Finished both Chapter 7 and 8 in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.

Doing the available side and affinity quests and Heart-to-Hearts now. I meet the requirements for Chapter 9, but am same level as recommended level (Level 33), and I prefer to couple of levels higher than the recommended level, so may do more surveying, after completing the available side quests.

Beat the boss in The Surge using the difficult way and got the better version of the weapon.

Went to next area, cleared that, went back to second area (3rd visit now! And I think the last required one), then went to next area, did some stuff, and now at the next boss!

I think it's the second last boss, but I can be wrong. Would be trying to beat this boss, and reach the final boss over the weekend, let's hope I don't get stuck.

I couldn't play PlanetSide 2 over the weekend, so during the week, just took out some time to give it a try.

I use Linux, and I had already looked it up, it runs without any issue on Linux (using Steam Proton). So, started the game, it asked me to create an account first, something I find pretty annoying, but since I was on computer, it wasn't too big of a deal, made an account, verified the account, and then tried to run it again.

Got the Live play NOT_ENTITLED error, some people mentioned that if you install game in non-default location you get that, things like that, finally turned out, you get that when installing from Steam, so first have to download from site and sign in, after that it will work fine with steam.

So, downloaded the setup file from the site, but while I use Proton, I don't have wine installed, and didn't want to install it either, so tried running it with Proton for a bit, but it didn't work, so I just gave up.

Will give it a try, if it comes to console one day. Otherwise, don't care about it anymore.

Also played some Streets of Rage 4 . What a great game. Even better than Shredder's Revenge, IMO. Played solo, have the reached the last stage, if the map on loading screen is to be believed.

Will play again with my kid.

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

Finished Xenoblade X!

The extra content from the DE went into a very different direction than I expected. It was cool having a new area to explore, though not having the minimap available during that part sucked.

Chapter 13 and Ending discussion

I wasn't expecting them blowing up Mira and running away to a new planet. At least it's a good sequel hook, so lets hope XCX2 is announced in the next few years.

Overall I think the extra content suffers from the that fact that Al takes Elma's role as the main "lead" for that section, but since he joins extremely late in the game there's not enough time to get attached to him.

About the final battle... not much to comment because Ares 90 did its thing and one-shotted the boss. 😆

Final boss comments

Well, the first form of the boss at least. It was amusing to use the Ares Prime for the second part of the boss after so much hype and feeling very underwhelmed because I already had something far more broken.

Also, I seriously can't believe that they didn't give you a certain character back even as post-game bonus.

Playing Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land

Not sure it was a good idea to start another big open-world JRPG after 90h of Xenoblade X, but here we are.

Yumia is a cutie, and it's pissing me off seeing some of the NPCs discriminating against her due to alchemy having a bad name in this world. Which is also a surprising plot point since these games tend to be all positive and wholesome, though I don't imagine this negativity will last long.

I'm still early in the game (just cleared the lighthouse) so I'll refer to my comments from the the demo for more impressions.

Ooh, cool, though not going to read the spoilers yet. Will get back to them after finishing the game, so maybe in a few months 😀

I really liked Atelier Ryza, but it wasn't what I was expecting. How is the gameplay of Yumia compared to Ryza?

How is the gameplay of Yumia compared to Ryza?

It's way more open-world, clearly taking inspiration from BOTW and similar games. Battle system is similar to Ryza's but even more fast-paced, and also includes more action elements like positioning and dodges.

Definitely recommend the Demo if you want to have an idea what the game is like.

Okay, will check it out.

BTW, I think you forgot to unpin the previous thread and pin this one.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Heh, you are right. Fixed.

Thanks!
