Far Cry 6
Continuing on to get used to things again. Including how to spoof the save system. you always have to go into the menu and that will apparently spoof it.
Biggest threat to me so far this playthrough? Falling to my death.
On the way to a mission I cleared out my first checkpoint for the area as well. Incidentally both times I died I ended up spawning there...for some reason. Maybe they do act as actual checkpoints. But here too get kind of a rememberance on what is Ubisoft's bread and butter, talking to people who give you intelligence about things. Now though this is a pretty good iteration on this as usually they feel a bit...to specific? But these people give you just random points of interests in the world things you might not know about really which its random nature is kind of neat because you are like 'oh neat what's this.' Though one of them did give me the information onto the Olusso cave location though there is a little bit more then that.
Next story mission was the rather iconic mission where you blow the hell out of a Viviro planatation where 'bella choi' is playing over the enviroment where Dani even calls it out. Just occured to me I did this in the daylight this time which might've helped me out considering I think I might have complained about doing at night making it hard to see things the first time. But...it was a little easier this time. The highlight of which was an FND jeep went charging into the frey as I shot out the driver causing it to crash and then taking out the passenger.

Also is it just the lighting in the CC or do beards look like crap in the actual game? I feel like you could spruce it up a bit by messing with the Shaders options. Think if you had them on Ultra the shinyness would go away. (Atleast on PC) Would load up the game to test it out but the EA app has yeeted the game out of my library and I don't have it installed.

Been having lots of fun with Geralt in Witcher 3. This is a crazy long screenshot dump again... Geralt is still running around Velen doing moster contracts. This was was like 10 levels higher than Geralt but died without him taking any damage. Quen is so broken OP it's not even funny... Did the pig quest. Still awesome. Continued slaying foul creatures. Gotta love the charcater design on this one: And this one... I found out that they added a brand new quest after the Netflix show came out where you can obtain Geralt's TV armor. The quest was actually not a short one and had two cool boss fights: First is against the ancient witcher wearing the armor you'll get later. Dude was possessed by this creature: And that's what the armor looks like: (I have to say it looked better on the show, but it's not the ugliest witcher set and I paid 2000 crowns to craft it so he's wearing it, dammit!) Some random pictures of haunting places with their own ruined beauty: One of my favorites: Really like the mood of this one with the deer for some reason: More pictures of Geralt enjoying the beautiful countryside: My favorite enemies, cute nekkers. They were level 34 and Geralt was 17 or something. RIDICULOUS! Flashbacks to 2015 when I did this exact same thing, taking on red skull enemies because the game is too easy on default difficulty. I should bump it up... I love their bone masks! First leshen fight, great character design! Eventually Geralt decided to focus on finding Ciri for a change and arrived in Novigrad in the dead of night. Ah yes, witch burning, the city has changed all right... Geralt met with Triss who wants to get the mages out of the city: Did some poking around in the sewers with Geralt and his weird haircut phase... Geralt posing as a swordfight instructor, that stuff got confusing fast.^^ Geralt met his old "pal" Dijkstra at the bathhouse and agreed to find his bloody stole treasure: Geralt leaving burning buildigs in his wake... I decided not to take a screenshot of what Whoreson Junior's place looked like... Geralt and Triss went to the rich people party: Geralt went after Philippa, one of the prettiest locations on the surface: Lots of portal hopping in the cave... Geralt was thrilled! Best screenshot yet of both Triss and Geralt on their mission to get the mages out, the faces they make, lol. They said their goodbyes. Dandelion got rescued, so he's safe too. Geralt is now ready to travel to Skellige to find Ciri at last but might stick around a bit and do side missions. It's an endless supply of side missions, I honestly forgot how much to do there is and how much fun all of it is.

Haven't been able to do this quest - it bugged out for me and haven't played since. My goal was to finish the DLCs then start over with no mods and see if that helped.

