Assassin's Creed: Odyssey Archives

My gaming preferences are mysterious and ever shifting. Like a leaf upon the wind, one can never be too sure where they may land. … Which is to say, I’m very fickle and typically struggle to settle into any one title for any reasonable...

Time to Loot Journal: July 2019

by Naithin | Jul 31, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy XIV, Journal, Lost Ark, Other Games, Warframe | 7

Looking back over the past month I’m left wondering… What happened? Where did the time go and what did I do? It seems like a lifetime ago that the health scare raised its head, and yet it was only a handful of weeks. The endoscopy is...

Current Games of Interest: July 2019

by Naithin | Jul 22, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Blog, Final Fantasy XIV, Other Games | 0

This one’s a little odd. Usually I have another game I’m adding when I do these posts. Not so this time. But I’ve been giving my games list on the sidebar the side-eye for a while. It is very much not accurate. Beyond even the...

Second Go-Round with Nioh

by Naithin | Jun 18, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Blog, Final Fantasy XIV, Other Games, Tomb Raider, Transport Fever | 3

Ahh yes. The genuine Edo-period ‘Valve’ helm. This has been coming for a wee while. Ever since playing Sekiro, the urge to play Nioh again has been building. Making time for it has been another matter entirely. I have been playing a bit...

Time to Loot Journal: May 2019

by Naithin | Jun 1, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy XIV, Journal, Other Games, The Division 2, Transport Fever | 2

Well… May is a month that happened. While nothing as earth shaking as March, it was closer to home. In the respect that it was both to people I knew and to a degree it was from action I was executing. I’m talking about the restructure...

FFXIV Back Again

by Naithin | May 28, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Blog, Final Fantasy XIV, Other Games, The Division 2, Tomb Raider, Transport Fever | 4

This month has been very light on gaming. Mostly, I think, due to the changes at work. As I mentioned in that post, there were unavoidable impacts to my team where a few positions had to be cut and I know for one in particular this has been quite a...

Pushing into the DLC of Odyssey

by Naithin | May 8, 2019 | Assassin's Creed | 0

Since last time, I rose to the top of the Mercenary food-chain. … Or so I thought. And more importantly, the Cult of Kosmos is no more. I will admit too, that I was legitimately surprised at how that whole saga played out. Even after...

Time to Loot Journal: April 2019

by Naithin | May 1, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Gaming, Journal, Other Games, The Division 2, Tomb Raider, Transport Fever | 0

April was a comparative breeze to last month. It seemed to go by so fast, too! Possibly helped somewhat by the extended break that Easter and ANZAC day allowed for by taking just a few extra annual leave days to bridge the gaps for a bit over a...

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey Added to the Game List and Other Surprises

by Naithin | Apr 27, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Blog, Final Fantasy XIV, Other Games, The Division 2, Tomb Raider | 0

Still not sure what the right rhythm for updating the games list is. Or even if there will be a ‘rhythm’ to it at all. I had intended to make updates on a monthly cycle but here we are with the second update this month. It has become...

Playing Past the End

by Naithin | Apr 26, 2019 | Assassin's Creed | 0

I ‘finished’ Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey roughly 20 hours of play ago. I finished what I would consider to be the main story thread regarding your family in any case. Perhaps 10 hours of play ago, I finished the story strand linking...

I’m a Photo Mode Convert

by Naithin | Apr 23, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Featured Posts, Gaming | 6

It isn’t that I disliked or had anything against the presence of a ‘Photo Mode’, it’s more that I saw it as unnecessary. Superfluous fluff. Nothing wrong with taking screenshots the ‘old’ way. Maybe give me a...

Dragon Age 4 as Live Service

by Naithin | Apr 11, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Other Games | 2

Jason Schrier is on a bit of a roll of late with the BioWare inner-sanctum access articles. The latest is a look at the history and likely future of Dragon Age 4. That future including the perhaps worrying ‘Live Service’ descriptor, on...
