I've recently fired up a new round of Crysis (the original).  This time I'm challenging myself to use only the pistol (with the exception of helicopters, they still get a rocket or two... or the alien weapons toward the end - no way to finish without them).

Finally finished Yakuza 0, was on sale for under €7 on steam back when I got it.  put over 70hrs into it with all the side stuff.   Now I actually picked up Yakuza Kiwami which was also on sale for under €17 at the time.    Not exactly brand spanking new titles but hey, backlog, you know how it goes.

Been re-playing Half Life 2.  Probably going to do the episodes again when done.  Also finally getting around to actually playing Dragon Age Origins.

 

Have a code for free game pass for a couple months so will likely redeem that and play some Halo reach.

Finsihing RDR2.  Got up to the point Author got sick and stopped there months ago.  Now I am past the main story line and working on the epilogue.

I need to get back into this game but every time i try it makes me fall asleep!

 

Maybe i haven't played it enough to get the feel of the game, does it compare a little to Assassins Creed open world with missions as that is what i am currently playing after clocking up over 180hrs in Odyssey?

Starts of kinda slow to get the feel of the game. But has a good story line and is open world.  RPG type game where you upgrade your characters items, base, that sort of thing.  Mission driven and lots of side quests.

Like Assassins Creed then?

 

I will give it another go after i have got Platinum on Odyssey if the game ever ends!  

Finished Metro Exodus last night, the open world change was nice, added lots to do.  The way the story ends I don't know if they can do a 4th game or not but I'd be down with it.  Anyways, going to jump into Dragon Quest 11 now.

Did you get the 'good' ending or the 'bad' one?

Good, I always go for stealth so it helps when I only take out people I have to or no one at all and just sneak past.

The first time I played through it, I thought I had done everything correct, but somehow I had killed someone that was not supposed to be, so I got the bad ending.

    • 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.
