Finally starting to reinstall Ubi stuff. Basically all of Assassin's Creed except Black Flag or Valhalla onwards.
Also a bit of Sniper Elite 5.
I'm also playing Hunter COTW on a fresh account just enough to level up for new map on Tuesday.
All in all a pretty game heavy weekend with no stress.

Exactly. It's not the first time I've been getting 100% from a same game on multiple platforms. :D

I had some money on a card I had to spend so I bought Balatro and it's about as good and "addictive" as people say it is. It's something for lazy evenings.

It's a definite GoTY 2024 for me even though I'm not finished yet. The story, graphics it just GoTY material. Visually it gets the things right especially on floor, as some games like to make things reflective like as much as possible (I watching you CP2077). Playing this on HDD is totally possible, loading time takes a while (about 20 seconds) but when it loaded it runs buttery smooth with no weird frametime (you can see from screenshot below)

I got sound popping/clipping problem at first with my SoundBlaster Z but changing few settings in-game sorted it. I just a bit disappointed there isn't any new advanced audio like EAX to compliment the great visual. I haven't heard great audio in game ever since Doom3 (EAX4) or BF2 (EAX5.0).

GoT is pure beauty, is amazing how they managed to do such of simple graphics and at the same time so nice, beautiful and refreshing.
Enjoying the game atm.

After playing this game I always feel cleansed, like the blood of fallen enemies washing me clean or something. Very zen like experience

Ghost of Tsushima returned my smile back again playing videogames
Fighting mechanics, beautiful graphics, decent story and the views are amazing .
I wanted to have a Shinobi look but that kind of Date Masamune helmet... i cant take it off now :D
Once i finish , i wanna try a new run with Kurosawa cinematic style.

I went for the Ronin look (black robe, WAY oversized black straw hat) until I hit chapter 3 and then donned an all white armor with all bells and whistles :) immersion 10/10

I watched the trailer and game looks interesting and graphic wise really nice. I will put it in my wishlist, got a few to beat atm. GoT and DD2 are first. I hope i can finish both without rushing before MHWild hits.

Finally starting to reinstall Ubi stuff. Basically all of Assassin's Creed except Black Flag or Valhalla onwards.
Also a bit of Sniper Elite 5.
I'm also playing Hunter COTW on a fresh account just enough to level up for new map on Tuesday.
All in all a pretty game heavy weekend with no stress.

After what ive seen that Ubisoft is doing im not buying a single game from them anymore, it wont matter the price. Even said that I think that Valhalla was their last good AC game.
I didnt buy it cuz i decided not to support their bs. I hope you enjoy it.
I need to return to Australia to continue hunting salt water crocs :D

I bought Anno 2070 on launch (2011), but because I upgraded my gpu often back then, I met the 3 limit within 6 months, to this day I still can't play my fully paid for copy of Anno 2070.

Fuck Ubisoft.

This from Ubi is downright scummy. I've had similar issues with Mirror's Edge through Origin after many reinstalls and parts swapped, but one support ticket and everything's solved. Can't badmouth EA on their support for these scenarios.

Check what they have done to people who bought Avatar- Frontiers of Pandora base game. At this point i have the same thoughts to this matter as i have to people who do business
with the dictator government from my country of origin, Cuba.
Anyone who does business with them deserve to be robbed.
Even thought is completely different scenarios, please don't take it personal.

Back to main topic, gaming.

I'll politely abstain from unworthy topics by leaving off at saying the last AC game I purchased was before they removed The Crew from my library.

PSA: AC Origins is unplayable on 24H2. Pressure exerted on Ubi appears to have a fix under way.

I need to return to Australia to continue hunting salt water crocs :D

You should be touching up your small game skills for the new map devoted to them. New dog is pretty exciting as well.

@lexluthermiester it's kind of amazing this new gog preservation program, this game is a part of that program and it now natively supports Dualsense among many other controllers. these simple quality of life improvements gog is doing on gog preservation games is 10/10 imo, sometimes you don't need hardcore updates, just little helpful updates you know

Hunter COTW new map released today. Slightly less than half the standard DLC size with two other standout features. Only small game and skeet/trap range that takes me right back to an entire restaurant full of people playing NES Duck Hunt on a projector screen the size of my current television.

So, I'm finally done with Crysis 3 and now I know why it was such an underwhelming title back in a day. Very shallow game with lots of in-game stuff half-baked or unfinished. Empty locations, no incentives for exploration, and of course bugs and glitches are still there. Also requires EA launcher and at every launch it nags about reqiring "Administrative privileges" just to launch the damn thing, which is very-very concerning.

Now I'm test-driving my new ultrawide monitor on Amnesia: Rebirth - another title I totally forgot about, even though I'm a big fan of Frictional Games and own almost every single of their games, except for Amnesia series. Didn't like the first one as much as I did Penumbra, but Rebirth is pretty cool. Good story(though about as predictable as a Mexican tele-novella), nice graphics, and most importantly - decently long campaign comparing to their older games. You can still speedrun it under 2 hours(which it has an achievement for), but the very first playthrough with exploration and puzzles took me about 10 or so hours.
Now I'm definitely adding Bunker to my wishlist for Christmas.

So, I'm finally done with Crysis 3 and now I know why it was such an underwhelming title back in a day. Very shallow game with lots of in-game stuff half-baked or unfinished. Empty locations, no incentives for exploration, and of course bugs and glitches are still there. Also requires EA launcher and at every launch it nags about reqiring "Administrative privileges" just to launch the damn thing, which is very-very concerning.

I never played the third one, but wasn't Crysis 2 a pretty standard on-rails kind of shooter, but with some gimmicks? Crysis remains a Great Game, probably, but the sequels never lived up to the first one.

I played Crysis 2 back when it came out, and while it was a much more dumbed-down in terms of world and gameplay, it was still "finished". The third one is massive in comparison, but it's empty and linear just like its predecessor. You are only branching out for some monotonous side-missions which don't change anything and rarely give you anything worthy. Also some things are half-baked (like the aerial fight, the entire driving mechanics, boss fights etc etc etc), and some things are only used once in an entire game, even though the mechanics allows for more "non-boring" encounters. It's interesting for the first 20-30 minutes, but gets stale really quick.... and I'm not talking "by modern standards", cause there were much better and fun games back in 2013 and before that.

"A 7-ear-old child named Yuzuki is calling from nearby. She says she poisonad and underground insect colony, but now she is soaked in insect pheromones and the bugs are hunting her! She begs for safety and offers to join you at Baker's Town [my town]. If you accept, an infestation of 2 hives will begin in 1.2 days."

Man I love Rimworld.
