Currently 40 hours into Assassin's Creed Origins and thoroughly enjoying it. I am waiting for the next sale on Odyssey, which I hear is even better. I really enjoy the stealth.
The most hours I have put into any game in the past several years is Divinity Original Sin II. It is just an incredibly well-written and thoroughly polished game. However, it is BRUTALLY difficult. I didn't even beat it. I saw what was expected of me for the final boss fight and I thought, meh, I've had enough.
If you have not played XCOM 2 to, that is also a masterpiece. And it is also HARD AS HELL.
Count me as another person that couldn't get into The Witcher III. I even beat the game, but I didn't love the journey. I think it was the battle system. I want more than just a sword (or two). Reading through this discussion has convinced me to start a new game on NG+ to see if I missed anything or if I rushed the story. I really WANT to love it.
I am a PC gamer and all the comments about the PS4 exclusive are killing me. Mainly, I badly want to play RDR2, GOW, and Bloodborne. Speaking of From Software, anyone see the teaser for Elden Ring? I am irrationally excited for this game, more so than for any game in recent memory.
I was thinking about posting this question in a new thread, but I am curious what everyone's thought is on Google Stadia. Would you be happy to stream games and only need a lower-end system? Will it be too laggy? For me, if this thing proves to not lag, not randomly disconnect, not generally suck, I will be all over it. I don't need to "own" my games. I am even thinking of taking Microsoft up on their new PC pass. $5/month. Some games you can stream, some you can download. But, damnit, I still have to figure out how to get my hands on the PS4 exclusives!
Great games discussion in here!
