After sneaking into Dogtown, V witnessed the crash of the president's plane then she tried to save the president and Songbird.
I suck at playing this type of game, so I adjusted the in-game difficulty settings and dialled it down to "easy mode".
The game has a weird bug after the third act of the story where audio during the cut-scenes went silent. I hope the developers fix it in the future.
The prologue is a tutorial that helps you with the basics of this game. I was very surprised that even at the lowest difficulty I still failed the mission in my first attempt. I did not expect planning to be quite important even in the tutorial. Building the wrong buildings wasted too much material and that led to not enough resources to build what I really needed.
If you like survival/management games, consider playing FP2. It's challenging and fun at the same time. (I'm not sponsored, I got it via Xbox GamePass on PC.)
By the way, my pc setup is as follows: AMD 5700G, 32GB RAM, RTX 3070ti, 2TB NVME SSD. My pc is basically Minisforum B550 + RTX 3070ti + 750w PSU.
Dusty Bear called to ask me for help with his investigation of a sketchy delivery.
So far, it pretty much shows what this game currently has to offer. Different jobs includes, long trailers, just-in-time, heavy, dangerous goods, perishable goods, etc. You earn money from these jobs, upgrade your ship/truck, and earn more from doing more jobs. It's pretty relaxing overall but with intense moments from time to time, like evading rocks or junk from hitting your trailer. I have been enjoying this game, but I might put it down for a while to try out some other games that are just out. Also, I will start to make more music, so see you all in the next video!
I made this instrumental for a song that I really love. This song is from the French band L'Impératrice. Their songs are amazing. Please listen to them if you are interested.

By the way, I was playing on custom difficulty which tuned down damage to trailers and the truck. On normal difficulty, this will be much harder.
Because of the Relic Chip, V cheated death again. Then she went to confront the Voodoo Boys. V learned during the process that Brigitte didn't want to help her, instead, she just wanted to use V to get to Alt Cunningham, Jonny's girlfriend and the best netrunner in Night City.
When Brigitte extracted some memory from Jonny via V's chip, V learned about how Alt was killed and her consciousness escaped into the deep net. Jonny and V saw the new Alt, but she had completely changed to a heatless machine. The new Alt recognised Jonny, because of Alt's memory, but doesn't care about anything anymore. V cut a deal with Alt to save herself with the help of Jonny.
With some help from Mr. Hands (a fixer), V contacted the Voodoo Boys. They want to hire V to do a job.
V went on to find Evelyn since she was the one who hired her for the heist; however, a visit to the Cloud revealed that Evelyn had been attacked and sent to a ripper doc called Fingers. Fingers told V and Judy that he couldn't fix Evelyn, so he sent her to an underground BD farm. With some help from Judy, V found out that the location of the shady underground BD farm is underneath a power plant.
While V was busy finding/saving Evelyn, Takemura managed to get some help from one of his old acquaintances.
Later they went on as planned to get the relic chip from the hotel; however, an unexpected argument between Yorinobu and his father forced V and Jackie to hide inside the suite. After witnessing Yorinobu choked his dad to death, V and Jackie got caught while trying to escape from the hotel.
Eventually, they managed to escape from the enemies, thanks to the getaway car, the AI taxi Delamain. But Jackie was severely injured and eventually died while on their way to Dexter's safe house. While escaping, the relic chip container was damaged, so Jackie put the chip inside his neuro port. Before dying, he gave the chip to V so she could continue protecting it and get the job done.
When V met Dexter in the No-tell hotel, Dexter shot her in the head and dumped the body in the garbage dump field.
While being dead, V experienced some strange memory of another guy named Johnny Silverhand. He went on a concert stage to say farewell to his fans, then went on a mission to put a nuclear bomb inside the Arasaka Building. Jonny was captured during the mission by Adam Smasher, a legend of the Night City and a mercenary of the Arasaka Corp. Jonny, then, met the founder of Arasaka Corp, Saburo. Instead of killing Jonney, Saburo copied Jonny's consciousness onto a chip. (This is the relic chip, V and Jackie got from Yorinobu's hotel suite)
Just as V somehow woke up from death in the garbage dump field, Takemura (Saburo's bodyguard) came to find her and tried to find out what happened during Yorinobu and his father Saburo's argument. They got ambushed by some mysterious mercs and went to V's ripper doc Viktor (Vik) to get themselves fixed up. Vik managed to stabilize V but couldn't fix her up completely. Vik explained to V that being killed by Dexter activated the relic chip which contains Jonny's consciousness. The nanobots inside the chip had started to replace her consciousness with Jonny's. Eventually, only the body of V is left, but the mind will be Jonny.
