#GhostOfTsushima meep pic.twitter.com/vp11pdoR7Q — Cobra Kai Yoga (@DataAugmented) August 29, 2020 Finished the main story of Ghost of Tsushima last night; great story, combat & open World adventure… it was cheap too for a new title; not sure if that was to encourage people to buy due to Covid, or that the console is coming to the end of its lifespan, or maybe the studio isn’t gouging as much profit…
Tired of the games I was bouncing between I’ve settled on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey today & am enjoying it as much as the early games in the series. I wanted to enjoy it before, but couldn’t quite get a hang of the combat. However switching to the ‘alternate’ style seems to have done the trick now I have got the hang of countering. Off to explore the Greek islands 🙂
Hard to believe it’s actually the year 2020! It’s a date used historically in sci-fi, and particularly a Cyberpunk RPG game I loved as a teen… so excited for the Cyberpunk 2077 title that’s coming in September! Games I’ve been playing: Modern Warfare – today reached level 155 in Season 1; heaps of fun, but the updates have been a nightmare having to download DLC packs multiple times Sekiro –…

My gaming time has been taken up by Modern Warfare on the PS4, intense Multiplayer skirmishes, the regular updates from launch have kept it interesting. The variety of maps and game types is huge, although I’ve been playing primarily Domination. Progressing through the levels and weapon grades, I’ve tried out a select variety of weapons; focusing on short range quick to sight high damage, and recently sniper rifles. I’ve played…

PS4 ejecting disks automatically fixed by tightening the manual eject screw… this was a real challenge to find; I even doubted that the instructions were correct for my PS4 model… one of the times when the light on my phone came in useful. This solution seemed to have worked until this afternoon when it repeated; will have to tighten a couple more revolutions 🙂

2 new cheap PS4 games to my collection this weekend, and I actually went into the store to pick up both of them… if the price was right Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands I picked this up at launch, but returned it the same week as it wasn’t doing it for me at the time. As there’s a new version [containing all DLC?] I picked up a second hand version…

Yesterday I logged on to see that new Legendary Bounties were available, I went through the story like mission to capture La Reina de los Banditos, Barbarella Alcazar. I didn’t quite manage to capture her without taking her out, and claimed the Dead bounty. WANTED: Barbarella Alcazar The first of 10 new weekly Legendary Bounties in Red Dead Online The de facto leader of the bloodthirsty Del Lobos gang must…

I’ve just finished the beautiful compelling story of Detroit Become Human, that was free on the PSN a month or so back… wow it got me right in the feels at the end. I enjoyed the concept of Heavy Rain, but lost my save before I finished it and never went back. Beyond: Two Souls felt more of a feature film format, the pace, character variation, and plot was pretty…

No more mini bosses defeated today, but two new Sekiro prosthetic tools Where to find Mist Raven in Sekiro Hirata Estate – Bamboo Thicket Slope Idol You’ll find the Mist Raven’s Feathers inside a hidden temple. To access it, go up from the idol, grapple left and drop into a body of water. Swim past the bridge and then grapple to a branch. You’ll pick up an item and can…

I finally felt brave enough to load back up Sekiro 🙂 I’d left it where I didn’t want to face the Lady Butterfly, and the Blazing Bull was wiping me out in seconds. My reluctance was due to me grinding to unlock skills, but I through Sen and Xp to the wind and bit the bullet. After I’d overcome my fear I got into my stride; running through levels like…

I picked this up What Remains of Edith Finch as one of the monthly games on the PlayStation Network for the PS4, and it’s been sat on my nav bar downloaded for a while. After reading a post on r/patientgamers the other day selling the story I thought I’d give it a try. I found it profound to say the least, but a fabulous medium to tell a story. I…

Recently picked up 2 new games for the PS4, Marvel’s Spider-Man and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I’ve had my eye on both for a while, and as the digital copies are on offer for Easter I thought I’d treat myself. I actually messed up, accidentally purchasing Marvel’s Spider-Man Deluxe Edition while trying to remove it from the digital cart… yeah my wife didn’t believe me either 🙂 Sony refunded the cash…

I must be a sadomasochist as last weekend I picked up Fromsoftware’s latest title Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice 🙂 As with the other titles I’ve played of theirs on the PlayStation 4 (Dark Souls 2 & 3, BloodBorne) the game play World and levels are in a league of their own, but nothing prepared me for the difficulty challenge 🙂 Now I wasn’t coming into this blind; I’ve recently completed…

I’ve come back to it a couple of times for prolonged sessions, the last nearly a year ago. I wasn’t far from the end; I…

As one PS4 AAA title ends with a Western sunset, another with an eclipsed sun In the past couple of weeks I’ve finished the latest AAA title in my collection: Red Dead Redemption 2; and today one that I never thought I’d complete: Dark Souls 3 Both were fun, amazing artistic achievements, but so different. I probably put in as many hours on both games, one I started in November…
While playing Red Dead Redemption 2 Online on the PS4 I entered the stable in Saint Dennis looking to see how viable an equine upgrade was, to find to my shock and glee that the Red Chestnut Arabian horse was free! Not wanting to part with Nag, my starting racehorse [for some strange reason beyond my comprehension?] I shelled over $100 in game dollars to free up another stable, and…

Finally Red Dead Redemption 2 Online has launched on the PS4, and I’m in to it, even though I’m only 66% through the Story mode. One mission in, 4 player game, 2 went rogue from the start… reminiscent of GTAV Online, hope I can find a posse Just played a couple of multiplayer vs games… it’s chaos much like GTAV; not sure this game mode is for me, but let’s…
Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PS4 has been taking up nearly all of my game time, with brief breaks of Overwatch to qualify for season 13. I’ve a couple of great tips to make life easier that I’ll post soon, but for now here’s a tip for a Challenge that has been alluding me.
