My schedule is a bit messed up, so don’t have much game time. Just played a bit on weekend.
Started God of War: Ragnarok. With the next game coming out in January, it’s the perfect time to catch up to the series.
I have only played a few hours, but having fun with it. Combat feels a bit less exciting than the first one, probably cause it’s just more of the same. The novelty and feel of summoning back the axe, which I absolutely loved in the first game, has worn off. It’s still fun, just not as fun. The story is interesting though, and looking forward to how things go.
Played couple more “days” of Pikmin 1. I have cleared the first two areas completely now, and just have two items remaining in the third area. Should be done in a day. Haven’t visited the fourth area yet, will go there after getting both these items.
All other games are paused at the moment.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
In my short time researching the XC series I also heard that XC3 was the best, but also that XC2 was the worst. So your ranking of XCX last is a bit surprising to me, but I obviously have no reference frame. I’ll let you know in next week’s thread how I’m liking the game.
I hadn’t thought of reselling FE. Honestly I’ve never actually sold anything online. I either keep stuff or yeet it. The one exception was my previous Switch but only because a friend of the family was interested in it. My mom’s quite anxious about getting scammed. Will try to convince her tho.
Silly me tho, buys physical games for the benefits of physical games; forgets about them immediately xD
Edit: It’s a no go. Mom says we’ll never sell on ebay, especially since you can never tell what type of asshole you sell to (her words). Sadge.
So, the structure of XCX is different from the other Xenoblade games. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just different, and those who like that difference love the game.
I may have ranked it much higher if I had played the game after playing just one game in the series (how it was originally released), but after playing 3 games this just wasn’t what I wanted from a Xenoblade game. It’s possible if you play other XC games after this you won’t like them as much because they aren’t like XCX.
Still, even as my least favourite in the series, it’s still a very good game. My least favourite game in one of my favourite series still ranks above most other games for me.
Yeah I’ve heard that XCX was different from the numbered entries. But it’s good to hear that the XC series is one of your favorites. Don’t think I’ll get around to trying one of the numbered entries this year tho. Also, holy fuck how is it October already wtf? Where does time go? Months go by so freaking fast this year. And that even tho I’ve been unemployed since March and just boyrotting on my PC the entire time :D
