I have been too much of an addiction to this MMO, Pokengine. So much so that I haven't had much activity on this website due to it.

Now yes, my activity on this website dwindles from time to time, but this MMO has really traded all my time onto TBT altogether.

I want to make a comeback here and start doing more activity on the forums, but hadn't until now.
The MMO is starting to get pretty tiring right now, so I'll try to make sure I'm here more often.

I am constantly overwhelmed with how many games I want to play, and the lack of time I have to commit to them.

Genshin:
At first I thought Sigewinne’s would be boring, but I honestly enjoyed it a lot. I also really enjoyed Clorinde’s; I didn’t think I’d like it when I first started it. I was sad when I finished since I’d had loved to continue the game that was part of the story.

I thought Mavuika’s story queat was extremely underwhelming; the idea

Spoiler: plot spoilers

of her meeting the former pyro archon was interesting but the way it was executed just not that great to me.

I want to say I like Mavuika and that she’s cool; I definitely like the voice over. I just feel like she is missing something.

Il Capitano was everything I hoped to see in a character: cool design, amazing VO, intriguing personality/background/motives/vibes, and so much potential in the story too, and extremely unique.

I don’t like how they give us some rewards now for exploring the areas in natlan like the 400 primogems but with a time limit. Even if the time is lengthy, I like to take my time to explore so doing this makes it less enjoyable. Also for new accounts, it’s not fair since it takes a lot of time to progress even when rushing.

I thought Clorinde’s Japanese VO sounded familiar; I finally looked it up last night and as I thought, it was the same VA who voiced Mikasa in AOT, Ishikawa Yui. She’s an amazing voice actress .

How bad are they? I’m kind of curious because it’s a meme how terrible they are but I want to know if they’re actually that bad.

They're the worst fishing mechanics in any game I've played. Getting the fish and frog lined up with the line requires much trial and error, and the camera jerks back and forth throughout the entire thing. The only good thing about his campaign is that it's only four levels long.

The game is worth revisiting for Sonic fans to see what the 3D games used to be like, but the quality is all over the place.

Everyone keeps talking about Marvel Rivals, and it would be kind of cool to own a relevant game for once, before it dies in two months, but the only consoles it’s on are PS5 and the Xbox Series ones, and I only have a Switch and an Xbox One. I did a Google search and found a subreddit confirming I’m not the only person that has that issue. I wonder when they’ll completely stop making games compatible with last gen consoles. Hopefully I’ve been able to upgrade by then, but it seems kind of dumb when they’re just going to release another Xbox in a few years with virtually no changes to it and charge $500 for it, so maybe I should just wait for that. But if they do that, I hope they don’t have two versions and make the one that has a disc drive more expensive again because most of my games aren’t digital.

I know how you feel as someone who also still hasn't gotten any of the current-gen consoles. I've missed out on many of the big games from the last few years since they either didn't have good last gen ports or were just unavailable on them. I understand they can't support the PS4 and Xbox One forever since they're over a decade old, but it's frustrating that many newer games are locked behind consoles that are still the full $500 even after nearly five years of being out. When the PS4 Pro was released, Sony cut the price of the original PS4 down considerably, and sadly, they haven't done that with the PS5. If they did that now, I'd be much more willing to upgrade, but $500 for a nearly five-year-old game console is absurd.

Echoes of Wisdom is fun, but tougher than it looks! I got stuck on the Faron Temple boss, so I went out wandering, and came across the Eldin Temple. Now I’m helping out the rock sumo bois. Hopefully, this means my progress from the Faron is SAVED because WHEW it was tough!

Also the little green monsters at the beginning remind me of those French peas from Veggie Tales lol.
