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.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
