XV was "okay", World of Final Fantasy was "pretty good", XII is nowhere near my favourite and neither is Type-0, but I like it.

Except Machina. Fuck Machina.

Machina is basically Hope, if Hope was an elite military cadet who is old enough and intelligent enough to recognise he is behaving like a little bitch but still does it anyway because he is the WORST.

I liked Watch Dog most reviewers shit on it.

Yeah, I didn't get the hate. Also, I'll never pick up where I left off with WD2 because when I needed to delete it (not the demo, full game) I did so and when I tried to register-download it to my library on PS4, all I get is a "Try Free Demo" button instead.

And mind you, my PS+ has never lapsed, so theoretically I should still have a license for my copy.

Your problem is relying on Square Enix... Hardly anyone who even worked on those games is there any more & they're all hell bent on good graphics and pleasing "fanboys," turn your attention to Atlus

Randomly picked up My Time at Portia for the Switch the other day. Not bad. Probably a more grown up version of Minecraft.

Tried Black Desert.

Dunno, Seems super janky.

Beat darksiders 3 last weekend. Solid

Replaying the best JRPG no ones ever heard of Lost Odyssey

Talk about a hidden gem

I heard of Lost Odsessy. Had some hype when first released

Yeah, along with Blue Dragn, it was one of the first games made by Sakaguchi after leaving Square.

Blue Dragon is good but not on Odysseys level

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!!

2

I was told its meh city.

yay or nay?

It's typical open world. Doesn't reinvent the wheel. Probably, not a $65 dollar buy for most people.

But I loved Mad Max and Doom 2016 is one of my favorite games of this generation, and Rage 2 is a combination of both. So it was a day one buy for me.

Main story path is way short, but there's lots of shit to do. Weapons and powers are all a lot of fun to use.

Machina is the fucking worst, guys.

The Last of Us.

Holy shit, why have I left it so long to play this.

playing God of War 3 now.

Look at this dickhead. Why does he feel the need to use an entire bedsheet as his regulation military cape? Because he's the fucking WORST. Nobody else in the whole game wears their cape like that, even the bitchy goth gurl has a more modest, less attention seeking cape. Nobody wants to give you their attention Machina, you absolute shitlord.

The girl he is pictured with, Rem, grew up in the same village, which was burned to the ground and because this is final fantasy, the trade off for being able to use magic is that once you die nobody remembers anything about your existence. So you'd think these two, being the only survivors, would be really close. That's incorrect. Machina is a fucking creep and Rem knows it.

Asshole spends the entire game cockblocking the entire cast, making sure they know only he is allowed to care about Rem and even threating violence against the entire class when one character becomes concerned about her TERMINAL ILLNESS.

Major story

SPOILER: show

He is fed a lie by a villain that the rest of the class killed his brother (who of course, he doesn't even remember and therefore is not a motivating factor, also not true), which makes him even more hostile to everyone else, so far as becoming a spy for the corrupt military commandant. A role which sees him provide such valuble insight as, "I HATE CLASS ZERO, THEY ARE JUST FOLLOWING YOUR ORDERS! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY KILLED MY BROTHER. WHAT WAS HIS NAME? WOW. I HOPE MY SPYING IS USEFUL TO YOU AND THEY ALL DIE BECAUSE I AM THE WORST"

He becomes so obsessed with the idea of Rem remembering him that he decided to become a L'Cie (yep, from FFXIII, here nobody forgets a L'Cie because how could you forget about Lightning?) just so Rem won't forget him when he dies. Oh, but he becomes a L'Cie WORKING FOR THE FUCKING BAD GUY'S SIDE BECAUSE DEAR GOD HE IS THE FUCKING WORST. So he is not even playable during the two largest scale missions, not that you'd want to play as him anyway, but way to contribute. Great playable character.

