AC Valhalla is like fast food. You know that what you’re getting isn’t the highest quality version of it, but you still enjoy it because it scratches that itch. Other games do parts better (God of War is a better Viking game, Ghost of Tsushima has more satisfying combat and stealth, there are other “better” open world games, etc.), but no other game has the combination of things that make AC a unique experience. I wish it were better in a lot of ways, but I really enjoy it nonetheless.

It takes a lot of sexual harassment to reach that specific level of open world mediocrity, but thankfully Ubisoft has mastered it.

That metaphor might hold for Origins and Odyssey but Valhalla is so much worse than those that it's more like a burger in can. Whose condiments cost extra.

Valhalla kicks rear end compared to Odyssey imo. Although I'm heavily weighted by the fact that I've only played Valhalla at 60fps vs all other AC's @ 30.

That's not what that report said. I'm sure it'll have a loot dynamic but so has every AC since Unity. It's just a live service platform instead of a retail platform (so far)

Trying to track down a Series X in Japan is proving difficult - there’s been one restock on Amazon in the last few weeks, and I missed it by a couple minutes (along with a Series X plus Elite II bundle for MSRP). Microsoft’s official site hasn’t restocked, other electronics chains are also out, and Amazon has one available…for $800/89,000 :negative:

Just have to be patient I guess.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Old Town Road to EGOT

I ordered mine on Thursday morning and I thought I was being tricked when I was able to proceed through the checkout process lol

I had been trying to get a PS5 since January so I was used to the console buying process being a pain in the rear end. Although I'd only been looking for a PS5 for a while, and those are still hard as gently caress to get hands on. I only recently started hunting for a Series X. Now that I've got one, I'm done looking for a PS5 for the foreseeable future.

Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I've been having an absolute blast with Dodgeball Academia on Game Pass. Just an incredibly polished combination of Super Dodgeball battle gameplay and RPG story elements similar to the old Mario Sports games.

It feels like if Golf Story actually had a decent budget/team and wasn't jank around the edges.

Of the two actively available right now, Dirt 5 is probably the better one to play of the mainline ones since Dirt 4 was this weird attempt to fold Rally into the mainline series and fumbled it massively. The Rally games are both excellent. If you can find physical copies of the other 3 Dirt games they're all fun in different ways.

Just don't play Showdown.
