Report #29 October(aka the comeback)

Oh well, even tho it's supposed to be October report throwing in a game from end of september. Got the souls like choice back in september and meant to play the game, started with Enotria: The Last Song, I think I am around half-way, buuuut went to check a chieves guide and mentions of possible broken achievements kinda killed it for me and abandoned it there. Will have to see if it will remain like this or I get back to it as atm left the game installed along the many others that are awaiting to be played.

Now to October. Left the title of the month comeback as I kinda went to make progress to some older games. Made again some levels on my last chieve in Battlefront II after stopped playing it back in august(I just play on wednesdays during triple xp), probably having to play another 4-ish hours to make the rest of the 6 levels that i need but I'm not sure if I'll manage to finish it in November as the burnout kinda started appearing again this week. Went again to Idle Champions to get some of the achievements that have been added since my last session, probably will also play first week of november to get all that I can and the probably abandoned again some months until more variants gets added in. Last game on the last of comebacks would be Euro Truck Simulator 2; SCS added their annual halloween WOT event, and I mostly tend to the events that can be done both games only in ETS2, no playtime on American Truck Simulator this time, and played few days to finish it and get my items. Probably will have one more session of ETS2 and ATS in both november and december as both are close to getting their newest map expansion, but most likely won't be able to purchase both in november. There is also the annual Christmas event which will get some play time from me.

The initial plan for October was to finish both Lake and Plucky Squire. Managed to start Lake at the beginning of the month after finishing the short Radiant One, game that I purchased back when the day before debacle happened as it has the same dev and was expecting this game to be removed and purchased it back then and just managed to play it this month, and play like two in-game days of Lake aaaaaaaand went sidetracked and abandoned it, Plucky Squire is there on the sad installed and never touched list of games and went full in on battlefields. Mostly BF6 got my time, but managed to cram in the story of BF3 as well. Where the latter doesn't have story achievements I think I won't go into MP as there are few that look like a total pain. Will remain to be seen if I go with another older BFs in november or just continue with just BF6 to get it to 100% achievements. No idea if I'll manage to get back to Lake and Plucky Squire again next months but it is what it is. Along all the other mentioned have also been the weekly 1-2 evenings of CS2 to get the weekly drop, won't link it here; Idle Slayer where I managed to get one more achievement(probably will get one more in November as well), Wild West saga and Firestone; most likely will continue with them in November as well. Aaaaaaaand think this was the full month.

Report #28(aka Recap #1)

This is a bit overwhelming, made a bit of order in my lists, probably the ABC challenge could be counted as dead in the water, left some quick to grab in not categorized as I play so start playing them, but should probably move them in unplayed due to my habits. Not sure exactly where to start and probably will miss a lot as long time passed, and no way anything will be in a chronological order, so will start a bit with ties of report 27.
As I was playing through Dark Souls PTDE back then, in the meantime managed to complete it, along with Dark souls 2 and Elden Ring. Dark Souls 3 got a bit more complicated, started, abandoned and continued it a lot of times. Friede killed my confidence and I hardly managed to finish the new game and farm some of the stuff needed for achievements but will need two additional runs of it in NG+ to complete it. Also have Dark souls 1 remastered and Dark souls 2 scholars of the sin editions but didn't got yet to "doubling" my same game finish. Also thinking about getting Sekiro where I am on the fromsoftware talk but feels like that one will give me even a harder time so kinda post-pone it purchasing it since the game came out 🙃.

Moving along idle games. The death of me, mostly spent my time in those big 3 ongoing ones and possible the out of the updates loop Wild West Saga. In case you don't play idle games, don't make the mistake of starting it. Won't go into too much details on the games. Would also throw Universe Sandbox here due to the play one year achievement and Stanley Parable where they have the don't paly the game for 5 years achievement.

Now as there is nothing else that I could speak that ties to report 27, freestyle time. Starting with Hazelight games, God bless and screw you Josef Fares. Great and fun games if you ignore the always ending on the sad part in the story. The ones on EA Originals labels are also co-op, but the older brothers is single player. Started with A way Out on the ea access back in 2019, which i partly replayed in the beginning of the year to get all achievements(hence the small playtime on record), It Takes Two that i played on friend pass on launch and replayed fully again this year on steam as i purchased it a while ago, continuing with Split Fictions that I purchased on launch this year and finishing with the oldest game of their Brothers A tale of two sons. Now waiting for their next game.

