Played the series up 'till Rogue then drifted away. Origins looks great but I've heard mixed reviews. Not yet, but I'm planning to soon! I'm not a huge Assassin's Creed fan (minus the pirate ones, which I love) but this one looks very cool and I'm completely sold on the idea of exploring Hellenistic Egypt.

Yeah, the interpretation of Egypt looks spectacular from what I've seen. Would love to see a game set in the Old Kingdom too, just to see how the developers would portray it. Hopefully we get Greece or ancient Sub-Saharan Africa in future titles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfel Cadarn Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Recently finished Assassins Creed Unity and started Syndicate. Good game. My favourites are probably Brotherhood, Black Flag and Syndicate so far. Elite Dangerous: Launched my Asp Explorer from Sol and set off on my big exploration mission. It's got no weappns and very little shields (only have any for planet landings). I've found a number of planets including an Earth-like one that should be worth a good bit. Currently en route to Colonia where I'll fully repair, unequip my buggy and shields, and set off for the galactic centre, Sag A. From there, maybe Beagle's Point on the edge of the rim on the far side of the galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the Ezio trilogy (one of the best games characters in years) and was amazed by III, IV and Rogue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A True Kaniggit Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Less than a week until Stellaris 2.0. I always say I'm going to wait a few days before playing so the bugs can be worked out, but it never happens. Bugs be damned! I'm playing that shit opening day. The Union of Democratic Systems shall triumph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy naming my faction something fucking insane like The Interstellar Coalition of Democratically Elected Representatives of the Akronian Citizens' Republic It's awesome.

A True Kaniggit Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 While waiting for Stellaris 2.0, I decided to start a new Civ 6 to pass the time. (I ended up not buying that DLC. $30? They're fckn nuts) Playing as England and have a really good start going. Ended up on a peninsula separated from the rest of the landmass by mountains. Was able to fit 3 cities onto the peninsula and am about to put 2 more cities in the passes that separate me from the world(have to destroy Amsterdam first). And on the name thing. What the hell Mass Effect? The Asari Republics. The Batarian Hegemony. The Human Systems Alliance. The Turian Hierarchy. After centuries of immigration you're claiming there are no other species withing you're empires? Way to be inclusive galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Enjoying Hard West. It's XCOM but in the Weird West and with a bit less depth to the strategy metagame (well, there isn't one, more of an Oregon Trail thing where you have to decide what to do on your journey between missions that can result in bonuses or hindrances). It's all tremendous fun. Mafia III finally dropped to a price level I feel appropriate for it (on the same day the developers announced massive layoffs, which is weird because, despite a mixed reception, Mafia III apparently sold quite well). Will get to that at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna do a ME replay, but I just hate playing with Mouse and Keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A True Kaniggit Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Really Civ 6? How is it, more than a year since release, there is still that same old bug that I ran into on my first playthrough, that allows the game to get stuck with only 6 religions?

KiDisaster Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Anyone played Nier: Automata? I just finished all the main endings, and I have to say ending E is one of the coolest and most powerful things I've ever experienced in a video game. The music picking up when you accept help and the data of those other players joins you to help you push through to the end of that credit shooting sequence, the choice at the end to sacrifice your save data to help another player through the same spot...just amazing. This entire game has left me in awe. A shining example of the unique things this art form can do and be. Retroactive best game of 2017, easily one of my favorites of all time.

Would have really liked to see sequels to 3 and 4, the Native American/Pirate stuff would be very impressive on the new consoles. Always dug the way Haytham spun his knife too!
