I never played a game with as big a world as BDO, it was phenomenal. no fast travel* and it took an hour to sail across the ocean, and you could literally get lost in the desert

*well technically there is fast travel but you needed one of the rarest items in the game to do it. that may have changed now but when I last played the Archaeologist's Map was really hard to get, literally days of grinding for the 0.000000001% chance to get the pieces to drop. I'll never forget the feeling when I finally made it and people saw the server announcement

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.

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.

I strongly recommend: Crimson Desert

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...

Musou?!?!?!?

Stop tempting me to buy this game aaaaaaaaaaaaargggggg!!!!! πŸ˜†

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. 😁

this game continues to amaze

after saving the town of Vellua from a pirate attack, which was an epic streetfight through the town during a thunderstorm, culminating in a mad boss fight against the pirate leader (his armor had a fish helmet) we were asked to rebuild the town lighthouse

here it is at various stages of construction. when it was done I celebrated with a spot of fishing

see, Yann is always dreaming of his next bullshit scheme to make it big, but the trouble is Yann is a complete pisshead and he keeps dragging Kliff into all the trouble he starts, then running away and leaving Kliff to clear up the mess. he starts fights when blackout drunk, loses all his money gambling and expects Kliff to win it back for him, buying trade goods and expecting Kliff to drive a wagon half way across the map through hostile territory

just like someone called Matty I used to know, until I realised one day that these are the kind of "friends" you can really do without. hopefully Kliff will come to the same conclusion eventually

I think the writing in this game is excellent, btw. the main story is kinda incoherent, but all the little side stories are really rather good imo
