The November 2019 Free PS Plus Games are : Nioh and Outlast 2!
Nioh 2 is coming out sometime next year so it makes sense to put the first game out for free to build interest.
Outlast 3 has been confirmed. This probably makes sense coming out of Halloween and is more of a horror game than The Last of Us.
I have not heard much about Nioh besides it being an amazing game in the same genre as the Soulbourne games. Outlast is a very scary game series. I like how Outlast 2 takes place in Arizona, I wonder if it is a fake Arizona town. I will find out on November 5th. I might start with Outlast 2 over Nioh but I am not sure how far I will get in either game.
Nioh is a $20 game now that it is part of the PlayStation Hits line.
Nioh 2 is going to be $60 and can be preordered now through the PlayStation Store. The game will come out in 132 days. There is also a DIgital Deluxe Edition for $80.
There are three avatars, each for 49 cents. Okatsu, William (the main character), and Hanzo.
There is a static theme for three dollars.
A Season Pass for $25 and a Complete Edition of the game for $50.
I have the SHAREfactory theme which is free and the Yokai Static Theme that is also free that I will be using as my theme while playing the game.
There are three DLC Chapters.
Dragon of the North ($10)
Defiant Honor ($10)
Bloodshed’s End ($10)
So the Season Pass seems to be a pretty good deal at a savings of five dollars.
PSPrices states Nioh has gone as low as $15.99.
Outlast 2 is $30, and right now the PlayStation Store is offering it for $7.49, so hopefully no one buys the game at that price this week!
There is DLC for the game. PSPrices states $7.49 is the lowest it has been.
So best way, the two games are worth $50 together or at their lowest, $24.
Nioh came out on February 7, 2017 and Outlast 2 came out on April 25, 2017 – so both games came out months apart and within 2017.
. . .
PlayStationTrophies.org has excellent guides for both games :
So I am pretty excited about these games! If I take to Outlast, I might look into getting the first game but I imagine the second one will be enough for me as it is a stand alone story.
. . .
I finally beat the first boss who is on the 10th floor of Let It Die. I ran out of my free lives and had to buy ten additional lives for only a dollar, which seemed decent enough, so I bought my first trophy but at least I am done with that game. I might come back to it one of these days and get the broken equipment trophy. If I attempt that, I will just start with the first floor and work my way up. Those dman flying drill robots really kill my buzz as they take so much of my health and I am not good with countering them. Fun game though with lots to do but I was mainly focus on getting that first boss fight under wraps.
. . .
I also gave Deus Ex Mankind Divided a proper chance. I wanted to get pass the helicopter section but I cannot figure out what am I supposed to do there. Am I supposed to take out all of the enemies and then concentrate on the helicopter? I need to look it up. I got the trophy for doing all of the tutorials (which I did not know there was a trophy for) and then got stumped by the helicopter section. But I stopped so I could jump into Let It Die as I knew that was going to be a longer commitment. Apparently there is a trophy for inputting 0451 into the very first keypad so whenever I go back to the game, I might as well start over to get that trophy as I am only like 30 minutes into the game and that will go faster now that I am more familiar with the controls. I really do like how simple the stealth takedowns are done with pressing circle and those can become death takedowns if we hold circle down. I am going to attempt a non-lethal playthrough. I do wish there was a simple punch option as I was standing in front of the helicopter with no way to attack it as I was all out of ammo with my stun gun. I had picked up other guns but I cannot figure out how to switch weapons while avoiding the enemies attacking me.
. . .
I had such big plans to end the month with Man of Medan but then I saw Rocket League was doing a Halloween event, Haunted Hallows.
Thanks to Rocket League for hosting their own video.
I have been seeing it advertised but I did not know it was a Stranger Things event. Finding the above video, I see this is an annual event.
I earned the spider crawling animation and I plan on getting the leaf exhaustion and wood tires so I have to compete in 27 matches to earn those two items and I think I should be able to do that before the end of the event.
Then I will probably put the game away until their next event, if anything catches my eye that time around. I am sure something will be worth a few games. I do like how freely they are adding out pumpkins, every match has at least ten pumpkins to go towards the prize items. I have plenty of time as the event ends on November 11.
. . .
Once Burnout Paradise Remastered goes on sale (hopefully prior to the end of November, or I will just wait to see if it becomes the free December game) for six dollars, I am still committed to buying that game.
. . .
Have a Happy and Safe Halloween! Walker Dennis is going to be Spider-Man this year!
Thanks to Rocket League and Grand Theft Auto V, I finally got to Rank 16!
Sorry the picture isn’t better, I should have changed my theme and then taken a picture and reverted back to the Las Vegas theme that I got for Walker Dennis and his love for Chad Wild Clay.
Gabe Gurwin writes that: Bronze trophies are worth 15 points, silver are 30 points, gold are 90 points, and platinum trophies are 180 points.
So I knew once I got the platinum for Late Shift (which still hasn’t happened), I was for sure making it to Rank 16 but that was probably going to take a while before I got back to that game and then another round before I beat it.
. . .
I was having a blast playing Rocket League online and just trying different modes. The 4 v 4 match was intense and no wonder they nicknamed it the Chaos Run, as so much is happening at all times. It took a long time to find me a match but once the game paired me, I was pretty worried about making sure my team won the game and we did in overtime! I was fully committed to just selecting the option again until we won but once we won, I ran out of that lobby to try other modes.
I still need to complete my first offline season, and now I wish I had the forethought to have made sure I had used either a Dominus or Takumi for an entire season so then I could have earned Winning is Winning and Champion at the same time. But that’s okay, I’ll play two full seasons and still enjoy the heck out of it. It would have just saved some time, but I’ll be so much better at it the second time around.
I’m still using the Cristiano wheels to try to get 50 km as I got 10 km on them so I just have to keep using them.
I’m still trying to earn items, it just takes a long time to do so. I barely have any rare items but once I get five of them, I have to trade them in to earn a very rare item and then win a match wearing that item. I’m also trying to earn my first painted item too. I haven’t come across Certified Items either.
I’m still not good enough to play against non-rookie bot opponents in handicap matches.
Those are my basic trophy goals for Rocket League but even after I get those and maybe a few other trophies, I’ll probably keep this game in the rotation and just enjoy myself that night. Such fun!
. . .
I started Grand Theft Auto 4 with the pure intentions of just earning trophies. So I cheated and got the Play in First Person Mode for 15 hours as I hate playing in first person mode if I have the option for third person mode. I left the game on all night and used a rubber band to keep the right stick at an angle so the system nor the controller would turn itself off.
