So after borrowing my sons Xbox I have been playing Modern Warfare killing time whilst recuperating from operation.
Love the original COD + Black Op's but boy have they moved on.
PC and Xbox play on the same servers and PC players kick ass all the while.
Cannot play the Battle royal as the thumbs not dextrous enough and get my ass kicked all the while. Like Plumber as at least I can move around the outskirts of the game to "Plunder", becoming very quickly decent at this( until i try to shoot someone).
Passes the days until I can back on my feet fully.

PC has more precision by default, controller can never match it. It's partially combatted by "aim assist", which PC players despise.

I can usually jump either way, but Mass Effect felt like poo on 360, and I loved it on PC.

As for the MW, I loved COD 4 and MW2, but I've never even played 3.

I've got black ops for the 360, but I've never played it, maybe I should dust that machine off.

Never really enjoyed the MP component, I'm more of a story player. I remember with MW2 in specific, being annoyed that the multiplayer and single player were separate clients, but you couldn't just buy the one you wanted.

Never realized it was the single player experience that would end up on the chopping block.

Son advised me the same ref PC precision and can see why they win so much, although my daughter during lock down learnt and can waste a lot of people playing MW.
Also still occasionally play MW2/3 and the Black ops for the Zombies (which is still going strong).
Have tried and enjoy 0 A.D and enjoy post the warfare ( crops and farms management ) but Windows 11 has removed for some reason ???
Of course Medieval Total War on steam

I've been playing a lot of Diablo 3 and just got back into SWTOR. We'll see if it lasts.

I want to, but it just seems so intimidating in this size. I've watched some Twitch streamers playing it and it looks fantastic. I've just never played a Dark Souls-type game before. Also, while "Open worlds" seems like they should be fun,  I get nothing done as I'm constantly distracted by other things.

I named my character Sir Dies A Lot and he does. I've been working since yesterday to get what I need to kill Morgott The Omen King. My grandson gifted me the game. I asked him what I did to piss him off.

My son had talked about this game as he said it was right up my street. He did also say not to expect Dark Soul games to be like Skyrim where you can just crash in and do your thing. He said these games are much harder and you have to really earn your progress.

Not sure that whether that puts me off or makes them more appealing.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

They brought back the pain.

I read somewhere the reason regenerating health came in vogue is that the red cross got really shitty about health pickups having their symbol on it.

I don't mind outrageous difficulty in games, but I will always resent a timer countdown. I'll take an enemy that regenerates eight times, growing ever faster, over a damn "get to the docks in 90 seconds" quest.

I hadn't realised that Conquest of Eo had been released and I'm sorely tempted.

It's one of those cases of "somebody stop meee!"

I got the Yak pack on GOG when it went DRM free and went on steep discount, but I haven't played much.

The plot is nice and convoluted, but most of the gameplay is running down sidewalks and punching people. Further, it keeps chastising me for using mouse and keyboard. At least once per session a screen pops up, interrupting gameplay, saying "Real Yakuza use controllers".

I don't actually know where my 360 controller is right now. I don't think I could play yakuza with my SNES controller. (I have a usb adapter for it. Super Smartjoy)


Conquest is currently on 33% discount on steam.

I'd forgotten I bought The Fallen God expansion so I thought I'd play that to loosen up.

It's amazing how you can completely, and I mean COMPLETELY forget how to play a game once you stop.

You were eaten by a grue.

Was that actually a line in Zork?
