Just came here to bitch about Ubisoft. Bought a key from Amazon for AC: Valhallla. It's region locked. No mention during purchase time, but it's half the usual discounted price. Contacted Ubisoft and it's been 10 days no reply. I know it's the holiday's but 10 DAYS?

I finally bought a modern graphics card. I was able to get hold of a factory refurbished RX6800XT at a very reasonable price. I’ve only had a brief play but it looks wonderful driving my LG 1440p monitor.

I’ll order a new CPU (Ryzen 5600) next week to replace my aging 2600 and I’ll have a very cool 1440p gaming rig. Time to play some modern games :)

Good and interesting news for those who, like me, enjoy Hitman 3 on PS5 - 2016 Hitman and 2018 Hitman 2 are coming into Hitman 3 for free:

Ordered PGA Tour 2K23 from Mightyape over the boxing day sale. Must say for any golf sim players here its miles better than 2K21. Much more realistic in green approach and actual shot performance.

Grabbed WWE 2k22 for Xbox before Xmas, enjoy a bit of mindless button bashing :) Fun with 2+ players as well.

 

On PC, gone back to Deep Rock Galactic with mates, such a cool game :)

I started the Dead Space remake yesterday and it's excellent. I never played the original but always wanted to. Parts of it are so detailed it's like you're inside an episode of The Expanse or something. Love it

I'm quite excited for 2023 and PC gaming. Hogwarts Legacy coming in about 3 weeks. In March we have Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and (finally) The Last of Us Pt1 coming to PC! Skull and Bones from Ubisoft (just finished play testing that over the long weekend) at some stage, and further down the line there'll be at least one new Assassin's Creed game too. So all in all, should be a good year!

 

Now just waiting on Alienware's new M18 for the perfect combo.

The PSVR2 launches 3 weeks from today. Starting to get a little excited now. I'll likely delve back into GT7 in VR as my first outing but also looking forward to Horizon, Call of the Mountain will high on my list.

@gehenna what platform are you playing on? I gave up on PC gaming years ago because was just too expensive to keep up with the specs?

@gehenna I think it was you who mentioned you really like Control. I got Ultimate version with GamePass and I am enjoying the game mechanics quite a lot, but struggling to follow the story, though I haven't really been paying attention to the collectables etc. Do I need to read all that for stuff to make sense or will it start making sense if I just keep following through the story? I am about 3 hours in I guess. Just got my L2 security clearance from the Janitor. 

 

 

 

On an unrelated note, despite not being a Harry Potter fan, I pre-ordered the Harry Potter game as it seems to be getting favourable reviews. Hopefully, I don't need to have much background knowledge as I have read only 1 of the books.

Control is one of the only games where I read everything I picked up. The lore is very rich and does add a lot to the experience for me. You're playing a game that is deliberately obtuse, so you need to make use of everything to get something out of it.

Recently-released Hogwarts Legacy sounds brilliant. I’ll look forward to this.

Playing it now. Haven't formed an opinion yet as there is SO much talking near the start.