As you enter the point of no return, Machina decides he's going to just leave for good. Shortly afterwards, Rem's TERMINAL ILLNESS nearly finishes her off, but in desperation she accepts an offer to become L'Cie for the good guys. So guess what? Wearing a mask, that while hiding his idendity but in no way obscuring his vision, Machina then proceeds to BRUTALLY FUCKING MURDER REM. (Rem not wearing a mask by the way. Rem still wearing her uniform. Guess she should have worn a BIGGER FUCKING CAPE?). He then takes off his mask and cries about it as she bleeds to death, as if he hadn't just done it with his own two hands and isn't the biggest piece of shit in video games history.

Oh and then the whole class, who he was a dick to the entire time, sacrifice themselves in order to create a new world free of War and Machina and Rem somehow get resurrected and Machina is hailed as King of the new world, marries poor Rem and dies peacefully of old age in some truly unfathomable bullshit writing. FUCK.

He really is the worst.

Ive said this before but Type 0 is shit tier

Currently re-downloading Assassins' Creed: Odyssey back onto the PS4. Gonna give the new DLC story a try and knock out those special missions.

I got a PS3 and got a great deal on some games. I got the following ( none of which i've played )

Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition
Arkham Ayslum GOTY
Arkham City GOTY
The Last of US
Heavy Rain
DMC Devil May Cry
Uncharted 1
Uncharted 2
Lego Jurrasic World
God of War 3

Gonna be pretty busy.

You're gonna love them all.

Never played Lego Jurassic World.

Heavy Rain is in my top 5. Absolutely LOVED that game but it's not for everyone.

Heavy Rain was awesome. Totally depressing but I loved the different endings you could get.

I haven't played anything since I beat Red Dead 2 in like two weeks. It's been like 6 months or something since I've played a game. I got really busy at work and ... well the summer I'm more or less free so I'm sure I'll pick up a new title or two.

I was wondering about that. I'm 2 hours in and i love it. I almost quit cause the beginning was terrible, but then i realized it was the prologue trying to show me how to use the controls lol.

I was really into it before but the scene

SPOILER: show

I'm not finished though. I plan on getting the platinum trophy I think. It a great game so far. I'm invested.

That part freaked me out at first but glad it turned out how it did.

The platinum is pretty straight forward but will require multiple playthroughs to get it, worth doing it though.

Like I said Heavy Rain is one of the best games I've ever played.

I also finished The Last of Us last night.

Wow what a game. Very excited for the second game to come out whenever it does

Rumors point to Late winter/early spring

Scored an entry to the Code Vein closed network test. Downloaded and will give it a whirl after work tomorrow.

Getting back into No Man's Sky again. Fucking loads of new shit since I last played. Gotta refamiliarize myself with everything before the VR update.

JASON!

Finally platinumed Darksiders 3.

Had to do a 3rd speedrun playthrough because there was some funny business in regards to the difficulty on my 2nd run.

I just beat Batman Arkham Asylum. Great game! I still gotta go back and collect some riddles and archives and a few tapes i think. I'm like 20% or so from platinum. Not even sure if i cant platinum on the PS3 anymore cause some stuff might involve online.

Akham 1 and 2 are excellent

playing days gone. Cinematography scene transitions are very very poor. Jarringly so. But once you get into the sandbox theres a good game here. Story isnt half bad albiet cliché. Good $40 game.

Knight gets flak but I think it’s still a great game.

Not for me at least. As you level your bike you do less and less and not driving like an idiot keeps repairs low anyhow. Beyond that i think having to scavenge for fuel is fucking awesome. Shit is like gold. You can also upgrade your fuel tank so consumption lessens as you go.

Ultimately early game is somewhat survival horror as ammo storage and bike maintenance supplies are scarce but as you go through the game you you lessen these problem.

Beyond that you can pay for repairs/fuel so there's ample options to keep your bike maintained.

I've been revisiting Total War: Medieval 2; out of all the Total War games, this one and the first Rome game are my favourite.
