I was so excited for Far Cry 6. I've played 3-5, Primal and New Dawn. Loved every minute of it. I was excited to play a Far Cry where Giancarlo Esposito/Gus Fring/Moff Gideon/Edgar Stanley was the bad guy. But I COULD NOT get into it. The version I was playing was glitchy as hell. I couldn't even clear out and outpost without it respawning while I was still inside. I'd blow up a Jeep full of reinforcements and they would literally reappear the second the first jeep exploded. I hate the way the skill tree isn't really a skill tree, but you upgrade your skills based on the weapons you're using. I put it down not even three hours into it.

I suppose it could also be Ubisoft fatigue. Over the course of the pandemic, I played 120+ hours of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, 40+ of Far Cry New Dawn, and 150+ of Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Still Minecraft
Unity is an odd Assassin's Creed game for me. It's sandwiched between Black Flag (which I really liked) and Syndicate (which I LOVED and has my second favorite Assassin Evie in it). Looking back, it's not bad (especially since all the bugs got fixed). It's just kinda forgettable sandwiched between Black Flag and Syndicate. I do remember the online multiplayer being pretty fun, though
Yeah that trial was a total pain in the ass... what were they thinking. I had to lower the difficulty to get it done.So I'm about 70% done with Forbidden West. I've caught up on all the side missions and melee pits before heading to Ted Faro's tomb. I also noticed there was a Hunting Ground I haven't done. The first two tasks weren't easy, but they were manageable. Then, came the goddamned Heavy Weapon Trial. I've never been so pissed at a video game. Not only do you have to shoot a weapon off a frigging Tremortusk, you also have to use said weapon (which shoots VERY slowly) to kill three Clawstriders (which zip around the map like the Flash), all while avoiding the Tremortusk, which can charge across the screen and land on top of you, as well as having elemental effects). I died probably about twenty times, then had to rage quit after I started punching my DualSense controller
It's been a LONG time since a game's pissed me off this bad. I think the last controller I broke from throwing was a PlayStation 2 DualShock 2. I'm going to try the challenge again tonight, maybe with a different tactic. But, if I don't get it tonight, I'm just going to move on to old Teddy's tomb.
