Gone back to finish off Far Cry: New Dawn this week, after playing around 5 hours a few years back. I’ve always quite liked Far Cry games but I remember not feeling this one too much back in 2020 due to the RPG-lite elements in terms of levelled enemies. I don’t know if it’s just getting back into a Far Cry for the first time in three years, or if the whole levelled enemies thing wasn’t that bad in the first place but I’ve enjoyed it. Finished off the story and most of the side stuff this last couple of days… just a little mopping up left.
Valkyria chronicles is in backlog and has been for a few years, I really should get round to it.
I will remember to use Alicia. 😃
@colonelkilgore I've always liked the Far cry games and did enjoy New Dawn, I think fc5 is my favourite mainly due to the planes. I've yet to play Fc6.
@CaptD yeah I loved 5 too, definitely my favourite of the series… though I would add the the level 3 expeditions in New Dawn have been awesome too. Funny you should mention 6, the only reason I’ve gone back to finish of New Dawn is as I’ve really wanted to get into 6 but not before I’ve taken care of unfinished business. I’ll be well up for some co-op on 6 as and when… if you’re keen 👍
@colonelkilgore Definitely up for that, with Ubisoft games I normally wait for the Gold edition and did actually see a Amazon Germany deal today on a deals website for £20, however with PS++ I'm waiting for it to appear on there as Ubisoft did state that they were going to dump a load of titles on the service.
@Ralizah Yes I’ve found out that out now. It’s a bit annoying because I try to save everyone regardless.
I know that this game is beloved, but it seems like the series has fallen off now. Any reason why? The art style is charming & the gameplay is challenging but fair.

@Fight_Teza_Fight It's hard to shake the feeling that Valkyria Chronicles 4 (which was designed as a companion piece to the original, btw; same war, different perspective) didn't sell as well as SEGA wanted. Which is a shame, because, for me, at least, it took what worked in the original and improved it significantly with some revamped elements. It was my 2018 GOTY, easily.
Before that, they dabbled in truncated handheld entries (one of which was never even officially localized) and weird spinoffs that nobody wanted.
@Kidfried Glad to hear you’re enjoying it! It does have some weird moments and the final chapter is very divisive but I loved it overall and have played through it three times which is unheard of for me these days.
I will use the chance to make the same post I make every few months and say hard mode is where the game really shined for me as it forces you to use all the combat mechanics in the game. On my first run, I pretty much stuck to using Cloud with the occasional input from others but Hard mode makes you utilise every character and really think about how to beat fights.
The DLC is fine but I wasn’t overly impressed with it to be honest.
Had a spare hour after work this evening. So made a start on The Surge 2 and all things considered it seems good so far. Combat is really quite nice, considering I’ve barely scratched the surface as of yet… special mention to the directional parry which works well.
The major takeaway though, if you’re gonna play it boosted on PS5 play it Quality mode as Performance mode as the latter looked bloody awful. Pretty sure that the Quality mode still runs at 60 fps when boosted on PS5 anyway.
A little update on The Surge 2… about 3 hours in now and really liking it. The combat is so much faster than the original. So much so that I thought it was a little too ‘floaty’ initially… but it’s starting to click. Really enjoyed the level design of the Port Nixon area and the Little Johnny boss fight was class, better than all of the first games bosses combined.
Started playing Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China. I've had the trilogy pack in my backlog for probably 7-8 years now so it feels great to finally play through these games. I also haven't played an Assassin's Creed game in quite some time now and there aren't many left for me to play. Even though the Chronicles titles are 2.5D games, they still feel like AC. I'm having a blast playing through China and it's interesting exploring these different settings. Looking forward to playing more soon!
I haven't played a Tekken game since Tekken 5 on PS2 but all those trailers for Tekken 8 has really impressed me and so I decided to give Tekken 7 a shot.
It's ridiculously light on single player content with the arcade mode not having character endings and only a measly 5 battles to it as well.
Haven't touched the actual story mode yet but I've spent quite a bit of time doing "treasure battles" and worked my way up to 4th Dan already with one character.
... And not with a character I was expecting either.
Hwoarang, Eddie, King and especially Yoshimitsu were favourites to play as from previous games (Not that I was any good at them).
But I ended up trying a new character Katarina Alves and goddamn I'm just gelling so much with her Savate fighting style. Her kicks are absolutely devestating and I find she's pretty easy for a newcomer to use.
Really hope she makes the jump to Tekken 8.
... Also why is Lucky Chloë a thing? You have Cyborgs, Ninjas, Robots, The Misihma family and demonic bloodlines, Assassins and all sorts... And then a very "Kawaii" blonde streamer idol girl or something? Like what?!
