Waiting for the obligatory video about Switch Lites suffering from drifting analogue sticks.

You bet your sweet ass, I am I haven't seen much (wanna go in with as little knowledge of the game as I can) but I've seem some gameplay snippets and the shooting/stealth looks to be similar to Metal Gear Solid V, which was bloody awesome. As for the rest (exploration, the "walking simulator stuff", etc.); can't say much as I want to experience this myself.

You guys could've told me that this game is hella addictive and awesome Just unlocked Augmentations. Why not let me grind more to upgrade my gear even more

Nothing is sacred anymore.

Good old Activision fucking things up again. Spec Ops: Survival mode is exclusive to PS4 for one year (!!!!!!) there apparently was a "fair" (as fair as it can be with these things) system to unlock stuff which is locked behind mtx but that was scrapped Yup, not buying at launch. A couple of months later, second hand from ebay

I've always been a fan of the 4X genre. From Wikipedia: While I haven't played many of those games, I remember spending an insane amount of time with Civilization IV back in 2005 (and years go come) and Endless Space in 2012. What I love most about these games is: the complexity. There are so many aspects/variables/mechanics you have to keep in mind while setting up your every move (and grand strategy) and I love tinking about that shit Here's a shortened rundown of a decision I had to make in Stellaris: Console Edition: Do I want to try and destroy my neighbouring empire? Yes, because it has repeatedly attacked my bases it hinders my research it hinders my resource collection it hinders my exploration I HATE IT No, because I could negotiate a deal and later exploit their resource acquisition with a possible trade deal I could negotiate a deal and conquer every other empire with them and then backstab them at the very end it might have a far superiour military might than I have right now In the end I went with "Yes", which ended badly because the third argument in the "No" section was the reason why my empire got eradicated This is pretty much the main reason I love the genre: making decisions. It's also fun to figure out ways to exploit the AI. AI is never perfect and sometimes it can be great to just fuck 'em over Another aspect which I enjoy very much: You can usually save whenever you like and pick up anytime later. You can also pause mid-game and look at the entire situation/data without any sense of urgency. It's a relaxing genre to me and if I'm in the right mood for it I can spend many sleepless nights with it That reminds me...I need to get back to Stellaris: Console Edition.

Did not know that. Thanks

Also coming to Xbox One. Would be great if someone can change the thread title

No dedicated thread to put this in. Demo coming today.

Awesome! Not too fussed about the fact that DLC will be sold separately instead of the game coming as a GOTY edition or something, but I've wanted to play this for a long time and now it's coming to PS4 Can't wait!

Was about to post this. Not watching the trailer. Don't want to be spoiled February can't come soon enough...

Looking good. I've said that I won't by this but who am I kidding. The beta was great fun.

Games for Ocotber (just revealed in State of Play): MLB:The Show 19 The Last of Us Remastered Always been interested in MLB, so this is great for me The Last of Us Remastered was a given at one point. It's coming sooner than expected, to be honest. Perfect time to play it again

I don't recall asking you, though. Just kidding. Charge Blade was the weapon I used during my first 2 hours. It was quite possibly the worst choice because I was overwhelmed Might get back to that weapon at some point, though. Right now the Heavy Bowgun is growing on me. I was a little confused with the fact that you can't deal a lot of damage from a distance, but then I realized: With the way the battle system works, being able to deal full damage from far away would be OP. It's kind of obvious, really Love the different choices in ammo you get. Playing with the Heavy Bowgun changes battles completely. It was quite surprising. I guess most weapons play very differently from each other? Anyway, I'm farming Lunastra to craft the weapon variant I want. I don't really understand the Heavy Bowgun's stats and what synergises with it, but that's the beauty of this game: It's awesome to try and find out

That music Awesome. Character designs are incredible. It really does look good, doesn't it

I'm actually heavily in favour of giving the Heavy Bowgun a chance. The Insect Glaive was a pretty cool starting weapon for me, but I've had my close quarters fix and now I'm ready to fight from a distance

So...that Behemoth. That is one bad ass monster Kicks the crap out of me everytime. Anyway, after using the Insect Glaive for my now almost 50 hours of playtime I want to switch to something else. Either Dual Blades or Heavy Bowgun. Haven't quite decided, yet.

I know I'm pretty much talking to myself in here but I just have to gush Reached HR35, a couple more new quests opened up, which I didn't really expect. Also found a weird material (Streamstone) which I have no idea how to use Guess there's still a lot to explore The "cameo-quests" are also available now. Seeing Geralt in the New World was weird Haven't done any of those quests, though. Been doing a lot of SOS requests and it's so much fun teaming up with other Hunters. It's incredible how in sync people can get in a fight with pretty much no communication. So much fun. Decided to not buy Iceborne right now because I'll be busy with the base game for a while and I don't want new content to distract me from the shit ton of stuff that I have to complete. Oh, and FUCK YOU, Nergigante. Why won't you give me the final gem that I need to complete the armor set

Sorry, I just had to.

I still can't get over the artstyle The melancholy from the original is completely lost

And yet they keep getting showered with praise while other devs get slaughtered when performance isn't spot on.

After 31 hours the credits roll. What a game. Except for one or two quests I was having fun the entire time. Now...I probably won't play this for a while since I want to focus on Tales of Berseria but sometime in the not so far away future I will buy Iceborne and keep chugging away at quests from the base game and the expansion Edit: Hahahaha, well that was a fucking lie Lots of new quests opened up. Guess I'll keep playing this then...
