Finished Octopath Traveler finally on my 2nd playthrough. My switch originally completely died right before I finished it (grinding between finishing all the characters stories and doing the true end game) the first time through so it was nice to finally get the real ending. Didn't like it as much the second time through honestly, the story and whole progression of the game just don't do it for me, but the battles and gameplay are still choice. Please give me new Chrono in this engine with these systems and a touch of refinement NAO.

Started playing Edge of Eternity. Enjoying it so far, but I'm barely into the game. Lots of potential for the battle system here. Seems like it will end up relying a lot on elements and statuses and it has a very basic movement grid where positioning can matter at times. Interested in seeing how it develops as the challenge increases and I get access to more abilities and characters. Think of it kinda like turn based tactics-lite w/atb and you'll have a good idea.

Graphics are pretty in a xenoblade way. Very similar looking in fact with some wild environments at times. Can def tell its made by a small team though because some of the animations get a little jank at time, especially in the distance. Sound is surprisingly great so far. Can't really tell you much about the story quality yet because I don't know much, but from the opening it seems like it may be fairly cliche. We'll see if some plot twists develop to set it apart.

Fired up Battlefield 2042 again for the first time since they dropped the first season. It ends in 4 days.


The shittiest thing is that without cross-play, it is nearly impossible to get into games with other people. Naturally, KBM will dominate controllers without even needing to try, doesn't make things very fun.


So I played bot rounds. The bots on harder difficulty are FUCKING INSANE. Can't remember the names of the difficulties, but going from "normal" to "medium/hard" is a HUGE difference.


Anyway, the reworked maps are actually excellent. There is more cover, it actually looks like a war zone, etc. Before, sight lines were so long, 85% of team comps were snipers.


The drip feed of reworking maps will not result in bringing back a decent player base at all. In addition, at the start of season 3, they are going back to the dedicated class system that makes Battlefield great. Specialists will still exist, but will be listed as a certain class, with gadget restrictions based on class. Finally. But that's the future. They are continuing to re-work maps, but at a slower pace.


The player base on console is nearly non-existent. At least there's bots I guess.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 fell victim to the same fate as my original Octopath playthrough: My switch died. Feel upset at myself for not getting around to playing it until now. So good. Forgot how much I love Xenoblade in general.

Kinda makes me wish Id have gotten the definitive edition of part 1 and played that again but these games are massive time investments for completionists. Not gonna go through that again before the other 2+Torna, although I do feel kinda bummed about missing what I think is a new DLC for the DE of part 1 that connects the games or something more, I dunno.

Yeah, Drave. I'm about to do the same. Been having the itch for a while and now I'm ready to scratch.

The add-ons are on sale at a good price and I think I'm just going to grab them all. Fire it up, see where my Ghost drops me and take it from there. Kinda hoping my Sparrows and Ships haven't been sent to the antique shop.

Witch queen is excellent. Both from a narrative standpoint, and the fact that theres none of the usal filler missions. Legendary difficulty adds more replay value to it as well. Hoping they add legendary versions of Shadowkeep and Beyond light as well. New smg exotic is loads of fun. Crafting is pretty cool. Only select weapons you can craft, but you can make god rolls for them, some are crazy good.

New pirate themed season is fun too. Loads of ads, and its utter chaos at times.

I mean I just started chapter 6 of XB2 and I'm approaching 130. Mind you a lot of that rn is downtime and mindless farming and working on affinities while running out merc mission timers. I am obscenely overpowered for the story at this point because of this. I happened across a godly weapon chip off an enemy earlier and I am now trying to farm enough for everyone because bonuses stack. I can't imagine how ridic I'm gonna be when I get everyone equipped with these lol.

Yeah I'm about 20-25 over rn in 2. Was wondering why they told me I didnt have to spend the bonus xp at the Inn if I didnt want to in the beginning lol. Ah well, hindsight. Either way now I'll just see how obscenely OP I can get.

Yep. Downloaded Destiny 2. Grabbed all the expansions. I'm working backwards.

Started it up the first time. Did the intro mission for The Witch Queen on hard difficulty. Bad decision.

