Topic: Now Playing on Xbox Series X|S

So I am about to wrap up Suikoden, I got one more person to recruit which is story based and then the finally part. After that I want to start Suikoden II since I never played it. I am not sure how long it will take me but I am hoping to finish that up and then start Mafia the Old Country and finish that all before Borderlands 4 comes out cause once that does that game will have my full attention.

@Tasuki Oh good luck man. Write ups would be cool if you have time for that

I just bought Mafia: The Old Country and Mafia: The Old Country and MindsEye. I have to say MindsEye is nowhere near as bad as some make out

Can't wait for Outer Worlds 2

@TeamAndromeda

Same here.

A shame that Vicar Max will not be returning.

Suikoden II. Going to be starting this today and hopefully I can finish it off before Borderlands 4 releases. Not sure how long it will take me as I never played Suikoden II before.

@Tasuki Good luck man.

Got a bit farther in Suikoden II. I got through my first dungeon and defeated the first major boss which of course is nothing really, just really a warm up and for you to learn about the game. I got to my home town and of course for reasons I left for my journey.

I have to say I am noticing the improvement overs Suikoden alot. The graphics are a bit better, crisper,.sharper and the music is just as fantastic. I noticed some QoL improvements such as able to equip armor.once you buy it and not have to leave the shop and open sub menus to do it. Shop keepers have now a rare item for sale which is nice. Overall it feels like a true evolution from Suikoden like every is saying. So far the story seems good but I am only a few hours into it. Definitely looking forward to playing more in the upcoming days.

Due to the hype of Borderlands 4 I went back to Borderlands 3 so that way I can finish the story before playing 4.

@Tasuki. Good luck man. I you make the Borderland story to the end .

Still playing through Boderlands 3. I am still on Eden-6 but I feel like I almost done with this planet. Right now I just hit level 33 on my Siren.

So I am finally done with Eden-6 in Borderlands 3. Finally got all the vault pieces and opend the vault there and fought the creature there. The battle wasn't to hard, mostly pattern based and if you just payed attention to it it was easy enough. My final thoughts on Eden-6 was I liked the atmosphere alot. The swamp, bayou, Louisiana feel to it was enjoyable. Them mansion was fun to explore. Like most of this game they didnt need to make your time on Eden-6 as long as they did. They could have easily told their just by having you get the full vault key rather then break it into 3 pieces. They only storyline worth telling was the Jakobs one.

Anyway after the Calypso Twins kidnapped Tannis, it looks like I am back to Pandora.

Continuing with Borderlands 3. I am still on Pandora and making my way through Splinterlands. Just wrapped up the side missions before I hit the main one. Also did some exploring to get the Typhoon Logs and such. Next time I will be continuing on with the main story.

I feel like I am so close to finishing off Borderlands 3. I finally got to the Great Vault and finished Troy off and all that's left is Tyreen, I think. Unfortunately I had to stop for the night since I got work tomorrow. Hopefully I get some time tomorrow to finish the main story.

Think It might be time to give up on silksong. I've put in only about 7 or 8 hrs and still in act 1, and feel like im barely making progress with each playthrough. I almost never have Rosarie beads to buy maps or benches since I die so often. I think its just one of those games ill never be good at and will just waste my time unfortunately. Nothing against the game itself, its just a me problem. Too little time on my hands to keep playing the same route over and over again just to keep dying and inching forward a smidge.

@NintendoByNature It sucks when you invest time in a game and then you feel forced to give up, but the sooner the better. I would have done the same thing. I just haven't played it and will not. I tried Blue Prince and I gave up, because the invested time was not that enjoyable and the game is basically a loop of trial and error. Game of the year for some, though.

I posted about this. I'm playing Final Fantasy XIII Lighting Returns. I played the other two a few years ago. I hated this third entry at first, but once I got the hang of it, I started loving it. The world is wonderful to explore, looks awesome (on Series X) and the side quests are interesting and not overwhelming. It also adds more to the story of XIII which I consider great.

@Banjo- yea for sure. Like you said though, at least I didn't put 20+ hrs in only to give up. Ill take my losses at 8hrs, I'm good with that.

Has anyone played Robocop unfinished business yet? The first game was great, but I'd like to hear some personal thoughts about the second game as its on sale atm.

@NintendoByNature Its on my list though pretty far down, not because its bad but just because I have other games before it that I want to play first. Right now I am about to finish Borderlands 3 and then after that its Borderlands 4 and Mafia Old Country.

Now that I cut down my Gamepass and wont be getting day one releases I will be getting to my backlog alot sooner.
