I almost forgot to post this week's thread! Life has been pretty busy, and will probably going to stay like that for couple of months. So, not getting much gaming time. But thinking about making small gaming goals to keep chipping away at these games.

  • Didn't get to play New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, but plan to at least clear one level every day, starting from this weekend.
  • Completed second case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, started a third one. Loving the game.
  • Dragon Quest XI is probably the only one I spent most time playing. Going to keep playing it.
  • Beat Nergigante, with some help in Monster Hunter: World. Now have to look for other Elder Dragons, but since I have Rathian armour which has -10 Dragon damage resistance, going to grind some better armour. Thinking about High Metal or Ingot. I was thinking about pausing the game for a while to focus on DQ XI, but then I thought I would have to "git gut" in MH again, so going to stick with it. Couple of sessions every week at least to keep the skills from deteriorating very much.

What about you guys? What are you currently playing? And what do you want to start next?

Finished Grisaia Phantom Trigger 5.5 to 08.

For those unfamiliar with this series of Visual Novels I left a small explanation about it on the second half of a comment a few weeks ago.

Episode 07 ended up rather disappointing. Given it's the second-to-last episode and we already went through introductions for all the heroes and the main antagonist I was expecting the story to ramp up, but after the decent start with Shiori we go into the warzone and.... get even more setup, with a very late introduction of a bunch of smaller villains alongside the early stages of the war.

Then we start 08 and... somehow there's a brand-new PoV character? This late in the story? But this turns out to be one of the best parts of this VN as you read the grim tale of Patrick, a civilian among the enemy forces trying to survive as the war rages on. The story keeps switching between Patrick and the main character group for the first half, then switches back entirely to the main cast for the action-packed finale.

Overall a decent VN, but nothing exceptional. I wouldn't recommend it for someone starting with the genre as there's much better things to read, but it's a nice "confort food" read if you're a VN fan looking for something new.

You finally finished it! Thanks for the review!

BTW is this a long game, or have you not been playing that much, cause this is pretty much how long you took to finish that Trails game.

[–] Phelpssan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, this one is much shorter, something around 20h.

I just didn't have the time to play a lot recently, weekends have been very busy.

I can understand, it's same here.
