@oliverp The vibes are amazing to be fair. Especially on a CRT, the neon totally pops.

Finally finished the last chapter in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Really enjoyed it, even if it is just a 'bite size' Yakuza game. Now to play Infinite Wealth.

@Korra
I've played and enjoyed all the Yakuza games so I'm expecting to enjoy Infinite Wealth also but I have heard similar from other people that it's a good game but definitely has some flaws.

Just finished Burnout 3: Takedown on the original Xbox after 13 hours of playtime. Another very fun racing game after having recently played through DiRT 2. It's crazy how many fun racing games there were back in the day. The concept of racing, taking down other vehicles and increasing your boost gauge is just brilliant and so much fun.

The game isn't without a lot of frustrations though. You constantly crash into other stuff while racing, such as civilian vehicles, which ruins the fun. Not to mention that the AI can be ruthless sometimes. In some races, if you crash once, you'll be set back a lot. On the other hand, if the bots crash, they will respawn right behind you. It's really unfair and there are not even difficulty options to choose from.

Also, it's crazy to me just how many crash events there are in the campaign. Out of the 170 events, 100 of them are crash events. I was really surprised as I was nearing the end of the game and there weren't any more races to do. I literally had to do 70 crash events before I could finish the game. Absolutely bizarre. The crash events are fun, but I don't want to do 100 of them.

All in all, it's a very fun game but you can clearly tell this game was made in the early 00s as some aspects just don't hold up today.

I enjoyed Baldurs Gate 3 so much it inspired me to make another attempt at Divinity Original Sin 2, having previoulsy bounced off it twice due to finding it too difficult.

It was definitely more challenging than BG3 but I beat it last night, after what I think
