That final fightā¦ no exaggeration that I think I was close to triple figures in attempts to win that one. Took me the best part of a week playing an hour or two every evening. My other half was driven mental by the music (and me shouting). But the feeling when you do it? Only Dark Souls matches it and that was another final boss I really struggled with.
I donāt stick through many games these days. Iāll often put things on easy just to experience the story. But Sekiro sucked me in big time like few others manage.
Very much looking forward to Elden Ring.

Been thinking of your comment regarding the iconic soundtracks of Martin (Marty) OāDonnell. I went back and listened to the Halo 2 soundtrack this evening. The tracks Ghosts of Reach, In Amber Clad, Orbit of Glass, Heavy Price Paid and Remembrance hit me hard. Havenāt heard them in a very long time, and not since a very personal loss of the person I used to play the Halo games with. I queued up with him at midnight on the launch of Halo 2 and played it all night, and for years to come would revisit the action, taking the fight to the Covenant and Flood forces. Itās incredible how music can be such a driver for emotion and memory. Especially videogame music, as it becomes part of the background to our lives. Halo 2 has a pretty mournful soundtrack outside of the bombast of Earth City and the unusual addition of Incubus. Was never happy with the way the game ended but man, dual-wielding Needlers was crazy amounts of fun.

With two consecutive episodes in left-hand driveā¦
Less and less addictive opuses, absolutely ridiculous dialogues, car collection and crazy modeling is no longer enough.
I remember the maps of test drive I and especially the II I tell myself that those of Turn 10 are very much too small.
Driving is more and more permissive, itās not very stimulating, especially if you had the opportunity to touch Rfactor or Assetto, so Iām playing 5 but it may well be the last.
In short, putting them in a top 10 seems very complicated to me.
Iām into Dirt and GT. But racing games arenāt really ground breaking for me. They just look super good. They ARE good fun tho.
Dirt is fantastic, Dirt 2 too.
Yep! I wish GT would get proper damage treatment.
Iāve never gotten to play those games with a steering rig. And with the ones the have todayā¦itās GOTTA be super fun.
I love driving games but despite having a bunch of them there hasnāt been one that has made me lose myself in a while.
Dirt at the wheel is very very sporty, I only do rotten lap timesā¦
These are the kind of games where I feel old.
But Assetto Corsa and Assetto Competizione I say yes.
Beam NG and Rfactor 2 are great at the wheel too.
Finally the biggest problem with steering wheels apart from the price and finding games that are good with, is the space it takes up when youāre not using it, especially with a stand.