Continuing with a bit more EA, starting with some other games on EA Originals label, mostly sadly purchased on their historical lowest price. Played Fe, Sea of Solitude and Unravel and finished the story of them during same time with A way out on EA access, repurchased them on steam as well, in 2020 got Unravel 2 as well and beaten it. Both Unravels are a bit hard on the achievements side so haven't tried to go for 100% yet. Sea of Solitude got 100% this year, but on Fe was completely lost I think I'll need to redo a full playtrough for 100%. Recently finished Tales of Kenzera:Zau as well. Back to the main EA label, finished titanfall 2(played campaign initially on the famed two months of EA access that i continue mentioning as probably was one of my most active time with the ammount of games that i played in the month or two months span that it was), finished the two star wars from respawn, finished payback and heat; went back for the hundredth time and managed to get all achievements in plants vs zombies goty last year, and also started Battlefront 2 and plants vs zombies battle for neighborville for which I finished the story but I am left with the online grind. Was thinking of trying to play some battlefield games as well as I enjoyed bf1 on the few hours that i got on origin(rip) but most likely the online achievements are grindy as hell like most of the EA games.

Apart from those biggest "spenders" have been American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator, used to have 100% for ATS and close to 100% on ETS but they added that driving school which is driving me nuts(went half-way through it on ETS) and most of my time on them have been only their worldoftrucks events. Used to play Apex legends before it started to give me random bluescreens and stopped playing in around 2023ish(if my memory servers my right) and period when I am playing CS for the weekly drop in hopes of making some spare change. On this same note somehow lost my access to Pixel Puzzles Ultimate somewhere around in 2022-2023(observed it after I took a break from the monthly puzzles) but neither the devs, nor steam support was able to help me get the game back on a playable state(store shows that i have it, but if i try to install it tells me that I don't have it). Giving also a bit of a showout to fellow nationality studio(although they now have an italian dev on second game) Stuck in Attic, had their first game(Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure) purchased on launch, but played through it this year when their second game(Near-Mage) came out. Outside of those different periods of those random russian games, some adult puzzle games, those new 100 animals games, adult games demo with achievement, trying to finish some beaten games with achievements left to farm(some already mentioned above) and recently games around and smaller than 10 hours mark.

Future plans, nada, lying to myself that I will continue with my smallish games quest with prio on Lake and Plucky Squire, but have been since forever on 70-ish games installed and playing my neverending stuff instead of finishing any of the other games. Hopefully will be able to come back with a monthly-ish report if I will manage to overcome my job restructure period and looking for something else won't eat my measly available free time. The only reasons that I finished this wall of text(hopefully it is somehow readable as it was redacted during multiple days, so hours on game might differ from current profile) so fast from my comeback message is that it rained too much and the other pressing matters got delayed and managed to get a bit more free time than usual as last year have been way too full, probably half of the next one will remain the same, but it is what it is.

See you next time and happy gaming in the meantime!

Laziest assassin back in business(hopefully), a lot happened in the last 6 years, more of real life and not so much of backlog assassinations thought, having to sort out my uncategorized list and update on site the small progress that I made hopefully do a full report in the follow 10-14 days in case I don’t go MIA again for years and years.
See you next time and happy gaming in the meantime!

Aka the late may update. This month has been a bit more full because found that one site/ community/ group came back. Got permission from admins/ moderators to talk about it.

Also hello as I skipped it in first paragraph.

Most time eater play of the month was definitely Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition. Started it few days before April was finished, but played mostly during May. At the beginning of month had last boss from main story left and two bosses from the dlc. In the meantime managed to finish the dlc and started to farm some stuff so I can focus only on bosses on NG+ to 100% the game. The game is on hold till Monday as Apex got some double xp at the moment.

And now the sellout part. The group I mentioned at the beginning of the post. Probably someone heard of them, they go by the name of BountyMode. They had few “hunts” at the end of last year where I managed to finish two of them and got 2 bundles as prizes(it was on the first finished, first got basis, for each game few achievements were required). They came back in May(or late April, not sure to be honest, found it May about their comeback) on discord with indie challenges on various themes. This time they require 100% achievements from the games on the theme, and it’s no longer first finished first received basis, the ones who finished the challenges were entered on discord raffle and winners had to pick their prize from a list of games. On 17 they will launch the site again, not sure if they will keep the same format or it will be changed for the future challenges.
Joined their challenge which lasted biggest part of the month. The “Star Wars” challenge where you had to play games starting with each different letter from the words, or fully complete them for additional entries. Managed to finish The Silent Age, Air Threat, Toren,World Keepers: Last Resort, Rising Islands, Replica and Suicide Guy for the challenge. No luck at the prize. Played a bit more games than my usual months because the price incentive, and maybe someone else will find it as well.

