The Miscellaneous PC & vidya Games Thread

Disco Elysium is a trip. I appreciate a game that implores my character that he should just fucking kill himself 

I first played this back when it got released. I died on the second day. I started playing it again recently and my second playthrough is completely different. Hopefully I don't die on the second day again.

Loved that game.

I'd argue it's the best written game in a literary sense, in a Kerouac/Hunter S. Thompson kind of way.

It's been sitting in my account for a while, but I installed AssCreed: Oranges. Didn't start the campaign yet, but roamed around a bit in tourist mode. The map is a whole lot larger than expected. And I'm surprised by the fidelity of the environment and locations. Easily on par with GTA5 if not beyond it. And I love the Ptolemaic Greco-Egyptian mix.

It was really good looking.

It is one of the few, since the ones set in Rome, that I felt compelled to finish all the way to the end.

I played the pirate one for a while, but I got tired of all the jumping around and shit so I stopped.

I bounced off hard of all AssCreed games before Origins, but I really liked that one, first one I completed (with the rest I don't think I ever got past the earliest stage). Odyssey is awesome as well and overall better but that's why you should first play Origins

Maybe I'll give them another shot.  Story-wise, I really enjoyed Pirates of the Assassin's Creed or whatever it was called.

From what I understand, Origins and Odyssey are more like your usual open world games, but in one of the best environments with the most historical flavor. It's why I'm cagey about the new one, because it seems like Hollywood Viking stuff, and the setting isn't as intriguing to me as the time of Caesar and Cleopatra in Egypt or Greece during the Peleponnesian War.

I've been wanting to play Origins/Odissey for a while, but I have way too many games in my backlog. I greatly enjoyed the AssCreed II games mostly for their settings and the tourism factor.

Yes essentially they are Far Cry: Ancient Egypt and Far Cry: Ancient Greece. But they are still awesome.

And they are in third person.

As Shelf mentioned, it could just as easily be Unitarians.  If they wanted to specify Christianity, they could have, but chose not too because they don't have a backbone.

There's no real need, imho.  I can guess what they are, but it's really irrelevant, anyway.  I don't expect a multinational corporation to take any risks.  Like, say, having the hero participate in a terrorist attack organized by radical muslims...  Been there, done that.  I guess that's the reason most call of duty games are now strictly MP.

Donkey Kong did not kidnap your girlfriend and drugged her because he thought he was "saving" her

Isn't that the plot of King Kong, presumably the inspiration for Donkey Kong?  Without the drugging of course.

He kidnaps your gf like King Kong did, because he kinda likes her.