I played as Franklin got a slew of trophies. I already had 200,000 for the cab company but I saw there was a side quest where I could pick a guy up and he’ll give me a good stock tip. I only earned like $80,000 more dollars when I thought I was going to get into the millions but it was enough of a bump to earn me a trophy for using the stock exchange. Plus, I was able to fully modify Franklin’s pistol and his personal car. He bought the cab company and then did a private ride and maybe got a girlfriend out of it? I don’t know, they were flirting but then the next night, she was too busy so I’m not sure what is happening there. It was late though so I didn’t blame her.
I got the team together to do a FIB mission. Then I thought I’ll quickly play as Trevor and get a few of his trophies but instead I did the prep work for The Merryweather Heist, which will be the next thing I do in the game. Oh, that was after I tortured a guy as Trevor so Michael could snipe a chain smoker.
I’ll probably still try to knock out a few of Trevor’s trophies but at this point, I’m just committed to just beating the main story and I’ll see where I go from there.
. . .
A game I am done with for the meantime is Yakuza Kiwami. I was having a great time escaping from the funeral until I came up against Futoshi Shimano.
From what I’ve read, he’s by far the hardest boss in the game, and the other ones are more fair. I also read the game has 15 chapters which I was looking forward to playing through all of them but I spent like 30 minutes dying to Futoshi Shimano and that wasn’t even a fun 30 minutes.
I read that the match does essentially take 20 minutes of the most boring fighting there is. Essentially, we have to hit him, run away, and repeat. Which is not great and I clearly didn’t have the patience to do keep trying last night. I’m hoping the game autosaved my progress as I really don’t want to do the 20 minutes of fights that led up to Shimano but if I have to do it, then that’s just what I have to do but, for now, the game is out of my rotation. Be more fun game!
The PlayStation Plus subreddit just started accepting guesses for what the free September games are going to be. Someone on the Trophies subreddit mentioned how they got the plat for Grand Theft Auto III and now I really want to play that game again. It would be nice to get it free of course but I added it to my PSPrices wishlist.
There is two ways about getting the game for the PS4. One is to buy the trilogy pack that comes with Vice City and San Andreas. Which I really liked Vice City but I didn’t quite get into San Andreas. Vice City, I went back too later to see if I could goof around in the world but too much time had passed and it just felt like a foreign city to me. San Andreas had a mission very early on where I had to chase a guy on a bike while I was also on a bike (which is fair) but I just never got good enough to complete it and that left me feeling defeated. I even tried to keep CJ on a bike to increase his speed abilities but it was never enough.
The trilogy is usually $35 but goes as low as $17.49, which seems pretty generous. Especially as III by itself is $15 but goes as low as $7.49. Which I wouldn’t mind getting the trilogy for $18, as three full games for $18 is an amazing price! But if III goes on sale prior to the trilogy, eight dollars for a game I really want, is a great price too! I can only imagine if one is on sale, the other would be too. So it is a race to see which goes on sale first!
I would feel compelled to play Vice City and San Andreas too, and I’m way better at games now, so I’ll probably have a great time but I’m also older and don’t have all the time in the world, so these games would hold me over for quite some time. Plus, I own them, so I can play them whenever.
I bet I don’t get the platinum for it but I just remember loving III so much and having a great time in Liberty City.
. . .
We really need to move Stranger Things Season Three up our watch list as :
Thanks to Dead by Daylight for hosting their own video!
Nancy and Steve are coming to Dead by Daylight! They are bringing a demogorgon with them and a new map too!
I can only imagine this is going to be upwards of seven dollars with two new survivors and a new killer. If we can finish the series in time, I’m buying this day one, if not, I’ll be buying it once we finish it. I still want Ghostface which I’ve been tempted to just buy right now but I imagine once this gets released, all of the other DLC will get discounted. That’s what I’m hoping happens.
The Dead by Daylight subreddit is getting hyped for it too!
Which sounds pretty cool, especially once redditors were explaining the actual benefits.
. . .
During the latest PlayStation Store update video, Rob mentions new game, Erica, that I really want to get. It is only ten dollars but I think I will still wait for a deal on it.
Thanks to PlayStation for hosting the trailer.
I just finished my sixth playthrough (second to last) of Late Shift and I’m sort of in the mood for another live action game where I get to make the decisions. Seems like either the game just came out or it just came out and people have already unlocked all seven endings already. Which seems way fast but maybe it is a shorter game but that seems odd for a mystery.
Seems like some good and honest reviews for the game. Seems shorter than 90 minutes so all seven endings might be fast to do. There apparently is an app too that hopefully actually works unlike Beyond : Two Souls app that would not connect to the PS4. Until Dawn had an app but it was mostly a fun novelty to track friendship meters and to do a quiz to see which character you are. I want to say after the quiz, we got a fun fake phone call that I had to uninstall and reinstall each time for someone else to experience it. Pretty fun.
. . .
I got a lot done in Lego Marvel Superheroes 2. I completed the Ego the Living Lego Planet level so I have two more story missions before having to replay them all in Free Play. Before that, I’ve committed to just doing the six DLC levels, once I complete one, I’ll go right back in for the Free Play and trophy cleanup. Then I will tackle all of the story missions again with Free Play. I also got Knowhere unlocked but none of the hub activities were available besides the cartographer monitor. Oh, and those birds showed up so I have the Arial Avenger challenge completed. I also rescued Stan Lee twice and completed maybe five races. I nearly lost my mind doing so, but after completing the Billboard challenge, I earned Black Widow’s motorcycle which made two races much easier to handle. One of those races was a webslinging one that was pretty difficult but now I have the Captain Britain Spider-Man. I also unlocked Vulture too, so that was nice. He’s the version of Spider-Man : Homecoming.
So tonight, I’ll play Beyond : Two Souls and do the briefing chapter, which is a short video and then I’ll do whatever comes afterwards.
. . .
I got to play Sniper Elite 4’s second mission as well. It either seemed shorter or I didn’t have as many tutorials to learn skills with. Mostly, they taught me how to not be spotted by a sniper and then I got spotted anyways as I couldn’t really make out where he was. So I’ll definitely attempt the third mission next. I’m really enjoying myself with the game. I got to rank 6, and I also shot a guy in his foot and then shot him in the nuts for that sweet nutcracker trophy.
I think my rotation plan is working as I envisioned, but it is definitely too many games as I want to play all of the games and it is too long of a rotation before getting through the lap. That’ll become faster now that Yakuza Kiwami is out and Late Shift is one playthrough from being done. I do like taking a break between playthroughs as it would be a bit much watching the same film over and over again. Though I was tempted to just knock it out that night but that isn’t the right mental state to play. Plus, it would have been another two hours.
Comixology added four new comics to their list for the week! Not only are there four comics but they are all What if…? comics!
