Finished Chapter 3 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. I was trying to do the side missions before going for the story mission but had very high level enemies around, so after trying that for a while, went for the main mission.

Have just started chapter 4. Going to explore and do the side content now.

Also played some Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Game is progressing well, but I think I'll get tried or bored of it. Just not feeling much enjoyment playing it.

I shared most of my feelings a few back, but one annoying aspect I missed was loot system. Each companion has their own loot, which I find a bit annoying. In DA: Inquisition, I played as fighter, but any non-fighter equipment, or light / medium armor I had, I equipped it to my companions, even heavy armor that I wasn't wearing went to them, same with weapons. But now all that extra loot is useless. Feels very restrictive in an RPG, and it made me lose interest in loot quickly enough.

Well, that's about me, what about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I started Super Mario Galaxy on Nintendo Switch. Never played it before, and the touch controls are not really my cup of tea, but I'll give it some time.

Is that in the limited-release 3-in1 game? Or is Galaxy playable some other way?

[–] Noerknhar@feddit.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it's that collection 3-in-1 thing. Not sure it is limited tho.

[–] ladel@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice. Yeah, it was only available for about 6 months.

On March 31, 2021, physical copies of 3D All-Stars were discontinued, and the game was delisted from the Nintendo eShop.

You can play Super Mario 64 on the N64 emulator, and in the future, Sunshine on the GC emulator, but being able to play Galaxy again might be a while off.

You are absolutely right! I remember now, that's why I bought it - FOMO got me that time.

Having said that, I'm playing docked now and the motion controls are okay that way. The game actually is quite nice!
