With my clan now more or less dead, I had to do it with randoms off the Bungie app. Cue an hour of frustration as we died over and over.

Urgh. I need to find a new clan I suppose.

I don't think I had 500 kills with a hand cannon in my entire time with the series and I played multiplayer a fair bit over the years. That's bloody insane for a single quest even if it is exotic.
The Black Spindle quest was hard (I never completed it despite multiple attempts with various people) but at least that could be done in a couple of hours, 500 multiplayer kills would take me months as I don't like hand cannons and was never very good at PVP.

Good job completing that there's zero chance I could have.

Like I say it probably took me 6 or 7 hours in total (even then only because The Last Word, another pain in the arse to get, is so good) then another 2 or 3 to finally get the Nightfall version of Song of Savathûn done. There were also 3 steps before the 'get 500 kills' challenge so, strawberry float, in total you're looking at 15-20 hours to get one gun.

It's by far the most difficult Exotic they've done I reckon. Even the Whisper catalyst was easier.

Now I've written that down I feel terrible for actually having done it.

Saints Row is strawberry floating good. It's such a shame the main missions are basically the activities a lot of the time.

Sure the activities/missions crossover happened first in SR3.

Just become adult Link in OoT, Master Quest is a decent enough change from the standard game, I was expecting the temples to be completely reworked rather than just different enemy placement and slightly different puzzle solutions. Still nice enough though. However I was not expecting cows to be stuck inside the walls of Jabu Jabu........

Just about to get the hookshot anyway, should be at the Forest Temple shortly (after a brief stop at Lon Lon Ranch to get my ever faithful steed).

No you're not imaging things. I decided to delete the post as I'm winding my GRcade account down. No particularly reason for this, I just decided to ditch online forums for a while. I waste far too much time on them. Permanently ditched all other forms of social media about a year ago. I just tripped by to say thanks to OrangeRKN for a game he recommended.

Anyway, get and play Conan Exiles. It's great.

You can always message me via PSN if you want a game of something or to just shoot the breeze. PSN - DaddyBrown73 (God, I cannot wait to be able to change my username. :fp:

Right, must sign out now. Laters, Jawa.

. Dang, that's a shame, Gemini. Ah well, I know that feeling of needing to take a break now and again. Hope to see you back here whenever you're ready.

You seem to be having a hard time Gem, hope things get better.

I played a few things over the weekend.

Sea of Thieves is fast becoming my go to game to while away the hours, there's soooo much to do, Anniversary dlc can't come soon enough.

Played some Battlefield V in preperation for Firestorm (which is out today), spawned in on back of a plane and which was stunning to behold:

Even got back into Alien Isolation as I'm RIGHT at the end, I find putting sound off helps me, should finish it by the end of the week. Fired up PUBG for old times sake and got a fair few kills, can't tell if it was noobs or I was good.

Lastly played DayZ, all servers are getting wiped on wednesday but while I was making my way to Tizzy, 4 dudes ran past and I could have executed them with my ump easily as they didn't notice me for some reason. Anyway I shouted out to them instead and they turned around, 2 of them were really nice, gave me suppressors and stuff, all american too (odd on EU server) but while getting directions from one of them other guy shot me in head. Got msg to say sorry that the guy's a dick for doing it but im not too fussed.

That's the most realistic plane crash I've ever seen

Baba Is You.
Just solved Ghost Guard and grinning like a fool.
I love when a puzzle game makes me feel like a genius.

I finished Spider-Man at the weekend now I'm just blitzing through the story again on the easiest level in NG+ to pick up the tokens I need to unlock all the suits and thus the platinum trophy. I think once I'm done I need a shorter, linear palate cleanser before tackling the DLC.

I was actually thinking of that part when I was shooting! :lol:

Been playing a lot of FTL recently. It's super easy to pick up whenever, so I was playing it in half hour stretches a few times like everyday
it's pretty fire, though even after like 60 hours I haven't managed to beat the final boss

Started playing XCOM2 again with added mods, currently have just a few character customisation mods installed so now have MGS4's Raiden, MGS3's Boss, Zero Suit Samus and Nina from Tekken in my squad.

Unfortunately its been so long since I last played that I'm utterly crap at it and keep getting everyone killed on the early missions.

strawberry float me, some of this gooseberry fool is annoying. The cabaret is tedious (I'm sure it would've been fine spread out through the story, so that's on me) The catfights are unbearable. Some of the climax battles are just bullshit.

And fffffffffffffstrawberry float Fantasy Zone

Update: I'm so close I can taste it. I have 6 items left on my completion list, and they're all for sodding mahjong- which on closer inspection is a bit like Gin Rummy, but strawberry floating gooseberry fool.

PostRe: Currently playing in 2019... by **jawafour** » Tue Mar 26, 2019 8:53 am

I've been playing FFXIV (was having great time / cried a bit / now enjoying again) and Animal Crossing 3DS (totally lost the ability to catch sharks but I've added a light to the town!).

Also re-realised that it's absolutely pointless buying new games when I already have other stuff that I want to play. That list includes No Man's Sky, Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76, Conan Exiles, World of Final Fantasy, Lets Go Pikachu, Zelda BotW, Fallout 4 and Skyrim. Yep, all massive titles that will, realistically, take me a few years to work through :lol:

X-Com 2 is WAY too hard, I finished first one that was hard towards the end but this one kills you at start. Having an Alien that can both bring back the dead AND mind control your agents is taking the pish!
