PC. Origin.

Finally won another Battlegrounds game this morning with my brother and then spent the evening working on making a video of it

Also made this music video of 311's Perfect Mistake to a compilation of me dying in the game  Kind of went to the beat of the game

So I ordered a copy of Return to Arkham off ebay which has remastered versions of Arkham asylum and Arkham city. They only sent the one disc for Arkham Asylum 

I'm in the process of resolving that, but regardless, it Still it looks gorgeous on PS4 and still plays just as incredible as it always did

So it's not it's own dedicated package?    Great games though

So over the last couple of years I had a fair bit of spare time due to a couple of bouts of illness that had me off work for extended periods. I played the shit out of Skyrim on the PS3. Loved it. I'm about level 60 but I ran out of things to do. Only got a few trophies to get - some I can't because of glitches in the game.

My father in law bought me and the boys a PS4 recently and I bought the Witcher 3. Really enjoying this. It's definitely scratching my Skyrim itch. I'm getting obsessed with Gwent...

Well, Final Fantasy 12 Zodiac Age comes out tomorrow.

Looks pretty cool. I am still busy with 15, so I might check out zodiac age later down the line when the price is lower.

Picking it up today! It's the last one I have yet to play & finish out of the numbered entries (except XI)... I'm so excited, I may take the day off tomorrow.

Got my copy of Return to Arkham: Arkham City for PS4 and it is gorgeous and incredibly fun

[Mr. Beale]

I know there aren't a lot of fighting game followers here but the Evo Championships are this weekend if you want to follow some streams. I'm mostly going to be watching the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue channels myself.

[Phoenix87x]

Been playing Splatoon 2 all day. Its a blast. The game is basically to try and cover as much of the stage with your team's paint color as possible before the timer runs out. You can move super fast on your color and super slow on the opposite team's color. A whole lot of fun.

You forgot Far Cry 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2!

[Dublagent66]

It's my list, not yours! Buddy boy!! 

[cramx3]

  also RDR2 got pushed back so it's really not on my radar personally, although I definitely am highly anticipating that one whenever it makes its way to PC.

[Sacul]

Played The Beguinner's Guide last night, damn that was really unconventional and emotion and quite awesome, by the guy who made The Stanley Parable. I also played Year Walk which I couldn't even finish - lots of dumb and bad designed puzzles for the sake of puzzles, cheap jump scares, and an annoying walking system. Shame, because the art direction and the backstory about Traditional Swedish folklore are amazing.

Also started Rule of Rose, which is very intriguing so far and has gorgeous artwork, and OFF, the one Undertale copied a lot from, mostly the color pallete and level design. Interesting so far.

[ReaperKK]

I really liked beginners guide. I sat down with a few drinks one night and played through and was really entertained. I wish there were more games like that out there.

[Phoenix87x]

Bought Splatoon 2 today. I am loving it and haven't been this addicted to a game like this in a long time

Is a damn shame it is only for the switch

[Mr. Beale]

One of my favorite developers Arc System Works announced that two of my favorite fighting series will be in a crazy four way crossover game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2Qw-ztFrK4&t=2s

This could be either super awesome or just a mess, but regardless I'm pretty hyped for it.

[Crow]

@ sacul I thought year walk was okay but kinda forgettable, it's also really short too so

[Mr. Beale]

Dragon Quest XI has been officially announced for a western release. No word on which platforms it will be on but I'm sure at least the PS4 version will come over.

[Sigz]

I have been hopelessly obsessed with Factorio recently. The game loop is so goddamned addicting I can't stop.

[ReaperKK]

YES! Factorio is the shit. I'm about 80% done building my rocket. I put something like 30 hours into it in a single week, once I started I couldn't stop.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Finally playing the story mode in The Long Dark. Been playing the survival part on and off since 2013, it's such a great survival game that won't hold your hand when you play.  It's pretty unforgiving and "realistic" but so revarding once you get a hang of it.

