additinal content, but it’s also been nice to test the online features. They were long gone when I played the WiiU one.
Happy Cake Day!
I am a bit annoyed at the enemy placement / aggressiveness in this game, may main missions require you to pass through or get close a high level enemy, which can be pretty annoying. Other than that, it’s a pretty fun game.
