Side Content Is What Carries Fist Of The North Star: Lost Paradise

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise certainly featured some bizarre things, such as having to stare at Xsana for three minutes straight, having to fight Jagi from a First Person Point Of View  Perspective... but the length of the main campaign is certainly coming into question. If I subtract the time of me just roaming around, looking for side quests, playing the mini-games and so forth... then that tells me the main story is only maybe 10-12 hours at the most. Don't get me wrong, I get why that is, as all the side stuff is meant to keep people playing with goals in mind.

Hell, I've fallen for the trap that is FotNS:LP's side content, it certainly is a lot of fun, even if certain things feel as if its meant to handicap the player to some degree (the race against Diego for example), and the reoccurring bounties can be a little silly but considering the 10 Million IDL debt Kenshiro gets put under is a major part of the game's side story. Not to mention finding little things like seeing Kenshiro hand out groceries and other mini cut scenes is a nice motivator.

That said, we did finish chapter eight, so that leaves three chapters left, so we could a few more streams left of this game, and if I want to just throw it in for a night of just mindless tomfoolery. Will be interesting to see how I choose to feature Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise after eventually finishing the main story.

On a different note, I did watch some of Dub of the North Star, and the three videos that did abridged parodies of some of the big story arcs...they were interesting to say the least.

Big thanks to FelKimChi for the raid during the stream! They were playing Minecraft, working on a rail! Their channel is over at twitch.tv/felkimchi!

Also more achievements unlocked in the Microsoft Solitaire Collection, it's getting really interesting to see what things I can add to my current streak of daily X-Box related achievements.

Played some Final Fantasy XIV, and I think I finished what was the initial Doma Enclave improvements as it related to the area called 'The Yard'. Also knocked out the MSQ quests Deep Designs and A Whale's Tale. Next time I play I know I'm going to be dealing with a dungeon and the end of the 5.2 content, which means I should be able to get back to the Eden side-story

For tonight's stream, we shall lead off with Forza Horizon 4, seeing what carnage we can get up to in that, and then after 9 PM Eastern, it'll be Gears 5 with Iceman and LvStrkr!

So on thate note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
