Good morning everybody,
You ever look at a game and think, boy things are progressing rather quickly, and wonder where all the content is?
Well that is basically where my head is at with Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise. After knocking out four of the game's eleven chapter in the first night two weeks ago, I finally see where that majority of time of this game would take place for true die-hard players. It's the side content... substories and mini games.
Now since I have no clue of how deep the lore for Fist of the North Star is, the added sub-stories go out of their way to basically have Kenshiro being deeply involved with the city of Eden, keeping the streets safe, helping out of as Bartender and Club Manager, fighting in the Coliseum and so fourth. This is what is expected to eat up the majority of player's time... and this is where the game becomes daunting, and wondering what I should focus on.
There is also the issue of keeping track of everything, while the main quest destinations are always marked, the in ability to access a map to give an over-head perspective of things. Since sub-stories would have me running all over the place, getting lost seems to be par for the course.
Also discovered an issue with the Bartending mini-games, since I use a wired controller, the cocktail shaker doesn't register the movements one must make to complete it. That is a rather unfortunate little detail. Now this is where folks would say 'why am I using a wired controller', and that's because the PS4 battery life is fucking week in comparison to an X-Box controller.
Following the stream, we sent the fun over to Sw33ts_Gaming who was playing Paladins. You can find their channel over at twitch.tv/sw33ts_gaming!

As I started to make some progress in the 5.2 content of Final Fantasy XIV, I came across the Sorrow of Werlyt story arc, which will see me facing the adopted children of Gaius van Baelsar. The first of the trails associated with it, Cinder Drift, was certainly a learning experience, as it's two forms that needed to be dealt with. I kind of jumped the gun when defeating the first form, using the Limit Break, without knowing there was a second form. So the discovery of this story quest takes priority over the Main Story... which means by the time I get to the Endwalker content, I won't have to indicate there are spoilers with the screenshots!.
For tonight's stream, we shall continue Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise!
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
