Computer games.

Tonight I finished the second of the DLCs for Assassin's Creed Origins. I finished the main game a week or so back and have since been playing the DLCs, and I really enjoyed most of it. Although, I thought there was a huge difficulty spike for the second DLC, which focuses too much on boss battles against enemies that have an absurd amount of HP which takes forever to whittle down, and all of these can pretty much one-shot you. Although I beat them all, I found those battles to be a bit of a slog and not much fun. But there's so much to do in the main game before you even get to the season pass stuff, and all in I've put in around 85 hrs. Think I'll have a break before starting Odyssey, but looking forward to Valhalla in November.

I've still got to finish origins...

And Odyssey is still unopened in its wrapper.

I best get a move on before Valhalla!
 
For the past few days I've been having a go at Sekiro. My wife has noticed a drastic change in my language with this one, usually at the points when I've spent 20 minutes whittling down a health bar only to be brutally one-shotted. I've never played any of the Souls games (which some seem to think may make for a better starting point for this one), so it's all been a bit different for me. After an initial few hours of trying to time deflections in the first area before sprinting past the tutorial boss, I've started a new game. So far it's taken me - please feel free to laugh - just under 4 hours to get to the point where I've defeated the Chained Ogre, the third (but probably easiest) mini-boss I've encountered. Strangely, the three mini-bosses I've defeated have taken less time as I've moved on - I completely lost count of my deaths from the one in the prologue, then probably beat the one by the gate in 7-10 attempts, but got the Chained Ogre on the 4th or 5th try. I like the whole feudal Japan world, but just wish I could explore it a little bit more without the frequent boss fights (which I know are pretty much the point of the game). Anyway, I do like the game, but just don't think it's really for me as I have limited time for gaming and like to make a bit more progress when I do... I may pick it up again at some point, as there's a lot that's impressive about it. I just wish I wasn't so damned terrible at it!

Sekiro isn't too bad as long as you have good reactions. Compared to the Dark Souls games it really doesn't matter about how you use the arena - most Sekiro fights you really can just stay in the same spot. If you can time deflections, recognise when to Mikiri Counter the thrust attacks, and jump over the sweeps, you'd be surprised how little damage you will actually take. Doing all these things also builds up the stagger bar meaning you don't actually have to spend as long just chipping away.

Have fond memories of the game, chuffed that on my first playthrough I managed to get the most complicated ending by myself and it has some beautiful world/boss design.

Notice a problem here?

Eat bag of dycks, Bill (Gates, to be specific). Suffice to say I immediately went nose down...

They (Bing) don’t have photogrammetry for Liverpool or most places in the U.K. bar Southampton and Portsmouth so most of U.K. is auto generated by the AI meaning things like stadiums can come out a little weird. I believe people are already ripping photogrammetry data from google maps and importing it into MSFS though, seen the likes of Villa Park, Old Trafford etc all added, im sure Goodison will come soon.
 
Staying clear of the Avengers , can’t stand those games as a service type games, the beta side missions in particular where copy and paste grinding rubbish. The publishers are blatantly ripping the consumer off and they continue to get away with it.

Cyberpunk is probably the only game I’m looking forward to this year.

So why is that cesspit across the part 3d modeled and we're not. Bing can chug some wang sauce, too, while they're at it.
