I've just been playing Civ 6 this weekend. I've also been debating getting the Civ 6 Anthology upgrade DLC that's currently on sale on the eShop or just stick with the base game for now until I understand the game better, which is probably what I'm going to do.

All halo all the time and loving it. Should be ending it soon.

Saw spiderman and holy shit what a movie!!! The nailed it, most emotional MCU movie I would say. Also in rewatching matrix in prep for Matrix 4. Hawkeye has been great as well. So much content.

I bought Saints Row 4 and Roki, which is an adventure game.

There are other games I want more, but I'm waiting on a deeper discount.

Eastward and Road 96 will be mine someday.

Spent the weekend playing Asphalt 9, Animal Crossing and Crysis 2.

Crysis 2 has an audio bug, which has only happened twice. The sound effects and/or voices disappear and all you can hear is the music. It either fixes itself eventually or you can reload the last checkpoint.

I've been playing NMH3.  It's gotten slightly less bad.

There are some sensible design choices made to stream the experience over that of the predecessors, but I'm not sure if they improve it, or just streamline it.  There's also a lot of modern day gameplay tropes that can luckily be ignored for the most part, like the equivalent of gemming.  Regular combat has been confined to small seperate arena's which also allow you to earn money to fight te bosses.  Because of this the side jobs like mining or gathering trash have become nearly totally optional since you can just earn cash by doing battles.  On the other hand, because of this there is no build up to the bosses.  You just earn the cash, watch a cutscene and fight them.  It also means that enemies always look the same which lets the repetitiveness of it all shine through even brighter.

I'm happy to say that the bosses aren't all badly designed aliens.  A number of them so far have been killed off before you reach them, letting you fight human bosses that have proven to be slightly more interesting.  But hey, the last boss I fought was a combination of a rythm game and musical chairs, so litteraly anything goes in this game.

The Matrix 4 was quite enjoyable.  I think the fight choreography was too slow compared to tge originals and that "Rage" song at the end was atrocious.

Government just decided that cinema's need to close on the 26th and the Matrix4 is releasing here on the 24th. A shame as me and my wife wanted to go see it.

I’m just going to wait and get the blu-ray of Matrix 4 and new Spider-Man movie. Really looking forward to both.

I'm going to watch The Matrix 4 this evening. My sister watched it this afternoon and said it was awesome. I can't wait. Happy

So against my better judgement I bought Tomb Raider: The Official Cookbook and Travel Guide. Surprisingly it's not bad. The recipes are more approachable than the ones in the Final Fantasy XIV cookbook.

I enjoyed The Matrix 4 but it didn't have the same feel as the earlier films. One particular character didn't work at all for me.

No. Never really intended to keep it long term. I have plenty games to play that I already own. I'll sign every once in a while when a big game comes out instead of paying $70.
