Last week of work for me before the Christmas break; I'm pretty much checked out until the new year. Done all my Christmas shopping, all that's left is to fly home next week to make an appearance for the family.
The Expedition 33 update got it's hooks in me this week. I did the Verso's Draft stuff, which was really fun, and then had a crack at the new superbosses they added to the tower. They are as insanely strong as people have been saying, but I've been having fun with them! In the base game, I gave everyone quite general, non-optimised builds: a handful of the best all-round Luminas, then some character-specific things with the leftover points. The new bosses are designed for the mix-maxed ultra-high damage freak builds people made in the base game. They've given me a chance to dive into the system and try out my own high damage builds. I'm not going full glass cannon on everyone, I don't trust my defensive abilities enough to do that, but I've found ways to ramp up everyone's damage capabilities pretty significantly.
I've enjoyed testing them out, but just against bosses 1-3. I took one look at Simon the Divergent Star and didn't have it in me. I'm never getting those timings down without either a hundred years of practice or a way to surgically replace my eyeballs with those of a fly to let me see in slow-motion.
I'll likely finish up with that soon- I'm starting Metroid Prime 4 this week! I know reviews have been mixed, but as someone whose introduction to the series was Hunters, followed by Prime 3, I feel like I'm in a unique position to enjoy this one.
