Peggle 2 as I predicted is ticking me off. It’s not that it is too hard or taxing my fingers, it’s just the headaches have returned and I’m begging for it to be over. I only have half a dozen objectives left and then I can call it quits but I’m trying to do so before the New Year. Then I can put it away for a very long time unless the DLC goes on sale for a $1 or something (which hopefully isn’t for six months at least)
I did play Skyrim for a hot minute over the past week, pick pocketing and sneaking my way to level 5. Once a thief, always a thief. I think I shot a few arrows too, it’s amazing how fluid this game is on Xbox One X. I don’t think I ever want to go back to Xbox 360 for that particular game even if I have a ridiculous high level save there. I have no idea how long it will take me to get even close to what I was on the 360 version but playing it here and there seems to be the best idea.
I did get a few games for Christmas including Control Ultimate Edition, Cyberpunk 2077 and Cloudpunk. Obviously, I’ll wait on Cyberpunk as I see no reason to throw myself into bug hell. I do have confidence it will turn out to be an amazing game (and I pity those who jumped off the bridge so quickly and got refunds), but I also believe that it will be about six months before we get there. Control and Cloudpunk are already pretty well vetted and mostly bug free so I imagine I would play one of those first.
If you are looking for sales, then be sure to visit the following link for this week.
There really isn’t much to be had that’s new (since this is the last week of the Countdown sale) on the 360 side. A good point of interest is that the DLC for ArcaniA(not backwards compatible) is on sale. The Raven DLCs (also not BC) are also on sale if you never got around to finishing those. On the Xbox One side, there is as usual tons to go through but I’m kinda taking a look at Bear with Me which for the complete collection is under $5 now (and I do have Microsoft Rewards to burn). On the retro end but updated for Xbox One, I do want to make a quick mention and remind you that Doom 64 is still only $1.49 for the rest of the week. It’s normally only $5 but at that price, it’s easily worth the nostalgia trip. Have a great New Year week and Enjoy.
