The SNES Classic has sold almost 2 million units in the past 30 days.

Beat Resident Evil 7 (really enjoyed it), so jumped into Until Dawn. Can't tell if I'll like it yet, but it was $8 so what the hell.

looks good

is Cuphead harder than, say, getting a full A+ walkthrough in Hotline Miami? trying to gauge if the difficulty is in the sweet spot of challenging vs rewarding.

i played the first 10 levels or so, it was hard, but you would get the level after about 10-12 tries. 

really keen to try it.

also curious about Warframe, a free-to-play RPG/shooter that was released 4 years ago but which seems to have become a sleeper hit since then thanks to regular updates during those years. general consensus seems to be that it's a solid f2p alternative to Destiny.

A muscular tough chick, how unpredictable from Naughty Dog, women are becoming STRONGER in their games, soon one would fuck a boi with dem clitoris

Yep Warframe is fab and an excellent example of F2P done right. Fast, frantic gameplay, cool Gieger-esque character designs with a load of customisation options (though a lot of these cost the premium currency), lots of deep mechanics and a ton of loot to chase. Story missions are alright too. Also you needn't spend a penny on it, you can earn premium currency by selling various rare items to other players.

Only real issues is that the game doesn't explain a lot to you, you'll spend a lot of time reading the wiki. Also it's 90% grinding, if that's not your bag.

Haven't checked out much of the recent big open-world update but it's p cool from what I've done so far.

i got close to 3500 steam hours in fucking warframe :I ...

truth is it's an adequate time sink / button happy pasttime while listing to music or playing with your body with the free hand but not that much of a game really... there is literally nothing that can't be completely cheesed with the right loadout, so even "endgame" content turns out incredibly trivial. as FTP they need powercreeping gear to be able to make their bucks but they've crept in a total corner by now where conflicts are totally binary: be one-shot (due to broken enemy scaling) or perma cc the whole area 24/7, resulting in gameplay that's closer to diablo / clicker heroes than an action / 3rd person shooter title. so because there is basically no difficulty friction at all they make up for it with RNG and repetitiveness.

but if you stay away from the meta you can have a jolly time alright.

overall presentation is pretty great and getting better by the hour. art style is often very moebius (grineer) and giger-style biomechanics (warframes) inspired which is really cool. customization possibilities are ridiculous and when you start out there's shitloads to explore. if you're prone to completionist addiction / sunk cost fallacy i'd seriously be careful tho. tbqh i'd love to get most of that time back, i have sunk much less time in much better games... warframe really is more like an ongoing collector hobby.

the newest open world update IS pretty great tho and feels really fresh, only problem is it's very detached (loot economy wise) from the rest of the game so if you're a newb you're really wasting your time there (in terms of "progress"). one pro side of the no-skill-required-ness is that the community is usually very friendly and doesn't mind carrying you as a noob. devs are also quite receptive for criticism and frequently correct flaws... of which there are MANY tho. some bugs /exploits just stay in the game for YEARS. thing is there is so much content and gear by now they obviously lost overview / a coherent vision what's the game supposed to be.

blah blah so yeah "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle". good brainless fun tho. never tried destiny so no idea how it compares to that.

Completed Nier, all endings, and even let it delete my save data. Definitely pales in comparison to the polish of NieR:Automata, but I enjoyed it all the same (despite the grindiness of it at times and dodgy controls). I want to replay Nier:Automata now and see what I missed. Or maybe Drakengard 3. Or, actually, some other game that isn't so melancholy...

played though heart of stone on the witcher 3. beautiful stuff. makes me really sad ive now finished it. im going to wander round doing some more sidequests, although im now grossly overleveled for them. 

Mario Odyssey is everything I want from a Mario game and more.

Beat the story, then the whole game opens up :O

haven't played it yet but it seems like lots of people beat it already. is it too easy?

Just beat Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

Good game overall, but the ending felt abrupt. But that's okay, because you can actually keep playing unlockable missions after the credits roll.

I died a shitload of times though before completing the main story. Not sure if it's because it's challenging, or I'm an amateur.

I had never heard the theory before that DOOM is in the future of the Wolfenstein timeline.

Pls dont let that be a spoiler.

it isn't anything.

based on headlines i've read it's just a fan theory based on some easter eggs in wolf 2

I've seen on some Wikia page that Doomguy is the descendant of BJ Blaz. But there's still no indication in the new Wolfenstein that the two games follow the same timeline at all.

Doom has a story?

Wrong, DOOM 2016 establishes that the Doomguy (now DOOM slayer) is actually a denizen of Argent D'Nur

I meant the original 1993 Doomguy. The one that my 7th grade female bus driver looked like.

The story is meant to be beaten easily. The rest of the game is hard as fuck. 

Just finished South Park: The Fractured But Whole tonight, while it was a good game, with lots of laughs and the combat is definitely more dynamic... I can't help but feel like Stick of Truth was a slightly better game, better story and more laughs. They included a download code for the ps4 version so i might have to jump back and replay to confirm.
