Last Guardian was AMAZING! Liked it even more than Shadows. Never.played the PS4 remaster though.

Shenmue is one of my favorite series ever. Why i bought my Dreamcast. I'm playing the HD release now.

I'm also playing Streets of rage 2 again.
Streets of Rage 2 is awesome. I played it recently myself.

I am dabbling around in Subnautica again. Cool game.

Started playing The Last of Us Remastered. Starts a bit slow for me.

AC Odyssey.. a little FIFA 19. Every once in a while I'll play some Total War Napoleon or Empire. Don't want to get too much into something with RDR 2 coming.

Is this Meve's stand against Nilfgaard for Rivia and Lyria like in the novels? First time I've seen this.

I think it is from what I have seen (I bet they have the bridge scene in there somehow).

It's an exclusive for GOG.com. Basically they made Gwent into an RPG!

Seems really cool. Makes sense that it's for GOG only. CD Project owns GOG and I think they work out of the same office! The documentary Noclip released about GOG was awesome.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a big game, so big that you’re given a horse and giant boat to help you get across it. So it’s best to take Ubisoft’s advice and use them (and fast travel) to get around rather than trying to walk (and swim) your way across the map like this guy.

As he is prone to do when a new open world game hits, How Big is the Map? wanted to find out how big Odyssey’s map was by traversing it from one corner to the other. Where he could walk he’d walk, and where he had to cross the water he’d swim.

In all it took him 2:27:54 to get there. There isn’t much worth seeing at the end, but as with all odysseys in the ancient Greek world, it’s more about the journey than the destination.
Thats a BIG map. :shock:

It is huge! THey have comparisons online with it next to the Witcher 3 map. It's more than twice the size I believe. Tons of large islands along with mainland Greece. Such a great game soo far. I just started over last night though after about 10 hours. I initially picked the gal and I really liked her but it just felt weird playing a Spartan and not being this big hulking Spartan dood.

Tons of crafting. Everything is crafting. Its essentially a survival game. You scan pieces of wrecked gear in the ocean and you gain the ability to fabricate them for your base.

Thanks for the response. You saved me money. I love the games atmosphere etc but crafting games just are not for me.

I was hoping this was some underwater adventure game like a uncharted or something along those lines.

It's a cool game. It has a narrative that is pretty interesting, but it takes a while to build up because of the exploration nature of the game. Maybe keep it on your radar and if it goes on sale try it out. It's a pretty well made game.

Bought Hollow Knight on PS4. It's cool. People love to compare this and Dead Cells as to which is better.

They aren't even that similar. Hollow Knight is more of a true metroidvania. While Dead Cells is a rogue-lite 2D action game.

For my money Hollow Knight is good, but Dead Cells was really something special.

Is it me, or every time I kill a Colossus I feel bad? And is there nothing to collect, you just travel to the Colossus to kill it? They aren't even doing anything, just minding their own business till the main guy shows up.
That's because you haven't seen them when they get hungry. When they're hungry they stomp down the walls of local villages and slaughter little children so they can eat their hearts.

I've only gotten tipsy once in the past 2 weeks. This stupid fucking med I'm on just causes me to get tired and lose interest before I even catch a buzz. I mean, it's probably a good thing, but I'm just not used to it at all. I just hope I can stay awake until midnight to play the game when it comes out.
It's probably a good thing.. I have weekends where I'll drink like 6 beers in 3-4 days, I'm so proud of myself lol. Just gotta keep working at it.

I need to check with Gamestop. I've seen people on reddit talking about getting it at 9pm.. not sure if that's just a West Coast thing or what.

Started playing Dead Space since it’s backwards comparable on my Xbox One. Never played it all before and since it’s Halloween season I wanted some survival horror. I’m only on Chapter 3 but it’s a great game. I have them all just bought them late and never got around to playing them.

This little town doesn't have a gamestop, so that doesn't really help me out. I could stand in line in Grand Forks which is an hour and a half away, but... By the time I'd get to buy hit, and drive all the way home it will be close to midnight anyway. Might as well just stay here I guess. I'm going to preorder it online anyway though.

Creepy as hell to play with headphones on and the lights off. Lots of jump scares and the clanking and screaming sounds have you on high alert.

This game still holds up and it was released in 2008. I'm having fun playing it.

People really like Dead Space 2 as well. Which was more action than first one I think. I played some of one of these but I forget which one.

Nice. Yeah, I usually don't like those kinds of jump scare games either. That one just did it for me.

Still playing a lot of Hitman 2. Trying to max out mastery on the maps so I get all the cool unlocks and gadgets, and exploding pens, and explosive ducks, and poisons all that crazy stuff.

I want to dive into the back catalog a bit and finish something there. Looking at Furi or maybe Yakuza 0 to play.

PS4 holiday pickups

South Park: Fractured but Whole
Uncharted 4
Middle Earth: Shadow of War

Got them for under $20 total. So far the wife is playing South Park and it looks great. I've been mashing thru Uncharted 4. It's good, but same old climb, shoot, & solve stuff that we are all used to.
