Stuck at the next boss in Darksiders 3. It’s a very gimmiky boss. First half is simple-ish, though not actually easy, but when you get the boss’ health to half, it moves into phase two, which is under water fight. The gimmick is to swim and bring the homing bombs / mines to the boss, but only when it is sucking in the water, which happens after a specific series of attack, and meanwhile you have to make sure the bombs don’t hit you. Having trouble here, took me quite a while to clear the first phase, and can’t get the proper hang of second phase.
All the skills I have learned in the game, and the “git gud” (gitten gud?) I have done doesn’t matter cause of this gimmicky fight, which is annoying. If I drop this game, this is probably where I’ll do it.
Reached Arabaia in Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. Doing the dungeon right now. Should be halfway through the area.
Tom Clancy’s The Division: Did all the missions till level 16, time to do some side missions to level up before doing the next missions. I would love a single-player, non-ubisoft-design game in the world of Division. The world building, the visuals, the gameplay (other than spongy enemies) and even the UI, all are pretty good. Just not a big fan of the live service style of game.
Doing the last chapter of Campaign in Hard West. Still have the prequel chapter, and 4 side chapters left though. Prioritizing this now, as I want to start Pokopia after I am done with it. It will probably still take a week or so.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
I loved 7, 2 Remake and 3 Remake, then pretty much find most of the rest of them dull & tedious to an unplayable level. I wasn’t paying much attention to Requiem, but I’ve been watching a mate play it and it looks really good. I think if you liked 7 it’ll be right up your alley. As for Village, it wasn’t for me (there’s one section I thought was great, the rest was eh) but most people I’ve spoken to who are into the newer ones rate it highly, so I hope you like it.
What about 4 Remake? From what I have heard that’s the fan favourite.
I’m an outlier there. I like slow, atmospheric survival horror punctuated with small segments of high pressure action. 4 is a full game of all of the worst parts of the series, I hate it.
Ah, makes sense. I am the opposite, don’t like horror, which is why I liked RE 5 more (never played 6 or any after that). Thinking about trying the remakes, let’s see how it goes.
Up until playing 7, I hadn’t played any Resident Evil since Revelations on 3DS and then the original release of 4 on Gamecube, so it had been a really long time. Which is probably a good thing since I didn’t have any fresh comparisons going into playing these 3.
