Should've gone with Wyatt Russell.
Now that I've played it for a little while I'd like to change my answer. My biggest problem so far has been hitting. For some reason I'm terrible at it. In the old game I was decent at it. So I don't know if they've changed something or if I'm just getting older and worse at playing video games or what the deal is.Quote:

I've watched Youtube videos, played with the settings, changed the in-game mechanics, anything I can think of. It's not like the players I'm using are scrubs either. Hopefully I'll figure it out but so far that has been the worst part of it.
Still having fun with it though. I've noticed that playing Diamond Dynasty they are giving out player packs like it's water. In the old game it was like finding buried treasure getting packs. Now I seem to be getting multiple packs every single time I play.
I'm a little lukewarm on Mass Effect since the last game was mediocre. I'll still keep an eye on it though, the OG Trilogy is one of gaming's all time greats.
Also, congratulations to The Last of Us II for winning Game of the Year! Playstation stays winning :D
Well deserved! The game is an astounding achievement.Quote:

Do you guys think I should send in for a refund, or wait for them to patch it? I'm seriously torn rn.
I'll just wait a year and buy the complete and fixed edition like I usually do with big games. Not sure if my PC can even run it well, and I'm not planning on buying a new PC soon.
Taking a small break from Valhalla (just passed 140hrs) to play Control a little bit. Wow, this game is special. It's a perfect mix of indy and blockbuster. Amazing art direction and atmosphere. Just fantastic so far.
Sony Removes Cyberpunk 2077 From PlayStation Store After Complaints
"The company said it would also offer refunds to gamers while the developer of the much-hyped title works to fix bugs and glitches."
I’ve been playing Cyberpunk 2077 on the One X until I can find the new Xbox and haven’t really come across many glitches. The main one seems to be sometimes when I’m driving the game will crash out to the Xbox home screen. More of an annoyance than anything else.
I'm going to wait until Feb til CDPR presumably releases the patches that will fix most of the game breaking bugs. I don't expect them to release a patch that will fix everything, but hopefully anything that can crash the game. It'll ruin my experience otherwise. I lived through Skyrim PS3, I can live with a few framerate drops.
I have plenty to hold me over until then.
Im getting near the end of Rise of the Tomb Raider. It's about on par with the reboot. While this one has a bigger world and often better gameplay, and an obvious next gen graphics update, I'm a little disappointed. The action was a lot more tense in the original game and I prefer that kind of combat. Im sure I'll get more of that when I play on Survival. A solid game but was hoping for a little more from how people talked it up.
I enjoyed it but the reboots are all the same game. Lara magically forgets every skill she's ever learned and you have to relearn everything at the start of each game. I found it annoying.Quote:

Three I believe off the top of my head.Quote:

I can't speak for Shadow of the Tomb Raider on that front. But also every game series has that issue since the sequels need progression too. Im actually Curious on how the FF7 remake is going to handle that entry to entry.
I haven't played the FF7 remake yet, but my son tells me you can only get to Level 50 in the first installment? That would suck to have to restart that after each installment is released.Quote:

Starting your skills over in new installments is a staple of games. The only game I can remember that addressed it in an organic, story driven way was the God of War series - the Gods would strip you of your powers for transgressions. Otherwise it's pretty much expected that you'll have to relearn stuff.
After I finish Platinuming AC Valhalla and Control, I'm going to look for a palette cleanser. A smaller, more manageable game. I'll probably make it Disco Elysium, all the GOTY nominations pushed me over the fence.
I think Disco Elysium is one of the best games of the decade!
I'm having some retro fun with Perfect Dark. Also finally playing Alien Isolation.
Got the Platinum for Control. Yay! I bought the 2 DLC expansions cause I enjoyed the game so much. Gonna complete those and trophy hunt all day today.
I'm a little hesitant to go back to Valhalla rn because there are so many stupid game breaking bugs floating around. Ubisoft released a patch a week or so ago and it still hasn't fixed a lot of them. Maybe I'll wait for them to fix the majority of them before going back to it. We'll see.
Also, I see the PSN store has a bunch of new EOY specials. So many games calling my name: RE3, Star Wars, Doom, Disco, Ghost of Tsushima, FF7 Remake...
So many games, so little time. :smile:
Needing to snag a few of those myself.Quote:

RE3 is one I have to pick up as well. I have to finish RE2, come to think of it...I died during the first boss fight back in like April and never turned it back on lol. I guess I wasn't all that into it, which is weird after like 2 decades of wanting a RE2 remake. Maybe I'll play RE7 first.
