Games Complete #18

XCom 2

Familiar territory here as I nailed the reboot a few years back. Harder perhaps, but as fun? The flow of the game is a bit all over the shop. Still, it’s a fan pleaser and a quality strat title. Was going to play War of the Chosen, but other games have come to the fore.

Zwarte Piet we hardly knew ye.

5's wankery is off the scale.

Regarding 4, sure we get some hills and stuff and rousing Vulcan races etc, but it completely nullifies any escapism aspects of FH. And who benefits? I can't imagine our overseas compatriots wanting to cruise a miniature M1.

Yeah, I get it, but like you say, 4 was dour by default and that did not sit right at all with me.

I really like 3. It's probably my favourite in terms of environment, but it is loud and brash. Kinda like the original thinking about it. 2 was just quietly cool and laid back.

There was something about the south of France setting that hasn’t been captured since. It’s all got a bit OTT if we’re honest.

Only games I might swap around are EA Hockey for NBA Jam and SOR1 for 2.

Majora’s great and all, but there’s only one Ocarina.

I for one am astonished that Davey boy has listened to any of his former wife’s work and not concluded ‘hmm, maybe I’d best stop giving her lyric material.’

Had a similar experience with a Moschino jumper when I was a student in 98. Spent 80 quid on that sucker and wore it so much it turned from grey to green. Assume it was mould or summat.

They did it before with the OG Xbox, but I'm skeptical of this PC-centric approach. I mean, I'd like access to other storefronts, but Windows needs to be totally invisible and reliable on any future Xbox. Not sure modern MS has the chops for that though.
