Grim Dawn - Ashes of Malmouth expansion, loving it

It's one of my favourite games by a clear mile....whatever you do....stick with it.

I own DS2 and DS3 and I absolutely hate the series. It definitely isn't for everyone.

I had a history with 'attempting' the series. I heard of the Demon's Soul hype for the PS3, bought it, played it, hated it.
I did the same with Dark Souls for the PS3.....stupidly bought the collector's edition when it came out, played it, hated it.
A friend of mine then gifted me on steam Dark Souls and I installed the resolution mod etc and persisted. This time I loved it.
It is not for everyone that is for sure, but I can only go with my experience that persistence paid off.

It's definitely a bit marmite but is also an incredibly rewarding series, the difficulty does put some off though and I understand that.
Dodge > parry, mainly because I struggle to parry
In rank of preference;
BB > DS2 > DS3 > DS.

I was exactly the same with the Stalker series. Played it a couple of times as I kept reading how good it was and could never get on with it, but then decided to sit there and play for a few hours to give it a proper go and now its one of my favorite game series ever.

I can't get used to the dodge mechanic. I keep trying to dodge sideways like in the Witcher 3, but roll instead and because I'm a Knight class it takes 10 minutes to finish the roll animation lol.

I always go lightweight armour for maximum roll speed, makes it a bit easier.

Started a few new games this week after completing a few last week:
L.A. Noire - I'm sure everyone knows this game, first time playing it for me. Only played a couple of hours but enjoying the story and setting so far.
The Evil Within 2 - my perfect kind of game, loving it.
South Park The Fractured but Whole - plays much the same as The Stick of Truth but with tile based combat this time.
Conarium: Lovecraftian based horror adventure - early days yet but pretty cool so far. It's based on my favourite Lovecraft story The Mountains of Madness so looking forward to see how it progresses.

Thief (the most recent one).
I've only played a part of the introductory chapter but it seems okay so far. Bloody QTE (or something very similar) when opening a window is a shame, though.
The graphics look fairly good though there does seem to be a lack of what I can only describe as a final layer of polish/texture on most of the game world, whereas the odd item in a room looks rather well crafted. I suppose it's that or everything will look super shiny.

I have been sinking a unhealthy amount of time into Vanilla WoW, now known as lightshope. Was elysium/nost. But a change of name yet again.
I'm not even a decent level! Got a 29 hunter who has maxed 225 enchanting already. 22 rogue and as per usual, my auction character which is where I spend most of my time making gold as I previously got stung buying some on the private server so figured I'd play the auction house legitimately this time and it seems to be paying off!
I know it's pointless, but I've made some friends on it already and the social aspect is certainly the same as it was back in retail vanilla. So overall, enjoying it a lot.
However, I've fallen back into my trap of enjoying the pure grind whilst listening to audio books. Really chills me out.

I'm going through my back catalogue of unfinished games in alphabetical order. I'm upto Batman Arkham Knight. Next up will be Bioshock Infinite. I've deleted my previous saved games and started from scratch. It's going to take a LOOOOOONG time to get to XCOM.
Apart from that I just play PUBG and Rocket League with friends
