Finally got around to checking out No Man’s Sky on Switch 2. It runs and looks surprisingly well. It’s been a long time since I’ve played No Man’s Sky, so about 30 minutes of this video is me running around clueless before I realized you had to activate the map to find the hermetic seal.
Awhile back I picked up MLB The Show 25 on the Switch on sale to check it out. As you can see in the comparison video I put together, the Switch version is ugly as heck, but at least it runs. Hopefully there will be a Switch 2 version for The Show 26 with upgraded visuals.
If you’re looking for a baseball fix on the go, I guess The Show 25 on the Switch is an option, but I’d only pick it up on sale.
I spent some time today trying to dial in a new mic and audio mixer setup. I think I finally have it sorted out, but I didn’t realize how quiet it was during my Guild Wars stream.
Guild Wars Reforged: 002
I continued my playthrough in Guild Wars by knocking out a few more early quests, and I think I got through the tutorial section of the game. For awhile the game was feeling pretty linear, but once I got through the intro it finally started to feel like an MMO where I was probably picking up more quests than I’m going to keep track of at once.
I’m still struggling to get used to the targeting system, it feels dated, but I think that’s the point. Reforged isn’t really a remaster or anything, but my understanding is it at least added some quality of life improvements.
Mass Effect Andromeda
I also made some more progress in Mass Effect Andromeda. In true Mass Effect style probably 50% of the stream was spent chatting with companions.
I haven’t been very good at updating my blog lately, so I’m going to try to revamp it once again. Lately I’ve gotten back into streaming just for fun. I’ve found that streaming or recording myself playing games forces me to focus a bit more. Like most people, I think my attention span has started to decrease, and I’ve found myself skipping through dialogue in games or just trying to rush through things. Streaming has allowed me to slow down and take the game in, even if very few people are watching.
Some of the games I’ve been streaming lately are:
Project Motor Racing
Mass Effect Andromeda
Guild Wars Reforged
I hope to keep up with streaming / getting videos up onto YouTube, and hopefully I’ll see if I can kickstart this blog again as well.
I appreciate you stopping by! Let me know what you’re playing these days, I’m always looking for more games to check out.
