Decided to try getting back into playing Smash Ultimate after not touching the game for like 1-2 years due to being into other crap and mind was focused on other things as well. Having a mostly near or two hour gap between college classes sure gives me time to bother trying to get back in. Also decided to get Mythra/Pyra as a bonus since I had extra pocket money. Might consider another DLC purchase too, just can't decide who.

Picked WarioWare Get it Together!

Yep, it's as wacky as you remember XD If you played Mega Microgames (back in the days), it's essentially the same idea. Each character has themed games instead of relying on motion, there is stuff to do post-game and high-score challenges return ^_^

Started a new save in Bayonetta. I just wanted to fight a few of the bosses again particularly the final one.

I finished off the Platinum for Life is Strange: True Colors, and it easily reaches the peaks of the first game. It’s also one of those games that leaves you wanting more and you wish had a few more hours instead of the other way around, which is both good and bad in a way

I beat Days Gone. I poured a lot of time into the game and it was well worth it. This is honestly one of my favorite Playstation Exclusives. It's sitting right up there with Ghosts of Tsushima.

I started on Tales of Arise a few days ago. I have to say, I'm really enjoying the story, but it's probably one of the darkest 'Tales of' games I've ever played.

No More Heroes 3.

The combat has improved immensely, the bosses are easily the best of the No More Heroes games in my opinion (there's a lot of classic Suda trolling), I like the enemy variety but do wish there were more enemy types even though it's a huge improvement over the last NMH games, and many of the minigames are fun. If you guys are looking for a hack and slash on Nintendo Switch after Astral Chain, No More Heroes 3 is great I think. Though I still like Astral Chain better. It's a Platinum Game after all, very difficult to top.

In terms of framerate, this game actually runs a buttery smooth 60 fps during combat where much of the meat of gameplay is. It's the open world that runs around 30 fps and it's okay I think, the driving is much improved that I kind of want to see what Suda would do for a racing game.

I play Pokemon X Omega Ruby and Ultra Sun on a daily pattern. Fishing for GTS trades for pokedex completon is REALLY slow.
But my 3DS has taken over my gaming life until Pokemon Brilliant Diamond shows up.
Keep in mind i never intend to delete my saves in games like Ultra Sun would be a ridiculous loss of hours. I still remember i checked my omega ruby file and it says 96 hours.

and i still hate Rotom.

The Amstrad CPC version of Atari's Road Runner via Internet Archive. It's an incredibly miserable arcade game based on the Looney Tunes characters where you're forced to collect every last piece of bird seed left on the road (and I do mean, every last one of them) while Wile E Coyote chases after you.

Not only are the controls super stiff but the difficulty feels super unfair which makes the game very one sided as Wile E will almost always catch you. It's guaranteed that you'll miss a lot of the bird seed too since you have to keep away from Wile E and the second level was just utter bull-crap which forced me to give up.

I bet we've all wanted to be like the Road Runner one day but if it's as super annoying as this, maybe I'll pass thanks.

I finished Trails of Cold Steel 1 last night. Overall I did enjoy this game. I really did. The story was what kept me going for the most part. Plus it's just so much like the Persona series it's scary lol.

I struggled way too much with this game but I was told, repeatedly, that the first game in this franchise is the hardest so we'll see if that's true or not. Regardless I always ended up persevering eventually. The final couple of bosses in the game were a breeze. Which was nice considering the almost-impossible BS I ended up dealing with for the final Old Schoolhouse boss. Hopefully this won't happen with any of the other games. But again we'll see.

Either way I hate cliffhanger endings and I was planning on doing this anyway (because I already knew the first game had a cliffhanger ending beforehand). I'll be playing the next game in the series, Trails of Cold Steel II (2) as soon as possibly tonight. I'm hoping I won't struggle as much with this one and it'll be a lot easier. I guess I'll find out.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack (Nintendo DS) (abandoned)

1.5/5

Surprisingly I managed to reach the final level despite wanting to abandon it after only four levels, but after seeing everything this game has to offer I soon got bored and decided to finally drop it for good.

Christ, this is one boring soulless little game that tries oh so desperately to harken back to the days of the classic TMNT arcade games but doesn't have a single shred of personality or charm to back it up.

Just go play the old Konami classics instead of this cheap crappy cash in wannabe.

Nice comic book style cutscenes though.

Hmm... by "the first game in this franchise is the hardest", do they mean Cold Steel 1, or Sky 1? Because Cold Steel is one arc in the larger Trails franchise that starts with Sky -- and if you haven't heard this elsewhere, most people will recommend that you play the earlier games before you move on to Cold Steel 3. At any rate, 1 probably is the hardest of the Cold Steel games... but I don't think any of them are especially hard, as they all have easily breakable game mechanics. Also, I thought the Sachsen boss was by far the hardest in the game (along with the very last boss, although that's more of a puzzle boss).

Actually, even though I say this, I still haven't played the Sky or Crossbell games (personally, I feel that the need to play them before moving on to Cold Steel 3 is exaggerated, but maybe I just don't know any better). Maybe I'll make Sky the next game I play... I had been planning on doing them and Crossbell back-to-back before Reverie releases, but all of those are still years out and have a lot of time between them (thanks, NISA!), so there's no real merit in waiting like that.

I finally built a gaming PC, so I've been playing New World. The only negative thing so far that I've seen are the server queue times. I expected issues with queue times, though. Usually new MMO's always have these issues at launch. The game itself is nice. Great graphics, I like the combat system. The crafting system is very good and it's not complicated at all. So far so good to me!

Managed to get my old DSTwo Supercard from childhood working again, might as well try to play some old DS classics. And yes I have no shame and will do this no matter what considering DS games are no longer in production and are notoriously expensive and hard to obtain nowadays.

Thanks for nothing Nintendo.
