Just platinumed Horizon Dawn, such a fantastic game and now started RDR2 and jesus it is slow compared  to that, I hope I can get into it.

I would have probably suggested a break between the two, as they are both heavy on the story and as you've noted the pacing is very different. But they are both incredible games! I'm contemplating starting RDR2 from the beginning, but I need to find some time; unfortunately I have an anniversary this weekend otherwise I'd probably be playing until 4am tonight and tomorrow. :laugh:

PSN USA had a sale a month ago so ended up getting Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Spiderman far cheaper than what it costs in the UK, so it'll be a while before I fire up RDR2 again.

Finished all of AC Odyssey DLCs.  Which sucks since I really enjoyed the game.  Finished Zelda BOTW as well.  So now playing Far Cry Primal since it was recently on sale.  Don't know why a game that is a few years old was still $50-$60, but the sale was nice.

Be interested to know your thoughts on Primal. It was a little hit and miss for me and it took me a long time to get interested in it.

I am liking it so far.  At first, I was hesitant to buy it.  Partially because of the cost for a game that is a few years old.  And partially because it was a diff take from the rest of the Far Cry games.  But it was on sale for like 75% off so I bought it. 

 

Typical FC game really cept for the guns.  Save the people, gather resources, and build up your town to fight back.  Pretty cool you can tame beasts/animals to fight with you and you can command them.  You can also ride animals like the sabertooth cats and woolly mammoths.  Have not tried that yet.

Just completed Sequence 7, think it's the penultimate one, of Assassin's Creed Syndicate. 

 

My favourite bits of the games are the open areas that you have for assassinations. Love just being given an area, a few hints and then go and kill person x

 

There seems to be an issue where you're not able to complete a few of the checklists (locations etc), which is annoying.

The FTP Quake Champions, but there are too few people playing and match making is completely broken since afk players are auto joined into the next match and this causes team imbalance (I like TDM).

Wow, I just had a whole up-down set of emotions. "Free to play? Awesome! Oh wait, I'm thinking of Unreal Tournament...but still, a new run-and-game TDM game! ...hang on, loot boxes?"

 

It's still FTP, so I might give it a go over the weekend. Just pleeeeease don't have the main mode be a Battle Royale situation. I'm absolutely fed up with this focus. I gave Apex Legends a go for all of 2 games before going, "well this is bull..." and I don't care if anyone wants to say that wasn't long enough to experience it, I'm just tired of the genre.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
