OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

I got Olise from 10. What did you get?

Oh hell yeah, that’s awesome. Like $1m, I think? I remember almost every pro was using his Thunderstruck card during the Pro Open and I’ve tried him on my brothers account. I assume the GG is even more nuts, especially if you’re good at outside the box finesses. His L1 speed boost is also crazy.

I lucked out and got Drogba. Kinda funny that his two playstyle+’s are what EA nerfed into the ground (headers and power shots) but he’s still absolutely insane. Way better than his stats make it look. I understand the hype from the past 18 months now.

Also, in case you didnt know, if you do an evo that gives a player the Grassroots Great card background then that player also gives +2 chem to club/country/league like the normal GG players. Including evos like the tikitaka+ or +1* weak foot, I believe.

Ooh nice. I have only briefly played a Warhammer 40K game before - Mechanicus, I think? Didn't really enjoy it and abandoned it after half a dozen hours.

But I do like Owlcat's Pathfinder games, and Rogue Trader is turn-based too so definitely excited to give this a try!

What are people’s thoughts on AC Shadows?

I know it’s very popular to hate on Ubisoft (some of its definitely deserved) but I’ve had a bunch of mindless fun with AC games recently (Origins & Odyssey).

depends on if they went back and tightened it up like the early entries or if it is the huge open world of the later entries...origins, odyssey and valhalla were too big for me

I've also had a lot of fun with some Ubisoft games, mainly the Far Cry series (co-op with a buddy), which is all meant to be ridiculous anyway, so causing havoc together is great.

I liked the first 3-4 AC games, then like @trostol , I kinda burned out on the series. Valhalla started off ok, but I remember at one point just feeling like Ubisoft games are now just all the same with a different skin on top. Locked regions you have to "liberate" in some way, and the sheer number of regions with repetitive game mechanics just got to me and I gave up on Valhalla. Way too big and too little variety.

I may try Shadows if it goes on sale at some point, because I heard it's going back to its roots as sealth / assassin focused, which would be great. That's what got me into the series in the first place.
