Playing Yakuza Zero atm. New to the Yakuza series, bowled over by it so far. Great humour and quirkiness. Kind of like Shemue but more knowing.

have you killed any would-be suiciders yet?

The crash bandicoot remaster is a little easy (meaning obvious) but damn if I didn't play the shit out of those games as a wee lil one

Nope. Did just help a foreign sex worker pair off with her abusive pimp so she can stay in the country though. Quirky Japanese humour eh :-/ ... yeah veering off course rapidly then

Yakuzo 0 is one of the games i want to pick up now i have a PS4 but it's still a little expensive.

after 3 false starts/resets i'm finally getting into Nioh. quite the learning curve to it. decided on an Axe/Sword + magic build. one thing about this game is the sheer amount of shitty drops enemies pick up. i spend way too much time trying to manage my inventory just for it to swell up again 5 minutes later.

i've already put around 30 hours into rocket league as well. i think i have a problem.

playing the crash bandicoot remaster. FUCKING PISSED THEY DIDNT INCLUDE CTR

I finished The Witness. Boy were the puzzles tedious at the end. I had to cheat a lot. Still don't understand why some solutions work. Ending sucked as well.

Just started Firewatch.

Just finished Firewatch. I really enjoyed it. Now moving onto Rise of the Tomb Raider.

2013? As in Enemy Within? If so that was a pretty dece expansion, especially having MEC units and playing the EXALT missions.

I wonder how the upcoming XCOM 2 expansion will be. (due out end of August)

Ending was a cop out imo.

Yep, I'm struggling like a motherfucker.

Think I'm like 3/4ths through the first game. V much looking forward to starting Crash 2, that was always my favourite.

vita exclusive? not really. but it was a great portable for playing indies that ended up on ps3/steam. both of the olli olli games were really fun. rogue legacy. shovel knight. it's a really great platform for old school 2d gaming. i'm sure there's tonnes i'm forgetting but i'd have to dig it out and boot it up to see what all i've got on there.

Hollow Knight: good, wonderful art

Everspace: dying in space endlessly, sort of kinda runs on my laptop

Tempted to buy NieR: Automata in the Steam Sale but have bought two games already. HMMM

Hmm not the expansion. Don't know MEC or EXALT.

Made a new character in Bloodborne, I was stuck in Old Hunters DLC NG+.  It's such a joy to play-through again, and looking forward to the DLC on normal.

I have also been playing the Diablo 3 Necromancer DLC for a few days.  Necromancer is OP, and I'm thinking will get nerfed before the next season starts on July 20th.  For now it is extremely satisfying hack'n'slash madness.

Cuz I remember the first XCOM: Enemy Unknown by Firaxis came out Oct 9, 2012. And then Enemy Within came out Nov 12th the following year. If you're playing the former then there won't be any of that stuff I mentioned earlier.

Both are pretty solid tho.

Oh yeah I don't know which adjective is after Enemy. I just bought it on Steam and it says © Firaxis 2013.

There's some achievements about modified soldiers and shit so maybe I do have the expansion and I just haven't unlocked the goodies yet.

Oh yeah. It probably doesn't tell you right off the bat, but I think shortly after you start it introduces the Meld. That's the stuff you can snag on missions to spend either genetic or cybernetic (MEC) upgrades on your soldiers, if you're playing EW.

Also...not to give away too many spoilers, but you're gonna want at least two MECs before the Newfoundland mission, which I think pops up in the month of May or June in the game. And aliens aren't gonna be your only problem once EXALT shows up.

picked up BOTW again, with the first part of the DLC now out.. collected the things which are well... collectibles.. also now have completed all the shrines.. the master trial thing is basically like the VR missions in the original MGS, I like this.. gotta seriously improve my combat to get even close to winning this. Eventide Island was my fav+ thing in BOTW and it's more of that. But, tbh I feel super exhausted & empty inside after sinking another ten or so hours into the game. Would feel like this with any game tho..

Hm? When does it introduce the Meld? I dont' think I have this, lol.

i've gotten too about 3/4 of the shrines. in fact it's been FOREVER since i've found one, and it sucks. any trick to finding them?
