I think I'm ready for a new AC game.... Ancient Egypt is going to be a great setting.

10 GB For Honor update is out today.

Ubisoft games are so meh. They do a great job at taking interesting concepts and locations and turning them into slogs lacking any personality or gameplay variety.

exhibit A = Tom Clancy's The Division, the trailer was more fun than any of the gameplay they created.

I freaking love For Honor. Gameplay hasn't gotten stale for me after 80 hours. The biggest (IMO only) issue with the game is the shit stability. It crashes way too much.

Do y'all even parent, bros? Where do you find the time to spend on something like Witcher?

Can't really comment on For Honor since I haven't played it. Was talking more about the AC and Far Cry series. Each sequel is the same game mechanically with a new coat of paint, a new set of boring characters and a ton of the same mindless sidequests that serve only as padding for your playtime.

Yeah I've never looked at my stats before. I always assumed "I could never spend 100 hours on a game like The Witcher," but I'm at 225 hours on Overwatch, 80 hours on For Honor, 67 hours on Battlefront, and 22 hours on LEGO Star Wars.

LOL!

Just having fun... I'm in the same boat really. It IS hard to find time and I DO typically avoid games like Witcher because of the time involved. I got Witcher because it was on sale and I remember Whiskey and others ergasiming over it. I figure I can find time for one of these massive games every year or two.

My roommate is an alcoholic hermit. He plays an incredible amount of video games.

I just looked at his steam account a couple days ago, and he has logged more hours on about ten games than I've logged on any game on steam(around 250 hours on Red orchestra 2, came out in 2011).

So remember, you can always be worse.

i have the BF1 companion app and it tells me how many hours i've logged in game, sometimes i'd rather not know tbh :/

Only 22 hours on LEGO Star Wars?

As long as it's not taking priority over the things in your life that actually matter, it's a pretty harmless way of diverting our competitive instincts. I don't apologize for gaming.

Yeah there's a window of time between when my daughter goes to bed and my wife does whatever takes 45 minutes to do in the shower. Not much better to do.

Crusader Kings 2 might become a full blown addiction if I learn how not to fail at it completely.

Maybe you are playing too many video games.

I missed this the other day, but boy am I hype.

I researched some supposed developer leaks from Reddit/4chan, and the game sounds nice. They are trying to eliminate the repetitive parts, so there's a new method of map discovery (though it will be repetitive no matter what, in some ways), and there will be a renewed focus on the modern-day gameplay, where it sounds like you get to do a bit more modern-day exploring to coincide with the historical storyline. There's a lot more to be excited about, aside from the badass setting (duh), but those first two points have me jacked up.

It supposedly takes place during the 5th dynasty (Old Kingdom), so the ancient Pyramids are relatively fresh, but that also eliminates some other interesting settings that don't come until much later.

However, there are rumors that the game is the first in a new trilogy, and the second game supposedly takes place in Greece. The main character is apparently the MC in the second game of the trilogy, so that means the Trojan War is out as a backdrop (unless the dude finds a Piece of Eden that prolongs his life), which is kind of a bummer. Also not sure what kind of landmarks were around in Greece at the time, but I don't think any of the "notable" ones would be in existence yet, so I'm curious as to how they make that setting exciting/relatable.

My hope for the new trilogy is that they somehow go from Ancient Eygpt Old kingdom like you mentioned. then flash forward 1000 years and do Ancient Greece, and then flash forward anther 1000 years and do Ancient Rome. And then end the damn thing. If they did that I would be happy. Even though I really want a Japan setting, I just dont think they will ever make it. So if they end it with this Trilogy of antiquity settings I would be super happy.
