3 is kinda meh, it doesn’t have a super compelling story or main character.

Brotherhood and Revelations are continuations of 2s storyline, if you didn’t know that already.

I’d recommend finding a copy of Assassin’s Creed 4. It’s probably the best of the entire series; in gameplay, setting, and story.

Back before they changed the latch design, for safety, we would use a penny to trigger the lid sensor(just a simple pressure sensor) and watch it spin.

It’s important to remember that “AI” today is just a learning language model. It doesn’t think, feel, or even know its own existence. We crave interpersonal connection so it’s easy to get addicted to something that offers a facsimile of that. Good on you for finding the strength to step away from it.

The gameplay can be fun, but the story just isn’t there. It’s connection to Bioshock 1 and 2 feels forced.

As soon as they do the first “dimension switch”, or whatever, I lost any feeling of commitment since everything done up to that point became worthless to the plot.

The super mario rpgs have some of the funniest writing imo. If anything, I think they were a breath of fresh air for the franchise.

Definitely recommend reading/listening to the books. Probably the best way to experience the Witcher overall.

I do love both the Witcher 2 and 3 though, few games make me feel as immersed in their world.
