Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag New Game - No Upgrades / No Harbourmaster / No General Store (Challenge)

How I ended up after completing this mental challenge In this playthrough of the gorgeous Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag , I am doing a raw, insanely mental "classic mode" challenge gameplay without any upgrades for Edward or the Jackdaw. I am not buying any ammo either, and don't open any chests, except for when this is required for optional objectives (namely, in "Nothing Is True" and "Diving For Medicines"). For ammo, I loot bodies and also hunt animals so as to have bones available to craft darts. And I use only Edward's default inventory until the end. I do not buy anything either from the Harbourmasters or the General Stores, and strictly use the market the times that are obligatory by the plot itself, specifically: -to buy the first pair of swords in "Lively Havana", which the game requires as part of the story -to get the intermediate hull in "Prizes and Plunder" as the first obligatory upgrade -to buy the inte...

Life Is Strange 2 - Blood Brothers Playthrough

A playthrough of Life Is Strange 2, where I go for the Blood Brothers ending. It was the ending that I got by chance in my original playthrough, but this time I am consciously making choices that lead to that finale. Life Is Strange 2 is one of the most beautiful games ever made, with great replay value as, apart from the concluding outcomes, there can be variations in secondary situations, depending on seemingly unimportant choices. Even when you get the same final result, there may be differences in several details, due to which Sean's choices may affect Daniel's incidental reactions and cause his education to take different paths each time.

Life Is Strange 2 Extended Playthrough (All Souvenirs, Sketches & Achievements)

This is my original playthrough of the beautiful Life Is Strange 2 by Dontnod, which started on 9 October 2018 and ended on 6 December 2019. The game took almost a year to be fully released, as each episode was offered within a space of three to four months. It was a bizzare experience for me, being the first time that I followed a game during its schedule and bought each episode upon release (with the exception of Episode 2, which I got much later than its original release date). It was a bit stressing at times, having to wait for months for the next episode, often having forgotten several of my choices, but it was quite intriguing nonetheless, as noone knew beforehand how the story would conclude, depending on decisions taken even months back. I got the Blood Brothers ending, which I think is the most powerful and emotional of all.
