Morning
Ugh, internet issues first thing in the morning. No good entertainment to go with my coffee so instead I spent my time in No Man’s Sky trying to farm that last recipe. Didn’t go so well. Even though I used to be overloaded with navigation data, it’s a rare commodity now. When I do get it, I scan secure frequencies and I find operation centres, but they’re really manufacturing facilities?
I cannot find the recipe for the quantum processor to save my life in this game! It’s driving me mad. I think I just need to run around a few more new systems gathering navigation data and then keep pounding out operation centres. Hopefully I will eventually locate one and get what I need. For now though I’m taking a break.
Sleeping Dogs – Spoiler Warning
Maybe it’s time for me to play more Sleeping Dogs! I continued the storyline, turns out I was almost at the end. It was election for the new crime boss and I was going to meet up with Jackie, but I found him dead! Not only that, but it was a trap, I was captured and tortured. Luckily I escaped after a lot of fighting.
I made my way to the elections to take out Big Smile Lee in revenge for Jackie. After fighting through what felt like the entire triad I finally chased him down and beat him senseless, then threw him into an ice chipper, really messy.
Turns out, Pendrew was crooked, Big Smile Lee told me so when he thought he had me. Luckily, the key piece of evidence against Pendrew fell into my lap and I was able to put him away. Roll credits. Good game, time to uninstall and find my next story.
/Spoiler
I think the next story game I’m going to play will be Dues Ex: Human Revolution. I do still have Dying Light, but I’ve already watched someone play that one through and I just wasn’t really enjoying it so much.
Afternoon
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Well that went poorly. Sure, the game’s a bit older so you could expect some issues but this is the Director’s Cut. It’s supposed to be like an improved version of the original. Gameplay isn’t too bad, but it’s definitely dated. The real problem is all the bugs.
Audio issues constantly. Key character dialog is just silent with no subtitles (even though they’re everywhere else). Beginning of each area starts with a stuck audio loop requiring a reload. All melee kills are also silent? Yeah, I’m good, no more.
I have a feeling that if there wasn’t all the issues I might actually enjoy the game. Still have Mankind Divided to check out at some point. I think I’m done with Deus Ex for the day though. So it’s back to No Man’s Sky.
No Man’s Sky
Things were looking better. I traveled to a few new systems I hadn’t been to before. Found some new recipes, but still not the one I want. I’m fairly sure I am a single recipe (Quantum Processor) away from being able to make the stasis device from scratch. I got a few quests done, earned more units, but I have a feeling I may have run out of stuff to do in game.
Evening
I have a new episode of Killjoys waiting for me. I’ve also got some movies to watch. And I’ve also begun preparations to binge watch Mr Robot soon. I think I’ll start with Killjoys though, I absolutely love that show.
