Still working on Jedi Survivor.

By the Force, this game doesn't want to end.

I'm treating this as a linear action game. I've ignored the sidequests it offers, and I don't mind that there are planets I've apparently only discovered 70% of. I'm not going back there just for the sake of it. Now, the big bad guy I've been chasing around for most of the game is dealt with, and just when I was expecting the credits to roll, the game throws up a plot twist and goes along its merry way again.

There's a character switch for a while, there's the almost-obligatory Darth Vader fight , then suddenly there's a new character to chase and then he meets his untimely end thirty minutes later... It all feels like massive runtime padding, where I'd have much preferred a tighter, shorter campaign.

I thought I was finishing this game tonight, but I guess it'll be another day.
 
Finished Jedi Survivor.

All in all, I think it's a really good game. It's a shame the technical difficulties ruined its launch. The campaign could've been tighter, I think, and there are plenty of little niggles that don't suit me. But it's a great Jedi quest, with lots of cool places and cool fights. Some moments of frustration, some moments of power fantasy.

Plus, while I've ignored all the side quests, I believe Jedi Survivor has some open world qualities to it that allow you to spend a lot of time with this game. There are 26 bounties for you to catch out there. I only got two. I think they're missions to unlock from the homestead, but I chose not to bother. I can imagine coming back to both Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor some day. For now, I'm glad to have seen Jedi Survivor through.
 
Finished Wagon Age The Veilguard. Really enjoyed it. The final mission was similar to the suicide mission in ME2, and done pretty much just as well. Thought the ending was quite emotional too, capped off with a tiny romance scene after the credits. (:heart: Bellara). Thought all the companions were great. Manfred is the GOAT. Enjoyed the combat from start to finish, although some bosses are huge sponges. I liked ME Andromeda enough and this is better than that game, so at least we're seeing improvement from BIoware. The writing is not quite Origins level (although the codex has some good stuff tbh), but the companion arcs are much better than most of Bioware's previous companion stories. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't do a lot of companion stuff.

I think it's really sad how people attack this game for being "WOKE" or whatever. That is such a small part. Taash is non-binary but actually a pretty decent character overall. I give this game 8.5 salamis out of 10.
 
Black Ops 6 still keeping me entertained. Only halfway through the battlepass, but plenty of time left. I see some people are prestige master already. Either they've played +250 hours or used glitches. Not sure which is worse. I've been playing a decent amount and only prestige 2 (nearly 3).

I put STALKER 2 on hold because of some bugs that broke progression, will play again when they release the patch.

My problem with Taash is that they wrote a 20-something year old character like a 15-year old one.

Anyway my thoughts on veilguard is that they made a really good mass effect/god of war hybrid with some modern final fantasy influences, but bad dragon age game as the roleplaying aspect are not up to snuff.

So, Dragon Age Veilguard: 7/10
Brand new action game called the Veilguard: 8/10

But they got a really good formula for future games, they just need to let the player have more control over what the rook/shepard says.
 
Finished the shattered space DLC, the achievement for the final story quest had a 1.4% completion rate, and the achievement related to the side quests had a 0,4% clear rate.

Anyway, I thought it was ok, felt like it should have been included in the shipping game from the start though.
