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?
I’ve gone full iPhone for all the retro stuff. Along with a backbone remote.
How's backbone? They have an android version too, and it looks pretty good. Pretty expensive though.
I would not recommend it to someone. My wife bought it for me two christmases ago. The buttons are very loud (loudest controller of any kind I’ve ever seen) and you need a subscription if you want to remap the buttons. Aside from the super clicky buttons, the build is overall pretty good, but I think the app for it seems predatory.
I’m hoping the MCON does well when it’s finally out.
MCON looks pretty slick, but would wait for the reviews.
And thanks for the review!
