Finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations .

Great game. Loved the story, the new and the returning characters, and the cases themselves.

The game made me hate certain characters, and really annoyed at certain other ones, which shows how well everything was written.

It's the best Phoenix Wright game yet.

Next in the series is Apollo Justice. Not going to get it right away, but will probably get it later this year.


Started Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition !

It's nice to see it getting great reviews, though I have just seen the numbers and haven't actually read anything or even watched most of the trailers. Wanted to go as blind as possible.

I am only about an hour and half in, so can't say anything about it, but my first impression is that the game mechanics in start are more overwhelming, at least when compared to XC 3, but it is an older game.

I do like the weapon system though, but I haven't gotten the full understanding yet.

One thing I didn't like is that I'll have such a big list of party members but ca have only 4 in my party at a time. I always have FOMO when leaving out my party members. This is something I loved in XC 3. But that's for the future, I don't even have 4 people in my party yet.


Played a bit more of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

I was playing as Elf mage, but as I mentioned my FOMO with party members above, I have same issue with different classes, and I am not going to play such a big game twice, so I started new game on other save as Qunari warrior. And while I enjoyed playing that, I realised game isn't different enough with different classes to worry about it too much, so went back to playing my elf mage.

I am about 10 hours in, and am still enjoying the game. Different locations have different biomes and feel very different from each other. There are quests for different locations, factions and companions. You get (slightly) different dialogue depending on your race, class and faction.

One issue about companions, during quest conversation, companions don't intervene at all. I have been bringing companions that match the faction for the sidequests, but during the conversation where I am getting the quest, or talking with someone that progresses the quest, it's just me and the NPC. For main quests, there is generally one companion that is required to be in party, and that one does take part in the quest, but other than that it's just like I am alone.

Companions do talk during the quest, giving their opinions and suggestions, and also talking with each other about things that have happened or the location they are currently visiting, but if they had added a snippet or two from relevant companions for side quests too, that would have improved the experience much more.


I'll probably be playing just these two games for the forseeable future, specially since I am going to be quite busy for next couple of weeks and won't have too much time to play games.

What about all you? What have you been playing?

Not much of a difference from last week. Didn't really get much play time, and what I did, spent pretty much all on Phoenix Wright.


Still playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations .

Just started the 5th case, which is apparently the last one. Loved all the cases till now, and the last one seems to be a great conclusion.

3rd case was really fun, at least the beginning.

spoiler

Also, I really hate Dahlia now.


Dropped Just Cause 3.

Liberated the first province, and most of the second province, but the difficulty level of remaining bases increased a lot. Many elite level enemies and lot more enemies. Doesn't make the game too difficult, but I was just playing it for mindless blowing up stuff, so when I couldn't do that anymore, didn't want to continue playing it.

Should just get EDF for this mindless killing stuff.


Started Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

I wasn't planning to start it anytime soon, dunno why I did.

I am only about 4-5 hours in, and for now it feels "Dragon Age" to me. Maybe it will change when I play more, but the level design and characters interaction etc. feel similar to Inquisition. Character models and visual styles are of course different, as well as combat, but playing the game feel like I am playing a sequel to Inquisition, not some other random game.

Plan to keep playing it as a secondary game.


On a separate note, Xenoblade Chronicles X got preloaded! Can't wait for the release!

That's all on my end. Unless I forgot some game again. What about all you? What have you been playing?

This release contains the three classic side-scrolling 2D action games Azure Striker Gunvolt (2014), Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 (2016), and Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 (2022), including all available downloadable content.

Enjoy not just the action, but deep story that plays out without interrupting gameplay in “Live Novel” dialog that plays during missions. With full voiceover (Japanese only in Azure Striker Gunvolt and Azure Striker Gunvolt 2) and a total of 37 vocal tracks sung by the Muses, you’ll be immersed in the near-future dystopian world.

In addition, the series director has renewed all three titles, polishing the action gameplay and updating the music. Previously separately available items such as voice drama CDs are now included in-game in Library Mode, making for the most complete “final version” of the trilogy.
