In a quick break from the insanity in the real world, I thought I'd see what everyone was playing, or looking to play.
Being a huge X-Wing/Tie Fighter fan, I'd really like to play Star Wars: Squadrons, but I refuse to give EA money, and the developer pushing bullshit pronoun nonsense sealed the deal.
Instead, I'm about to start Yakuza Kiwami for the first time.
What are you guys enjoying right now?
Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles mostly. When I'm in the mood for something less RPG and more action I mix in an FPS or action game here and there. Lately that's been Metal Wolf Chaos XD. I've been very heavily preferring Japanese games lately and that wasn't intentionally to avoid woke-ness, just as a byproduct of that they've been more fun. I'm even about to get into some more traditional JRPGs.
I'm not sure if you played Yakuza 0 or not but Kiwami 1 got me way more hooked on the series than 0 did. Planning to play it all the way through now.
Anyone that's never played Metal Wolf Chaos really should check it out right now. It's a bit crude and not very deep gameplay, but the story is just hilarious in modern context. The President himself has to jump in a mech and take down the usurpers to save American freedom. There's even fake news (called DNN) who fly around in a helicopter and claim the President is destroying America and slaughtering innocent Americans. It's just hilarious.
