Picked up x4:foundations in the steam sale. It’s good. I just finished building my first station
Been trying to go through the several hundred free games Epic has given out that I’ve never played.
Mostly spent this week on Redout II, which is good if not great. But it’s also the closest I’ve played to a modern F-Zero or WipEout, so it might even not end up uninstalled when I’m done with it.
I continued a bit in Fallout 3. It still holds up, much to my surprise, especially after playing Fallout 2. The shooting still feels bad though, which I know is vastly improved in New Vegas and 4.
With Double Exposure around the corner, I finally got around to playing through Life is Strange: Before the Storm. It could be slow at times, and the story was otherwise just fine. I think not having the missing person criminal conspiracy really harms the pacing, and I’m glad that angle is coming back in Double Exposure.
I also got back on the grind in Street Fighter 6 a bit. I hit a wall with Zangief and struggled to find the answers in neutral, especially against the two newest DLC characters, to the point where I considered changing characters, but I do think I got over that hump. I’m at about 1400 MR right now, and I’d like to get to around 1700 sometime this summer.
In trying to finish Before the Storm, I didn’t make much time for Elden Ring, but I do want to get back to that DLC now that I have; that and The Thaumaturge.
I’ve also been enjoying the new drg season, especially now that they have removed all fomo from the game
Just finished the Elden Ring DLC, which was overall still fun but felt overtuned at times. While I didn’t use any summons throughout the base game and initially tried to keep it that way, some bosses simply weren’t fun to learn anymore.
Afterwards I dove into my backlog and started God of War 2018. I had pretty high expectations, given how beloved it is. Honestly, it’s fine at best - the combat is boring and the overall design can be summarized as AAA slob. Maybe it does get better, I’m not very far yet.
