Witcher 3 | playing on “just the story” for now as I don’t much care for the combat, I’m just here for the story, voice acting, choices & vibes.
Sekiro | trying to get gud, I really like this game. I’m to where I can eviscerate everything that’s not a mini-boss, so that’s cute. Long way to go before I can master bosses & mini-bosses, but I’m looking forward to the challenge.

Replaying Nier Automata on the PS5 so I can finally experience the game at a stable 60 fps.
Still working my way through Chained Echoes on Switch with Metroid Prime Remastered in the Bullpen.
I haven't had a lot of time to play games in the last two weeks, working, parenting, and husbanding have all taken more time than usual recently and there hasn't been much time for games. I got a bonus at work and I decided to get a game with some of the money but haven't decided which one yet. Either Resident Evil 4 Remake or Fire Emblem Engage.

Just got to Mor Ardain in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Really digging the combat system which is super fun to mess around with. Also still positively surprised by the stories and characters. From trailers and previews, Rex in particular seemed super obnoxious, but I'll digress that he (and most of the cast) is quite well written. Could do without some of the tropes, but that's also part of the charm.
Although having had a lot more time with the game, the UI and menus feel quite dated. No menu for tutorials (although having to "buy" and ask around for them is quite a novel idea), no in-game information on the effects of blade specials or blade combos, no stat explanations (that I've found). It's interesting having played the remake of 1 first, it feels like they learned a lot from 2 that they put back into 1. Makes me very excited to see what 3 is like.
Should be getting Octopath Traveler 2 in the mail today (with the nice looking Steelbook). Not sure when I'll get into that, but it goes into the collection. Think I might do Demon's Souls on PS5 first, after Xenoblade and finishing my second Elden Ring run.

You are doing the right thing. There are many references in Yakuza 0 to the previous games that you'll miss if you play that one first.

They missed the 80s vibe with it big-time in terms of the music, otherwise it could have been Vice-City meets Yakuza...

Trying to give this game another chance then I run into Lu Bu. A ten minute boss fight where I can get one shot just isn't very fun.
Edit: Finally beat him. Had some really annoying deaths that felt unfair. Had an attempt where I was maybe three hits away from killing him, but I got a 'disconnected from network' error just as he was about to do a critical move. Ugh.

Into the hospital now. Same place the lead dev at Team Ninja is heading.

Started playing Prey (2017) on PC. Already played a bit of it when it came out on PS4, but ended up dropping it because of the performance and controls.
I'm enjoying it a lot, the mimics got me paranoid 90% of the time, which is great. Game feels like playing a match of Garry's Mod's Prop Hunt, and I love that.
I'm also loving the aesthetics of the Talos I, it has a nice visual design which maybe reminds me a bit too much of Bioshock, but whatever, still cool.

Prey is so awesome! I played it on the base PS4 a few years back and despite horrendous load times and mid performance I was completely infatuated with it. I wish they'd give it a performance update for PS5 since I'd really like to replay it but I've heard it doesn't run much better as of now. I guess the chances of that are slim with ZeniMax being under Microsoft now... But in any case, amazing game and probably my favorite from Arkane.
If you haven't already noticed you can do some pretty wild stuff with the Gloo Gun, so abuse the shit out of it. The game also has a really fun rogue-like-esque DLC, I'd recommend checking that out if you're looking for more after you are done with the base game. It's completely separate from the main game, so don't worry about missing anything in the main game if you don't already have it.

Would be great, The game BTW runs at 60fps and 1440p looking very good on Series X via FPS Boost, played it about 2 years ago and had a blast.
Playing now Borderlands 3, the version with the 4 DLCs, bought it a year ago but didn't get the chance to play, it looks very sharp and runs great on PS5.

Finished Metroid Prime remaster. This game is as close to perfection as a game can be. The only criticism I have is the hunt for Chozo Artifacts, which gets kinda tedious at the end. Everything else is so good. Nintendo is raising the bar with this remaster. Enhanced with beautiful graphics that stays true to the original, this game will live on for at least another 20 years. Gameplay holds up incredibly well, with great level design, top notch boss fights and kick ass music. A true classic and a legendary game. Hats off to Retro and Nintendo for bringing it up to such high standards. Can't wait for Prime 4 (and hopefully remastered Echoes and Corruption).

What time is it?
Wo Long - I'm up to the 3rd area boss with a buddy. Maybe the allure of Souls-like games is wearing thin with me, but I'm really not enjoying my time with it so far. It also feels like a really cheap/rushed effort.
TLOU2 - I'm early on my replay and I'm starting to remember all my niggles about the game, but boy oh boy is the game visually stunning.

It blows my mind thar River City Girls 1 is 60 fps and RCG2 is 30 fps! That's pathetic.

This might be the best looking game. I just wish it wasn’t so god damn boring. PS+ saving me another $40. I think I’m going to start Ratchet & Clank.

Yeah I really want to know what went wrong on with the development of this game. It shouldn't be running 30fps on any platform.

I tried going on VRChat
I skulked around for a few minutes before being surrounded by a bunch of people calling me a "bitch" and demanding I changed my avatar from the default
Good shit.

Fixed my OG OLED Vita and now I am replaying Odin Sphere again.
It's just shocking how much ahead of its time the Vita was, it was truly portable (Compared to the Steam deck and Switch I have) and delivered almost console like experience, so much possibility too bad Sony chose to abandon it.

You are playing two of my absolute favorite games!
For Witcher 3, try mix in heavy attacks and use more bombs, it gives more variation to the combat. Don't just spam light attack. The combat sort of gets better if you play on hard difficultly but of course it's up to you.
For Sekiro, the parry window actually increase by quite a lot if you press and hold the block for 1/2 a second instead of tapping it. You will more likely to get the deflect that way which makes the game a good bit easier.

I thought the presentation would be a lot better, but I'll play through its campaign mode then sell it.
*Looks up video of Wii version

Why didn't you go for native PC version? But yeah, the GC version is the best version of RE4.

The PSP version is nice to have, as, well, it's P3 on the go. But the presentation is way scaled down in comparison to the full version. And honestly, for me, the presentation of the Persona games is a big part of my enjoyment. Still, either way, it's a dungeon crawler, whether some folks want to acknowledge that fact or not. And if you ain't feeling in the mood for that, it's probably best to move on for now.

Metroid Dread is so fucking good. Love the fast paced nature, just running, shooting and parrying. The EMMI encounters and when you do manage to parry one you get an awesome feel. And the game runs like a dream and looks so good. One of the best looking 2D games for sure. I hope Mercury Steam continues with Metroid. They are doing a damn fine job so far. Love seeing this franchise getting so much love lately.

This one is next on my list
Right now, Im playing Elden Ring.
I took a break about half way through Persona 5. Im not sure I will ever beat it since I somehow managed to find spoilers while on a break; I saw an image when looking up someone's schedule, and then someone else made a cryptic post on /v/ and I put the pieces together. I fucking hate putting the pieces together.
