Not everything has to be subversive edgy and grimdark all the time. I liked the pacifist ending. It was a bit cliché but it was nice to have an ending where everyone is happy at the end.

Completed BioShock Infinite on 1999 mode. Wasn't really as hard as it was made out to be. Only died like 5 times and surprisingly there were no Handymen involved in those deaths. Some vigor and gear combos are just so overpowered its hilarious.

BSI is great, but the game feels rushed in the latter half. There were problems during the development, the game got reimagined at some point

Yeah.

Still thought the ending was really satisfying, though. Made up for the gameplay tedium.

I really should have gotten that game during a sale but it went right past me somehow. It looks really fun. Might have to get it soon.

Its super fun. Theres a couple bugs here and there and u know, ubisoft servers are a thing...

But its got alot of depth. get 4 friends together on a regular basis, talking all tactical and shit, theres tonnes of strategy. I assume youll be playing on PC so I cant tell u how well it performs or if the communities competitive and welcoming or if its full of douchebags. The only downside is that u cant play ranked until ur level 20, which is a double edged sword. It means youll either be playing offline or in casual, which people arent as good, and is full of trolls. But it means when u do get to ranked people generally know what theyre doing, making solo queue on ranked not that bad.

Edit: Level 20 btw will probs take about 8 hours or so. If u squad up with a mate who is level 20 and ur not itll let u play ranked though, so its not all bad.

Have you ever seen the designs for what the original Bioshock was meant to be like? Absolutely nothing like what came out. Reimagining isn't necessarily a problem.

There's a difference between reimagining the game at the earliest stage of production and after releasing trailers with already made assets, characters, fleshed out story etc.

I finished playing Batman: Arkham Knight there. Pretty solid experience. Some of the side missions were weak, there was far too much Batmobile and tank battles going on and not enough interesting interior levels. The dual play with Batman and Robin was probably the highlight of the experience.

It probably had the most interesting story of the four Arkham Games - or at least the whole psychological angle involving Batman felt pretty fresh. Scarecrow didn't really deliver but he was more of a vehicle for more interesting encounters involving Batman. I'm glad I didn't follow the preamble like I did with Arkham City - so Arkham Knight's identity and involvement in the story felt like a pretty good one - touching on Batman's past failures and deepest regrets. Storywise it feels the least like a Batman comic which isn't necessarily a good thing. Although Arkham City's plot was messy it still had the novelty of facing Batman's rogues gallery that lacked a bit in Knight.

Pocket Mortys was just released for iOS and Android. I know, it's a mobile game but it's Pokemon but with Rick and Morty instead of Pokemon.

Also, it has songs from the show playing in the background, including a chiptune version of Do You Feel It? by Chaos Chaos which is a great song.

I've been playing Bloodborne lately and I love it. The atmosphere is spot on, and the style is awesome. I've never actually played through an entire Souls game before, mostly because I just never had the patience to do so, but I'm hoping I'm able to pull through with this. So far, it seems a little more accessible than the Souls games in terms of being challenging, which I'm sure bothers a lot of people, but...can't say I'm bothered by it. Assuming there isn't a massive difficulty spike later in the game, of course.

Yup. Pocket Morty's is literally just Pokemon Rick and Morty.

I love it.

I don't love it. Maybe because I've never played a Pokemon game, and I keep running out of attack power, and I'm only about an hour in. I probably won't spend much more time on it.

I started playing Fallout 2 again. My brother used to let me use his steam account to play it. After begging my brother to share his games on steam so I could play, he refused. I finally decided to stop being cheap and actually dished out some money for a copy. It feels so good to be roaming post-apocalyptic Southern California again, after all, it's my home territory.

Is it bad I like the new fallout games and the older ones? I feel like you can only enjoy one or the other.

Nope. I like Fallout 1 and 2, but I like the new ones too. Especially New Vegas. Though I honestly feel New Vegas was the best entry of the series. Well, either New Vegas or 2, but I couldn't really get into 2 because IT'S TOO HARD OKAY

Once I realized that losing in Pocket Mortys has absolutely no consequences, and you get to keep all of your experience I began to like it a little bit better. It was kind of stressing me out before I caught on to that.

Older fallouts are all about the strategy. Got to have the right amount of agility points and know when to pick a fight.

Never played it. My daughter just got a new Pokemon game a couple days ago, but I have never actually tried one. I don't have a problem with them, or anything. It just never happened.

I know, but playing on Easy makes me feel bad about myself so instead I just don't play at all.

I've enjoyed all the Fallout games so far. F3's story is kind of an unimaginative rehash of 1 and 2 but otherwise it's an enjoyable way to kill 40+ hours or so. Haven't tried 4 yet but I kind of want to read Varrok's disgusted attack of it so I should play it first.

I think we can agree, the greatest feature of all the Fallouts is the ability to kill children in 1 and 2.
