Switch 2 is here! Well, not mine, but in general. Should be getting mine soon though. How many of you have gotten it already? And how are you liking it so far?
Finished Chatper 9 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition ! I was expecting this to happen in the story, it was kinda predictable. Still, interesting to see.
Got the flight module after that, and now I can fly everywhere! Completed FrontNav of Noctilum, and now just running around doing affinity missions so that I can be couple of levels above the recommended level to start the next chapter.
Played a good amount of Marvel's Midnight Suns. It seems to me that I am spending lots of time in the Abbey, instead of doing the fighting. Not that abbey parts are boring. It's interesting to see the super-hero drama. There's tons of dialogue. I think I am on day 7 or 8, so not too long in grand scheme of things but haven't heard a single repeated line, IIRC.
Trying to most of the side missions before continuing with the main missions, so this will probably take a long while to finish. I am around level 7 now, and have unlocked lots of abbey areas.
Characters unlocked
I have unlocked Spider-man, and the next main mission is with Dead Pool, and I am assuming will unlock him. Also have some locked missions with some other new characters like Morbius.
Also started Ghost of Tsushima.
I originally played it a while back on PS+ Extra, but then my sub expired when I was just about 10-15 hours in. So bought it on on-going sale and downloaded it when I was near the end of The Surge, but when I finished it, I didn't want to start another melee action game right away, so went with Marvel's Midnight Suns.
Then my kid started playing Ghost of Tsushima Legends (MP part of the game), and I saw him playing it and got the itch to play it myself. And here I am.
I am apparently in the start of Act 2, but was hadn't done any main mission yet and was clearing the first area, so continued with that and have completely liberated the firs area now. Going to start on the main mission in second area now.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
I was so busy I forgot to write!
After successfully camping Wednesday for a Switch 2, I went into school for the last day for teachers and played the board games Dwellings of Eldervale and Dominion.
For the weekend, I casually played Mario Kart World. I love how the races are not just laps around a track! The highlight was playing with my two children Friday on Knockout Mode and playing with the older kid and my wife on Sunday. (“You let me win” she kept saying as I found almost every way to fall off every track. My 3rd, 4th, 4th, 2nd was the best I could do!)
I also bought Picross S 8 and I just realized I am a little more than halfway finished. Those are the easier puzzles, though. Lots more podcast and zone out time ahead.
The biggest news is that I completed chapter 12 of Xenoblade Chronicles! From what I understand, this was about where the Wii U game ended? I also dove into chapter 13, act 1 because the story is too much to put down. I’m hoping I’ll wrap everything up before July so o can start my first physical Switch 2 game: Bravely Default Remaster.
Tsk tsk. It's your first time so letting this slide, but this shouldn't happen again Mr. Deutsch!
Dominion is our house favourite. We eventually got one expansion but just the base game has been played dozens if not hundreds of time.
How are you liking Mario Kart World? sdcSpace commented below (or above, however you have the comments sorted) about not being a fan of Grand Prix format. Have you tried that yet? And most importantly, did you really let her win? 😀
I am still at Picross S5, I usually play them semi regularly, but haven't opened it even once since I started Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Ah so Chapter 13 is new content? And is that the last chapter or there is more after that?
I said it out loud so that she would know I hadn’t let her win, but she doesn’t believe me. She’s not too shabby; in contrast, my kart skills are slightly more shabby.
Chapter 13 has multiple parts and I remember seeing it pop up as squad members reached the achievement. I don’t know where I heard it was the extra definitive edition stuff. Maybe from our other friend who plays the game (I can’t remember their username right now).
Hehe, that used to be me and my wife in Tetris. Now she accepts that she is much better than me 😀
Let me summon my friend @Phelpssan@lemmy.world for the Xenoblade question. Is the Chapter 13 new content for the DE?
Yes, the ending for the WiiU version is what you see after Chapter 12.
Oooh, interesting.
