Assassin's Creed: Syndicate will be finished tomorrow. Hopefully Gamestop got a deal going where I can get the most out of my trade in with Black Friday and all.

Back to Destiny...........again.

Still working my way through MGS:V, currently at 60% overall but got about 15 side ops and main missions remaining.

Late November list of games I've been playing lately:

Yoshi's Woolly World (super fun. Annoying left my apartment for the Thanksgiving weekend so haven't had a chance to play it much...)
Mighty Switch Force 2 (picked it up cheap on eShop. Also compelled me to go back and finish the first one and try to par a few courses. Awesome short fun games, I love Wayforward)
Pokemon Shuffle (because I hate life)
Pokemon Y
Fallout 4
Diablo 3
Dota 2
Overwatch (just the beta but super fun, looks promising)
Heroes of the Storm

Playing Metal Gear Solid V getting all S RANK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bdwnVV7T-w , Stacraft 2 almost done and then Brutal mission to complete!

Witcher 3
Halo 5

WOOO XBOX ONE

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon

Beat Fallout 4


Wife got me for Christmas:
COD: Black Ops 3
Guitar Hero Live
Metal Gear Solid V
Elder Scrolls Online

Sounds like a nice Christmas.

Let me know what you think of the new Guitar Hero and Elder Scrolls. I was close to buying ESO, but stopped short b/c of other games currently needing to be finished.

GH Live makes you earn your keep. That's for sure. You can't just jump right in and do whatever you want. The guitar is different, more difficult than the 5 button crap.


It took me fragmented 3 days to get ESO dl'ed so I only played one or two opening quests. Looks nice to me, I love the lore so I'll probably just breeze through that stuff.


Still playing Fallout 4 tho, that is my baby

I can't even BEGIN to tell you how many books between TES III: Morrowind & TES V: Skyrim, including DLC that I've read in-game. They really do add so much to the lore and mythology, etc. of Tamriel.

lol Yeah you can just jump in and do expert songs with the five button crap with Rock Band. Good luck with that. How long it took me to 4* Ride The Lightning, that was just my stupid fingers. Game's easy peasy.

Hearthstone is pretty fun.
Really helps the long ass boring work shifts.

My only gripe with the game was its load time on my iPhone :'( Any time you'd switch out of the app at all it would take forever to get back going again. User error and all that, but yeah

Yeah, I just hate going back to one of the properties I built only to have to dispatch a bunch of stupid bandits.

...properties?

Don't think he was saying that rockband is easy. Just that the new GH controller is tougher, which I can see.

"5 button crap" is just the king's speech.

Oh, LOL...I had Hearthstone confused for the Skyrim DLC Hearthfire. My mistake.

So Damn, what are your new Fallout 4/PS4 plans

On hold indefinitely now. :(

The way Guitar Hero is setup you can't just sit down and master a song unless you've built up in game credits to purchase the song itself. I love Rock Band to death, wish it was on sale over GH, but compared to the 5 button guitar it's a step up in difficulty I craved in this genre. I'm going to get Rock Band somewhere down the line, but switching back and forth between game guitars is going to be weird for sure now

Wait... what? That sounds horrible.

Going to get Rock Band anyway because Drumz, but still, that sounds pretty lame.

Started on Just Cause 3. Wingsuit is nice but I don't think I like it as much as the second game.

Major performance issues too.

Going between MGS5: The Phantom Pain, NCAA Football 14 (Since it was the last one released) and planning on starting the Revelations games in the Resident Evil series soon as well.

I just missed so much the 14 months I was in a Texas State Prison Faculity and not having a console for 9 months following that.

Fallout 4
Diablo 3
Hearthstone

Fallout 4.
WWE.

Just beat Halo 5 on Heroic. Was super short but fun.

I just started playing Five Nights At Freddy's....

I am a grown man who just screamed at a jump scare stating a fake fox in a game.

Pillars of Eternity
d3

Started Destiny. Not that impressed so far. Might go back to Witcher 3.

Shovel Knight.

Nintendo had it on sale at their eShop.

I bought myself Witcher 3, Fallout 4, and Attila: Total War for Xmas. I might start Witcher 3, today, as I installed it yesterday, but I'm pretty in to Crusader Kings 2 at the mo.

Bought some shit this Steam sale for once. This holiday I've mainly been playing:

Terraria
Heroes of Might & Magic III
Star Wars: The Old Republic

Playing Her Story. I don't get why its so popular. It's interesting though.

Enjoying Witcher 3 at the moment. It doesn't touch Skyrim, but it is giving me my Medieval/RPG fix.

Lego The Hobbit

Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires and Fantavision.

God damn, Fantavision. One of my first games on the PS2 I ever received. When I saw it got the upgrade treatment on PS4, I immediately downloaded that.

