Gaming

Trails in the Sky, Yakuza Like a Dragon and D4 when friends are on it. Actually excited for the D4 season, I am going to play a class I know nothing about and not use any guides; see how far I get.

Viewfinder comes out tomorrow, I'm looking forward to that. I played the demo on steam and confirmed that it is something I'll almost certainly enjoy.

For this week and the next I'm hoping to complete Vampyr.

A bit disappointed with the floaty melee combat, but eh not that many vampire games on PS4 at the moment.

Still Vampire Survivors and Satisfactory, if I can get a break in Vampire Survivors...

Binding of Isaac Repentance is my main game at the moment. I'm also trying to squeeze some Need for Speed Underground 2 on the PS2. Gaming is no longer my primary hobby so it's no more than an hour or two per day. Still, looking forward to the other NFS titles on the PS2. I might try to finish the first Underground and go for 100% on both before moving on.

I just finished Jedi Survivor. It was a hell of a run, fun, super enjoyable and absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to start the new game + and try to get all the achievements

working towards 106% in Crash 4. it's tough as nails and it's not a game that shies away from slapping you and laughing in your face for the smallest screw up. The 106% demands literal perfection on each level.

but it's a lot of fun and slowly conquering this behemoth is super satisfying

Been playing through Borderlands 3. I always loved the pretense and style of the older ones, but the shooting just never felt good enough moment to moment to stick it out. This one's finally got it and I've been enjoying my time, even though the characters and dialogue are funny at rare times, and mostly pretty terrible.

Horizon Forbidden West - don’t like it as much as the first but I’m determined to finish it before moving on to something else

Alan Wake Remastered. I bounced off of this when I was a kid playing on the 360, but I wanted to go back and give it another try in anticipation of Alan Wake 2. Also sprinkling in some Midnight Fight Express and Rollerdrome.

Looking forward to Baldur's Gate 3 and Lords of the Fallen.

I'm currently playing though The Messenger, it makes me feel dumb sometimes because some of the backgrounds look like foregrounds

Beat hazard 3. It's in early access and I love the simple concept of "music creates the stage". You can use digital copies of songs, or in this new fangled age of streaming it allows for a plethora of other streaming services and even just desktop live audio if you happen to have some dj streaming on twitch open.

It's basically asteroids with upgrades, bosses, and waves upon waves of musically generated ships to blast.

Each track completed awards a unique new ship to pilot, procedurally generated. There is a galactic conquest mode where all your music is made into clusters in it's own galaxy. And the solo dev of the whole thing went ahead and added upgradeable special attacks in the most recent update, which is why I've been playing this week.

Mainly spending my time on Cities Skylines, trying to contain the hype for the 2nd one. Really excited to see what Blizzard does with the D4 seasons... Also excited to play Ratchet again after not owning a PS since the PS2.
