Pretty busy week.
I have realised I have too many games going on right now. It was kinda simple with just PS5 and Switch, but by adding PC in the mix, and starting a game on all 3 is a bit too overwhelming for my busy schedule. It’s one thing to have a smaller game going on with a big one, but I ended up starting pretty long game on all of them. So, would have to do something about it.
Just played some Spider-man 2 and few matches of WWE 2K24.
Plan to continue with Spider-man 2 and finish the first, before switching to PC / Switch game. WWE 2K is just some fighting so may continue it for a while.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
Nice work on the guide! Very succinct and to the point. Exactly what I look for when I just want to see specific ending (or get specific trophy).
Hope they fix the sea exploration, but the game has been out in Japan for a while, so I doubt there would be any changes to gameplay now.
How was Ys IX’s performance? I played VIII on switch and loved it, but I was wondering if I should get IX on PS5 instead, to get better performance, though I like to play longer / JRPG-ish games on Switch, can play more that way.
Been a long time since I finished the game, but from what I recall it’s “definitely playable, but has issues”.
Most areas including dungeons run fairly well with a stable framerante, but there’s a lot of fluctuation when exploring the main “hub” which is this huge open-world city. Since you don’t do a lot of fighting in the city this doesn’t hurt gameplay too much, but it’s definitely annoying.
But there are some “tower defense” stages similar to Ys 8, and and performance can tank hard there. It doesn’t happen very often, and usually only lasts a few seconds, but it’s another thing to keep in mind.
They probably expect you to stick to the main story for the early parts of the game and go exploring the map later, when you have enough boat upgrades to make it less frustrating… but my OCD doesn’t let me progress without checking every corner of the map first. 😅
