I can't get into those Assassin's Creed games. I got the Black Flag one free with my video card years ago and I played about 20 minutes. Stealth games always end up with me trying to sneak then getting killed by a mob when I inevitably slip up.

I've been watching the Mighty Jingles play Assasin's Creed Odyssey and watching it is making me seriously think of getting it. I only played through part of the first one and I thought it was really repetitive and the save system sucked and made things fustrating, but this one looks really good though. I think it might be my next game after I've finished playing through Battletech. Hopefully there's enough time before Cyberpunk comes out to finish AC.
Speaking of Battletech, anyone here playing it? I'm pretty close to finishing, I'm on the third or fourth (I think) to last story mission, the timed one where you have to take out the 3 generators. So far, that's proving to be a bit of pain, it's proving a touch tricky to get to the second and third generators before time runs out. But I think I figured out how to do it since the last time around I went the wrong way and took too long.
Might as well bump this back up. With Red Dead Redemption 2 only a week away I'm pretty much expecting to see my entire friends list playing this release day.

About a week away you say?...
For all of you Battletech players or future players, as a bit of an FYI, there's an interesting accomplishment in the game, you get it for [spoilers]killing an Orion, with a Precision Shot to the head, with an AC20[/spoilers]. I found it to be a rather odd accomplishments and a very specific one too, even though I got it a few days ago, I'm still kind of surprised that I got it since it was so unexpected.
I remember playing the last Mechwarrior 4 multiplayer and this guy was constantly one shot killing people. Eventually we figured out that if you hit right to the cockpit it was a headshot. So he was killing people with a gauss rifle (I think...). I could never pull it off correctly. It was more fun to blow their leg off then run circles around them finishing them off. :lol
Headshots are hard in the new Battletech too, but I got lucky in that particular mission and actually managed two succesful called shots to the head.
Depending on how many and what kind of mechs are on the field I vary my called shots. If I need to clear the field some I'll just do called shots to center torso to get them our of the way, this works really well with light and some medium mechs because, these days, I'm fielding a mix of heavy and assault mechs in my lance. If I'm not in that big of a hurry, got heavier mechs, or if it's a mech I really want to salvage I'll go for a combination of the side torsos and legs. Blow one leg off and the mech falls and the pilot takes an injury, blow off a side torso that's an injury as well, 3-4 injuries and the pilot is down for the count and you can get full salvage from the mech, thus earning a free mech to sell or add to your lance/collection. But I have a hard time with that because I end up doing so much damage to center torso in the process that I'm seldomly able to knock the pilot out without blowing up the entire mech first.
With Called Shot Mastery and the right weapons, headshots are still worth going for. AC10 with bonus damage is enough to take it out in 1 shot. Even with the balance patch they did a while back to morale/precision shot, its worth trying for depending on the situation. Especially once you get to fighting mostly assault mechs. Either use turns to burn thru all that armor while getting shot at, or use a couple turns to land that lucky one hit kill for full salvage. Still its best to take a somewhat well rounded approach so you don't get RNG screwed. Good STAB damage for knockdowns is great, I try to keep a mix of energy and ammo based builds now after running out of ammo in a mission with no lasers left and got cheesed by turrets.
Current game obsession is Diablo III. And I picked up The Force Unleashed I and II last weekend.
