KCD2 really is so good, 40 hours in and I've not even done the wedding crashers main quest yet, having too much fun thieving items and stealing horses!
If you don't like it, don't play it, and shut yo damn mouth
Got a bit farther with Sekiro, got the first deathblow of two on a miniboss, the Shinobi Hunter of Hirata Estate, I am finding the game significantly easier the more I play it. Which is a real confidence boost. I feel like this potentially a real turning point in my playthrough.

@Th3solution Since you previously expressed an interest in seeing how my Sekiro journey was going, I thought I'd update you, I've just defeated Juzou the drunkard, my eighth miniboss, and thus increased my maximum health and posture twice (You get an item from each miniboss, 4 of which are needed to increase your maximum health and posture once) and you get a trophy for raising it the maximum possible number of times (I am going for the Platinum.) There are ways of semi-cheesing bosses, but a minimum amount of combat is still necessary.
For this battle I was able to lure and then de-aggro the miniboss, then sneak up on him to take his first life (minibosses usually have two life bars) and then summon a nearby ally (not always available) to take his second life, the ally died during combat, unfortuantely, yet thankfully did not give his life in vain, because I was still victorious over Juzou.

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Nice work! I have to admit that I hovered over the purchase button for Sekiro over the last few days since it’s on sale currently on PSN for $30. I haven’t pulled the trigger though, since I know that I won’t get around to playing it for a long time. DS3 and Elden Ring are still in the backlog. Also, I’ve collected all the other FromSoft games on physical disc so if/when I buy Sekiro I’d like to find it on disc to complete the set. I wonder if they’d ever consider doing a PS5 remaster on it.

@Hapless Ah yes, quite the "beast" isn't he? I actually got him, my first try. Summoning the ally and doing the sneak first deathblow were the keys to my victory. I like how he spits poison at you after drinking his 'Unrefined Sake' .Anyway, with regard to making you want to play again - nothing's stopping you, my friend!
@Th3solution It's quite a different beast to the Souls games, but I am enjoying it a lot more. Steeper learning curve, but more rewarding once you get the hang of it. How is RE4 REmake going?

Playing Robocop. It is decent but I can tell it is lower budget title, with some last gen looking graphics in places. The ray tracing looks cool though. The combat is very violent as it should be and a whole load of fun to play. Hopefully there are not too many sections where you have to stomp round paerts of Detriot, as that was a bit of a drag to play.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Going great, bud. I only played about 3 hours this weekend but I’m fairly close to finishing. My game clock might end up around 40 hrs to finish, which is a little long for this kind of game, but since there is only one playable character (as opposed to the other RE games that have multiple) I guess it makes sense. The gameplay feels good to play, so even though I’ve killed off hundreds of these infected by now, it’s no quite grown tedious.

I'm a few hours into Alan Wake 2 and I think it's brilliant, although I'm definitely still not a fan of the horror genre in general (the dense atmosphere and jumpscares make me play it in shorter sessions than I would with an action game or something).
I was a bit surprised to find that the Night Springs DLC episodes are accessible from specific spots in the main game. What if you played the game at launched and finished it by the time this came out? Did you have to replay it?
I'm guessing they were just accessible from the menu in that case but that sounds less fun.
Currently playing Star Wars Outlaws, very high value production title, open world is excellent and I'm liking the transmogrification, thumb's up good job Ubisoft/Massive Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, also big shout out to the audio team and Wilbert Roget II, great composition.
Defeated Lady Butterfly in Sekiro. That was quite the challenging boss fight, got a newfound sense of confidence and accomplishment. Bring on the next boss!

@JohnnyShoulder Thanks, man. Yeah, she was definitely quite the toughie! What game are you playing right now?

I think I was on "The Devil's Pack" loosely guided main quest for well over a week a while ago in KCDII, and now I've recently been on the mission right after that (although technically it's concurrent) for maybe another week. There is so much great content in and around the main quests, and the main quests themselves being so open allows you to do as much or as little as you want.
I had decided to push on with the main as I felt it was time and I wanted to get back to business, but then I instantly got sucked in to a really deep medieval murder mystery that was potentially linked to the end of the quest that I was cracking on with. It's total madness and I love it.
Cracking game design once again from Warhorse. It's mind bogglingly massive, but only if you want it to be.
(I had to peek at how many main quests there are, and it looks like at the rate i'm playing it that I'll be finished by Christmas 😂) Although, I do assume that at some point it will lock you in to a good chunk of main quests in a row once more and by that point I'll be happy to really get stuck into more fast paced sections with whatever twists and turns they bring.
@Jimmer-jammer Sorry for the delayed reply. But, yeah, thank you, man, definitely not "a walk in the park", as you put it. A very challenging boss, indeed. Besides the final boss, which was the hardest one for you, out of the ones you did beat?
