Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (15th February)

Hey everyone.

This week I finished Laika Aged through Blood, 100% all side quests and all weapons and upgrades done. Put in over 235 hours into it and loved every minute. Some amazing bosses that make you look tiny in comparison. Amazing game and clearly one of my favourites.

Also near the end of Morkull Ragast's Rage, I've enjoyed it. Not amazing but still very good.

Also started Skelethrone: Chronicles of Ericona. This reminds me of a mix of Blasphemous and Last Faith but done by a smaller developer. I'm really enjoying it, some of the bosses are super hard but I've beaten them. I'm playing on hard because I hate my hands 😜

I will add that I also put in an order in through VGP and bought Silver Axe, The Messenger, Tevi, and Beyond the Ice Palace 2. Can't wait for them to arrive.

Have a great weekend everyone

• Stray: that was a cute little sci-fi story, I was looking for the remaining memories but figured I have to re-do the full chapters so I'll leave it at that. 81% is also fine.
• Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calimity: going to get back to this one, reading about the new warriors game really got me in the mood!
• Avicii Invector: after reaching 95+% on every track, I'm going for A rank or better. Gameplay is a bit lose but still plenty of fun and even though there are only 36 tracks, most of them are pretty good.
• Tetris Effect Connected: participating in the weekly ritual & full moon (my weekend routine).
• Tetris 99: I got mine already, don't forget to unlock your DKC Returns theme!
• Ghost 'n Goblins: I got back into this NSO game, I've beaten it once (fake ending) and I'm at part 4 again on my way to beating it for real this time ... I think I'm using rewind just as much as jumping and shooting XD

Happy gaming everybody! ✌🏻🧡🎮

Pikmin 1+2: Thought I'd see what all the fuss is about and where better to start than at the beginning? I like strategy games quite a bit and this seems to fit that bill so here goes.

I recently completed Dragon Quest III HD-2D after 44 hours and man, that was old school RPG done to perfection: tough at times but always fair and honestly gorgeous to look at. Can't wait to continue the story with I and II!

@Zuljaras Do you have an entry point to recommend for newcomers to Castlevania?

@JohnnyMind How are you finding DQ3?

Mostly Ace Attorney Investigations 2. Finishing soon the 2nd case (hilarious!) and starting the 3rd. Also a bit of Wario Land 4. Taking a break from Dragon Quest III HD-2D and Wario Land 3, but I want to finish all of these before 20th of March, guess why.

DK Country Returns and Stitch. The later is so relaxing to play. Especially now that I bought a cheap stylus to play it in handheld mode.

After a little over two months, I'm nearing the end of Returnal. I was in love at first, but the challenge of Phrike and the mountain in the Crimson Wastes drove me pretty close to quitting. With a bit of stubbornness, and only playing when I felt especially alert, I pushed through, something clicked, and it's become wonderful again. The rest of the game, whilst hard, was never so frustrating and it took less time to complete than the first biome alone. If my next run goes well, I'll be getting the secret ending and then I'll finally have a look at the Tower of Sisyphus. I don't see myself getting the platinum as it looks more like a time sink with the RNG than anything challenging.

I think I'll then play a quick game (maybe A Short Hike) before going back to Yakuza with Yakuza 5.

It is still WAAALENTINES day!

Well, not really. But I shall be playing more of the excellent WARIO LAND 4. It is so good! Nintendo are just the best at level design, they really are. I adored Wario Land (Mario Land 3?) on the classic GB and never had this one, so it is a real treat.

Not much gaming for me this weekend! Gotta have family at home but until then I'll play some Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, I found my old cartridge some time ago and wanted to reply it. Happy gaming everyone!

Just getting into A Highland Song and what an awesome game it is! Great voice acting, beautiful visuals, and gorgeous music.
Also loving the demo for Is This Seat Taken?
Been playing a lot of Starfox 64. Beat it for the first time since the 1990s. It's super fun and looks so good at high frame rates.
Garbanzo Quest is really fun, and so is Steredenn (which I've finally gotten to play in a way that looks smooth to me, using 55fps on Deck and Lossless Scaling on laptop).
Also playing SF Rush (love the decomp and the fan game made in Unity that allows for 128 car death races!), Battle Garegga, UFO 50, SM64 coopdx, Eigengrau, TOTK, wipeout phantom edition, and Pikuniku.
Happy gaming everyone!

