Finished Chapter 3 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. I was trying to do the side missions before going for the story mission but had very high level enemies around, so after trying that for a while, went for the main mission.

Have just started chapter 4. Going to explore and do the side content now.

Also played some Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Game is progressing well, but I think I'll get tried or bored of it. Just not feeling much enjoyment playing it.

I shared most of my feelings a few back, but one annoying aspect I missed was loot system. Each companion has their own loot, which I find a bit annoying. In DA: Inquisition, I played as fighter, but any non-fighter equipment, or light / medium armor I had, I equipped it to my companions, even heavy armor that I wasn't wearing went to them, same with weapons. But now all that extra loot is useless. Feels very restrictive in an RPG, and it made me lose interest in loot quickly enough.

Well, that's about me, what about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

How are you enjoying Xenoblades Chronicles X? I thought of getting it, but I played it on the Wii U, and I have too many good Switch games to play, so I didn't double dip.

I've been playing Star Overdrive, which I talked about here. I need to get back to Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story and eventually start Tetris Forever. I got the physical version, but I know once I start it, it'll be the only game I play for a while 😅 I love the Digital Eclipse interactive documentary format!

I played a bit of The Mortuary Assistant recently. It's scary but quite clunky and sort of boring in parts. I'll give it another chance soon, potentially this weekend.

I am loving it, though I have played for only about 7 hours (going by the save) so can't say much about it. Main story is pretty interesting, so want to see how this develops.

I love the Digital Eclipse interactive documentary format!

I forgot, did you also play The Making of Karateka? How did you like it?

That's cool! And it gets cooler when you get a Skell!

I haven't played the Making of Karateka. I think I'd really enjoy it too, but I decided I had to miss at least one (I can't afford all the games I want to play both in money and time 😄).

I can’t afford all the games I want to play both in money and time 😄

Haha, isn't that true for all of us? Well, at least most of us. That's why being a patient game help so much, get most games for very low price, and also why I have become very liberal with dropping off games I am not enjoying too much. Too many games, too little time.
