Can't decide what I think of For Honor. The peer to peer connection is terrible, the fights are mostly emotionless, but every once in a while I have an awesome one with someone who knows how to play.

Mostly still a disappointment I guess.

Every time I see Horizon I get less excited for it. Then I saw the gameplay with a ubitsoft iconsalad map and im just...unless it has great reviews Im going to skip. I feel like it was a more direct experience until it got popular from awesome trailers and got AAAified.

Finally got my Platinum headset, despite pre-ordering from Amazon on day 1. It's a step up from the Golds, sound quality and location detection are better and build quality is nice, but it's not a huge enough upgrade to recommend it unless your Golds are disintegrating like mine were.

The improvements really help in audio-dependent games like RS Siege. And UC4 "3d sound" was cool, but not mindblowingly different than regular/virtual surround. I had to check the audio options to see if it was even on.

And I should note that I had to max out the headband size to make it fit, which I didn't have to do on the Golds. So if you also have a freakishly large melon, beware.

I'm skeptic because it looks like The Division in a jungle. Or is it thrid person old school Ghost Recon's "go gently caress those dudes up over there while your bro covers you from the other side?"

I really, really don't like the Division but had lots of fun with this. Taking out several enemies together adds that Ghost Recon feeling that I thought would be non-existent. One shot kills help a lot.

Was in a party with blackguy32 and another guy from the start though, not sure how it is by yourself.

Flying is weird, like it'll just suddenly stop listening to your directions and you can't do poo poo.

I almost don't want to play the beta anymore so I can just experience everything for the first time in the full game. But if that's just one zone then the full game is gonna take hundreds of hours?!

Maybe if all you care about is rushing through the story missions, but I'd say the open world adds more to it than most other games of this type. Getting the collectables was fun and keeping the players distracted with a map full of stuff enables the seamless multiplayer. You need a nice detailed world for the hide-and-seek style invasion mode.

Not to mention it was a treat for anyone familiar with San Francisco. Exploring the city and seeing how they re-created it was one of my fav parts about the game. Same with GTA V.
