Been tempted on it as I do have a bit of a guilty pleasure for the Dynasty Warriors series in general, but I haven't played a lot of the Zelda series to really get into it.

Don't think you really need to have much of the Zelda lore to get into it. If you've played BoTW I think thats more than sufficient. A lot of people are saying the story doesnt add more to the game. The only gripe was that frames dropped a bit here and there but the fact that its live-action vs turn-based might be a good thing.

Ah ok, fair enough. Ironically from what I said before, I never knew Dynasty Warriors was based on anything until about the 4th game due to the back story provided. 

Got Yakuza 6 now so it's time to start that, though I might have gone a tad over the top this week. Ordered both God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn just now, as well as downloading the Spyro trilogy from the PS Store. Chuck the possibility of Crash 4 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 11 as well for Christmas and I might be sorted for a while.

Judging by how quick I go these days, probably take me to 2022 as well.

There's part of me that wants to go back to them, but at the same time I'm so far behind that I really can't be arsed either. 

Haven't played any of them since Black Flag.

So Blackflag funny enough was the one in the series i havent played, Ive been meaning to pick it up at some point as Ive heard nothing but great things about it. Origins it did start to change a bunch and mostly for the good but I would almost say you could skip it, Odyssey is just better.

At the time, I was doing a series playthrough (from the first game up to the third) and while it wasn't too bad, I started to feel fatigue from it, especially after playing Revelations (didn't like it, though at least it made me play it more stealthily thanks to the terrible tower defence game) and three (Connor was a whiney cock). 

Of the five I played, I only really liked the second and Brotherhood, which probably didn't help.

I pretty much share your opinion if it helps, Revelations was a real slogfest.... i think i only did about 60 odd % completion just to finish the main story. Brotherhood was more along the right track but the games do take a real upgrade in Origins, its much more like a real open world rpg game with some assassins creed elements.... Origins still had some of the same issues but there was just so much more you could do and Oddysey they hit their stride imo.

And im done all the side and secondary stories. Definitely my favourite AC game to date.

Did you manage to get your hands on one? I know you were trying to get one and Sony WW said they'll have more coming in the second week of December.

Comes on Tuesday next week. Going to wait to open it with my nephew who wanted to get one but supplies here have been non-existent forget poor. Might just give it to him over the Xmas break and pick it back up in Jan as my backlog which I thought I'd gone over has slowly started to rear its ugly head again.

Played 4hrs last night, it's getting even better now the story is progressing!  ..i love the fact that even when it's supposed to be stealthy mission you can just run up to the gates and smash some cunt in the face with an Axe instead and fight your way through  ..apparently it runs amazing on the PS5, i will be getting the new X next year at some point but will wait for the devs to get to grips with the new hardware first and the true next gen games to come out as they are struggling with it at the minute and i have a One X that i want to get a bit more use out of

Oh wait, think you was talking about Odyssey  ..yep!, that's in my top 5 games of all time, great game

Been hooked on Surviving Mars recently. Got most of the expansion packs a while ago, and it's such a nice addition to the base game.

AC Valhalla just gets better and better, 40hrs in and im canceling appointments so I can play more   .."sorry, we will have to reschedule, busy raiding a castle with Ragner's son's, toddle pip!"

Today's progress on Yakuza 6.

Kiryu Kazuma visits a new place, fights a yakuza and then........... rushes around the area to find milk to give a baby he's looking after, all while having to stop the baby crying occasionally by swinging, lifting up doing 'Upsy Daisy' with the baby and rubbing its head in a mini game. 

You know, the usual stuff. 

[Happy Blue]

72hrs in and Valhalla is every bit as good as Odyssey, best 2 AC games by a mile  ..hope the next one is about the Roman Empire!

Resident Evil 2 renake (2019) on PS4. Is more difficult then I thought it'd be.

Yeah, there are moments where it can get tough. Cracking remake though, even if the story was a bit messed up this time.

Received this bad boy for Xmas, which I didn't know existed.

Looking forward to replaying 64 and sunshine and trying galaxy for the first time.
