A bit later than usual, but I wanted to give some space after the Direct news.

Finished Diablo IV, it was an interesting story, the cinematics were amazing, like always. Had fun playing it.

Would love to go back to it sometime in future and play with other classes.


So, I did something stupid. I started an MMORPG, when I don't even have time for normal games.

Started Final Fantasy XIV. It's just a trial version for now, wanted to give it a test but I got hooked, and didn't want to play anything else.

Wanted to finish DK: Bananza, but when I started it, I just wanted to rush through it so that I could get back to FF XIV, so I have temporarily put pause on all games and just playing that.

It's a VERY long game, so I don't think I'll be able to keep that pace, most probably will get back to playing other games this week or next by the max, but let's see.

I am currently at the place where you are done with your initial quests and get access to other cities. I have also done a few multiplayer dungeons, it's not as much of an issue as I thought it would be. Though being on console, it's difficult to reply to others when they message, should try to attach keyboard / mouse for those times.

I have also unlocked all the possible classes that can be unlocked until this point, which is all of the crafting and gathering ones (Disciple of Hand and Disciple of Land) plus some combat and magic ones (Disciple of War and Disciple of Magic), but I am focusing on only my main one, which is a Tank. Just got them unlocked in case I am bored some time and want to try something else.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
