Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

After about 14 weeks, we've finally finished Act 2 of Ghost of Tsushima as tonight was pretty much dedicated to major story points to finish up that part of the story after checking to see if we missed anything finding one last Mongol Camp and Fox Shrine before progressing the story. 

The multiple stealth sections in short order I could have done without, but in the end we're in the home stretch, but there is still a lot to do as we now have the entire frozen wasteland to explore!

Ghost of Tsushuma will return next Friday night!

Tomorrow we're back to Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes as we hunt Mini-Kits and Citizens in Peril!

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing Lego Pirates of the Caribbean

Work was oddly high paced, but productive... really wish I wasn't dragged into client monitoring for a second straight night.

Nearly finished the Star Wars commission, it's about 90% complete as I aim to get it as close to 5000 words as possible.

Got a birthday present for my oldest niece which I hope she likes... at the very least it can be re-gifted!

Got to consider what groceries to get tomorrow... so far on the list is milk, cereal, bread, and my usual pasta stuffs.

Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirates Life For Me

Good afternoon everyone,

Technically we did two streams last night... thanks to Comcast causing some issues at around 9 PM Eastern, where the upload speed was all over the place! Seriously the last time I seen my Upload speeds being that erratic were one year ago, and it took a letter to the FCC to get it sorted out! 

Anyway, the stream(s) featured Kingdom Hearts III as we covered the Caribbean part of the story, which ties in with Pirates of the Caribbean films, namely the third one which I have never seen. This introduce a big wide open world where a lot of sailing is involved, ship-to-ship combat, searching everywhere for chests and goodies. Since the PotC movies are live action, that meant Donald and Goofy got more realistic looks, particularly Donald whose feathers really looked incredible. 

Now the ship to ship combat aspect certainly took some getting use too in regards to how maneuver the Leviathan, figuring out max range of the canons and trying to build up the meter to unleash some special attacks. I think more effort was put into it than the the Gummi Ship portion of the game, but that's just my opinion on the matter.

Now, having never watched the Pirates of the Caribbean films, I can't say how much was used and if too much was worked into the game, but at at least the music wasn't as much of an ear-worm as it was in Kingdom Hearts II! There really isn't that much interaction with Sora, Donald and Goofy with the characters from the PotC films, but at least that was explained away with Sora, Donald and Goofy needing to make sure they were prepared before going to the final battle.

Managed to get the Blademaster achievement, which is for fully powering up a Keyblade, which was pretty cool. Only 6% of those who have played the Xbox version of KH3 has done that.

Next time we featured Kingdom Hearts III we have one more Disney tie-in world to visit, and the last set of Lucky Emblems to find,

For the raid we dropped in on PrincessPashley who was  doing a live remote stream over at twitch.tv/PrincessPashley!

KINGDOM HEARTS III Achievements

• Blademaster: Obtain a Keyblade that is fully powered up.
• Way of the Pirate: Adventure through The Caribbean and complete the story.

Worked on just doing some dailies in Final Fantasy XIV, think I'll save some things for streaming purposes. Ended up doing The Final Day trial twice last night... which is a bit much for that particular fight, but the 2nd time was randomly selected because of the dailies.. Also got downed and resurrected four consecutive times during that 2nd... that was not a good experience at all! I do have my Gear Score up to 562 as a Bard. 

Saw that the Chrono Cross Remaster is up for pre-sale and its going to be a cheap one, think we'll grab that closer to its release date.

For tonight's stream we're going to do a full run of Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered, we're going to have a guide up to get all the collectables and to hopefully have an incident free experience with it unlike with Life is Strange: Remastered.

And on that note we'll see you later tonight over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
