Pokémon Legends: Arceus. I'm six hours in and it is wonderful. Really fun, but I wish I could remap the buttons. Besides that I'll hit up K.K. Slider tonight for a new tune.
None of my top three titles played on the year in review were released this year. I see that as a problem. I think the Animal Crossing update was the biggest release for me. I hopefully have SMT V under my Christmas tree. I like that Nintendo released a lot of different types of games this year though.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus though I don't like how close it is releasing to the Gen 4 remakes. I'd like Dragon Quest X Offline in English, but I doubt that happens.
The post game in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond really opens everything up. I'm having a lot of fun. Besides that I will be playing Animal Crossing New Horizon same as always.
Animal Crossing New Horizons almost hitting 7m. I've honestly been enjoying the update more than Pokemon Brillaint Diamond. I haven't even got the home designer dlc yet.
I'm back to playing ACNH every day. Nice and relaxing. I'll be doing some raids in Pokemon Shield for the shiny Eeveelutions. Hard to make time for those two when I've been playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamond since getting it yesterday.
Last night I tried the Metriod Dread demo. Really nice looking game. I didn't like that the EMMIs made you rush around when trying to think of where to go next. Quite a long demo that I think gave me the feeling that the game wasn't for me. Also seemed like you can't carry over progress which is dumb.
After that I tried The Touryst demo. Very cute and fun game. Think I'll wait for a sale.
Besides those I'll just be shiny breeding in Pokemon Shield. Have a good weekend everyone. Happy Halloween.
During the free game trial the repetitive gameplay can suck you in but now a few days after I really can't remember much. I played five hours of it and can't remember a single character's name. I don't think that is good for this type of game.
I'm playing the Story of Seasons game trial. I like it so far. One of my first games ever was Harvest Moon for the Game Boy. It certainly feels different enough from Stardew Valley. I wouldn't necessarily say one is better than the other. Stardew Valley has better more meaningful interactions with the town residents, but Story of Seasons is a lot cuter and from what I've played so far seems to have a lot more to do.
I just don't know if I'll buy it. Seems like it could get repetitive quite quickly.

Re: Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard, Now Owns Call Of Duty And Crash Bandicoot
Call of Duty is a major console seller and I bet Microsoft isn't going to be making any more for Playstation.

ACNH which is daily. I'm back to playing Pokémon Shield.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Animal Crossing New Horizon and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I want to start a new game on Devil Summoner but I doubt I could finish it before the holidays.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Re: Chrono Trigger-Inspired RPG 'Sea Of Stars' Sets Sail On Switch Holiday 2022
