This is really a big disappointment. I was really looking forward to enjoying the previous works from Monolith soft but this decision just really lowers my interest.

Now THIS is what I'm talking about! I loved Xenoblade 3 on its own and it serves as a great stand alone game. But, so many people were calling XC3 the end of Klaus's story so it didn't feel very satisfying in that regard.

I would like a solid release date for the final fantasy pixel remasters.

Well this was a nice announcement to wake up to

I'm a little over 30 hours into Persona 5 Royal and I'm now starting the third palace. Looking forward to making more progress!

YES YES YES! This mode is one of the main reasons why Brawl is my favorite smash bros game. I even completed it to 100% completion. Words cannot describe how disappointed I was with World of Light (and Smash Ultimate as a whole tbh).

I am going to hop back into Persona 5 Royal again! I'm just at the end of the second palace.

I'm still hooked on RuneScape so I'll probably be playing that again 😅

I was playing Persona 5 Royal but I decided to take a break from it. I think I'm about 16 hours in now.

Funny enough this past week I've been playing a game from my childhood a lot lately and that's RuneScape. I haven't played for a few years at this point but a couple weeks ago I logged in just to see what was going on in the game. I was planning on only staying on for like 5 minutes and then forgetting about the game again. But, I actually saw one of my online friends from middle school log in as well. Let me tell ya...it was a really joyous reunion 😂 Turns out he just recently returned to the game after years of not playing. So after catching up we ended up killing bosses like we used for a few hours. During that time I got hooked on the game again so now we've been playing pretty much daily lol. Plus I got his discord so we can communicate outside of the game. It's crazy that we actually bumped into each other in the short time I was planning to be online! If I didn't see him I probably wouldn't be playing again 😂

19/24! That overwatch question really shocked me. I don't play overwatch so I didn't even realize they shut the whole thing down! That's kinda scummy

I'm 13 hours into Persona 5 Royal. It's been okay so far but it hasn't really hooked me yet. I'm a bit surprised because I was already hooked on Persona 4 Golden by this point when I played it.

I've also been playing OlliOlli World. I did not expect this game to be so addicting lol. Ever since I've figured out how to do combos I've been adamant on doing the whole level in one run. I think I'm on the 5th world which looks like the last one.

I'm probably going to get Persona 3 and Fire Emblem Engage. I played Persona 4 Golden on Steam a little while ago so I might wait for a sale on that one.

1) Xenoblade Chronicles 3
2) Triangle Strategy
3) Splatoon 3
4) Kirby and the Forgotten Land
5) Pokemon Legends Arceus

I did all the side quests in this game; man, they were pretty enjoyable! They were such a drastic improvement over XC1 and XC2. I said this somewhere before but I actually ended up recognizing NPCs from every colony and remembering their quests lol.

Honestly I'm not sure what I'll play 😅. I've kinda got 4 games going at once atm. I've got Tales of Berseria which I'm pretty far into. I think I might be able to finish that this weekend. I've also been playing Pokemon Legends Arceus. Idk how far I am with this one, I'm about 10 hours in I think so I'd imagine I've got a long way to go. I'm also on the final dungeon for Ys I in Ys I & II Chronicles so I could finish that as well. Lastly I'm also playing Sonic and the Secret Rings. A lot of 3D sonic games get a boatload of hate so I decided I wanted to play them so I could judge for myself 😂

Who knows maybe I'll just play all of them lol

Very solid list! I'm glad to see Xenoblade 3 up there! I'm also happy to see Niers user score went up. When I first checked it was sitting at an 8.0.

This weekend I'll be playing more Tales of Berseria if I have the time! I might play more Ys I & II Chronicles as well!

Yesssssss! I'm definitely looking forward to this one!

Gotta give it to Xenoblade 3! Kirby, Triangle Strategy, and Splatoon 3 are also quite close for me though!

Awesome! I always look forward to these!

Edit: Here's mine I noticed they don't actually tell you how many hours you've played in total like they did in previous years so I added them up and my total playtime for this year ended up being roughly 594 hours. (208 of that is from XC3 alone lol)

About time! Goodness gracious

After I finish some work I'm gonna continue with Tales of Berseria and maybe Pokemon Legends: Arceus

The flute player from the orchestra was all in 💯

Wow some of these deals are better than the black friday ones! lol

I've been wondering what happened to this game! I've been looking forward to it since it was announced. I finished DQ4 not too long ago and I'm probably gonna start DQ5 soon!

