Did you finish Crash 4 100%?

Oh God no. Tbh that seemed like a nightmare.

How was Crash 4? Should I wait for a price drop or dive on in?

It's hard, but mostly fun rather than frustrating. There's definitely a lot of content there; some of it is more or less repeated levels, but they definitely don't shortchange you if you buy at full price.

Waiting for Christmas money to get Yakuza Like a Dragon and AC Valhalla. Until then, I've got Gears Tactics on Game Pass, and DLC for Desperados. Might also check out Empire of Sin depending on how the Switch version runs.

If I dislike Gears Tactics, is it likely I will dislike other tactics games?

I'm only a couple hours in so far, but it's borrowing a decent amount from Xcom, and so is pretty much every other tactics game in recent years, so...yeah probably.

Is there something specific that's annoying you?

Is that a normal amount of games for you in a year or has Covid-19 made a difference?

Eh, it's just not fun for me. I don't like setting up turns and using points for moving around. I guess it's just not a genre for me.

This is probably way more than I've ever done before. Covid has only marginally increased my free time; I've still been working. It's more a product of having more money to spend on games and Game Pass making it easier to get some.

Origami King and Luigi's Mansion for the Switch are two uncompleted games I need to get back to. Which one is better to finish?

Yeah, that's kinda the whole genre right there, lol.

Tips on actually playing games til the end? I've beaten a few games this year, but I have a tendency to play games up until the like halfway point then shelve them for something else.

This was me until fairly recently. I can't really point to one thing changing that, except that most of these games are 10-20 hours long and I'm not getting burned out the way I used to.

I've done 20 if you exclude story/expansion DLC for games.

Was thinking about picking up a new game, like CoD or WD Legion or ... maybe even Valhalla but I'm trying to 100% Borderlands 3 now and I never finished the Halo games in MCC >_>

I haven't played Luigi's Mansion. Origami King was fun; I really thought that battle system was neat, but I think it could've used another mechanic or two for out of battle.

Transistor. It's a really neat game in terms of its story and mechanics, but I'm not into those isometric action games and was struggling my way through it.

Still good, but I liked it less. I played it near launch when it was very buggy, so that spoiled some of my experience, and I didn't care for the new emphasis on combat as compared to the first game.

Not bragging, but I'm at 122 games beaten in 2020. Now a lot of those were shorter games, but still. I did 112 in 2019. About 50 in 2018.

Because I was at the same spot you were in a few years ago I have a question. As you keep track of games beaten are you starting to feel like it's now like a "mission from God" to beat as many as you can? It's how I've gotten especially last few years.

The pandemic made it even moreso. The scary thing about pandemic isn't covid, but society in general at least in USA. People are going to look after their own interests over the collective. Becoming a "productive member of society" only means make more profit for the ultra rich and run around in the endless cycle.

I've come to terms with it all and now finish games without any guilt. I don't care if people say they are a waste of time. Being an workaholic and wasting life away at some job that has no meaning is meaningless. I'd rather enjoy my meaningless time on this planet.

How did you find Bastion, if you've played it? Hades is the combat from Bastion, but refined to an extremely satisfying degree

As for Pyre, I couldn't get into the sports part. I'm considering a replay soon enough, though

Yeah, it's easy to get into this mindset, almost operating like a reviewer.

Yeah that's best way to sum it up. I also label the genres and rate each game I beat. It's made me seek out a variety of genres.

Oh that's a nifty site! I've been using glitchwave.com. I like it because games can be tagged as multiple genres.

Backloggd has more games I notice! I'll register. This is exactly what I needed because glitchwave doesn't cover a lot of indie games.
