Ok seriously anyone playing Odyssey make sure you take the time to do the quests and storylines on the Silver Islands (Mykonos and Delos). Great writing and characters. I guess that’s what people mean when they compare some of the sidequest writing to Witcher 3.

There are quite a few ways that whole questline can resolve too, including just murdering the big bad guy outright and bypassing all the relationship drama. Overall the island sidequests can be hit and miss but that storyline is one of the standouts.

I went with telling Kyra the truth about her dad after he was already dead and we’d already shacked up, having the other guy get jealous and try to kill me, and then telling Kyra that I had to kill him, causing her to reject me. I was legitimately really sad at the end!

In my game I followed Kyra's questline but did not do the romance path, told her the truth about Podarkes in the end, and got a nice little pyre scene followed by a party with her and Thelatas ruling Mykonos together. Pretty neat how differently it can go!

I told her and everyone right away. because I was worried it would get out (theres a beggar running around that told ME about it after all) it didnt go well and I rolled with it instead of reloading. I had snuck into the guys room with him asleep to get the proof. when she just got pissed I went and murdered him.

the funny part is I had no interest with sleeping with her so it ended with her telling me we could never be together now because of what I did. and I'm like, :chloe: what, someone has a high opinion of herself? at no time did I try to flirt at all. homie got poisoned too, my bad. sokrates thought it was all "very inter-esting"


Super cool island isolated story area that seems like it can go a lot of different ways.

Hitman 2 Silent Assassin was complete poo poo as I remember it, but I guess they realized games should have actual functioning controls at some point after that because the last Hitman game I tried was OK.

Ha picked up the very last copy of Origins Gold at a local store and paid 39€ since I found out I could use my useless flight miles to get a 10€ voucher instead of letting them expire.

Should be good value for my money I guess. And if not I'll sell it on.

Complete bunk, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin owned. It had a couple of bad levels but that was because it had like 20+ of 'em.

Say, do you know how to do the walk?
Hitman 2 was great as long as you understood that the game wasn't really designed around getting Silent Assassin in every level. There were some missions that are designed around you killing someone in a specific way and that way only.


On another note, I would love if one of the truck simulator games made it over to PS4. Those are surprisingly relaxing.

I got Silent Assassin on every level of Hitman 2 and it literally broke the game and rolled over my score into the negatives on the summary screen. I guess what I'm saying is I agree with you and so did the literal game.

Grand Theft Auto 'cheats' homes raided
The court order allowed Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, to search two properties in Melbourne, Australia, for evidence related to a cheat known as Infamous.

The Australian federal court has also frozen the assets of the five, who have not yet filed a defence.

Seems like what really set them off is that they were selling access to the cheat, directly profiting from it.

There's something weird about a private company requesting a raid and seize of assets because of fake online currency, but I guess that's just me.

Why is it weird? I have zero concern or sympathy for Rockstar's bottom line but like, what do you think is going to happen if you sell something that allows people to get something that normally costs money for free.

They were charging people $40 for the cheat to bypass fake online currency that Rockstar charges real money for. Regardless of how I personally feel about microtransactions, I don't see how this is that shocking or appaling.

paying money to bypass paying money sounds ridiculous, but I guess gta's money sinks must have been deep enough to make it seem worth it

I don't see what is illegal about selling money hacks.

If the hacks include copyrighted code, then, well... they can do a DMCA strike or stop the distribution, but lol, getting the police in the loop?

I guess the rules bend and the law is written by the lobbies.
