Would have been funnier if The Millionaire was a Pachinko Machine, but it was fun fighting a One Arm Bandit, and even better watching it self destruct. This gets me to a little over 87% completion!
It’s been an Unreal weekend! Even the video I released today used Unreal! I think I’ll do something Source related tomorrow, like Portal Reloaded? I’ve been using a lot of swordplay and magic, gotta balance it out with some science!
It’s Day Two of my Three day weekend, and I’ve been keeping it Unreal! I’ve had my eye on Ghostwire Tokyo for awhile now, and thanks to a recent sale I finally decided to pick it up! It runs really well at 4K, has stunning visuals, the Japanese voice acting is superb and so far the combat and stealth have been pretty easy to pickup on.
Step into the shoes of Akiro: Who has recently ceased to be due to a vehicle crash. You’re only alive because of a soul that tried to possess you, and the two of you team up together for a crazy night out on the town.
Your original goal was to visit your sister Mari in the hospital, and thanks to your new soul mate you do actually achieve that goal, kinda…
I’m currently on Chapter 2! Just unlocked access to a bunch of sidequests before saving to take a break. That’s another thing I like about this game; I can save at any point I want instead of relying entirely on checkpoints. My only complaint is the lack of a quickload/quicksave function, but everything else in the game makes up for that one shortcoming. Oh, and there’s Photo Mode! If a game has Photo Mode that’s already a win-win.
Everything about my Three Day Weekend has been according to plan, which is impressive because I didn’t make any plans! I slept in, made some shrimp fried rice and a cucumber tomato salad for a Chinese Brunch, gave myself a bit of a spa treatment, finished up another Skyrim compilation video and finally got my inner cyber ninja on in Ghostrunner. I forgot how fun this game was, in fact…
Do you ever step away from a game for so long that you end up forgetting how to play? I had to go back to square one just to remember the controls. While I didn’t progress past where I left off – I did at least get an achievement for surviving a run without dying! So I had that much going for me at least. The last time I played this it was on my Steam Deck, which performs ok but realllly turns it into a hand warmer. I enjoyed it on a 4K screen tonight, with my only complaint being that mods don’t seem to work at all when I install them… I’ve tried a few seperate sword mods at the Nexus and I can’t get any of them to load, despite following the mod instructions to a T.
T’is a mystery that will have to go unsolved for now.
We made it a few more levels into Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light! Together we solved a few challenge tombs, and died everywhere else over and over again in a variety of comical ways that may hopefully provide some potential footage! There’s also a sliiiiight chance that we might have also solved areas in ways we weren’t supposed to… I’ll have to look up some gameplay footage just to compare. 😛
It’s looking like we’re not far from finishing the game. I only have a few more achievements to get and then I can add another one to my completed list! It feels so strange finally being able to say that I’m actually finishing some of these games. Between my Steam Deck and our Weekend Jam sessions I’ve been completing a large selection of stories, and setting myself up for plenty of new ones. More pics can be found over on Mastodon!
Think I’ll take the night off from posting. Not feeling so good… I do have something fun to post tomorrow though!
Open Thread!
Been sight seeing in Ion Fury the last couple of days. It started with me playing it on my Steam Deck during lunch, and then these last couple of evenings I’ve been uncovering secrets and destroying cybernetic wannabe jedi cultists. Apparently I drank 20 cans of soda, and I even earned a rare achievement for doing some extra exploring!
Made it to a little over 80% completion tonight! I beat David Hayter (Zangetsu) in combat, and he rewarded me with his sword. I also defeated The Carpenter, thanks to Zangetsuto! I’d play more, but this is a short weekend for me. Most of my co-workers are on vacation, and they’re making me do the splits this week – I don’t get another day off until Saturday. As a silver lining that does give me a three day weekend, so there is that. 😛
I’m glad I was able to make some more progress, the last time I played it didn’t feel like I got very far. Now the next time I play I’ll know what to look forward to! New things to find, and probably more death and powerups!
