I’ve fallen back down the rabbit hole for Stardew Valley. I haven’t played since the new update from last year, and I’m having the best time planting new seeds, prize tickets (sorry Lewis for the amount of time I storm into your house 😅) and mystery boxes. I haven’t even found half of all the new stuff, so I’m occupied until Pirate Yakuza with my boi next week.

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Failed Because It Wasn't Live Service, EA CEO Seems to Suggest

Hmmm not quite sure on that point Mr Ceo, I would like to keep some games as single player.

As some have already stated and for which I share the same sentiment, the writing was just not good. It was bland and most of the companions had the personality of spoons.

The locations had some pretty moments, but there wasn’t much exploration and some very weird pacing moments and story beats - nobody can do anything themselves, and it’s entirely the player characters fault when something happens and nobody else!!!!. (Sorry still slightly mad over that)

The only good idea was to keep it from being a live service game, granted after several rounds of teams.

I’m a massive Dragon age fan and Veilguard sadly to me felt like a cheap knock off. Whether or not it gets picked back up in the future only time can tell. I hope at least EA learn from the continued failures, but I think from previous experience this won’t happen.

I’ve got the next few days off work, so I’m looking forward to getting AC:Revelations platinum after getting Brotherhood’s last week - several years late 🤣. Apart from that I’m gonna head back into Ace attorney investigations collection; to get the clean sweep. Happy gaming everyone.

I’m stuck at the moment of what to start next. I finished Veilguard a few days ago and generally enjoyed my time with it. However I don’t know what to play next, I’ve started Baldurs Gate 3 numerous times but can’t seem to stay absorbed enough. I might give it another go. In the meantime I’m playing Sims 4 for background noise really whilst I catch up on some podcasts.