What If? Civil War (2007) # 1
What If? Wolverine : Enemy of the State # 1
What If? Spider-Man : The Other # 1
What If? Planet Hulk (2007) # 1
A total savings of $7.96!
I’ve actually read all four of these and they were all pretty good.
Gosh, I thought I wrote a review for What If? Wolverine : Enemy of the State but it doesn’t look like I did. I’m really am the worst! Such a great comic and I reference it a bunch when I think about how much of a villain Kitty could be if she went bad.
I imagine since they wrote (2007) that means there has been additional Civil War and Planet Hulk What If titles which makes sense as those two are ripe for additional stories to be told.
. . .
Just to try to make this a bigger post, I’ll give a few updates on my gaming progress. I’m still at rank 15. I played some Dead by Daylight last night, once as David Cage and I did not accomplish either daily goal. One was to be chased for 120 seconds and I got up to 90 seconds and the other is to open one exit, which I wish I was better at. It took two minutes to match me up and then I was dead within two minutes as Ghostface just found me, I got unhooked and healed and then he found me almost immediately and hooked me again. I really wish I had such luck or skill when I’m the killer. I played as the Nurse so I could teleport and hit a survivor four times and only managed to hit one of them. So I was playing pretty well last week and I picked up the game for the first time in a week and I was complete trash again. But instead of using it as a chill game, I have decided, with this and Rocket League, that I’ll just commit a gaming night to each game instead of trying to do another game and end the night with one of my chill games. That wasn’t doing justice to any of the games, plus it takes so long to match me that I’ve started losing interest or patience with it. Which is crazy as I really do adore Dead by Daylight but I spend so much time waiting and then I get killed so fast, it just stinks all over. I’ll keep playing but not as addictively as I have in the past.
. . .
I’ll be playing Rocket League tonight and I’m hoping to knock out a slew of trophies or at least, make decent progress on them. I think I’m ready to pay online some more, especially in some four on four matches, so that way, there is a higher chance of me not holding the entire team back. I’m looking way forward to it. I have a list of trophies I want to tackle and everything.
. . .
I was playing Beyond : Two Souls before Dead by Daylight and finished up the Old Friends, which turned into the Nora chapter, and then I started Dead by Daylight. I was thinking Old Friends was taking way longer so I did rush through it and that’s when I realized I need to really just mentally commit to one game. I missed two trophy opportunities but not really as we have the option to let a character die or live and if we were killing or saving all characters, this character would be considered the final character to let live or die. Which I’m pretty sure I’m 50/50 on that progress so I was already going to miss out on that trophy. I did choose to let the person die and it wasn’t much of a life they were living.
The next chapter is the Briefing, and it does feel like we’re leading up to the big finale. At this point, I do want to just get to Detroit : Become Human but I’m not trying to rush it but it might be time to put this game down. The Mission chapter was pretty great and worth playing just for that alone, plus the excellent character work, but I’m definitely not going back to the homeless chapter and playing forward like I originally thought of doing. I’ll save that for a second playthrough.
. . .
I completed my fifth playthrough of Late Shift and I even experimented with making a video!
So . . . thanks me for hosting my own video on YouTube!
It looks like I can only post 50 minutes of video so if I want to put my first playthrough of Man of Medan up, I might have to purposely only do it in 45 minute chucks.
So that was a nice experiment to test out ShareFactory.
Anyway, so I wanted to make a video of my all time favorite story beat in Late Shift! I included the part where they call Sebastian’s friend to find his location to set up the hospital scene properly. Then there is the moment with the old man with the magazine that is cute.
But right around the 8:20 minute mark, Mark touches May-Ling’s hand and the moment with the heart monitor is such perfect writing! Joe Sowerbutts and Haruka Abe have such great chemistry and I can’t wait for these final two playthroughs to see what happens with them in the best endings! Hopefully the fifth one was the end of the bad ones.
I thought I was being a tad racist that the girl from Clean Bandit’s Rather Be looked a lot like Haruka Abe but it turns out they are one and the same! I loved that video before but now it got even better!
I wonder if this is why I’ve been thinking about Clean Bandit so much lately. The other night, I had the hardest time remembering the name of the band and had to look up Kiesza’s Hideaway as I recall the two songs being out at the same time. I’ve been in a 90s music mood as well as a 2014 music mood lately.
Apparently she was Po in that horrible Emerald City show but I don’t recall that and the Wikipedia page for the show doesn’t even list Po so she was probably a minor character. Shame she nor Sowerbutts has gotten more work. He was in a movie, I Capture the Castle that I should check out one of these days.
. . .
I’m getting closer to completing the main story for Lego Marvel Superheroes 2. I believe I just have three more chapters and then I would have all of the hubs unlocked and I can start tackling the DLC and replaying levels for all of the minikits and to save Stan Lee. There are challenges scattered across the world that I will also have to complete as well.
I’ve been waiting to get to Knowhere so I can get the trophy for having Lockjaw and Cosmo in the same team.
. . .
VUDU finally got Avengers Endgame and I immediately went to the third act battle sequence which literally starts a bit after the two hour mark with a full hour of the movie left and it was as glorious, if not better, than I remembered! We still need to buy Captain Marvel but I’m going to be spending a bunch of time with this film and its special features which include character spotlights and a commentary track that I’m going to listen the heck out of!
I finally got a chance to play WipEout Omega Collection and Sniper Elite 4!
I’ll start with WipEout, which I did not really enjoy. I was doing the first solo campaign and made it through the finish line for the first three races. I could already tell I was not going to be good at the game. The fourth track had an objective to come in fifth, so I already knew this might it for me. Which it was as I was steadily eighth like I have been. So I lost that race, I didn’t even finish it as we get 30 seconds from first place to cross the finish line.
So then I relooked at the trophy guide as I am super committed to at least getting one trophy per game now. I saw the “Finish 10 online games” and it was already 11:45pm but I figured I would knock out ten in like 20 minutes but it took like a full hour to get the matchmaking systems and to find tracks that I could finish. Someone even set the laps to 20 so I jumped out of that one so quick. I did eventually get into a group of people who kept running four lap races and I finished my ten race and went to bed.
I’m not sure what it is about the game that didn’t click. Maybe it is the speed as we’re definitely racing at top speeds as I kept hitting the walls with nearly every turn or I was not making the most out of the boost pads.
. . .
The next night, I loaded Sniper Elite 4. There is a tutorial that gets us into the game and then it exceeds to the next section but then the game pretty much just lets us play how we want. Which I read is sort of how Hitman works, but SE4 has a limited amount of things to do but more space to do it. So I should probably try to do that first level of Hitman but the trophies made it sound overly complicated but I’ll get it a proper chance again.
It was super fun to run around sniping Nazis. There were secondary objectives, such as break three cameras and kill four Nazi officers, along with the main objective of killing the main Nazi officer.
