Deadlocked/Gladiator is one of the worst games in the series, so you're going to love this.

Don't worry, I've been playing the Ratchet & Clank Trilogy recently, so they're almost sure to be part of next month's PS+ games.

Are you buying a house? That seems to be all the rage these days.

You have to start over from the beginning when you die (although some games let you retain certain things), and as Jonnas said, the levels are randomized.

Really? Have you had Drahkon on ignore or something? Because they're all he ever talks about. They're permanent-death games.

That seems like it'd be really easy to set up, too! And then if she starts laughing uncontrollably at the absurdity of you and her being in a relationship, at least you'll have saved face.

What an awful introduction to the series. Not only is it the second half of the Arena story, but it also spoils the plot of Persona 4, which deserves a lot better than this. You really messed up there, 'Shell.

"So I found a gray hair in the shower last weekend and I know it's not mine... Maybe we should be exclusive?"

Have you played Persona 4 and the first Arena game? Otherwise I see why you'd be confused.

Not having any contact at all during the week seems way too casual to me. You should remind her that neither of you is getting any younger and that her biological clock is ticking.

I wish you and Goron would just do it already. I can't take all this sexual tension.

Well, I mean, you were all thirteen years old at the time...

True, spelling 'girls' with a Z is pretty obnoxious, but at least he didn't refer to them as 'females'.

Wasn't he on Parks and Recreation?

Ah, back when the standard advice in the dating thread was "punch her in the arm and pull on her pigtails."

He could ask her to come over for Teletubbies and chill?

Sons of Anarchy is trash, so I wouldn't feel too bad about not liking it if I were you. Now this opinion, on the other hand, is offensive.

Well, I guess we'll find out!

I didn't like it. The cases are predictable, the characters are one-note and the trials are completely ruined by the awful mini-games you have to play every few minutes. Your mileage may vary, though - I know NeoGAF loves it. But at least now you've been warned. :p

You look like Goafer, so if that's what you were going for, good job.

At least on the PS4 main screen, there are no random people speaking German. Okay, no one tell Ronnie about rest mode.

I played up to the boss of the Great Bay Temple just last night, but unlike you I'm going to keep my eyes on the prize and keep going, because I know what usually happens when you take a break from a game. Honestly, Nando, this is a backlog thread. You should be ashamed of yourself.

It doesn't sound like you're a huge fan of the series, so maybe you'd be better off just dropping the games from your backlog. And no one plays Call of Duty for the campaigns, so you can drop Advanced Warfare, too. And Fallout 4 wasn't all that. Man, you're flying through your backlog!

I'm playing this right now! Join me, Shorty. I'm only three quarters of the way through, so you'll easily catch up. :p I'd like to do a full playthrough of the entire Metal Gear series at some point, so four Metal Gear Solid games doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

Well, good news! There's a 150-issue Fables comic book series. :p
