I've heard they're redesigning it anyway so even if you did want one, now might not be the time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

I have a friend who bought the steam controller and he says he regrets it. Take that however you will. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

Goh, can you show us on the doll where Nintendo touched you? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

Looks like I'm getting this after Nioh. 2017 is turning out to be a pretty good year for Playstation exclusives. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I highly doubt that they put together a new account system that tracks and redownloads all your purchases in less than a month. Even if they weren't finished, they had to have at least known that they were working on it.

Nioh has an option to let you turn down the graphics a bit in order to get 60 FPS gameplay. Every console game should have this in this day and age.

Good grief, Nioh is even harder than Bloodborne was. It took me a whole day just to beat the first mission's boss, and that was WITH people I had summoned to help me. Even the overleveled people kept getting killed. I eventually beat the bastard by using hit and run moves, but damn was it hard. I chalk a lot of that up to the combat. Compared to your average Souls game, there's a lot more going on here you have to work with. Each weapon can be wielded in high stance for power, low stance for speed, or mid stance for a balance of the two. So not only do you need to pick the right weapon for the job, but also the right way to use it. That's on top of the magic and ninja skills you can learn, which have their own upgrade categories to manage. As if that's not enough, if you run out of stamina then you can't even move until you're out of the red, but you can instantly get back lost stamina if you hit R1 at the right time after an attack. Mastering all of these systems is mandatory to get anywhere with this game, and it sure as hell isn't easy to grasp at first, but damn does it look cool when you figure it out.

Come at me, you filthy yokai.

Bloodborne I had a much better time with this than I did with Demon's Souls, though some of the things I griped about with that game still apply here. It's too easy to get lost, there's no attempt whatsoever to convey the story to the player, and farming for healing items can be a chore. Also, this game introduced a new thing I hate with the Frenzy status, which fills up a bar EXTREMELY quickly if you just walk too close to certain kinds of enemies, taking off NINETY PERCENT of your health when it fills up. Walking away doesn't even save you because the bar continues to fill up until you've taken the full amount of frenzy damage. Bullshit! And the items to cure frenzy are really expensive, too! That said, I didn't have to hateplay my way through this one. I enjoyed it for the most part, especially since the more aggressive combat helped with the pacing.

Why the hell was this not part of the Switch conference? This is a HUGE deal. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

Watch those microaggressions, Link.

This is Nintendo you're talking about. The GOTY edition will cost 80 dollars and will continue to cost 80 dollars until the Switch is dead.

I borrowed a copy of Bloodborne, figuring I'd give the series another chance even though I didn't like the last Souls game I played. I'm not doing great so far because I'm still stuck in the first area. It's not because I keep dying, but because I have no idea what the fuck to do. There has to be a boss around here somewhere but damned if I can find him.

The statues are cumulative at least, so when you play it again you only have to get that one.

Metro: Last Light Pretty good to finally get this one off the backlog. I already have 60% of the trophies for both games in the redux collection so I might just go back and get the platinum for them both. edit: BOOOO. There's a glitch or something in Metro 2033 which prevents one of the trophies from unlocking, which means I'll never be able to platinum it. There goes all my interest in replaying it.

Anybody else try that For Honor beta? It's actually kinda fun when the matchmaking actually works.

Seeing that I've been going through some of my backlog while waiting for Horizon to come out, I decided to start Metro: Last Light. I got the Redux collection for the PS4 a while back (this was before I got my new pc) and while I did beat the first game, I never got around to the second.

Broken Age was sitting there on my PS4 from a previous PS+ month and I'd never gotten around to beating it so I went ahead and did that and got the platinum while I was at it.

Zenimax is seeking an injunction to stop sales of the Oculus Rift. Oculus are in trouble, aren't they?

Ethan Must Die? More like "Ethan Is Just Strongly Encouraged to Die." Back at 100%! Suck it, RE7!

I tried it a few times. Haven't beaten it yet. I feel like I probably could with enough practice but I want to get Night Terror mode out of the way first.
