Unfortunate... I liked their games but I have heard the last two bombed.

I’ve played Avowed for 15 hours, and this is the most fun I’ve had in an RPG since Skyrim released. It might not be as good as Skyrim, but it has a very similar feel for me, and I’ve encountered zero bugs so far. I’m having an absolute blast!

If you like RPGs, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s included in Game Pass, so there’s no reason not to check it out!

Me and My friend finally got a chance to sit down and play Some Assassin's Creed Unity together. For some reason my internet has been slow today, like, painfully slow. So it was a bit laggy since i think it's peer to peer, but i'm not sure on that. The slow internet probably wasn't helping it though. We ran through a few of the Multiplayer missions together. The one above is from a mission where you have to stop Snipers from taking out Napoleon and a bomb from blowing up, and then tracking down letters to figure out who did it.

This one was taken on our way to the place where we found the intel on who was behind the plot. We ended up struggling quite a bit on this area because there were so many snipers we couldn't get too. After a bit though we managed to get it.

Another one we did was about the execution of Danton. We had to protect his friends from assassin's trying to kill them. When we first got there we had to sneak into a restricted area to talk to him. I ended up crowd blending and using a disguise to walk up to him and then sneak out again. The Mission took us to the crowded plaza you see above and me and my friend had a pretty lengthy brawl there.

Overall the Multiplayer is pretty fine. It's a lot more cut and dry then the Story though. The multiplayer boils down to the Basics for the most part. They're still a lot of fun, though they can be tedious to run by yourself.

(Bloomberg) -- Niantic Inc., the company behind the 2016 hit Pokémon Go, is in talks to sell its video-game business to Saudi Arabia-owned Scopely Inc., according to several people familiar with the discussions.

Representatives of Niantic and Scopely declined to comment. Scopely is owned by Savvy Games Group, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

Me and my Friend started on Halo Reach today. I know the Screenshot isn't of that, i forgot to get screenshots of that after i got distracted trying to keep track of which Data Pads i needed to get.

After Reach though, I introduced my younger siblings to Halo (as i felt i should pass it on since growing up i didn't have someone to pass it on to me, so i'd like to give them that experience). My previous attempt with Halo 1 with just the two of them doing split screen didn't go to well, because one of them was kind of being a dick to the other and killing him repeatedly. That was ages ago though, so i was hoping things had changed. Just in case though we did Halo 3 3-player Co-Op so i could be there to supervise.

I didn't realize that Player 3 (and presumably 4) got to be Elites. I really like that detail instead of just making them generic Master Chiefs like the older games. We ended up making it all the way to Floodgate before calling it quits. They played on easy mode, but that's okay because they were having fun and i needed the Easy Mode playlist out of the way anyways.

After they scuttled off to do whatever it is they do, i decided to use my time Achievement Hunting. I went through Halo 3 and tracked down Every Achievement i could find easily enough.

The first achievements on the block for me were the Primate ones. The were a bit difficult to find, i think partly because of my Monitors settings, but i had a lot of fun looking for it.

The next one i did was the developer one. I ended up using the Skull that lets you fly for it (and it was the only one i thought to use it for, for some reason).

And then, thankfully, the next few were multiplayer map ones. This one was from the Hippo one. I hopped into forge and scoured the floor for it. I ended up looking a while for it though because i thought it would be more obvious. While i was on this Multiplayer map trend i also got the Man on The Moon one and the Sounds Familiar one.

After this, i went and did the Cool Story Bro achievement. I struggled a bit on this one because i just can't get used to the Warthog Physics in Halo. They're just odd to work with for me. Luckily after about 20 minutes of attempts i made it.

And the finally, i did the Mind the Gap achievement. this is the one i wish i had used the Flying Skull for, because it took forever. Walking on foot to get all the warthogs. It was worth it personally for me though because i get to brag that i did it all without skulls (albeit due to my own negligence).

I didn't get a screenshot of this, but i also managed to do the entire first level of Combat Evolved on LASO. It wasn't as hard as i was expecting, but it was still a challenge. I started on the level Halo but had to stop because i was kind of trapped with just a Assault Rifle. I'm thinking of either going back at it with Co-Op, or starting the level over.

Me and my usual gaming buddy have finished Halo 4. We plan to move onto Halo Reach, but we also have wanted to play a little bit of Assassin's Creed Unity. So i decided to give it a bit of a dry test before playing multiplayer with my friend since Linux can be a bit unpredictable sometimes. The odd crop job is to remove personal info.

This game is probably one of my favorites of all time. It has that kind of nostalgia that can just bring you back to the moment when you first played it. It also has my favorite implementation of Parkour and Stealth. It took everything the Kenway Saga setup, and made it perfect. Not to mention the story and characters were some of my favorites.

As you can see, the game still has a few bugs, but they've almost entirely ironed them out from the horrific launch. There's nothing game breaking, and honestly this clipping issue with an NPC is the only one i encountered in my entire time playing.

I had spent a lot of the time i was playing practicing my Parkour and Stealth, and had a few clips i wanted to share in place of screenshots today that i really liked. But Bazzite has this weird issue with Steam's clip function where some games are just still frames. Halo MCC has this issue too. Oddly enough AC Rogue doesn't have this issue, so i'm not sure what it is. So instead here's a frame i ripped mid Parkour to share:

I continued playing through Pokemon Ultra Moon today. I made it all the way to the second island. I spent a lot of time systematically going through each route on the first island and clearing the dex of all the base forms i could find to help go towards my goal of a complete national dex in Pokemon Home, but overall today was very slow, so i didn't do many screenshots.

I also managed to snag a Everstone for my Litten after spending an hour searching for a Roggenrola in a cave. According to the wiki they have a 50% chance to hold one. I didn't have any open slots in my party to check though, so i just kept grabbing multiple after multiple. After all that work though i can safely say i kept my Litten from evolving.

I also revamped my party a bit. This probably won't be my final layout, but i have Kiva (my Litten), Bill, a Hawlucha a traded a Spearow for (which feels like a little unfair towards the person i traded too), A Butterfree i evolved after catching it on Route 1 (Which i need to come up with a nickname for), Uncle Tony, and Ash's Greninja from the Demo (which i'll probably also swap out for someone else, they're just kind of keeping the seat warm)

For context : have no idea how they found about it, but I love that they are illuminating indie games. And VICE.com has 12 million monthly readers. This is insane for me , because for a long time I was struggling for the game to be noticed. (If you want to follow how development of the game is going, a simple wishlist on Steam will be well appreciated.
