I have been a bit ill, so haven’t been around much, and not playing much either.

I did finish Demon’s Souls though. That was fun. Have lots of work piled up for weekend and next week, but if I get time, I would like to get back to Dragon Quest XI

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

    I was going to save Mario Wonder for in between Baten Kaitos 1 and 2 but I’m weak. It’s now my B-game in place of Katamari, I’m sorry King of all Cosmos.

    I’m in the endgame of Baten Kaitos now. Which means the big grind is cpming up to finish the collection and do all the SP Combos, which I always neglect because, like many things in the game, they are just so weirdly useless. Especially for how hard they can be to pull off naturally.

    I’m through a big chunk of Beyond Good and Evil now, too. I’m not in as much love anymore and that’s thanks to all the stealth sections. Though the fact that the camera controls on the Steam version just don’t like controllers is the biggest contributor to that.
    Edit: BG&E is beaten. The end really brought everything back to what I liked in the beginning! Now I’ll join the others in waiting for the sequel. It’ll be out soon, right? …right?

      Did you get that 2 week of gameplay card?

      lol, the sequel (which is actually a prequel, with different characters) is probably never going to release. Better to think of it as a series that has finished, and if we ever get another game (which is worth playing) in a decade or so, it would be a pleasant surprise.

        I still need a good 100 hours or so. It’s hard to say exactly, because menu times stop the timer, so the in-game time isn’t anything to go by.

          Wow, that’s a lot, probably going to take you a week or two more to get that. I guess you would’ve completed everything else by the time you get it done, right?

            Not everything, since I’ll also have to beat New Game Minus for an achievement. I was told a card’s age doesn’t reset upon the transfer, but I don’t really feel like chancing it, even when I’m 99% sure it’s true. But if I have extra time, I wouldn’t mind grinding out some endgame drops for that.

            But for what it’s worth, I found the upside of not having much time time to play because of work. The less time I have to play, the more idle time I can get in.
