Go with AC origins first. I found myself lost in that world. Climbing to the top of the Pyramids was pretty great and the graphics oh man. A+ in 4k or 1080 60+
Both games are great and I am actually in the process of playingthe new zombie DLC. Pretty much what

said. It's a super close call.While we're on the subject I wrapped up Lost on Mars and while its repetitive (hello ubisoft game/dlc) if you guys like the cheesy Far Cry stories it's pretty fun. Hurk's story arc is growing with each game and I love it. I like the idea that he is the Monkey King from Chinese folklore and he's always finding himself in trouble as a drunken redneck.
Vietnam DLC 6/10
Lost on Mars 7/10 (dialogue is fun)
Zombie DLC working on it.

Got the 3 kids solo for a week while the wife is off helping her twin sister with a new baby. Office/computer is too secluded from the rest of the house to be able to PC game, so I'm digging into my backlog of PS4 games! Up on the list:
Uncharted 2, 3, 4 - (beat #1 already)
Horizon Zero Dawn with all DLC
That's about all I got! lol... short list, but plenty of game play there to last me way more than a week I think.

Yea, got some spare time today, and put a couple hours into the beginning of Horizon Zero Dawn. Got pretty bored with it, so not sure if I'll continue. This is the normal though as I couldn't get into any Fallout or Skyrim. These open world games for some reason I just get super bored. Witcher 3 held me for an extraordinary amount of time I think because Mods eased some of the tedium, and it's just flat out damn amazing story and quest lines.

The first few hours are more or less tutorial/background story. Once you get out of the actual beginning area it gets much better.

Yea, just played a part of the wifes game. She's level 27, and was at a part where she wounded this dude, and he called like 8 Glinthawks down to attack us. She hates those birds, because she's not very good at controller aiming while moving and stuff, and so I tried it, and that was hella damn fun. Took those bitches out quick too! Knocked em to the ground with some purple arrow that made a sonic boom looking thing, then Executed them with my spear.
Edit: Oops, I never manually saved my game, and so the quick saves got wiped out when the wife started playing again. Not playing this one for a while I guess, as anytime I think about playing, I'll have to redo 2 hours of shitty intro tutorial shit.

Learn too love the Ropecaster for them(adding handling augments makes it reload faster, tear augments make it take less ropes too tie down machines), and it's also fun too use on humans. And Fire arrows (for the glinthawks)

I do not even care if Sony ever opens up cross play. Right now the only added user benefit is to have a gaming population to play with, and I never have problems playing / finding games. They have PC Cross play, that's good enough for me.
With that said, none of these companies gives a rats ass about user experience in cross play. MS wants it because they need the user pool. Switch is the same reason. PC doesn't care. And last gen, Microsoft was bucking cross play while Sony was all for it.
What I would like to know is why MS requires an Xbox Live Gold sub to play free to play games online.
There shouldn't be a sub required for any of this shit anyway considering 90% of all multiplayer is peer to peer on consoles.

Sony requires PSN or whatever, too.
Monster Hunter World is an online game – PC players play for free, while console users have to have Xbox Live or PSN; every "online" game on console is tied to a $60/year subscription to Microsoft/Sony as a console tax that PC users are exempt from.

Actually I meant free to play online games. PSN is not required for fortnite, warframe, etc. (free to play) while for Microsoft Xbox live is required.
Buy to play games it’s required on both services.

I will say that the gatekeeping of online play on the consoles is stupid, but the PS+ and Gold service is something I'd probably subscribe to, even if it had nothing to do with online play. The "free" games every month, along with nice discounts on all the sales are worth the relatively small price.
