Had to go somewhere yesterday so couldn't post it on time, but better late than never.

Playing Greedfall on PS5.

I mentioned weak combat last week, but I have gotten used to it now. My companions keep dying though, they kill a few but often end up dead, specially my tank. But with some upgrades, I can just dodge around and keep attacking with my magic missile, so not too bad.

One good thing about the game is, when you are switching from one region to next, you end up in a campsite (which work as a hidden loading screen), allowing you to update equipment of all your companions (even the one not in party), put away anything good, and sell everything else. Means you don't have to worry about not getting over-encumbered before you reach another town.

Finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All. That last episode was something else. Probably the strongest one in the series yet. It was also great to see the character progression. Still have one game left in the trilogy, but will play it later.

Played and finished Raging Justice. A side scroller brawler. I liked the art style, though the moving animation is bit weird, but nothing too bad. It was a fun game, though a bit difficult at times, as you get tons of enemies at once. Had to use 3-4 continues, but finished the game. You can replay using different characters or play the "Brawl" mode, which is basically an Arcade mode where enemies keep coming in waves. This was released before the current resurgence of brawlers like Street of Rage 4 or TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, and frankly isn't as good as those, but if you have already played those and want to try another side-scroller, it's a pretty good one.

Played and finished Ape Out. Like Raging Justice this has been on my wishlist for quite a while, so just picked it up. It's a bit like Hotline Miami, but you are an ape, so you can't use weapons. You can only attack, or hold the people as shield. The visuals are really gerat, very minimal but very impactful. Trailers don't do justice to the game. Same goes with the sound, it's Jazz-ish, I think. Highly recommended to every one to at least try the demo.

Currently playing Earthlock. It's a JRPG, but with modern visuals. I have only played it a little bit yet, so can't say much about it. The games has a demo that carry overs the save, so if you want, you can check it out.

With all those games, didn't get much time for Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter , but I think I am very close to end of the first chapter. It's nice to see meet the people from first game, and visit those locations again. But not much to say about this either. Will try to focus on this one this week. Though I do want to finish my current Switch game (Earthlock) before the release of Zelda. So let's see.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

I think rumours about them being magnetic stem from the patent they filed a few years ago. Bigger could mean more ergonomic, so that could be good.

The company announced that Xbox version will be delayed (PC and PS5 versions are releasing in few days).

Community asked about it, whether it's PS5 exclusive. They said it's because Xbox isn't responding to them for 2 months. Their game is ready but delay is because of Xbox. He also said few other things. (Check this post and comments for more details: https://lemmy.world/post/19357417)

Apparent Xbox contacted them after that, and here we are.

This feels weird to me. If there's a deal, Sony should be shouting (timed, PS5 Console) Exclusive! Specially when people have been constantly complaining about lack of current-gen exclusives.

They have released a statement thanking Phil Spenser and team. Posted it as a separate post.

Oooh, nice! Witcher 3 is pretty good, and your setup sounds pretty nice. Do play both the expansions as well, after finishing the game.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

There are less than 25000 copies sold. Less than 1000 people online at peak time. So, difficult to find matches for the players, yet Sony would liable to keep the servers up, and keep the devs working on the planned roadmap, which would be costing them a lot more than anything remotely close to what they earned.

So, better to just issue refund, shut down the servers, and get devs to do something that has a chance to earn them something.

Good for the devs!

I agree that it feels whiny and petty. As I mentioned in other comment, they are an indie studio, and probably spent their own (significant) amount of money (and resources) and just had an outburst when they were feeling completely helpless.

When your every message doesn't go through a PR team, both the good and the bad shows.

Again, this is just speculation though. For all we know, they messed up something on their side, which broke the communication with MS.

Has anyone here played Astroneer? Is there any campaign for it, or just do whatever you want?

There is also WitchSpring3 [Re:Fine] - The Story of Eirudy available on Switch (released on August 2021). Found out about it cause WitchSpring R looked interesting and looked up more info about it. Though, according to reviews, WitchSpring R is better in every aspect.