I'm playing a bit of Streets of Rage 4, and finishing up some stuff in The Outer Worlds. I was excited for Avowed, but it's looking a bit bland for me.

Went through Sonic Advance last night and should be done with 2 and 3 by the end of the weekend! Boy they sure do like their spikes, crushes, and pitfalls.

I just completed a playthrough of Kirby's Adventure on my channel, and that's gotten me into a bit of a Kirby kick. So, I've decided to dub the rest of February, "Kirby Month!"

I'm currently playing through Kirby Super Star, which will have daily uploads on the channel starting next week. The following week, I plan to move on to Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Here's the link to my first episode of Kirby's Adventure, if anybody wants to check it out:

http://youtu.be/M4ojJ-rptVY?si=KAg0PfR0H-rIR2A7

I'd like to start making themed months a regular thing on my channel. With next month being "Mar10 Day," I might dedicate March to playing a bunch of Mario games on camera. We'll see!

Plucking along at Ys Origin when I can, still love it. Been very busy past couple weeks so looking fwd to some proper gaming tomorrow. My copy of Oath of Felghana arrived yesterday as well, even more goodies on the horizon. Have a good one everyone

Mario & Luigi: Brothership. I think I am nearing the end. Still fun enough to play, even after more than 60 hours.

A few races in Gran Turismo 1 for the PlayStation 1. I want to earn more credits, so I can buy a supercar.

Probably more Ring Fit Adventure, too. I really love this game and I think combining fitness with gaming is a genius idea.

Happy gaming everyone!

@JohnnyMind I actually just finished it lol. I'm glad to see the series giving such love and attention to the early entries, as it gives many like myself the chance to experience a great game that we may have missed out on growing up. It has a charming aesthetic and goofy monsters to contrast with the epic and somber story that I find quite appealing.

Outside of my channel, I've been playing Wario Land 4, which is a game I didn't grow up with, so it's basically a new Wario game to me. So far, I think the game is okay, but I went in with really high expectations, knowing how influential this game was on various indie platformers like Anton Blast and Pizza Tower.

I knew going in that the levels were designed to have you running back to the start under a time limit by taking alternate routes, but the level design doesn't feel as clever as I was expecting, to be honest. Some mechanics annoy me a little bit, like how Wario drops whatever item he's holding if you bump against a wall. The space between walls is often very narrow, so the amount of times I've dropped the enemy or rock I was holding has been very frustrating.

As far as I can tell, all of the transformations are lifted from Wario Land 3, which makes them a little less exciting. It was surreal to realize how many assets from the first WarioWare game were lifted straight from this one; music, Wario's sound bytes, sound effects, the minigame where you're assembling a Wario face... I had no idea those all originated in this game, so that's pretty neat. Props for that.

Speaking of the minigames, though--they kind of suck. They take far too long to get started. Like the one where I jump over obstacles as Wario on a tire, it feels like it takes 10 seconds or more before the first obstacle shows up. You have to grind away at the minigames to earn enough coins to buy items to make the bosses easier. I kind of hate that the game actively encourages me to skip entire phases of boss battles so I can beat it within the time limit and get all treasures.

The boss fights are tedious and go on for way too long. I just ran out of time on one when it only had one or two hits left, and that was after buying an item from the shop that dealt a fair bit of damage. So before I take on the boss again, I'm gonna have to grind away at those boring minigames again to make sure I don't run out of time again. It's just not a fun gameplay loop at all.

I was so excited when this game was announced to be coming to NSO, and I really wish I were enjoying it more. I don't hate it, but it's a bit of a slog for me to get through, and that really bums me out. The game just isn't clicking with me. I also missed a gem piece on the pinball level, which was easily the most tedious and boring level in the game so far, so I really dread having to go back and replay it. The fact you can "clear" the level without getting the key to advance to the next one or without the four Shards needed to unlock the boss is kind of annoying. It feels like needless padding because they knew players would have to go back and replay levels.

