Been playing Iceborne. Took down my first Barioth since 3U, and it was really down to the wire. On the bright side, I also got the limited event layered armor, which has a very lovely qipao aesthetic on female Hunters.

I played a lot of MH4U and MHGen on the 3DS a few years back. Got into World earlier in the year, but I haven't played since April. I find that with Monster Hunter games, I tend to blast through the content and grind up until the difficulty becomes too much for me and my progress plateaus. On the plus side, very few games feel as rewarding as MH when you finally overcome whatever wall that's been keeping you down.

Genshin Impact has been taking up a lot of my time lately, although I'm feeling the post-AR35 blues. All my main story quests are finished and I've finished the latest event. There's just a handful of quests left that unlock after certain AR requirements or random commissions. I'm not AR45 yet, so it's not worth it to grind artifacts quite yet. It's just daily commissions and boss/domain farming for ascension and talent mats for now.

That new Assassins Creed seemed interesting but from the gameplay and reviews I've seen it seems to be turning out to be just more of the same. They're supposed to have supply issues until I think April, and that's just fine by me.

I have been playing it and I find a lot of its design choices odd given how smooth and fluid Odyssey was. The combat and parkour/climbing is somehow much much worse??

It looked that way from early on and I've heard similar stuff. Definitely a bummer, Assassins Creed games can be fun but Valhalla looked worse than Odyssey early on. Hell I'd rather play Black Flag Remastered than Valhalla and I really dug the idea of fighting the Templar Knights and just Brits in general. 1776 in like 800 yehhh buddy.

If you enjoy it then hell yes enjoy the hell out of it but I would personally really like the series to return to the Altair/Ezio style or at least the Unity one.

I feel like they shouldn't of made such massive changes after Syndicate. Mechanically speaking it's probably the most polished "traditional" Assassin's Creed game. The story is really well-devised and generally once you learned how they revised parkour it became the best thing ever. Probably one of my favorites behind Brotherhood and 2.

Didn't quite like the story or forced BOAT mechanics of Black Flag but I also enjoyed it for what it was.

I personally loved the boat stuff of Black Flag but that was the last AC game I played prior to Odyssey. Syndicate looked ok but who wants to listen to British accents for a whole game.

Although I did love the British accents of the Orcs from Warhammer Space Marine.

As a fan of Kingdom Hearts in all its dumb glory, Melody of Memory is really good both as a rhythm game and as a celebration of Kingdom Hearts' MVP Yoko Shimomura. They even managed to make me remember how I felt fighting hard bosses with some of the note charts on Proud difficulty.

Does anyone actually like the animus/modern day segements of Assassin's Creed? I'm prepared to admit that I've only played bits and pieces of 1 and 2, and only played Odyssey in full but I remember really enjoying the historic sections of the game and just being frustrated that every so often I was being pulled out of that for some stuff I didn't care about.

Would having context for those segments in Odyssey have changed my mind about them or do you think I'd still just be trying to fast track my way back to Ancient Greece?

Current Era shit in Odyssey was butthole AIDS, and not in the nice way. They haven't been decent since the Altair/Ezio games.

I don't think they work thematically or narratively like they did between Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed III. So, yeah they seem to be a chore and afterthought to keep the Origins games appear to have the illusion of being Assassin's Creed games. Just my opinion, though.

That depends on your idea of good. She's...on the main menu! And she's the narrator for the recaps! And...they sure do promise that Kingdom Hearts 4 will have her doing things....but also probably it'll be Riku's game!

I mean, they're not wrong. Twitter might think otherwise, but their take isn't wrong.
