Reached day 14 of Pikmin 1.
I was stuck on a particular place for couple of days cause I didn't realise you can take as many bombs as you want from the "cans". I thought you can only pick the ones that are outside.
A door needed 6 bombs but there were only 4 bombs outside, so had been trying to bring them from far away and having trouble with that. Later realised you can just throw in the Pikmin and they will go in and bring out a bomb. Still not sure if there are infinite bombs or there were just 2 extra hidden inside.
Cleared the third area but lost majority of my pikmin, so went back to first area for a day and "farmed" some pikmin, back to 100+ for all three types. Time to enter the fourth area next.
Played some more God of War: Ragnarok.
I have unlocked more skills so enjoying the combat more now. Blades of Chaos are also pretty fun to use. I didn't use them too much in the first game, and was ignoring them mostly here too, but having fun with them now.
The relationship between Kratos and Atreus has also changed. Atreus has reached the rebellious teenage phase, and apparently god teenagers aren't much different from human teenagers.
There are also many easter eggs, for instance you collect these poems throughout the game, and each poem is about a PlayStation franchise. I didn't realise that at first, thinking they are just random collectibles, but it became obvious after a few.
Looking forward to how the story progresses.
Finished Monster Hunter Wilds. Or at least saw the credits roll. The final monster Zoh Shia wasn't that difficult. The most difficult one had to be Rathalos. Rest weren't that bad.
There should still be a ton of game left, I think we have only covered a small part, but let's see.
It's also coming to Switch 2. I think Prologue Demo was just released or is about to release in a few days. Right now I am wondering if I should double dip and switch to Switch 2 version of the game. Or I can just finish it on PS and get Monster Hunter Rise on Switch, but I am not sure I would like to play two Monster Hunter games back to back.
Also played couple of hours of Arc Raiders. I have been playing it here and there with a friend, and they announced a beta PvE mode for this weekend so I went in to try that. I am not a fan of PvP and have been hoping for a pure PvE mode since the start, so very happy with this. Hope they make it a permanent addition. They also released a major update, Frozen Trail, so exploring it a bit too.
Will probably play it some more over the weekend too. Want to make use of this PvE weekend as much as I can.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
I finished The Pitt in Fallout 3. I didn't even remotely play it the way I was supposed to, but I still enjoyed it. It's tied with Point Lookout as my favorite, actually. Point Lookout really should be my favorite but its main story did not interest me at all. The only thing left to do is the Broken Steel expansion and I recently learned it only contains 3 main and 3 side quests, so I'm close to being done period. I was expecting a little more from a story expansion, but I'm curious to see what happens. There is something I'd like to see for the finale, but I'm not going to say it out loud to jinx it.
I finished the Hueco Mundo Arc of Bleach: Rebirth of Souls. One last story arc to go! I still can't believe how long Story Mode is. It's so long, I think I'm actually going to reach level 99 just from it alone! It doesn't really mean anything, the shop hasn't added anything new in a while, but it's weird.
I hunted Khezu in Monster Hunter GU and I'm starting to really feel the heaviness of the old games. Dodge rolls really aren't a thing, especially since you can't roll backwards. When Khezu starts to charge his electric attack while I'm attacking, I will take the hit. There just doesn't seem to be anything I can do. My only options are rolling forward, left or right, neither of which will do anything for me. So in return, I'm playing much more patiently, but my hunting times are still fine, so I don't think this is necessarily bad? The difference between a monster's enraged and tired state is also much bigger than in modern games. Angry monsters get so fast, it makes me feel even slower than I already do!
This weekend, I'll tackle Gypceros. It's a shame I never got to experience his trick blind, it would have been funny.
Good luck with Gypceros and finishing Fallout 3.
