Been playing a ton of Apex Legends. I've plateaued in the Diamond Rank, it's a struggle getting positive points now lol.
 
Kind of surprised how Control is popping up on some GOTY lists. That one flew under the radar for me. I need to check that out.

The Witcher series got released on Netflix. Is it safe to watch? Or will it spoil stuff?

I have only watched the first episode so far, but what I had read was that it was based on the books rather than directly echoing the structure of the games. So watching the show will introduce many of the same characters and settings, but not direct story moments from the games. At least that is how I understand it - and first episode confirms that.
 
Just turned my Xbox on, for the first time in almost a year. So, about to try to finish Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

PS: For the past year, I have been playing games via my PC. So, this will be bloody interesting using a controller. LOL
 
Just finished Oceanhorn 2 on :apple: Arcade, and finally started to play Breath of the Wild on my Switch. I also play Spaceland (1-3 missions a day) in between...

Just downloaded State of Decay 2 and unwisely stayed up way past my bedtime (I’m 36) figuring it out. I might be a bit grumpy at this evening’s festivities. 😉 It was fun—if not a bit overwhelming.

Oh my, I can hardly aim with a controller. This is what happens when you've been playing with keyboard and mouse for so long.

The struggle is real...

So true! I picked up an XBOX controller for my PC to play Jedi Fallen Order ... and even though the game was clearly meant for a controller ... my hands were not! But then again it took me a bit to switch to playing FPS games with a mouse!

I’d be interested to know if this game is any good...
I finished it a week ago and enjoyed it overall, but it is a different sort of game. I thought the first third or so (up through "Episode 4") really dragged, but it picks up after that and starts to make more sense.

It has a lot of cutscenes, so sometimes you feel like you are watching a movie with some package delivery in between.

I'd say it is for sure worth the $35 if you can find it for that price.

Haven't played Witcher 3 in a while, but there is enough that is different, that I doubt it would ruin anything. The story is apparently close to the books, than the game.
 
Got a PS4 Pro after my PS4 died. Played through the main story on Horizon Zero Dawn, such a great game. Moving onto Control on my One X next and will be returning to World of Warcraft on Jan 14th. Still got to finish last of us, god of war. Been trying to get into The Witcher 3 but the beginning of the game is slow AF, will try to pick away at it over the holidays.

The beginning of W3 is really slow. It's the longest tutorial ever (I didn't play RDR2). Hang in there. It's so worth it!
 
Just started Death Stranding and holy hell this game is weird. It feels so weird to be controlling Normal Reedus but I'm really enjoying it so far.

Lol, didn't even realize I did that. I like it but so far I'm really confused what I'm supposed to be doing when I encounter BT's.
For the first few chapters, your best way to deal with them is to avoid them completely. Watch your odradek and make sure to crouch and hold your breath as soon as it starts spinning. Later on you'll get a modification to your wristband from Mama to cut their umbilical cords, which allows you to clear areas of BTs and collect chiral crystals at the same time.

Ok, thanks! I'm still in chapter 2 so glad to hear I'm not missing something.
