Dragon Quest XI Scompleted

I'm thinking I'm not going to end up adding anything, I have quite a bit of DQXIS to get through still and I'd like to get that done before Zero Company comes out.

I've finished the vignettes, I was really afraid there'd be one for every character which would have felt like a bit much.

I appreciated the comic nature of the fisherman pulling my character out in full plate and just assuming I'm another fisherman stealing bait off his line, and the surprising warmth and care of the character.

That's the recurring theme within dqxis, warmth and hope in darkness and while it does bludgeon you over the head with it and that's anything but an original story, I think it wears that with such earnestness that it still feels good.

Metroid: Zero Missioncompleted

Game is a blast. Super addictive and a great portable pick up and play game for a few minutes. This game is also pretty short feeling. I'm like two hours and some change in and I'm at Mother Brain? I assume this is basically the end of the game. I definitely haven't been as exhaustive as possible in finding every pickup but I think I'm doing a pretty reasonable job. I suppose I'm missing a lot of classic Metroid items that might point to this being longer (Power Bombs, Space Jump) but I suppose it's possible those didn't exist in the original and were Super Metroid innovations.

Love the platforming, although it's mildly more annoying with the screw attack. I keep killing things I want to stand on.
