Playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. Not much new here, doing some side content while waiting for FrontNav minerals to give me what I need. Did some side quests, also finally found the dog, so was able to do tons of heart-to-heart.
Finally got the required mineral last night and went to start Chapter 7, when I realised I haven’t surveyed Oblivia enough! facepalm I remember checking it before and was sure I meet the required number, so I either it read the requriement wrong or my survey percentage wrong.
Anyways, with Skell, it shouldn’t take too long to do it. Also, got all my characters to level 30, so can buy Skells for them. Haven’t done that yet though, will do it soon.
The Surge time was pretty productive, completed the third area, and got some good upgrades, then went back to second area (that’s how the game flows), and now am stuck at the boss.
I am bit confused about this boss. It has two phases, I have gotten down first one now, can do it without losing much health, or sometimes, any health. The second phase has 4 robo-arms on the side walls, which keep attacking you when you are attacking the mail pillar / boss. You can destroy those 4 arms, but if kill the boss without destroying the arms, you get a very good weapon.
So, that’s where I am stuck, I want to kill the boss without destroying those arms, to get that weapons, but I am not sure if I am good enough to keep track of 5 different things and attack the boss while dodging them. Going to try a few more times, if it didn’t work out, will just destroy the arms.
Also got Street Fighter 6
I am more of a casual fighting game player, but still enjoy them every now and then, with a soft spot for Street Fighter and Soulcalibur games. So, just got it to play few rounds every now and then. Thinking about seeing if I can get anywhere in ranked, but not too concerned about it.
Ilandar mentioned PlanetSide 2 last week, and after looking it up, I wanted to give it a try. Plan to check it out over the weekend. I am not much of a MMO fan, so not sure how much I will actually play, but want to take a look.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Not much on the Switch at the moment - I finished Mario Wonder the other week (excellent game) and I think I’m near the end of Steamworld Quest. So I’m flicking between that and Picross S4 when I get time.
On PS5 I’ve borrowed a copy of FF7 Rebirth off a friend which I look forward to starting later! I was also gifted A Short Hike on Steam so maybe I’ll give that a go :)
Quest is the only Steamworld game I never finished. How are you liking it?
I have played the FF7 Remake but haven’t gotten around to Rebirth yet. Let us know how you like it.
The first 10 hours or so of Quest I really enjoyed. But I seem to have lost some motivation over the last couple of weeks. Once you find a setup that works, each battle becomes a bit samey. Hopefully I’ll be able to push through and finish it soon.
I’ve heard great things about Rebirth and I really enjoyed Remake, so I’ve got high hopes!
Playing Xenoblade X!
Was not in a gaming mood but still made some small progress on this.
Got my Ares 90 Skell, laughed hard at how ridiculously broken it is (see my edit on last week’s post for a video sample), did some further upgrading to it then went around the map cleaning all those Level 90+ Tyrants since they all die to a single attack now.
Also completed Chapter 13.2, so only one story mission to go.
So, I bought my first skell, and the difference between that and the free one is night and day. Previously, I wasn’t sure what’s such a big deal with these skells, they make traversal easy, but weren’t much for fighting, but now I can kill most enemies of my level so quickly!
What’s the point of classes once you get the skell though?
Monkey Island 2, Maniac Mansion and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
Nice, classics!
I have never played any Castlevania game, have been thinking about getting some collection and playing a few, but not sure which one to start with.
I finished Portal 2 co-op mode a fair while ago (and the bonus levels that I honestly could have missed entirely, because it’s not really indicated that they exist) and started the single-player mode. It’s fine, and I’m interested to find out the details (although it’s hinted at enough that I think I can guess), but I actually feel the single-player mode is a bit too long. You’re moving through the levels, but I none of them have been that challenging and in the later game (assuming I’m near the end), a lot are just too straightforward. Possibly I was spoiled by the co-op mode and I would have liked the single-player mode more if I’d done it first.
Interesting, never played the co-op mode, is it more difficult than the single player mode?
I’d say so, yes. Coordinating two players to do their things in the right order and getting the timing right requires a lot more thought. I did finish the single-player mode and there was one near the end that had me thinking for a bit, but there was nothing as challenging as what’s in the co-op mode.
Makes sense. Thanks for the info.
Finished up the last bit or currently released content in Monster Hunter Rise. I’m still playing it to not get rusty and get all that equipment I’m still missing, but it’s a secondary game from now on. The stories about High Rank Zoh Shia were highly exaggerated, it was way easier than Arch Tempered Rey Dau.
I should finally be able to focus more on Brothership now. The fourth ‘world’ has been kinda disappointing so far. Strong opening cutscene, but not much to talk about since.
I’ve started my third playthrough of Pokemon Infinite Fusion, my second Nuzlocke and first time playing Remix Mode. I barely made it past Brock without casualties, which taught me to be prepared for the worst.
Congratulations on beating HR Zoh Shia and Arch Temepered Rey Dau! (What’s Arch Temepered? Is it it’s name, or rank?)