Too many f'n games.

Destiny
NHL 16 HUT
Fallout 4
Battlefront
COD BO3

Games I want to get back into
NBA2K16
Super Mario Maker
Mortal Kombat

Games I want to start
Killzone
Rory Mcilroy golf
THPS 5
Need For Speed
New Tomb Raider

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare- It's like Call of Duty, but w/o guns and once you master the timing of your sword attacks it becomes really fun. 24v24 PVP, no mercy. There are FFA and Team Objective modes too.


Guitar Hero Live-Bust this out every once in awhile. Very different from the older versions.


Elder Scrolls Online- I'm going to work through the solo story of it then drop it


Fallout 4- Pretty much did everything I wanted to, going to still play and wait for DLC

Witcher 3, because apparently the only games I like now are fucking long. Be at this for at least another week and I'm well over 100 hours.

Warframe

It's like destiny but free to play, and way more interesting. Third person with a combination of melee and gunplay, with special abilities for each class. Seems like it has everything Destiny has plus more, and I like the more even balance between gunplay and melee. You can do awesome shit like shoot an enemy while wall running and then jump off and finish him with a leaping melee slam. You can even sprint toward enemies while deflecting bullets with your melee weapon like a jedi fucking master.

Crafting system, a player trading market, and a hugely elaborate clan system that involves building a headquarters for your clan.

Add that all weapons armor and mods can be earned in game, and I think I'm gonna be trading in my copy of Destiny. That's not a knock on Destiny, as I think they've made signifigant improvements since it came out, and my problems with the vanills release are virtually all gone, but I only really have time for one grindfest type game, and like I said, Warframe seems like it offers a lot more.

Picked up Rise of the Tomb Raider and Just Cause 3 today, should keep me going for a while.

I found it slightly odd that JC3 was sold out in virtually every place I went to, but apparently there is supply issues at the moment.

Doom 3, it was on Steam sale for like $5.

probably the best post Curtis has ever made, nice

U take that back

Hearthstone
Borderlands 2
Diablo 3
Fallout 4
Disgaea 5

Got back to playing Madden online this weekend. Some black guy was calling me a bitch for being the Pats. He played as the Chargers. So, I told him I hope he likes his team in LA."

What a loud ass bitch.

You seem racist

Just beat Dungeon Siege 3. Was a fun game to play. Love getting free games from XBox.

6 wins in a row for Madden. One win until I am .500.

Civilization: Beyond Earth

+ all the other Civ stuff from the Humble Bundle I wanna play

Guitar Hero Live

Going to take some time to get used to the new controller, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Honestly, I really like it. Maybe even more than the old controllers. It just feels reaally good moving up and down on the buttons, especially when nailing tricky parts.

The whole GHTV thing is an interesting idea, and a great way to play new content without paying for it, but I still would have preferred an option to buy songs permanantly.

Love the live performance footage they use for the default setlist tho. Hilatious how the fans and your bandmates look at you when you're playing badly. Also, lots of girls with rockin tits in the crowd.

Bought and finished Firewatch in a few days. You can download and beat the game in the day.

Beautiful game. But definitely not worth $20. It's sorta got some replayablity, but I'd wait until it goes on a discount before you pick it up.

Got Street Fighter 5 this week. I'll play that until Far Cry: Primal comes out next week.

Diablo 3
Persona 4

Just best Pokémon 'X. That was a well put together game.

Wow
Again....

I have Y and just recently picked up Omega Ruby... not generally a fan of all the rehashed games but OR is cool just because it has so many of the legendaries from past generations

Call of Duty: Black Ops III multiplayer. It sucked me in like Black Ops II did.

I've dabbled just a bit. Haven't had the chance to sit down and really grind it out like I want.

The first 3-roud burst assault rifle is my baby so far. So good with that gun. Unlocked a SMG that seems really good too..... 3rd one down maybe? Such a noob to the game right now.

You should get in on The Division action. Kinda like Gears of War without aliens and just crazy people instead.

madden 16

Just started playing Xenoblade Chronicles X for the WiiU. And I can already tell you that the game world is just plain incredible. Wish other RPGs/open-world games would build worlds like this.

Still need to buy that... ugh @ my wallet

On the plus side, Xenoblade is one of those games you can potentially find yourself immersed in for a long time. I've already clocked like 25 hours and I'm still in the first area lol. Mind you the areas are insanely massive. I'm shocked that the WiiU can even manage to create areas like this with no load times other than the initial one.

Regardless, you'll get your moneys worth out of it.

SWTOR again...damn them.

Rise of the Tomb Raider
Rock Band 4
Just Cause 3
Lego The Hobbit

Far Cry: Primal

On the hunt to find and tame Battlecat. :D

SO EXCITED!

