Yep, that's the one. I thought that start was good and a little bit creepy. Or a lot creepy. The first time you get kidnapped, it's sort of okay because your character wasn't expecting it. But after that, it becomes just stupid. I'm walking around dominating enemy camps and they can't stop...

I picked up Far Cry 5 for almost free this weekend. I liked 4, 6, and New Dawn. Didn't play any of the earlier ones. I couldn't remember why I hadn't played 5. Started playing it, really enjoyed it, and then got kidnapped with no way to avoid it. Then I remembered that I had played it...

The Covenant's association with synths is -- complex.

No. No way. I don't even want them to list it on the board of possible things they might do if they have extra time. Every minute spent on designing and implementing a multiplayer component is a minute not being spent on making the single player game better and more polished.

After a couple of hundred hours, and counting, in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, I caught myself subconsciously muttering in my best Indiana Jones voice (which isn't a very good Indiana Jones voice), "Snakes. Why does it have to be snakes." Most of the tombs have so many snakes, that there aren't...

After your comments about episode 7, I watched it. I agree that it was good. I watched episode 8 tonight to see how they built on episode 7. Not sure which issue annoys me the worst: that episode 8 was back to all build-up and no pay off ( for a season finale ??!! ), or that it ended with...

Stormtrooper armor isn't what it used to be long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away. Either that, or Kay Vess punches so hard that she'd make Mike Tyson beg for mercy.

Yeah, the latest set of previews were published yesterday. Apart from the graphics, the gameplay sounds a lot better than we saw in the preview. I'm discounting the couple that compared it to Red Dead Redemption as being media promotion rubbish, and the couple that didn't like it because it...

Despite being confirmed dead, it looks like Dexter is getting "resurrected". The attempt at a sequel a couple of years ago just didn't recapture the magic of the original. The sequel tried to be all about Dexter, whereas in the original series, Dexter was sort of a blank wall for the other...

Yes. Now that's something that would get me to watch season 3. The dragons have had quite enough, and have decided to rewrite history.

I enjoyed the first season, but I quit watching season 2 after about episode 3 or 4. They completely lost the plot, so to speak. No story advancement, random weird scenes that seem to serve no purpose except to fill the gap left by poor writing, best written and best acted characters from...

Makes me think of the much underrated L.A. Noire. I'm currently playing Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. Picked it up on a heavy discount. The first couple of hours were such a mess that I almost stopped playing. After a few hours, it becomes pretty fun. I don't know why some developers...

At a meta level, this is probably what bothers me most about what we've seen. I don't really know what Ubi is trying to sell us, and the entirety of their marketing strategy seems to be "Hey, it's Star Wars !". But what is it? Is it a grand cinematic experience set in an open world, but with...

The graphics definitely could be crisper, but as you suggested, it's probably an artifact of how the video was created. Graphics are way down on my list of concerns about the game. I think that they will be fine. I'm more concerned about what looks like a lot of linear gameplay in a...

No. I was not surprised (there was no mystery - we knew most of it in advance), was not befuddled, and am not bothered by it. Just my personal opinion, but if an NPC is going to be somewhat realistic, then the notion that I'm going to dictate their preferences on any dimension, creeps me out a...

Judy. Depending on the way the story plays out, she's about the only one with a happily ever after.

I agree with the comments about Rogue Trader being very good. However, since you've waited this long, you might give it a couple more months. The gameplay changes involving Owlcat's attempt to rebalance the extra turns are very extensive, and likely will need additional balancing themselves.

Found my first real irritation with the game. I hate the stupid Kalydonian boar. The boss boar itself is easy enough, but the smaller boars that it keeps summoning hit me from all sorts of different directions that I can't see coming. Finally managed to beat it, but it made me mad enough that...

It's been interesting playing the Valhalla and Odyssey Assassin's Creed games simultaneously (I play one for a while, then switch to the other). When I play Odyssey, I feel like I'm surrounded by warm sea air. When I play Valhalla, I feel cold. I say that as a compliment to the environments...

Yakuza - Like a Dragon; Assassin's Creed Odyssey; Assassin's Creed Valhalla. I'm using a two week Gamepass trial to test out a bunch of games that never appealed to me enough to purchase them. So far, these three have been really good. If I don't keep the Gamepass subscription, I'll probably...
