About 400 hours on FC26. I don't know why. Haven't played since it rebranded from FIFA but for some reason I decided I'd jump back in this year and I got absolutely hooked on weekly objectives, SBCs, events and promos and now trading on the market (made about 500k coins in the last two weeks). Hated playing competitive but some how just made it to div 6 and qualified for champs.

Great games, the nemesis system is fantastic. Love everything LOTR, the rumored open world ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ style LOTR game in development has me very excited.

Until you get a bullshit nemesis that just keeps getting more ridiculous every time it kills you and becomes your nightmare

It’s a fun game from what I’ve played. I just don’t remember ever buying it lol.

Big LOTR fan too, but I really have craved a Skyrim style LOTR game for a long time. There are some amazing strategy game mods out there, Warband, M2TW and CK2/3 - but the only RPG style ones have been a long way from what I'd hoped for. Give me the world of Middle Earth to explore, I don't care if it's Fellowship timeline or not but I want an open world version of Middle Earth. Instead we get Gollum, Mordor series, Dwarves, Hobbits. But yes hopefully these rumours deliver, crazy that it took Hogwarts for people to realise the demand for these games.

****ing awesome game. I clocked Shadow of Mordor and was wondering how they would improve. They did a mighty job. The combat is sensational so is the Nemesis system. I'm so close to knocking this one off.

Banishers: Ghosts of new Eden

I’m really enjoying this, did it go under the radar? It’s fantastic.

I've been wanting to play Silent Hill 2 for so long because it is supposed to be one of the best stories is vidya gaems. I was watching a video the other day about it which made me start looking at it again. It was about whether you should jump into Silent Hill 2 as your first horror game and something they said struck me. It was "are you scared of horror games or just the thought of playing horror games?" I love horror movies, particularly the more cerebral and psychological ones. Apparently Silent Hill 2 is more like this. I think "I can't handle horror games" is so engrained in me that once I know I'm playing a horror game then I'm automatically scared of the thought of it. I knew Alan Wake 2 was leaning into horror but I had no problems because I was motivated to play it regardless because I love the Remedy universe. I just simply played the game as I would anything else despite the frequent jump scares.

Anyway, SH2 had been on my wishlist for so long and it had it's heaviest discount to date on Steam so I finally bought it and plan on starting this weekend. I'll update if and how long it takes me to uninstall lol.
