With all the Switch 2 hoopla, I forgot about the weekly thread.

This was also a busy week, as predicted, so didn’t get to do any gaming at all. Things should be getting back to normal though.

Plan to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard over the weekend, and then continue Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition from Monday.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    I’ve finally started Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and I’m really enjoying it. It’s a fun take on the standard Pokemon game, and I’m excited to see where it goes. I’ve almost completed the Scarlet DLC (just need 2 more group BBQs and the related legendaries), and I’ve been enjoying a bit of shiny hunting there, which isn’t something I’ve ever enjoyed in the past. I hear it’s even more fun in Legends: Arceus, which is very exciting.

    Probably spend way too much time playing Metaphor over the last week and I don’t plan on stopping. Shin Megami Tensei is one of the few franchises, along with Xenoblade and Dragon Quest, to always capture me like this. Metaphor isn’t a SMT game by name, but by heart it’s just Persona 6 - I highly recommend it.

    My friend keeps referencing a quote from Samurai Warriors (the first one, PS2 era) so on a lark I surprised her with a co-op session via parsec. Best musuo era, for sure, although that acting makes us both laugh. (I never played it, why is Nobunaga Oda a Japanese Darth Vader?!)

        Graphically, it’s a little silly in curscenes but everything else holds up except for a weird level up system. The combos and combat are somehow better than later games since it’s tougher and every enemy counts (polygon counts keep it from the comical amounts in later games where you attack once and like 50 people die). Every character gets a campaign with multiple endings, too, which is something I missed.

        The quote is Okuni’s “a dreeaaaam, an illusioooon~” monologue in her ending because the VA is uh… not great, and my friend does the voice spot on.
