Last Game You Played

[queenzelda]

[Switch] Dragon Quest Monster: Dark Prince: I finally achieved rank E since I need to be a high enough lvl for a monster to speak to my group apparently. smh

{Switch] Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Checked my town, sold and caught some bugs for the bug off before I quit for the night.

[PC/Steam] TCG Card Game Sim: Opened some packs and got my store to the next lvl. I didn't play much but pulled a $725 card. Last card I pulled was about $500.

Railgrade

After completing the main campaign, I stopped playing this for several months, but... I just couldn't stay away forever . I came back to play one of the user-made map.

I had to produce a bunch of Widgets, then grow a city to 1,200 residents - and, in order to get the top 'S' grade, I had to do this in 65 minutes. On my first attempt, I took 71 minutes - but realised what I had to do for a faster run. So, I gave it another go - and did it in just under 57 minutes!

TCG Card Shop Simulator [steam]: I'm on day 34 or so my shop is lvl 30. I have two cashiers, one stocker, and I've pulled 2 white ghost cards so far. Hopefully I'll pull more as I gain lvls. :3 No expensive card pulls over 700 doll hairs though. 🤷‍♀️

First ghost pull:

Supermarket Simulator (0.2 - Tablet Update)

They FINALLY added a portable price gun/tablet where you can check stock and reorder on the go instead of having to count and memorize the numbers, running back and forth between the shelves in store and in the backroom. It's SO nice, wow. The only issue is it's live-processing all the numbers at all times, and while that's really nice, it sure takes up a lot of processing power and oof, my laptop was overheating faster than my coolant AND external fans could keep it down. I capped the framerate to 60 and set the graphics from MEDIUM to LOW and now it's workable.

The Sims 4 - but I didn't make a massive amount of progress .

[queenzelda]

Animal Crossing New Horizons [Switch]: Checked my town, bought some clothes sold some appraised fossils then quit for the day.

LoZ: Echoes of Wisdom [Switch]: I finally got somewhere in this game. I got through the first part helping out Tri now I just need to open up the sanctum in Gerudo valley. But I kinda went to the wrong shrine first? At least I beat the lightning monster. LOL Once I figure out where the flying tiles are I can go back. ;3

Ratchet: Deadlocked (PS3)
I know this is one if the Black Sheep of the franchise, but I said to myself "eh, I bought the first three Ratchet and Clank games, and I remember having fun with this one. Why not, right?"

Oh boy.

This is an abysmal conversion. Genuinely. Graphical glitches aplenty in cutscenes, and the game has the tendency to chug to a crawl if you start firing in proximity of 6 or so enemies. And I don't mean dropped frames. I mean the game actively slows down so you have better reactions. It's absurd that an (at the time) 7-year old game from a generation ago is running this poorly. Deadlocked wasn't amazing, but it deserved better than this!

Didn't know you had played any of the Ratchet & Clank games or I just forgot you had before. Probably the latter knowing me.
Anyway, for as different as Deadlocked is I never disliked it that much. It at least kept the core gameplay rather than doing some big overhaul to it that would turn it into a Ratchet game in visual identity only, and in retrospect I remember it as a more finished game than Ratchet & Clank 3 is so it has that going for it.

I'm not surprised about the performance issues though. I think I recall that being a big criticism of that port when it was included for free or something as a digital download for the OG trilogy collection, and while I haven't played any of the OG Ratchet & Clank games on PS3 I know the Jak & Daxter ports to PS3 are changed in ways that make them worse than the originals so it just seems par for the course apparently.
