OK. Valheim has a certain kind of magic to it.

I'm going to lose some time in this game I think. Nice. Survival, but not clunky as hell... and some neat little features too.

Such as discovering you really can use a chimney on your hut :D

I've been playing Bravely Default 2 this whole week, pretty entertaining so far, as long as you're willing to do a bit of grinding.

Finishing up the first Call of Juarez and I rate it as a ......meh. I will start Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge next. It's a Point and Click Adventure game from 1991. I doubt this makes sense to most gamers but I like the old games as well as the newer ones and the graphics don't bother me on the older games. Probably because the first gaming system I owned was the Atari 2600 console in 1980 and later on a Commodore 64 in 1985. We've come a long, long way since those days.

I only played Call of Juarez Gunslinger and that was a really fun 'non serious' game imo.

As for what I'm playing/doing:

After finishing Ryse Son of Rome I went back to Borderlands 3 to start a new char 'Zane' from scratch and this char wont be getting any twinking from my other chars/bank.
Also just passed 1+month playtime with the game since the relase, totally did not notice that.:oops:

New content/update was delayed till April 8 so at least this will keep me busy + waiting for the next D3 season that should start early April or so.

Also gonna try some new online ARPG next week when it launches, see if its any good for maybe as a side game to play.

Since I now have the complete TR set, I'm giving Angel of Darkness another go and although it has mouse control, it's actually out of control so I disabled it.
Either way, Lara isn't easy to control in this game and I'm wondering how much staying power I've got to stick with it. A noble effort either way, but screwed by 2003 deadlines apparently.

Assassin's Creed® Valhalla2021-3-21-21-2-6.jpg


I finished it.

I am a fool and my emotions get the better of me (as do we all). I played all AC games and each time it get's better and better. Yet when the new one gets announced, i'd be the first to say that it will probably such - just prove myself wrong over and over again.

I don't see competitive esports players here. Most of you constantly post about all sorts of games old & new, and you all play like me for the fun and story.
Above being said, do not miss out on Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

* Done with taste and carefully pasted together. You won't find a valley or a hilltop that looks the same and things to do are everywhere. Traveling the land is always rewarding.

* Open world done very right. In fact.... i can't remember a better one

* More history more than ever; from real-like places that either existed or still exist to side questing inspired by folklore - legends - or actual real history

* You get only the main quests. All other things on the side are activities. If you hear someone talking out loud, a little girl calling for her mother, 2 people crying next to a burning house, a drunk man angry screaming in the streets, everything that is out of the ordinary - that is a "side quest" and activity.

* Play it as you wish. You got 3 levels of difficulties. I started at easy and after about 30 hours maybe i changed it to medium.

* Skills for lazy players, or for normal people - that are not used to the old grinding that gamers from the 90's were customed to. The game does not punish you - you can rebuild your class an infinite amount of time. You can reallocate skills points as you wish always.
Remember when you had to start a new game just to try out a different build? That sht is gone!

* Story, story and story it doesn't stop. Just keeps giving.

* It can get repetitive and farming-like if you choose to. Nobody is forcing you to level up your settlement 100 times

* This isn't a looter-shooter. All gear is important. You will find little armor and weapons, everyone counts. And they're not easy to find.
Gone are the days when you killed a champion or boss and he dropped loot. Gear is very important in the game, those who find it cherish it!

* It looks good and it's very very well optimized. It will reward you visually so much. This game is beautiful! If you can play it on a TV with a controller. The farther you are from the screen the better.
I played it next to my monitor and i see too many graphical imperfections. I tried it on the TV and it was amazing looking ;)

* The main story takes itself more seriously, mainly cuz i guess it has much more history in it - for people like me that's a bonus.

Since I see AC games posted here quite often I have a general question regarding the games.

I did not play AC games except for AC Black Flag and even that I did not finish 'I will get to it one day..'.
Back in the days when the first game was new I did not really like it so I pretty much skipped all of the games after that.

Question is, does the games connect at any point like do I have to play them in a certain order or it doesn't really matter?
I have some of the older ones+Black Flag/Unity/Syndicate since those were free but sometimes I see Origins and Ody on sale and I was considering buying them.

I'm just wondering cause if I do decide to play most of the AC games then thats a lot of gametime, maybe by the time I get to Valhalla the GPU prices won't be as bad as now. :D
Not that I don't have enough backlog games already but adding AC to the list would definitely give me enough games to play this whole year.

the story is all over the place at this point, i would say most games are stand alone actually. as long as you know the core game from the first AC... the animus how it works, etc. watch a 5 min story recap on assassins creed 1, thats all you need to do really.

@Sithaer the prices are the problem...but not really. the prices are like this because there no gpu's. it will get much more worses for phones, TV's etc etc

It does not matter what order you play it in. You can play ANY AC games. All of them are connected. But they're in such way that you can play anything.
AC games are only connected to the out of Annymus story - 99% you are inside the Annymus, playing the life and events of that period of time/character - and they are all the same.

I will never go back. NEVER!
I lied before when I said that i played all AC games, i did not. Unity is the one i did not play. Everything else is a waste of time, the character movement, fighting, environment/ cities nature
The old way the quests were set up, go there-do this-come back. :( It's just bad gaming. The graphics look horrible. The mechanics are very old and thus very limited things what you can or more exactly what you can't do.

