I finished The Talos Principle. Yeah, that was excellent. Definitely one of the best games that I have played in a long time. The story was supremely compelling, discussing philosophy with Milton was amazingly fun and I loved the atmosphere of the entire game.

I definitely recommend this to anyone that likes puzzle games, philosophy and/or robots.

[Cool Chris]

Currently fucking overpowered in Skyrim. Enchanting skill 100, double enchanted set of clothes for alchemy and smithing, double enchanted set of Daedric armor and double daedric maces... I think you can see where this is going.

Not in to a woman's bedroom anytime soon...

I like philosophy and robots but I am complete shit at puzzle games

Sounds like my kind of game

[Lynxo]

Fuck, Resident Evil 7 is good. And playing it in VR is insane. But also insanely fun!

I grinded the hell out of the remaster so I could create dragon armor. I finally got there and stopped playing about 30 minutes after doing so  .

Yeah, I've heard lots of great stuff about it. I'm definitely getting that soon-ish.

Currently playing Antichamber. Such a great game, once again. I'm madly curious what's up with that floating black mass that you sometimes see through glass walls.

[Sacul]

Oh you'll find out about it... well kinda, this game's abstract af

Love it so far! Started playing yesterday, had to take a break after I got amputated lol. Wasn't the chop chop itself but running around while being forced to look at my damn limp of an arm distracted me quite a bit. I found the game to be pretty intense so I guess VR turns it up to 11.

[Sacul]

Started Hotline Miami. Damn this is some tough action.

Yeah, that bit and the following that you're about to see is crazy.

Saw that the GTA Trilogy (III, Vice City, and San Andreas) was on sale last night in the PS Store. $20 for the 3. Victoria leaves on Thursday for a 9 day vacation to Florida, so this is what I'll be doing in her absence.

Only thing that kind of grinds my gears is that I bought Vice City on my PS3 after also buying it on PS2 and PC way back when. I don't expect to get a free copy based on my PS2 and PC purchases, but the fact that I can't carry the legacy title over from PS3 to PS4 is kind of lame.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

I've actually been replaying San Andreas lately, after having finished Lost and Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony (on the PC).

Since I'd already legitimately beaten San Andreas once, I decided there would be no shame in using cheats to get through some of the tougher parts of the game that make me want to smash my monitor, Hulk-style.  I've managed to easily get through some of the hardest missions with relative ease.  Wu Zi Mu, Farewell My Love, and N.O.E. can all easily be beaten by using the "all pedestrians attack you with weapons" cheat.  Though the races get a little hairy when you get to main roads, as some pedestrians will try to blow you up.  I suck at races anyway.  Also, Freefall, where you take the Dodo plane to intercept another plane and free fall to it, I used a handling editor to cut down the top speed of the target plane.  AFTER trying it about 10 times and not even coming close.  Some people don't like using cheats and normally I don't either, but I don't mind as much if I have already beaten the game without cheating.  I just enjoy the game play and don't want to get stuck on an impossible mission, unable to move forward.

[Chino]

I hear you. I've vowed to not use cheats on any of my playthroughs, with the exception of San Andreas to avoid having to eat and exercise. So. Fucking. Annoying.

[Sacul]

That was very tough but excellent. Fantastic synthwave soundtrack

Excellent game

Excellent synthwave soundtrack     This game and the movie Drive got me in to synthwave. Now I'm obsessed

Finished Resident Evil 7 last night. I really liked it until the last hour or so. It just felt really rushed and I feel like they missed a few opportunities to use the Bakers.

Overall, I loved it. Genuinely scary and the plantation setting was so damn cool and scary.

For those who have played it, after you get the lantern and open the door on the second floor and explore Evie's room, I don't think I've felt so uncomfortable and scared, they genuinely made that scary. The ball bouncing in the dark, the flashlight flickering... I had goosebumps. The other part that made me jump was when Jack busted through the wall in the beginning.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Checked out some Ghost Recon Wildlands beta streams and it looks interesting, right up my alley since I love tactical milsim games.

Scariest moment in a game for me was in Silent Hill 3.

The hospital when you enter a room with a bathtub and a fullsize wall to wall mirror.

At one point your reflection stops moving as I knew it would and the bathtub starts filling with blood.

Amazing. So scary.

[Sacul]

I fucking loved that moment.

[Azyiu]

Wow! It's been so long (last played Silent Hill 3 in 2004) since I played it, I have no recollection of that room at all... so sad... 

[Sacul]

Finally started with Dead Space 

[Azyiu]

Finally started with Dead Space 

Lovely! One of my fav series on the PS3! I absolutely love DS1! DS2 is nice in its own way... but I never played DS3. All my friends are saying it is not nearly as good as the first two games. Anyway, enjoy it and let us know what you think.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Loved Dead Space 1, one of the greatest SP campaigns i've played. The game scared the crap out of me but I still couldn't stop playing. DS2 was a bit of a let down but still a good game. Never played DS3 because I felt they left the suspense elements in favor of more action.

Never played DS1, but I enjoyed DS2.  Not a great game, but enjoyable.  I got DS3 for free and played a few minutes and never came back to it.  I honestly don't remember why.

[Phoenix87x]

It just dawned on me today, Where the hell are all the Star Wars games?

Besides lego Force Awakens 2016 (not for me) and Battlefront 2015 (really not for me), its a wasteland out there. The last full blown SW game was force unleashed 2 and that was WAY back in 2010. 

Back in the day, it seemed like there were countless SW games continuously coming out: KOTOR, Jedi outcast, rouge squadron, x wing and tie fighter, shadows of the empire, the original battlefront games,

If there was ever a time to pump them out, I would think it would be now. What gives

[BlobVanDam]

I would say it's run very differently now that they've gotten rid of Lucasarts, so now they're being more selective with projects.
It's a shame, because Star Wars had a solid track record for video games.

[Nel]

Finished World of Final Fantasy. That game was... okay. Story kept swinging from cringe-comedy to totally-serious way too much. Pretty though. Tama is one of the most annoying characters ever with that verbal tic. Now to finish Bravely Default, and then I'm taking a needed break from RPGs for a month or so.

Made my monthly trip back to Minecraft. It's a work in progress, but I want to make an underwater tunnel system below my town that connects to all the major landmarks. I made a hub. Still need to decorate it with hanging vines and falling water. Mapping out the tunnels will be a chore, but that's what spectator mode is for, I guess.

[Kotowboy]

Tama is one of the most annoying characters ever with that verbal tic.

You take that the back !

[Kotowboy]

I WILL THE NOT !!!!


I thought it was funny. My 13 yr old bro was playing and I laughed every time.

[Sacul]

Well finished Dead Space. Pretty fun game, not really scary at all tho. Just a solid RE4 in space 

[Lynxo]

I've also finished Resident Evil VII. Overall, I loved it, amazing game. And having it playable in VR was a genius move, I played it like that all the way. The first truly amazing VR game. (Yeah, Batman Arkham VR was also amazing but way too short to be labeled a proper game if you ask me...)

[Kotowboy]

Overall I like the PS4 controller but I wish the SHARE and OPTIONS buttons were slightly proud of the casing.

I have to look down at the controller every time I want to use either of them.
