Feels good to be Submerged

Just completed this cute 2Gb title. It’s a nice explorer game free of any violence and ends with an excellent feel good factor.

There should be more games like this on the market.

Sailing away from it all

Assassin creed 7.80 Gb African chapter is glitching out on me but I’ll stick with it 44% in the game.

I last played Life is Strange on the 24-January this year. Using the Unreal engine this is a pure quality title and I know the prequel is on the way. At first, the High School environment was a bit of a put-off triggering memories of when I was bullied or just left out the “cool” gangs but the great guitar sound track and unique rewind feature pulled me in.

Life Is Strange™ gonna have to re-do Episode 1

Last few games I’ve played have all had female lead characters

I AM your Father

November 17, 2017 – StarWars Battlefront II goes live to the general public. By then the elites, pro-games, streamers and pre-orders would have already racked up hours of gameplay and earns new guns and abilities while they slaughter new or inexperienced players at will.

I’m still undecided as to whether I will be joining the battles. Game sequels carry a mixed taste, basically, you want more of what happened before but you want it 10 times better, faster and bigger.  No doubt EA is banking on grabbing at least 20 million players globally with this title and it being a big part of the annual $3.147 billion net sales.

Tales of the Expected

Star Wars™ Battlefront was simply a childhood movie fantasy come alive.  I remember the first time my anonymous team brought down an AT-AT walker….sheer geek ecstasy.

Hard to see how that feeling of aweeeeesome can be genuinely repeated.

I last played 30-Sept 2016 at 10:23 am after reaching the maximum level 50 at the time.  I never bothered with DLC so Part II kinda feels like a massive DLC.  Even if the single game PvE is a good story, the community will be looking at the 40-PvP campaigns.

It’s gonna be absolute carnage.

Time waits for no one

I had a lot more time on my hands in 2016 and would play non-stop for days without anybody bothering me. I don’t have that luxury solo gamer environment anymore so I would have to recreate it or suffer from unacceptable mid-game interruptions.

Only self-paced titles like Horizon Zero Dawn work well for me. I need to be able to randomly play for 10-60 minutes irregularly without it hurting the quality of the experience.

So, I’ve answered my own question. I will not be joining StarWars BattleFront II this November.

A long way to go

The Winter months are calling me.  Calling me to prepare for the weather and the darkness.  I try to get as much Sun time as possible knowing that I would not see it for more than 2 hours a day soon.

Ready for FarCry5 next year

Plenty of new titles will be coming this Christmas and FarCry 5 is set for February 27, 2018 smack on the edge of Winter.  By then my life will be totally different, for better or for worst.

I think I’m coming to the conclusion of Horizon Dawn Zero as the game prepares me for what looks to be the final Epic battle.

A formidable enemy

Boss battles are absolute fun.

I came up against a massive beast that took me 20 mins to work out how to destroy.  A brilliant feeling after the epic carnage.

Last seen 10 Days ago

It’s been 10 days since my last PS4 session….daaaaaaaaam boy.

My digital life is packed away in a box inside a box inside a secured facility for reasons beyond my control.

Abandoning my second Life does has side-effects though.  The real impact of no daily gameplay means there’s no outlet for all the f%*ked up thoughts in my head and I don’t have the sort of money where I can say or do exactly what I want in real life.

Major downside include

Inability to explore new environments

Inability to trigger fear

Inability to escape from Ordinary life

Lack of ability to communicate with like-minded people

Lack of escape route for angry or rage

Lack of tangible achievement or progress

Current daily game time Zero.
