Replaying Ghost of Tsushima. I beat it on PS4 back when it came out and started a New Game Plus save, but stopped playing after that so never played the expansion. I got the Director’s Cut on PS5 and have currently finished Act 1 and the expansion and am working on Act 2.
Last week I went deep into Next Fest and came up with a bunch of demos, to varying success. Tried Synergy (promising), Sword of Convallaria (great, but deeply concerned about the mobile/gacha systems), Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds (not great, borrows shamelessly from Divinity: Original Sin 2), and Balatro (surprisingly interesting).
For now, I’m kind of bouncing around, not being able to settle on anything. Might go back to Atelier Ayesha tonight.
It introduces a modular magic system, where you learn spell components and make your own spells. Eventually your magic gets powerful enough that you don’t need most tools. It also adds rituals, familiars, enchantments, and some automation.
I really like that instead of introducing a lot of extra fluff, it utilizes underused Minecraft ores, mainly gold and those purple crystals.
Send the kid’s father’s head to him in a box with a letter in it framing a major enemy of yours with the murder. Do this with every single encounter. In 10 to 20 years a huge group of these children will have grown up to be adults seeking revenge for their fathers against your greatest foe.
I felt like going back to swtor. My main account was disabled, expired or something and I can't recover it without calling some dumb schmucks working for EA support.
Went in on a secondary account I used to bypass the character restrictions and now I'm scratching the itch until it finally dies for good.
It has a daily login reward, some kind of battle pass, everything is paywalled, limited number of rewards, they changed character creation and unified classes, but pvp is active.
I had a group of players in a Curse of Strahd campaign. They started killing soldiers in Vallaki indiscriminately and leaving behind their bodies - not even looting them! So I had Strahd return a bag of things they “left behind” including a letter from a loving wife about how much she missed soldier A, a drawing from a child for their father soldier B, a locket with a picture of soldier C and wife, etc.
Friend convinced me to try Helldivers 2 this past weekend. I had fun, but I also don’t think it’s as great as the hype it’s getting either. Friend thinks it will be a long term playing game but I felt like I saw most of what it offered in 3 days of playing. Guess we’ll see. I’m also trying out the FF7 rebirth demo. Wish I had more time to play stuff but this is all I have currently.
Thirty hours into Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Main story has started to ramp up, but I keep getting distracted by the business management mini-game and the kart-racing minigame that I just discovered while wandering around the map. It never ceases to amaze me just how dense these games are and just how many side activities they managed to pack into one game.
I had this so much playing Sniper Elite. You’d shoot a Nazi in the head and get a brutal slowmo of the bullet shattering his skull, then loot his body and get a letter to his mom apologizing for not being a better son. Like, christ dude.
