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)
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!
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!
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.
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!
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 😅
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'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've managed to finish all the sidequests in Xenoblade Chronicles 3! Last night I also managed to fill out every map completely. Now I need to max out every class for each character, kill every unique monster (I'm nearly done with this!), And master all arts for the soulhacker class. Once I'm done with those I think my 100% playthrough will be complete!
Alongside of this I might play a bit of Splatoon 3 as well. I'm still getting a good amount of connection errors so I only ever play a few matches at a time before giving up because of getting disconnected 😅. It's strange because I never had this problem with Splatoon 2.
@Ralizah Man that is insane...The fact that it takes a whole game to get the plot going is a really tall order...do you think it would be better to just watch an explanation video or story recap for the first trails in the sky game? I don't normally watch story recaps but in this case, I might make an exception lol.
@Ralizah Is trails in the sky actually that slow? I keep wanting to give the series a go but I've always heard that trails in the sky takes a long time to get off the ground. I'm not a stranger to games with a slow start but I think hearing this beforehand has caused me to put it off 😅.
@KilloWertz Yeah that's understandable! I didn't jump into future connected immediately either. It was a good point to take a break! I just wanted to make sure you were aware
@KilloWertz For what it's worth Future Connected is REALLY short compared to the base game. I did everything possible in future connected and it only took me 15 hours.
I think I'm getting really close to finishing all the side quests in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 so I'll be doing more of that! I also recently bought Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 so I might play that as well. I've got to say I love just free skating around the park lol. Idk what it is but it's just super therapeutic (until you fall that is lmao)
More side quests in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for me! I also played a few matches of Splatoon 3 last night and had a blast! I'll probably play more of that today as well.
