Forbidden West looks incredible, and early previews are positive. I hope it's as nice to play as it looks and man I wish it was out this weekend!

 

Need to find a killer single player game to play when I have my week off next week. 

 

I was going to take my xbox, but may take the remastered spiderman and new spiderman....

Far Cry 3, brought while it was on special in Steam. It's a 10 year old game and feels like it.  Ah well, my R9 270X that I'm running it on was only released a year later I believe

 

I finished Mad Max ages ago and the similarities are amusing





You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

Yep. I have it on pre-order too.

Finished the legacy of thieves uncharted 4 remasters yesterday. So great. Still excellent AAA games, but even better in 60fps.

Got Dying Light 2 for PS5 but might get it for PC instead, it's only 30fps with ray tracing on console. And 60fps is only 1080p. Wish they'd done something like Performance RT mode on the Spidey games.

Yeah I have a PS5 and PC and vastly prefer PC. It feels like the definitive edition, given that you have good enough specs.

AC Valhalla: -10/10

 

 

 

Without doubt the dumbest, stupidest game I have ever played. Am 98% through and the share volume of crashes I have had (PC) is incredible. I would be into the 100s the amount of times this game has sh$t itself.

 

 

 

The actual game itself, interesting enough story, but it's slow plodding nature and absolutely mind numbingly dull little side bits "Oh, you've saved the King? Why not go hunting with him for an extra 20 minutes of story time" or "Ride here for 20 mintues to give some unspiring news that adds nothing" not to mention the trip with Sigurd into the temple back in Norway and not being able to run for half of it, the ridiculous fight with Odin that served no purpose and made zero sense. Ridiculous game and if I hadn't actually spent money on it I would have dumped it hours ago. So bad, I am actually angry at myself for playing it. Combat? Horrendous, why did they move away from Brootherhood fighting mechanics that actually made you feel like an Assassin. And how, after nearly 20 years, is riding a horse still an absolute video game disgrace. Low fence? Stop your motion completely and then awkwardly jump over it. A game that considers itself the father of parkour video games and is probably the worst at it, can't jump off a fence, can't move across a ledge, can't move around objects, the slow time stealing mechanics of trying to go up a wall you can't and then thumping stupidly into the ground and taking an age to move again. How does a game released nearly 15 years ago (inFAMOUS), still absolutely destroy the traversing mecahnics of this franchise.

 

 

 

Horrible, horrible game.

 

This comes from someone that loved Origins and thoroughly enjoyed Odyssey. How was this game so well reviewed by all the major outlets? Disaster

Diablo 2 resurrected

 

Playing it off line with players 8 man it is a great game.  No worries about servers.  Hard enough to be difficult but still with great drops.

I'm confused. Why is this a 10/10 rating?

note the "-" in front of the first 10.

Misinterpreted it as a adjoining dash rather than a minus :)

 

Makes more sense now, though I can't imagine playing dozens of hours of a game I rated so poorly :)

Have to justify the purchase. If I hadn’t spent $90 on it I wouldn’t be bothering.

Just saw this - AC-type game focussing on stealth. I would be interested in that.

Just saw this review on CNet - the first I have seen. Sounds very good 😀

I'll agree that Valhalla has no rights to call itself Assassin's Creed.

That aspect of it was just a thin veneer for marketing.

The reviews for Forbidden West look amazing. Watching them has me so excited for the combat again.

 

Story doesn't really mean much to me, I honestly don't think I could tell you coherently the plot of HZD despite playing it and the expansions :)