I went to the Black Emporium last night with my Qunari after I re-set my graphics options to Ultra and the beards look less plastic than in the screenshot I posted. As for your game you mean it's no longer apart of your game library? If so have you contacted EA?

Thank you for waiting, we are still adding animals to the place and that includes the Iguanodon as well the Kentrosaurus: I've been wondering, are there incidents where the dinos escape and start to eat visitors like in the movies? Or it's all just building a happy zoo with prehistoric critters? Yes on both accounts. The Sandbox has settings where you can adjust how much they want to escape, if they are a threat or not and other things. Campaign/Challenge/Chaos Theory Mode have their different difficulty. Ok, get things ready as it is time to decorate this place and, and you know what is next (Park Tour):

Oh really? That sucks. I'm battling a crazy number of menu crashes. Since they always happen when I do something specific in the menu I think this time it's not my ongoing PC issues I can't pinpoint. Trying to add a rune to my sword - crash. Like 1 out of 10 it happens. Repeated crash trying to repair one of my swords. Sometimes crashes upon loading my savefile. I remember I had crashes back in 2015 on my super stable system. But it's happening quite a lot this time. Couple of times it also happened in the world.

INDIKAPlayed a little more the demo this morning to confirm my suspicions that while it looks good, as a game... it's rather dull. There are a few meh environmental puzzles, some collectibles/interactibles to find, and two fairly boring characters. I'll be giving this one a pass...

I don't remember crashes but I had several bizarre graphics issues that I never had with the original game. The splash screen for the main menu would change whereas originally it was always the same house in the woods with the lady walking around in it (not sure if maybe that was intended?); the resolution on the menu page would suddenly be so low that Geralt would take up half the screen and I couldn't even see the menu options; crazy colors in-game, etc.

I'm really tempted to play through Battlefront II again....I thoroughly enjoyed the first PT even if it was technically a very short game coming in at 11h and xx minutes. It felt a lot longer...I guess that's because I was enjoying it so much and because I was new to it.

Finished up Dead Space remake and have moved onto Hitman. First thing I had to do was go install the ultimate lighting mod because good lord what did they do to the lighting!? I guess they tweaked stuff when the third one came out, but its like they dialed bloom and lens flares up to 1000! Thankfully the mod makes it so I can play without being blinded now lol.

These days I prefer shorter games than 100 hour epic's which is why I have completed Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines a bunch of times. Because it is a short game. Whereas The Witcher 3 which is a big game and has multiple endings, I completed it once and just accepted the ending I got.

As for your game you mean it's no longer apart of your game library? If so have you contacted EA? Not sure why it's resetting for you. Unless it was crashing every time on exit or something. Do think there was some bug with the shaders causing the plastic hair/lack of facial detail. Remember playing with everything on low and then shaders were on Ultra because I need my scars. The games being gone was some form of a glitch with the EA app. Had been having issues with Sims 4 (it didn't show in my library but had a shortcut on screen so I could load it from there) then had a monkey paw effect when I loaded it now since Sims 4 was there but 18 other games had instead gone missing. Had gotten Inquisition via disc way back when so wanted to track down the cd key before contacting support, but peeking at the forum they said it was "fixed" so tried logging in and out and boom, my games were back. So like, if anyone is having this issue they can try that. So might check if DA:I tries to murder my computer like it did the old one (tries that is). If it will download in this decade.

Curious Crow I played Dao and DA2 middle of last year with no dramas several times except I owned the all the DLC etc. but the game loaded without it. EA were pretty good with support and fixed it by giving me a code of some sort IIRC. Have not played DAI for over two years I think, in my library it is there but does not say when I last played it just the number of hours, 1,714 !!!!! Might play it after I finish this final run of Starfield, few other things I have to actually play for the first time though.

Is the Desktop icon set to run as Administrator, I seem to remember that being an issue for me with EA App/DA games if it wasn't.

Can't guarantee it'll fix it but it has sort our problems for me before especially with the EA App.

