I picked the wrong year to quit drinking...
On a serious note. After playing about 5 hours of it today and pushing into England and doing some raiding etc..,AC Valhalla is f***in great. Even on an almost next gen console like the Series X.
My wife is trying to force herself to wait for Xmas for Valhalla. She actually just picked up AC Origins again to finish some stuff. If it was me, I would already be playing.
But I've already got too many games in my rotation right now.
Dirt 5 is pretty amazingly fun.
I'm enjoying Fallen Jedi, now that it is part of EA Play.
I want to spend some time on Deep Rock Galactic, as I think the 4 player co-op looks like a blast.
And SMB3, Madden 21, and NHL 21 are all getting time.
And I need a next gen console to have fun right now? I mean, I would love one, and I am happy for folks that got one and are enjoying the games right now. But I'm not going to go through all the steps needed to get one now, when in a month or two or three, I will walk in and buy one like 90% of gamers will.
Mostly, I'm just excited about my new Tablo DVR. We finally cut the cord all the way, with no streaming cable. I'm going OTA and streaming services like Netflix only. The Tablo connects to your router and antenna, and delivers Live tv and access to recording to any device on the network that has the Tablo app. With Apple TV on Xbox, we just got down to one box under the TV (two if you count the Switch that is sideways and you can't see).
The Xbox now runs 100% of our TV viewing again. I had long ago pulled the TV out of the Xbox, as the pass-through is not 4K. And now, a ton of cable and streaming services just use apps, so MS didn't even need the HDMI In to continue to develop One Guide. Had they continued with One Guide, it would have been where Apple TV is now, and had DVR within it. Don't care about the DVR as much, but I really liked how Apple TV bundles all your streaming options into one interface. The Apple TV app for Xbox does not do this in the same way, so a new One Guide would still be nice.
