PS2 Backlog Committee

Played: Mass Effect: Andromeda

Finished: Nothing

Playing: Mass Effect: Andromeda

I'm still playing Mass Effect: Andromeda, and finally seeing an end in sight in terms of side content. So I might be able to start focusing on the main story soon. Like argyle said about Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, massive game is massive.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown comes out next week:

Games added: Pillars of Eternity, Super Chariot

Last week: Finished nothing, played AC Odyssey and a little bit of Battle Princess Madelyn and Enter the Gungeon

This week: More Odyssey - working on winding it down but we'll see how that goes. Also more Madelyn on the Switch.

Finished: Nothing

Now Playing: Assassin's Creed: Origins

Added to Backlog: Nothing

Current Backlog: 33 games

Decided to start Ass Creed: Origins and it's fun so far. I don't feel like an assassin as in the other games, but I'm only around the 10 hour mark...it's still early.

Played last week: Red Dead Redemption II

Finished: nothing

Added to backlog: nothing

Current backlog: 35 (14 PS4, 8 Vita, 6 3DS/2DS, 5 PS2)

Wash rinse repeat. I'm at 50% now, still having a great time. Maxed out gambling this week.

Man, your Arthur looks very clean. I was rocking a level 9 fork goatee & level 9 stache for most of the game, it looked awesome.

I briefly skimmed some video reviews of both Assassin's Creed: Origins, and Odyssey. Based on what I saw, Origins looks like AC in ancient Egypt while Odyssey doesn't really look like AC at all. After ten AC games all offering a similar formula, I'm glad that Odyssey seems to get away from the same old design structure of the series and is something more of its own just keeping the AC theme.

That's not my Arthur, just a random image of him winning. I love that shit-eating grin.

I've started up Wolfenstein The New Order and Onrush.

Wolfenstein has been really enjoyable in the early going with an interesting twist and surprisingly enjoyable narrative for an FPS. The gunplay has been very enjoyable as well.

Onrush is kind meh. Not bad, but I don't think I'll count it as one of my favorite racers.

Yeah, and then it goes south when it changes from cool scripted corridor shooter to more open stealth arena shooter IMO. That's when I stopped playing, because I don't like that type of design structure for first person shooters.

Well, I guess I'll see how it goes for me. Hopefully I continue to enjoy it.