Took a break. Had dinner. Fired it up again. Did the intro mission for Beyond Light.

Too much new stuff to learn. But I'll slowly figure it out.

Well shit at least you're going to have a lot of content to dig into. I still have to unlock all the fragments for stasis. Seems a bit grondy so Im glad they didnt take a similar route with the 3.0 stuff.

Season of Plunder is even better than I initially thought. Theres several new activities instead of just one, and the weapons are badass. Exotic is kinda boring though.

It is. I was running around with no aux cores and turrible accessories and didn't even notice just because of the raw power difference.

I just got done grinding Tiger! Tiger! for what must be the last 10-12 hrs of gameplay. There is only one rare drop out of stage 5 that I am missing (Double Attack 3 I believe, maybe 2, I dunno, the good one) and Poppi is now a monster. Especially Waifu Poppi. Guess I should probably get around to going to the world tree at some point.

I've been trying to sort how the EFF I'd ever be able to play Battlefield 2042 again, as lobbies are always empty on console.


Saw a user post somewhere to "download the previous gen" version and I did just that.






Mind blown. Insta-full games and bah gawd, it's not terrible.

No, just last gen software on new gen hardware. The differences are negligible enough that I had a damn good time in 2042 for the first time yesterday, for nearly 3 hours.

Man Torna: The Golden Country really refined the XC2 experience. They just about completely addressed every issue from the base game, but most importantly, the pacing. Love the whole game but this DLC is peak. And while I do miss having 3 blades engaged at a time, the way they changed the switching mechanic is so much better.

In terms of base game, I have beaten the story and other than a couple super bosses and completing affinity charts, I am pretty much done. Decided to break up the farming by jumping into Torna...which I am now just short of the final boss and farming super bosses here to try and get to the level 100 one before I finish the campaign and prepare to move on to XC3.

In regards to how to good Torna is: Even though I love the XC series as is, if they decided to stop making the huge games every 5 years and instead more frequently release shorter but still complete experiences like Torna I would be all for it. Feel like they could actually use the format to tell a lot of stories within the overall universe to flesh it out. Like do one that leads up to the "final battle" before the world is destroyed and recreated prior to the current games. Show us how the whole situation came to be in the first place (assuming they don't do this in 3 because I dunno yet). You could even do more in the pre-torna time with XC2, like a scenario about Addams dad and uncle and Amalthus when he first awakens Malos and the war with Coeia starts. You never get to see that Titan so theres another new environment there until it gets obliterated in the opening of Torna.

One of the creators said they aren't done with the Xeno series and actually have a lot planned. Makes me wonder if they will try to tie it more to the Saga/Blade entries?

Well if you are saying XC3 is better than Torna then color me hyped. Finished that last night btw. Just an awesome experience.

Ripped XC3 from the switch to my PC and have set up a bunch of mods to make it run faster with more graphical flourishes. Can't wait to dig in tonight.

Btw, dunno if you have a beefy PC, but ripping your switch games to PC makes the vast majority of them so much better. I mainly do it so the kids can carry on with the switch and I can play my games without the fear of them wrecking/deleting them or having to fight with them over playtime.

A good example is Metroid: Dread. That game was a vastly superior experience in 4k/60fps with 16x AA filtering.

Its not entirely without issues on the very high end of titles, XC3 being about the peak of the switch pyramid rn. Makes emulating it more difficult because of random programming tricks the devs use to squeeze out every extra drop of power. I get some rare texture flickering in very small spots, things like that. But when I've changed the depth of field, upgraded the textures in general, have superior lighting enabled and its run smooth at 60fps in a much higher resolution, well...yeah Ill have my occasional graphical bug and be happy about it.

I used to love the switch. That was before my 2 youngest both gold old enough to join the fray over it. I don't want no part of that lol. They can sus it out, I'll just the old busted switch (screen is borked) to run a hacked OS so I can rip my carts to the PC and play in peace lol.

lol getting rid of the item harvesting animations and all the field skill stuff (at least so far) is such a great QoL improvement that it alone makes this better than XC2.
