The Video Game Thread

That's why I want to play. Very realistic looking. Some guys get sick when they first start.

Motion sickness I presume, haven't had that playing a video game in decades

Yeah I don't think I've ever experienced that on a normal game.

VR? That's a totally different story, especially any game where you're flying/moving around a lot. You have to condition yourself to withstand motion sickness.

Don't remember the game, was the late 90s and a console game first person view I'm sure

Yeah, some have the VR headset and the cockpit chair that actually moves. Crazy how much it can cost.

After going back and forth I

I bought it and would say it is basically Valhalla with a different story and backdrop and not as big of a game. The visuals are fantastic and well done, the story is pretty meh to me and the combat is really just more of the same with different weapon types. They changed some of the side quests, but I didn't find any of the side games compelling and ended up putting them on auto because they did nothing to enhance the game play.

I am 20 hours in and have lost interest, it feels like more of a chore than a fun experience to me. After playing Sekiro, Elden Ring, Lies of P, War of God, Ghost of Tsushima, Black Myth Wukong, etc. it is hard to get into combat that is a decade old.

To me Ubisoft is basically using the same formula as EA Sports with games like Madden. Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage are all pretty much the same thing with some tweaks here and there, the game is bloated, and it takes a while to level up in order to encourage microtransactions. It is not a bad game, for me it just falls flat.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I’ll be waiting for it to come out on gamepass before I play. Rather than pay extra $ for it.

Rumor is the Oblivion remake could drop this week

Would be nice, Oblivion is my second favorite Elder Scrolls game behind Morrowind. And if memory serves correct the first game to sell DLC, horse armor. Hope it is on PC otherwise time to get a new Xbox

I would think it would definitely be PC

A remake or Morrowind would be fantastic.

I wonder if that will be in the cards if Oblivion is successful. Bethesda themselves aren't going the remakes. Im not sure if its Nixx or a different studio

Some great memories in my playthroughs of Morrowind. For example once my character caught a disease out in the wild, had no cure, no strength. Had to strip him down to his underwear searching town to town for a cure. This little Fiasco took several hours

That was one the downsides of Skyrim. Stuff like that was too. Within a few hours you have enough Cure Disease potions to last you for the rest of the game

Dang the Switch 2 prices are insane. 449.95 or 499.99 with the Mario kart bundle. But 80 bucks for individual games is crazy.

Of course I just registered for a pre-order invite on Nintendos site. The scalpers are going to be out in full force with this one.

Walking to a new town could take hours.

Ya Scalpers suck, i remember camping out at Best Buy when the PS2s came out. 12 hour overnight wait, each customer got 1 ticket=1 console. Best Buy provided donuts and pizza. My how times have changed.

O for sure, easily got several; hundreds on Xbox/PC. Never forget going north out of Seyda Neen and seeing/hearing the wizard falling from the sky.

$90 for physical games that are just a card with a key on it.
