OT: Video Game Talk (oh, also the Week before the All-Star Break Pre-Game Talk "archive")

The Indiana Jones game is a banger. About 8 hours in and having a great time. Didn’t see the most recent movie but the storyline is miles better than Crystal Skull. Fits perfectly with the older movies.

I very much hate Dragonborrow (upper Caelid). My character is around level 117 and this place is still kicking my arse.

Finally finished Mario and Luigi Brothership last night. Took me 59 hours, but I did do all the side quests and did all the challenges. In hindsight I wish I didn't do the challenges. All that grinding made me sick of the game and I just wanted to be finished with it by the end. I still really enjoyed it. A solid 8/10 in my books. I'm just an idiot for doing optional stuff I didn't enjoy so I can see the virtual check box get filled.

I think I was around level 160 when I finished the game the first time. I didn't adhere to the "you gotta be this level" bros who like to torture themselves.

Is Astro Bot worth a purchase? Didn't give it much thought before but I really would love to play a cute, Mario-ish platformer, and like many others after TGA my curiosity is piqued...

Astro bot winning game of the year feels like a cop out because they just didn't want to give it to Black-Myth Wu Kong.

Meh Metaphor should have won. Astrobot does not do it for me but then again I think BOTW should have won over Odyssey too.

I still need to play Metaphor. I have a pretty big backlog right now, so I'll wait for a worthwhile sale. Also people love to mod Atlus games l, so the longer I wait, the more extra free content I'll be getting.