I still intend to see the game through to the end, but I feel no incentive to 100% complete it. Especially considering the records you unlock aren't even real songs and just sound nonsensical in not even a particularly funny way. I sort of get the impression the game was rushed out to coincide with the GBA launch window; I can't exactly articulate why, it just feels less polished to me than most Nintendo games. Maybe that's supposed to be part of the charm?

Oh well. I guess not every game is going to be for me, and that's okay. I know it has a cult following of passionate fans though, so I know my critique is gonna disappoint some people, and I feel a little bad about that.

Been playing Hitman Blood Money (the LRG physical release), which has been a lot of fun. My first foray into the series too.

I've also managed to get The Sims 2 (and the Stories spin-offs) working on my laptop without having to give EA any more money for their incomplete legacy collection (I already own all of the games physically).

And I've spent today with my local Pokémon Go community for Hoopa Unbound raid day. Nothing great. No shinies or hundies for me today (Hoopa is still shiny-locked anyway).

I've been obsessively playing Elden Ring, a rare non-Nintendo game for me, but I may have to quit. I've got two mandatory bosses that I just cannot beat and my progression is stuck - it's starting to get not fun. Which is a shame because it's one of the best games I've ever played.

I’ve been playing a ton of Vividlope and attempting to 100% V ranks. It’s tough but I’m having fun with it. Great game I really do recommend.

On the Series X it’s been the OG Ninja Gaiden 2. Fun game but boy howdy that camera is so bad.

I’ve just started Happy Home Paradise in my replay of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I mostly know already how I’m going to go about it this time, especially the facilities. I’ll start seriously planning out development for my island, too.

I’d like to play at least a little Salmon Run in Splatoon 3 for Eggstra Work and the normal Salmon Run with a random weapon included. I haven’t played 3 at all lately ever since I’ve been disillusioned with Splatfest in the game. It doesn’t help that my Wi-Fi is no longer reliable to play the game stably, so I have to go my parents’ home next door to play online there. Don’t ask me why this is.

I’ll play Wario Land 4 off and on as well. For someone who started with WarioWare, it’s interesting to see how this game inspired the WarioWare series with how weird it is, even compared to previous Wario games!

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

I’m 50+ hours deep, haven’t even touched a single main quest, and yet I’ve become Henry the Lion-Heart, traveling the country side, speaking the language of dog, convincing villagers on the road that I’m the Dark Lord, getting drunk while saving drunks that have climbed up trees, sleeping in beds that aren’t mine, and stealing wreath’s from an opposing village up in qualms with another. I’m dirty, I’m clean, but I’m reliable and charismatic either way.

I love this game.

Today I will be playing DKC Tropical Freeze. I finished 5 worlds and collected all puzzle pieces (Squawks, you could have been more useful, you know?). I've already completed a number of levels in sixth world, so I'm hoping to finish the game today.

And tomorrow I will probably start Ultros.

More Fire Emblem Engage for me. I'm on Chapter 17, so I think I'm 2/3 through the game at this point. I'm actually enjoying it more than Three Houses. I also picked up Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip. I may boot it up this weekend, even though I typically play only one game at a time. It's a short game, and im starting to grow fond of small open worlds like Lil Gator Game/A Short Hike/Alba/Loddlenaut. I've been really stressed out lately and I need something positive and relaxing to chill out with.

Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered came out yesterday so now that's the focus. While I do think there will be a February general Direct (probably next week considering the week after is Pokemon Day), I don't think its announcements would distract me from the path of the next 4 games I play being Tomb Raider 4-6 and XCX.

Playing the Nioh 2 DLCs ^__^

Still investigating every square inch of the Tornan titan in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Torna the Golden Country. I'm playing Xenoblade, the world-threatening cataclysm can wait.

Still working on some studies so maybe mostly that for me, but also likely to complete This Way Madness Lies, which is a charming little trifle. It's going to be quite cold for the foreseeable future so maybe getting my kids turned on to Okami.

Happy gaming everyone!

I need to beat the Jokerless challenge to 100 percent Balatro. I got Completionist++ last weekend and zipped through the other challenges this week.

I unlocked the DKCR theme in Tetris 99 last night. One of my favorite themes. The music fits perfectly, in my opinion. I felt like it had me totally focused.

