Oh and I have to say I like Mortal Shell more than any of the souls games. Hope they make Mortal Shell 2.
My favorites of the genre are Bloodborne and Mortal Shell because of the dark, gritty atmosphere. Dark Souls and Elden Ring remind me too much of D&D.

I have been absolutely obsessed with this baseball game called Super Mega Baseball 4. It's has arcade-style presentation and simulation-style gameplay. The teams and players aren't based on real teams or players and lots of the players have hilarious names like Irene Fast, Walker Runs, and... Dick Burger :ROFLMAO: . I'm in my third season of a franchise, which has been incredibly fun. I customized my league so seasons are 24 games, playoff series are best of 3, and games are 7 innings long. In the elimination game 3 of the conference finals at the end of season 2, my catcher muffed a perfectly good pitch with a runner on third in the bottom of the 6th inning and I lost the game 2-1. Absolutely brutal. My team is still looking for its first championship.

Persona 5 is such a fun choice too; the turn-based gameplay and story really pull you in, right? Diablo III may be older, but it’s timeless, I still find myself hopping back in for the loot and fast-paced action.

I’m currently rotating between a few games, but lately, I’ve been into Apex Legends. It’s intense, and having a good squad can make all the difference. If you’re ever interested in checking it out, there are some apex cheats that can help smooth out the learning curve if you’re new to competitive shooters.

RIP Battlefield3 Online!!! (Except for PC.)
Welp, it's done, folks. Servers shut down at around 6:15 EST this morning November 7th, 2024, a very sad day! Gameplay was great through the end, & I even had a pretty epic match during the last day, went 24-1 with three Sniper Rifle Ribbons & three Accuracy Ribbons, where usually I'm trying hard to get one of each for a round. Also spent time doing other fun stuff like setting up C4 buggies & going after tanks, & driving the helicopter gunship around with a gunny & going after the attack helis, flying around in the airplanes, & sometimes just going into an empty Operation Firestorm server to practice that long shot some more. Unfortunately I never had a chance to actually try & hit anyone with that 1800m long bomb in-game on my current account, but I've done it before & that battle was one of my favorite memories of playing.

One thing that I know a lot of people might be upset about, is that they've wiped the stats out. My account on Battlelog.com has no more stats, but I snapped a couple pics in-game before the shutdown with a few basic stats.

My typical loadout & attire:

There were at least a dozen camo skins available, but I liked to run the blues because I felt that they helped me blend better into the shadows & clutter.

My basic goal was to usually try & get one of each of these per round:

I ended up with ten more kills after taking the pic, & was eight away from getting one more M40A5 Service Star, when the servers shut down. (I think I called it an M40A1 in my earlier post, I meant M40A5.)

I ran some numbers & had to slightly estimate my final shot & accuracy totals for this account, but I ended up with 5492 M40A5 kills, 4558 headshots, approximately 22600 shots fired. M40A5 hit percentage was approximately 46%. M40A5 headshot accuracy was approximately 83%. I earned 10 Sniper Medals, 9 Accuracy Medals, and 54 M40A5 Service Stars. I forgot to write down how many Recon Class Service Stars that I earned.

If I add in my stats from my first account, I ended up with 15,472 M40A5 kills, 12,472 M40A5 headshots, out of 70,351 M40A5 shots fired. My M40A5 hit percentage accuracy worked out to about 43%, & my M40A5 headshot kill percentage ended up somewhere between 82.2 & 82.4%. I'm surprised that I was able to carry those numbers basically the whole time I was sniping, which I didn't really start getting into that aspect of BF3 gameplay until around 2017.
Finished out with 29 Sniper Rifle Ribbons, 36 Accuracy Ribbons, & 150 M40A5 service stars across both accounts.

I'll wait here for the reboot...
