What games are you playing now?

I just started this myself. The Game Awards trailer looked pretty interesting & two of my friends have raved about 3 for years. I think both of them have around 200 hours a piece, which is great b/c I've been wanting to play something different from my usual sports/sim/management grouping that I can sink a lot of time into. Was only $10 for the game + both expansions & I've enjoyed it so far still in the early stages of tracking down Ciri, so a good value.

Finally coming to an end on The Witcher 3, just a few more missions left in Blood & Wine. I ended up liking it a lot & I think the 2 DLCs are actually even better in terms of story telling. Has me excited for #4, however many years down the line that is.

Picked up RDR2 for cheap during the Spring sale, so that's next.

After about 13 hours of AC Shadows I’m still enjoying it immensely. I was trying to think of a game that is closest to it in feeling and I have to say that Metal Gear Solid 5 is probably the closest in how it feels to play, which is more than I was expecting, but very glad that’s what we got.

How many hours were you in before Yasuke showed up again after the tutorial? I watched a streamer I follow play it to see if I might enjoy it, and looks like something I'll probably pick up down the line. But, he put in quite a few hours and it looks like it spends a large amount of time setting up Naoe's backstory (which is fine).

Took me about 12 hours. I did do some side stuff like a few castles and other things. If I just focused on main story it would probably be 10 hours or so.

Around 26 hours in now and I’m still getting amazed by this game. They truly knocked it out of the park.

Oh wow. How does he feel play as? I've seen a lot of comments that he's a very unique character in the franchise, in that he relies solely on strength & brute force than stealth. I recall one person saying he's like a tank that gives the player a "boss-like" approach for your enemies.

Yeah, the intended way to play Yasuke is just using his weapons and abilities, which is a lot of fun. You can also go stealth using his bow, which is going to be a lot harder, but can be fun too. I usually do a bit of both. First use arrows to clean up some of the enemies and then unleash his might on the rest of the enemies. I am mostly playing as Naoe, but switch to Yasuke as the situation demands. It feels pretty organic to me and feels good to mix it up.
