What Are You Playing Right Now?

I decided to try Jagged Alliance 3 on PS5 this month after just Platinuming both Noboday Saves the World (awesome game) and A Plagues Tail: Requiem (also really fun, but didn’t quite have the same emotional impact of the first one for me). 3 hours in and enjoying the way they merged stroy telling and turned based action. I have to say, having not played the previous entries, the GUI has a bit of a learning curve.

The first time, virgin

I started it back when it was released. Only had got to the part with the extension cord debut. Started over with this new release and I already smoked past that part!

Spoiler: spoiler

just finished the dinosaur exhibit....which was a bit of meh part of the game, but a touching moment, but was happy as fuck to have Joel back for a bit

Fantastic game. I put lies of p on hold to switch to this. Only on chapter 3 now but it’s been fantastic. Having a whole stretch of the intro be Ichi getting dating advice from Nanba and Adachi was absolutely hilarious. Game is so much fun

Getting close to beating persona 5 tactica. It's no disgea or fire emblem, but still a decent sjrpg.

 

[BigMclargeHuge]

Beat persona 5 tactica. So far this the fourth game I've beaten this year and its not even February yet.

I just finished the last of us 2; I enjoyed it a lot, solid 9/10

Highlights for me


-The combat is excellent,
-Masterful animations.
-Killing animations are brutal
-Some beautiful environments;
-I really liked Abby's character;
-The second half of the game really shined for me,
-Tense moments,
-Excellent boss fights
-The scale of the game was super impressive, especially some of the verticality.
-Fantastic weapons
-Great upgrade system

Lows

- A bit pretentious in places;
-The zebra scene did not cut it for me, trying too hard to hit a giraffe moment from the first game; I would have made it more personal/emotional with Abby cutting the wires, like when Ellie plays the guitar.
-The story is a bit flat in places;
-Some of Abby's reactions to her friend's dying could have been done a lot better; the sniper scene when her friend gets shot in the face, was piss poor.
-Did not like killing dogs,
-Story dragged on abit.

Technical issues

-A couple of minor glitches
-I found a room that was barricaded from the inside, had to smash a window to get in, and had a note saying the guy had moved on.
-I found some spawns of enemies that did not make sense, i.e., how did they get into the location? One particular spot where Ellie needed to jump down, like a 5-meter drop, but somehow the enemies came that way.
-Abby's animations spazzed out on the crane,
-The pregnant woman, aka "The Flash, standing at the bottom of the boat in the hangar, 10 meters below me, said, "I will be right there. I turned to the left, and she was suddenly standing right next to me."
-some terrible Ai pathing at the end of the game that ruined a scene for me,

All in all, it is nothing major, just minor floors.

Started playing like a dragon gaiden. Pretty good so far, but that's to be expected.

I thought I would notch off a game on my backlist, so I started playing the Callisto Project.

I'm unsure if it's a good thing, especially after playing the Last of Us 2, as this game will look terrible.

So far its not to bad at all, some of the death animations are over the top, the combat system is very strange, environments are very pretty, but the levels, some of them have too much crawl through this hole, climb up this ledge into another room and do the same thing again.

I don't like the voice acting in the game, especially the guy helping you navigate.

The loading times are incredible. I died in a spot, and it was basically instantaneous.

I'm only about an hour in; see how far I can get.

The graphics are really good, I’d say slightly worse than TLOU2.

I'm not sure if there's enough interest for this so I'm going to post about it here. There's a wonderful bundle on Fanatical I can barely believe how good it is

Platinum Collection - Build your own Bundle (February 2024) | Fanatical

You can choose 3 games and I recommend Cookie Cutter, Summum Aeterna and Aeterna Noctis. I already had Aeterna Noctis so I took Ziggurat 2.

Cookie Cutter just came out last month and it's an awesome metroidvania with high production values.

Aeterna Noctis is up there with Hollow Knight as the biggest and best metroidvania. The game can be hard but you can cheat on PC.

Summum Aeterna is a roguelike in the same world as Aeterna Noctis that came out recently and was never on deep sale. I was addicted to Aeterna Noctis so I'm glad there's another game in the same universe.

You can choose whatever else but take at least these 3. Incredible deal.

-I really liked Abby's character;

Callisto Protocol, you mean? Eye candy. They spent all of their budget on graphics and hiring "famous" actors for their game. The combat is awful, the story only gets interesting at the last moments of the game, boss fights are horrible (you will see what I mean) etc.

It really is a pretty game; there's not too much to it, and it could really do with some more RPG elements to it.

I just got to the ship where I need to follow the woman onto it; I'm not too sure how far it is till the end of the game.

I did not expect much from the game with all the negative reviews, but it's fine for a play-through so far, and I got it for free, so I can't really complain.
