Game-breaking bug in chapter 5-2 in Shadows of the Damned. Worse, this bug is in the original release. What a low-effort port. I quit. This is near the end of the game as well. I love Suda51 and Grasshopper games, but this game can eat shit.

Titan Quest II early access is definitely short lol only about 10 hours worth of content, so I finished that pretty quick. I'll wait for another big update drop to hop back in.

Decided to continue my schmup run with Gradius Origins. I only ever played Gradius V on the PS2, so I wasn't really familiar with the series. Didn't even know wtf Salamander was lol but this is some legit fun!



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

Finished Shantae 1 on Switch today.

Gonna be starting on Persona 5 Royal on Switch through my Switch OLED.

Also might start on Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain on PS4 through my PS5 soon, was gonna wait till I finish DMC5SE.



I started Robocop: Rogue City a couple of hours ago.

I'm surprised with the amount of fun I'm having with it. Usually action games based on movies aren't exactly great, but this one is quite good.

I’m sitting at 75hrs in Death Stranding 2 just started mission 9/16. Facilities found 33/42 with 26/42 at 5* and wondering how anybody even finishes this game in less than 150hrs. It’s such a slog compared to the first game.

The last few chapters go very quickly, I finished them in one evening but the idea is to wait to max facilities in late game when you have the tools and infrastructure and only do bits and bobs throughout the campaign, while addingats to infrastructure like in the first game to get that extra star up and some new gear and also do the sub orders as they become available. Also, lost cargo has a massive impact on increasing star ratings and there really is no point making a massive delivery. 

I can see why maxing facilities as you go along with the story would be disastrously mind numbing and take way longer, esspecially when some facilities have a lock that won't let you proceed to gain stars outside of suborders which come online periodically. I seen someone on my friends list take 180 hours because they didn't wait til end game to max, my PSN says 118 but some of that musta been AFK time cause my in game timer is less than 110 and I wasn't particularly effecient or planning and build all the roads, mines and a zipline network over the harshest terrain and BT areas and even upgraded many sections for increased speed and distance. I guess it was because going through the game I kept a long list of things to do, deliveries and upgrade materials to manage no matter what direction I went. You could well get there in less time than me yet, as most people I have seen tend to plat around the 120 mark give or take 10 hours. 

I’m at 95hrs (100hrs on my profile) so probably 120-135hrs max. I’m in the home straight tho, 6 missions left and 4 facilities left to find (10 left to 5* but that 5th star takes too damn long). I get the game really really wants you to build shit but if they wanted that … they shouldn’t have give the off-roader spiky tires. Straight up becomes the mako from Mass Effect.

Ride The Chariot | ‘25 Completion

Around the Network

I have been enjoying Linelight.

Well presented puzzle game available on a range of devices.



After finishing TLOU2 in chronological mode it’s deffo the way to play it, it groups the flashback levels all together so once they’re over you have pretty much uninterrupted gameplay. Fixes my only real issue I ever had with the game, that being how the flashbacks broke up the gameplay too much.

Playing Nikederiko: The Magical World right now. Really fun game. If you want a game thats very VERY inspired by Donkey Kong Country, Crash Bandicoot and Rayman Origins/Legends, then this is your game.



Finished Trails in the Sky (7 hour~ long demo) and I'm definitely buying the full game when it's out, might preorder.

Surprisingly good, visuals/animations/production values are of very high quality for a 3D Falcom game, and the gameplay is pretty unique, fun, and challenging already. The guys at Falcom seem quite talented but their games were hard capped by very low production values due to limited popularity, so it's refreshing to see this and I'm here to support them for it by buying it day 1 at full price.



Finished Gears of War Reloaded. Somehow I remembered where all 33 tags are. Ready for Metal Eden and Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion to release next week.
