Musou?!?!?!?

Stop tempting me to buy this game aaaaaaaaaaaaargggggg!!!!!

I just did 3 big orders at Play Asia as my card rolled over to the month where I get my vacation bonus, and might have ordered a few more things on top of that.

@COMPU73E

They are doing a 2 games from 2026 for $80 which is just insane, so I grabbed the upcoming Cotton Rock With You on Switch 2 and Blue Reflection Quartet on Switch 1.

Just a moment...

@outofprintarchive Skill Up's review touched on the musou elements, it's not the whole game but their engine is perfectly capable of throwing around hundred of enemies. the section I did last night was amazing

I strongly recommend: Crimson Desert

@COMPU73E

I'd love to get it but right now I'm not quite in the mindset to get lost in such a massively sprawling game.

I'm mostly playing puzzle games, a bit of racing and some action games like Gundam Breaker and musou games right now and just flipping between them.
Thinking of going back to Toukiden as well, as I adored those games but never finished them as I always have way too much to play.

@COMPU73E you need to hire some middle-management types to do the checking up, then you need to hire some directors to check on the middle managers, then you need to hire some VPs to check on the directors, then c-suite, then a board of directors, and so on. only then will you be satisfied knowing that actual work is getting done.

I found a right chonk! #CrimsonDesert

@COMPU73E lol love that it's called a loafy cat! very cute

[anarchaeopteryx@gamepad.club]

@COMPU73E It looks like a relative of Fat Cat from FFXIV!

I caught a the legendary Golden Carp with my fancy new fishing rod #CrimsonDesert

I think Kliff is looking pretty damn fabulous in his new hat #CrimsonDesert

@COMPU73E I'm a good ways behind you (Ch 5 currently), but after a slow start, this game continues to impress me more the further I get.

[compu73e@retro.pizza]

@68000 I'm in Chapter VII somewhere, there so much to do!

[68000@corteximplant.com]

@COMPU73E Indeed. And the side quest content is incredibly robust as well. It’s so easy to get lost in them accidentally while taking the slightest detour. It almost feels like Skyrim in that way.

[compu73e@retro.pizza]

managed to tame the Legendary white horse Royler, took several attempts because the horse taming minigame is total bullshit, but I got it eventually!

fastest horse in the game apparently, forgot to take a screenshot but I'll do that tomorrow, it's a cool looking horse

now to level it up!

me, during a boss fight in #CrimsonDesert

"fuck you you fucking cheating twat, teleporting all over the place, this boss is BULLSHIT!"

me, after learning how to fight the boss and defeating it

"wow that was a really cool fight, excellent boss"

[hk@mstdn.games]

@COMPU73E I think that sums up every boss I've ever fought in a souls-like

@COMPU73E this is the way
