Wow its like the end of exclusivity to drive people into a specific ecosystem. Microsoft's big announcement should be tomorrow as well. Locking people into your store/ecosystem is good but if you publish and make profits from a title everywhere, that's also good.

I'd read Midnight Suns bore little resemblance to XCOM, but thought I'd give it a whirl anyway.

So far it's about 80% dialogue, 15% maintaining and upgrading my abilities, and 5% gameplay. Is this what playing card games like Magic the Gathering is like? Jesus.

Anyone play Timberborn? It’s a city builder with beavers. I had to buy it immediately.

So many Survivor games. Latest good one seems to be Deep Rock Survivors.

Just started playing AC: Unity again, it's so weird how for the most part, it (2014 release) looks visually better than AC Origins (2017), Odyssey (2018) and Mirage (2023). The way Arno climbs up and down buildings is the best it's ever been in the series too.

Given the (deserved) fallout from the glitchy release and Ubisoft basically rebuilding the series from the ground up in response, I truly believe AC games would look entirely different today if they just delayed the Unity release 6 months to iron out all the bugs. It's so much better than how it's been remembered by the gaming world. Better attention to detail with structures too, for the eco-tourism angle.

It's been my obsession for months. Probably logged 100 hours in the last 6 months

Yeah I wonder how hard it is for them since they don't seem to come out with new ones very often when it seems like they could just print money.

Hopefully they make it so people can add their own levels at some point in the future.

I’m not too interested in branded expansions. Just give me more houses and vehicles and parks.

The ability to import your own 3D models would be super.

Finally got around to playing Ragnarok. Cried 3 times. Can't believe they made big lumbering meatheads so sympathetic.

Contemplating playing Witcher 3 for the first time. I loved the first two but never had the energy for a long RPG since it came out.

RDR 2 was the first time in my entire life I was excited for the Stampede. I bought my first cowboy hat that year.

My friend texted me about Alien Isolation. I love that game. Well, I love the first half. Game is way too long.

Pepsi may be many things but I don’t think a bot is one of them.