I really got into the idea of taking the time to carry dead bodies and either throw them into the water or onto a giant stack of other dead bodies. It takes more time but I like the clear message it delivers.
There is only eight missions, so I’ve added the game to my rotation and I’m committed to doing all eight. Or at the very least, the second mission and take it from there.
I’m tempted to try out Sniper Elite 3, as I figured it would be a five dollar game at least point, but it seems to still go for $20 so at that price, I might as well just buy the DLC to 4, but I also will just wait until I’ve completed the main story.
So I really didn’t care for WipEout but really took to Sniper Elite 4 – which really, should be the point of the free games through PlayStation Plus. To expose us to games we may have been tempted to buy, but probably never would.
. . .
Walker Dennis really wanted to play as Lego Batman so I ejected the Lego Marvel Collection and inserted Lego Dimensions. He just had a blast on the Hub world. Once he was done, I took the chance to insert Grand Theft Auto V.
I really wanted that first trophy of online and I made my person and I forgot how much GTA V wants us to really time commit to levels as I did a race, and then the game wanted me and my two new friends to do a drug run. I was a much better driver than the one guy as he had us off the road and into a neighborhood and I had to get us back on track. Then it seemed to finally release us from the crew and we were off to do our own stuff. So I chose to just play the main game, to make sure my file saved. Which it didn’t, I had to redo that level where Michael’s family left him again but it barely took ten minutes.
So now I’m tempted to try to add GTA V to my rotation and get the game finished. And it really doesn’t take long to take a disc out and get a new one placed in.
Now I also have one more trophy in common with most of the players I play with in Dead by Daylight as I’ve seen the Off The Plane trophy on so many player’s trophy lists.
. . .
Girlfriend Reviews did a review of Yakuza 0 which apparently I’m easily convinced by this channel to play games, and I did watch it thinking I might end up playing Yakuza Kiwami. Which it totally did!
For those who don’t know. 0 is the prequel to Yakuza 1 that was remade for the PS4 as Yakuza Kiwami. Kiwami was a free game back in November 2018. The same month we got Burly Men at Sea (which I platinumed) and Roundabout (which I really enjoyed but hit a point of what I could do). Bulletstorm : Full Clip Edition was the other big game but I still haven’t attempted that game.
I finished the Chapter One, which didn’t take too long, and started the first part of Chapter Two. I really enjoy the saving format as it seems I can save whenever. It does an odd thing of saving the game, and then it saves to the system, as two separate steps, which I rather it just did the second step at the same time, behind the scenes. I guess I take it for granted that is how it works when we save games now but who knows. The whole process is done in like ten seconds but I just try not to save too much but I have this habit of saving after every fight.
I feel like I’m just hitting square and then triangle, but I’ll learn other combos as I level Kazumi Kiryu up. I figure since I’m adding games to my backlog, I’ll add this one too, but I predict there will be a point where I just can’t get pass and it’ll go back into the backlog but I’ll wait to see what happens. I’ve earned three trophies in that two hour gaming session so that felt pretty good.
I’m currently at Level 15, sitting at 96% completion before level 16! I’m so close but I really need to start earning silvers and gold trophies, or perhaps just one more platinum.
Girlfriend Reviews keeps making a joke about face reveals but I feel like their icon and banner on their YouTube page pretty much shows Shelby’s face but maybe I’m missing the joke.
I looked over the list of 36 videos and there are a few videos where I could be tempted to play the game. I have a goal to play Detroit Become Human. I’ve earned a trophy on Borderlands 2 so I feel good with that and I got stuck on that one level so that will stay in the backlog. I should rewatch the Arkham Asylum video as I don’t quite recall it though I know I’ve seen it. I would love to treat myself to the Return to Arkham combo set but I’m hoping out for Arkham Origins to be added to the collection. I’ll eventually get around to playing Last of Us, and I’ve been tempted, since I’m making a now ridiculous (still a word I can never spell without assistance) game rotation, to just throw Uncharted 4 onto that list so I can go 4, Lost Legacy, to The Last of Us. I read recently Last of Us 2 is slated for February so I should probably make that decision now. Not like it matters, I won’t be getting the sequel anytime close to the game’s release. Plus, now that I got Detroit for free, I’m tempted to wait until they give Last of Us for free so I can return the physical disc to GameStop for credit.
Which, I really am tempted to just get digital copies now. I told Walker Dennis that he can play Lego Movie 1 whenever he wants as we have it digitally and he’s really taken me up on that offer as he’s been playing it for a few nights now. I can’t get him to want to play Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 but I need to get back to that game myself. I did tell him that once we platinum that game, I’ll get him DC Super-Villains, so he’s excited about that. I did tell him it will be a while.
I’ve been sort of regretting now getting Man of Medan digitally but lesson learned.
The only God of War game I own is the remastered III but I really don’t know how I feel about having essentially two games on my trophy list, both of them not platinumed. Though it would be the same case if I ever got Return to Arkham as I already have Asylum and City in my trophy list. Plus, it is a silly reason not to play a game.
. . .
So my game rotation currently looks like this:
Late Shift (three more playthroughs before the Platinum)
Lego Marvel Superheroes 2
Beyond : Two Souls
Sniper Elite 4
Grand Theft Auto V
Yakuza Kiwami
with Dead by Daylight and Rocket League being my chill games that I rotate between. Though lately, I’ve just been playing a full game session with one game. Especially as Dead by Daylight takes so long to match me with other survivors. As a killer, I have no problems getting matched but it be like that sometimes.
Walker and I got a slew of additional trophies in Rocket League but we might be finally getting through all of easily achieved ones and now we’re in the grind. I do want to complete one season to earn three trophies, I just have to commit to doing it.
I tried to get the play online with a friend, after I set up my wife’s account to connect her to the PlayStation Network, but minus Plus. We were able to get one trophy for playing online with a friend on the Championship field but we can’t get the basic play online with a friend, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong there.
So six games, with one going away in the third round. It is silly and I’m sure two of those will drop off soon too but time will tell.
. . .
Beyond : Two Souls, I got the Master Stealth trophy for completing The Mission without being seen. Such an intense level! It ends very dramatically as well! The next level is Old Friends and I didn’t see any trophies attach, and it might be a short mission too but that is what happens with one mission a round.
Plus, doing it this way, gives me things to write about, so that’s a big win for me!
Seven levels left with maybe an extra level if I have the DLC, I’m not sure if I have it or not.
. . .
For Dead by Daylight, I did get the trophy for Adept Ash and for completing the generator on the steam boat and living to tell about it.
I’m not usually this trophy focus, but I really want to get to rank 16.
