One day late, didn't know where the week go.

Played some Trails in the Sky: SC. Got stuck at the boss of Chapter 2. It's pretty tough. Though I have couple of ideas that can help, but sudden difficulty spikes like this annoy me a lot, so taking a small break from it.

Started Spider-man 2 on PS5. After playing and dropping Batman: Arkham Knight, I needed play something similar but not as slow, so got Spider-man 2. Have played a few hours and loving every minute of it. From combat to traversal to story. Great game!

Also started WWE 2K24. Haven't played a wrestling game in a very long time, but since I got it for "free" as PS+ monthly game, gave it a try. Having tons of fun with it.

On Switch, most of the time was spent with the NSO Playtest thingy, and some Picross S4 in-between. I was stuck at one Picross puzzle (P-133) from a long time (and same puzzle in Mega-Picross), so wasn't playing it much. Finally looked up a video online (watched a video instead of turning on assists, to figure out how to solve it, instead of just getting the solution), basically just had to do a wee bit of brute force thingy to check possible values 3-4 moves ahead to get couple of invalid positions, after that it was simple enough. Just have last page of Picross and MegaPicross remaining now, and then 4/5 extra-big Extra puzzles. So, should be finishing it soon.

That's all from me, what about all of you? What have you been playing

Oooh, nice!

Never played Sonic Adventure 2. I have only played one or two 3D Sonic games of old, and I don't think it was this one. Do plan to get Shadow Generations though.

I don't recall if I played the first Sims or the second one, but I remember loving it. I recently tried Sims 4 on PlayStation but couldn't get into it, no idea if the game was bad or I just don't like such games anymore.

I think Sonic Adventure can be a frustrating game. I confess it has some issues that I have learned to work around. But I still can't see it as anything less than a great game that gets way more hate than it deserves.

The first Sims was in fake 3D, the 2nd one was already full 3D. The fourth one is known for being a huge downgrade when compared to 3 and even 2. I haven't played 4 a lot but people really hate it, a lot of the community stayed on 3. It doesn't help that EA is EA, and while the whole series has always had expansion packs and extra purchaseable content, with 3 already being a bit unreasonable, The Sims 4 took it to unimaginable heights. I think buying everything will set you back like 1500 USD or more, and it was super criticized for slicing up content into multiple packs. They even have DLC for DLC, with a content pack only having content for another pack...

Oh yeah, heard about that. Good thing I couldn't get into Sims 4, or would've been too disappointed.