For June the plan would be to save my Apex Legends battle pass, they have double xp this weekend and one bp level reward for each top 5 per day until it ends, possibly around 15 June, 100% dark souls ptde and start next one.

Guess this was all for May. Made some formatting but I think it looks worse than wall of text :/ . See you next time and happy gaming in the meantime!

Report #26
Hello again. This one probably will end up a bit bigger than previous monthly reports.

For April managed to finish Trine 2, Crysis 3, A Way Out and made more progress for Crusaders of the lost idols( they added a new campaign so more steam achievements), Clicker Heroes, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Apex Legends, Half Life 2 and started on the last few days Dark Souls.

A Way Out. Played it with a co-worker. I found it nice, even though the ending disappointed me a bit. There are a lot of “mini-games” that are incorporation of different genres, and a nice story, and even though the game screen is splitted on half for each character on one side, during different important moments the focus( either it goes full screen, or it gets enlarged compared to the other side) is switched to the story one.

Crysis 3. My story with crysis isn’t that good. Finished Crysis 1 ages ago, Warhead never played(hopefully I will play it this month),2 like two years ago, and finished now 3. Always enjoyed them and not sure if I’m glad or sad that more haven’t come. I will remember Prophet as he asked.

Trine 2. Finished it in multiplayer with the same co-worker with which I finished A Way Out(he wanted more co-op after a way out). Was okay, probably will play the other two games when I’ll get my hands on them. As a side note it was a sg win so I got that going for me which is nice.

Crusaders of the lost idols. Saw that they added a new campaign last month. Managed to get all except one achievement. I think I heard that there will be more on the way so will play it a bit more.

Clicker Heroes. Managed to get the achievement for 100 revives and now i have left the 100 buries. Currently I’m at 93. Should finish it this month.

Euro Truck Simulator 2. Made the one delivery to each new zone of the event. Managed to get few more achievements along the way.

Apex Legends. Kinda slacked on this one. When I watch streams of it I’m like damn, I would like to play it, and when I go I kinda get tired after 1-2 games. Hopefully will be able to finish my battle pass.

Half Life 2. Where I kinda got tired of Apex Legends started to play HL2 again during my breaks at work. Managed to get to second last level.

The plans for next month would be cotli, clicker heroes, ets2(there is one more destination), hl2 and what comes after it, maybe will be able to play some more origin games where I still have 2 weeks of access left, and hopefully I can finish dark souls.

Guess this was all for April. See you next time and happy gaming in the meantime!

Report #25
Hello again. It seems that I kinda keep up with posting, even if they are small and ugly. This one will be smaller than ussual.

Nothing much to report for March.
Kinda abandoned HL2 in my work breaks as I bought the battle pass of apex legends and all my focus is on it at the moment to get to the top rewards of it till the season end. More on the origin side, managed to finish Fe. Also managed to finish the dlcs of Witcher 3, made all side quests for my run, but didn’t bother with all side-activities( all the question marks in Skellige are killing me). Also finished first part of the Euro Truck Simulator 2 event(the 10 transports from the cities) and as a side note today also finished the 5 different destinations( as just today it unlocked, each destinations being active 3 days). Also started Crysis 3 and Styx: Masters of Shadows. Also small progress on the road to 100%-ing the steam achievements of Clicker Heroes.

For the current plan the plan will be focus on damn apex battle pass and in between finish some of Origin games where managed to snatch 2 months in the giveaways from march. As I mentioned untill now managed to beat Fe, and started Crysis 3( still haven’t played Crysis Warhead, have it on steam, maybe will finish soon as well) where I managed to finish like 2-3 missions so far. The plan will be to finish it, and as well finish Unravel( have progressed somewhere around half of it some years ago when I got one month of origin acces), Unravel 2, A Way Out( after I find a partner, cries in forever alone), story of fifa 17 so I can play the story of 18 and 19 as well, but these 2 I own so not much rush with them. And probably if will have more time left, which most likely won’t have, maybe give a try to Mirror’s Edge Catalyst and Dragon Age Inquisition. Regarding the Clicker Heroes, with some luck will be able to finally finish with it this month( have 10 revives left and around 20 buries left). Also will focus on doing one transport for each destination that is yet to come of the ETS2 event just for the sake of it(the event will go up till mid May if I remember right).