So those are the games I’m currently playing. To get GTA V on my PS4, I had to delete Deus Ex : Mankind Divided and Uncanny Valley but that’s okay. I have had those games for a while and I’ll eventually get back to giving them a property play.
Marvel held a pretty epic presentation on Saturday that explains what the next few years are going to look like for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both in theaters and on Disney+.
Since I have the handy link above, I’m going to go in that order, if you want to follow along. Except I’m going to break that right off the bat with the first film as it just makes sense to go in release date order of release. I’m also going with Logo first and then my thoughts as that makes more sense to me.
Thanks to Variety for having a highlight reel of the announcements too!
It took ten years but Scarlett Johansson is finally getting her proper movie! With no Hawkeye in sight too! More on that later! She’ll be joined by Stranger Things and Hellboy, David Harbour, as The Red Guardian. I looked it up.
It only made 40 million worldwide on a 50 million budget, that isn’t ideal so Harbour is free to be other comic book characters. He deserves another shot. I haven’t heard anything about Stranger Things 3, so either people are respecting no spoilers or I’m just out of touch.
I’m a pretty big fan of Yelena’s take of being the Black Widow and I’m looking forward to how Florence Pugh portrays her. I didn’t realize she played Paige in Fighting with My Family. I must not have looked into it as I just assumed Paige would pull a Howard Stern and play herself in the movie about her life. Paige is 26 and would have gotten acting experience through WWE, I wonder what made that decision? Apparently the film is based on a documentary that I should probably watch now that I have so many questions. That won’t be answered in the documentary but still. Pugh will be one of the ladies in Little Women.
O-T Fagbenle, who I know from Harlan Coben’s The Five series (that I think about enough that we should really finish that series!) will be Mason, whoever that is. He’s also one The Handmaid’s Tale and I wonder if my wife recognizes him from the earlier show?
Rachel Weisz will be Melina, another character in the film. I imagine the film is going to be an origin story and it ends with Natasha coming back to life, right? Or a quick 15 minute origin story, she blips back to Earth and then just continues with her spy story, and then the film ends with her telling a hero that she’s alive? Those are the two easy options I came up with.
Johansson is only 34 so she must have been 24 when Iron Man 2 came out and she looks exactly the same, so she can totally pull off an origin story! I probably didn’t even need to look it up but I was curious. She’s been working since 2001’s Ghost World with some smaller roles before hand but gosh, she really blew up. I wonder what her thoughts are on Jennifer Lawrence, who is only 28, and what advice she’ll give her as they both have the same fans, I imagine.
Coming to theaters May 1, 2020.
The movie Marvel is hoping to recapture that Guardians of the Galaxy buzz with! Kevin Feige said it is going to have plenty of Jack Kirby in it, which would be the only thing I want want from it. Especially as I really don’t know the Eternals are. I’m sure Marvel will release like three trades that will be the inspiration for the film’s plot but it is pretty wide open as of now.
Richard Madden, Game of Thorne’s Robb Stark, is going to be Ikarus.
Kumail Nanjiani, who love, is going to be Kingo.
I’m not familiar with Lauren Ridloff who is going to be Makkari. My wife would probably recognize her from New Amsterdam’s Happy Place episode.
Brian Tyree Henry has been in a slew of things I haven’t seen, but he’s the voice of Jefferson Davis in Into The Spider-Verse, he’s going to be Phastos.
In a surprise announcement to me, Salma Hayek is entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as Ajak! I do love me some Salma Hayek.
Wikipedia doesn’t have a page for Lia McHugh who is going to be Sprite. Which I am familiar with that Eternal as I’ve been curious why Kitty Pryde was known as the second Sprite. Just don’t pull her Tab!
I’m not familiar with Don Lee either, who is going to be Gilgamesh.
I knew Angelina Jolie was going to be in the movie, she’s Thena. Should be a pretty interesting film. I’m also not familiar with director Chloe Zhao’s work either.
Coming to theaters November 6, 2020.
I had forgotten that Daniel Bruhl is returning as Baron Zemo for the series! Now I’m even more excited! Once this is officially on Disney+, we will be subscribing to it.
Coming to streaming devices Fall 2020.
I must be way out of touch as I didn’t recognize anyone from the cast of this but I’m super excited!
Simu Liu is going to be outstanding as Shang Chi!
I’m glad that we’re finally getting the real Mandarin and Tony Leung is going to be awesome at it! I’m glad Marvel Studios found a way to properly introduce him into the MCU.
He’s Little Tony to Tony Leung Ka-fai’s Big Tony.
Coming on February 12, 2021.
We still haven’t seen Captain Marvel – I’m hoping we buy it off of VUDU next weekend. We’ve been waiting to buy it for when we can actually watch it. Teynoah Parris is going to be playing adult Monica Rambeau, which is terrific to have that plot thread picked up. Parris was Dawn Chambers on Mad Men. She’s also Detective Pamela Rose on Empire.
I’m super excited about this show as I just want more Wanda and Vision! Hopefully Vision has all of his emotions or gets them back by the end of the show’s run.
Coming Spring 2021 to Disney+.
I wasn’t hot on Loki until Endgame, then I had one of those ah-ha moments and I’ll love to see what Post-Avengers Loki is up too without all of that fun character development he got from the films that came after that. He should be pretty fun.
Coming to Disney+ Spring 2021.
Like a dman fool, I was saying how it might not be necessary to get a proper sequel to Doctor Strange but I’ve been proven way wrong. I’m glad Marvel is running with the idea of the Multiverse that was teased in Spider-Man : Far From Home.
We’ll have to see if they reveal the MCU to actually be considered Earth-199999, officially named in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z 5.
I love how Marvel isn’t making the mistake they did with the Netflix series (more on that later), and actually making sure the events of the Disney+ series matter by making sure the plot threads are picked up in the movies. I was never worried that once the characters went to “TV,” that they would never come back to films but as proof, Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) will be in Doctor Strange’s film and it will take place after the events of WandaVision.
Coming to theaters May 7, 2021.
The first series actually set in the MCU, and not just inspired by it, and it is just a fun take on the MCU! So far, we only know there will be an episode based on the idea of Agent Peggy Carter becoming Captain America. I’m sure there will be several other episodes that would be equally fun. Hopefully the original actor will do the voicework for their character like we know Hayley Atwell will.
Jeffrey Wright, Felix Leiter from the latest James Bond films, will be providing the voice of The Watcher! He was also Colin Powell in Oliver Stone’s W and Beetee in the Hunger Games films.
Coming to Disney+ Summer 2021.
