  I found a PS+ Deal https://www.cdkeys.com/playstation-network-psn/playstation-plus-1-year-subscription-canada Site looks sketchy but it worked for me. My co-worker got an extra 3 months on his whereas I only got 12 months but it's a solid deal. I always get screwed paying full price on PS+

  Update on FFIV replay: still stuck on the final dungeon. Was so damn close to the save room but I wiped on the Red Dragon fight. This game has plummeted in my FF rankings. Christ.

  Apparently the most recent patch for AC Valhalla causes the game to perform exponentially worse. Talking a 20 frame dip. DigitalFoundry has suggested people avoid downloading the patch of they can, since it takes the game from an almost locked 60 to an unstable 40 fps. I wonder if this has anything to do with the marketing campaign Xbox has with the game? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

  I gotta just book time off. Christmas with the family is canceled because we’re in lockdown again, so it’s just the girlfriend and I. Problem is that I have offline cuts due at work so taking a break is putting it on the shoulders of one other guy. The problem working for a small company is that it’s never a good time to take a break. I want to take like 2 weeks tbh but I gotta act soon. If I do, it’ll be finishing up Yakuza 7, starting Cyberpunk 2077, and also finishing up FF7 Remake. I might consider going hard in the paint and trying to do everything in THPS1+2. I also gotta see a doctor and just get shit done. Put some stuff up around the house, clean up a bit, and all that good stuff. Maybe being stuck at home for 2 weeks will be productive.

  @el-shmiablo In 2018 I played this in its worst form (PS3, local split-screen) and had a good fucking time. It’s soooooooo bad that it’s absolutely hilarious. But good call it’s pretty much right up there with Shellshock 2 for me. If you shoot the guns long enough they stop making noise. Also frame rate just goes down to nothing in split screen. And the graphics on PS3 are so blurry and greenish that is looks like algae is over the camera and on every object. It actually doesn’t look thaaaaaaat bad on PC tho. Idk how Gearbox didn’t get blackballed by the whole industry for this nonsense.

  Day 26: Game you like in a genre or series you don't Tekken 2 Never was a fan of fighting games but there's very few games that I've put as many hours as Tekken 2. Tekken controls are pretty brilliant, Upper left button for left harm, lower left for left leg and so on. So intuitive, even complex combos come naturally. Got to a point where I dominated most characters and was unbeatable in our local tournaments with friends. Great solo mode too, those story CGI videos were the bees knees.

  @paulmci27 That mortgage will continue to go unpaid. Never selling this badboi. Basically my favorite game of all time, occasionally switching with Super Mario RPG.

  I'm about 30 hours in with my power level at 106 or something and, pardon my French, but this is a fucking great game! I simply love this new formula of these three past Creeds. I've completed Grantebridgescire, Ledecestrescire, a certain "special place", and yesterday East Anglia's story arc, which was practically on Witcher 3 level, by the way. Really enjoyable. Now I'm heading to clean up East Anglia's area of everything, that's been my routine after completing the plot in a new area. I enjoy this loop immensely, there games are perfect for me. <3 I'm playing on PS5 and dear Lord this looks beautiful. Really pretty environments everywhere. And the smoothness on 60 fps is just so good. And the loading times are practically gone, I love this.

  @dipset I don't think they'll charge for the characters and story content, as they went to great effort to let people know those would be free. I have been seeing a lot of advertisements on my FB feed for the game's in-game cosmetic store, and I don't even own the game. Personally I'm hoping that this game ends up like so many other GaaS games and has a renaissance in its second year. As it stands, I'm glad I waited as usual. I'm a big fan of capeshit and definitely want to get the game, even if just to play it and shelf it.

  Bought the game on sale a few days ago, and got around to finishing the first couple missions. It's been pretty good so far. I especially enjoy the writing and the character performances, and the 30s accents are fun to hear, for sure. I'm playing it at Classic difficulty, and it feels pretty nice. The driving feels weighty and very satisfying, while the combat feels quite clunky and dated, but still fun because it's more than challenging enough. Also, I really, really like the sign guidance system. Like the guiding wind in Ghost of Tsushima, it's very integrated within the game's world, and it can be easily tuned out so it doesn't disturb the immersion. Lastly, it looks okay on my base PS4. The draw distance and level of detail in far objects can be lackluster at times, but the game looks splendid at night time, and the facial animations are pretty good.

  Finished it last night, clocked in at 41 hours, did pretty much everything. It's really, really good. The world and characters grew on me throughout, and my gripes about some of the moral choices feeling unfair slowly disappeared as I learned to accept them, and also saw positive consequences finally happen too. When I finally dive into The Witcher 3, I will be on the lookout for these people, and I'll probably be disappointed if they aren't in it. The final battle is ridiculously difficult though, to the point where it feels like only one specific strategy can work, the one shared online by everyone, which I had to resort to after failing so many times. Felt dirty and unsatisfying, but it doesn't take anything away from the overall experience. I feel like if you enjoy the world of the Witcher and are not totally allergic to card games, this is a must-play. It has excellent writing and voice-acting too, a very polished UI, gorgeous 2D art... Truly a gem, kudos to the team!
