Playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, did lots of side missions (green ones) that I had started before but hadn't finished. Still have quite a few of them left though.

It's nice to see how the city evolves with our actions.

Also started Chapter 11, want to say some spoilery stuff about that, but want to finish the chapter first see how they deal with it.

Chapter 11 story

but if they redeemed you-know-who without giving a VERY solid reason, I am going to be very annoyed by the story.

I am still annoyed how Murderess joins our team after how she behaved, instead of getting any kind of punishment.

Chapter 11 brings you to skell-less fighting, and since I was used to beating everyone in few seconds, it feels so slow to kill people without skell now. And there are tons of enemies to fight there, so thinking about loading my previous save and leveling up a bit more before coming back to it.

Also played more Marvel's Midnight Suns and Ghost of Tsushima, but nothing new to add about either of them.

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

Xenoblade Chronicles 3

I started a New Game + on Switch 2, and while it doesn’t have a resolution or graphical update (please, Nintendo), it now never has a frame dip so it does feel better to play.

This game is still probably my favorite of the last generation. I love these characters to death. It’s fun to see the story again from the start knowing where it’s going and to also to absolutely stomp everything because I started at level 88.

But yeah, the story is awesome, and it makes me have real feelings in a way basically no other game has done. So good.

XC3 is my favourite game of the series, and one of my favourite game overall. Haven't tried the NG+, but it sounds fun!

I ended up spending the $40 or whatever to get the Mio and Noah Amiibo, and they are sitting on my desk right now.

I’m so sad I didn’t get the steelbook case for the game when I had the chance. I had waffled because while I like XC2, it was just OK for me. I don’t know if I wanted to spend the extra money on the steelbook at the time. XC3 is in my top five favorite games, too, now.

I also got those, I love Xenoblade too much. The only Amiibo's I've ever bought are the Noah/Mio and Pyra/Mythra pairs.

Should probably grab a Shulk one as well since they still appear to be available.

That reminds me that I do have Shulk as well. I had just moved recently, and a lot of those things are still in a box.

Honestly, the Shulk may have better detail than the Noah and Mio. But I love Noah and Mio a little bit more anyway 🙂.

Now, the real question... Elma amiibo when? 😃

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow, I wanted those but couldn't get them at the time. They are on my wishlist, if they are ever available at official price again.

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You might try Ebay if it's available where you are.

I just did a quick search and found some ~$30 which I think was around the MSRP.

Let me check. Thanks for the tip.
