RPG Tourist

I thought I would try dual wielding the Sepulcher Axe and Lagertha's Axe. This is a good illustration of why this game should be played on no difficulty less than hard. But I am so addicted to playing as an unstoppable raging Viking that I can't bring myself to move up from normal.  

A few days ago I decided to go back to Valhalla and wait a few weeks for some updates to Cyberpunk 2077. I am confident that CD Projekt Red will be able to address many of the console issues. The news that Sony had pulled Cyberpunk 2077 from their store caused quite a debate in my household last night. I am not the original purchaser of the game so requesting a refund is not up to me but I am kind of upset. It seems like a really good game and to be honest I was a little bored with Valhalla. We can always repurchase Cyberpunk 2077 but I am quite willing to give the devs a chance to improve the PS4 version.

Objects are still jumping up and down occasionally when I get too close, there’s a bit of lag, brief freezes and mis-rendering but it’s not as common as before the patch. I had one issue with a corrupted auto save but an earlier save resolved it. My latest side job is refusing to complete. Grrrr! BECAUSE I NEED MONEY...

 As I mentioned in the photo pages, I found actual barrels behind the Valentine stable long after I had attempted using St. Denis' trees as a substitute. I just posted a couple videos to YouTube on the topic. I'm posting links because they are epilogue plot spoilers. Barrel Racing First Attempt Barrel Racing Second Attempt

I did not know that you could throw weapons out of combat.
