@Tjuz@Gunnerzaurus I have just bought the HZD remaster and I also purchased the 2nd game and the burning shores expansion so I'll be taking those 2 on. Already played HZD but I'll replay it again as it is such a great game.
So after a week hiatus from gaming and then about 10 hours of side quests later I'm actually back on the main questline of Mass Effect 1
I rescued Liara T'soni (well I actually did that before the side content) and am partway through Novaria? (The labs/snowy planet).
... Yes I am still enjoying it.
I wouldn't go out my way to say it's the bee's knees like most people do (I am still relatively early on in after all in the first title of a trilogy) but I am enjoying it more then I did Dragon Age Origins (I hate to keep bringing it up but it's my only other Bioware comparison).
I have had a couple of bugs revolving the game. I fell through an elevator and one VERY minor side quest bugged out, completing it early but other then that it's been rather smooth sailing!
As for my thoughts on my teammates?
Ashley sucks, she can go get shoved out an airlock.
Kaiden's... Okay I guess? I don't find him that interesting yet but he's not bad.
Garrus is fine? I'm gonna use him a bit more now though as I mainly used him at the beginning and have been rotating the other in to get the 5 missions trophies.
Wrex is pretty cool. Really quite like him. I wish I had 3 party member slots to include him more often.
Tali is adorkable, i love her and I'm devastated I can't romance her as femshep. I do wish her visor was completely opaque though and didn't reveal she's just basically human under her cool helmet.
Liara is... Well she got really forward really quickly and I might somehow be in a relationship with her despite doing nothing? Gonna be honest I'm not a fan of the Asari's design and their weird slicked back head spike things.
Tried the Dead Space remake. Despite the fact it has to have been a good few years since I played the original, I very quickly bounced off the remake as it felt very very similar to the point that I was just sorta like ‘I’ve played this before’. Probably an unfair analysis but I’ve put a pin in it until I’ve forgotten more of the game.
Started playing Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. I've been waiting years to start this one up as I've waited until I have better hardware and all the DLCs, which I now have. The game is fantastic and heavily reminiscent of Odyssey as I expected. It doesn't seem like it'll be as epic as Odyssey and the setting isn't that interesting due to the lack of historical places. I mean, one appeal of AC for me has always been to explore a historical period and see what certain places looked like back then. But seeing as how this setting isn't particularly known for having famous historical places, it won't be as appealing to explore in this game compared to Origins and Odyssey.
One cool thing is that you have to go out and find abilities in order to unlock them. Previously, there wasn't much incentive to explore as weapons, armour and other equipment could be found in abundance. But it feels like they've dialed that down a lot in this game on top of making abilities something you'll have to find, therefore making exploration more worthwhile. I'm also playing the game on "Pathfinder" exploration difficulty in order to make the experience as immersive as possible.
It's going to be a long game, but I can tell I'm already hooked to it as I've played it for numerous hours today. I'm really excited to keep playing it!
I'm about 17 hours into Dragon Age Veilguard, and the world is starting to open up. Side quests, companion quests, and faction quests are emerging. Exploration is fun and incredibly rewarding. I'm really shocked by how great this game is.
@LtSarge 😅 I guess that's what really got to the Romans. "Just pack up lads, nothing to see up here" 😛
I'll let you discover things naturally, anyway. It's just tickled me because there's a whole heap of history happening at that time, which you will find out about soon enough, and there's also the remnants of the history that came before that time period too.
If you want something to listen to alongside the game to compliment it, there's a lot about the ways of that time period, the sons of Ragnar, Danelaw and all kinds of 'Vikings' mixing with Saxons in "The British History Podcast" which you can get free on Spotify. The Sons of Ragnar is probably a good place to start as it's pretty much leading into the same time period as the game is set/loosely based on.
From my last post on the previous page of the topic I've done all the side quests. All of 'em. Spent way too many hours cleaning up those checklists for stuff like minerals, medallions, writings and all sorts.
Main plot wise I finished the snow planet. Saved the Rachni queen. Then did the colony planet. I did not expect plant zombies to be a part of this game, even if there already was machine zombies lol.
I'm on the beach planet at Saren's secret base and managed to talk down Wrex. It's going good just gonna do the assault on the base now.
... I'll be honest I was expecting more party interactions or conversations I could have with my crew. It has been rather lacking in that part and the side quests for them has been rather rubbish too.
I think I'm nearing the end of the game now? Feels like only maybe one world left? Still enjoying it!
@HallowMoonshadow Will you be going straight into the second game? The changes are quite substianal, and feels more like an action RPG. Plus the Mako is a lot better to drive and the side characters are more fleshed out.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Not right away @JohnnyShoulder I learned my lesson playing Trails Of Cold Steel 2 right after 1 and got burn out hard plus doing all of ME1's side content has me already got me a bit exhausted.
I'll probably start up Baldur's Gate III finally and maybe do the first act or so before I then start up ME2? But I will be carrying on with the trilogy for sure in die time.
I’ve just done a few companion quests in Dragon Age Veilguard. I’m now working on a few faction quests and getting to know my party members more. I’m loving this game.
It's been quite a busy morning for me with Elden Ring, after a bit of farming I got my Greatsword up to +15, leveled Vigor up to 40 and upgraded the Jellyfish Spirit Ashes to +1 .So that's my build almost halfway complete. I'll try out Silent Hill 2 Remake for a bit tomorrow, to take a break from the farming.

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN I came really close to firing up RE4 yesterday when my frustrations on a certain area of the DS2 DLC were high. I left an update over on the Souls thread, but in the end I persevered to get over that area and move on. So it was not so much needing a break from monotony, as much as needing a break from the difficulty spike. 😄