This was all for this month(it ended a bit longer than what I expected). Happy gaming and see you the next time.

Report #24
Well, here I am after a month(who could’ve guessed) and not going rogue again, hopefully next month will be here again.
Not much happened in February, as games completed only Half Life: Opposing Forces and Half Life: Blue Shift, and started Half Life 2.
On Witcher 3 side finished Heart of Stone, and made some progress with Blood and Wine. Not sure how far managed to get in blood and wine, hopefully around 75% if not more. Did every side quest and for the main quest I’m in the book of whatever is was called.
Made a little more progress as well on Time Clickers and Clicker Heroes but still long way till I 100% them.
Also small progress on backlog is mainly due to Apex Legends. Managed to get around 50 something hours in it, probably will sink some more hours this month as well.
For future plans, to finish Witcher 3, continue on my clickers, and hopefully to finish with half life as well which I only play at breaks at work. Probably for my home runs after I finish with Witcher will continue with GTA IV or start with the Styx games, remains to be seen how I will go.

Guess this was all for February. See you next time and happy gaming in the meantime!

Report #23

Will try to keep my ugly updates on a monthly basis, to have some incentive to play more games( ha, ha, updates that are with jokes). So will try to keep it short not go again full monologue.

So for January, managed to finish Assassin’s Creed Unity and Overlord, and today managed to finish Half Life(yeah, never played them, a mission of hl2 for some playfire rewards some years back but let’s say that doesn’t count).

For things I started, Witcher 3 Hearts of stone and will continue after with Blood and Wine( finished the game back in summer and abandoned the dlcs, and the plan was to free some space for Metro Exodus, but everyone should know what happened with it, and decided to cancel my preorder of the aurora edition). Also going forward with Half Life Opposing Forces( like with HL will play it only in my breaks at work). Along with those two continuing my quests to finish the clickers that i started ages ago, Clicker Heroes and Time Clickers, for Clicker Heroes have two steams achievements left(revive and bury mercenaries) and for Time Clickers a lot of progress left to make to get all achievements.

Guess this was all for January. See you next time and happy gaming in the meantime!

Report #22
If people might wonder who am I, the answer is the laziest assassin. So much time passed since my last update that I even forgot what are the few games that I managed to finish in the meantime.

Last few months played mostly FUT of FIFA 19, but no more. The game, is not the best, and it’s a bit p2w and a bit more time wasting so I am in the quitting zone. Even after a good last day of fifa when I managed to win like 5-6 of my 8 games. Tried two more times to quit it during rage quits and no luck, but tomorrow will make my week since last fifa game.

So back to the main topic….completed games… after a bit of digging, around 1-2 games for the monthly themes between march-august, or something like that, some hogs, some small games. The big ones that I remember finishing Witcher 3(just main story, with bad ending :(, and then lazied out of the dlcs…maybe will start them now that I have more free time since I quitted fifa), Darksiders.

Last two weeks were better, made the events in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, finished the chronicles series of assassin’s creed( just normal, won’t bother with the extra modes, probably won’t even bother any more with 100%-ing games unless they are easy), and today finished the story of Asassin’s creed Rogue and got the pilot ending of Metro 2033( started Last Light as well today, made small progress), regarding metro started them where I #yoloed and pre-order exodus(at least read the books at the beginning of 2018, so wasn’t that out of story). Probably will focus on just 1 game as on Monday back to work( last two weeks have been on “holiday leave”), as till now splitted my time between two games. Probably will soon begin Unity and then Syndicate( wasn’t sure what to buy on sale, was close to buy rocket league, but I’m sure would’ve have drowned all my hours in it, so I went for the AC bundle( where I had black flag already) and hopefully can focus more on playing games than buying them for 2019.

Thanks for your time, sorry for the wall( I suck at formatting) and happy gaming till we see the next time(whenever that is, and if you are still around :D: )!

Report #21
Last week had it free of work. Had some days for gaming, some for traveling.
This is will be another lazy report with no formating. Managed to finish Crusaders of the Lost Idols(untill they will add more campaigns…they will surely add more, will just hang with it during it’s events), AR-K and Hero of the Kingdom.
Since I got back from my travelings last week didn’t managed to play too much. Haven’t started anything to play during my breaks either because I will get moved soon to another floor and probably will start after something.
Probably next report won’t be too soon. Till then happy gaming everyone!
