K-k-k-k-YEAH

Started a new playthrough of Far Cry 6 since I never got to finish it when it came out. The story is a little heavy-handed but serviceable, and there is some dimensionality to the characters that helps keep things interesting, like I actually care about what’s happening. The game is also really good about not railroading you through the story, you can choose when you start story missions, and there’s three branches of storyline for most of it so you can play in whatever order you want, or just ignore it completely - I spent about 10 straight hours of gameplay just doing random side quests and looking for collectibles, it’s a huge improvement on the Far Cry 5 story/missions.

The gunplay feels really satisfying, and there’s a ton of different equipment options so you can really play whatever style you want. Stealth is really fun but not completely OP, you still have to be really deliberate and careful. You can switch between pretty much any of your weapons/gear, so you always have a ton of options, but it also feels kind of OP, especially later in the game.The difficulty options are pretty good too, it doesn’t feel like higher difficulty = everybody is a bullet sponge.

The movement and especially climbing mechanics are kind of clunky but it doesn’t take too much away from the gameplay overall. The open world is huge and there’s a lot to see and explore if that’s your thing, and it feels very lived in, it doesn’t feel like a vast expanse of nothing.

I wasn’t giving any advice, I was making an observation on what I’ve seen, please don’t equate the two.

It is when you don’t go to the good schools, it depends almost entirely on your economic class. The better the area you live in, the better public schools tend to be or you’re more likely to be able to afford a private school where they actually educate you. My wife went to a super ghetto high school and they didn’t teach those kids shit except to shut up and do what your authority figures tell you to do, and pretty much everyone I’ve known from poorer areas had about the same experience. In America you’re not likely to get a real education unless you or your local taxes can pay for it.

I hate myself so looks like I just came up on $150k

Growing up we had two roosters called Rufus and Roscoe. Human names for chickens is funny and I’m sorry but I have to agree with your wife too

He look like sticc

I love how in both releases they somehow found it absolutely necessary to include the creepy clown face.

Who else out here still watching on DVD?

Nah, most things in life don’t have to be either flawless or complete garbage with no in between. There’s plenty of movies and shows I watch for the writing or acting, and the sound is not going to make or break the experience. Being 100% unable to enjoy anything if it’s not absolutely perfect seems like a pretty bleak way to go through life, I try to find enjoyment where I can.

I saw Magnolia Park a couple months ago, one of the coolest shows I’ve ever been to

That is really cool and the PDA screen is such a cool effect!

Yes please

I want this as the voice on my GPS

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

I’d also recommend Saints Row 2 and 3. It starts off pretty normal but you get OP pretty fast to the point where you’re like an unstoppable force of nature, it becomes completely gratuitous and over the top. Pretty decent character customization as well.

Sucker Punch was really underrated, I thought it was pretty good, overall. I thought the way they had the fantasy sequences line up with real-world events was pretty neat.

I can’t think of any specific books/series since it’s not really my thing, but there’s a specific genre called ‘cozy mysteries’ that’s along those lines

The fact that the follow up is the next day is what really makes this

Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
