Finished Borderlands 3. Still have quite a few side quests left, but have played it enough. Was thinking about Platinum previously, but don’t want to play 20-30 more hours just for trophies. Maybe if it had a really good narrative, which it doesn’t.
Started Greedfall. It’s a AA-ish RPG by Spider. The world building is interesting, and story and quests aren’t bad. There are different factions and how you do the quest you can improve or worsen your relations with them. You can use stealth, or direct combat, or even talk your way through them.
Where I am currently, I haven’t gotten any quest that will improve my relation with faction at the cost of worsening it with another (though there were ones where I could choose different faction, and improve my relation with them), but I am still very early in the game.
The weakest part is the combat. You have 3 classes, and you can select upto 2 companions, all of who are of different factions and different classes. The combat itself isn’t that great though. While it is serviceable it would’ve been pretty much unacceptable if it was released today. Have played some 5-6 hours yet, so things may open up a more.
Reached Episode 4 of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All.
Episode 3/4 spoiler
It was really cool to see Edgeworth again. I mean I knew he wasn’t dead because there are games released after this one that has him, but still it was nice to see him again.
Didn’t get to play Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter last week, but will give it some time this one. On a related note, really excited about the remake! Still going to finish it, but going to play the remake too. Probably not at launch, but soon-ish.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
I played the beta and loved it, but haven’t been keeping up to date with any changes. Are the updates not good?
They made massive changes last season that improved the game considerably. It’s more like Diablo 3 now, but with updated graphics and gameplay. But this season they reworked the stat weighting on gear and rerolls, and it’s all sorts of fucked up. To make matters worse, the enchanter is like 15x more expensive this season than last season. So not only are you really unlikely to get the stat you’re fishing for, you’re pretty likely to go broke while trying. I stopped even trying to reroll for certain stats like cooldown reduction. There’s only a 1% chance I’ll get it, and it’s too expensive. Otherwise it’s still a really fun game, gearing is just more frustrating this season.
Hmm… hopefully by the time I get around to it, they would have figured out the most optimized settings. 😀
