Playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. Not much new here, doing some side content while waiting for FrontNav minerals to give me what I need. Did some side quests, also finally found the dog, so was able to do tons of heart-to-heart.

Finally got the required mineral last night and went to start Chapter 7, when I realised I haven't surveyed Oblivia enough! facepalm I remember checking it before and was sure I meet the required number, so I either it read the requriement wrong or my survey percentage wrong.

Anyways, with Skell, it shouldn't take too long to do it. Also, got all my characters to level 30, so can buy Skells for them. Haven't done that yet though, will do it soon.

The Surge time was pretty productive, completed the third area, and got some good upgrades, then went back to second area (that's how the game flows), and now am stuck at the boss.

I am bit confused about this boss. It has two phases, I have gotten down first one now, can do it without losing much health, or sometimes, any health. The second phase has 4 robo-arms on the side walls, which keep attacking you when you are attacking the mail pillar / boss. You can destroy those 4 arms, but if kill the boss without destroying the arms, you get a very good weapon.

So, that's where I am stuck, I want to kill the boss without destroying those arms, to get that weapons, but I am not sure if I am good enough to keep track of 5 different things and attack the boss while dodging them. Going to try a few more times, if it didn't work out, will just destroy the arms.

Also got Street Fighter 6

I am more of a casual fighting game player, but still enjoy them every now and then, with a soft spot for Street Fighter and Soulcalibur games. So, just got it to play few rounds every now and then. Thinking about seeing if I can get anywhere in ranked, but not too concerned about it.

Ilandar mentioned PlanetSide 2 last week, and after looking it up, I wanted to give it a try. Plan to check it out over the weekend. I am not much of a MMO fan, so not sure how much I will actually play, but want to take a look.

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

Still enjoyable? Roughly how long is it?

The sequel is coming out this year, so have been thinking about playing it soon.

I think I spent around 12hrs on it? I did most of the side quests, but I missed one in the first town, since I didn’t know stuff is missable if you go too far ahead.

Overall it was enjoyable, but I quickly went from thinking “There’s only 6 towns? This game is going to end too quickly for me” to “This is feeling long” when I got halfway through.

I would have liked more variation in cards for battles as well, but as a small indie game it makes sense that they limited themselves.

I am curious about the next game and may get it. It looks like it’s switching game generes a bit with it being top down, but it looks more polished.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Oh ok. 10-12 hours is a good length for the game, but if even that starts feeling long that isn't very good.

I am still interested in the game, so will try to get it on sale.

[–] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

100% get it on sale, that’s when I got it. It feels like you’re in a Tim Burton world.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tim Burton reminds me, what are you thoughts on The Midnight Walk? Visuals look too weird for me, but that's another game with similar visuals.

[–] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Visually it looks great, but leans into the horror too much for me. When I was younger I was into a lot of the Resident Evil games, but I’ve since moved away from playing that kind of stuff.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Heh same here. Which is why I mentioned visuals look too weird. Same with Resident Evil etc. Played many horror games back then, including all RE upto 5, but then I realised I don't have to play a game just because it's famous. I don't like horror, so don't have to play those.

[–] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

The last game close to even “horrorish” I’ll probably play one day is Bioshock 2, since that’s the last one I have left.
