@WolfyTn that’s a really good point about the humor. There were more than a few moments in “odyssey” that cracked me up. Some of the characters were outrageous (in the best way) but I think the tone of “shadows” is just more serious so humor might be tougher to do? Idk I’m no writer haha
I’ll just say it - ranking it below an “8” means you’re…
1) not a fan of the RPG AC formula (which is completely fair!) Or 2) you’re faaaar too invested into the culture wars / faux outrage “woke” and all that static
“Far crying” got me. It sucks because the Far Cry games I think COULD be truly excellent. They look awesome, I think generally the gunplay is great, but the actual story and gameplay portions are just terribly average (or below).
Good news! I wasn’t the biggest fan of #2 for a variety of reasons (still good, just not great), the Miles game is still my favorite of the three though, by far.
I've tried PC gaming a handful of times, and ultimately, it just feels like I'm still at my 9 - 5 setup Haha I so dislike using a keyboard and mouse. I love the extra feeling of escapism NOT being in front of a computer outside of work hours!
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is genuinely one of the best, and best looking, games I've ever played. If you've not picked it up yet - I would highly recommend!
As someone whose first AC game was Odyssey, I am genuinely so excited for this one! The modern AC formula set in old Japan sounds (and looks, so far) to be something fantastic.
With how expensive moneys are to make these days, it's difficult for me to understand how these absolutely bomb, booooomb movies get a green light. Like...none of us are in the movie business, but most (all?) of us knew this was a terrible idea and would tank lol

Re: Tiny New Ghost of Yotei Details Have PS5 Owners Hyped
Is anyone else hoping they’ll delay to 2026 to avoid as many AC Shadows comparisons?

Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghost of Yotei Still on Track for 2025 Release

Re: Poll: One Year Later, How Would You Rate Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PS5?
Really fun, but I liked the Miles game far more than either of the main ones.
