Well...now I’ve gone and done it.

I’ve exceeded 90%+ on Red Dead more than once, completed all of the main and a LOT of side missions on Skyrim...to the point of getting bored. As much as I want to play Ghost of Tsunami, aside from not being able to find a PS4 these days, I just cannot stomach the idea of purchasing a system just to play one game. (Maybe when the PS5 goes live I’ll be able to pick up a PS4 at a decent price).

Until then I’ve downloaded Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for the XBox. I’ve read about how hard it is; I’m not looking forward to that part, but I love this time period and am looking forward to getting into that part of it.

Anyone with tips/tricks? I’ll take em’.

I should just buy a new controller now, because I “KNOW“ that I will toss at least one against a wall after losing to the same ‘boss’ 47 times in row.

(Bonus points if you get the reference I just made)

Learn your button timing and reading the enemies attack and the ways you can counter it. Sekiro is a dance, fast paced and you know immediately when you mess up but immensely satisfying when you get it down perfectly.

Play the Dark Souls saga and become a master of dodging/counter attacks. Buy a few extra controllers for that journey.
 
my experience with drunk souls is that you either all give up because your too drunk to try or you get in a fight because your buddies are roasting you lol.

Left for dead 1 or 2 is another great game to drink to. Everytime you get smoked, charged, jockeyed, spat on or puked on you drink.

If you've been enjoying the open world RPGs like that, Dying Light is worth picking up.

It's a first person zombie game based around melee combat with degrading weapons and a parkour movement system. Has a pretty interesting day/night mechanic where stronger zombies come out at night.

The story is heavily inspired by Heart of Darkness (IE Apocalypse Now), so it feels more like an old George A Romero type zombie story than a basic "zombies are here kill them" B-flick.

Game came out in 2015 and is still getting developer updates, so it'll feel very up to date.

Can pick up the Ultimate Edition with everything (minus skin cosmetics) on Xbox for 39.99 right now.

Played the beta, not impressed at all and I'm a die hard Black Ops fan. I have it pre-ordered but right now I'm full sending it in WoW and with Shadowlands coming out in December...


I'd be surprised if Cold War takes any of my time.

It's alllll about the Battle Royal.
 
Destiny 2 is a whole new game when Beyond Light drops in 2 weeks. Sandbox changes alone will make PvP very interesting. Hand cannons were always viable, they are about to be even moreso.
 
I started a Discord because I'm dumb like that. Despite the name, this isn't sanctioned by the forum owner and is only for gaming. If you want to hook up with others to play... whatever you're into, let me know and I'll create a room or twenty.

A gaming linkup for our members. No more, no less.

Re: Sekiro

Okay so...I’m trying to take this slow and not be bitter that there is no “easy” mode. Hell, in the spirit of all things Samurai, the game, similar to their world:

You are either perfect or you die.

That said, I obviously got killed as soon as I encountered my first enemy. Now I just want to swing the sword for a bit and practice some; I’ve learned that dying too many times gives everyone in the village crotch rot or some shit. (They stop helping you?)

Google Fu say I need to find the Dilapidated Temple so that I can spar with Hanbei the Undying.

Sadly I cannot find a map to the temple, do I need to get to a certain part of the game before I am able to get there?

i accept that the game is stupid hard, but can I at least take a few practice swings with my sword before I face my first enemy?

To add - no “quick save” makes things all that much more interesting
 
You do have to progress to a certain point before you can get to the Dilapidated Temple. If the first handful of enemies are too difficult, just run. Sounds lame but yu can either spend the time to learn how to block and counterattack (which will be 100% necessary later on) or you can simply sprint past everyone to progress. This game is definitely trial by fire. It no kidding took me a good month of practice (intermittently) to get through the first few minibosses, and I played the Dark Souls games extensively. Just be patient and adapt to the speed of attacks, you'll pick it up.
