I played PC for years. But when I moved here I have been on consoles.

I am on Xbox now simply because how cheap games are in Argentina. Microsoft famously did not update the exchange rates dollar to peso since either 2018 or 2019 ( I do not remember which). So, you can pick up games for dirt cheap. I paid less than $15 dollars for the Tomb Raider trilogy during the recent sale.

There are loads of games priced at like 100, 200, 400, 700 pesos. It is hilarious to be honest. I bought The Witcher 3 (A game I like but don't love) for 98 pesos. That is a tiple A title. I bought Red Dead 2 for 1500 pesos, etc.

Back in June I bought Elden Ring for my son's PS4 and it cost 12,000 pesos. It is 3,000 on the Microsoft Store and not on sale.

I keep replaying the TR games too. The last generation (Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider) were such good-looking games. Rise was released in 2015 and still looks properly excellent. It was used as one of the benchmark standard games for years after its release and I can see why. I imagine the next game is going to really look wonderful. Ultra-realistic Lara incoming.

As I am approaching the end of the Tomb Rider re-visit, I am going to get that moment of depression from leaving a beloved series. So, I think I am going to have another run at the Mass Effect series next.

Late to this but I played Days Gone earlier this year and it was fun. I think the early bad reviews were because it had plenty of bugs on launch. Some of them hordes are intense.

I am currently re-playing through the Tomb Raider survivor trilogy.

Is this an exact updated remake of the 1998 game? I remember playing Resident Evil 2 way back when with my friends after school. The scenes when the Licker first shows up.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit is one of my favourite racing games. It's manic!

I like the series fine but we wanted something with a more realitic dynamic. I have played some Need to Speed games to death, so it wasn't neccesarily a knock on the franchise.

Been on a console nostalgia kick recently. My last time in the UK I bought an N64 and have been playing Star Fox 64, Mario 64, and Goldeneye. Basically the holy trinity of that console.

I also bought some games for my old Xbox 360 (I have a first year model, so really old at this point) and have been running through Skyrim again. Going back to older consoles is also the only way I can play racing games with my son. Newer racing games don't have split screen multiplayer or at least I have not found one yet.

Edit: I just realized I think the latest Gran Turismo game has split-screen 2-player and some Need for Speed games. Maybe I will look into Gran Turismo although I have not been a fan of that series since Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2. As for Need for Speed, I want something more realistic.
