Finished Metroid Prime: Remastered!
Shared my issues in last week’s thread, nothing else to add here except I hated those Fission Metroids, most annoying enemies in the game.
Waiting for Prime 2 remastered now. Would probably get day-1.
Started Pankapu, a colourful and shiny 2D platformer. Have only played a little bit, but seems fun.
Finished Rise of the Tomb Raider.
It was a really good game. I am surprised that it’s about 10 years old now. Next is Shadow of the Tomb Raider, will probably play it later this year. I have heard Rise is the best of the trilogy, so going to adjust my expectations accordingly, but still looking forward to it.
Also played and finished Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. It was a pretty short campaign, probably around 6-7 hours. I had heard great things about the campaign, but I thought it was just okay. Good, but not the best campaign ever. Though, to be fair, this is a game from 2007, and I haven’t played many FPS games recently, so I am not sure what the benchmark is.
I liked the missions and the gameplay, and thought it was over pretty quick. I have also Modern Warfare 2 remastered, so will give it a try soon-ish.
So, what about all you? What have you been playing?
So far so good, only got a few hours in, and I was VERY frustrated with the game crashing. I’ve heard other people with the Launch version of the XBox Series X are having similar issues. I was averaging a crash every 30 min or so. Thanks to autosave, I rarely lost much progress, and the game boots quickly, so it wasn’t too much down time, but it’s annoying as hell.
It’s close enough to Skyrim, that I felt like I knew exactly what to do, but it’s different enough, that most of the time, I don’t actually know what to do. I’m still learning the differences between the leveling and equipment systems and which enemies need to be avoided.
Just this morning: “oh, there’s a skeleton outside of town, I’ll just pick him off with my bow.” 60 seconds later: Kai is dead, there’s a rain of arrows falling on me, and the skelemans heal faster than I can kill them. Who knew?
