Hello Everyone!

Didn’t get to play much this week. And haven’t really started anything new.

  • Played a few levels of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, not much though, still on the same water world.
  • Played Dragon Quest XI for couple of hours, going to continue playing that.
  • Reached High Rank in Monster Hunter: World but now I am stuck at Pink Rathian, maybe I need to improve my equipment, or maybe I should cave and fire that SOS flare.
  • Playing a bit of Brotato before sleep, if I am not tired. Finally cleared it once, now trying other characters and weapon combinations. A combination of guns has been working out great for me though. All guns, all different type, and focusing on increasing ranged attack.

That’s all from me, what about you guys? What have you been playing?

    This will be my first clear weekend for a while.

    I’ve been playing a BG3 campaign with my buddy when I got a few spare hours, so we’ll probably play that some this weekend.

    I’ve also been playing Thronefall. Great, simple tower defense RTS kinda game.

    Also been playing New Star GP. A retro style, arcadey Formula One game in a retro style similar to Virtua Racer from the devs that made Retro Bowl. It’s got a fun little career mode.

      How are you liking BG3? I have mentioned it few times, but I am really excited for the game, but still haven’t gotten around to playing the Divinity: Original Sin series, so have to play that first.

      Thronefall looks nice. Still in early access but Overwhelmingly Positive. I have added it to my wishlist, mainly to keep an eye on it if they ever release a console version.

      How’s New Star GP? I used to love older Need for Speed games, but haven’t played a racing game in a long time, at least none that I liked. If the feel of the cars, and career mode is good, can add it to my list.

        BG3 is great. So far I’m thinking it’s the best CRPG of all time. I’d recommend it over DoS 1&2, which is saying a LOT because DoS2 is amazing.

        Thronefall is a great, cozy game that still scratches my RTS itch.

        I think New Star is probably only going to work for specific people. It has the look of Virtua Racer, with old school arcadey car feel, in Formula One style races with a career mode based on managing your sponsorships, pit crew, and engineers, while upgrading your car. It’s absolutely nothing like NFS.

        I’d recommend it if you liked games like Rush and Cruis’n USA, and Formula One.

        If you’re looking for something like NFS, NFS Heat was pretty solid. Forza Horizon 5 would be another game you might enjoy. Project Cars 3 is another solid Arcadey racer. I mostly play Sim and Simcade racers, so I don’t have a lot of recommendations for arcadey racers.

          Ah, thanks for the feedback and recommendations.

          Yeah, from all I have seen BG 3 is much better than DoS 2, which is a lot better than DoS 1. So, since I want to play all the games, it makes sense to start from the worst game (which is still a really great game). 😀

              Oh yes! BG 1, 2, Icewindale 1 (and 2?). Played them all. Though don’t remember much of the story. Also, haven’t played anything modern. Not even Pillars of Eternity (though I did start it on PC once, but it didn’t work well on it).
