Event Log: 5/31/14 - PS Flashback

I finished off the Tenchu LP. It's a shame Troppus stopped making videos. I quite enjoyed his commentary. I looked up other LP's for the sequels but they don't hold a candle to his style. Watching it gave me a lot of backseat game design ideas. In a world with perfect AI, man... I would make the meanest stealth game ever. I'd imagine the reason why AI hasn't advanced beyond what we've already see in MGS2 is because there's no profit in it. Call of Duty shows you only need dummies in the campaign with lots of flash to make bucket loads of cash. What a shame.

I devoted a lot of time to shining up my latest update of Love Sick. I think it came out alright. I feel like the KH FF community is on Sudoku watch. No new games (aside from 2.5) and interest is dying. The lack of quality is catching up to output and there's a sense of fatigue I can't shake off. Maybe it's just me. I'm trying my best but the fish ain't biting. I'm swimming with the skeletons, man.

Trying to get DS4Tool to work was the dumbest thing I've had to do in the longest time. (Very long string of expletives). Finally got it to work. Had to re-install DirectX. That was an amazing pain in the ass. I checked my Visual Runtime, the Microsoft .NET framework, and 360 controller driver installation, and restarted my laptop twice before I finally found the solution online.

I wanted to use my PS4 controller with the PSX emulator. Watching someone play Tenchu and playing it for myself are two completely different experiences. The draw distance is killer. I'm constantly spotted by invisible guards and the camera system is really bad. I'm not sure I want to play it all the way through.
