Persona 5 Royal review

Posted on by Shawshank

So last week or the week before, I beat another game. About a month or two earlier, Crystal was watching a SwitchUp video on YouTube, and they were talking about JRPGs, and mentioned that Persona 5 Royal had been released on the Switch for a while. And said if you have never played one of the best JRPGs ever, you should, and that it was on sale.

Spoiler Alert: it wasn’t, but Crystal found a work around to a place that did offer it for sale. So after it downloaded and I was at work, Crystal started playing, so she could experience the opening by herself without trying to ignore it while I was playing beside her.

I believe the next day I played it for the first time. Let me say this: this game is amazing. I found it to have a bit of a learning curve. So much so in fact, I’m really enjoying my 2nd play through more than the original play through.

This game has a mix of life sim, and turn based combat. It’s crazy how well they blend together. You have to learn how to balance “work” (combat and dungeons) to “home” (school, part time jobs, hanging out with friends). It’s a delicate balance that you have to find very quickly.

Almost immediately, after completing the game, I started a second play through. The game does reward you for playing again, which is new to me, but I like how they do it.

Spoiler alert: the last nine photos are end game, before the system stopped allowing me to take screenshots.

Lockup Library game score: 9/10

Link, Link – the blood moon is rising

I finally moved closer to end game. I finished all the regional quests to find Zelda. Then there was some more Princess sightings at Hyrule castle.

I did all that, and got to fight more Phantom Gannon’s. then I was treated to some pretty nice cut-scenes.

I’m posting this mostly for the chance to post these pictures. Otherwise no one would see them. Course posting them here, no one will see them.

I don’t want to finish the game.

But the next Zelda game comes out at the end of this week.

Midsomer Murders

Posted on by Shawshank

So it’s been a while since I’ve talked about what I’m watching. We watch PlutoTv pretty much every night. Mostly to watch Antiques Roadshow. Well, there’s another channel on Pluto that interested me. But it’s a live channel, so I was always missing the beginning of the show – Midsomer Murders.

Midsomer Murders is a British “comfy police procedural”. The episodes are about an hour and a half each. It’s about two cops in Midsomer county, and they investigate murders in their area.

There’s a lot of murders. It’s on par with Murder, She Wrote for the body counts that tally up through out the episodes. I’m currently on series two. And I’m throughly enjoying the episodes that I’ve watched.

DCI Barnaby, and DS Troy.

The humour is pretty close to dad jokes, and those types of laughs. There’s a running joke now though out the two series that I’ve watched: DS Troy is a terrible driver.

I’m really enjoying what I’ve watched so far. The crimes are very complicated, and I haven’t guessed one killer yet. Probably because the episodes move very slowly, until they move quickly.

What’s your “comfy” British shows that you watch?

Continuing on with No Man’s Sky

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about No Man’s Sky. I actually uploaded these pictures, probably about 3ish weeks ago, and them promptly forgot to post the next time we went over to Shandy Acres for Sunday dinner.

So yeah, this is my current ship. I bounced around with one or two others, but I found I was having to acquire more and more launch fuel. It was quite frankly, annoying. I knew I had to find a Class ‘S’ ship with solar sails. The solar sails recharge the starship launchers. Finally, I found another one.

It was kinda annoying switching ships, I had dumped a lot of credits into the old one, but I hated how it looked. This one is far more elegant.

So yeah, this is the newest Theseus. I’m slowly switching out all the substandard parts to fully a class parts.

In order to pay for all this, I’ve been doing a bit of pirating. But I’m a pirate with some morels. I don’t go after the freighters, just the cargo pods that float next them. After I’ve plundered all the cargo pods, I’ll warp back to my “home” system. Then I’ll hit up the space station, and sell all the pirated stuff. Then, I’ll buy what I can there, and sell it in my base in the pirate controlled area.

I’ve been making some bank.

Also to help with making some money, I have a fleet. I send 5 ships out on the longest expeditions I have access too, and they will bring me back around a million or so credits once a day.

Last week I think, I added 5 more ships to the fleet, bring the number of ships up to 10.

I like this game. More than I thought I would. I don’t have it on the easiest setting or the hardest. It’s perfect for when I don’t have a lot of brain power to expend on it. It relaxes me as well.
