That’s pretty cool! I never heard of it before but it’s on my Wishlist now. I’m definitely curious to check it out.

For me I’d probably say 1-3 were all really good. I’d probably agree that 3 was the best of those, but Ezio > Connor for sure. 4 was absolutely excellent, probably my favourite AC game. I enjoyed Unity, though I played it after the bugs got fixed and I never cared much about getting 100% so the micro transactions didn’t bother me too much. Same goes for Syndicate, I quite enjoyed that one too. I already mentioned my opinions on Origins and Odyssey, but yeah, both awesome games, just not great AC games. I wish it was a different franchise. Valhalla was way too bloated in my opinion, and was the first AC game I didn’t complete. I haven’t played anything after except for a couple minutes of Mirage, maybe at a friend’s house or a demo or something since I never bought it. I thought it was pretty fun, I might have to try it if I can find it for cheap sometime.

The only spinoff I’ve played is Chronicles: India I think, which I thought was pretty fun but I never finished it.

I haven’t tried any other AC games, so if I’m missing any it’s because I didn’t play it.

I really enjoyed Origins and Odyssey. Neither should’ve been called AC games though. I think if they rebranded them under a new series, and removed the micro transactions, they would be seen as really good modern lite-RPGs. Especially Odyssey. They weren’t bloated like Valhalla, and I think had some really interesting elements. I haven’t played them in a few years but have fond memories. Maybe I should replay them to see if they’re actually good or there’s just a bit of nostalgia or rose tinted glasses or whatever.

I used to love playing BBT on the 360 with a friend of mine. Enjoy, it’s a very entertaining game

I’m currently replaying the first Dishonored (switching beteeen Dishonored and Hitman at the moment), that’s gotta be one of my favourite games I’ve ever played. The whole series is great but that first one especially is truly special.

Funny, that’s one of my all time favourite games. Some of my favourite ever bosses are from that game, and the lows aren’t nearly as annoying (to me) as the lows of the original Dark Souls. I’d still say I prefer Elden Ring and Sekiro to any DS title, though.

I was thinking of jumping to that next, I’m currently replaying the Hitman reboot trilogy. I haven’t played Mass Effect in a while, and never tried the LE. What do you think of it? How are the graphics? Have you played the originals? If so, how does it compare?

Funny, I’m currently going through the remake trilogy

I’m jealous! I loved that game. Enjoy the first time experience, it’s awesome.

I’ll give it a look. Thanks.

It actually took two attempts with Ventoy, the first time the drive failed part way through. I think it overheated or something, it was very hot. I had to wipe it and try again, giving it time unplugged to cool down between flashing it and installing it, and that seemed to work fine. Probably a hardware issue though, it’s a cheap drive

What do you recommend for switch emulation? I was looking into possibly doing it sometime soon.

I ended up getting it to work. I’m still not sure what the issue was, but I wiped the USB and tried using Ventoy to flash instead and that seemed to work. No idea why.

Hey! I finally got around to trying out what you said. I got it running and played around for a bit, and decided to dual boot at least for now. I powered off, ejected the usb, went back to windows to clear up some disc space and went to boot up Mint again, and got greeted with this:

Failed to open \EFI\B00T\mmx64.efi - Not Found
Failed to load image ??: Not Found
Failed to start MokManager: Not Found
Something has gone seriously wrong: import mok-state() failed: Not Found

I disabled secure boot but it’s still giving me this. It shows it for a few seconds and then turns off. Any suggestions? I’m not sure why it was working before and isn’t now. It’s a bit frustrating.

I hope you have fun with mirrors edge! I loved it when I played it a couple years ago. The sequel is fun too.

Good to know about Xenia on Linux. I’m looking into switching away from windows soon, so that’s useful information. I’ll be sure to check out Xenia on Linux when I end up switching.

I have very strong memories of that game for some reason. I replayed it last year and had a huge wave of nostalgia for some reason, far more than any other games I had played at that time.

The whole series is great, especially the first two. I kind of want to go back and replay them again now.

I’m a huge fan of the Portal games but never played any Talos Principle. I’ve had them on my Wishlist for a while now, maybe I’ll pick them up on the next sale.

Good to know. Thanks. I’ll look into that one.

I appreciate the write up! I’ll refer to your comment the next time I’m at my PC and give it a shot. Thanks again.

Thanks for this, I’ll look into it. I don’t have easy access to an old laptop right now, so I’ll have to do one of the options you mentioned. I think I’ll look into the USB option first and see if it’s something I can figure out. If not then I’ll try the virtual machine. I appreciate the added info.
