This week I are been mostly playing Sea of Thieves, again. I keep looking at my flight stick and thinking about Elite Dangerous, but the call of the open ocean is still too great.

I've also put a little bit of time into Minit, but I got stuck and haven't gone back since.

Want
The old Society back. :cry:

The society of cavalcades?

Actually, I guess there is only one of him, and that's not really a society…

The cavalcade?

Also Sea of Thieves. Bits of Burnout Paradise.

Want
The D&D game I've been DMing online has fallen apart due to scheduling conflicts (if it's late enough for E to be in bed, it's too late for some of the players to start), so I'm wondering if I can get an IRL group together, maybe to play Star Wars. Two of the potential players are on holiday at the moment, though, so I'll have to wait for them to get back before raising the subject.

Bin
Everything but Sea of Thieves and bits of Burnout Paradise.

EDIT: is there a way to underline text? [u] doesn't seem to work.

For some fairly boring HTML standards reasons, it appears not. I can have a look at adding it.

Oh, I also Played Hitman again the other day. They're running back through the Elusive Targets, and finally reached one I hadn't already done! I almost immediately fucked it up, failing the mission on my one shot.

I was not pleased. :(

Monster Hunter World, I seem to be massively behind anyone I see online (HR12 despite getting the game a week after launch and sinking over 70 hours in) but massively enjoying it, have been "introduced" to Bazelgeuse who also made an appearance in a dream I had last night.

Persona 5, actually I tell a lie, I don't think I've touched this since March but it's my on going RPG after finishing FFXV and Persona 3 (shush Alastair) last year

Final Fantasy X-2, started this on Vita last week after finally finishing X, not played enough (maybe four hours?) to get much of an impression yet.

Want

Both the PS4 Yakuza games but not in a position to buy games at the moment so it's a good job I have plenty of stuff available that I've barely touched or abandoned (not to mention PS+).

Top tip for FFX-2: do ALL the side content. Leave the story missions till last in every chapter. You’ll get stomped otherwise (and will miss out on all the best bits of the game).

Yeah that's what I'm doing, it's a really odd quirky game (still on the first chapter).

PLAY
The Witness. I'm a bit behind the times with this, but it's bloody lovely. (Most of) the puzzles are just the right side of difficult, so I'm never left scratching my head for too long. And it's just stunning to look at, and listen to. I've never appreciated the sound of footsteps more.

Still trying to work out what the environmental puzzles activate – something to do with the obelisks – and to be honest they're the weakest bit of the game. Hoping you don't need to find them all to finish the game, otherwise it'll be a bit of a sour note to end on.

Final Fantasy 14. Still addicted.

Trackmania PS4 More polished, more focused and slightly less interesting than the original on PC (from what I remember). But it's still great fun to play. The only annoying thing is playing online with a friend, there doesn't seem to be a way to have your friend's best time on your screen. So while it's a really great idea for multiplayer, voice chat with a friend usually just descends into "what time did you get on that lap, and what position are you now in?"

WANT
God of War. Very excited about this now. And my wife is away next weekend, so I'm going to lock myself away from the sunshine and kill some gods.

Playing Yakuza: Kiwami at the moment after no longer being able to resist getting it at the price of £10, I can kinda' see the Shenmue comparisons now but also see how different they are, Yakuza feels like a very arcadey version of Shenmue, it's faster and while the main story seems pretty serious everything else is much less so whereas Shenmue was practically serious 100% of the time. Honestly I'd be a ittle wary recommending Shenmue to a Yakuza fan, it might seem way too slow and you can shatter a Bicycle over someone's head in combat or anything like that. Not that far but I'm definitely enjoying it, ifanything the combat parts make me wanna' say 'If you like this, you'll LOVE God Hand" which is one ofthe best action games ever made for punching people in slightly wacky ways.

Monster Hunter….Generations, yeah, not binning World or anything but after 300+ hours of hunting electric-squirrel-panthers, there comes a time when you want to hunt fresh monkey-laser-elephants and watching videos of this made me crack. It's old school Monster Hunter…but it's still Monster Hunter, yeah it sucks not having the slinger and all of QoL MHW gave us but I got over it very quickly and I'm having a blast, this game lets you pick many styles to differentiate your gameplay so even two Hammer users will play differently. Some ofthe newdesigns are a little…out there, pushing it for sure( (The expansion to Generations which I don't think we got in the west, has a Dragon that is basically a supersonic jet)

I did play a little of Monster Hunter World for the Dante event quest, now I can look like Dante, yay. Apparently the developer at the head of this game is related to the boss of Capcom or something which is why we get so many awesome crossovers…(Though not the one that would make most sense, Witcher 3, since the series title is literally is fucking job). But yeah, I'm gona' try play a little more of MHGen.

Want

Shenmue I and II HD, come onnnnnnnn.

Dunno when I'll get round to God of War, I'm sure it's every bit as good as everyone says, but I really don't care. :<

Yakuza has some of the most annoying boss fights I've ever seen in a game, super armour on everything they do, just randomly fall out of my rush combos and then nail me with an inescapable combo, they also have health for days, feels like I'm being punished for finding an opening here.
