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 X continued to take up all the time I spend gaming. Got a bit carried away with side stuff and reached Lv 40, currently inbetween Chapter 6 and 7.

Just got my Skell too, but I honestly don't like them much. Ground combat feels more dynamic, Skells don't level in any way and the hefty repair cost doesn't match my playstyle of stat checking every living thing I come across. Probably why I'm so overleveled.

Just like in the WiiU version, it will probably get relegated to cheesy grinding tactics, if necessary, and flying.

How are you level 40? I am at Chapter 11, and I've hardly reached level 44!

My equipment is filled with EXP augments. You can get these preinstalled from the shop, they get better when you level up the Sakura manufacturer. Or you can craft the 40% one quite cheap early on only using material tickets. Set one to each piece of armor for a grand total of at least 200% extra. (It may be capped at a 100%, they are so cheap, I never bothered testing).

My teammates are only lv 33, I didn't given them any.

The other ingredient was simply fighting stuff up to 10 levels above me. If you succed you easily get a full level early on.

Interesting...

From what I've read there's no cap on augments, but apparently here's a maximum of 9999XP per kill.
