It’s Thanksgiving weekend!

I just finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the game is really good. I liked the court room sections a lot more than investigation parts. Both were pretty fun though. To rate the best case, I would go with Episode 4 (Lake Gourd), Episode 3 (Steel Samurai) was more “fun” but Episode 4 was more intense, and overall much better, I think.

Still playing Nioh on PS5. The game has started to feel a bit repetitive. Similar looking areas with pretty much same enemies repeating. Unlike Demon’s Souls where each region / world was completely different biome with different enemies. Still enjoying it while playing, but don’t feel too much like starting it. So, not sure if I’ll finish it or not.

I wanted to start Super Mario RPG next, but ended up spending my gaming money somewhere else, so went through my backlog and started Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1. The game has some fanservice, but I am liking the 4th wall breaking humour.

What about all of you? What have you been playing? or are you taking a break from gaming and spending all time with family this weekend?

    I’ve exclusively been playing ranked matches in Halo Infinite. I don’t really know why, but definitely needed to scratch some sort of fps itch.

        I played a ton at launch, but yes, new content just didn’t come out and the player base dwindled.

        Seems to have a resurgence of late. Custom maps from forge, additional playlists, cross amor core customization, I think has all helped.

        Ultimately, I just like the competitive mp aspect.

            Nor am I. Last time I got into any of them was when I enjoyed playing Splatoon 2 for a bit. Unfortunately the matching was really bad when I played, and the disconnections were worse. So you’d get people - probably little kids - on your team who wouldn’t play as a team, then one would get disconnected and you’d have zero chace of winning. Even playing my absolute best wasn’t enough in those situations. Heck, even if I were matched with all adults, that single disconnect would screw everyone.

            I found that ultimately it wasn’t fun. No idea if any of that improved over time or if Splatoon 3 was any better. I am now, and always have been, a much bigger fan of single player experiences.

              I think Nintendo games in general have bad reputation for their network code. I don’t play online much so can’t compare, but have seen people regularly complaining about Splatoon, Smash and Mario Kart online issues.

    Finished Radiant Silvergun!

    Well, at least on the lowest difficulty, but I got to see the ending of the story which was surprisingly interesting. I’ll keep playing it from time to time, next goal is beat it on Arcade Mode.

    Started Super Mario RPG!

    So far it feels very faithful to the SNES version. If that’s a good or bad thing… it depends on who you ask.

    If you played it back in the SNES days it’s going to be a great nostalgia trip, but if you never played the original game it’s going to feel bit dated and lacking in depth. It’s a very fun game, but not sure it’s worth paying full price without the nostalgia part.

    Should be fairly close to the end, I think I’ll be able to finish it this weekend.

      Yeah, that’s what I keep hearing about Super Mario RPG, that it’s a very faithful remake. I don’t mind older games, so can’t wait to get to it soon.

      I agree with your sentiment, I love it because it was my favourite game growing up, but I feel like it would be hit or miss for someone playing for the first time.

      I’m playing it this weekend as well, STILL trying to hit 100+ super jumps.

    Advance Wars By Web

    Well, not sure if it counts, since it’s an online pvp fansite based on Advance Wars 1~2 and Dual Strike, but I’ve been playing it at least a few times every week for a while now.

      Looked it up, this looks nice.

      I haven’t played Advanced Wars yet, so going to ignore that, but after playing the game, would try it out.

    I’ve just finished Life Is Strange: True Colors. If you’ve loved 1 and BtS, you’ll also really like this. It is interesting, it is interactive, there are a lot of choices, and the world is full of little memories to find throughout your playthrough. Unfortunately the game is a little short, even by LiS standards, and some people may find the writing a little odd and abrupt in places. Personally, I’d give it an 8.5/10

          Ah, I should’ve looked it up probably. I still haven’t played the original Life Is Strange though, even though I have it in my backlog for years, so not paying attention to sequels / prequels yet. Have been thinking of starting Life Is Strange or Until Dawn these days, maybe once I finish Nioh.

    BOTW, on a kinda weird Random mode, by making a list a shrines and randomising them. Because I dunno.

      lol, that does truly sound random. 😀 But as long as you are having fun, what does it matter how you play.

        Very much so. That is the other reason I am trying to get up to date with Violet.

        I kind of took a Pokémon hiatus years ago and have not been playing current since Platinum I think. Before that I was playing every version since Leaf Green.
