Whatcha all playing!
I am continuing crow country and starting world of goo 2! Both great. Really loving world of goo so far. Can’t believe we got a sequel after so long 🥲
Them’s Fightin’ Herds - Glue Cup was short on commentators this week, so I volunteered to fill in. Been a long time since I’ve done proper commentary, honestly missed it a lot.
Mega Knockdown - Took 4th in the 2nd Anniversary bracket, and streamed top 4 on my own channel.
Kitsune Tails - Cute little platformer, but maybe a little too on the nose in just how much it copies from SMB3. I think they didn’t need to put Kuribo’s Shoe in there.
Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers - Liked the demo a lot, but my opinions are already a little more mixed on the full version. It has cool ideas, but it feels like there’s just not enough player agency, and a lot of ways to get stuck in stalemates. Maybe I need to give it a little more time to figure out strats I’m missing.
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - Casual practice, no cool clips worth sharing this week. Or maybe I just don’t feel like dumping my SD card right now.
Splatoon 3 - Also just practice sessions.
Slay the Spire - The usual.
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Running out of things to say here.
120 hours in and I’m still playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. I think I like it much better than Skyrim. The only thing I don’t like about it is the missing crosshair for bows, but a simple console command fixes that for me. I’ve not yet completed the main quest lol and there are still plenty of side quests to finish. It’s crazy how the studio pushed CryEngine of all things into this interesting RPG. Puts Bethesda to shame honestly.
Is it truly open-world? You can just go anywhere?
I’ve been thinking of trying it out.
Yes it is. It even has schedules for NPCs, activities to do, people reacting to your clothes or cleanliness, your hunger level or sleepiness, day night cycle, an interesting fast travel mechanism.
I also love their pickpocketing mini game.
Still playing Alan Wake 2 and it stays an amazing game. I’d think I’m close on ending the game though. Spoiler tagging just in case
Tap for spoiler
I already nearly finished Saga’s storyline, all I have to do is the ending story for her. However currently busy with Alan’s story side before finishing Saga’s.
I abandoned Hogwarts Legacy because after 4 hours, I found it immensely dull. The story is boring, the gameplay is boring and didn’t find the exploration satisfying.
More of the World of Warcraft Pre-Expansion Event. Like last week, I leveled a bunch of characters to max, just because it’s easy, even if they’ll never see the light of day again (until the next event like this).
Then, the new Diablo 4 season started, and in less than a week I’ve basically progressed as far as the whole of last season. I went with a Sorcerer this time, currently running a Chain Lightning build, and it’s a lot more fun than the Minion Necromancer last time. However, now I’m at the point where it’s not just easy upgrades all the time, but grinding for those drops to feel a real difference, so the honeymoon phase might end soon. The new season mechanic seems pretty neat, although I haven’t done a whole lot of it yet. It’s a pretty simple wave based mode in a small room, where you just get to slaughter tons of demons and a boss fight afterward. This mode has different tiers or difficulties, most of which I haven’t tried yet, so I don’t know how much things change, if at all, but considering I’ll probably only play another two weeks at most (until the Warcraft expansion release) I don’t see it getting old.
Paid a buck yesterday for this dinky, simple, but fun roguelike platformer called Caveblazers.
SUPER fun.
Only 99 cents.