This show will get me excited once they cast Kate Bishop. I’m getting myself pretty jazzed for a Young Avengers film that might be in the works. I’m also hoping with Jeremy Renner coming back to TV, that we can get a re-release of ABC’s The Unusuals as that was a fun show. It only had ten episodes but I’m reminded of that show a bunch. Mostly when I’m reminded of Renner and when I wonder whatever happened to Amber Tamblyn, She’s going to be Mariette Callows in the upcoming Y : The Last Man series coming to FX as simply “Y” which like “er” will be very difficult to Google.
Monique Gabriela Curnen being in the Dark Knight didn’t bring the show back on any streaming device but with Disney only ABC, I wonder if the show will appear on Disney+? She was Detective Anna Ramirez.
The Unusuals also had LOST’s Harold Perrineau (Walt!) and the original Adam Goldberg! Such a great show. Now I wish I can watch it all over again!
So yeah, maybe there might be something about this show that will get me to think about the show itself. Hopefully Matt Fraction gets some dollars from this, that’ll be nice.
Coming to Disney+ Fall 2021.
I loved Comic Book Queers Legacy’s idea of simply calling this film, Thour, that would have been super fun!
Natalie Portman is coming back to the MCU and she’s going to be Thor! How amazing is that!?! I can’t wait to see what she looks like as Thor!
I was going to make another difficult to Google joke but “Natalie Portman Goddess of Thunder” should at last bring some images
Yep, that worked! That makes two awesome humans who are worthy to pick up Mjolnir.
I wonder if Kat Dennings and Stellan Skarsgard will be in this? Maybe at least as cameos?
Also, will the Guardians show up for a fun cameo as they drop Thor off on his latest adventure? They have to address it at least for a line of dialogue.
Coming to theaters November 5, 2021!
We end with Blade! Mahershala Ali will be the daywalker, Blade! Ali is 46 to Wesley Snipps 56. Gosh, Snipps has six kids! He hasn’t been working much but has two films in post-production right now, Dolemite Is My Name and Cut Throat City.
So Mahershala Ali has played one other Marvel character, Luke Cage’s first season villain, Cottonmouth. So that’s a shame that Marvel is not only double dipping into other roles already but also, it sort of implies the Marvel Netflix series don’t really matter. I guess there is an argument to be made that nowadays, it doesn’t really matter, but also, it isn’t like Ali was a hero character being recast as another hero. But he was pretty pivotal to Luke Cage’s first season.
But Ali is a great actor so it makes total sense that Marvel will want to keep working with him. I’m just having a silly knee jerk reaction.
No date for when the film comes out but oh boy, what an amazing late of TV and Films!
. . .
PSPrices notified me that Late Shift was under seven dollars. Apparently the game has gotten below five but I had recently gotten paid and I figured I’ll treat myself to a new game.
I was going to do eight playthroughs, one blind, and then follow the guide and do the official seven endings but then I figured, why not just do the seven endings as the game is an hour and half each time and I’m pretty limited in my time I get to play. I don’t really regret it, I’m three playthroughs in and having a great time. I’m breaking it up with other games as I broke down and made a list of five games to play so I’ll have a nice rotation. The third one was my favorite until midway through it. So I’m hoping the order of playthroughs is worst to best.
. . .
After watching how much fun the PlayStation Access crew had playing XCOM 2, I figured I’ll get it a shot and recreate my family, plus Spider-Man, Santa Claus, Dr. Peter Venkman, and Kitty Pryde.
So I played with the tutorial and then did the first mission. We lost the forced character, which was lousy that I couldn’t immediately play with four created characters but then I was thankful that I only lost the one soldier, and it wasn’t one of my characters. There is perma-death, even on the easier mode, so I was being super careful. Maybe too careful as I had forgotten we were on a deadline with only so many number of rounds but right at the last round, my wife was able to disarm the bomb. She eventually got seriously wounded and can’t fight for the next 23 days. So now I’m worried about sending any of my people out. Like a f’n coward.
I earned the tutorial trophy last year when I first played it during June 2018 when it was a free game through PS Plus. Looking over the list, I probably should be playing on Normal and I’ll see if I can change the setting or I can at least start a new game as I bet it would only take an hour to get back to where I currently am.
I saw that there is only one online trophy and all I had to do was start and finish a match so I did that. I went with a super basic team and two people didn’t want to just give me the trophy so they dropped out. Then the third person went ahead and fought me. It went a tad longer than I thought it would but it was pretty fun to get a little more experience with the game.
I wanted to get a more official team line-up photo but I couldn’t select any of my three created characters so that killed my buzz for creating more people as well as continuing that playthrough. It might be another year before I play again.
. . .
With this rotation idea, I finally started Batman : The Enemy Within, and it is so good! I took Catwoman to the Batcave and tried to romance the heck out of her! It really is all I wanted to do and I’m so glad I got back into the game. Alfred seemed supportive. I’m probably going to upset Gordon as I did warn her the police were coming. I’m not sure if he’ll get the chance to yell at me as I also took the heat for Catwoman stealing Harley’s laptop and Mr. Freeze put me in a tank and froze me. I have two more chapters but I honestly don’t know how I’m going to get out of this.
. . .
So I have two chapters before the platinum for Batman and five playthroughs before the platinum for Late Shift and now I’m in my head about a very silly thing. My last three platinums are for Lego Movie 1, Lego Marvel Superheroes 1, and Lego Avengers, so it would look pretty cool if I got Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 instead of how it will be spaced out with two games in-between it but I’ve also made my peace with it. LMSH2 is such a massive game and I’ve taken long enough breaks from it now that that’s simply the prize I have to pay. Plus, it is a silly thing and I’m not even sure who else would even notice that. Or they will see my list and see how I snuck in two quick games. Though I’ve been having Batman : The Enemy Within on the backburner for way too long! Foolishly long!
So I’ve completed my two Inhumans chapters, there was a silly Minikit I should have been able to grab in the first of the two missions, but Crystal was too close to the platform and it started rising up before I realized there was a free floating minikit. But that’s what Free Play is for. I’m nowhere near the platinum for this game, I realize.
While exploring the underwater city, we noticed there was a race for the Homecoming suit, so I got that for Walker Dennis. It took longer than I was thinking it would. The races for no reason are much harder in this game with how the controls are. I’m not great at flying races and I had forgotten how bad I was at swimming races from Lego Dimensions. But they made it super easy to restart races so I kept pressing Circle and eventually got it.
I keep falling into the trap of trying races when Walker is also playing and the split screen is not productive for racing.
. . .
Referring to romancing, I’ve finally committed to playing Beyond : Two Souls again as well. I completed The Dinner chapter. Jodie put on a fancy dress, made a nice Asian Beef dish, and then she and Ryan totally made out.
There were two chances for Aiden to ruin the night, that lasted way to long, to the point where I felt tempted to do something destructive to get out of playing as him, but it eventually timed out.
Next is the Night Sessions chapter. It started with a young Jodie so I can’t imagine it will be too long.
