I know the feeling! Living in wild, wonderful West Virginia has its perks, such as an Internet connection that is equivalent to plugging an ethernet cable into a potato and hoping for Internet access, it's awful here.
That is odd, those disc-to-console installs are usually fairly quick. Even though the physical and digital editions of games always use up the same amount of storage space, that's why I like buying hard copies of them: allows me to delete games whenever I'd like, without having to worry about an insanely long download if I should ever decide to download them again.
Never tried the series before. Very, err...japanese.
I saw a few gameplay videos of that one, seemed a bit too goofy for my tastes. It's also a bit nitpicky, but I can't stand games that don't utilize ragdoll physics to some degree.
While Chaos Theory is a better game on a technical level, Pandora Tomorrow is my favourite game of the series, if that makes sense.
EDIT
For what it's worth, I played it on the PS3 (and without any updates/patches installed).
I'm also about to finish playing Batman: Return to Arkham, having great memories of playing Asylum and City from when they first came out.
@NSGW, I actually nabbed the Platinum Trophy on 'Wolfenstein: The New Order' about a month back, and had a blast. Invoked some of these feelings I had as a kid, playing those batshit insane, crazy shoot-em-up games that were very OTT. I got my copy very cheap, too, so it was more than worth it.
@CrzChris4, that's another one I've played and completed over the last couple of months, only I went with the PS4 'Remastered' version. Also managed to get the Platinum for that, and 'Grand Theft Auto III' whenever I played that on my PS4, too.
If I remember right, it was when the lead character awakes in a hospital, an objective marker leads the player into a bathroom, where a brief cut-scene takes place, following this, the character becomes stuck to the bath with an industrial strength adhesive. No matter how many times I restarted from the recent checkpoint, or even deleting my save and starting over, that !"£$%?( bath got me every time.
Grimsdotir: "What do you think?"
Fisher: "The world is small, nasty and complicated, and everybody dies alone."
Grimsdotir: "What do you think about Norman Soth?"
Fisher: "He's small, nasty and complicated. I guess how he'll die, is up to him.
I just finished the Paris-Nice, France mission, the one on the Train. Due to the close quarters (as well as the 1 alarm = failure margin for error), this remains my favourite mission of the game, and in turn, the series.
I'm about to finish the story. It's really good but really short. I was expecting about a 40 hour story, not a 20 hour story. Still though, it's one of my favorite FF games, along with FFX.
Going on my second play through. Easily the best of the series. With how this one ended, I think it would be cool to explore other characters in the Batman universe. I recently played the Harley Quinn DLC and I feel they could make a Suicide Squad game.
@Creasy47 I'm sure the multiplayer isn't anything special (I haven't played it since I'm not willing to buy PS+), but the campaign has some very unique mechanics, many of which are almost Portal-like puzzle solving techniques. Not to give anything away, but one section has you navigating a derelict facility by shifting through time. Very awesome!
I'm a little under two and a half hours into 'Resident Evil 7' and loving it. Definitely hinges on the ominous/creepy side more than an outright "scary" game (which is good, since I'm a bitch when it comes to horror games). Currently, I:
One of the most underappreciated examples of the survival horror genre.
Rumour has it that a new one, with Ironside returning as Fisher, is in the works. [-O<
Next playthrough I'm gonna just try that first and see how it does!
It's definitely not as good as 'Battlefield 4,' but I've managed to enjoy it plenty, enough to warrant a purchase.
My issues pertain to certain glitches still making it into these titles that have existed for years, an overall lack of weaponry/customization (there are a lot of "weapons," but each class pretty much has three or four base weapons, with variants that may include a scope or bipod, etc.), and sometimes it takes way too long to kill. I know it's WW1 and they're going for realism, but when other parts of the game are rather unbalanced, there's no sense in 10-round guns requiring four or five rounds to cut down another player.
Having mentioned those gripes, I think the maps and graphics are incredible, paving the way to a lot of thrilling, cinematic moments in any game mode. It's even more fun getting to play it with friends. It's one of the few online games I've been playing recently, ended up getting the Season Pass so I can try out all the new stuff next month.
I really wasn't excited to play this but I'm glad I still checked it out. It's really fun but there is a major learning curve to it. When you win a duel against another player you can't help but feel like a major badass.
The Playstation Store is having a "Critic's Choice" game sale (likely to comment on the upcoming Oscar awards), and one of the games on sale for cheap is the Complete Edition of The Witcher 3 with all of its DLC, including the two expansion packs.
I initially sat out the release of The Witcher 3 in 2015 for many reasons. For one, I had no idea what the story of the series was, and thought I'd be lost just jumping into the third entry out of the blue. But even more than that, the overwhelming RPG elements and scope of the game exhausted me just thinking about it, and I knew I'd lose my mind trying to play it blind.
I know some here have played the game, including @Creasy47 who I trust on these matters, and so I ask you all if you think the Witcher 3 is up my alley? I love open world, meaty games more than any out there, so do you think that the aspects of the game that I look for will balance out my apprehension at the heavy RPG elements and the anxiety I feel for not knowing the full story of Geralt and the crew?
This game has been on my mind a lot lately, and I've been tempted to try it, then this week it's suddenly on sale for $25, which is a steal, given its massive content. It seems like a message/sign from the gaming Gods, and I'd feel like an idiot not jumping to get it.
Thoughts?
Any interest in next week's 'Horizon: Zero Dawn'? That's also gotten some rave reviews for its characterization, narrative, and incredible open world. I'm looking forward to trying that out once it gets here in the mail.
EDIT: I'm also not one to buy games solely for the graphical quality - I've always been more focused on gameplay/replayability than that - but it's definitely one of those games that I find myself screencapping moments every few minutes, because of how absolutely lush and beautiful the world is, from the sunsets and scenery, down to the tiny details like the grass/fields. It's visually stunning.
