I took a little break from video games this week, mainly because the weather has been really nice but also because I had a particularly salty game of PUBG on Monday. I believe I shouted, “Oh f**k this shit, I hate this f**king game,” after being mown down with an AK-47.
Playing a little Oxenfree here and there, which I got free from Twitch Prime from having an Amazon Prime account. Left the Adler estate and am doing.. something.. I forget. It’s been awhile since I saw the part where they discussed what to do next, and there’s none of the usual map indicators. The dialogue in the game…
I decided to pick up Destiny 2, as it was the new Humble Monthly bundle unlock.
Happy mother’s day to all the moms out there! Trying to make my wife’s first one special this weekend!
More Dragon Age: Orognins. Pretty much at the point of obtaining the Hold Hand Grenade of Andraste now, which means I’m maybe about half way through.
So I picked up Nier: Automata on sale and uh, I was not ready for this. Gonna need to do Easy mode just to get to the point where I’m allowed to save because that intro is harsh, even for a Platinum game. Like I got through the intros of Bayonetta 1-2 and Wonderful 101, I did badly but I got through. This- will be a…
Ooh, a David Lynch-inspired horror game that goes against the grain to have its retro graphics be based around fifth generation consoles? And I’m not dependent on having a Windows computer? I can’t in good faith purchase Paratopic for a while, but that’s something to remember. I’ve been wanting bolder games to explore…
I’ll have to be quick due to being busy, but at last I have a pirate story! After weeks of promising one I can finally deliver. My catholic guilt is assuaged! I haven’t seen anyone else on Gameological playing Sea of Thieves, so I accept my role as a SoT ambassador for the commentariat.
Really enjoying God Of War! About three quarters of the way through it, and I find myself actually hunting out side quests just so I don’t finish it too quickly.
This week I’m playing...
Still playing God of War which is still the goddam best. Patrick Klepeck over at waypoint wrote an article about how he loves it now but reserves the right to change his opinion later which is understandable considering many games that received this level of universal acclaim later received a pretty significant “wait…
Witcher 3: Blood and Wine. After being away for so long, it’s kind of amazing bringing a fresh perspective to just how thoroughly polished everything is. The dialogue and plots are well written, everything is fully voiced, and the sidequests are actually interesting instead of being “Fetch this to here”. Just finished…
Not much videogame playing this last week, as instead I’ve mainly been playing Let’s Have Decorators In, Filling Your House With Dust. I’ve made a bit of progress on Dragon Age: Origins though; both the Redcliffe and Circle of Magi quests are completed. Next I’ll be off to fetch the Holy MacGuffin.
Ah, Podracer. Definitely worth a go, but I remember it being disappointingly easy. Also as I recall it does that Star Wars Game thing of having the John Williams score on *all the time*. It’s probably mandated in a style-guide somewhere, and it’s a great score, but a bit of a break now and then would be welcome.
It’s been a miserable week of gaming, by which I mean that all the games I’ve been playing have rather dour plots.
I will be playing Thrones of Britannia, the Total War not-too-vast game that came out last night. I had a brief play around as Circenn up in Scotland, and completely mucked up my first fight by confusing skirmishers and melee cavalry so I might start over. The starting position is an odd one because you have no…
Taking a break from MonHunWorld, so I dived back into some things I hadn’t played in a while.
Still inching my way through Dark Souls 3. Also still writing about it.
So it turns out that I was about half an hour from the end of Metroid: Other M since the point where I stopped. So really, I can’t say much more about it than I’ve not said before, but while it’s not necessarily “hubristic,” it is misguided to a degree that calls to mind the most stupidly ambitious of projects. It…
