Not much change from last week. Playing:
Borderlands 3 , my main PS game. It is really fun, story isn’t anything extraordinary but the gameplay is very enjoyable, so enjoying that. May go for a platinum, but not sure yet, depends if I am feeling same by the time I finish the game.
Horizon Chase Turbo is still in my “currently playing” list but no progress this week.
Hades is my primary switch game right now. It was going pretty good but now I am stuck at boss of region 3. In my last run, I was pretty OP and reached the boss with all my health and lives intact, still couldn’t kill it.
This is what I don’t like about roguelikes, if you die you have to start all over again, and you don’t always get great runs. Hades is pretty good in this regard as no run feel too bad, and you progressively get better and better, but still, getting stuck somewhere and then play the whole game to reach there just to die again and again can become annoying, and most of the times I don’t even reach that boss in the perfect condition.
Valkyria Chronicles, same as Horizon Chase Turbo, still playing it, but not progress this week.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
Lots of people buy Switch just for first party, but many third party games, specially indies, sell pretty well on Nintendo. So people are buying those.
As for AAA third party games, can’t tell you the numbers, but they must be selling something if Switch keep getting them (of course, we don’t get most of new ones due to how old and underpowered Switch is in relation to current gen, and it seems even old ones have slowed down now).
Personally, I get all my indies, RPGs and most other non-action heavy games on Switch (unless there are any performance issues in Switch port).
Either way, nothing wrong with any of these approaches. Gaming is entertainment, do it where and how you enjoy the most.
How are you liking Skyward Sword btw? I still have to get it.
It’s fun in many ways, like the puzzles and the items, but coming from “new” Zelda, it’s actually really tedious to have to backtrack to old areas when you get a new item that unlocks another part. It’s such a staple of old Zelda (and many other games), but now I’m sick of having to visit the same places over and over again. The joy cons also suck ass because of their inaccuracy and gyro drift, but using button input (like using pro controller) is equally terrible because it uses the right analogue for the sword.
