Getting the year off right by forgetting to post this on Sunday, but better nate than lever. Anyway I watched the Fallout show so I am inspired to play Fallout 4 on survival difficulty. It’s been slow going so far as I’ve died numerous times, often losing ~30 mins of progess. Hope everyone’s new year has gotten off to a strong start.
Cassette Beasts! I finally burnt out on Pokemon and had the time-slot for another monster collector. Great music, story, art direction, etc… It officially dethroned Darkest Dungeon as my favorite game.
Still on my anime games kick but I took a break from Dragon Ball on the famicom to read some comic books.

How does the series develop as it goes along? I battled through half of Origins a couple of years ago, found it borderline unplayable on console so restarted after a few hours on PC, but eventually fell off. I just couldn’t enjoy the combat or the controls, in either style. Does that sort of stuff get better in the later games?
2 is pretty similar to Origins but maybe a bit faster, Inquisition is more streamlined for better and for worse (there are some optional “don’t stand in the red circle” fights where the companion AI doesn’t recognize what a red circle is). I’d say if the gameplay in Origins was a dealbreaker that you probably won’t enjoy the other games in the franchise, except maybe Veilguard which I haven’t played.

It’s not like I don’t enjoy CRPG or tactical combat, I just thought it wasn’t done very well in DA:O. It felt like it was in a weird spot, where it was halfway between a modern version of that type of game and a retro version. Like I can go back and play Fallout 1 which is much clunkier, but you kind of expect that. I really wanna enjoy Dragon Age because I want to see how the story plays out and how your decisions carry over, like in Mass Effect.

I’m playing Potion Craft and I love it, it’s the perfect relaxation game
I decided to replay Green Hell but it’s been so long since I played through it I’m having to relearn stuff
Finished ac6. Game fun, occasionally bullshit.
Those fuckin’ sunflower wheels.
Them, the invisible snipers, the several fights where they gang up on you. Enemies cheating on stagger
most egregious was
Having to kill Michigan and his whole squad. Like unless you have the right loadout you will just run out of ammo.
Ah, yeah, the spoiler was total bullshit, but I really enjoyed it just because my build was juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust riding the line. Think I had like 5 shots left when it ended.
Picked up Mass Effect trilogy remastered on a lark because it was cheap and I didn’t know if my computer could run it. Turns out it does. However, I can only muster the motivation to play it late at night and stumbling into ridiculously deep dialogue trees when I want to sleep is really having an impact on my enjoyment of the game.

It’s strange, I played through all three pretty much back to back about ten years ago, really enjoyed them. But I’ve never had the slightest desire to replay them. Not sure why.

Played a decent bunch of Brotato’s new DLC. The second map seems quite a bit harder, but I’m having fun.
Just finished a Total Warhammer 3 game as Chaos Undivided, in the Realm of Chaos campaign. The RoC campaign SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS. Worse than TW2’s Vortex. I don’t know how CA keeps doing this, but the completely randomly spawning armies is still just as infuriating. Guess I’ll just play Immortal Empires from now on because goddamn.
Also been playing a good chunk of Darktide. Ogryn good, throw rock at specials and laugh.

As far as I’m aware they’re still adding new special campaign mechanics for every character in the new DLCs. The last proper mini-campaign IIRC was for Khazrak One-Eye in TW1.

I’m replaying The Witcher 3, after finishing Cyberpunk 2077 last week I decided to replay TW3 to see if my nostalgia was wrong and TW3 wasn’t that much better than Cyberpunk and no TW3 is much better than C2077.
Trails of Cold Steel. Compared to the other games in the series the writing is closer to light novel slop, but I am still enjoying the worldbuilding, combat and character interactions so I don’t know what that says about me. I have heard that the fourth one is abysmal though so I might suffer when I get there. I really want to play the games after Reverie though so I will have to manage
Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005), I found this cool mod that adds in new eras based off The Clone Wars. Commando droids are overpowered and it’s cool to have a magnaguard with a proper shock staff instead of the weird grenade launcher that vanilla swbf2 has.
I’ve been at the new Project Zomboid build. I’ve settled into one of those big houses with tall fences in the south of Muldragh and I’m trying to set it up for long term. The late game stuff seems a lot more developed now with significantly more complex agriculture, smithing, and crafting. It’s kind of all too much for single player though, like it could take months if not years of ingame time to master all of it and it’s also easy enough to loot that it’s like why bother?
Idk I’m having fun at least.
Been playing lots of UFO 50, the dino tower defense mostly and enjoying that.
Been continuing my persona 5 playthrough, and it has really grown on me, the mechanics and plot have gel’d nicely and I’m happy to do either. Just finished the summer break. Just met the gamer kid who teaches us how to shoot better lol.
Just started playing Pacific Drive. I’m not really a car person but I am enjoying taking care of my jalopy. Also tourists are the worst.
Been playing CK3 the last couple of weeks. I just moved into a new place and I don’t have most of my stuff set up so I’ve just played a bit of that on my laptop. I think I’m getting an itch to get back into deliverance: kingdom come again once I have my Xbox set up
