I'm up to over 40 hours on AC Odyssey. I don't think I've played the game the most efficient way and it's starting to become kind of a grind, but still having fun with it.

Not good

Dan Houser, the co-founder of Rockstar Games and head writer on games like Bully, Red Dead Redemption, and Grand Theft Auto, is leaving Rockstar and Take-Two Games in March. News of the departure comes from a Take-Two Interactive SEC report.

Just finished up a back-to-back playthrough of all 4 Uncharted core titles. As good as the epilogue was the first time around, it was that much more satisfying after this go through. A masterful series, and a perfect coda. When a game as solid and tight as Drake's Deception is the weak link in the series, you're living life right, Naughty Dog.

At this point, it kinda feels like Nintendo is laughing at everyone

PUBG announced a team death mode while COD announced a battle royale mode. Makes sense.

Look at this sorcery in Zelda, I wish I had the skills to fight like this

So my wife mentioned last week she wanted to play Roller Coaster Tycoon again. It's something she loved playing when she was younger. I found it for 6$ on steam including expansion packs. I installed it Saturday for her. She did warn me that she would play it alot, but holy crap she is addicted. I think between Saturday/Sunday she probably played it for like 8-10 hours. I'm not complaining cause I got to log some good hours into the PS4 for once, but I joked I may have to put a lock down on the PC to get her away from it haha.

I used to LOVE RCT. Which version is she playing?

[Kane]

Deluxe, most likely. I, too, have that on Steam.

[skullman80]

Yeah it is the Deluxe version. It looks just like it did back in the 90's from what I have seen. She was off on Monday and when I came home form work I asked her how many hours she put in to RCT. She looked at me and was like "I didn't play it thaaatttt much". I was like that's a lie. She was like... "3 hours.. maybe 4 or 4 and a half"

I think I've created a monster. She keeps telling me that she warned me she would get addicted to it.

[nocera]

Deluxe is RCT 1, correct? I was always partial to RCT 2. The jump to 3D/first person perspective was pretty great in RCT 3, too, but it just didn't have that same magic.

Yeah RCT 1. That is the one she wanted and remembered playing. I'm not even going down the road of sequels at this point haha.

https://openrct2.org/ is free, apparently. Haven't tried it yet, though.

We visited EPCOT Center the month it opened in 1982 or 1983, whatever it was. In the CommuniCore pavilions they had these rudimentary touchscreen games you could play where you could use a wire-frame graphics to build a roller coaster, then preview the ride from the POV of the first car. That was a ton of fun.

[Morkle]

I have RCT Classic on my iphone. It's a straight port of the PC game, and I play it pretty heavily when I get bored. Love that game.

[the wicked child]

Decided to pick up the botw dlc. Only thing I really did so far to grab the travel medallion, but it already came in handy while I was clearing the koroks around the forgotten shrine.

Killed a few lynels the past couple days.. Really still trying to get the timing down there for the stuns, but kinda cool to mark that off the list.

[skullman80]

I looked on steam today and she has 21 hours in on RCT since Saturday afternoon/evening haha.

[Dickie Dunn]

Please let this happen.

[nocera]

I wouldn't be surprised if they bring it back and make every single famous boxer only available via DLC.

[the wicked child]

Last night's ridiculous botw moment... I was in the midst of one of those magnesis block puzzles, basically at the top of the map nw of death mountain.

I see some skeleton moblins climbing out of the ground so I drop the block and draw my weapon... Then realize oh ****, that's the hammer I was using for ore smashing, so I switch back to a proper weapon...

But before I could react, **** hits me with a two hander hard enough to launch my ass over the cliff like a **** baseball.

Landed way down and thankfully had Mipha's Grace active at the time.

Anyone ever have an Xbox One just not send a video signal? Doesn’t matter which hdmi cable I use or where I plug it in, it powers on but no hdmi signal appears to be sent. If I plug it into my receiver, the hdmi label flickers constantly. Trying to find a phone number for support has been fun, too.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Every so often the signal won't get to my monitor but if I wiggle the cable a bit it comes through. Seems more to be a poor design on the monitor rather than the Xbox, HDMI shouldn't wiggle side to side imo.

[NTP66]

Definitely not the issue here. Couldn’t even get it to boot to low res mode, so Xbox support is sending me a ups label to ship it back for repair/replacement. This thing has only been powered on a dozen times in total, so this is a little worrisome for me.

I would buy it and beat Lewis senseless with Klitchko like he did in the title fight where he got **** over.

Yikes, definitely haven't seen that. I have an Xbox 1 X, I think from around the original release date.
