Event Horizon (Sci Fi)
God of War (Greek Methodology)

All great games but i am thinking to myself these are basically all the same game. Maps, leveling up, fight mechanism, etc...

I guarantee Sony is like we use this core game platform and just tweak it with different themes.

You could almost throw Uncharted in the mix too.

Anywho they are great time wasters.

Days Gone seriously any good? Ive been burning time with Civ 6...love shit like this.

The Last of Us Part 2 is gonna be a baller

Days Gone is ok, if not for covid 19 i had given up on it. It has a very very slow start to it, building up weapons and such; kind of painful. I am chugging along in it now.

For a AAA title there are alot of lazy programming in it. There are tons of zombies but really only 3 types (looks wise). Consistently having awkward moments where i walk through a wall or mountain side, just weird shit. IDK, just being picky i guess.

I need to finish up Days Gone, then finish out Horizon Zero Dawn. I think after that i tackle RR 2.

though Matty made me feel guilty with his one post about doing you tube workouts and not movies/games all day. LOL!

So you already beat it once?

I tell you, I haven't played a game where the ending pissed me off more FC5.

I liked the ending actually...

I've always thought the stories in FC games were more of a backdrop for chaos and blowing shit up

I just wanted closure, you work your way to the end and then you don't even get to kill the leader? Lame.

I think it was a business decision by Ubisoft to get people to buy New Dawn.

I don't blame anyone for not liking the ending. The game gets a lot of unfair hate though just for the ending. Overall it's a blast.

oh hell yeah

That new trailer looks fantastic, buuuut I feel like AC has really fallen off in the last few installments. AC2 was the only game I ever got a Platinum trophy in in my life, and it's been downhill from there. The last AC I played religiously was Black Flag.

I'm excited for the new one, and I'll buy it for sure but I'm not falling for the hype anymore.

Speaking of Ubisoft products I just bought FC: New Dawn. Need something new to play.

I never really got into the AC series but as long as this one is legit I'll be getting it

Can you play a AC game in any order?

Yeah I would say so. There's a modern-day backstory to the games but I think they've basically gotten rid of it the last few installments because nobody was a fan of it. If you've never played I would say skip AC1, honestly that was super repetitive and boring to the point I wasn't planning on buying AC2, but AC2 was fantastic (and probably my fav. game in the series). Brotherhood/Revelations are ok but forgettable, 3 is ok, Black Flag is probably my 2nd favorite in the series, and everything after that is forgettable. If you were gonna pick any of the recent ones I'd say go for Syndicate. The setting is London towards the end of the Industrial Revolution.

Ok thanks! I am still slugging through Days Gone

Me and my 8 year old daughter are playing Minecraft together. A little annoying bc she insists I stay right by her side and if a bee gets near her, she gives a curling scream and will turn off her tablet.

A bee. A make believe video game bee. So instead of exploring and venturing out, we build homes and gardens and farms.
