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.

I still can't decide if I liked Until Dawn. It had some genuinely cool elements but certain things were painfully annoying (overuse of quick-time events, choppy framerate, etc.)

But yeah, I got it on the cheap too so can't complain too much.

The Evil Within 2 is corny as fuck but has some pretty fucking cool monster designs and BEAUTIFUL lighting...

Can't wait to try it out in 4k with HDR

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.

I loved Stick of Truth, and if Fractured is but a fraction as good as that, I will enjoy it. Gonna get it for Xmas and play it over the holidays. Hopefully, some of the game breaking bugs (PC) I've heard about will be sorted by then.

It sounds like the HD port of Resident Evil on Switch turned out really good, the one thing I wanted was motion pointer for guns, and they did it. 1080p, 60fps is pretty solid.

One of the few movie-based video game instances where the game was actually better than the movie

haven’t had actual good times playing video games in a long time but this Mario does it. Fun around literally every corner.

I also love that this game doesn’t pull you into some kind of collect-craving, at least it doesn’t do that with me... after an hour or so I feel like putting it down, and picking it up again is just enjoyable. Love it!

Agreed, I don't have time to play really involved, convoluted games anymore. Mario is great to just pop on for a little while and have mindless fun, and the controls are super tight 

If anyone is playing Destiny2 (PC) looking for members for a fireteam... hmu!

I haven't touched AssCreed since Revelations. is it not completely creatively dead by now?

Sometimes I'm having trouble doing precise jumps, like on the tops of trees.  I guess I'm used to the old Mario 64 camera system, but as you pan the right stick down, the camera somewhat zooms in, correct?

I think if you pan around to look in front of mario then it automatically zooms in. I haven't had a problem with the camera yet, although I don't use motion controls at all so I might not be trying the harder jumps you are talking about?

It is, and this is probably the worst AC game of them all. I need help.

 

Really? I've been hearing the complete opposite - actually having some polish and shine added, combat is actually a challenge instead of counter fighting all the time. What don't you like about it? (Only placed AC1 and 2 fwiw)

Unity is the French Revolution one that got universally panned.

Ah shit right, Origins is the recent one right? Unity must of been the wake up call (though there was that London one after too I think)

Currently playing Super Mario Odyssey! Absolutely brilliant game. I find myself smiling or laughing a lot when playing because it's so full of joy. I love Mario games so much :)

After I'm done with Odyssey, I'm going to go back and continue Zelda: Breath of the Wild.... For me, this is probably Game of the Year. I haven't had as much fun with another game this year (Mario might overtake it by the end, as it is very close....). I haven't played the main story so much because I can't get enough of exploring the world. Nintendo really outdid themselves this year. Persona 5 is probably the only game that comes close to either of these two masterpieces, but I haven't actually played a whole lot this year.

Meanwhile, my Final Fantasy XV still hasn't even been opened, and I've had it since day 1 last year.

The London one was pretty okay. It was too far into development for them to scrap it when Unity tanked but ye, Unity was the primary reason they skipped 2016. Origins is supposed to be pretty sweet from what I've read.

I think I've long forgotten what joy is, but SMO does look lovely. Still on the fence about getting a Switch but that and BotW are certainly tempting me.

I've actually been playing Stardew Valley on the PC again for some wholesome fun, I forget how addictive it can be.

Ah that's right, got confused!

I'm just happy to hear that Nintendo is a major factor again. Post-64 the whole PS vs XB thing basically devolved into a war of who had the more coveted exclusive games on two systems that had pretty similar ambitions and aesthetics. I want to get a switch on black friday.

A watmm teamed Splatoon 2 match would be cool, but we all seem to be in different time zones.  And it won't work with NAT type D, as I found out.  I have to use mobile hotspot to get a multiplayer connection on Switch.
