@Hero\-of\-Time, great to see you finally getting through Bayonetta (and hopefully Bayo2 as well ) I always had the feeling that if you got into the game more it'd eventually win you over, did try to let you know too. Anyway, looks like I'll be updating my diary again after all, as the credits rolled on Just Cause 3 yesterday! :awesome: What an entertaining game, and easily the best sandbox title I've ever played. The amount of stuff you can do by combining all of Rico's tools is just incredible. It's also a game that pushes the PS4 to its limit! Once you start getting creative (i.e. silly) with the chaos, it's pretty much destroying the console! For example, I filled a truck up with about a dozen bodies + other random stuff but with so many physics based objects in a confined space the frame rate took such a huge hit! Literally single figures per second it looked like! I'm amazed the engine even allows for that. You'd expect some objects to vanish over time, but it seems like there's no limitations in place! Anyway, I fully liberated the map before finishing the story, but still got quite a few collectibles to obtain and challenges left to do, not to mention just messing around with the citizens of Medici some more. Just a shame there's no option to change the appearance of Rico, as I'm not a fan of how they made him look like Diego Costa in this version.

Hehehe! Nice idea. I AM A SUPER PLAYER!!

OMG Yes! Love it.

Monster Hunter X was featured in this weeks imagine-nation: Warning! The following video is rated AP for annoying presenters! Vid is available until the 22nd. http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/vod/imagine/20151215.html @Hero\-of\-Time should get a laugh out of watching them try (and massively fail) to play the game. The male presenter thought his own health bar was the monster's health! Anyway, I like the way different styles/skills are getting introduced in this version of MH to mix it up even more. And of course how you can play as a Palico!

Yeah, Wii U & 3DS DLC/updates can be super flaky. It's only ever worked properly for me once. Every other time I've had to close and reopen the software. I'm sure the process will be a bit more streamlined with NX though. I actually don't even bother using Sleep Mode anymore.

Anyone else not able to get into the game today? I keep getting an error message. @Ugh first aid, 147 badges and you've only spent 90p?! Impressive. :awesome:

What do you think about her deformed (how ironic ) look in Smash Bros. though?I would've been all over a Bayonetta amiibo if it was using the correct proportions, but chibi-Bayo? If you compare to how she appears in Bayonetta 2 (with the scale adjusted so that her shoes are the same size) you can see how much bigger her head is in the smash version: And if you scale it so that her head is the same size, she ends up looking tiny!: Reminds me of this:

Hahaha! Nobody saw that one coming! Bayonetta's Smash model is all kinds of wrong though, she looks hilarious without her usual height. Not happy with yet another Fire Emblem character and not too fussed about Cloud either, but the pure insanity of Bayonetta makes up for it.

I've barely played Xenoblade Chronicles X. There's loads of games I wouldn't mind checking out that I held off purchasing too: Bloodborne, Toukiden: Kiwami, The Witcher 3, Tearaway Unfolded, Dragon Quest Heroes, Star Wars: Battlefront, Transformers: Devastation, Mad Max, Godzilla: The Game, Devil's Third, Affordable Space Adventures, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros., Hotline Miami 2... On the plus side, a lot of those will probably be in the bargain bin next year (a few of them already are ) so at least I'll save a bit of moolah, should I get around to picking some of them up in the future.

I'm on 97 badges with £1.80 spent. Would've had well over 100 by now, but I keep trying (and failing) to get the damn Crazy 8 badge with my free plays. Meanwhile that yellow feather on one of the Animal Crossing sets continues to fall down by itself... every single day.

It's been a fantastic gaming year for me, one that has introduced me to a new favourite franchise, changed my opinion of an entire genre and provided loads of online multiplayer laughs! Difficult to put them in order, but I've given it a go:

@drahkon has 0 games/trophies?!

Man... some of the shit that goes down in Saejima's chapter! I was so grossed out by the cutscene where...

Could ZL/R be in a worse location?

Yeah, I think the focus has shifted more towards multiplayer in Smash 4. Well, it's always been the main focus of Smash Bros., but like you say, the single player content was slightly more compelling in earlier versions.

You should've joined us for the N-E tourney, it was a right laugh. :awesome:If you're expecting Smash Bros. to keep you entertained as a single player experience, then you're inevitably going to be disappointed.

Hehehe! This really is a huge leap in terms of presentation for the series though. Also, clunky animation/mechanics come as standard in the Yakuza games (it's actually a big part of their charm for me ) so I expect what we're seeing here to be more or less the same in the finished product.

Finished up Kiryu's chapter last night... Some of his sub-quests almost killed me. Woman with the nose hair and the mixer party sub-quest being the highlights so far.

Oh. I got the impression it was a really tough game to complete.

100% on Destiny is impressive though.

Stunning visuals on that trailer! Kiryu looks way younger though, which is weird.

Really looking forward to this Smash presentation. N-E's staff predictions can be seen here: http://www.n-europe.com/features/smash-bros-fighter-ballot-predictions : peace:

Wow! I'm not familiar with those other games, but great job on getting the platinum for Just Cause 3 so quickly! That's a cool site for seeing trophy stats. :awesome: I've got some catching up to do:

2 more games for my diary, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and FAST Racing NEO. Blood Dragon was most entertaining due to its full-on cheesy 80's vibe. Gameplay-wise I thought it was pretty crappy, but definitely worth playing just to enjoy the gags/references though (for those of us that are old enough to get them that is ). Also took FAST Racing NEO for a spin this month. Gorgeous looking game that's also very challenging! I would've preferred a bit more content really, and some basic stat tracking could've gone a long way to making the online mode more appealing. However, considering the size of the development team and the price of the game, it's a nice addition to the Wii U library.
