member to check the compatibility options under each game to see if you can FPS boost it and stuff.

Finally went back to Assassins Creed Valhalla to play the 2 DLCs to scratch my yearly AC itch. Already finished the Ireland/Druid DLC. It was ok but nothing wild/cool like Origins and Odyssey outside of a couple things, particularly the optional "secret boss" fight. Have jumped into the Paris content now and it seems very meh, kinda lame compared even to the Druid content. It's just standard AC fare, which normally isn't bad to me but this is on the low end of the pecking order tbh. It's neat seeing Paris way earlier than it's other iteration in the series, but that also makes it small and thus not as engaging as the typical city AC games of old. Still having a decent time, but just feels like I've been here and done this before and it was better the first time around.
In all honesty this is the weakest AC DLC offering in a long time. But I'm just playing it to pass the time until Thursday when I will be shifting my focus to Far Cry 6. |

For what it's worth I feel as though a lot of my lack of enthusiasm for the current content is due to the weapon combination I'm using. Combining the Gungnir spear from the main Valhalla campaign with the Gae Bolg spear acquired from beating the secret boss in Ireland basically enables God mode. It doesn't matter what I fight or how strong it is, how overwhelmed by numbers I am or anything; equip those 2 spears and spam attack and nothing can ever stop you. I fought the last boss of the Ireland campaign with them and said boss couldn't even move, let alone attack me. It's cheap. I should probably have switched off of the set up but it's just so cool to look at. I dunno, def sapped the fun but also making it easy to blaze through the story and get it over with.

Edit: If you are ever looking for a time sink though, Valhalla is a winner. I think the main game and the couple free dlcs that dropped after release ate up 120-130hrs for me to do my usual completionist run. |

Wow I really need Far Cry 6 to get here now....it has a fully fleshed out Tekken style fighting game in it as one of the minigames....and it's cockfighting. You pick your bird from like a roster of 30 different chickens and then get down to fighting. Amazing.

Recently really upped my game in BF V. I'm no god or anything by any means, but my KD has stayed at a better spot. I always PTFO, but still get merced left and right at times. I've slowed down, A LOT, which seems to be very key. Gotta shake those years of CoD outta mah veins.

Dipped back into Nier: Automata. Never finished it for a few reasons, couldn't remember shit so I started over.
Left off at the top of the castle in the Forest area. I'm reeeeeeeeally looking forward to what music comes next. The music in this game is absolutely incredible. Like, hearing the music in the castle, when it turned to side-scrolling and I'm just slashing through robot after robot made it feel epic. The Amusement Park song, it's just great. I can already tell I will want to get Replicant. |

Both Nier games are absolutely amazing. They tell great stories.
Far Cry 6 was starting to get me a little worried. I was way outranking every area on the map and wasn't seeing any of those areas levelling up like was said. Well I finally hit a couple points that bumped up the threat level of all the areas. Still overlevelled for some of the easier areas but there are multiple places back in line with my current rank. Very glad that this checked out, was worried the game would get too easy as I can already see I will be max rank well ahead of the end due to my ocd making me complete everything in any given area before I move on. |

First ending done. Holy shit did that escalate quickly :O
Started the first replay and started off playing some lil robot.... so already a bit different. Good stuff. Staying away from media on it since I've not read on it before and the story is very interesting. Don't wanna spoil anything. It's just VERY fun and satisfying to play; the controls are so damn fluid. |

I'm about 65 % through Resident Evil 4. I love it but. I'm not too excited about dragging Ashley with me. But I've had a good time. I just killed the 2 claw guys which took me about 6 tries. I'm terrible at managing ammo. I would probably have more if I knew enough to shoot the legs and finish with my knife.
The controls are wonky as fuck and i'm playing on PS4, but it hasnt ruined my experience at all. P.S. I carried a missile launcher thinking I would come across ammo. I had no idea that it was a buy/ use, situation. I just realized that on my last save lol. I could have been blowing fuckers up this whole time. |

Of all the escort bullshit in video games, Ashley is probably the best executed. Thought I would hate it, but I really enjoyed how they utilized her.

I had heard people complaining about her and the escort stuff, but the " wait here/ follow me " ability was clearly built in to be utilized and i realized that after the 2nd El Gigante fight. If you know how to position her. It's not so much an issue. I think early in the game, after I found her, I put her in the top of a tower and then went back down and killed a bunch of dudes and she was screaming " LEON! LEON??? " . LOL She's a variable in which the game gives you a mechanic to manage her. I actually love it. It's a pain, but I love it. And she's needed in some rooms and puzzles. I guess i was shocked to see the hatred for her when i watched some review videos. |

I think most of the hate comes from her personality, as she's not very likeable. Acts like a whiney bitch towards a guy who is literally saving her from an apocalyptic nightmare.

Only thing that can be remastered is the controls but honestly, the controls kinda add interest into the game. It makes me rethink my strats a bit.
I saw they made this into a VR game and it looked great, but i dont have much interest in VR. |

I'd be okay with a remaster, but a full on remake would be redundant, as the game isn't that dated as it is.

This is going to be me. The way the story has shifted already, with the inclusion of a couple "gold" bots running around talking about how I killed their brother..... yeah, I'm hooked. Accidentally got an ending by going the wrong way with 9S. Said that he abandoned all curiosity about machines, abandoned a mission and was never heard from again xD That's what happened in my first 15 mins on my first new game +. |

Playing Back 4 Blood with Heisenberg and friends. It's Left 4 Dead with some added mechanics like character specific bonuses, perk cards, and a loot system. It's a fun time.

That finished downloading this morning, going in blind outside of the shit that's been force fed from Gamepass feeds.
Haven't played Left 4 Dead either. Just saw zombies and pew pews and rpg stuff and figured it'd be a fun time killer |

FYI, just like Left 4 Dead, it gets repetitive pretty quick when playing solo. It's best played with friends.

Finished up Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Excellent game. Don't let the animation or gameplay fool you. IT'S NOT FOR KIDS! Swing back around another time since I hear master spirit guide mode is the equivalent to Hell Mode in some video games.
Moving on to Diablo 2. Let's see how this goes. If it doesn't hook me, Lost Judgement is next up. |

Metroid Dread. I get super into it and then I get lost and spend an hour trying to figure out where to go. Kills the vibe.

The mazes are simple. Its the 20 minutes looking at the map trying to figure out where you use your new ability to continue playing the game. I also may be really bad at navigating the map.
It balances out. Dread is an amazing game. Its a minor irk in a game I love playing. |

Just started the 3rd playthrough of Nier and oh my fooking gerd...... just when I thought the story couldn't be better, they fucking do it!
Even more so that the 3rd playthrough starts AFTER the Eve fight where you play as 9S. I got all the extra documents from the factory and the Commander gave me the confidential info about the YorHa project and the Council of Humanity, fook me! If the actual truth comes to be what I think is being implied, this may be one of my favorite games of all time, if not my new #1. |

It really is excellent isn't it?
Do you have the edition with the DLC? The final ending is locked behind that content just so you know and you will prob have to grind a bit towards the end to tackle a couple of the challenges presented. Worth it though. |

All this is reminding me that I really hope they release a third game in the Nier Universe, and no not the mobile game because that doesn't count.

I assume so. It is called "Become As Gods Edition".
Right now, I just learned that there's a virus from somewhere that infected all the remaining yorha units, commander included. I had to save and get back to work, but I left off as 2B with a system corruption meter building, and no fucking idea where to go, but I'll find out. Just when I think the game is ending. it keeps on going! Excited for post-work gaming time. |
