I'm currently enjoying Hi Fi Rush a lot. There's something about that game. The game feels like an antidote to all the cynicism, doom and gloom out in the world. When I play it, there's a smile on my face. 🌞
I don't want any further ado. If my words have somehow hurt you, I apologize. They were never meant that way. I said that your statement said something about you. I believe it does, but I never specified what, because I don't know, and I also never meant to say it said something negative about your character either. For instance, if nothing wows you anymore, that could just be a simple result of having played a lot of games and not being as easily impressed anymore.
I didn't want to make assumptions about you, which is why I consciously left that open, but I guess that unfortunately also left space for a negative interpretation of my post. That was never my intent. Hopefully we can leave it at that and not derail the thread any further. 🌞
@Herculean Glad to hear you’re enjoying Hi-Fi Rush! I also recently played through it and it rocks. “Antidote” is certainly an apt word there, as the game actually highlights some pretty harsh truths, but does so in such a way that inspires hope. No small task! I really think it has some of the best writing and direction within the medium - a tonal home run, if you will. It’s nice to know the studio might get another crack at this universe.

@Herculean@BookhouseBoy I haven’t seen what’s been said but you both seem like decent sorts (from what I have seen from yous previously) don’t let a barny effect you too badly. We’ve all had one or two in our time… me more than most 😅, but you’ve both acted very cordial in the posts since your to-do, so who knows you could be best-buds like me and @JohnnyShoulder before you know it 😉
@BookhouseBoy I'd prefer you to hang around. I can see how my words might have impacted you differently if you're not in a right place of mind. I didn't know that and I'm sorry.
Also, you shouldn't feel you have to isolate from people if you're not doing well. I don't know anything about your situation, but I've been isolating myself a few times when I felt insecure. That was a mistake.
@BookhouseBoy, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: every day, once a day, give yourself a present.
Also, I had an extremely stressful day at work. I was probably less focused on other people's feelings than I normally do. Fortunately, it's now weekend for me, so let the good times roll. 🌞
@Th3solution I just defeated a mini-dungeon boss in ER this morning in the second main area that you're sposed to go to, I haven't done the bosses in the first main area yet because I am trying to become properly op first, but he was still pretty easy to take on, and defeating him gave me access to an item which makes upgrading your weapons easier, albeit only in the early stages of upgrading them. I am greatly enjoying my time in the game, and I will just mention that there is a mechanic which shares a similarity with that of one from Bloodborne - sometimes if you kill an enemy the number of your HP flasks is automatically replenished, it is a bit random as to how often it happens though, but I thought this was similar to Bloodborne's mechanic (rally system) wherein you have a small window to get some of your health back if you riposte an enemy fast enough.
Edit: Stats are now 25 Vigor & 55 Str - haven't levelled up anything else yet. Rocking the Greatsword +6 .
I’m still playing Metaphor ReFantazio. I’m in the second main area, and I’m not sure how to feel about this game anymore. Everything is top tier — the writing, gameplay, characters, combat, and aesthetics — but it’s not gripping me. It’s strange, too, because P4G is my favorite RPG of all time, and I enjoyed P5R immensely, so I’m accustomed to how Atlus games are, but I just get the sense that I’m missing too much content due to the calendar cycle and it’s really bothering me. Maybe I’m not in the right headspace at the moment. I think I’m going to put this game to the side for now.
Just finished a 7 hour co-op session of Palworld. It's so much better than I was expecting. I didn't think it would keep my interest because I thought there wouldn't be much to do compared to something like 7 Days to Die - Console Edition, but I was wrong! On top of building and catching Pals there's also boss battles, dungeons, Pal breeding, things to collect and more.
I really like a lot of the Pal designs, even if some of them do look similar to Pokémon.
@Kraven Out of curiosity what do you think you're missing out on? I've just beat the 4th main dungeon and have managed to do all the requests and bounties available to me at the moment.
@Bentleyma I just feel like I’m never choosing the right activity in any given day, and whichever one I do pick, I’m ultimately leaving something out. I know you can view an option detailing what percentage of people chose to do on that day and that’s how the game is designed and I usually love it (P4G and P5), but it just isn’t clicking the same way as in those games. And especially with certain responses to side quests being blocked by lower virtues.
I got the left half of the Dectus Medallion in Elden Ring ,this morning so I should be able to go to Altus Plateau soon, after getting the other corresponding item needed to access that area. And that in turn should allow me access to the goodies needed to further upgrade my Greatsword! I also ended up getting another Golden Seed, a Sacred Tear and the Flask of Wondrous Physick along the way! Fully loaded for the next battle!
