Happy New Year! General Game Discussion--January 2026

Been pretty quiet on here mainly because gaming side of things has been quiet as well. I've been messing around with my Akai MPD 226 again making random little tunes here and there and having fun with that. We have a pretty major snowstorm coming in this weekend with the potential for ice, so I'll be gaming then, as long as we don't lose power. Maybe this will be a good time to re-download a GameCube emulator and play some SSX.

Still playing Wildlands, so far we're 2 and half regions complete. So far resistance is light, but playing on hard its no push over as the enemies can overwhelm players quickly. I'm playing the game as single player and with AI. Mixed feelings about the AI, on the one hand they are quite competent, i can rely on them to take out targets and provided i order them, they are competent fighters. But on the flip side, they aren't infallible like when i'm pursing an enemy in a car and it takes them much longer to blast down vehicles or targeting enemies in the car.
Jury's still out though, i'll need to level them up and see how good they really get.


I didn't realize that Wildlands would be so slow to play. I was expecting far cry pace. The game is to spend much of my time scouting an entire base, slowly pick off as many enemies using sync shot before going in to pick off the odd straggelers. I'm breezing through the game so far, but its probably because its on easier difficulty atm. We'll see what difficulty levels 3 or 4 will provided...