It's been well over a year since the pixel remasters were announced...I was hoping they'd be on switch by now

I have no clue if I'll have time to play anything this weekend sadly. Since it's getting close to Christmas I have to start working 6 days a week so I'll probably be at work 😅. But if I do get time I'll make some progress on Tales of Berseria.

I started my second playthrough of this game not too long ago and I'm always amazed by the world they created here. It's so different from the other games in the series. I'm kind of sad that the other Xenoblade games don't have this level of exploration!

@Kirbyo It's no problem and yeah I agree! I was just letting you know why they might've thought that 😅

@Kirbyo I think he's referring to the last sentence of this article: https://www.nintendolife.com/features/soapbox-in-defence-of-balan-wonderworld-the-worst-game-of-2021

I finished Triangle Strategy last week and I've gotta say that was a fantastic game! I'm not quite sure what I want to play next though...I did pick up Tales of Berseria for $5 on Steam recently so maybe I'll start that.

@Tyranexx Haha thank you so much!

I'm not going to be playing anything today because I have my graduation ceremony! However on the flight back tomorrow I'm probably going to be finishing up Triangle Strategy

Let's goooo! I've got 200 hours in XC3 and still enjoying it! It's definitely my personal game of the year! It has some tough competition for GOTY and Best RPG but I think XC3 winning best soundtrack isn't too far-fetched!

I played Splatoon 3 for quite a few hours last night. I might play more of the splatfest during the weekend. Other than that I'll continue playing Triangle Strategy. I'm on chapter 11 for that game!

Admittedly New Horizons was actually my first animal crossing game so I'm not sure how it compares to others 😅

I'm currently playing through the post game world with my brother! This was my first mainline Kirby game and it was absolutely worth it!

Last weekend I finished Dragon Quest IV on my DS. Overall it was a pretty solid experience. Idk how I feel about the game being split up into chapters because it felt like the game took a little while to get off the ground but I still enjoyed my time with it. I also did the post-game in chapter 6 as well! I thought it was so cool that we were actually able to recruit Psaro to our party in the post game!

This weekend I'm going to be playing more of Triangle Strategy. I'm only on chapter 8 but I can already see this being one of my favorite games released this year. The story has me hooked and some of the choices that you have to make are really hard! This means I'm likely going to replay the game again 😅

I'm also going to play a little bit of Final Fantasy XIV. I'm about 12 hours into ARR and I find it fun enough to keep playing but I wouldn't say that I'm completely "hooked" as yet. Most of the main story quests feel like side quests. I might also play a little bit of Splatoon 3 in preparation for the splatfest next week!

I'm planning on making some good progress into Dragon Quest IV and maybe a little bit of Triangle Strategy as well. I also started playing the free trial of Final Fantasy XIV. A lot of people say ARR is boring but I can't lie, I've been having fun with it so far 😅

There have been a lot of good games that came to switch in October so I might have to wait at least a little bit 😅

Can't wait to get my hands on this! I'm going to do another replay of Bayonetta 1 and 2 first!

I'm on chapter 5 still for Dragon Quest IV. I might make some more progress with that but I need to grind a bit before advancing the story and I don't really feel like it atm 😅

I've also started Triangle Strategy a few days ago. I've loved what I played so far.

Probably not. People have been waiting for this game with no news about it for YEARS I doubt many of them would be okay with boycotting after such a long wait.

Well I finished Final Fantasy XV last night. Despite the main story feeling a little disjointed I actually liked it for the most part. I still have some DLC for this game so I'll probably give those a playthrough later.

I'm also on chapter 4 in Dragon Quest IV. I've had to grind a bit between both chapters 3 and 4 but it hasn't really bothered me too much. This weekend I'll see if I can finish chapter 4.

I know they said it would release October 13th but I didn't think it would be so late in the day 😅. Either way, super excited to start playing!

Oh my gosh we can only pick one?? Ugh...this really is an impossible choice...I want to say the grand finale from Bowser's Inside Story

@Bret I just want co-op battle tower to return man

I'm currently on chapter 5 for Final Fantasy XV! I've really been enjoying the game thus far and I've really been drowning in side quests lol. Alongside that I'm also playing Dragon Quest IV on my DSi. I really loved DQ11 and I decided I should finally jump into another Dragon Quest game. Currently on chapter 2 for DQ4!

I can't lie I really like what I've seen so far! I'm looking forward to seeing more!

This is insane! I hope he enjoys having a face!
