What video games are you playing now?

Finished chapter 4 in Xenoblade 2. Good gosh this game can get stressful. That last fight was ridiculous. Was so ready for that whole arc to end tbh. Enjoying the game now that I'm adjusting to the differences between it and DE, that just wasn't my favorite arc so far.
 
Still on Xenoblade 2.

Screw Chapter 7 man. Most exhausting part of the game yet. And I'm not even close to done yet. I just spoiled myself on what all's left so I could make sure I actually had the field moves to get through. It was nice looking at reddit for help and seeing that I'm not alone in being thoroughly annoyed.

I just want Pyra back.
 
Finished Triangle Strategy first playthrough, great game, fans of tactics should buy it.

Finished Kirby and the Forgotten Land's main story in co-op with my girlfriend, though we still have some stuff to do in the Postgame and I have more Treasure Road stuff to do and Waddle Dees (nuts) to save before we're at 100%.

My main focus right now is on Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I'm currently in the middle of Chapter 3, and finding some things that I adore, and some things that I think the original does way better.

I also played some of Dragon Quest Builders 2 during the free game trial a couple of weeks ago. It was aight. Pretty fun for what it was.
 
Ys VIII- Lacrimosa of Dana. Exploring the island. Went fishing in an underground lake.
 
At the endgame of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Grinding before the final boss.

Kudos to the writers, I did NOT expect that connection to the first game. I spent the entire story wondering just how the heck this story connected to the first game because the worlds seemed so different and then I learned all that. I didn't even really completely understand until I looked it up on a whim. But when I met Klaus and heard his story, it all seemed familiar, and I was like "where have I heard that name before...?" then looked it up to confirm and felt stupid. The stories are taking place at the same time in alternate but related worlds caused by Klaus's mistake, apparently. And Zanza is his evil half who is about to be killed by Shulk, taking Klaus with him.

The story itself was actually really sad. Was crazy learning that this old, beaten down guy who created Pyra and the Blades trying to atone for his sins is basically the good half of the evil god I had to kill last game. And he's going to die because of the events in the first game going on at the same time. From what I understand, anyway.

Should probably note that I've only heard things and seen images from the Xenoblade 3 trailers. Been waiting to finish both games to actually watch them. So I don't know much about the story there yet, only that it's apparently supposed to connect the two worlds.
 
Been jumping around a bit, though I've now settled on MegaMan Battle Network 4 Red Sun on the Wii U VC. I'm only at the first scenario, where ShadeMan kidnaps Roll and you have to chase after him before Roll becomes a cinnamon roll. badum tish However, I'm spending time jacking in and out of the main net areas so I can fish for Green Mystery Data, both on the field and in battle (especially the in battle ones, as that can get you 2,000 Zenny if you find one in the ACDC area). That way I can buy up all the HP Memories up to this point. And since this is the Wii U VC version, I can use the "Connect" feature to get all the secret chips, such as Roll Arrow, Propeller Bomb, Metal Gear, and Blue Moon Navi Chips like ProtoMan. That's given me some extra firepower this early on, helping me get several new chips from the viruses, including my first PA: HeatSpread (although I haven't actually fired it yet, as I haven't gathered all the chips on the Custom Screen yet). I've only put the secret chips with the "*" code (and ProtoMan) so I don't clutter up my folder with random Chip Codes, but they've been a big help in deleting some of the tougher viruses like Larks and Boomers and getting me their chips. Currently MegaMan has 180 HP (three HP Memories shy of having the max amount of HP at this point in the game, as I need an Unlocker for one of them, one is still in the Net Dealer, and one is in the Radio Tower).
 
Just recently continued some content of Brilliant Diamond and even caught Heatran this time which I didn’t do in original Diamond or Pearl. Though, I do discover that the rival trains for Stark Mountain after I go there even though he was there before. Do I even have to go to the Fight Area prior to obtaining the National Dex too? I currently am on the fourth accessible area in Legends Arcues though.
 
100% of my undivided attention right now is on Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I just passed the 60 hour mark and I'm having a blast.

The tropes are still a little too much in my opinion, but Monolith Soft's excellent worldbuilding and design more than makes up for it. And the combat continues to grow on me to the point where it's still suuuuuper satisfying to pull off something like a joint combo. Super hype for XC3 later this year.
 
I actually just finished Xenoblade 2 a couple days ago. Very good game, had a blast. Some mechanics I'm not a huge fan of and I think I like Xenoblade DE a liiitle more, but that was a high bar. Definitely gonna pick up Xenoblade 3 in July especially since I hear it's a mix of the two. I've been refraining from watching any of the trailers until I beat 2.

The fanservice/cringe stuff wasn't nearly as bad as I had heard. Some eye roll moments and design choices for sure, but nothing that really detracted from the experience for me. Though I may also just be so numb from worse anime shenanigans.

For the past couple days I've just gone back to Stories 2 again to do the usual. Even after I've done just about everything it's still just a fun game to go back to. I've also gone back to the 3DS Stories now that my player can do something besides die.

Got back to playing MegaMan Battle Network 4 Red Sun on the Wii U VC. I completed the first scenario and entered the Den Tournament. My opponents were the Heel Navi, GutsMan, and TopMan. Which means I naturally got the Guts Soul as my first Double Soul (and had to deal with Chisao's fake kidnapping... the little brat). During the TopMan scenario I spent time fishing for Air Hockey 1 Chips from the viruses in the cybertop. I have both the E and F codes, now I just need the D code to get the Pit Hockey 1 PA, which I can get when Higsby opens up his Chip Ordering system. I then took part in winning the Free Passes for Mayl and had to enact revenge for Haruka getting attacked by Nebula. Now it's time for Lan's and Mayl's infamous date at the most annoying level in the game (the music in the Toy Robot computers... brrrr.... plus how stupid their "stories" are). I've also completed several PAs due to getting certain components from Higsby's Chip Trader: Life Sword, Hyper Burst, Bubble Spread, Giga Cannon 1, and Super Spread 1, with the former two being some of my favorites. MegaMan now has 260 HP and I now have access to the Navi Customizer. It's a shame that the Navi Cust can't upgrade the Souls in this game unlike in 5 and later the Crosses in 6. I also input several Lotto Number codes that I totally knew off the top of my head and didn't have a cheat sheet with them on it to get various new Chips, Sub Chips, and Customizer parts. I'm really hoping that in the upcoming Eagle Tournament I face off against Roll as her Soul is so damn broken useful, especially the auto healing ability that you get every time you use any chip. Anyway, now it's time for the date and the start of the Boktai crossover cameos (frankly, I liked the Boktai games, they were very unique with their solar sensor gimmick, plus I liked Django, who inspired my Yugioh protag of the same name).
