The Gaming Diary: Chapter 3

Started Mario + Rabbids.  Great game, definitely recommend.

Finished Arc the Lad and now coasting.  Good game, but it really is set up so that you play the sequel after (which I am not ready to do yet).

I'll probably hit up the low hanging fruit on my "Finish in 2021" list, which is games in several NES comps.  So next will be Mega Man 2 (from Mega Man Collection on Steam), then finish two games in Disney Afternoon Collection

Mario Tennis (GBC) - Wife and kids all had dental appointments yesterday and so I had me several matches of Mario Tennis in the car

I've been playing mostly on my Xbox One S for the past 6 months. It's my most recent console (which I bought at a great price).

At the beginning of the year I started playing Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet. A decent game, fairly fun combat system. Customizing the character's skill points, gear, etc. is the best part of the game. I'm not that fond of the "story" aspect so far - a bit too weird / contrived for my tastes.

I took a break from Fatal Bullet and got into Stellaris. What a game! I only played half a dozen or so games and spent 60 hours, which felt like half that time. Truly the mark of a great game. The type of game where I could easily see myself spending 500+ hours. That said, using the Xbox controller becomes quite limited towards end game, when you have dozens of stations and planets.

After "finishing" Stellaris I started Burnout Paradise Remastered. Solid racing game. I played all the way until the "Burnout" license. To get the final license (Burnout Elite, I believe) you need to win too many races, so I decided to call it quits. Perhaps I'll revisit to do the Big Island content.

This week I continued with Fatal Bullet and will play that until I get bored or start another game.

Meanwhile I'm playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Wii, but need to spend more time on it to be honest.

Grand Theft Auto III (PS2) - I've just been cruising around listening to the tunes and letting the nostalgia wash over me.

Band Hero (PS2) - Just acquired this so began playing this with the kids on mic and myself on guitar.

Donkey Kong 64 (N64) - Played waay too much multiplayer last night with all four of us trying to knock each other off of the platform. I never really gave the multiplayer much thought in this game and now I'm glad I did!

Beat Mario + Rabbids!

Monopoly (PS2) - Finally had a win in this yesterday, but the kids want to play with this today.

[shaggy]

Started Luigi's Mansion 3 and so far so good.

Twisted Metal 2 (PS) - Wife and I ended up playing this last night once the kids went to bed. Love playing as my boy Axel!

I have just finished playing the classic Bomberman game(Dendy), a nice game. By the way, I played this game on my phone, it is available on Google Play and it's free.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (PS2) - Finally played this again last night. I still need to unlock a few more songs though.

Almost done with Dragon Quest Builders on the PS4, on the last Chapter, Chapter 4.  Not a bad game but a bit repetitive.

I'm playing the Legend of Mana remake on Switch and I'm having a great time.
