For AC I think Origins is brilliant, just love the Egyptian setting, combat and movement is great and it looks stunning.

Been getting a lot of Mk 1 vids for some reason on youtube so a couple of weeks ago re installed MK XL and Ultimate MK11. Forgot how good they are, reckon combat is better in XL but MK11 is just so addicting with Towers of Time, Krypt and rewards in gear, costumes power ups etc.

Think I'm going to take the dive and grab MK1. With the last two I waited until all DC content had been released so I bought the games with all characters, both only set me back $40 combined.

Been on a bit of a Resident Evil binge in recent times

Have run through

Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil Classic/HD

Resident Evil 2 Remake
Resident Evil 3 Remake (actually finished it 3 times and am aiming for a 4th run through).

I'm yet to buy RE 4 Remake.... I might in the future but it doesn't interest me enough as yet (even with the recent sale where it was $27-29 on various platforms).

I do plan on buying the RE 1-2-3 classic trilogy on GOG and giving them a run through at some point in time.

Hsven't played RE 5 for a few years, I'm due a replay of that soon too I guess.

MK chatter (spoiler boxed as I've mentioned it 9342704093742904 times and I'm sure nobody wants to read it again lol)

Spoiler

I was a bit muddled with MK - (repeating myself again I know lol). I was all in on the reboot (MK 9 aka MK), when it was refused classification I still ran the gauntlet and imported it (twice lol). It passed through customs without issue both times.... that said just as I imported another copy.......... the whole R18+ rating came in our country and the "Komplete Collection" was released regardless. Which suited me fine - I celebrated that by buying the pc version locally

MK X - purchased it on pc at launch, was gung ho about it in addition to buying the first DLC fighter pack. Then a bunch of random events happened and I ended up not playing it for a while (stopping gaming on pc essentially). Picked up the pace again later on buying MK XL on Xbox One (even though I had "over-paid" for the base game + kombat pack 1. I got MK XL on the cheap digitally when it was still being sold for $89+ at JB Hifi/EB etc). However another key reason why I didn't play it THAT often was there was something in the graphic palette that put me off, not quite motion sickness but not far off (particularly with the way the fatalities were animated)

As I mentioned many times (usually whenever MK gets brought up in these topics lol) - I didn't get MK 11 at launch.... I did want to play it, but I wasn't desperate to. I ended up buying it a year after release just before Aftermath and the Ultimate edition came out. Managed to buy and keep it under the origianal RRP.

MK 11 is super addictive, I still play it today (and I collected it on pc, playstation and completed the holy trinity a few months ago getting the base game + ultimate add-on on the Nintendo Switch ).

Towers of Time is addictive, came back to it a few weeks ago after a self imposed break. But I regularly place in the top 10 leaderboards on the systems that I play it on. For example last week I was 4th-6th on the weekly Xbox leaderboard.... and I was 5th on Playstation but dropped out to 20th by the time the leaderboards reset for the following week. I haven't played it as often recently as the rewards are starting to recycle and no point going balls out to win rewards I already have!!

Now because of my love of MK 11, I was HYPED for MK 1. Too hyped in fact, I pre-ordered the deluxe edition (early release of the kombat dlc characters etc)..........................The story was ok (not as epic as I had hoped).... but the lack of a towers of time style mode was a buzz kill as well. I ended up shelving the game weeks after finishing the story. I returned to it briefly with every rleease of the latest DLC fighter + kameo........... but didn't last long.

I came back to it again recently when the new DLC story pack was released (didn't buy the DLC, but I returned to the game as "towers of time" was re-launched for MK 1.... but it's not exactly the same as it is on MK 11... so I didn't play it for long and resumed gaming in MK 11).

I felt like MK 1 was to MK 11 as what SF V was to SF IV (not as good in other words lol).

I think Origins is underrated. Probably the most complete without being overly convoluted out of all AC games.

And that Shadya scene is one of the biggest gut punches I've felt in a game!

I’d have Origins > Odyssey, but Valhalla was the best one for me, loved the setting and love Viking lore.

The new AC will unfortunately be compared to GoT which was incredible and can’t see it being as good as that, especially on the combat side of it where GoT has arguably the best combat I’ve experienced in a game.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Haven't played Origins but loved Odyssey and Valhalla. Will get there one day

 

[CarnTheScray]

Also playing The Last of Us 2 again. Ripper game.

Excuse the blank I am drawing, but GoT?

Ghost of Tsushima

My mind did go there for a moment but I thought I’ll ask just to be safe.

But yeah, GoT was amazing. Can’t wait for Yotel.

Albeit I spent all yesterday in the face off moshpit as the launcher challenges are bugged making them easier for the time being, I did play normally over the weekend and do wonder if we have the same maps in mind?

Which would you pick? I can’t stand Babylon.

I didn’t like Derelict to start with but it’s okay now, the spawns just suck.

The size of Origins is my preference

I really loved it and Odyssey but Odyssey was a lot of work

I didn't even get out of the first adult mission in Valhalla just did not hook me at all

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Started FF7 Rebirth after sitting on it for a while. Just like the first it's a phenomenal game - but man, the movement annoys me to no end. Either give me full control or improve your obstacle recognition so I don't have to run into invisible walls before your game realises I should vault it. Running on uneven ground is ****ing nightmare fuel.

Dungeons of Hinterberg

Really enjoying it, it's pretty casual nice vibe cell drawn animation style

Pretty chill dungeon crawler

I don’t play many of them but got into Valhalla for a bit. Can’t remember how many hours I put it but I thought I was progressing well and doing a bit of side stuff with some river raids. I hit a part where they unlocked a whole extra section of river raids with a seperate currency and it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I felt like a was playing a mobile game all of a sudden.