-----------------
Everything changed with Origins. I do not recommend Origins. I strongly do not recommend it.
Origins bring this new form of gaming/mechanics/graphics. Even so - Origins was preparation for Oddysey.

Oddysey is where I would start. Oddysey comes together very well. Graphics are what we call a good-looking games, fighting is done right and the story is very very good.

Valhalla is in a league of it's own. There is no picture (like I post) or YB videos that can convince you how good it looks. And it runs better, it really does because they dropped the texture resolution. - it does not matter, it really does not, cuz the colors are more real to life and they did wonders with the lighting.
The world is more alive. And finally, they dumped the "side quest" system and now it's all fluid. Walk-in this world and find things to do

  • Still. I really have to say that the story in Oddysey was much more emotional. It really was. If you are a romantic type, Odyssey is all about the feels. Ancient Greece was all about the first years of phylosofi, poetry and fine wine. The weather was warm, there is a tropical warm sun. everyone ios tanned and almost naked - you have so many quests that actually involve hooking people up or getting loved ones together -it's an era of a legend. Cuz there is not much int the real history that is from back then. So much and legend is all w have to go on.... Cassandra is a mercenary but a loving person non less.
  • Eivor is a vikingr. It will smash your head with an hammer/axe. They are here to survive and conquer. Not much romanticism...and everything is either very cold or weat...or cold and weat at the same time. Eivor's voice is exactly how a viking woman would have sounded like....seriously the voice acting is amazing!

Thanks for the replies!

Graphics are not much of an issue for me, at least I don't find the older AC games too bad on my eyes graphics wise. 'I did finish Witcher 1 not long ago after all and that was older'
Game mechanics is what I care more about and to be honest I'm more interested in picking up the serie where I left it.

So in short, got back and finish Black Flag cause that was pretty good and then pick up Unity/Syndicate and then the rest.
Origins I was interested in cause I do like the Egyptian theme same with the Greek theme in Ody.

The grindy/farming aspect of the games don't bother me as I grew up playing ARPGs and MMOs.:)

I had my eyes on the AC games for a while just wasn't sure if I can play them randomly but then I guess I can skip the first games if they aint neccesary.
I am somewhat familiar with the core and the anymus system so thats fine.

And yea I am a hopeless romantic actually, theres a reason why I keep replaying Mass Effect serie. :laugh:

if it becomes too grindy you can always do something like cheatengine to get infinite money or something. not sure, i don't have time for grinding like i did when i was younger. so when i get around to playing it i intend to use a couple cheats like that. not at first, but just when it starts to get too grindy. i enjoyed cheat codes as a kid, i remember using gameshark on playstation 1. good times. lol purists can stick their noses up at me all they want. gaming is fun and we all enjoy it different ways.

Nah I don't like to use such things, last time I used any type of cheat was back in the IDDQD/IDKFA DOOM days as a kid and the infinite time cheat in Carmageddon 2.
I don't want to max out everything in the game but farming just to be strong enough to do the given content in the game is all cool with me. 'like all of my chars in BL 3 can destroy end game content currently'
Atm I have a lot of time to play actually, this year looks to be just as bad as the previous one so I'm sticking with my home part time job which leaves me a lot of free time to do whatever.


But yea you are right as long as its a singleplayer game everyone is free to do whatever they want and find fun. :)

Anyway I don't want to derail the topic further so thanks again for the replies, I guess I will pick up the AC games to my liking somewhat later the year when I'm done with other games.

On a side note:
@Chloe Price
Did yo see the new LiS game trailer, that really surprised me cause I wasn't expecting it but at least +1 game to look forward to this year.
Nice cause theres barely anything new I'm interested in this year.

And yea I am a hopeless romantic actually, theres a reason why I keep replaying Mass Effect serie. :laugh:

Ashley Williams 4 da win, right?!
Next month the remake is coming. YES we will all play it. I feel like i em so hyped by this like I was for Cyberpunk.
Still, as the games are all 3 of them together will be as playing 1 single new AC title in hours-time speaking.

Yeah thats one game I'm looking forward to even tho I've already played the whole ME serie 2 times. 'Male and fem Shep playthrough'
I think it was around 100 hours when I last played it, the 3 games in total.

I'm more of a Liara person, but in the remaster I might give Ashley a chance. 'until I go for Tali that is.:D'

Mad Max does resonate with me since I am old enough to have seen the originals in theater. Absolutely ground breaking at the time. Dinki Di anyone?

The game is on sale for $4.99 over at GOG right now.

Finished Resident Evil Revelations finally. All I had to do was to kill the final boss, I was just stuck on that. Love that game!

I'll start Revelations 2 soon. :toast:

I lied before when I said that i played all AC games, i did not. Unity is the one i did not play. Everything else is a waste of time, the character movement, fighting, environment/ cities nature
The old way the quests were set up, go there-do this-come back. :( It's just bad gaming. The graphics look horrible. The mechanics are very old and thus very limited things what you can or more exactly what you can't do.
At this point, Unity performance is pretty good. Story and gameplay mechanics are both pretty good as well. I very much recommend it. Traversing the roofs of 18th century Paris is amazing. The crowds are dynamic and blending in is very useful as well.
