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?
Interesting about the Yumia game, I guess it’s the one to skip.
I still have Zero Escape (and Danganronpa) series to play, will probably get around to it this year. Let’s see how that pans out.
You’re going to find a lot of people saying “solid JRPG, bad Atelier” for Yumia, and I think that’s the perfect summary for the game. There’s the technical problems that still need to be adressed, but the developer has been consistently pushing updates so hopefully most will be fixed eventually.
Also, since we’re talking about this series - we just got a trailer for a new game, which looks to be more of a “classic” Atelier game but this time including Shop management! Hope that part of the game works well, I remember very fondly my time playing Recettear.
Ah, interesting.
Heh, I shared the trailer for next game before looking at your comment 😀 Shop management could be fun. Would wait for your review.
