Did you keep track of those as you played, or does the game have a system that lets you know which ones you got or missed? (Thinking about that kind of thing a lot as I play Vice City, haha. I have made sure to keep track of every jump I register, package I find, etc.)



Played recently: GTA Vice City

Finished: nothing

Added to backlog: nothing

I injured my Achilles tendon last weekend (thankfully not ruptured, but doc says it will take 2 months to get better), so I haven't been able to do much but sit and rest... which meant a whole lot of Vice City this week and over the holiday weekend. I think I'm at 56% now and moving right along. Got my mansion, blew up the Haitians, took Love Fist to the show. :lol: Actually taking a break from main missions now to work on collectibles, asset missions, etc. Such a fun game, man. I'm sure GTA VI will be amazing, but I doubt it will be able to capture the magic of Vice City.

Games added: Nothing

Last week: Finished Crimson Desert.

This week: I have no idea. Something short. :lol:

Credits have rolled, a little over 360 hours on the clock. I honestly didn't play a lot of anything this past week, I think I'm going through detox. Was sitting at the final boss basically all week. :P

I did play a certain game on Saturday, as tradition would hold, but that will go on next week's report. ;)

Hope everyone had a good 4th / 250th!
