Hiya folks,

So this week has been a bit crazy with work, so I apologize for what is both a late and short blog entry. With that in mind, I will keep this short, sweet and to the point.

FUCK THIS GUY!

Seriously...I took nearly 2 weeks playing nothing but this boss, before finally besting him. It was honestly quite frustrating and not something I enjoyed in the least bit. Between the RNG elements (cloud platforms spawning at random locations) and controls/weapons that did not seem to quite line up with his hitbox, it was an absolute nightmare.

I can't help but feel like I have similar feelings as Brad and Jeff on this game. It looks reallygreat, but the art style can only take it so far. There's something about the controls that rub me the wrong way. It's almost like they're too precise. If I had a dollar for every time I used my super in the wrong direction because I nudged the thumbstick a quarter of a millimeter the other way...well I'd have at least 18 dollars...and that's 18 too many for me.

In other news, I'm seeing through Sleeping Dogs faster than I thought. It certainly lacks the polish modern and bigger-budget open world games haves, but the game continues to throw bits of charm and surprises my way that make it so much fun. I have 4 more missions left in the game, so I expect to beat it tonight or tomorrow. Keep your eyes peeled for a more in depth review as well as another 'what game next?' poll in the forums soon!

Finally, Divinity OS 2 continues to amaze me. Yes, I will most certainly be playing this game for a chunk of my lifetime as it seems neverending...but y'know what? I'm okay with that.

OH - call me crazy, but I also tried DOTA 2 this week. I was one of those rare folks that actually enjoyed and actively played Paragon, so this week's news has really disheartened me. I've been dabbling in Overwatch, but outside of class-based hero selection, that's obviously a different type of game. So I'm on a mission to find a replacement moba, and man...I really don't think DOTA 2 will be the one. Maybe someone can convince me otherwise...but woof, the shop mechanics, tutorials, and just about everything about that game do everything they can to keep newcomers away.

Cheers!
