The driving in all Ubi games are godawful.
Far Cry
Watch Dogs
Tom Clancy

For some reason they think that the left, right turning buttons need to have a dual functionality as a throttle.
Even if you release the throttle, if you turn the car will speed up instead of gradually slow down. Drives me nuts.
Driving is pretty good in The Crew.

Finished Far Cry 6. As fun as all FC games are the driving mechanics after six installment is still schit!
Didn't mind it too much in FC3, was much too preoccupied by enemies constantly spawning, drop them, and before you can even look down to loot his cocaine packet another vehicle would already be approaching, drove me nuts before occupying outposts.

That was more a problem I had with FC2, oooh and that dam malaria tablets :(

3 was OK and in fact I enjoyed it as well as the 80's Dino vibe DLC , 4 was the last FC I played as the general game stayed the same just the scenery was changing.

Never bothered going past 3, still have it to run around occasionally because the world is soooooooo pretty, just in terms of the design & colours etc etc before someone gets technical about graphics.

The malaria tablets didn't really bother me at all. Didn't need to take them as often as some reviews implied before I bought the game. Was not as bad as they said.

My second favourite FC after 3. I also don't mind the driving in any FC game I played. Was actually done pretty damn well imo.

Wish there was a better map system in Baldurs Gate. I hate the city and its sewers so much and it's so easy to get totally lost when you're looking for a specific place

Playing a few games while testing the new notebook. Msi Ge76 Raider 11ug. Really fast machine.

Elite Dangerous Odyssey - farming suit & weapon mats. Running really smooth now.

Cyberpunk 2077 2nd play through, love the story.

Battlefield 5 some mindless online fun. Waiting for 2042 to be released.

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition - simply amazing game. 3rd play through.

Dark Souls 3 frustrating difficulty but rewarding.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider it's in the steam library haven't started it yet.

Diablo 2 Resurrected - got to hell difficultly with the Amazon blizz servers a bit unstable.

Really looking forward to Elden Ring it looks great.

Just having finished it for the 1st time, must say AC Black Flag, is a really crap Assassin Creed game...

But an awesome "Pirates of the Caribbean" game. ie: if you strip the Modern day crap and the hunt for "the observatory" it is actually not that bad.

Yeah it's not a great AC game, but man I loved the pirates part, Unity is overall a better AC game. I can't get into Syndicate with it not being 60fps

Am at a bit of a crossroad re Unity. My brother wants me to co-op it with him on PS5 but in doing so I will have to play without FPS boost.

Pity the game is not cross-play :(

I didn't play it on the One as I had it on PC and 60fps was like wow.
Then it was allowed on the X and wow, but the freaking Syndicate the auto HDR is broken plus no FPS boost, I actually can't play it :(

I'm getting deep into Metroid Dread and really enjoying it. The movement feel is so good that it makes the act of traversing environments fun on its own. Combat is precise and impactful. Some gripes like the formulaic progression system but I don't really care, I'm having a blast with it.
