I picked up Cyberpunk on the Steam sale so I’m just starting that. Aside from that, I’m kind of casually working my way through Coromon, which so far isn’t great but it scratching the Pokemon-like itch well enough. That said, if other folks were looking for a Pokemon-like to try, I’d recommend Cassette Beast a hundred times over before recommending Coromon.
Most of it is fine. It has the typical console port molasses controls (especially when looking at objects).
The big thing that bothered me is the pretty obtuse interrogation system where I’ve resorted to looking at a guide towards the end (you always get the same three choices to respond with, “Truth”, “Doubt”, and “Lie”, with no indication of what your character will exactly say). This seems to be a common complaint, and apparently it got a bit improved in the remastered version which I don’t have.
I’m playing a fork of Cataclysm DDA called Cataclysm TLG.
it’s like the main project, but cooler and you are hungry. One of the coolest highlights include grabbing and throwing monsters around for a change. Usually it’s the other way around.
I tried but just could not figure out how to start CCDA and ended up deleting the game. Disappointing. Its tutorial/guidance is just so severely lacking.
I’ve been deep into Persona 5 Royal for weeks now. I’m now on the home stretch to the final big boss battle, and it has been awesome. I’ve put something like 75 hours into it. I’m going to miss it when I’m done, but I do also have Persona 4 Golden sitting and waiting for its turn. I played Persona 3 ReLoad last year and that was my first Persona experience, and totally got me hooked.
I just finished Dark Souls III. Beat Gael in 5 attempts I think, which I was pretty proud of. Still haven’t killed Midir yet but I’m putting that on hold for a while. I just started a playthrough of Pokémon Emerald with my wife, who has never played a Pokémon game before but grew up with the trading cards and the show. I was the opposite, growing up with the games but never got much into the cards or show. We’ve got a little one on the way so we might introduce him/her to Pokémon when they’re old enough, so she wants to have an understanding of it first
Not a lot, been sick off and on all week, but got in a little try of the Aviassembly demo, that was fun. Also some BG3 and Factorio with friends, and I’ve been loving the Icaria demo.
Going super old school - Chrono Trigger. Finally picked it up on Steam since $3.75 is cheap enough I’d pay for the convenience to not use an emulator. I figure buying it 3 times is enough for one life.
Got into Old World.
I have zero planning and just roll with it, which led me to start a war against Egypt with my 4 elephants and several axemen thinking i was hot stuff.
Egypt had 3 onangers nested on hills, a dozen pikemen and a random ballista.
I was annihilated from the militaristic point of view.
Still won the match through ambitions though since they happened to be a match with what I still had going for me.
I was annoyed though. They were doing 8-10hp damage per hit at times and i was only doing 3. My small army went from hot to not in only a few turns and i couldn’t figure out why. Turns out i just suck at it.
Anyway, if you’ve played Civilization, you’ll easily see the influence. The card and character randomness can be fun or frustrating and you might find yourself wondering at times why your resources aren’t growing as high as you were expecting them to. Better watch for that discontent!
I only have the base game so no comment on the DLCs.
Turtle WoW, a private WoW Vanilla plus server. I love this game. I’ve encountered kind people, made friends, and explored the world, lore, and stories.
Even when I have nothing else to do, just cozy fishing is great.
I had good times on WoW for a long time, and a good time on a private UO server for awhile… Maybe I should look into a private WoW server. Blizzard (as it is today) is a shithole I don’t want to give more money, but my love for WoW as a property is undeniable.
Got burned out on Owlcat games. Really enjoyed Pathfinder: Kingmaker but thought it was almost there in some areas, and kept hearing people say Wrath of the Righteous was better. Got through maybe half of the latter and can’t say I agree as of yet. But I’m having to put it down for now, thinking I jumped back in to a CRPG too soon. The encounter density is just too much for me, and I might have to put the crusade management on auto next time I pick it up.
Grabbed Final Fantasy XVI instead. It’s a nice change of pace, really enjoying it so far.

Oalworld just had an update
L.A. Noire and Persona 5! Both games I started over a year ago, then stopped playing and finally finishing them now haha
Among games with a fixed narrative, Persona 5 Royal is still the longest game I’ve ever played.
Very likely for me too. My save file is at just over 100 hours right now.
How’s LA noire gameplay holding up?

Still very enjoyable despite this, imo.
Thanks for sharing!
33 Immortals just dropped

I’m trying to platinum Snowrunner. I’m currently in Amur, which is one of the hardest maps and it’s the last map in the Y1 DLC pack
