Have you killed every spider on the continent yet?
Depends, what do you consider as part of the continent?
The land air and water that is was and has always been Australia.
Oh yeah, all good mate! Shall we chuck some more meat on the barbie for you then?

Yes, absolutely, but it HAS to be spider meat. I don't transcontinent otherwise.
Otherwise you'll be incontinent, I get it.

I bought PES2020.. because I can't wait for FIFA20. I wish I hadn't... I'll probably play it like twice more and never again.

Cyberpunk is the first game I am looking forward to getting ASAP since Witcher 3.

I beat Remnant: Feom the Ashes. Cool game. Lots left to see still with the random bosses and story events.

So after failing to kill a boar in Zelda, (I'll have to hook to a TV as my old eyes can barely see the boars) I took a break and surfed the web. I download the demo for A Plague Tale on the PC. And wouldn't you know, after hitting apples with my sling, I'm tasked with killing a wild boar with it. I SMH said fuck this shit and went to bed.

Wild boars are freaking annoying in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. They knock you off your horse and can inflict a hell of a lot of damage if your not careful.

After I killed one and got the glider, I went to kill the rock monster with my hammer and shot 2 boars on the way. The hammer broke on my very next encounter. =/

I'm investing in fire arrows right now as I can't seem to keep a good weapon as they break faster than I can acquire them. I only have 5 or 6 hearts, so just starting yet...

Enjoying the Borderlands 3 area in Fortnite.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

What's the scoop on the new Borderlands game? Reviews seem to be good for the most part. The only bad thing I'm hearing is that it's basically the same as past versions, just better graphics. Anyone have a review?

FIFA20 is out.. for anyone interested, it's much better than PES20. I wish I could return that pile of garbage.

Waiting for Ghost Recon Breakpoint to release.. hoping it's as fun as Wildlands was.. which I of course need to go back and finish at some point.

Been playing a lot of Total War on PC.

Also need to go back and finish:
RDR2
AC Odyssey
Far Cry 5/New Dawn
Ghost Recon Wildlands
Hitman 2
RAGE 2
Kingdom Come - DLCs
AC III Remastered
AC Rogue Remastered
Watch Dogs 2

I preordered it for my brother for his birthday, and he really likes it. He said that its basically the same template as before, but it has a few changes and better everything. Im going to see him soon and play it with him so Ill know more then.

Sounds great. Thanks. I have enough of a backlog where it's probably smart for me to wait on this and get it once the price comes down.

Finally getting into Rise of the Tomb Raider. I really like what they've done with the current iteration of this series. It's like Uncharted, but with acceptable camera angles. I'll probably get the 3rd game, at some point.

nope nope nope. I love Uncharted but Uncharted is like Tomb Raider. Not the other way around.

Agreed though, this newest update to the games has been stellar. I wish they'd put a little more into the tombs though.
Bigger, grander. JAZZ HANDS!! That type of thing.

I get it that the original Tomb Raider games started the genre, but the actual game play that we have today is basically a carbon copy of how Uncharted interpreted the genre almost a decade earlier.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

It's better than Wildlands.. I like the locale and enemies a lot more. A lot of bitching online about it being too easy. I play on Normal and it's pretty easy.. but I like it that way. A game this big, I don't want every fight to be a slog.

Two main differences from Wildlands that haven't bothered me but probably will others. No AI teammates, yet at least. Apparently they're still in development so you either play with real folks online or you're going solo. But it's definitely not difficult playing solo. Equipment and weapons are now loot based.. in that you get them from drops/crates or purchase at the basecamp store. You've got your Blues/Green/Grays.. and it all adds up to a level total. It's not implemented nearly as badly as other games and it's not hard to level up. And if you really like a gear combination you have the ability to set a cosmetics override where you can pick your look even if your actual gear is different. Sucks having to get used to a new gun every 15-20 mins though as you get a lot of loot quite often.

Okay. So... my brother got rid of internet a couple months ago, so he hasn't downloaded any updates. Point being, this game lags a shit ton on Co-op. Every time we got into a big firefight, or were on a certain planet with weird lighting effects, the game fucking lags like a mo'fucker. It got really annoying.

However, I think they have a download for that. I dont know. I played a little solo, and it was much better. I dont know about online and if it lags there.


Other than that, the game is fun, the story is good, the characters are funny. The segway from 2/Presequel - 3 is good. It's pretty light so you can put it down easily and jump back in later. This probably benefits the replayability after you beat the game to keep playing. I would recommend playing this gane, although I've only played and beat the Presequel and B2 once each, so im not oversaturated with the franchise myself.

You could probably wait awhile before getting it. Nothing game-changing about it, just a few tweaks and upgrades to the gameplay, and of course the graphics.

Great detail. Thank you so much. I'll probably take your advice and grab it once the price comes down.

I'm know I'm late to the party, but Rise of the Tomb Raider is excellent. I'm probably 2/3 of the way through and it's tough to put the controller down.
