Re: What Are You Playing? (June 2023)
I have FF16 preordered, I’m eyeing Sonic Origins Plus, and I’m sure I’ll grab Street Fighter 6 one of these days, but…errr, who knows if I’ll even finish TotK in June? No point in stocking up too heavily.

Recently Finished:
Resident Evil 4 Remake (PS5) RE4 was always one of my least favorite RE games and I would always get bored and never finished it the multiple times I played the Gamecube and 360 versions. This Remake was fantastic though. It's been a good year for remakes.
Currently Playing:
The Callisto Protocol (PS5)

Re: What Are You Playing? (June 2023)
I’ve had this sitting on the shelf for a few months and finally fired it up. It’s a roguelite 2D-beat-‘em-up, and even on the lowest difficulty, the bosses can be pretty punishing. I’m sure I’d have a very different reaction if I were playing it solo, but it’s a blast in multiplayer. This was my first attempt buying DLC from another region, so I’m playing as one of the Riders while my wife is Godzilla. Despite not having successfully cleared a level yet, I can’t wait to do another run or two. I’ve avoided roguelites/roguelikes up till now, and maybe that was a mistake.

Haven't been playing much this year. Played Uncharted 4 earlier in the year and kinda took a break to catch up on some books. However I decided to pop in Tiny Tina (which I bought on BF). I skipped BL3 so it's been since the 360 that I played any Borderlands. Man I'm having a blast.

Far Cry New Dawn
Not really any different than Far Cry 5, which I enjoyed (apart from the endless bad guy ramblings). The only thing I miss is having two guns for hire, and the dialogue between them. I kept two randos in my hire just because they were hilarious talking to each other.

For a series that has always been a bit dark and brooding, they really went all in on the dark this time Surprisingly fun entry into the franchise, but barely clinging onto the JRPG/RPG genre.

Re: What Are You Playing? (June 2023)
I thought June might come to an end without me having finished a game, but with less than 6 hours to go, I got one on the books: SD Shin Kamen Rider Rumble. My wife and I started a run to start grinding for upgrades, but we wound up playing through the entire game (without dying!).
I was really hoping to be done with Tears of the Kingdom. At this point, I think I just want to max out my armor and take out Ganondorf, leaving a few temples and a bunch of side quests/missions.

I keep hearing people say this but I'm not sure what they're talking about since it has pretty much every single thing in it that I associate with a JRPG (levelling up, new weapons and accessories that you can upgrade, upgradable spells and skill trees, NPC's that you talk with, quests and side quests, loot after battles). The only thing missing from FFXVI that you typically see in a JRPG is a set party that you have control of but that's not something that is in every JRPG.
That said, it's a ton of fun and very involving, so it isn't much of a complaint.
