Last weekend before Switch 2 release! How many of you have pre-ordered? Hope you all get it on launch day or as soon after it as possible!

Started Chatper 9 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition but got stuck, I was at recommended level, but you can't use Skells during the fight, and it's kinda tough one. I also went with characters with low class levels, so grinding a bit to level up.

Finished The Surge!

The game took a bit getting into, but once I did, it was a really enjoyable game. The games isn't too difficult, and while I died more than a dozen (more than a couple dozen) but they all felt my faults, like I knew what to do, just wasn't skilled enough to do that. If there was an easy mode, I would've switched to that and just finished the game, but as it is, took 3 days to finally beat it.

Started Marvel's Midnight Suns. I am only at the beginning and have done just the first mission after creating the character, so not much to say, but it feels really good for now. As a turn based tactics game, it would've been perfect on the Switch.

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

Which Doom? The original one? Or the latest one?

Good luck for getting it on launch day!

[–] six_arm_spider_man@reddthat.com 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Latest, Doom: The Dark Age. It really makes me want to do a revisit of Doom 2016, but ain't nobody got time for that.

I was trying to get Aliens: Dark Descent wrapped up before Doom released, but didn't quite make it. So that's still sitting unfinished...

Ah, nice!

How did you like Dark Descent? It's also on my wishlist and I think I got it from PS+ monthly games too.

It's cool, but hard. Some neat mechanisms I haven't run across in this style of game before, like controlling the squad as a single unit.

All my decent soldiers are injured, so I've been trying to complete a mission with all rookies. And it's not going well.

That sound weird, might be fine when actually playing it.

Yeah, that was my big problem with X-Com too, even when trying to train many people, sometimes there comes a time when all good soldiers are injured.
