Hello to my fellow Americans, hope you are making the most of your long weekend. I finished my BG3 playthrough as "The Dark Urge". I think the Urge origin character is a very fun playthrough, and enhances the story a bit because now your character is intertwined with the main villians, rather than just some guy who happened to also be on the Nautaloid. I also used this playthrough to experiment with different playstyles, and I gotta say, having 2 paladins in your party is OP. Hope everyone is having a safe weekend
Picked up Crosscode again
As I remember it, super fucking polished and smooth on Steam Deck. Gonna finish it this time! In the early hours, haven't been gaming much this week, instead read Piranesi (loved it).
I ran into a weird issue on the steam deck where aiming gets stuck pointing northeast if you circle it around. Was so annoying I put it down until it gets fixed.
I know! I loved the inqusitiveness of the protagonist, and the mystery was really well-paced!
Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis :3
Ogre makes me so fucking happy and I could play it forever. Still absolutely ecstatic that they made a smol one for GBA.
I'm not american and I always forget that yanks don't celebrate it in May like everyone else does
Finished the Ashlands in Valheim this weekend, gotta go back and finish CrossCode
I deleted all of my games because I found them too addictive. RIP the gaming era.
Final Fantasy 15 comrades dlc. It's like monster hunter for babies. I totally understand why I'm the lone, singular player on the entire global server at all times. If it weren't for the ffxv lore, I wouldn't be playing it either.
I'm trying to help a partner with some maplestory quest (I've never played this game) and it's going terribly
May play a little Valorant later
Nothing because I'm too tired
Prior to this though I did some more Victoria bullshit, trying to get the "betray two allies as Italy" achievement but nobody will go to war and it's 1910...
Also tried out Vampire Survivors coop which is exactly as batshit as you'd think. Steam Remote Play's bitrate can NOT keep up.
Team Fortress 2, Balatro, and Super Mario Eclipse (Sunshine romhack)
Come back to finish off lords of the fallen. The game has some pretty major flaws but its still very enjoyable. Got this cool armor that reminds me of the Loyce Knights from ds2.
Show
3/4 of the way through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Mostly in a cycle of becoming BFFs with my party members, grinding a few levels, then advancing the story for the next batch of new wild shit to do, which usually includes new buddies. Definitely hitting the part of the JRPG arc where just "hit harder" is no longer sufficient and I'm doing a lot more buff/debuff setup to keep fights manageable.
Oh interesting, 7 was very much beatable with just mashing basic attack, which was a large part of why I didn't enjoy it.
I've been playing Black Myth Wukong. I'm really enjoying it so far. All those years of soulslike's have trained me for this. I really really like the dodge system in this game as it heavily rewards you for doing it "perfect". The setting and lore are absolutely amazing and the vibes are simply incredible.
