Played some more of Darksiders 3 and Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. Not much to add here.

Started couple of other games. Started Tom Clancy’s The Division with friends. I played a little bit of it a while ago, and while I liked the world building and the gameplay loop, but game started feeling repititive. Now playing with friends, so hopefully won’t have that issue. Played a few missions and so far so good.

Also started Hard West on Switch 2. It’s a turn based tactics game in wild west. It has couple of interesting mechanism, like luck. Each time someone shoots at you, your luck reduces (depending on distance, cover etc), and when your luck is down the shot hits you. You can also shoot people through cover. There is also an area map, where you can do a few things (depending on the campaign)

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    I’d love to hear you expand on that

    The series tends to frustrate me because every game does something exceptionally well and is the worst in the series in some other way.

    What’s the issue with each 1, 2, and 3?

    @slimerancher@lemmy.world is this the type of discussion that is allowed or should be in its own thread?

      Yeah, this is fine. Create a new thread if you want to ask from whole community, for one to one, replying to the respective comment is perfectly fine.

      This is completely subjective, of course, but I thought:

      1 had the best world, but the worst side quests.

      X had the best exploration, but the worst characters.

      2 had the best combat, but Gacha.

      3 had the best side quests, but the worst world.

      There’s more I could say, but I limited it to the best and worst of each when directly compared. There’s a really good game we could piece together from these four!
