May 2021 Channel Update – Juggernauts Ending (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Aaaaaah! Things have been so hectic I nearly forgot to write a post!!! Feels like I blinked and it’s the end of May already! We're almost half-way through 2021!? Whaat!?!?

Hope you're doing well wherever in the world you are. Here in Canada, vaccine rollouts have been steadily increasing, and a lot of my friends are finally getting their first doses. Looks like the end is in sight and we can regain some sense of normality… soon-ish? (but I am still probably going to be inside playing video games most of the time anyway looool)

TL;DR

• Ongoing: Cyberpunk 2077, Subnautica, Mass Effect Legendary Edition
• Upcoming: FF7R Intergrade, Subnautica Below Zero, indie stuff hopefully!

Games Finished Since Last Update

EDIT: I completely forgot about this lol

I took a first look at:

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139...: Third person hack & slash action RPG.  I played Nier Gestalt back in 2017 or so, so it was a nice trip down the memory lane to go through this first NieR game again. It's definitely nicer to play & look at now! I've heard there are changes outside of the general remaster treatment.

Progress on Current Stuff

Cyberpunk 2077: I’m at the very tail end of my playthrough, in the last 1-2 story missions or so!! It will take me maybe 1-2 more weeks to check out the other endings, but other than that it should be a wrap for this 6-month long series... until the story expansions anyway!

Subnautica: I also seem to be at the end-game portions of this one! It’s been a great ride.

Behind the scenes stuff: this is likely one of the most time & effort-consuming series I’ve done since a good portion of my “organizing stuff” play time doesn’t make it into a video. I love the game so it's not that I mind, but it does hamper with my schedule in that I normally might be able to juggle three “average effort” video series, but if one of them is Subnautica, then that becomes really difficult. Which brings me to…

Mass Effect 1 Legendary Edition: I’ve had a slow start to this (because of the aforementioned) but I am sooo baffled by just how good and lore-dense it is just from the first few hours. It is good. That is all. I am super excited to dive more into this ASAP.

Upcoming Stuff

Once CP2077/Subnautica finish up, Mass Effect will be the next thing to stay for a while, and some space will open up in my schedule for new stuffl, likely beginning with FF7R Intergrade coming out on June 10. (I did manage to get a PS5 and have it all set up!!)

I’m also interested in continuing with Subnautica: Below Zero, but realistically, juggling three series where one is a Subnautica may not work so well lol. I’m thinking I’ll focus on Intergrade (shouldn’t be that long as it’s a DLC), use that time as a break, and then return to Below Zero in full force.

Seems like it’ll be a relatively slow summer with not many big releases after that. Really hoping to get back to some indie games too! There have definitely been a few I’ve held off off on just from lack of time 😭

That’s all I have! Hopefully by next month’s post, we’ll get some more variety with new stuff starting up. Thanks as always for your support, and have a great rest of May!

Welonz
