Playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
About 50% of the way through and seriously questioning if I'll bother finishing it. The amount of jank, poor transitions in cutscenes/dialogue etc is really jarring. The jumping/traversal mechanics are way too forgiving and really distracting.
Might just pack it in.

I played it when it first came out and don't remember having any issues. I enjoyed playing it.

Reinstalled Ghost Recon Wildlands after seeing the launch information for the follow up cause I had never finished the main story or the DLC. Will be horsing through the last of it for the next week or so I reckon.

Also, have been playing Elite Dangerous and got my HOTAS joystick back from a friend I'd loaned it to to make the most of it.

Been playing Crusader Kings 2 and Mordhua more then anything else recently.

I always come back to CK2 at least once or twice a year. Its been a fun campaign as this time I decided to start off as the petty king of Mumu (Munster) and in 120 odd years my great great great great great grandson is now emperor of the British Isles  But for some reason for the last 5 generations of men in my family all die before the age of 30, all different ways and all managing to have 1 son before their death so for most of my campaign so far I've had a reagent..

Mordhua is a very very fun and skill based first person melee combat game. I'm not sure if its available on consoles but if it is, I'd recommend everyone try it.

I'm actually playing a lot of older games lately as my graphics card gave out on me a while back. Playing a lot of Dune 2000 and RCT3 just for nostalgia sake. Also have This War of Mine downloaded and ready to go but I'm a little apprehensive to play it because of how dark and unforgiving it's supposed to be.

Football manager 19...what the fu(k have I done to myself?

Everytime I play a Football manager game I end up with 10 save files in the first 2 seasons with every transfer window decision saved before hand just in case I buy an absolute mare of a player. I always get serious OCD with FM games.

Did you play the Sam Fisher or Predator missions in Wildlands? Absolutely brilliant! I got a lot of value out of that game, even enjoyed the PvP.

I completed single player in Crackdown 3 a while ago and I've been trying to get on to multiplayer today and last night.
I'm playing through game pass on PC, in Wrecking Zone a window pops up and says it can't connect to xbox live, the match making times out after. Is there a way to fix it? I was interested to see how the destruction turned out.

Restarted GTA V for the umpteenth time. Such a good game and looks amazing hooked up to my 4K Tv.

I remember playing it years ago when released on the Xbox 360 and then pre loading the massive Gigabytes for the midnight release on PC. I have a really slow connection and left the PC on downloading for a few days straight.

I've had GTA V installed since 2017. Never touched it.

I made some progress on IV. Had my then PS3 nicked and never went back to the series. I take it is an improvement then?

V is so much better.

5 was the first time I'd played GTA since San Andreas and it just felt dated to me. The humour and writing did not feel like they held up to me viewing them as an adult instead of as a teenager, or maybe they've just got worse, and the novelty established when the series went 3D and built on in Vice City and San Andreas were absent this time around.

I got as far as Trevor's introduction as a playable character and just got bored with it.

I appreciate the scope of it, but at a fundamental level I don't find it interesting anymore.

I've been replaying Etrian Odyssey Untold, since I couldn't afford to buy Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 when it was on sale on the eshop. I'm playing classic mode this time, since I played story more the first time. I'm enjoying it all over again. It's fun mapping out the different floors and completing quests.

I'm one of the few people who never cared much for any of the GTA games even growing up. Vice city was probably the one I enjoyed the most. I do enjoy playing online on GTA 5 on PC the odd time with friends but the grind to get the good stuff is a bit ludicrous.

I'm playing Abe's Odyssey New n Tasty in between sessions of Ghost Recon Wildlands. I don't remember the controls being as bad in Abes Odyssey the last time I played it, but damn they are awful.

I learned how to get the good ending from last time so I'm working on that. Though at the beginning of this playthrough.. I don't know if I took a wrong turn but suddenly I had 55 characters missing and maybe I missed a large part of level 1 :blink:

Lemming

Been playing BattleFleet Gothic Armada (got it years ago, never really sat down with it), and back on Space Hulk: Deathwing and been giving Multiplayer a persistent bash.

Heckler

What remains of Edith Finch. The comic book sequence about Barbara being a standout so far. Not my usual type of game at all but I really like it.

I just finished that recently. The comic book section was brilliantly done.

Yup you rolled out of the level too early. I did the same thing. You have to go back and start again there is a hidden platform to climb up on cant remember where. Look out for little pebbles falling from behind something. Then jump up.

I played through the first level again and found only a handful more of the dudes. When I realised the other ones were hidden I just said F it and finished with it.

Tonight I've been playing Steep which I got free off Ubisoft. Have to say I've been enjoying it. I'm getting a bit better at controlling the snowboard and I completed a 5 part 'hard' level wingsuit challenge, so safe to say I'm decent with that.

It's the same as with some of their other giveaways. The base game is free and loaded with adverts for DLC lol.

I've been playing through Hitman 1 reboot in the Hitman 2 reboot client because it reset progress but made H1 content free as legacy content for owners of it. Enjoying it just wish it wasn't so heavily connected to the internet. If I finish it all and I'm still hungry it'll probably be worth investing in Hitman 2 content but I'll have to search or wait for a good deal because their prices are stupid. I got the whole season 1 of Hitman for €25 when it got linux support and dropped Denuvo + relaxed some net requirements. For the 'Gold' version Hitman 2 it's up to 90 quid :eek: Dunno what these lads are on. No way I'm paying that for a game that can't even function without a net connection.

Finally clocked Tomb Raider. Going to attack the sequel soon I think.

Heckler

Stories Untold at the moment. Free so shouldn't complain. Love the idea and some of the implementation but its an exercise in frustration especially part 3.

Finally started Civilization 5.. My first entry in to the series.

Highly, highly addictive game so far.

Tried the tutorial once and gave up. Why do strategy games have such abysmal tutorials?
