I have my Witcher games all modded up and ready to go for when I finish up with Knights of the Old Republic II.

Now that they have a much more updated look and some of the wonky combat is fixed, I'm super excited to try them out!!!

[fernandito]

Well, after about 80 hours worth of game play, I'm finally putting MGSV to rest. Going to mull it over for a few weeks, but this might end up being in my Top 15 of all time.


Also, that Quiet side mission

Spoiler:

where you rescue her and fend off the tanks and she ends up leaving Diamond Dogs

is quite possibly the greatest side mission I have ever played in my entire life. Perfection.


Also, I want to adopt a husky now just so I can name him/her DD.
Also, God of War is out in 18 days sooooo my life is about to be consumed.
That's it I think.

I'm totally consumed by Far Cry 5. I'm loving this game and it's putting a huge dent in me getting my flooring project complete. I should have just left the damn thing unopened until I was done I'm going to have to hide GOW from myself!

[fernandito]

I never got around to playing any of the Far Cry games, even though I know they're supposed to be extremely addicting.

That's good to hear. I got a copy yesterday as a bd present. Guess I should wait for the weekend to start it then if it's that involving.

[Still Servant]

I haven't read too much on the new God of War. Does anyone know if they are going to go in a more Skyrim/Assassin's Creed/Horizon Zero Dawn combat system direction?

The previous games were more hack and slash, but my thinking is they go in a different direction.

[fernandito]

Its not hack n' slash per se, more like a dynamic 3rd person melee-fighter. Think of it as a hyper version of Dark Souls.

My dualshock controller should be here by Friday, so i can finally play Final Fantasy XII after 6 weeks of waiting!

I started with 4 and loved it. Completed everything there was to do. I tried Primal but just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'm just addicted to gunplay, which isn't very PC these days.

Game on!!

Swear to god you've been starting that game for like 3 months now lol.

That does look pretty awesome! It looks like the battles will have more strategy, which is good. I'm sure Kratos will still end up having some pretty badass weapon powerups too.

It's been quite an odyssey, that's for sure! I also spent half a decade just trying to find the game used in the area. This replay (if you can call it that since I never finished it) has been 11 years in the making!

[Andi]

So I did a thing last night...

One of my buddies (someone I started playing World of Warcraft with about ten years ago) is breaking into streaming and he's been asking me to play online with him for the past couple of weeks. Well last night I finally decided to give it a shot and played some Warframe with him and he live streamed it to his peeps. I think I was pretty charming! So everyone should like the video and subscribe to his channel and maybe he'll make me a regular. :-P

[fernandito]

Well, after about 80 hours worth of game play, I'm finally putting MGSV to rest...

I lied. I can't stop playing this. I'm aiming to pass all 150 side missions. That or play it until God of War comes out on the 20th.

Whichever comes first.

Next you're going to tell me you're into recruiting and you built your base.

[fernandito]

Lol. Nah I don't want to go down that rabbit hole, not when I'm so close to jumping to a new game.

Also, I downloaded Bastion off the PSN. I fucking love indie games, and the art style for this one is amazing.

[Andi]

Bastion has one of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time.

[fernandito]

Lol. Hell yeah, love the narrator.

Is that a free download? It looks gorgeous.

I believe you're the one that turned me on to Valiant Hearts. Such a beautiful game.

[fernandito]

It's a fantastic game. The first two levels or so start off a little slow, but once you open the 'arena' and expand your arsenal it takes a drastic turn into RPG territory. I'm having a blast just leveling up all my weapons and trying out the different combinations. Artwork is gorgeous, the game has miles of heart. Just go ahead and get it dude.

Also I got it during a NYE sale so it was $10 when I picked it up, think its $12.99 right now.

[Mattrick]

Fernando, have you ever played Dust: An Elysian Tail? That a literal Indy game (it was made by one guy) and is fucking fantastic. I wrote an article on it for my site when I launch it.

[fernandito]

Just looked it up. Looks bad ass. Kinda like a hyper-ized version of Child of Light. I love 2D games.

[Mattrick]

It's a fantastic game. Not only does it play great and look great, but the story is what really caught me off guard. It's a lot darker than the bright, cuddly graphics would lead you to believe.
