Stuck at the next boss in Darksiders 3. It's a very gimmiky boss. First half is simple-ish, though not actually easy, but when you get the boss' health to half, it moves into phase two, which is under water fight. The gimmick is to swim and bring the homing bombs / mines to the boss, but only when it is sucking in the water, which happens after a specific series of attack, and meanwhile you have to make sure the bombs don't hit you. Having trouble here, took me quite a while to clear the first phase, and can't get the proper hang of second phase.

All the skills I have learned in the game, and the "git gud" (gitten gud?) I have done doesn't matter cause of this gimmicky fight, which is annoying. If I drop this game, this is probably where I'll do it.


Reached Arabaia in Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. Doing the dungeon right now. Should be halfway through the area.


Tom Clancy's The Division: Did all the missions till level 16, time to do some side missions to level up before doing the next missions. I would love a single-player, non-ubisoft-design game in the world of Division. The world building, the visuals, the gameplay (other than spongy enemies) and even the UI, all are pretty good. Just not a big fan of the live service style of game.


Doing the last chapter of Campaign in Hard West. Still have the prequel chapter, and 4 side chapters left though. Prioritizing this now, as I want to start Pokopia after I am done with it. It will probably still take a week or so.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I've mostly been playing Visions of Mana. It's rather average so far, carried mostly by my nostalgia for the series. I hope the gameplay gets a little more depth, I've been hoping for more after the banger that was the Trials of Mana remake. But I still find it enjoyable enough.


After some delays, I beat Arch-Tepmered Arkveld in Monster Hunter Wilds. I don't think I've ever mentioned this, but I go into all of these battles all by myself for the first hunt and only bring Support Hunters for the grind afterwards. My time in Monster Hunter Tri almost 20 years ago ended poorly with the final boss, Alatreon, only being available in the multiplayer environment. It didn't really give me any chance to learn, so I was always the reason the hunt failed. That is why I fight everything solo first now, because you can really only learn the attack patterns when the monster is actually targeting you. It's basically 50% honor and 50% trauma.


I got used to Fallout 3 it's now in gamplay loop mode. Exploring, doing quests, bombing an ant into the geometry to stretch it into a twitchy eldritch abomination... everything you'd expect, except the main quest. Too much to do!

From what I recall hearing about Visions of Mana was that it's a good game, but not a great game. Though haven't played it myself yet.

Wow, congratulations on beating Arch-Tempered Arkveld! I also play solo, though my reasoning is that I am not a good player, and don't like dragging down my team, also don't like being carried, you don't get to enjoy the game properly. So, solo works well. At least as far as I can go 😀

You are making me miss Fallout! Don't do that. I have too many other games to play!
