Hey,

So, I forgot to post the new thread this week. Life is just keeping me pretty busy these days.

I did start Paper Mario though. The one in NSO. And have been thinking about resuming my Fire Emblem: Three Houses play through, but haven’t done anything with it yet.

So, what about you all. What have you all been playing?

    I’ve been tediously grinding on Pokémon Scarlet for a Kingambit (Bisharp evolution) for days because I didn’t read the conditions thoroughly online.

    Like a dingDong. An absolute buffoon. Maybe now I can finally get to the DLC. 😬

      Nice.

      Yeah, Boundless Trails looks pretty good. I’ve added it to my wishlist, but it will be probably be years by the time I get around to it. 😀

    I’ve been obsessed with gloomhaven since it was released on the switch. Sure it has a lot of UI issues and absolutely devours my switch’s battery life but it really scratches a heavy strategy itch in my brain. It is a very difficult game but with every failed “run” you keep all the gold and experience you gained so even failing a scenario helps progress you towards leveling up and being able to buy new items to help you in future endeavors. Every win I have eked out has felt really hard won and rewarding because of that.

      I have been getting interested in actual board-game Gloomhaven, but have to convince a few people to try it, before I actually buy it.

      If you have played the board game, how is it compared to that? And are you playing solo or with friends?

        I’ve never played the board game because a) it’s pretty pricey and b) I don’t have a consistent group to play it with. I also do love digital adaptations of epic board games because it makes managing turns, cards, health etc way easier. That being said, this port of Gloomhaven is clearly very taxing on the aged hardware of the switch. I’m sure the PC version of the digital adaption runs better/faster/prettier etc. I’ve been playing by myself and despite all my complaints about the switch version, still thoroughly enjoying it.

          Yeah, it is pretty pricey, otherwise I would have just bought it and then seen if anyone wants to play or not.

          I also don’t have a consistent group. Actually don’t even have a proper group, but it’s my dream to entrap some people with addicting games, so that we can have regular game nights. One day… 😈

    Kingdoms of Amalur Re:Reckoning. I like it so far, 22 house in. Storytelling is good an the scenery looks amazing!

      Ooooh, I played the original one, on PS3, IIRC. The game was really fun, and I loved the fact that you could easily respec.

      Mage class is super over-powered, specially the meteor spell. If you want any semblance of challenge left in the game, don’t use that. I liked being OP though, so that was my opening attack in each fight. 😀

    I want back to blasphemous 2. Almost done with it. I am stuck at an extremely hard boss which is second to last. I just a bunch of side stuff before finding the courage to fight him again. If I finish ir any time soon I’ll probably go back to xenoblade chronicles 3

      Where does this game lie in all the games there are. 😀

      All (I think) Kingdom Hearts games are on PS+ Extra, so want to get to them sometime soon.

    On the Switch nothing but did start playing the new EA FC game on the PS5. Honestly with MLB season ending / playoffs starting, the NFL in full swing and the EPL not on another break I am probably more focused on watching sports right now.

      How are you liking the new EA FC game? Is it just Fifa 24 with different name, or did they change up a few things to go with the new name?

      Also, just curious, do you buy these sports games every year? And how do you play them?
