    Assassins Creed Odyssey
    It's fine, mostly, until the fucking thing stutters or freezes or crashes on you. Just got through a hard fort without detection, after 5 tries, and it froze. The loading times along with it are trying my patience.

    With RE2 Remake coming out tomorrow, I decided to finish up RDR2. I started Chapter 4 a couple days ago and am now I'm on part 2 of the epilogue. Apparently the game has missable missions, so getting 100% is out the window if I ever decided to come back and work on some achievements.

    You know Oddessy is the first time since 2 that I’ve wanted to play an AssCreed game because branching path RPG in Ancient Greece sounds fucking awesome but they keep just making baffling decisions.

    Origins I felt was the best AC game since II. Ancient Egypt is freaking amazing.

    I did get Odyssey for Xmas, but I probably won't be playing it for a while with RE2 out tomorrow and I still have Spider-Man to play.

    Not quite. The missable missions are not required for 100% completion.

    Unless you mean 100% by trophies/achievements.

    Got Game Pass for a month for a buck.

    Trying Shantae and DOOM. (I know, I know different ends of the spectrum. LOL)

    The Shantae games are lovely looking side-scrollers and a nice throwback to the days of old, just a nice visit to my youth. A lot of fun, too!

    Speaking of fun... DOOM is crazy, crazy fun. The glory kills (I think they're called that) are a lot of awesome and I love watching them blast into pieces. I get this dumb giddy smile every time.

    So I saved up the last two weeks for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D on 3DS
    Powered through the first two dungeons (I came ready to bomb some Dodongos!) Now I'm at lord Jabu-Jabu. I'm ready to be done with Lord Jabu-Jabu

    Jabu Jabu is easily my least favorite area of the game.

    Pokemon X: Leveling for the Elite 4. Caught an Alomamola, Druddigon and traded off a fresh caught Lickitung. (What sucky Pokemon they are.) Trying to evolve my Kirlia. Haven't decided which mon to take for the grand finale.

    I hate the Forest Temple, and especially Phantom Ganon.

    I found Phantom Ganon quite easy, though, I also fight him standing up so I can use the DS' tilt function to quickly spin around while aiming the bow.

    That's what I did too. It took me at least twenty tries to beat that dungeon. I hate Phantom Ganon.

    Started Resident Evil 2 Re-imagined (I'm not calling it a remake because the makers themselves said it wasn't) with Claire A. Now the gameplay does feel reminiscence to how Resident Evil Remake went like with changing stuff to foo veteran players while making it familiar enough for them to not get too alienated.

    Still, some stuff do bother me like using darkness as a cheap way to have zombies sneak up on you, the zombies themselves being bullet-sponges and the fact that you don't have a knife as a permanent melee weapon that gets a limited use and wastes an item slot that would've been better for an important item. The gunpowder is okay to have, but I'd preferred to have normal ammunition to have around instead of making needing to have two gunpowder jars to make the necessary rounds.

    After three tries, I finally got Epona.
    I've gotten halfway through the fire temple

    Azure Striker Gunvolt: I'm leveling up, taking on challenges, searching for jewels and synthing equipment. Finally got through Merak's annoying stage. He was...awfully easy. I've only got one boss to go.

    I finished Super Mario Bros U Deluxe. Browser wasn’t that difficult (in comparison to the Wii version) but was fun nevertheless. Overall, a nice revisit to the 2D Mario games.

    About to start my fourth Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition playthrough, since there's always some important time-sensitive event I miss (thankfully it "only" takes around 10-ish hours to do a playthrough when you have endgame weapons/armor, 10x experience, and skip all the cutscenes).

    But seriously, why does one of the post-game dungeons have a pre-post-game-only requirement for accessing it?

    I had no idea there was another new New Mario Bros type game out. I thought the last one was the one for the Wii U.

    MK9 and MKX in preparation for 11.

    It's surreal knowing Skarlet's gonna go from screaming skimpy slaughterer to a sophisticated sadistic slaughterer.