I also want to get back in shape on Splatoon. I played a little recently for the first time since the Balatro addiction really took hold, and boy, am I out of condition.

Three-day weekend. I promised the Spear-ess some together time, but I also hope to finally start something new.

the eiyuden games are on deep discount right now, so I bought them both! gonna play the prequel first so thats what ill be playing this weekend 👍 (if anything tbh)

This week I will be mostly playing

Disney’s Magical Quest 3 with Mickey & Donald

I'm over halfway through Starlink Battle For Atlas. Fun game in my opinion, especially playing as Fox McCloud.

So glad the Switch 2 supports backwards compatibility as I have a massive backlog 😁

Finished Stray on Switch which I really liked, the resolution dropped quite low in some scenes in portable, but overall a really great port of the game and first time I've completed it.

I've been playing R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 (PS1) and Ridge Racer 2 (PSP) on PS4. It's actually really good that Sony is making PSN games I purchased digitally PS3 available on PS4 as they become available on the classics catalogue. They are also updating regional 60Hz variants as an option to the PS1 games. Also, thought I'd charge my Vita for the first time in years for some portable Ridge Racer (PSP) and it still works! If only the Switch had a Ridge Racer game.

Lastly finally playing Tomb Raider AoD in the new remastered collection on Switch. Feels like a 'lost' game in some ways to me, so it's great to have it updated and available alongside Last Revelation and Chronicles which I had played on Dreamcast.

I just got got past the Earth Crystal on Final Fantasy V (Super Famicom version).

Both of my kids are about halfway through Chrono Trigger now. I've been hanging out with them a lot while they play it.

I started Fantasian: Neo Dimensions this week! So far I’ve only been able to play in 15-30 minute intervals, but I am having such a great time! It has that special sauce that only the best turn based JRPGs can manage, and I’m looking forward to getting lost in its world

@Manguy888A Have you tried summoning / jolly cooperation? Always helped me in the Souls games I've completed where I almost felt like giving up. They specialise in making you feel you can't win, and when you finally do, feels like a real achievement. I got a bit lost in Elden Ring as it's so massive compared to Bloodborne and Dark Souls, I must to get back to it at some point.

Greetings fellow video game enthusiasts. I pulled the trigger in my 30 days of Game Pass I won from a box of Cheerios. So far it’s been a mixed bag. Got softlocked at the start of Indiana Jones when I couldn’t open a bush far enough. I don’t think I’ll be subscribing beyond the 30 days. Sorry Phillip

Think it'll still be mostly Guilty Gear Strive for me this weekend.

I started playing Wario Land 4 on NSO, and I already love it. One of my favorite things about it, is how morbidly gross the boss battles are. I can only imagine how much nightmares those designs gave to kids back in the day. I love it for that though.

Wind Waker on the ol' GameCube for me, alongside a little Prince of Persia on Switch.

I’m on the road this weekend but did play a bit of balatro and wario land 4. I’ll be getting back home late tonight so I hope to finish up Indiana jones and the great circle. I’ve had a great time with it and would like to go back to get some of the collectibles I missed. I’m missing one skill book in the Vatican I had picked up in the streets while running from a nazi horde, I died and the book is now gone but not collected.

I'm actually playing the first Wario Land, which I bought before the WL4 announcement but didn't come until this week.

Assassins Creed Odyssey, as I have been the past two weeks straight. I'm still struggling to get my head around just how legitimately, stupidly, big this game is. It's alternately a dazzling testament to one company's boundless ambition and a truly terrifying glimpse into a world that perpetuates crunch culture at the same time. Truly mindboggling stuff.

A bit more FF7 Rebirth (chapter 4) and some time on the SNES/Megadrive minis ...... Both hooked up to a CRT of course 👍🕹️

Once again I'll try to get further into DKC Returns HD but Snowrunner (Switch) keeps getting in the way. My game time this last week was somewhat more limited again so when I did finally sit down to play, I'd boot up Snowrunner with the intention of getting to DKC right after. Never happens.

