Reached Rathalos in Monster Hunter Wilds. The most aggressive monster yet! I was playing with a friend and It was almost dead, but then had an issue with my connection and I dropped. Will have to fight it again. Would be fun to take him on alone, but will probably be a tough fight.

Also, does anyone else thinks that the fighting skills in Monster Hunter helps your fighting skills in soulslike? All that dodge rolls, learning the pattern, then attacking when there's an opening. They aren't exactly the same, but feel similar to me.

Reached a point in Final Fantasy XII - The Zodiac Age where it feels like I must be nearing the end, but when I was looking at the guides for jobs, people had divided the game in early game, mid game and late game, and I haven't reached the point which the defined as the start of late game, so I probably have atleast 1/3rd of the game left.

At this point my gambits are pretty well defined and normal enemies don't give much of a problem. My character do die some times, but they get revived automatically by the other characters. Things can get dicey sometimes, but overall I am just moving around and letting the characters handle the fight without any input from me.

Reached the next part of the map in Grand Theft Auto IV, and unlocked the next safehouse. Still have a major part of map unexplored so I am probably still somewhere in the start.

Failed couple of missions, and once you do you have to wait a little while before the marker appears again, then you have to go and start the mission from start. There is no quick "retry" or "restart mission" option. That's my major issue with these older games. I have become used to the modern quality of life features.

Still playing just couple of missions a day (or whenever I play) before moving on to another game. So this will probably take some time.

No Fire Emblem Three Houses this week.

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

I played and finished Mega Man 2 as a break from Fallout. I was surprised that I can still do Quick Man's stage rather easily after over 10 years. I couldn't tell you what to do, but as soon as I got there my muscle memory just KNEW where to go! A lot about the game is very good, but I will never forgive the Room Boss in Wily's Castle that needs perfect Crash Bomb deployment to prevent a soft lock.

Back in Fallout 3, there are basically three things left for me to do. The Pitt DLC, the Broken Steel story expansion and visiting all remaining major locations. Or whatever the game considers major locations that is. Some of them don't really deserve a spot on the map to be honest. I'll be tackling those first!

I didn't know what to expect but Bleach: Rebirth of Souls actually got me. I'm not really into 3D fighters and I prefer my moves to be classic quarter circle style inputs, but there is a flashiness to the game that got me really hyped. And I'm extremely impressed with Story Mode! I was expecting to be led through the most important battles and be done in a day or two, but this is the first time I've seen a game of this kind actually try to tell the story properly! There are hours upon hours of cutscenes and I'm absolutely here for that! It will actually take me weeks to get through Story Mode and that's insane!

In Monster Hunter GU, I fought Yian Kut Ku and I was very surprised to see him run much faster than he did in Wilds! I assumed the Old World games were more sluggish overall, but that doesn't seem to apply to the monsters and that worries me a bit! This weekend, I plan to tackle whatever a Nibelsnarf is. It's a fantastic name, but I've never heard of it before. I haven't decided what I'll do after him, maybe Iodrome or Daimyo Hermitaur.

I usually don't talk about my Super Nintendo journey here, but I know at least one person here might be interested to hear that I've been playing Super Robot Wars 4 lately, since the fan translation is finally complete after many years. It's always weird for me to play these, since all my knowledge of Gundam comes from other SNES games and half of those cross over with Kamen Rider and Ultraman so I have a hard time keeping track of what's what.

I really dig Nibelsnarf. Such a cool design. It's not super different or exciting or anything, but it works.

Wait, AGTP finally finished that translation? God bless Gideon Zhi, now I just need to figure out what's the best way to play this.
