Finished Like A Dragon: Gaiden and am about to start Cocoon. Also bought Divinity OS 1 and 2 in the Black Friday sales to play over the Christmas break as a warm up for BG3.
Got bored with Starfield after 40+ hours and have dropped it to play Like A Dragon Gaiden instead. Also just started the original Castlevania after picking up the Anniversary Collection for a few dollars on Black Friday. The closest I've ever gotten to playing a Castlevania game is Vampire Survivors so this is a new experience for me.
The writing and characters are flatter than a pancake. I'm playing AC Valhalla at the same time and for a franchise that's been overexposed to death the writing and characters are 10 times better and more interesting than Starfield.
Still ploughing through the UC quest line in Starfield. The dialogue in this game is facile and immersion breaking. I don't really want to have deep and meaningful conversions about my companion's feelings in the middle of a firefight with Terrormorphs.
Starfield - have decided to forego base building and system exploration and surveying and instead concentrate on main and faction quests. I don't think I want to play this for 100 hours so will concentrate on the missions.
PS5: Disco Elysium. Bought it last week on sale and have only just started. Have heard great things about the game.
XSX: Starfield. Enjoying it so far. Have completed the first 5 main missions to get to the point where the story opens up. Have yet to touch base or ship building.
Switch: Metroid Prime Remastered. I've been 80-85% complete for a few weeks now. May try to push through and finish it off as I bought Xenoblade Chronicles 3 a few months ago and am itching to get to it.

Like A Dragon Gaiden while trying to stay out of hostess bars.

Have just started Like A Dragon Gaiden while playing Starfield in the background.
Re: Starfield Fails To Make Shortlist For 'Game Of The Year' At The Game Awards 2023
I'm about a third of the way through Starfield and am starting to fall off. Not surprised it's not nominated for GOTY.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 11-12)
Finished the UC quest line in Starfield and will probably put it on the back burner to play Like A Dragon Gaiden.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 4-5)
@The-Grezzly-Bear - might try the game pass picker thing as well to change things up a bit.

Starfield - working my way through the UC faction missions and have just got my UC citizenship. Woohoo.

3. Origins
4. AC 2
5. Unity
6. Syndicate
7. AC 4
8. AC 1

Pretty good month with P5T and LAD Gaiden.

Re: Eight Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass In Late September 2023
Finished Weird West a few weeks ago so timed that well.
@Spider-Kev I'm pretty sure it's been on GamePass for at least a year.

Re: Gallery: Here's A Closer Look At The New & Old Graphics In Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered
I remember spending forever finishing TR3 and the sheer relief every time I found a save game crystal.
Re: Starfield 'Children Of The Sky' Music Video Is Here, And It's Giving Us The Chills
Sounds like a Eurovision song.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 19-20)
XSX - just finished Weird West and now waiting for Starfield.
Switch - pushing through to complete Metroid Prime Remastered. Reckon I'm about 75% done.
PS5 - need to get back to HFW which has been on hold for a few weeks.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 5-6)
Weird West (XSX) - have finished the first of five character arcs. It's giving me OG Fallout vibes.
Metroid Prime Remastered (Switch) - about two thirds of the way through. Took me a while to get in to it but now really enjoying it.
Horizon: Forbidden West (PS5) - I'm at the point where the world really opens up and need to start giving it some more attention.
