BO6 is quite good. Multiplayer is great but the campaign might be the first one I finish in over a decade.
I played the shit out of this game earlier in the year. One of my favorite roguelitesMonkey_Driven wrote:I'm not sure how long I will stick with it, but Balatro is pretty damn good.

After some research, I've decided to play as a Bard. Currently exploring which race would work best.Monkey_Driven wrote:Ok, craving some escapism. Might be time to finally start Baldur's Gate 3.
Why aren't you playing Dragon Age? It's your favorite franchise's sister series.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Assassin’s Creed: Origins. It’s really trying my patience. What is the point of an RPG with no dialogue options or player input into the story/characters? So boring. It’s only fun when I get to infiltrate forts. So tired of dull side quests.

I got suckered in because I loved Odyssey so muchMonkey_Driven wrote:Play a real RPG, LV.
I played Black Flag this summer. It was fine. Is Odyssey better or just the same game in Greek’s clothing?LoathedVermin72 wrote:I got suckered in because I loved Odyssey so muchMonkey_Driven wrote:Play a real RPG, LV.
Black Flag is my second favorite AC game, I loved that when it came out. But Odyssey is bigger, more creative, and adds better RPG elements.daft twat wrote:I played Black Flag this summer.

Yeah, Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla have significantly more RPG elements than previous entries.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Black Flag is my second favorite AC game, I loved that when it came out.

Getting the hang of turn-based combat was a huge hurdle for me (it had probably been about 6 years since I had played XCom, which was, IMO, way more punishing). Looking back, all of my prep and positioning for combat for most of act I were awful, so if I ever go back to play again, I’m sure that part of the game will be smoother. There were plenty of things I missed, too, so I’d like to go back and try a completely different path to see what else I can unlock. It’s worth the investment, as I’m sure you’ve heard from everybody who liked it.Monkey_Driven wrote:I'm already overwhelmed by BG3.
Complexity or systems and decision paralysis. I just don't typically play this type or game so I need to adapt.Ello Sailor wrote:Is that due to it being open-ended in terms of where you can go, or due to the complexity of its systems?
