That second EA Battlefront is actually pretty good now, definitely worth it whenever it is on sale. The gameplay is great, the campaign is solid enough (especially for Star Wars fans) and visually impressive, and all the nonsense has been taken out.

 

Thanks I'll give that one a go.

 

I haven’t played a game in a few days and this sucks

 

Same here, I feel your pain

 

that’s my whole fuckin’ life. we watch too many tv shows to have game time lol

she got The Sims 4 yesterday though and i’m hoping she gets as hooked on that as she suspects she will so i can play the Switch guilt-free

 

I have school from like noon to 2 pm and right after that I have to go straight to work from 3 to midnight so like no time st all.

People are like play games before school and I’m like nahh that’s relaxing time lol.

 

Do you at least have weekends off?

 

I'm still playing Astrobot like crazy. I think I have one more challenge level and I'll have 100%'d the game. Then I'll probably move on to Moss, or maybe download Tetris instead.

 

Friday/Saturdays off but I usually spend that time going out to hang with friends and stuff or movies. I’m a busy man.

 

Really tempted to pick that up. I love a good platformer. You just need VR and a DS4 controller right? No wands?

 

Correct. It's such a great platformer.

 

just finished Night In the Woods - so good!! the pathos showcased by the game is extraordinary

 

I purchased that, have heard great things, but still have not played.

 

it’s closer to a graphic novel than a game tbh

I love graphic novels (and VGs) so I was thrilled

 

I actually kind of like when games put all the ? marks and everything on the map cus I like to know that I am seeing everything worth seeing and it helps channel my sense of like "ok i am making progress, I just cleared this section of the map". But I do agree it can be overwhelming and make it feel almost chore like.

I think AC: Origins does a really good job though. Everything still feels pretty interesting almost 50 hours in. It's not just like repetitive restricted areas. And I like that it doesn't really have normal collectibles. Far Cry 4 felt a lot more repetitive and chore like to me. And I agree with @tucah about needing to do every little thing in an RPG, but that's kind of why I like when it's all laid out on the map for me.

 

I’m glad I’m not a big completionist when it comes to RPGs, I would be too overwhelmed with how games are made now

 

it's wonderful. just perfect, inventive platforming with charm and personality to spare (all while constantly surprising and immersing you with vr). it (and tetris) are what pushed me over the edge to buy a vr set and i don't regret it one bit, one of my favorite games last year.

 

Exactly where I'm at it actually becomes stressful for me which... defeats the purpose. But I mean once I get pretty comfortable with a game it doesn't bother me, but it makes me scared to start them.

 

is there more stuff out there along the lines of NoClip and Indie Game: The Movie? always been super interested in the behind the scenes stuff and am looking for some more.

 

I like The Messenger, but for some reason it's just not as much fun as I expected it to be. There are some frustrating things about it.

I started playing Celeste last night and instantly the world, the characters and the mechanics draw you right in. I'm excited to see where that goes.

 

Bought this like two months ago. Can't wait to start it.

Spiderman DLC is pretty so-so thus far. Story missions are glorified crime encounters sometimes and the screwball 'challenges' are about as fun as licking a bus seat.

 

Celeste is one of the few games where I wish I could wipe my memory and enjoy it fresh again.

 

Gaming Historian is pretty legit

 

I loved the time I spent with The Messenger. Once it opens out and gives you the 8bit/16bit stuff from the trailers its just a delight to play. Really enjoyed the dialogue too

 

i have never heard of God Eater but it is apparently just Monster Hunter with an anime coat of paint. where do i insert my money