Devastated by the news, V went home accompanied by Misty to have some rest; however, Jonny started to appear in her mind and the two had their first violent encounter.
V went to her regular ripperdoc, Viktor, to get some upgrades to prepare for the big job; then met with Dexter to discuss the job details. Dexter told V that his client, Evelyn, wanted a relic chip from Arasaka Corporation. To succeed in this job they need two things. 1. Talk to Evelyn about the details of where the chip is. 2. Get a robotic "dog" that the Maelstrom (the most dangerous gang of Night City) snatched from the Militech Corp.
V then went to Lizzie's Bar to talk to Evelyn. Evelyn told V that they will be stealing from Yorinobu (the son of the Arasaka Corp owner, Saburo) and she also wanted to cut out Dexter from this deal. V wasn't sure about dropping the fixer because that's a huge taboo in her line of service. While talking to Evelyn, V also met Judy, an expert in BrainDance (BD). Using the BD Evelyn recorded while "servicing" Yorinobu, the group found out about the security details of Yorinobu's hotel suite and the location of the relic chip.
Now that Phantom Liberty DLC has been out for a while, I thought it would be nice to play it again like a brand-new game.
In this episode, V just started out as a Nomad. She went on to do some work with a fixer, Jacky Wells, whom she just met. They later became partners.
I must warn you that this is an adult game, so don't show this to your kids! This game contains nudity, blood, and crime.
Jak agreed to the plan but still wanted to talk to the Pentacade before Sandrakk started his plan. They went to the shrouded realm and found the Pentacade. While talking to it, Jak learned the truth.
The Pentacade was not trying to kill humans, he created Rook and his kind (the Aelori) to absorb the negative side of the magic power. They were supposed to help humans with their magic to purify it so it doesn't damage Aveum. But humans thought the Aelories were there to kill them, so they tried to hunt them down. Without the Alories to help negate the corruption the magic power brings, the Wound started to appear in Aveum. As time went on, it grew larger and now it is about to destroy Aveum completely.
Jak was then sent to Rook by the Pentacade. Rook agreed to help Jak and they now try to stop Sandrakk from killing the Pentacade. After defeating Sandrakk, they started to heal the Wound; however, due to its sheer size, the Alories couldn't stop it from expanding. At this moment, Jak jumped into the Wound and exploded himself with the binding stone. The wound was fixed but at the sacrifice of Jak.
Later, Jak was resurrected by the Pentacade and sent back to Aveum.
Overall, the game's story was alright, but the PC version was very unstable. My game crashed about 10 times while I was playing, and I had to limit the framerate to about 30 in some cases to avoid crashes. I don't know how well it performed on Consoles.
If you are interested in playing it, try it out with "gamepass" on Xbox/PC or PS5. I would not buy it simply because of those crashes.
When Jak arrived, he tried to persuade Luna (the Hand) to help him. Sandrakk forced Jak to tell him where the binding stone was (because Jak's binding mark could sense where the stone was.) Sandrakk invaded the headquarter of the Immortals and wrecked havoc. He got the stone, absorbed the last Font, killed Devyn and took Gerenal Kirkan.
At the last moment, Luna managed to save Jak before he got killed and they went back to Seren. Now that Sandrakk had absorbed every Font, he controlled all the magic of Aveum. He sealed/locked all of Magnis' magic power and occupied all places with his followers. He was looking for Luna as she betrayed him.
Jak found out that his binding mark's connection to Font could lift SAandrakk's seal. So he lifted the seal for everyone and escaped Seren with Luna. He then went to Kalthus to find Zendara. (She was a Princess of Kalthus, so Jak figured that She would probably go back to Kalthus after the fall of the Immortals.)
Sandrakk had a plan to kill the Pentacade, but he needed help from Jack. He approached the last few Immortals (Jak, Zendara, and Thaddaus) and "invited" Jak to his ship for a talk by threatening to kill everyone Jak cared about if he didn't.
With the binding mark, Jak was able to track Sandrakk to the Deepmere (the bottom of an ocean). He defeated Sandrakk with Devyn and Zendara and retrieved the binding stone; however, Kirkan was pretty angry about not destroying the binding stone and ordered Jak to lock the stone inside the Vault.
