Merry Christmas everybody! 😊🌲

@RubyCarbuncle Yeah I agree, I'll probably leave it as is as well. Our precious gaming time is simply too valuable and should be spend wisely

I settled on Persona 5 Royal becoming my Christmas game this winter break. Kamoshida deserves what's coming for him.

I'm also debating whether or not I'm going to invest my time into acquiring enough BP in the Pokemon Indigo Disk DLC in order to catch all starters. The massive amount of BP required, the ridiculously simple (and extremely repetitive) quests and the insulting low turnout has managed to completely demotivate me. Normally I'm a sucker for completing the 'Dex, but this time might be different. This has left me more bummed than the overall poor performance. Maybe I'm missing a quicker way to acquire BP, but if not, the devs have managed to make this DLC feel like a chore.

They are so cute!

I am so happy with the NL community. Over at Push Square some people can no longer enjoy Atlus and the masterpiece that is P5, all over one PS4 to PS5 upgrade decision. But the positivity and honest celebratory comments make me glad to be part of this community.

I can't believe free upgrades have become expected. These cost time, money and great effort. Sony Interactive Studios might be able to afford this, Atlus and Sega need to be more conscious of expenditures.

This weekend I'll be diving into the second DLC of Pokemon S/V. Hopefully collecting the 'mon is fun enough to warrant the purchase.

I have also started a new playthrough of Persona 5 Royal. 2 years ago I tried to get into this game, but after 10 hours I found myself distracted by a freshly released game. So, hopefully this time around it will completely draw me in.

@Geit_de I've been having a lot of fun with this game with my pals, but I do agree with the presence of bugs and the lack of resources in some caves you mentioned. However resource-wise, I think this game is clearly designed to play with multiple people, since emptying a cave with 3 or 4 people often gave us all the resources we needed for the next steps of upgrades.

Am I right to understand you have upgraded one village to level 10? We have started two more villages in the other biomes than grassland and leveling those up resulted in many more unlockable buildings, items, furniture, etc. It provided the game with many more hours to enjoy, until the inevitable update expands it even further.

I can't say I'm surprised after all that happened in recent years, but I am gutted. The anticipation, the hype, the surprises, it all led to some of my most cherished moments in gaming. Thank you E3, I will miss you.

Thanks for the heads up! I've got it pre-ordered, so now my Super Smash Bros Amiibo collection will finally be complete!

Booting up the Star Ocean remake last weekend has inspired me to (finally) finish Xenoblade Chronicles 3. During the week I have completed all possible sidequests, ascended all heroes, upgraded all base weapons and am currently at Z's doorstep in the game's final region. So I'm looking forward to finishing that this weekend and hopefully have some time left to get back to Star Ocean Second Story R. It deserves my undivided attention. Have a great weekend everyone!

@Darktower77 With all the new games they're still churning out this late in the Switch's life cycle, and the inevitable shift of developing power to software for the new console that has most likely been going on in the background, I do not feel like they are being lazy at all. Arrogant, probably. Lazy, I personally disagree.

I have picked up a physical copy of Star Ocean: Second Story R last Thursday, so hopefully I'll find the time to dive into that this weekend. Can't wait to soak in gorgeous those 2.5D-esque visual.

I am just so hyped, and this stellar review is making me even more hyped!

@Korgon Thanks! Might have a look on Xbox then

Is it coming to Switch?

That was absolutely horrendous. Using this iconic beat to promote a song like this is wild to me. I'm downright hoping for a cease and desist asap.

I have picked up where I left off in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 again after almost a year of not touching it. I have just started chapter 6 and am curious where the story will take me. This means I also have all the DLC to play through. And yes, I will also play a level or 5 in a certain plumber game. Have a great weekend everyone!

Most of the weekend will be taken up by a different geeky activity: Together with a buddy I'm going to paint the new Star Wars Shatterpoint miniatures and hopefully play the game as well.
On the gaming front I'll be continuing my playthrough of Assassin's Creed Mirage on the Series X and Eastward on the Switch for when my partner requires the tv. Looking forward to it all. Have a great weekend everyone!

@Snatcher it has been available on NSO's N64 service since february 2022 or do you mean a remake?

Might be interested in this game, but I'll wait for reviews or hold out 'till a significant sale. I already know this would land on my ever growing mountain that is my backlog almost instantly. So, I know I can wait even though my need for a dopamine hit says 'buy day 1'.

I would love to see Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn remakes in a double package. Kind of like they did FE Fates or even Advance Wars 1 + 2.

This weekend I'll be trying out the freshly launched My Hero Ultra Rumble. Besides that I'm continuing my playthrough of Sonic Frontiers and Eastward. Having a lot of fun with both!

Anyway, happy gaming everyone!

I only started playing Sonic Frontiers yesterday, so I am extremely happy with this free update. So far, I'm having a blast. I just love how intuitive the speed/platforming puzzles feel.

