He bought himself a headset and he and his friends party up whenever they can.

I was kind of out of Overwatch but it's fun to see these kids 'inventing' the idea of what is basically a clan. Discussing strategies when offline, having quintessential discussions of what character can beat another in a fair fight and such.

Sometimes I get to play, too.

Old man.

Dude, don’t take it personal. It’s kinda funny. Becoming our fathers. Calling things by the wrong name...

This is cool. Must be a bit surreal watching him go through the same gaming culture that we went through. At least a shadow of your former self...

Horizon: Zero Dawn

What a fucking game this was; absolutely brilliant in every way. Not quite as good as God of War imo, but pretty close to it.

Highly recommend.

Replaying Dark Souls.
Bought the trilogy a few weeks back because why not. Now I actually need to finish these tho.

Also beat Bloodstained Ritual of the Night before that. Highly recommend if you're into Castlevania as it is exactly that but with a different title.

Yeah it's fucking mint. You can upgrade trucks now, own them, sell them there's a ton of missions that aren't pickup logs at locatoin x and move them to location y. I suggest getting the premium edition of the game as a lot of vehicles aren't available in the normal version which kinda sucks balls but otherwise it's a fantastic game. The level design is absolutely miles above what they had in mudrunner too, lots of tight technical bits with expansive maps. I've been enjoying the fuck out of it. If you're on xbox add me, GT = Kracus

FF7 Remake - Great game. Loved it. Some filler stuff but the production value is throught he roof. Can't wait for part 2.

Persona 5 - Loving it. So many charming little things.

Monster Hunter World - Good way to connect with my brother (living abroad) during the pandemic. Might still be a decent single player experience. Some great environments.

I am very much enjoying this...treating it like a fine wine though and taking my time to savour every sip of it. I am exploring every single bit of every single screen. I am about 23 hours in and realistically I am maybe 12 hours into the story.

I'm at the Icon of Sin fight in Doom Eternal. Fuck that guy.
I know, yes, it's taking me this long. I'm not finding much time to play lately. I did 100% all of the levels except two. In one of them, I only have to do the Marauder secret encounter but fuck me, that guy's a piece of shit.

When Doom Eternal is becoming a bit too much I switch over to my re-play of Bioshock 2. Much slower paced game. Finished the game back in the day on XBox360 and am now playing the remaster on PC. Honestly, BS2 never received the credit it should've gotten. It might not have been as impactful as BS1, but in execution, it's better than it's predecessor in most areas.

Yeah...absolute prick of a thing. Doom is wonderful, apart from the later boss fights. They felt cheap...

Having finished slogging my way through Assassin's Creed Odyssey (great game, but stupidly long), I'm now playing Gears Tactics, interspersed with the odd bout of The Wonderful 101.

I also intend to put some time in to DMC5 this weekend. But at the same time, after all that traditional scripted single player action in AC, I'm feeling the pull of something more procedural and management focussed. So I may dip back in to something along the same lines as Dwarf Fortress, if not DF itself.

Going through it right now and having much less fun than with Origins. They really filled the game world with pointless shit.

Finally finished both DLCs on a new Dark Souls 3 playthrough and did another run through Blooborne and The Old Hunters. Bloodborne remains the only platinum I've ever bothered earning on the PS4.
