Genshin Impact (PS5) - Unlocked the reputation requests and bounties for Sumeru! Also finishing up on some tasks for the events that are currently ongoing. Trying to build up some of my characters for the Abyss (end-game content basically) but there’s so many things it’s hard to figure out what order to do them in lol.
Everybody’s Golf
I meant to update this in a seperate “getting the plat” post, but I got disctracted so… I’ll just update here I guess lol.
While I didn’t really play as much as I would like this week, I did however, catch all of the fish required for that trophy! :D That four hourish game time for this week was almost entirely fishing! That and zooming around the courses in a golf cart lol.
The fishing itself was fine, but it’s pretty simple. No aiming of your fishing rod is required (although supposedly throwing your lure further gives a better chance for rarer fish but I couldn’t really tell), so it’s all about reeling the fish in. When you first get a bite, you need to time when you start reeling the fish in (better timing means more time to reel in the fish). The annoying thing though is that there doesn’t seem to be any indicator on how to time this correctly! There doesn’t seem to be a visual or audio indicator, and the only hint I could find online about that was just “wait about a secondish maybe”. It didn’t impede my progress on fishing all that much thankfully, but still a bit annoying. Once you start reeling the fish in, it’s button mashing time. You do need to time on when to button mash and when to wait (if the line has too much tension, the fish gets away), but for the most part it’s just button mash. And I mean a LOT of button mashing. I had to be very careful to not hurt my wrists!
Overall it wasn’t too bad to get the trophy at least. It’s particularly nice to get it out of the way, since it’s the only trophy that must be done online. Part of me is debating about getting the other fishes that are part of the DLC courses though. There’s no trophy for them, so all it would do is complete the fish journal lol. I’ll have to sit on that one XD
Tappingo
Not really much to say about this since it’s really short and I very quickly finished it up last week. It’s a nice puzzle game, even if it’s short and simple. It’s all about revealing a picture by extending blocks to the correct size. Extended blocks will prevent others from extending any further, so you need to puzzle out what direction each block needs to go, and in what order you need to do all that in. Probably not a good explanation but it’s very easy to grasp once you start playing it lol.
It was a nice breezy replay, but I’m super sad that the sequel was taken off the eshop a while ago :( Since I missed out on getting a copy, guess I’m going to have to use alternate means to play it…
Meow Tower: Nonogram Cute Cats
I thought I’d be done with the game once I gave all of the furniture to all of the cats in the game, but nope! I had to do all of the puzzles! It kind of lost some appeal since there wasn’t anything else I could do with the cats but oh well. It was a nice time waster at least, even if the puzzles I had left to do were incredibly easy.
There’s supposed to be more content coming out at some point, so I’m looking forward to whenever that comes out.
Backlog Update
Backlog: 2255 (+5)
Time to Beat: 45,490 hrs (+154 hrs)
Yay for more reasonable numbers! I think I forgot to put both Tappingo AND Meow Tower on my backlog though, so unfortunatly they didn’t get to count against my backlog numbers lol. Oh well! Those increase in numbers are certainly WAY better than plus a bajillion like it was while I was adding subscription games, so I’ll take what I can get!
That’s it! Not a paticularly exciting week (again), but hey at least I reduced my now playing list by a bit! Going to work more on that Everybody’s Golf plat and maybe maybe maybe I can play Trails in the Sky??? Please??? The smoke here has died down by a lot so hopefully that means more energy to do things!
