Whatcha playing! I’m at the end of DK Bananza and will be continuing death stranding 2. DK Bananza was great! I think I prefer Mario Odyssey overall but it was a great time still

    I just finished Far Cry 5…Seemed like a fitting time for some cult destruction.

    Overall it wasn’t too bad. Maybe a 6 or 7 out of 10. I found it getting repetitive after halfway through the second (of three) regions. The side stories weren’t very interesting any more, so it was just a little grindy to the end.

    I will say, this was one of the few games that got me on the disgust (not sure that’s really the right word for it) meter a couple times. No spoilers, but the story Jess Black shares about the cult’s doings is quite revolting.

    Probably on to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 next for me.

    E: One thing I just remembered that was quite well done that I don’t often (literally) hear in other games was the quality of sounds coming from afar. A commotion in the distance actually sounded like it was in the distance, and not just a less quiet sound. Some mushed directionality while a little bit of reverb and reflection really made it sound realistic.

      Agreed, FC5 was great until the point it got repetitive. I played the latter half in co-op, it was absurd fun with the little helicopters!

      I also spent the first 2 hours at the arcade playing launch week user created maps. They were… rough.

      The detail about the sounds is interesting, I hadn’t noticed it!