Looking at the chapters list, I think I’m finally at the half way point.
. . .
KITT has finally come to Rocket League so for two dollars, he can be yours too! Now I’m just waiting for the Rocket League : Game of the Year Edition to go on sale so I can snatch up the game proper.
Thanks for Rocket League for hosting their own video!
I can’t tell if the license plate is red or is that just the light from the back making it look that way? Also, there is a clear red stripe going around KITT that shouldn’t be there but I guess a sleek all black car wouldn’t look as exciting against other cars.
Apparently, KITT doesn’t have a Super Pursuit Mode, any voice work from William Daniels, nor any of the iconic sounds. It would be cool if we at least got the sounds. Even cooler would be if we got KARR! But it took them four years to get KITT so we probably have to wait a long time before we get that. The game came out in July 2019, so we’re in their anniversary month right now. Now it all makes sense.
Actually, PSPrices has been blowing up my phone with discounts! The Game of the Year edition is currently 50% off so I scooped it up so quick as $13 is quite a deal, down from $25! So hopefully we’ll start playing that tonight or tomorrow.
There is an entire summer sale going on right now through the PlayStation Store.
With the deals, I should get at least one of those Batmobiles and then wait on those five Hot Wheels cars, at least three of them are bundled together.
The Witcher 3 Complete Edition and Fallout 76 Tricentennial edition are heavily discounted too. Though both games are pretty well discounted most of the time anyway, so don’t pay full price for those two. One day, I’ll have both of those as well.
In all of my excitement, I went ahead and bought the three Batmobiles for six dollars.
So the only other cars to tempt us are:
Triple Threat for $6
Gazella GT, MR11, and FAST 4WD (three cars I don’t recognize by name)
Bone Shaker $2
Twin Mill III $2
For the grand total of ten dollars!
But now I only have $14.15 in my PSN wallet so I’m going to have to put ten dollars on there just to get back over my $20 goal. I should treat myself to a $25 card and have plenty of future fun to be had.
We were able to start playing last night and we got super addicted to playing and I stayed up late and started chipping away at the trophies! Such a fun game! We’ve heard 32% of the trophies and I got at least one trophy per DLC except for Champions Field. I thought I was going to get the trade five rare items for an ultra rare but I only have one item and it isn’t trade-able so I’m going to have to play a bunch more. But I’m going to have to as one, it is a super fun game, and two, it is going to take a long time for me to drive 50 km.
. . .
The reason I don’t have as much money in my PSN card is because Dead by Daylight had some more items for sale, namely both Ash Williams and Leatherface for half off which made them both combined for six dollars. If I had deep pockets, I would have just threw all of my money towards the DLC but like my gaming goals of buying my wishlist once they are only a certain price, I’ll start with the cheapest options and work my way up. I should just say heck with it and treat myself to Ghostface as he’s who I really want. Maybe once I’ve gotten my moneys worth with Rocket League, I’ll jump back to Dead by Daylight.
I can’t imagine I can properly pay two multiplayer games but maybe I’ll do it like I do my main games and make one my chill game one day and the other the chill game on another night. That’s probably exactly how I’ll end up doing it. I’ve spent so much money on these games, I better commit to playing them!
I bought Michael Myers and have barely used him, and I’ve only used Leatherface the first night I bought him. I’m a bit of a stickler for using the dailies to direct how I play. So I’ve had several survivor tasks so I’ve been bouncing between Ash and Laurie from Halloween.
. . .
I thought I wrote about Friday the 13th : The Game before but it doesn’t appear like I have. Dead by Daylight has some lengthy wait times, both during the matching phase and then for the final lobby portion. So I’ve taken to looking at my fellow survivors’ trophy lists. We can’t see the killer, for the surprise element I’m sure, but when we play as the killer, we get to see all of the survivors. I never think to check out the killer’s trophies after the game though. Unless I’ve earned a trophy, then I follow all of those peeps who made it possible.
So I kept seeing all of these players who had Friday the 13th : The Game as a game they all have played. Which makes sense as they are both horror mutliplayer games, where a group of people (counselors vs survivors) are against a killer (Jason v Multiple Options). I like how the counselors can actually fight against Jason, though it is super complicated to actually kill him, but at least we can take the offense instead of just hiding and working generators. That being typed, I still prefer Dead by Daylight.
My other problem is that we can’t choose to play as Jason, it is a random draw. We get to chose our counselor and which Jason we want to play, but it is a 95/5 chance of playing as Jason. Once we see Jason in the opening scene, at least one can tell if they are going to be Jason if he matches. I barely even saw the first Jason option and when I did, it wasn’t me.
I must have played 30 matches as a counselor and I finally unlocked Deb. She might be my favorite at the moment. I unlocked her at level six.
I should say I have never seen a Jason film so I just learned she is from Jason Goes to Hell, The Final Friday. The ninth film in the franchise. She’s Jason’s 92nd victim.
I was playing so much I was tempted to get the costume DLCs, as they are only two dollars each and there is only two of them. One is the bathing suit and one is a fun costume option.
Then I got to finally play as Jason and now I’m done with the game for a bit. We were so close!
Deb’s costume is a bunny costume! That’s when she won my heart!
But not my two dollars. Who knows, maybe I’ll stop being a fuddy duddy and just spend the four dollars but I also have plenty of time as well.
. . .
So my break from Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 and my addiction to Dead by Daylight also led me to playing Warframe and Apex Legends, as I kept seeing both of those games on people’s trophy lists. Which makes sense as people who like multiplayer games probably like free multiplayer games.
I didn’t take to Apex Legends, I’m no good at shooting people, but it was fun running around. I got the jump master trophy and felt like I had done by part.
Warframe, I had a much better time with, and I could see myself playing a few more nights with it. Sort of like how I’m given these PS Plus games, I feel like I can pick them up and drop them at any time. Like, I didn’t earn the games, so I didn’t have to fight for them, or they are not as real to me, if that makes any sense. But I’m learning that they are a lot of fun. I have committed to the idea of playing a game until I get the first trophy and then seeing where I land after that.
I also hadn’t gotten to the online portion of Warframe, but I did the tutorial and the first real mission and earned the Rank 2 trophy, No Longer a Rookie.
I have been seeing a lot of GTA V trophies but I rather not take the Lego Marvel Collection disc out and replace it with GTAV and then sit for three minutes as the game loads. Maybe that can be my next physical game I play. I should at least try to beat the main story as well as complete the online tutorial, as that’s the trophy I see most people have earned, and I can at least do that much.
Girlfriend Reviews also just did a video for the game so it is just on everyone’s mind, I supposed.