My game time this weekend is a bit limited again too but technically there will be some "Nintendo" fun. The wife and I are going to Universal Hollywood tomorrow to renew our annual passes so I'll definitely spend some time in Super Nintendo World. I'm hoping I can convince her to eat lunch at Toadstool Cafe but she isn't the biggest fan of it. We'll see but we agree on having plenty of Duff beer and that delicious Jurassic World IPA beer

No Yoshi game come close to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, but I'm trying to beat Yoshi's New Island on 3DS 100%, special stages included.

Not playing anything at the moment on Switch, but I need to beat Mario + Rabbids that I dropped when I got other games like Lugi's Mansion 3 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Right now playing Starfield on Series X, amazing experience.

Last weekend my living room set delivered on time, and I must say, Zelda herself couldn’t summon a comfier couch! It’s actually hindering my progress in Freedom Wars Remastered - in the evening when I settle down to play, often I’ll fall asleep before I start a mission!

Other than my favorite new MonHun community-service anime game, I’ll probably play a few Arcade Archive treats (like try to get past stage 3 in Märchen Maze) and I’ll probably shop Hamster’s Ake-Aka sale this weekend. Ninja Warriors at a discount is too tempting to pass up!

Wishing everyone a fun weekend! 🕹🥷

MVC Collection:
MVC2 – beaten the game as Roll/Dan/Kobun, Rockman/Tron/Amingo, Morrigan/Felicia/Bulleta, and Hayato/Jin/Hiryū.
Fate/EXTELLA LINK – beaten Stage 9 to unlock Lancelot Berserker, beaten Stage 16 to unlock Darius III Berserker. Started 2nd route. Beaten Stages 1, 4, 8, and 11. Unlocked Francis Drake Rider and Artoria Pendragon Saber.
Crypt of the NecroDancer – finally bought Synchrony DLC! Beaten the game as Suzu and Klarinetta. And played some online multiplayer.
Well, for now, it's all what I've played on this week. Have a nice gaming weekend, everyone.

T-minus 13ish days til I (we) get lost in Monster Hunter Wilds so I’ve been tackling as much of the backlog as I possibly can. This week I finished the Injustice 2 & Tekken 8 campaigns after my deep dive into the Ninja Gaiden franchise. Both pleasant surprises. Both wacky yet fun stories. Amazing fighting game overall. I’m currently exploring NYC & fighting crime in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. That opening Rhino fight>>>

Super Smash Bros Ultimate: Adventure Mode

Super Mario 3D World: World 7

Apart from Wario Land 4 and the DKCR Event in Tetris 99 plus maybe some Jump Ultimate Stars on the side for fun, this is the Valentine's Weekend so I'll spend it with the woman that owns my heart.

Of course I'm talking about Samus Aran, I just got a copy of Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS, plus I have had the amiibo duo ready since 2019.

And yes, that may sound depressingly pathetic for some.

Rogue Legacy finally behind and countless other backlog items still ahead, this weekend's gaming sessions will likely continue to tap into various franchise binges with multiple installed entries (Xenoblade, Rune Factory, Tales, Persona, Castlevania, Atelier) in addition to other possibilities like Carto, Little Noah, Gal Gun Returns, Civilization VI, Great Ace Attorney, Minstrel Song, Setsuna and Truck Driver. More non-Switch playthroughs from Death Stranding, Neptunia and Fantasy Life to Endless Frontier, Flatout Head On and Xenogears aren't off the table either.

Meh, too lazy to bother much with a preamble today. Must be one of those Saturdays.

• Fire Emblem: Three Houses - I'm on chapter 4 in the Blue Lions route. About to start the main mission. Definitely enjoying my time with the game so far, though I'll admit the sheer amount of activities to do in the monastery are overwhelming. Normally I'd just try to enjoy the ride, but there are a few characters I'd love to catch from the other houses.
• The Legend of Zelda: Brick Edition - My "side game" for now. I've made it to the part where the all-important set split occurs and will go the BotW Deku Tree route. In the meantime, I've assembled all the minifigures + Hestu and Link's house from Ocarina of Time.

Happy gaming!

