Man, it’s so tough to convince people around me that Odyssey is actually really good because people have been so burned by Ubisoft already. It’s hard to blame them, especially when Far Cry 5 wasn’t that far back, but.....it actually is so great though!!! It’s like a hornier Skyrim with sailing

I've watched several quick-look-style videos and I can hardly muster any enthusiasm at all for open world games anymore. That died with AC3 and GTAV, with the Witcher 3 being the final nail in the coffin. I think part of it is the quest-based narratives and the lack of direction and replayability.

Doesn't help that several games/franchises I enjoyed got open world sequels I enjoyed less, like Burnout Paradise, Mirror's Edge, Witcher 3...

I'm looking forward to DMCV. At least they haven't turned that into an open world game. GoW had a pretty good compromise with its hub world, similar to how the Tomb Raider reboot handled it. It will be interesting to see what Naughty Dog does with the Last of Us 2. I'm 100% certain they will make it less linear than their earlier games, the question is how much they'll lean in that direction.

I must be struggling to get rid of my twentieth century thinking because my first thought upon reading that was "wait, how old do you think both Tei and Q1 modding are?"

Q1 modding was awesome because the AI would fight each other and ignore the player so you could setup monster deathmatch arenas in level editors and it's weird that such a small and simple feature isn't in games today (aside from different enemy factions in Destiny fighting each other, I can't think of any other examples).

I wish more games could lean into that so it doesn't always feel like the player is the center of whatever world they inhabit but instead NPCs all have their own agendas and goals and you can just watch chaos unfold if you want and maybe join in.

FYI- Amazon Prime Customers, the PS4 Pro is in stock and shipping with no mark-up if you are a Prime customer if you are looking for one. I just ordered one after lurking in this thread for a while. Going to Preorder Ace Combat 7, as I am a fan of the series from back in the PS2 days.

Any must do things now until then? I have a basic Playstation account already from my PS3 Fat days (still works!). Maybe Horizon Zero Dawn or other PS4 Classics?

Yeah, check out the PlayStation Hits line. $20 each for a bunch of the best games on this system like Horizon, Bloodborne, Yakuza Zero, and Last of Us Remastered. Also good choice with Ace Combat 7, if you pre-order it you get a copy of Ace Combat 5 Remastered for PS4!

It also tied straight into 0 and it was like oh poo poo, my soul. :swoon:

A local bar buddy of mine made a great comparison. Yakuza isn’t the Japanese GTA, but Japanese Saint’s Row is a really good way of seeing it. Not in terms of gameplay, but there’s just so much depth and heart poured into what should by all means be inconsequential filler, all the time.

AssCreed Origins Gold is on sale for 50€ here. GF is an Egypt fan and would probably enjoy watching me play this for the setting.

But I think it also has a no combat discovery mode right? She would love this.

Is it worth buying? The last Asscreed I played was Black Flag.

Not right now but it was on sale a few weeks ago for $24. It seems to go on sale for $30 every four weeks now.

I was thinking of doing the same after hearing the aco hype, but ultimately heeded (I think it was) exquisite tea's wise words: get the thing you want, not the thing you kinda want. assasin's creed games are too big a commitment to settle for the non-best versions, imo.

which in my case means having to wait for a sale.
