Not much to mention this week.
In Final Fantasy XIV I am reaching main quests level 50, which I believe are the highest level quests in the base game, so shouldn’t be too much left in my free trial.
Played some more of Tiny Lands, reached world 8 so only about 25 or so levels remaining.
Played some Judgment too. It’s nice to play a brawler after playing MMO combat or cozy games.
Reached Chapter 7, some pretty interesting story stuff going on. Getting a bit tired of the side stories, most of those end up following someone or chasing someone. Both get kinda boring after a while. The stories themselves are weird and interesting, but not a big fan of gameplay for most of these.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
Taking months to finish a game is pretty normal for me. Most RPGs very easily take 3 months or more, and that is even without other stuff 😀
It doesn’t help that I’m a bit of a completionist (at least to the point of doing the majority of the side quests, and ignoring the ones I felt were tedious)
I have realised I will never be able to play all the games I want, so have stopped worrying about achieving 100% completeness or getting Platinum or even completing the main game. I have dropped 10+ games this year, would never have done that just 4-5 years ago.
That’s a good way to do things. I guess I have a mentality of ‘I paid for this, so I want to make the most of it’, though that doesn’t necessarily mean 100%ing a game, just playing it until I’m satisfied. In that respect calling myself a completionist isn’t quite accurate - I’ll just play through all of the significant content and avoid any filler. The recent Spiderman games are some of the few that I’ve actually 100%'d, because I found all the content to be fun and not a waste of time.
It’s rare that I’ve dropped a game, as I tend to be quite particular about the games I pick up; but I totally agree that if you’re not enjoying a game it’s better to just drop it and move on to something else. Digimon Cyber Sleuth for example - I got about 10 hours in and lost interest. Not sure if I’ll go back!
Yeah, everyone is different, as long as you are having fun, it’s good. I platinumed all 3 Spider-man games, they are pretty good. Also did the Platinum for Ghost of Tsushima, but that was only because a friend of mine also started playing around the same time so we would talk about it a bit, otherwise with the open-world design, I was about to skip all the side activities around half-way through the game.