We finally earn my 20th platinum with Lego Avengers! So that gave me the perfect break to try the June games. Of course, Walker Dennis immediately notice there wasn’t anything to do in Lego Avengers so we started Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 and he walked around snowy Manhattan and Wakanda. We got a few gold bricks and some studs but I’m putting that game on hold for a bit.
. . .
Sonic Mania took me right back, I especially love how SEGA title card and saying “SEGA.” I immediately had a smile on my face. I earned the trophy for setting a bridge on fire. I got to Flying Battery, the fourth zone of the game, and I couldn’t figure out what to do next. I just kept going around the same circle and I couldn’t buzz through any walls either. I’ll have to start the level again and see if I just went in the wrong direction or I’m clearly missing the right path. I’ll watch a YouTube video and see what I’m missing.
Thanks to YouTuber Tony StrongStyle for hosting his walkthrough of both zones and the boss battle.
I got stuck at the 50 second mark and the far right one takes us lower, I just didn’t commit to it.
. . .
Once hitting that road block and having another game to try, I stopped Sonic Mania and attempted Borderlands 2. I knew there were two characters that had high level requirements, Zer0, who earns a trophy once he’s level 31 and Salvador, who has to be level 25 to earn a trophy. I left Walker D play as Zer0, as I wasn’t sure how violent the game got.
Walker thought he looked the most like Spider-Man, and that was enough for him. We haven’t found that sword yet. So that made me choose Salvador, and that was fine with me. We ended up with two play sessions, I doubt combined it lasted an hour even. We earned the trophy after completing the first mission, which was nice. Walker essentially just wandered around as I shot snow beasts and then he’ll catch up as we reached a new area. It was pretty fun actually. We got to the first city and met our first human quest giver, Sir Hammerlock. While there, we could modify our suits and Walker found a way to turn Zer0 to have red tones so now he looks even more like Spider-Man. I opted to not change my outfit.
On my own, I got Salvador to level five, earning me a second trophy. I’m currently on the Best Minion Ever quest. I can kill Bewn no problem but his brother, Boom seems impossible while he’s in his tank (Big Bertha) blasting at me while two dudes are constantly being respawned. I also kill running out of ammo and dying, so that doesn’t encourage me. I seem to knock his health down to half but then his health refills and I die again to repeat the process. I might not be waiting until it reloads. I should try again before calling it quits.
The opening song though, is simply amazing!
Thanks to YouTuber EzE for hosting the opening!
The song is “Short Change Hero” by The Heavy, an English band.
It is so great and got me hyped to play the game.
I’m not sure if Walker’s progress with Zer0 is tied to his non-PSN-account or when it is time for me to play as Zer0, do I just carry on at his level 3 status? I’m going to have to take the time to test that.
Pretty fun game, I just hit a road block and couldn’t figure out how get pass Big Bertha.
. . .
We are currently in the middle of PlayStation’s Days of Play right now! So many great games are on sale.
I had to take a chance on NBA 2K19 as it is typically a $60 game and it is only three dollars so I had to buy it. I did wish that I downloaded NBA 2K19 Prelude first, as it is free and would have scratched that itch. But my progress in Prelude carries over to NBA 2K19 proper and I’m a huge fan of that, so I have to get my three dollars worth out of NBA 2K19. Prelude (that I keep wanting to type as, Preclude) has its own trophy list which I was jazzed about. I’m not very good at it, mostly doing D+ work but I get into the Cs and I’m definitely capable of getting into the Fs. I’m hoping more practice helps with that. My character is a Power Forward as I grew up a huge Phoenix Suns fan (I’m from Arizona) and a Charles Barkley fan, so that’s who I wanted to model myself after. Turns out, I have no idea what a Power Forward really does. I’m constantly losing points for being out of position but I stay in the paint under the basket so I have no idea. Hopefully the proper game tells me more about how to be a proper Power Forward.
I’ve started the game and I just got to the game after the Indiana State Fair. This game has already gone in ways I would never have expected and I’m having a real blast playing the game. I’m no good at it and I really need to learn how to make baskets on the courts and off the courts as I didn’t do well in the game on the side of the barn nor the fair game. I really want my character to start being a team player and to date that Nikki character so I’m hoping I get to make more decisions in the game as I’ve been able to make one or two dialogue options and I’m hoping for more of that.
My goal is to get him on the Phoenix Suns or stay with the Indiana Mad Ants until I can do so. I’m not really sure how seasons work or once I pick a team, if I can change teams. I imagine I can’t so I’m just going to hold out and get Phoenix Suns worthy. Two teams are interested in me but I see the Suns are starting to get interested. I also need a Phoenix Suns hat for me IRL. And to learn when the NBA 2019-2020 starts. Apparently the Suns have had a rough nine years of not getting to the playoffs but maybe they can do it this year. They have also never won the National Championship either in their 51 year history.
. . .
What I’m mostly excited though, is the free Fallout 76 demo that is available right now!
Thanks to GameSpot for hosting the footage! This is the full Bethesda conference but you can stop watching it after the 20 minute mark. So mark to lead and address Fallout 76’s rough start and get it out of the way. Great idea of make all of the DLC free (thus far).
This week, there is a free trial, on the PlayStation Store it is under the Demos, that we all get to play! So that’s what I’ll be doing tonight! I’m hoping the progress I make carries over to the eventual day I buy the game. Pending on how I take to the demo, I might have to move this up my wishlist and no longer hold out for dog companions to be added.
Human NPCs are being added as is a Battle Royal, which seems interesting.
I got confirmation progress made in the demo will carry over and I’ll find out if trophies pop in the demo tonight. Which I checked and they do not, which is unfortunate but I also understand that they want us to buy the game too.
. . .
Another another thing we’re excited about it Ecto-1 and KITT coming to Rocket League!
Thanks to Rocket League for hosting their own video!
Ecto-1 is out already and for two dollars, I’ve already bought it. KITT will also be two dollars and out on July 22. I already bought the DeLorean from Back to the Future.
The trailer is filled with hype that can barely contain itself!
I want the Game of the Year Edition so that’s usually $25, I was hoping it would have gone on sale during the Days of Play but it also makes sense it wouldn’t have with the current promotion. I’m hoping it will go on sale even just for a tad by the end of July but either way, I’ll be buying it soon. I currently have $14.82 so I have enough for KITT and I’m really hoping to get a $25 PSN card for Father’s Day then I can for sure get it but it might be Mid-August before I do as I’ll just buy a ten dollar gift card every payday until I have the $25 but then I’ll be sweating my PSN Wallet until I get it back over $25 again. but that’s on me and my anxiety. I have this plan in place so I can just keep buying two $10 PSN cards and be back on top within a month. I just have to work for what I want is all it really comes down too.
I can’t find any pictures online so I had to take one myself.
Shadow and Flame with Magik