[ReaperKK]

My brother and I decided that we are going to start doing a game of the month type think. We always had a lot of fun playing games and talking about them so we are going to select a game and discuss it, first month it's going to be Half-Life 2

[Phoenix87x]

Half life 2 is one of my favorite games ever made 

[ReaperKK]

Yup, we are probably going to do Super Mario 64 or Super Mario World after that, I was thinking of starting a thread on here for it but I don't think there would be much interest.

As a side note, I'm playing wow for the first time in years. I'm just doing the first 20 level trial thing to see what's changed from 10+ years ago when I first played.

A lot. A lot has changed.

[Dublagent66]

Half life 2 is one of my favorite games ever made 

Would love to play that if they did a re-master for PS4. 
 
Right now, I'm playing Wolfenstein: The New Order.  A really impressive FPS.  I like it a l o t!!

Sonic Mania has shown up in stores a little earlier than the tuesday release date.

I am bursting with excitement with what I have seen, so what will follow is TOTAL SPOILERS (all zones in the game and thoughts) I don't spoil any of the story (which there's not really anything above just the standard sonic storyline)













_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This game is awesome. S&K3 will always be my favorite, but this one comes very closes

The stages:

4 New and 8 remixed

The old:

1. Green hill
2. Chemical plant
3. Flying battery
4. Oil Ocean
5. Stardust Speedway
6. Metalic madness
7. Hydrocity
8. Lava reef

- Overall, I think the new remixed act 2's of these zones have been really well done and creative. Hydrocity overall is the only one where it strayed a little too much away from the original level's design, which for me was a perfect blend between out of water speed and in water mechanics. Mania's hydrocity is mostly under water. Oh well, its still pretty cool.

I would have swapped out oil ocean or metallic madness for ice cap, but besides that I am very happy.

The new

9. Studiopolis - Awesome and fun
10. Mirage saloon - Awesome and fun
11. Garden Press zone-   this one really sticks out. Its a cool zone with very cool music. But it just doesn't seem to fit in with the overall package. But hey, what evs, I'll take it

12. Titanic Monarch zone- Now this is an interesting one. Its like a neo scrapbrain zone, but not quite as brutal. Its key mechanic (which is probably gonna frustrate a lot of people) was taken from one of sonic 3's mini special stages where theres a ball of energy that you can rotate around and you use to leap to higher spots. A very cool zone.


Overall I love this game. This is the sonic game I have been waiting for since 1994.

[BlobVanDam]

Sonic fans are not happy about the PC version being delayed by 2 weeks. I've watched the gameplay videos on Youtube, and I'm mixed on it. Too many Sonic CD elements for my liking, and the new zones are kind of strangely themed. Garden Press Zone is very whatever.
But the foundation is a nice evolution on the Genesis gameplay (and very faithfully recreated), and it was clearly made as a labour of love, and hopefully they get to make an all original game if this does well.

[ReaperKK]

I'm pretty excited to give it a shot, a little disappointed by the delay but I'm looking forward to playing it.

[Phoenix87x]

Bought sonic mania this morning and have beaten it. It was really great.

The original stages are cool to replay for the most part, but the remixed 2nd act make revisiting the old stuff way more worthwhile. I really like all the new stages, even the bizarre Press garden (which I recently figured out that is a news press garden that makes newspapers). Regardless the music is great and the level is fun so its all good

$20 is the perfect price point, imo. I just hope that Mania is successful enough that Sega just moves the fuck out of the way and let's Christian Whitehead just make a 100% new game in the retro 2D style for Mania 2. After finishing Mania 1, he has definitely proven himself worthy.

[Sacul]

Started Day of the Tentacle: Remastered but got stuck so ragequitted and finally begun with Half-Life 2 some days ago. Been having a blast 

[ReaperKK]

I'm playing Half-Life 2 as well, how far did you get Sacul?