Mega Man Legacy Collection

killin' some robots

Is it super good? Was debating getting it, but I'm a bit sick of farcry. Does it feel different enough, or is it farcry 4 with rocks and spears?

From the gameplay I have watched, the latter sir.

There's a fair amount of copy & paste from the other games. :$

But it's totally different spin on what we're used to. You don't have guns and rocket launchers, and cars at your disposal. No scopes to line up that perfect headshot from afar. No money, no stores.

Sticks and stones and plants is all you got. You're hoofin' it most of the game until you're able to tame the larger beasts to ride on. Although there are fast travel points to cut down on travel time.

I'm having a blast right now. Far Cry 4 was alright but I hated the damn story. I'm sure you'll like this. Worse thing that happens is that you take it back and get your money back.

Far Cry 5: Close Cry Domestic Edition where we have to break into neighborhoods and take out all the sheep that bow to Meltzer,,,

Need to go bootleg that right right now.

Splitting time between The Witcher 2 and Metal Gear Rising.

Bah.

Blink, the tranq. arrows, and choke outs are your best friends.

Pretty easy to get "Clean Hands".

Just bought Amplitude, Crypt of the Necrodancer, and Gone Home. Was only gonna get Gone Home, and Amplitude, but I found out dB sound works of Super Meat Boy fame did the soundtrack for CotN, so I had to pick it up.

^^^Indeed. I prefer 3rd person for stealth tactics as well. Gives you a much better sense of your place in the environment.

I've just picked up Deus Ex: H.R. again, as a matter of fact. I'm hoping I'll find some way to defeat the boss I never got past last time.

Which boss troubles you, sir?

Not sure. Been literally years since I last played. Looking through the IGN psge though, I think it may have been Namir, the third boss. Also, I should've noted before, I'm restarting from the beginning, not starting at any boss fight.

Well for starters, DO NOT get the upgrade chip when all hell breaks loose. Makes the fight much easier.

After that, Typhoon and a high powered gun should bring him down pretty quick.

LOL, cool, thanks for the tip. I just got through scouring YT & IGN, and it was Yelena Fedorova who was giving me fits.

I did notice a couple of nice "alternative strategies" to make all but the last boss a lot more manageable. I guess I'll see how I fare when I get to those points.

She's easier. Cloak, grenades, typhoon, and gun. When she runs away, creep around. Look for the ripples in the water when she's cloaked. If you find her first, unload on her.

Well, first I've got quite a bit to get through before I get to her. However, I will take your advice under advisement.

Trying to play Xenoblade Chronicles X, but it is one of the most obtuse RPGs I've ever played. I have no idea how to start the next story mission even with the marker on my map and all my side quests seem to have no location for me.

I want to like it, but it's hard.

They are kinda known for being obtuse aren't they.


Seriously though, I remember playing through on PS2 I think it was, and it was pretty bad.

Think it was Xenosaga maybe....

I finished Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii though. This is like a whole new level.

Still wanna grab XCX. Are all these games the same "universe" as the original Xenogears on PS1? Really enjoyed that game except until the story got all weird

had one of my fav VG tracks too

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MQi7vk9Yzdk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Worst part for me was sitting for nearly 2 hours and only actually experiencing 2-3 fights......

Other than that it was a shit ton of just running around with CMOS and reading. Bored me to death at the time and I never finished it.

Think its more of a spiritual successor type in the Xenogear series. No direct connection but its not just a spin-off series either.

Then again the whole Xeno series is like that.

Working through God of War III...just killed Hephæstus...Kratos is fucking awesome.

UPDATE: ...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I made it to the end, but the fucking thing freezes up in the credits every time it gets to the "Multimedia"sextion, preventing me from getting my gold "Vengeance Complete" trophy, thus officially beating the game. #FML

Fucking 90's Square. So many good tunes.

Honestly, XCX has the best JRPG soundtrack I've heard in a while. Scan about:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fpFHH_vXVno" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Stick around till the end and you get to hear the another track with the same motifs

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kBriJWTZctI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Playing Twilight Princess HD. Never played it before because I hated the Wii. Went into Hero Mode too. Seems fun so far. Not a fan of being a wolf though but that should be better as the game goes on.

Mine came in yesterday and I got around to starting it today. I honestly barely remember the game since it was like 10 years since I've played it. As far as I'm concerned I'm getting a new Zelda game :love:

Started Hero Mode, gonna use the Ganondorf amiibo too for more of a challenge

Geez RDD, are you some all star Zelda player or something? Seems like that would be overkill.

What is Hero mode?

I think you take double damage and there are no hearts anywhere to regain health. Found a fairy though in the second dungeon.

Going between

Street fighter v
Yakuza 5
Demons souls

I've been putting pretty much all my free time into playing Stardew Valley.
