I was a little ill for a few days, not too bad, but didn't feel like sitting out in lounge, so no Final Fantasy XIV this week.

Will be getting back to it over the weekend.


Instead I spent the time to finish Donkey Kong Bananza.

The last bits were pretty interesting, I even skipped collecting everything.

Did any of you notice any stutter during the last fight? When the boss does his big attack, screen will stutter for a bit, it would go back to normal right afterwards. Not a big deal, but I don't recall noticing any performance issues through the game, so was weird to see that in the end.

After that, played some of the post-game, but didn't find it interesting enough to complete it. So, as far as I am concerned, the game is done.


Also, played some more of Blue Route in AI: The Somnium Files, I am, I believe, on the last day of this route. After that there is a Pink Route, which diverges from Blue Route, and then Green Route, which was the first one I played, but required me to finish other routes before continuing further.

Things have gone in some weird direction in this route, and I am currently more confused then ever about what's actually going on. Hopefully things will become clear when I finish all the routes.


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

A bit later than usual, but I wanted to give some space after the Direct news.

Finished Diablo IV, it was an interesting story, the cinematics were amazing, like always. Had fun playing it.

Would love to go back to it sometime in future and play with other classes.


So, I did something stupid. I started an MMORPG, when I don't even have time for normal games.

Started Final Fantasy XIV. It's just a trial version for now, wanted to give it a test but I got hooked, and didn't want to play anything else.

Wanted to finish DK: Bananza, but when I started it, I just wanted to rush through it so that I could get back to FF XIV, so I have temporarily put pause on all games and just playing that.

It's a VERY long game, so I don't think I'll be able to keep that pace, most probably will get back to playing other games this week or next by the max, but let's see.

I am currently at the place where you are done with your initial quests and get access to other cities. I have also done a few multiplayer dungeons, it's not as much of an issue as I thought it would be. Though being on console, it's difficult to reply to others when they message, should try to attach keyboard / mouse for those times.

I have also unlocked all the possible classes that can be unlocked until this point, which is all of the crafting and gathering ones (Disciple of Hand and Disciple of Land) plus some combat and magic ones (Disciple of War and Disciple of Magic), but I am focusing on only my main one, which is a Tank. Just got them unlocked in case I am bored some time and want to try something else.


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