Game Day 2609

I figure that number reflects my 25 years worth of gaming since 1995. I've mastered this pastime twice over if you believe in the 10k hours to master a craft idea. Anyway, this is what I did this 2609th day of gaming. 

Battlefield 1: I attempted to get a best squad accolade in multiplayer for a rewards quest. This game looks so amazing but I was clearly out of my league. I got shot dead in less than a minute every time. I played a few rounds, didn't get the reward, and called it a day. I'm already at 6k points anyway. I don't need to do every single quest. 

Farm Together: Extended my train lines. Bought a new area of land. Harvested a lot of diamond fruiting plants. Paid my farmhands with pizza, muffins, tiramisu, and sushi. 

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures: Nearly finished the first movie's worth of levels. I had to restart a level twice, once because I forgot my shovel and a second time because I froze the game by lowering a weight from a crane in a place where it got stuck. It was fun to explore the university where Indy teaches. It forms the hub of the game. 

Dragon Quest XI: I got fed up with the maze-filled castles in the Tickington 2D side missions. I returned to the 3D world and started a new time-traveling quest. There are always more surprises in this game. I am still slightly annoyed at its slow pace. Why does what is essentially a time lord have to talk so darn slowly? I went and made lunch while it talked. 

Anticipating finishing DQXI sometime soon, I downloaded the Immortals Fenyx Rising (action-adventure) demo and Star Renegades (RPG roguelike) from GamePass and purchased Serious Sam Collection.

I wouldn't last long in Battlefield 1 either, but it sure looks purdy.

It looks so amazing. I love how they went so deep into WWI. I got into this truck that had a turret added to it. You get into it just as you would in real life, ducking into a crawl space and then looking out a slit. I sat in the thing for a few minutes but no one else came along to drive the thing, so I left it.

Early LEGO games had a lot of bugs in them.  I remember a lot of them freezing up on me.

I thought about reviewing Immortals Fenyx Rising but I had too much on my plate at the time.

I've had pretty good luck but there was one they made much later that totally ruined my save for the whole game, Lego The Hobbit. I hope they fixed that one because I don't want to play half of it again just to have it ruined like last time. 

I have the demo of Fenyx downloaded. Hopefully, I'll get to it this weekend.

LEGO The Hobbit is one of the few LEGO games I've never played.  Just can't get into that Lord of the Rings stuff.

How about Harry Potter? I'm going to play the Lego Harry Potter games very soon after Indy.

The LEGO Harry Potter games were split up into two, but then they made a collection later.  I played the first one, but not the second one.  I never got into Harry Potter much either.  I read the first four books, but got bored after that.  Same goes with the movies.  The Harry Potter section of Universal Studios is pretty amazing, though.  Even I thought it was great, and I'm not much of a Harry Potter fan.  The rest of my family sure is, though!  I drank a lot of that pumpkin juice at the Harry Potter theme park.  So good.

Same with me, I read the first four books and stopped. I watched all but the very last movie. My neice and nephew were crazy Harry Potter fans and went to that Universal Studios part of Disney Land. They also went to Harry Potter summer camps. 

I'll probably get that collection that covers all the movies. That's going to take me some time to get through.

I'm going to find a way to shorten the next RPG I play.
