Adding on to this I heartily recommend MGS V. It is the culmination of the MGS formula in a mostly open world. While I love Kojima’s bullshit, the previous MGS games had deep mechanics that you rarely got to play with because most the games were movies with an occasional game.

The story is kind of all over the place but the gameplay more then makes up for for it.

@ono It’ll be interesting to see if the quality remains high throughout the whole experience, which is supposedly very long.

FFXVI, some Battlebit with a friend, and got a couple hours of Baldur’s Gate 3 in today. Looking forward to BG3 release next month and wrapping up FFXVI within the next week.

Tentatively excited for CS2. Put a lot of time in the first game but after initial learning you really needed mods to make it interesting. It also wasn’t that great of a sim. Paradox’s DLC strategy is also abysmal, I see the first “expansion” is bridges and ports. I haven’t been able to find any information on what is in the expansion.

They just needed to put out more maps at SOME point. FPS live and die by the maps. Granted, the game had a lot of other problems but this was the biggest one for me.
