It is with a heavy heart... that I announce that I have officially dropped Balan Wonderworld. This piece of **** game (which is putting it nicely) really is as bad as everyone claimed it to be. It really is.

I hate having to do this too. I really do. Because this is just not something I do. It really isn't. I tend to finish what I start. But I just couldn't with this. I really couldn't. I don't even remember the last time I did this... it's very possible I've never done this. EVER. So what does that tell you? Exactly.

I could go on and on about how bad this game is. But to make this as short as possible... nothing in this game makes sense. Period. It really doesn't. This is not how platformers are supposed to work. It's an absolute NIGHTMARE for collectibles, especially for someone like me who likes to get, or try to get, them. I hate it when people are right. I really do. I hate being in the 'majority' but clearly everyone is right. Doesn't make the situation or make me feel any better.

So whose to blame? It's not 100% Square Enix like everyone wants to point to. Yuji Naka is known to be unbelievably nitpicky and difficult to work with. So, for me at least, it's 50/50 between him and Square Enix. So I don't want to hear that it was fully Square Enix. That's BS. But whatever. The fact that this finally happened to me, and with this, tells you all you need to know really.

Last time this happened... I found a replacement. But I had money to do so at that time. I don't now. So everything just moves up. I took a little bit of a 'break' to recover from this. Nier Replicant is up next for me and it may start as soon as tonight. If I feel like it I guess. I may need more time. We'll see.

From what I hear Balan wasn't even a result of a lot of restrictions or development hell, just some intentional but really, really bad design decisions

Xbox: Dead Space 2023 (NG+), Kameo(Rare Replay)
Switch: Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Since last post, i finally finished Dead Space. Now I'm playing New game plus for the Secret Ending. Already read about it, but there's an achievement for it :D Also set it to Story Difficulty so i can get the Plasma Cutter achievement.

Kameo is to get more "Stamps" for Rare Replay, I'll get all of them some day ;)

Also started and Finished Ty the Tasmanian Tiger HD. Recently Found out it had 3 sequels, though only the first 2 games are on Xbox

The main one is Zelda TotK though. I'm definitely not creative enough for what i've seen, but i can still do Breath of the Wild style.

Mostly TotK but I’m throwing in some SV and Metroid Dread in the mix and still doing my daily check ins for New Horizons and Pokemon Cafe.
