Finished the New Game Plus for Alan Wake 2 (PS5) and got the platinum. Now i am back on Grime (PC) which is fun. I like how I dont lose all my money when i die. Also, im actually not bad at parrying here like i am in most games.
I also bought some games from the Steam Winter Sale. Started Overboard and Word Factori.
Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.8.3.0 – Build 264901. This patch was released on 14 November 2023. It is the last patch of Update 8 development, bringing its features to the stable branch.
I was almost interested in Season of Discovery but then I remember Blizzard’s (lack of a) policy on bots. For me it really devalues the time and effort I put into the game when a quarter of the playerbase are botting and ruining the economy.
I just finished Yakuza 3. I have loved 0, 1, and 2. 3 was tough simply due to the lack of music cues. There is so much time spent listening to “ambient_beach.mp3” or “bustling_small_city.ogg” that it was getting tedious. The story is great and it shows off a side of Kiryu that hadn’t been developed and was great fun to see. The gameplay was so-so. Stiff and of the era. I’m currently taking a short break before I dig into Y4. I’m really excited to get up to LaD and that game style, but I am enjoying the story to get there.
I like how the moment-to-moment is still strategic and tense, but its not as brutal as something like tarkov. (By default when you die, you keep what you went in with)
Just finished Signalis, got the “Promise” ending. Feel pretty empty after that, it’s such a good game and is further proof that games don’t have to have incredible graphical fidelity or huge teams to be fantastic and look great.
I wanted to play Star Wars Rebellion, but my copy is doing a thing where all the icons in-game are upside down. Apparently it’s a known issue running the game on newer OS (How? WHY?!) but until it’s fixed I can’t really play.
I’ve been playing Call Of Duty 2 as part of taking notes about the roots of the series. Not sure if there’s enough meat for a proper essay but I will see.
I really can’t wait for Christmas break to immerse myself in something. Maybe Deus Ex.
Kinda in between games, I’m currently playing genshin/star rail as fillers while I decide on something better to play. Occasionally I play pandemic legacy season 0 on tabletop simulator and it’s a blast! Always love some pandemic legacy
