That puzzle and some ones involving lockers were the only ones I had to use a guide for. But yeah, I looked at the solution and went “I would have never gotten this by myself”

That’s fair. The story in Tsushima took like 10 hours to get me to the point where I was invested and even then, Jin was pretty forgettable outside of the relationship with his mentor. Great supporting cast but Jin himself bored me a lot.

After Rise of the Ronin and Assassin’s Creed Shadows, I should be fairly samurai-fatigued at this point but GoY is so good about getting me invested immediately and then naturally leading me to points of interest (side quests, activities, collectibles) that it’s real hard to put down.

10 hours in and Ghost of Yotei feels like a Assassin’s Creed 2/Mass Effect 2-level upgrade over the original. Team took a solid foundation and built an incredible game out of it.

When work follows you home

I feel like Jared Leto as an all-star talent/charismatic force is a concept that Hollywood has been trying to gaslight me with since 2005.

Going through Gravity’s Rainbow again right now then I’ll make the new one my holiday read!

Had a Capt. Speirs moment in a Conquest match this morning where I took one point solo, ran across half the map miraculously dodging gunfire and tank shells, to take another point on my own. Shit’s awesome.

The sleep debt is deep y’all. It must be paid.

“You just helped launch a massive game. What are your plans for the weekend?”

Won't get my hopes up until it exists but...it'd be really nice to see the MG Wolfenstein saga get wrapped up. It's been nearly a decade since Wolf II (I know).

Javy Gwaltney @jgwalt.bsky.social · 2d

I’m also hyped to dive in and kick ass as Support this weekend. Heals and revives for everybody.

Javy Gwaltney @jgwalt.bsky.social · 2d

If you’re one of the folks playing Battlefield 6 today, thanks so much for diving in. I think the team made something really special and I’m excited to see so many people eager to play. www.ign.com/articles/bat...

I love the atmosphere of that game in particular so much. Very WW1 but sci-fi. Wish we could get a rerelease

Javy Gwaltney @jgwalt.bsky.social · 2d

I hope that’s exactly what you find when you boot up the game. Have fun, remember to play the objective, and hopefully I’ll see you out there :)

I look at the title screen for Battlefield 6 and see a cross-country move, countless hours of working alongside many of the most talented people I’ve ever met, and a multi-year collaborative journey to meet our players where they’re at and deliver an experience you can’t get anywhere else.

Battlefield 6 launches today. It’s the most ambitious project I’ve ever worked on and the one I’ve contributed most to in my career. Tremendously proud to be a tiny part of the global team that delivered this game.

Shadow Evil Death Land is prime real estate tho. You can build some good-ass condos and pickleball courts on that kinda land.

Reviews (scored and work-in-progress) are rolling out today for Battlefield 6. Deep thanks to reviewers for spending time with the game this past week and covering it. As a former journo, I know this season is challenging when it comes to time as a resource. screenrant.com/battlefield-...

Didn't realize Pynchon had a new book out. Guess I know what I'm reading on my upcoming PTO.
