I played WoW for many years (from around 2006), but I got bored with it like two years ago, and started with Diablo 3 instead. I was always just a casual player anyway, never did PvP, raids, or anything like that.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

So while I'm waiting for Witcher 3 to be updated, I picked up this game called Beyond Two Souls for the PS3. The control scheme is kinda awkward but the story is really intriguing and the main character is very human and relatable. Very curious to see where this goes.

Edit: Holy crap, this game has some intensely emotional scenes. Seriously amazing.

A friend of mine recently got me into the whole amiibo collecting thing.



I only plan on getting the 6 or so characters I play, but even that will be a significant investment, considering how rare some of them are. Goodbye, money. I'm going to miss you...

And yes, I know that my phone's camera is complete shit.

Nice! I still haven't played the original game so I'll have to rectify that soon.

There's seem to be a bit of a hate/love thing with this game. Some people have no idea why this game is considered a gem while others think it's a masterpiece. For me I was very into the esthetic, art, story, gameplay and music. I really really enjoyed the "simple" color scheme together with the ambient music, it felt so fresh and vibrant to me. Some people hated the clunky gunplay for example but I had no problem with it, felt it was a hint to the character using her parkour as a tool to avoid confrontation instead of having instant gun experience. I rarely used the guns anyway.

I think it's pretty safe to say the game will atleast have VR support.

Has anyone had any esperience with this?

It's a little pricy, but I've wanted something like this for the iPad for a while. I have GTAIII, GTA Vice City, and GTA SA downloaded and they are all unplayable because of the horrible touch controls.

You guys were right. Mario Kart 8 is amazing. The new course designs are the best in the series, and many of the retro tracks have been changed so much that they are barely recognizable.

Yes, I have, though I have not gotten around to playing them yet. I have seen videos of some of them, so I have a good idea of what to look forward to.

Anyone play World of Warcraft anymore? I'm a pretty casual player compared to the majority of the player base (I do raid off and on and just saying that tells how casual I am). Doing a quick search shows that there are a number of people who at the very least used to play on here. Just checking to see if people are still around on there.




*raises hand*
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I loved it and replayed it lots of times. A special mention to how intuitive the level design is - besides the basic movements, there are no tutorials. Also, it's been 7 years and those graphics are still superb :hefdaddy

Picked up Darkest Dungeon on the Steam Sale (as well as Monstrum and Valkyria Chronicles). I'm really enjoying Darkest Dungeon so far, though it is already pretty ruthless in its difficulty. I'm about to try Monstrum but I have high hopes for it.

Latest Gamestop/Gamefly haul:

Heavy Rain
Bioshock Infinite/Bioshock 1 bundle
Killzone 2
Madworld
De Blob 2
Medal of Honor 2010
Remember Me
Vanquish
Child of Eden
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
Little Big Planet 3
Mirror's Edge

Also decided to delve into some PS2 games I missed out on by using an emulator. Currently playing Silent Hill 2 for the very first time. Despite the outdated graphics I love the atmosphere and especially the soundtrack. Can't wait to finish this and move on to the next games in the series.

When I was going to do a top 25 list, this was on my list. Yet I only played it for 30 minutes ahaha- it was that creepy to me.

Watching videos of it and stuff, it seems so well thought out, and is open to different views. The room with Angela's dad (I think that is who it is) = wow.

Doom gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shL92JjGpLI&feature=youtu.be

Dishonored 2 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnsDyv-TtJg

Super excited for all three of these!

Edit: Holy crap the graphics in that Dishonored 2 trailer are jaw-dropping.

Edit 2: All the vids for the three games are here: https://www.youtube.com/user/pixelenemy/videos

Edit 3: Fallout 4 looks fantastic. Love the insane amount of customization. Love those awesome guns. This might end up topping Fallout 3.

Doom looks badass, reminds me of Wolfenstein. Really enjoyed Doom 3 so I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

Just wait for Nintendo`s E3 presentation tomorrow. Since Mother 1 was now released, Mother 3 seems very likely as well. I`d also like this to happen, since I haven`t played any of them except Earthbound. Will soon buy Mother 1 as well :D
