Release date set for 8/30. Hopefully we'll start seeing more gameplay videos. If there's no delays, it should be available at a steep discount around the holidays.

I was disappointed with the Spring Sale. The prices for most of the games aren't any cheaper than previous sales. I could have, and probably should have, bought Forza Motorsport digitally from Amazon for $40 two months ago yet it's $45 directly from Microsoft during the Spring Sale. I was hoping it would be available for $30 to $35.

I bought the digital version of Street Fighter 6 for $30 from Amazon during the holidays yet it still hasn't dropped to less than $40 on the PS and Xbox stores.

They didn't have near enough time to pivot, that's how it goes these days.

I finished AC: Mirage over the weekend and would give it 7/10. What I don't understand is that Ubisoft advertised this game as going back to its roots, yet they tied the story to AC: Valhalla. I know it was originally designed as DLC for Valhalla, but once they made the decision to make it a full game and a sort of reboot of the original, they should have gone with a fully independent story, especially since they were going for the crowd that either passed on Valhalla or did not like it.

I took about a week break from AC: Mirage, but started playing it again this week and have been enjoying it more than before. I think I've finally come to grips with how to play it. The story and characters are still boring, but the way investigations are done is very interesting and could work well in a Batman or detective game.

I'm hoping to finish it this weekend and then may move on to GTA 4 and 5.

Your grandson's commentary was awesome, especially when you got the Watch Dog for yourself. I didn't realize the other two players could chat with you until they started talking at the end of the mission. They didn't sound too old themselves.

I'm sure you went through it with Jake, but your grandson will be giving you the orders in a few years. My 13 year old son has to explain everything to me now.

I can safely say that Helldivers 2 is the least toxic multiplayer game I've ever played.  I play with my 8 y.o. grandson on easy because he likes the bugs and he likes easy difficulty.  We are joined by two randoms partway through the mission.  It goes well.

I don't know much about Steam Deck and really have no interest in it. Maybe I'm weird, but I'll game in front of the TV or sitting at my PC, but I don't really think about or want to game on a handheld type of device.  I don't play anything on my tablet or phone other than Woodoku and that's only when I'm riding on the ferry or other public transportation and there's nothing else to do.

I watch my grandkids play on the Switch and it doesn't look like any gaming I'd want to do.

Do either of you guys own or interested in the Steam Deck? Ted, I know you play/own a lot of PC games so I'm assuming your entire Steam library would be available to play on the Steam Deck.

I think I'd be all over this if I played PC games. I just recently realized the Steam Deck runs on Linux and updates as easily as modern consoles, essentially avoiding the issues with Windows gaming (driver conflicts/updates, configuration issues and compatibility).

I'd love for the rumors of Microsoft doing something similar to be true. It would be great to have a portable Xbox, similar in power to the Series S, that I could run my entire Xbox digital library on.