Surprisingly, Thaddaus actually survived and asked Jak to visit him and Rook.
I feel sad for Thaddeus because he only had 5 minutes of fame and died. He was the previous leader of the Immortals and, over the years, he had been exploring loads of different places. He must have mastered a verity of magic spells, but we simply wouldn't know how strong he was.
He found out that Sandrakk wanted to control all of the magic power. To achieve that, he needed to absorb the Leylines. That's why the Hand of Sandrakk was searching ancient ruins and looking for binding stones of each type of magical power.
Sandrakk successfully absorbed the green magical power, and tried to "persuade" Kirkan into surrendering Lucain; however, Kirkan used the negotiation as a trap, attempting to kill Sandrakk. Failed to do so, Jak got hurt but was saved by his CO Zendara.
Now that Jak knows what Sandrakk is trying to do, he and his fellow Immortals try to find other binding stones (sigils) to stop Sandrakk. They go on an adventure to find Thaddeus, the previous leader of the Immortals, who knows more about the remaining sigils.
This game was recently available on Xbox Gamepass Ultimate. It's a shooter RPG game. The story so far is meh, but if you like fast-paced piu-piu games, give it a try.
Here's the story of this video:
Jak and Luna were thieves working together to make a living in Seren. An attack on their city killed Luna and revealed that Jak was one of the special mages (something like "the chosen one") who could use all three types of magic power. Kirkan (the Grand Magnus of the Immortals) recruited Jak
and trained him for 5 years. On the land of the Aveum, the Everwar has been going on for ages where different countries fight for the control of the Leylines which are the source of magical power.
After training, Jak first went to help defend Lucium from an attack by the Rasharn Kingdom and Sandrakk (the main antagonist) and learned that the Hand of Sandarkk was investigating an ancient ruin in search of an artefact. Then, he went on to the selection challenge and successfully became an Immortal.
Using this knowledge, Cal successfully found Bode; however, determined to keep Tanalorr hidden from anyone else (so he could "protect" his daughter from the Empire), Bode refused to share this hidden planet with the Hidden Path.
When defeated, instead of giving up, Bode chose to ambush Cal but he failed because of his broken blaster. (It was damaged during their fight.) Cal killed Bode and held a funeral for his mentor Cere, Master Cordova, and Bode. With Kata and everyone's consent, they decided to use Tanalorr as the new base for the Hidden Path.
Bode killed Master Cordova and escaped with the Compass to his imperial base. Cal got knocked down while trying to get the compass back. Cere successfully retrieved the communication code of the Hidden Path but was unfortunately killed by the Darth Vader.
Cal tracked Bode to his base and basically did a full "house cleaning"; (I lost a bit of footage of this part where Cal confronted Bode about his actions) however, this was all planned by Bode. He used Cal to destroy the base while he escaped to Tanalorr.
Later, Cal learned that there is another way to get to Tanalorr and the group is on their way to find Bode again.
Dagen helped the Old Republic create these compasses to make Tanalorr a safe haven for training new Jedis. When Tanalorr was attacked by the empire, the Old Republic gave up on the planet. Yet, Dagen, being obsessed with Tanalorr, denied the Old Republic's order and started killing anyone who disagreed with him.
Unfortunately, the compasses he retrieved were severely damaged. Master Cordova found out from some old records that there were originally three compasses. So there's hope that the last remaining one is still functional.
Cal then went to Jedha to discuss this matter with Cere and met Merrin who had been helping Cere from time to time after the group last parted ways.
A while ago, Arthur received a letter from his ex Mary knowing that the gang had come to Valentine. After meeting Mary, Arthur learned that Jamie, Mary's little brother, got himself into a cult. Worried about his life, Mary begged Arthur to save Jamie and bring him back.
this game is about breaking down ships. You cut the ship with your cutter and salvage different components through different portals. The more ships you salvage, the better gear and skills you can acquire. There are different challenges like different components you need to be careful with, and different hazards you need to know how to deal with......
I was trying it out and really enjoyed the first few hours. Give it a try if you are looking for a game to simply chill and relax for a bit. It's also quite satisfying similar to the pressure-washing simulator.

While heading back to camp, Arthur played a few rounds of Blackjack (00:51:03 to 01:13:20) and saved Mr Swanson who was completely hammered.
I completed this small project a while back, but I just realized that I never published it. I hope you enjoy it!