I thought EA App was like Origin where we couldn't run it as Administrator? If you go to START, then find the EA App in your Pograms List....Then Right-click and say "More"....."Run As Admin" is an option. I just checked.

dazk and Energizer Bunny 211 Thanks I will try that. But other than the options sometimes resetting I have not run into any bugs after reaching the Hinterlands.

With so many games out there that I'd like to play or replay, it can be kinda random which game I gravitate towards at any given moment. Andor led me to Jedi: Survivor (well that one makes sense), but anyway, I was watching a news documentary, and a Chinese Triad boss was mentioned as the suspected man at the top, this flipped a switch in my brain, well time to play Sleeping Dogs again. Haha. I've been wanting to do a replay for a while, but nothing came of it.
First thoughts on Sleeping Dogs, wow this camera while driving is going to take some getting used to, the soundtrack is great, and also the map is small. At one point I was trying to zoom the map out and starting to get a bit annoyed, until I realized the map was already zoomed out, that was just the map size. I had been playing for a bit too, I guess I forgot. LOL. Anyway, I really appreciated the smaller map. The beat 'em up combat is great, though I never really got the timing down pat, wanted to button smash too much.
The story is pretty good, though for good or ill it sticks to the tropes typical to those classic Hong Kong action films. When Pendrew was introduced as the Police Superintended, I thought he looked real familiar, like he was one of the bad guys from Rush Hour or something. Well you knew he was going to betray the main character at some point. Haha. Oh, and he actually was from Rush Hour. Pendrew was voiced by Tom Wilkinson. Sleeping Dogs had quite the voice cast of B-list celebrities.
Random NPC's have some interesting banter, they talk about events in the story, but I also thought I found a 4th wall break moment. I missed some of the conversation, but after getting arrested a few times when working on some challenges, I overhear what sounds like two cops complained about having to arrest some person over and over again. I stepped away for a second and when I came back I hear, "well they must not be playing very well if they keep encountering us." I wish I could've heard the full conversation. Haha.
Speaking of the cops, I had just finished a street fight, and while stuck in the mission update screen one of the thugs starts to flee towards my car. Once freed I tried to chase him down, only for him to hop into my car and start driving away, there was a patrol cop nearby but he didn't care. So as the car is passing me by, I tried to pull open the driver door and failed, the cop was right there and he immediately arrests me. LOL. On the one hand I was pissed, but on the other I couldn't stop laughing. Arrested for trying to get my own car back.
I was doing a quest in a hospital, and some doctors were talking about a rash of hit and runs. I laughed, they could just as easily be talking about NPC drivers as me. NPC drivers are crazy in this game. Haha. My valet was dropping off a car on the highway, a multiple vehicles smashed into before I got to it.

AC Odyssey
Was sleepy and tired because of the festivities over the last three days that I wasn't in any mood for games.
I dropped into Odyssey because I remembered stupid Ubi implemented removing accounts that are not active after a month. Not sure of it's in effect but I popped in to give it an activity log.
Finished Mirrine's quest to kick some Athenian ships, then she said; look for daddy. Ok. Kass dropped in first at the arena to whop the mercenary who's currently number one in standing and took her place. Then off to find daddy at some ruins. The dialogue between Kass and daddy is too short and stupid. Zero discussion. I really hope the devs that did Odyssey really find themselves better dialogue WRITERS!
Then the game cut in to the present. The most annoying stupid cutting in. Layla went off to find the ruins and I have to listen to idiotic exchanges that try too hard to show the relationship bond among the team members. Their fake passionate and high pitch fast exchanges give the impression they're all high on drugs. The VAs for the present day characters are really bad. No one is down to earth and intelligible.
Layla couldn't figure out how to turn on the lights at the ruins and went back into sleepy land. Kass returned and I popped her over to Athens to grab an item.

At this rate all future Bioware games will be half done and modders need to rescue it for free.
