What did you do today in any other game out there

Maker's End, and Aloy's first acquaintance with one Mr Faro

The story mode in Neatherealm Studios games has had pretty much the same structure since Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe (when they were still part of a dying Midway). For each chapter, you take control of a single character, watch cutscenes, and take part in about 3-4 fights.

There are issues with this format, and their stories tend to be a mixed bag.

I downloaded DA The Veilguard from PSN, today. It has nearly arrived.

While in there, I noticed that Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 have been remastered by Aspyr and will release in a couple of weeks. I immediately preordered. 😄 This series was my first experience with a fantasy game with top-shelf voice acting, deep story, etc... It will be amazing to hear Raziel, Kain, The Elder God, Ariel, and Moebius again!


I played more AC Origins. It's a bit sad that I'll have to shelve it for a few weeks. I'm in a good groove with it and I'm really enjoying my time with Bayek. Today he arrived in the Faiyum and is on the trail of the Crocodile. This is where the game peaks for me, in many ways. I really enjoy everything about the Faiyum, from the geography and visuals, to the cultures, to the awesome quests and investigation to find and eliminate the Crocodile.

I have a long day tomorrow, and probably won't have enough time to play. At least I know I'm more likely to resume in a month or two with the Faiyum arc just getting started.

I was a Teenage Exocolonist

I always had the feeling Dys was like...gonna murder someone or...become a terrorist. At least, unlike Anders, you can talk him out of it. But it did majorly turn me off the one character romance I was interested in completely. But then the Alien dude came along and just as soon as things get hot and heavy he falls off a cliff and dies.

Wtf game, now I have a sad woman boner.

Have put aside my MEA PT now and will wait for DA:Ve now.

As always MEA is fun especially the combat and Havarl is the most beautiful planet.

I completed everything on Havarl including the return after going to the Tempest doing the Taldyr mission and scanning the mutated animals. Killed the naughty Roekaar trying to use the mutations to use against the initiative.

Headed back to Eos to speak to Asari refugees and to pick up some side quests. Sure at some stage I will come back and complete this PT, how soon depends on Veilguards quality and replay ability.

Do wonder if this will be my last Sara



Havarl being Havarl, beautiful but lots of damn enemies that in this PT all respawned. "Enemies, Everywhere"

Borderlands 3

Gonna start with the equipment update first. Continuing to really love my LMG/ AR hybrid as it just continues to wreck things. Does seeem to be a pretty descent all purpose weapon...like a good LMG I suppose. Actually using it pretty descent occasionally at sniper rangers because it actually kicks less then my current Hyperion Sniper so its easier to aim, keeps able to put fire at least in the general direction and even put some accurate fire on target, then with its spreading orbs of corrosive goodness acts as basically a grenade so it kind of makes both my sniper rifle and shot gun a bit redundant...a bit...because it fills in those two rolls. But then the two things with it like I said corrosive damage so there are enemies strong to it and we also discovered while my character is immune to the effects...the wife is not. So was apparently doing a lot of damage to her character and while this weapon is just amazing I am now looking for a replacement. Seemed to find one of them but decided it was not viable, had a lower score...and think it wa sa sniper file. Full automatic one so it was really going through its own ammo. So looking for a good Legendary AR to replace it or at least a good 'purple' level AR in order to swap it out. Plus discovered a good use for the 'Companion' the Firefly inspired pistol which does extra damage against flesh. Good for taking on random creatures in Pandora like flying ones which were swarming the vehicle that me and the wife were in and I provided cover to shoot them off. Actually found a good grenade mod which caused some friction since I said something stupid but a lgendary 'Fastball' with flavor text referencing Major League. But the thing travels really fast, blows up in a short distance, and does 5K plus damage. This precipitated a conversation since I don't actually use grenades and rely on the drone and clone to spawn greandes, the wife was wondering if they would be that accurate and well tested it out and they are. The drone is useful again. But it likes hover over them and dive bomb them and its aesome just BOOM dead. Last but not least in the Eridium vault was a shotgun the 'Black Flame Candle...' which needs a Virgin. Hocus Pocus reference...which is really appropriate I just realized. Anyways though shotgun and right now my super shotty is the lowest level, its 100 points give or take about it and the reference is too cute so I decided to commit. Not like I am using the premium currency for anything else so might as well. And to my surprise its actually a shot gun grenade launcher...so not the shotgun close range LMG of the other one but a grenade launcher. So willing to give it a chance since I haven't had an explosive weapon in my inventory in awhile so it does fill a need and is nominally an improvement, potentially, over my Legendary Shotty. But the thing is given my experience with the last explosive weapon bit worried about it doing damage in battle to either me or the wifey, especially based on the notes, so I have kept the old shot gun in case if, when we test it, it ends up being a bit too much of a risk.

On the story front today's missions has to go up there as one of my favorites of it. We got to the proper meat of rescuing Tannis from the COV as she was about to be executed to drive up recruitment. And well the bosses of the level were ended up being 'Pain and Terror'. Well it increasingly dawned on me that 'Pain's' voice sounded super familiar, but I have had bad luck guessing voices so I wasn't sure and doubting myself, but as the mission went along me and the wife continued to note more and more. Pain and Terror is...Penn & Teller! Got such a good chuckle from it because we realized it was there model in the game to, Pain was the chatty one, and Terror had his mouth sewn shut and couldn't speak...similar to their cameo in B5. And then Terror was one of those midget tink things. I love it. The rest of the quest was just as whacky and just as off the wall. As we infiltrated the location and cleared it out to rpetty good music the two of them decided to take the show on the road, literally, as the base was revealed to be this giant water vehicle thing all mad max/ Wild Wild West/ That one movie with the cities on the road. And we have to pursue it to get stopping shooting its weak spots. Then turned into infiltrating that and clearing it out. The Wife admired the pistons, we had a boss fight...and then Tannis revealed herself as a Secret Siren. I'll admit nice arse plot twist considering there was set up for it but think that there is potential for hope because now we finally discovered maybe the best character in this, is actually a siren, so now we have a siren again. Course I worry the Calypsos will now go all slurpee slurp but this still feels like a turning point.

Shhhh, come here little guy. The boss of the Game Parlor asked us if we could help her locate her squid and so we obligue:

Pre-Downloaded HZD Remastered, given it is a remaster of a game I have already and have played why is there a delay to play?

Does anyone know if we have to start a new game whether we can NG+ it?

Apparently according to some I have a "type" 

I use a Mod that affects facial appearance and then just have to tewak stuff like eyes and hair etc.

Call Goblin Slayer,there is an underwater shark that needs to be hunted after a little girl decided to go exploring an underwater lake. My I adore this shark:

Discovered a new planet after Koboh in Star Wars Jedi Survivor!

Enjoying this game greatly so far!
