Yeah I just bought Sable on sale. Next on my list. Elden Ring update: beat the rest of Weeping Peninsula and Godrick at Stormveil (getting the cooperator was key). Now in Liurnia trying to get the Flintstone key. Most unpleasant thing was losing all my runes to an invader in the Roundtable which I thought was a safe space. Beat the fucker after 30 tries and for some reason still didn't get the runes back. Thought I grabbed them every time before the fight began.

Godrick was a big step up in terms of diffriculty, so instead I explored Limgrave East and did a bunch of those story lines (the fort, the man-wolf, the mariner). Just went down to the peninsula and beat that fort. When it displays a message on the screen and you can't fight, but enemies still attack you is the worst. What a design flaw.

I beat some more caves in Limgrave, found the big sword, then rode past the ogre on the horse like it was suggested. I beat Margit with the help of a cooperator (I died a lot) and am now in the middle of Stormveil Castle. That knight in the dark room fucked me up many times. I still can't use incantations, so wondering when that unlocks.

Whoa, optional? That's where the light of grace points to, and when I went south the bridge was blocked and I got instakilled by some fireball. So I thought this was definitely the place to be going. When I tried to ride into the castle on the horse, the horse disappeared, so I thought the game was telling me I couldn't use the horse in this section. I'm level 15 by the way.

I like these a lot.

Well so far things are not going well in Elden Ring. It took me a dozen tries to beat the mini-boss in the cave, and now I'm stuck at Stormgate. I beat the Ogre once, but got sniped by the archers after.

Prognosis does not look good then. What I hated most about Sekiro is making me redo like 10 minutes of clearing enemies to get to a boss that basically two shots me before I get a single hit. Giant fuck you to the player. And can't use any of the stealth skills against the bosses either. And respawning enemies on save too! The stealth parts were fun until you're doing it for the 30th time.

Now I'm bummed I never played the DLC. If you haven't played Returnal, that is also worth it. I just beat A Plague Tale: Requiem. Brutal story. Harder than the first game. I'm actually going to try Elden Ring, I think. I can never make it far in FromSoft games. The early bosses always pretty much instakill me. And I beat a lot of games on hard in the first go, so I don't just suck at video games. Something doesn't click for me with them, and I hate redoing everything just to get slaughtered again at the end. But too many accolades to not give it a try.

Prey is also excellent. I played it on hard, and it legit builds real tension. I just started A Plague Tale: Requiem. I loved the first, but this hasn't grabbed me yet.

Yeah Resident Evil 7 is quite impressive. I love Village too, but it's a different vibe.

I beat God of War Ragnarok. Pretty solid experience all the way through. Nothing revelatory in way of story. Gameplay is optimized, world is much more lived in, and open world elements are way more interesting.

God of War Ragnarok of course. I think I'm closing in towards the end, but it's really hard to tell.

This album is good.

I don't like most of the vocals, but do like the production on Die Cuts. Maybe we can get an instrumental version later on.

Playing Olli Olli World. It's cool, but I keep trying to use Tony Hawk's Pro Skater controls, which are very different.

Finished Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Ending kind of isn't there because of all the side content, but really enjoyed the journey. I may do Inscryption next, or just wait until God of War comes out.

This game is amazing. I beat it. It was hard, but I can't get past the first bosses of Souls-likes, so I'm definitely not an elite gamer. This is also the first roguelite I've beaten.

When I first found out about the first civilization or whatever in Origins, it was pretty cool. But hear you.

I started Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I dig it. I wish more of the lore was transparent for someone who just started with Origins and skipped all the grindy old school games.

Gave up midway through season 4. Prepare your expectations accordingly.

Are You The One? has entered the chat.

I beat Infamous: Second Son. Good, small open world game. It definitely feels like a precursor to Spider-man.

I beat Mass Effect 2. I was excited to get to the center of the galaxy, and that was a bit disappointing. Still a good game. I started Infamous: Second Son and will try to beat that before I start Mass Effect 3.
