Been playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider for a few weeks on and off, think I'm around halfway through the main story by now. Although tbf it's basically Lara Croft: Mass Murderer, she's a straight-up psychopath by now.

I've been playing Tonight We Riot on the Switch.
Obviously as a game about fighting dumb riot cops and the capitalist system (with a guest appearance by Riot Dog) the theme will meet with favour on Urban. It's a good game as well though - the presentation is great but there's a big element of skill alongside the Cannon Fodder-style side-scrolling action. Your only metric of success is how many of your comrades survive, so while you can sometimes just bash through, it's best to try to approach things tactically. Molotovs, for instance, tend to be a bit counter-productive in close quarters, but are good against vehicles (especially when someone has left a gas cylinder nearby - definitely don't let your comrades hang around near those). A hail of bricks seems to work well in most circumstances, but it is possible to run out of bricks.
Also, your effectiveness is greatly increased when you have a lot of people. You normally outnumber the cops, but a poor decision like charging them while watercannons are shooting can mean you lose that advantage even if you beat them, and then you are quite fucked for the next encounter.

Picked up Death Stranding the other day when it was on sale. It's very weird.

I dread to think what I racked up on Civ 4. A thousand hours would be pretty conservative I think.

I cannot imagine this is a serious question!
Brand new this century!

You may laugh, but a new updated ps5 version is coming soon. Also apparently GTA online is coming free to PS5 users

Island in the stream.
That is correct. You may find that some others deny your discovery but that's just because they don't have a Switch.
for them YAY! for you and your daughter.A few thou on Destiny. No regrets.
Encased is one of those games where there is something missing. I think it's most of the fun. I like it but my god does it drag very little out for very long. Get on with it, for the love of fairies, get on with it!

Just finished Shadow of Mordor. I know I am 7-8 years to late but I really enjoyed it. It's made me want to listen to audio books of LOTR so think I'll get around to that at some point and will probably get the sequel next.
Going to get a Mario game on the Switch next.
Still playing a lot of Football Manager and also planning my next CK3 play-through.

Finished the main story arc. Very enjoyable. Will probably carry on messing around in the city.
Have downloaded soul calibre vi.
I’m currently subscribed to game pass but if I’m honest it’s getting difficult to choose stuff I want to play. I’ve either got it on disc already (picked up cheaply) or there is an upgraded X/S version so will hold off playing it until I eventually get one. Will definitely let the sub expire in august (was a 3 month code obtained cheaply via hotukdeals) got purely to play gta v as it’s price never really comes down and didn’t expect to get through it as quickly as I did tbh but was great fun was difficult to put down.
Not like I don’t have a huge pile of shame to get through anyway. Although again a few of those have now had X/S enhancements
Really want to hold off on a series X until bundles become available which I guess won’t be anytime soon.

Always thought the soul caliber games were better 3d fighters than virtua fighter or Tekken.

Phoenix Point One Year Edition . Once you get into this it’s good . Bit of a juggle about time, resources, building basis , stealing from or allying with factions but it’s worth getting into and learning from the game mechanics .

So many particulars. So many questions.
Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast was one of its best games. I got VI recently, need to replace my fucked controller though.

That's the one that's basically xcom right?