@Morsel I asked about the series in general I suppose. I haven't played many visual novel games. But the once I have played, Ace Attorney trilogy and 9 persons 9 doors 9 hours, I have really enjoyed. So, from what you're saying this will definitely click with me as well. Thanks!

@Morsel Ah thank you, good to hear! Then I will definitely pick up the first one in a good sale.

@Morsel How is AI Somnium Files? I have had my eye on it for a while now.

Yesterday I've picked up the physical version of Pikmin 1+2 and the new Avatar Last Airbender game for Switch. So, my weekend will undoubtedly be filled with some time on both, but I will also be continuing me playthrough of The Teal Mask. Earlier this week I managed to finish Jedi Survivor and I've decided to completely drop Starfield, it just didn't click with me, so I finally have full focus for my lovely old Switch again.

Happy gaming everyone!

I'll be dividing my time between playing Starfield, Sea of Stars and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. It's a weekend full of star gazing indeed!

Happy gaming everyone!

@TYRANACLES it runs just fine for me. It is indeed absolutely stunning. I think I have it on graphics mode. Of course there's the rare glitch where it doesn't run as smooth, but nothing too out there. Highly recommend the game!

This weekend I'll be continuing my playthrough of Raincode: Master Detective on Switch and Jedi: Survivor on the Series X while I'm waiting for the official release of Starfield in the coming week.

So far, Raincode has not grabbed my attention as much as I hoped it would. Any tips on when it gets good?

Anyway, happy gaming everyone!

I finished Pikmin 4 last week, so now I'm just playing some Vampire Survivors until Starfield releases on Xbox next week. I'm also craving some Mario in light of this week's news, so might boot up 3D All Stars as well. We'll see.

Happy gaming everyone!

After two weeks of vacation in France I have now returned home, which means, time to play games again! I was incredibly close to finishing Pikmin 4, so that's exactly what I'll be spending my time on this weekend. If I manage to finish it I'll probably play some Planet Coaster on PS5.

Happy gaming everyone!

I am currently on vacation in France and without my Switch. So the only thing I'm playing is Pokemon Sleep.

I will only have time to play a very specific, but very tiny game this weekend. Maybe you've heard of it or seen them in your garden? It's called Pikmin 4. All jokes aside, I am incredibly excited to boot it up, especially after the great reviews. Beyond stoked. Happy (tiny) gaming everyone!

This weekend I will be a mix of everything I'm currently playing; TotK, FF XVI and Diablo IV with friends.

And I hope to finally start Master Detective: Rain Code this weekend.

This weekend I will once again dive further into Final Fantasy XVI on PS5 if I have the time. I'll be at Dokomi in Germany so probably won't have much time to turn on my PS5 at home in the Netherlands at all. Instead it's more likely I'll turn on my Switch and start Master Detective: Rain Code instead. Either way it will be a great weekend. Happy gaming!

This weekend, besides working on my deadlines, I'll spend some time in the lovely new Final Fantasy XVI on PS5. I'm 4 hours in and I love it so much already! It's a gorgeous game with a gripping story.
I will probably have a little break with Zelda for the coming weeks. I'm at the final mission, I believe, but I just can't put myself to confront Ganondorf.

I own the game, but have yet to start, but I'm afraid it's going to remain on my backlog for the foreseeable future. I already have Diablo IV, Tears of the Kingdom and soon Final Fantasy XVI to keep me busy.

Tears of the Kingdom

While I enjoy all the eeveelutions, since launch I've really only been waiting for just one playable 'mon. Can you guess which one?

I'm going for the North American one this time. I own the European one but I actually think I prefer the NA version. I love how it shows more of the world in the backdrop and the dystopian 'support your government' poster is bringing in that nice one person against the system theme. It does a much better job of portraying Jade as a stealthy, but powerful rebel.

@GamerGrandpa Ah thank you! So, it's like the amount seperate titles they have released?

I've seen it referred to multiple times on here already, but what is meant with SKU?

I have my pre-order waiting for me later today. Can't wait to play it, am a sucker for these kind of games.

Currently not playing anything on Switch except for my daily dose of Pokemon Unite. I guess I'm just waiting till Advance Wars releases next week.

Elsewhere I'm at chapter 17 of Final Fantasy VII Remake, so very close to the end. And I might purchase the Pixel Remaster, since FF7 got me in a real FF tizzy ngl

It looks absolutely stunning and after having a lot of fun completing Chained Echoes, my heart is yearning for more of that SNES-style JRPG goodness.

Will there be a physical copy available in regular stores?

Visiting your site is one of my daily delights and has been so for many years. I'm happy to support in such a small, but meaningful way, just like you continue to really make a positive impact in my life

@Ooyah The Slowpoke Centipede!

Personally, I really think the DLC for FE Three Houses belongs on this list. It added a fourth House to the game, new characters and fleshed out story. Made for even better replay value to an already very replayable game
