I hit about 8hrs in FarCry5 before the free weekend finished, I like it well enough to pay the small sale price; also, they had a double-up with the sidequel New Dawn, and also an offer of a further 20% off if I spend some of my 'Uplay Points', which I didn't even know I had. Twenty notes for two fairy long games seems OK to me. A couple of the story missions were a bit poo poo (lord do I ever not want plane dogfighting in a Far Cry game again) but the open world missions are mostly fun and organic in how they unfold.
I gave FC5 a go a few weeks ago and was really surprised how much I liked it, but only managed to keep playing for about 4 hours. What killed it for me was the constant stream of cultists on all the roads who'd immediately start attacking you if so much as your eyebrow stuck out from behind a bush, and the music that is constantly on loop blaring out anywhere near cultist bases, that you can't turn off. Whoever thought that was a good idea is a fucjing idiot and deserves a place in worst of all hells.

if you spend anymore than the absolute minimum of your precious time on this earth doing any more missions than you need to unlock enough of an open-world game to just doss about doing your own thing then you only have yourself to blame

I think so. It also had a cheat code that turned on an MST3K-like screen mask and replaced the dialog with [subtitled] jokes that were actually pretty good

I didn't even find the shooting that great, on controller at least its really sluggish and laggy. oh and the menu lag...literally 2-3 seconds of waiting just switching between tabs in your inventory lol

The enemies all have zero AI whatsoever and are also omniscient so there's not even any fun to be had doing ambushes or running around sneaking up behind them or whatever.

Good game: Wreckfest

Should you want to support Racial Justice and Equality and have at least five dollars spare you can get a bundle of over 740 (!!) works on Itch.io right now.

I've wanted to play Night in the Woods for a while now so that makes this a bargain for me on that note alone.

more poo poo was added to the itch.io bundle in the past day or so

i got ps now on sale and am playing control, which is quite good so far. it’s scp but not too scp and the gameplay a lot of fun too esp. when you can throw all the things and air dash

house of the dying sun was pretty tight. Wasn't it made by just one guy as well? Was a very good proof that a lot of stuff is just bloated by large development teams, this thing oozed more creative feel than a lot of things out there despite being super short.

the shooting got easier to deal with when i figured out all i really wanted was to use the shotgun and just crank it up with weapon damage mods

that plus so much extra health i think i'm triple the base and it lets me get through it and get back to exploring the cool buildings

shooting for me was a secondary weapon to just smashing the poo poo out of enemies with debris and turning them against their allies. the eternal fire monitor furnace unlocked mod for the grip makes it much easier as a stacked midrange
