sounds like AC3 all over again. Can’t wait to play.

Actually i use both lol but on iPhone i only have access to AdGuard so wasn’t even thinking about ublock

Firefox is my go-to now. I just use Brave if i need a chromium browser. Privacy badger + adguard + little snitch mini + proton VPN as needed. Life’s been good lol

Thanks for the insight this answered a lot of questions re: playing on my deck as well

Fair enough. Also spoiler tag didn’t work lol

Removed it since it could be seen as a spoiler

I don’t think I stopped thinking about that game for a solid three months after I beat it.

I beat Outer Wilds right after my first kid was born and it absolutely tore me to pieces.

What else would you expect from the company that has its app’s video player load every single available resolution simultaneously?

I love the pacing of the missions. They’ve really thought it through, which is not something I see with such flagrant GAAS games. The random mission changes and story elements popping in really keeps the game fresh. Yesterday in the middle of a really heated match against another team, we suddenly got dropped into an arena and all of us had to work together to take down a neo T-Rex. That was so cool and I was not expecting it at all. if that’s the kind of experience I can regularly expect from this game, then they will have my attention at least for a few months.

They are really in your face about buying things, but I am unlocking things at a steady clip so credit where credit is due. You definitely don’t need to buy your way into the game.

Duuude you didn’t do enemy within!?

I found once you got into act four or so of the story the game kind of became a slog, but there are some pretty great moments, and the protagonist is very well done. That being said, I think odyssey revises the changes much better and is just an unbelievable game

Exoprimal. It’s the exact dumb fun I want it to be with its own little sense of humor that actually works somewhat. If you have Gamepass it is a no-brainer. I’m not sure about $60 or $70 or whatever it’s retailing at yet but this will undoubtedly be a game with a huge surge in users when they start selling it for $30 and under. The PvPvE format works very well for it, it gives you a real sense of urgency and has you moving very quickly. Gives the fights and deaths real stakes that aren’t just resetting progression or something.