It's a 3 day weekend for me.
world of tanks console- doing the week 2 challenges
The elder scrolls IV
no man's sky

This week I’ll be finishing - monster hunter stories plus playing some sunbreak with friends

Happy Weekend, gang!
I tried out the demo for Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog, and I gotta say, I really dig the style. It's got this old-school mecha anime aesthetic with Gameboy coloring (alt. Color options are available). The opening was intriguing, so I may finish the demo up. Otherwise, it's already done its job.
I'll be starting Urban Myth Dissolution Center (probably) today. It's another one with a sick aesthetic, so I'm excited to dive in!

There may be some Rise of Nations with the cousins, but I'll be out and about for a lot of the weekend. Playing spikeball at the beach this morning; catching Captain America in theaters; and hitting up the bookstore, since I'm just about done with The Ikessar Falcon and am all out of new stuff to read. We'll also be picking up a few manga volumes for things we've fallen behind on.

I forgot to vote for it, but I got the Tetris 99 DKC Returns theme last night.

These are what I'm playing this weekend:

• Ys IX: Monstrum Nox (Steam Deck)
• Virtua Fighter 5 REVO (Steam Deck)
• Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist (Switch)
• Momodora: Moonlit Farewell (Switch)
• Golden Axe (Sega 32X version via Retroid Pocket 4)
• Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Battle Assault (Game Boy Advance)
• Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transform featuring Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox)

Sonic X Shadow Generations (Switch) - Finishing up the main story stages and challenges for Shadow Generations. Starting on the collectibles after that.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection (Switch) - What a blast of nostalgia playing this one. Immediately brought back great memories of playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on the Dreamcast. Also playing The Punisher and it’s been a pretty fun beat em up game through the first few stages.

Visions of Mana (PS5) - About 2 hours in so far & enjoying the game. Was a big fan of Trials and Secret so feeling right at home with this one.

I am on the final level of Turbo Overkill or I think I am anyways. It’s the best FPS I’ve played since Doom Eternal. Can’t wait to replay it again to get all the secrets.
Happy gaming all

I’m playing through Okami right now, but unlike Ollie it’s my first time. The sequel announcement made me finally get around to playing it, and I absolutely love it. Absolutely beautiful game.

I started Ace Attorney Investigations a few weeks ago. Trying to finish Bowser Jr portion of Bowser's Inside Story. Playing Splatoon 3 and Fall Guys. And I started Pokémon X for the 3ds. Never played a Pokémon game before, so I'm giving it a try.

I'm playing 'Angel of Darkness' from the Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered collection. Surprisingly I'm really enjoying it; it's much more story heavy than the PSOne era ones. The controls are actually not far from the ones in the PSOne games. Just finished my first "Tomb" (a night club really) and it really isn't much different from the ones in the "trad" (traditional) Tomb Raider games (I-V +Legend, Anniversay and Underworld imo). Quite challenging really. Not a bad game at all in the remastered version.

Warriors Abyss and The Binding of Isaac on Switch, Delver and Minecraft on my laptop & iPad.🤘🏻

Been playing Langrisser 1&2 Remake or Remaster if you wanna call it that. The game is honestly pretty good, I can see where the Fire Emblem comparisons come from after playing it. I still much prefer Fire Emblem but Langrisser has been a fun time.

Biggest complaint I have is the game looks like a mobile game. It also feels very cluttered when you add mercenaries which makes getting through some maps a chore.

Good morning.
I played these PS4 games on my PS5 machine. 😊
1. The Sims 4

Attended the Blast from the Past event to get exclusive reward stuffs during this February.

2. Dragon Quest Builders

Still working on finishing chapter 3.

Having finished Ninja Gaiden II Black a couple nights ago, I'm back to focusing on *Visions of Mana for Xbox, and WWE 2k24

On switch, still slowly working my way through DQIII HD2D

It's been a bit of slog so I might try to hammer this out as quickly as possible to move on.

Dawn of Sorrow, on the Castlevania DS Collection. Might still mess around with Pokemon Scarlet.

games I'm busy with this weekend

Resident Evil 0 for my Gamecube. Been a few years since i last played the game

Towers of Time points grinding in Mortal Kombat 1 for my Switch Lite

Finally got back into Octopath Traveler II after being distracred by other gsmes the past few months.

