Played: Dark Souls III, Earthlock: Festival of Magic
Finished (playing): Dark Souls III
Playing: Earthlock: Festival of Magic
I stopped playing Dark Souls III not so much because of the difficulty (although it IS difficult), but because it's just too demanding of my time right now. I have to spend a lot of time in the game just to make a little progress, because as anyone who's played a Souls game knows you can't just plow through them button mashing. While I was enjoying it and not getting as frustrated as I did with the previous games, it's a time sink that I'm not prepared to commit to right now with so many other games that I have waiting to be played. It's something that I will play again after I've played through a lot of my other games.
I started playing Earthlock: Festival of Magic, and it's a fun little throwback to classic turn-based JRPGs that was developed in Norway of all places. While the graphics aren't anime, almost everything else about it feels distinctively like an old school JRPG. I've been enjoying it for that reason, but it's been a little challenging from the start and there's some modern complexities about it that feel a little out of place for a game that's trying to replicate the somewhat older and simpler times of JRPGs.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice comes out next week:
The Backlog Check-in Vol. 63: 3/16/19: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Edition

(Play what you enjoy phase!)
I'm still enjoying it very much, but I haven't had time to put into it for a few days. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to it in a day or two.

Wow, congrats cane! Must feel both amazing and a bit strange to be a grandparent. Hope all goes well for your daughter and her baby during the delivery.canedaddy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 1:18 pm Played last week: Red Dead Redemption II

Games added: Dead Cells, Division 2
Last week: Finished nothing, played Tetris 99, Dead Cells, Devil May Cry V and a little Yakuza 0
This week: Definitely more Dead Cells, and more other stuff too
Dead Cells is amazing. It's a randomly generated Metroidvania rogue-like. So it's a game tailor made for me. It's tough, but you always gain something with every run and it's EXTREMELY addictive.

Thanks man!
Thanks! Yes, mostly amazing. It's awesome to get the good stuff of the baby without all the lost sleep and noise.isthatallyougot wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 1:41 pm Wow, congrats cane!

The birth look a lot longer than expected... some scary moments in there, but she finally emerged Monday and all is well now.

Adorable baby! Congrats to you and your daughter / son-in-law. I can imagine being a grandparent will be a lot less stressful than being a parent. You can always "ruin" them and send them back home.

Kind of amusing that your grandkid and one of my daughters are 6 months apart.

I don't know about amusing. Trust me, the time from being my little girl to having her own zoomed by. You'll be holding a grandchild in a rocking chair before you know it.
