Congrats on finishing it BK. Did you ever feel you got great at the combat, like figured it out. Haved you tried mercenaries. I enjoyed Jake and Chris more than Leon. Ada is meh and it is part of the game. The game is a mess but a pretty cool action game mess.

I'm actually enjoying the game, it is entertaining. But I can't say it's good. Chris is the best campaign so far. Jakes is okay so far. I have gotten better at combat but it took a long time to get to the point of diving into cover and doing rolls etc effectively. Even did a remote bomb slide. Problem still persists that the camera isn't tied to your back like Re4 and re5 so you just lose position and have to manually spin the camera around. Even with motion controls there are cheap unfair enemies that move too fast or too erratically to hit reliably. I've also been playing Re4, about 14 hours in, at the castle now. It's still great but not as great as originally as the newer games have upped the spectacle. However there is always enough ammo and it always feels fair, there isn't an excess of cheap deaths. Playing a GC game in HD on a portable in bed is amazing, I wish I could have my whole collection on this thing. Back to re6 it seems to sabotage itself, you walk 10m have a cutscene and repeat. It's these moments when they wrestle control away from me that frustrate. Also the excessive qtes, Chris boss fight, wtf?

Travo are you back teaching yet? I was just curious how it was going. My son is restarting virtual school today, but with a different model than we had back in the spring. It's more of a hybrid so that it can accommodate kids who actually are attending as well as the ones who are doing distance learning. Are you guys doing something like that or is it still just strictly virtual?

  I would be but our governor screwed things up by announcing he wanted everyone to start around Labor Day.  My wife's district is doing the hybrid model, but we are not. Teachers start next week then the children return the following week, five days a week. They also have a virtual option if they choose. I'll be on a cart, moving from class to class.  The children will stay in one classroom all day, working, eating lunch. The classroom is going to look like one from thirty years ago with desks lined up in a row.  I will wear a face shield in the classroom and a mask in the hallway.  Every morning, I will be out front welcoming children and taking their temperature.

  My son is starting sixth grade and is doing it all online.  My daughter will do two days a week at school and the other three online, hybrid model. We felt that she would do better with some face to face instruction.  

  My feeling is that the five day a week model will not last long once while classrooms go into quarantine.  We will see.

[vg247.com]Microsoft isn't trying to out sell Sony and Nintendo vg247.com

Well in that case they're doing a spiffing good job.  yes

In all seriousness, I think they have a good approach, just allowing as many people as possible to play your games, where, lets face it, the real money is.  The risk is that in time, this could make their console hardware redundant.  Wether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your point of view I'd say.

[gonintendo.com]Skyward Sword Switch listed on Amazon gonintendo.com

I'd love for that to be a remaster where the whole game has the same accomplished impressionist look as some of the cutscenes.  It's clear that that's what they were going for, but couldn't pull off on the Wii.

[vg247.com]The Witcher 2 is $5 on Xbox One vg247.com

There are some good deals to be had on Xbone at the moment.  I've been thinking of getting Dishonored.  I own the sequel and also have not played that, so adding and not playing the original is the only sane thing to do.

Yeah pretty big sale happening there right now. Not sure if I really want to add to my backlog right now but it is pretty tempting.

[gonintendo.com]Xenoblade Future Connected accolades trailer gonintendo.com media

Strange that this is 'news'.  Isn't the Future Connected bit included in the Remaster?  I'm currently on the end stretch of Xenoblade Chronicles.  I'll probably take some time off and play something else before returning to the new content

Yeah it is included in the remaster. I played some of it after finishing the main game but took a break so that I could play through Dragon Quest XI. I’ll return to it after I finish DQXI.