It's definitely got better pacing than the first one, and the individual stories feel a lot more interesting and less formulaic. I'm curious to see how things will play out in the late game since it looks like the characters might not all have the same number of chapters. Also I still haven't found like half the guild locations but I don't really want to look it up.... sigh

Now finishing up Momodoro: Reverie under the moonlight. Atmospheric, cute with a tinge of darkness. Really rather shocked at how much I enjoyed it and will now be preordering physical Moonlit Farewell. Lovely stuff.

ONE day...one day I will eventually complete a run of Spelunky 2. I empathize with Sysaphus.

I was close yesterday, as I had a shotgun and the hoverpack, then I used my shotgun like a fool and impaled myself on some spikes.

Finally picked up Dragon Quest III HD-2D a yesterday, so I’ve been going through that this weekend. Having a lot of fun with it, it’s the first time I’ve really gone through DQ3 and I’m having a blast. It’s definitely a classic DQ game though, tons on grinding.

@TheWanderingBard grind alot cause the bosses in that game are really tough especially wen you get to the final area there you face a gauntlet of 3 bosses before the final boss giving you a heads up.

im in the final area in tales of graces f about to face the final boss.

@Banjo- Yoshi's New Island is a game that gets far too much flack, imo. The music could be better, and the game doesn't really bring a whole lot new to the table outside of the uninspired giant egg mechanic. But it's still a solid enough Yoshi game with a good art style and really impressive 3D effects. It doesn't do anything to re-invent the wheel, but sometimes that's okay. Not every game needs a crazy new gimmick; more of the same can be comforting.

I also never finished Mario + Rabbids but need to someday. I picked up the sequel, but I feel like I should beat the first one before starting it--even though the second one looks way more interesting to me.

I'm Valentine's Day bound, so not much. If I can sneak anything, it will be wrapping ch 17 of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, but no guarantees.

@Not_Soos The music is what I hate the most LOL. Compared to Yoshi's Island DS, I'm finding the special stages more interesting.

Microsoft Wordament (Android) - Dailies and Adventure mode is usual.

Halo: Spartan Assault (Windows Phone) - I dare say I'm enjoying this more then normal Halo...

Microsoft Minesweeper (Windows Phone) - Still slowly making progress with this as well.

I finally got 999 moons in mario odyssey. been coin grinding in a section in bowsers kingdom thats actually pretty fun. 20 more costumes, saving the 8 bit mario for last as my final reward.

After finishing up DKC 3 I have decided to start up Hades on Switch. I know the game is old news at this point but I am having a good time with it.

I just finished Metroid zero mission which finishes off all the 2d metroids for me. Now I’m playing Avowed and absolutely loving it

The Turok 3 remaster from Nightdive... I've just completed it 😄

I'm still playing Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, I've started the last case now that I've finished the fourth one, which was by far the best one in the game yet. I am also going through Fire Emblem Awakening, where I have now properly started the Wave 2 DLC maps, and am doing Death's Embrace. Last of all, in Fire Emblem Heroes, I finished Chapter 4 of Book II on Lunatic mode. I also did a bit of Pokemon Moon throughout the week, and I am ready to fight Olivia.

Yakuza Kiwami - Switch
Dark Souls 1 - PC
Death Stranding - PC
Mario Odyssey (did a new save for fun)

Not sure how much time I'll have to play, between work and church. But when I can, I'm on the 2nd great lighthouse on M&L Brothership.

Honestly, I kinda feel like I need to get into a little something else gaming wise, maybe a different, simpler and shorter game? I dunno, maybe the daily grind's getting to me.

That, and I think Afterlove EP has done something to me, and I don't even have it. Love the look and emotion of the game, but honestly don't think it's something for me.

Anyhow, happy weekend!

Finished Disco Elysium last weekend, loved it. Not sure I’d play through again but a great narrative experience.

Been playing a bit of Mario kart 8 trying to get gold and 3 stars on all the 150cc cups, and just started Portal 2 (albeit on my son’s xbox). I loved the first game so not really sure why I haven’t played this one before!

Guns of Fury! Guys, this one is a blast! A Metal Slug metroidvania that's totally polished and awesome gameplay wise. I wish it gained more interest in the media.

Who ever said they’d be playing Bug Fables this weekend has my respect.

@Serpenterror Waiting on my Retroid is killing me.
