Mafia III finished all the DLC and have to say the game got a bum rap. I loved it.
One of the best stories told in a game I've experienced.
And even more importantly it was fun.

Started up Hellblade recently and liked the ~1.5 hours I put in so far. Audio is a huge part of the experience, though, so finding time to play without any distractions is tough. Almost all of my gaming time these days is multitasking.
Keeping the forum alive!
I'm still playing Rainbow Six Siege.
Still playing Samurai Warriors 4-II. Started dabbling in other Warriors games like Warriors All-Stars despite the poor reviews and it's fine.
Started playing Everybody's Golf. It's great except for the fact that there's no online leaderboard besides the daily leaderboard.
I got back into counterstrike :( it fits my gaming needs..short bursts. Anyway, on the bright side I found this sweet program for getting your cards in steam games! worked like a charm. I ran it when I went to bed at night. http://www.steamidlemaster.com/
Sometimes I think about getting back into Counterstrike, then I remember what happened the last time I tried a number of years ago. Not a lot of room for somebody who hasn't played in 10+ years in that game unless you're going to spend more time catching up than I cared to.
True, I only got back into it to play with my son..then I got the bug again and started doing the aimbot maps and spray maps again, then watching the esports and stuff. I'm getting better, that's for sure but it does take effort. cS Source still has a ton of community stuff so maybe try that.Quote:

:shrug: Maybe I'm just finally old.
Next up is Fallout 4 and old school Final Fantasy re-plays while I wait for FF XV on PC.
Playing two things right now on the 3DS:
Metroid: Return of Samus and Monster hunter Stories
Enjoying both immensely!
Still finishing up Hellblade and spending the random offtime going for the platinum on Persona 5.
Trying to decide what to play that's horror-ish themed for Halloween after Hellblade. I'm thinking of splitting time between Koudelka and The Evil Within.
Still playing Siege. Great game and I can feel myself getting steadily better.
Playing Steamworld Dig 2. Loving it.
Playing Total War: Warhammer 2. Also loving it.
I played and beat Star Fox 2 (on both Normal and Hard difficulty). It's a weird game. Runs like butts and feels unfinished but is otherwise an interesting collection of ideas that may have been ahead of its time if it actually released in 1996. It's clear that Star Fox Command was Nintendo's shot at elaborating on many of the ideas they experimented with in Star Fox 2.
What are the features? I haven't played either SF2 but I think I played a little bit of command on the DSQuote:

Came in at about 14 hours with 100%. Not sure how I feel about it. It felt very linear all things considered and kinda short.
Finished Hellblade a little while back. It was good! Loved the regular gameplay parts where the voices were guiding you around, insulting you, praising you, etc. Combat seemed pretty run of the mill but wasn't bad. Much of the exposition/cutscenes felt a lot like the stuff I don't enjoy about Shakespeare; overacted monologues and such. Ending disapointed me in that it was

I would recommend it. Headphones are practically required for the best experience, though, the way they did the voices in your head was fantastic (surround positioning, etc.).
Having a tough time deciding what to play next so I'm generally just throwing a few minutes here and there into Devil Daggers, Overwatch, and the daily in Assault Android Cactus. Have a lot of spooky/horror/etc. type things I would love to play for October/Halloween, but so many are the types of things you should concentrate on for the atmosphere and shouldn't really play while multitasking. Granted, Hellblade was very much like that and I completed it so I should be able to make it work if I really want to.
Just picked up a bunch of stuff at the start of the Halloween sale. But haven't been playing much. My previous entry still holds true. I have less than 10 hours in Fallout 4, which is an absolute crying shame.
Been busy working on the house instead. 1980's built houses were not quality. It seems everything is falling apart.
Bought a chunk of things in the Steam Halloween sale but I'm probably going to have a quick trigger on refunds for a few of them. Bloodlust: Shadowhunter in particular seems to have high potential for going well past the endearing type of jank.
Only played Bloodlust: Shadowhunter once so far, but that "once" was for 3 hours straight, which I don't do too often anymore, so you could say I enjoyed it. Some of the randomness is a bit strange; your available skills are randomly generated, for example, so even though I took a spellcasting class I may get a bunch of skill options based on strength and melee.
Controls are a bit weird in the early 2000s/late 1990s way, where games were becoming more complicated and developers wanted to make use of as much of the 60+ keys on a keyboard as possible. If you've ever gone back and tried to play the original Deus Ex you know what I mean. There's a weird toggle system (using the Z key) that changes whether your mouse uses natural mouselook or if it moves a cursor around and you have to click and drag to change the camera angle.
Hoping to get back to it soon, but I have mostly been playing Persona 5, trying to finally beat the secret bosses and get that platinum. Finally did it a couple of days ago, so I'm ready to move on to something else in the PS4 realm. Probably going to make it Gravity Rush/Gravity Rush 2, as the online support for the sequel is going away in January and that apparently means there are some costumes that will be locked away forever after that point.
Played Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.
Got 5 min in and then no-ped the f out.
Pretty sure I got all the online stuff I need from Gravity Rush 2 so I'll be mixing in some other stuff now. Not sure exactly what yet, though. Feel like it will be a JRPG.Dowloaded that on release day but haven't tried it out yet.Quote:

I completed the Fire Emblem Warriors campaign and one of the History Mode maps and I'm probably not even halfway done with what the game has for me. I also bought the DLC season pass, so I'll be getting even more maps and characters over the next couple months. I don't like how some of the characters are clones of others (all the archers seem to have the same moveset, all the pegasus riders as well, I think the mages too, and the two main protagonists) but overall I had a lot of fun with the game and I plan to keep playing it when I need to turn my brain off for a while and focus on just mowing down thousands of enemies. In some ways this is the Warriors game I've been looking for all along, with a strategy element that lets me order all my generals around and allied AI good enough to actually get things done. If they ever make one of these games that is basically Warhammer Total War but with the added ability to run around the battlefield murdering thousands of troops I will be a happy man. The idea of playing this character and setting out on a quest to destroy everyone that isn't green (and some that are) really appeals to me.
Really liked the first one. Can't wait to play it. A shame its not in 3DS.Quote:

but you're not exactly playing this for the storyline so other than being shorted on feeling like I still had a level or two left it's not all that big of a deal.
Finished Mass Effect!! :p
2/3 into Mass Effect 2! Running a decade behind... lol
That said, it still was a blast playing these 2! Can't wait to finish 2nd and get into 3!
That's awesome!Quote:

Yeah. I plan to keep playing through to 3 and maybe even Andromeda if it retains your choices from 2 and 3... anyone know if that's the case??
