Looking good. Roll on February 22nd...

I love VIII. VIII and IX are in my top ten games of all time! And probably always will be. The reason is the original files or data or whatever you want to call it for VIII have been lost. https://www.vg247.com/2018/09/14/isnt-ps4-xbox-switch-port-final-fantasy-8-preservation-may-answer/

Switched my focus to the witch quest in Velen and that took me on an epic trek through a cave full of secret passageways and hidden loot. Another example of the level of detail in the world design - in the room in the cave where you fight the guy who summons all the hounds, there’s a wall you can smash with Aard. Behind the wall there was a passageway blocked by a large boulder. My Witcher senses indicated that I could interact with it but bombs or magic did nothing. Then I got the medallion that allows you to dispel illusions so I thought “what if” and went back to that hidden passage, and low and behold the medallion allowed me to continue. I found a nice silve sword with three rune slots. The game is not completely bug free though. I had to reload when Gerald refused to draw his weapons or cast any spells in combat for some reason...

I wanna know how many games I got right!

You make a better list then!

Hello, my name is Sly Reflex and these are my top ten games of all time: Battlefield Bad Company 2 Bloodborne Borderlands 2 The Division The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Monster Hunter World Payday 2 Pinball FX3 Stardew Valley Warframe

Not coming anymore. Cancelled. https://gematsu.com/2019/01/ea-vancouvers-star-wars-game-cancelled

Crossing the bridge into Oxenfurt in this game has to be one of the most impressive spectacles in rpg history... I love this game. The level of detail is insane. For example in a village in Velen I came across guards trying to recruit peasants to search for the Baron’s wife and daughter. I’ve never played a game with a world so well brought to life.

New 350 page art book. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/xenoblade_chronicles_2_is_getting_a_gorgeous_new_art_book Pre-ordered.

15 hours in now. Since starting chapter two I’ve followed the main story which led to the Bloody Baron asking me to find his wife and daughter. I’ve played several games of gwent and also opened up numerous secondary quests. Not only is the game game graphically breathtaking but you also have to give credit to the music and voice acting. The voice acting in particular is consistently excellent. And I know it will get old eventually but I can’t praise the horseriding enough in this game. It helps that the game world is so dense and packed with things that towns and places of interest are never a million miles away.

I read that Kotaku article about Randy Pitchford, you can read his responses to the allegations there. Hard to know what to make of it. Definitely seems like a case of “he said, she said” though.

10 hours in now and I’ve reached Vizima. It will be interesting to see how Vizima has changed since The Witcher 1 (I don’t remember exploring it in the second game...). The whole of the first game was set in and around Vizima. I had some problems with my Wifi adapter (the internet kept dropping every couple of minutes or so and I was getting “the default gateway is not available” error messages), the troubleshooter always fixed the problem but it kept recurring, so Steam was never tracking the game. But I think I managed to fix it by uninstalling the wifi adapter and reinstalling it. Working fine now thankfully. Anyway that first chapter in White Orchard was great.

Play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC) - Finally playing what has probably been the number one game in my backlog since it came out. But as it happens I’m late to the “current gen” anyway so graphics wise it’s easily the most beautiful game I’ve ever played. 10 hours in and loving it so far. Want Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS4) - I’m glad to hear about the story recap update that the developers are providing. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - I’ll second Blakey’s inject it into me now setiment. Anthem - I’ve never played one of these persistent multiplayer type games but Anthem looks cool. Would be nice to play with a few of you if we can work around the 9 hour time difference. Total War: Three Kingdoms - Planning to play Shogun 2 asap. Wargroove - Could pick any number of indie games but this looks absolutely lovely. Bin Dragon Quest XI - Going back a little bit since I stopped playing this but yeah, I completely disagree with all the reviews that said this was the definitive Dragon Quest game. Not one of the better games in the series. I hope Square-Enix do break from tradition and reinvent the series in some way.

Updates available around launch include a Memory Archive that recaps the story of KH up to KH3, and an epilogue and further “secret” video that you can view after you’ve finished the game. https://gematsu.com/2019/01/kingdom-hearts-iii-launch-updates-schedule-announced All sounds good to me!
