Play Want Bin Expense: 2016-08-15

I think I may have played No Man’s Sky this week. Did I play anything else, though? Why not find out!

Play

No Man’s Sky (PS4)
Aye, I got this. Pretty expensive at £37, even though that was with a chunk of money off. It’s rare I pay that much money for a game that isn’t Hyrule Warriors or Fallout. I’ve not been disappointed though, despite some repetitiveness (land, get stuff, take off, find next planet, repeat) but that’s just the way I’m playing it. Stupidly sold stuff for a rubbish price thinking I was getting a good deal, but misread the green/red percentages. Which meant I couldn’t buy a ship I wanted. Boo! I wrote about my first hour earlier in the week, but I’m closing in on ten hours now, I suspect.

Lego Marvel Avengers (PS4)
I know the framerate would be terrible in two player, but I sort of wish I’d got the Wii U version for the screen-each feature. Split screen has felt quite restrictive so far, even though it wasn’t on Lego Jurassic World. We’ve finished the Avengers film-as-a-set-of-levels, and was surprised how close to the source material the game played. It even had Hulk’s “Puny God” line, which is the best line in any film ever.

Beware Planet Earth (PC)
Another few levels on this finished off. I’m into Winter now, which is presumably the final section of the game. It’s also more than a bit hard at this stage in the game, and I constantly feel underfunded and underpowered. If the difficultly curve continues like this, I’ll be upside down in a few levels time.

Pokémon Go (iOS)
Everywhere I go, I always take the pokemonz with me. I’ve caught around 700 in total now, have 60 in my Pokédex, and am constantly running out of space for both items and for Pokémon. It’s still fun though, and makes my lunchtime walks a bit more interesting, if nothing else.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (Wii U)
I’ve levelled everyone up, improved their stats with incense, got better weapons, but fire and seal resist/repel/drain on everyone I can, improved all the skills that do ice damage (the final boss’ main weakness), and added a couple more session skills to those characters missing a few. I could do more levelling or weapon grinding, but I think I’m ready to give the boss another go now. Pray for me.
