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.

I’m playing WipeOut the Omega collection. HD and Fury are such great packages. And it still looks so incredibly good.

Sniper Elite 5:
did they ask Musk for permission to mulitalte his face like that?

That's his real face if he keeps up the Ketamine abuse.

Bought StarWars Outlaws this morning. Finished the prologue before work.

Impressed so far.

Finished:
EA WRC - again, I liked the physics feel of the game (heck, could GT finally be this good?). But I wont miss not playing it anymore, the feel of competition is not the same when just running on a clock no matter how close it can be set to the own driving skills.

Almost finished:
Sniper Elite 5 - authentic mode sure is challenging without all the "player aids" that one could use in the run to collect all the items on the missions. But with the unlocked starting positions some missions almost feel like they are solved right on starting.

Next on the list:
maybe finally find time to play RE4, otherwise it propably ends up being Nine Sols.

I finished MGS - I'm a hyena now, makes a change from my usual pigeon - and have been playing VR Missions since. I'm almost finished, just got the VR mission, Ninja, one more puzzle and maybe half of the advanced weapon mode time trials left to do. I'm not going for high scores, I was at first but the weapon mode time trials are really hard! Also I don't know if I've ever done the VR mission (that's where you have 18 minutes to do 10 missions in a row) in my life so I'm keen to try to do that, but we'll see. I might also do another playthrough in Integral, also something I've never done. Fun that there are still things left to do in a game I've owned since day one and have played a LOT of in my life.

I recently bought AC1 off the PS Store and I have been really enjoying it. I haven't played it since I had a PS3 about 15 years ago. It has been a little difficult getting use to the controls again. I find myself using AC6's control sometimes and the action is much faster than 6. Still fun game. It started to get better as played more and I can still remember how do most of the missions.
