Resident Evil 7 It took me about ten hours, I think. I don't feel like booting up the PS4 just to check my save file. Anyway, this was a much needed shot in the arm for the series after the disaster that was RE6. In fact, after the last game I told myself I was done with this series, and pretty much the only reason I picked up this one was because it didn't even look like an RE game. I'm glad I did though, because this is one of the best games in the series. I'm sure everyone has their own opinion whether they prefer this, RE4, or RE1, seeing that they're all completely different games, but I can say without hesitation that this game at least deserves to be involved in that discussion. I'm gonna try to platinum this one, but it might be harder than the last four games I did...Speedrunning the game in under 4 hours is gonna be a bitch. I should mention that probably at least two of those ten hours came from me wandering around not knowing what to do. The game gives you vague objectives just to remind you what you're supposed to be doing, but there are no objective markers or hand-holding involved. It tells you to go find X or go do Y and then you're on your own.

What? Capcom have had consistently high quality ports for a while now. At least, from the Japanese side. And if the demo is any indication, RE7 will be no different. Is there a specific one you're thinking of that was poor? The only recent one I can think of is Dead Rising 3, though I have no idea how bad it actually was. RE4, DMC3, and yeah, Dead Rising 3 was another one, though to be fair it seems like they did eventually fix that port for the most part.

Traded Watch Dogs 2 and Dishonored 2 toward this, which ended up costing me 12 dollars. I would normally go for the PC version, but Capcom's pc ports are hit or miss. Also, there is a possibility that someday I might want to play this in VR, and if I get any VR headset I know it's going to be the PS VR headset. Some might scoff at PS VR, pointing out its lower specs compared to the rift and the vive, but what I think those individuals forget is that the rift and vive don't have support from a major first party publisher. I know the vive is Valve's baby, but excluding the little tech demo for the vive, Valve hasn't made anything since 2013. Plus, I can't devote an entire room to the vive.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty Never played the original and there's still some time before RE7 comes out. This was already on my PS4 from a previous PS+ month, so I figured what the hell. It's an interesting idea, but the controls are kind of wonky and it's kind of bullshit that so many of the slaves are tucked away in really sneaky, hard to notice areas when you have to save the majority of them to get the good ending. It's alright, though. A little dated, I think, but not bad.

True, but the switch is a lot more portable than the Wii U and it has a built in kickstand. It could make a pretty nice Netflix device. In theory. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

No streaming services at Switch launch because they were "making an amazing dedicated video games platform." Don't ever buy a console at launch, kids.

Human shields count against you if they get killed while you're holding them. I guess they figured it'd be too easy for you to just eliminate a whole crowd that way.

Polished off Day of the Tentacle HD real quick and got the platinum for it, then I finished Watch Dogs 2. Probably going to get the platinum for that too. It was a significant improvement over the original, although when it came to the writing I couldn't really divorce myself from this "how do you do, fellow kids?" vibe that I kept getting from the characters. Meh, I've seen worse writing, but I was very aware that a bunch of suits at Ubisoft were trying to be cool and hip.

I get what you're saying and all, but I'm just gonna say that if the success of the gaming market ever becomes tied to MOBAs and survival games, I'm just going to quit being a gamer right then and there.

I wonder how many smug Republicans out there are going to wake up one morning and find themselves without insurance.

Why the hell was FIFA even a talking point? Hell, why bother porting it at all? I guarantee that any serious sports gamers are playing FIFA on either a PS4 or an Xbone. There are a laundry list of reasons not to play sports games on Nintendo consoles.

Platinum trophy achieved for Dishonored 2. Now I can finally move on to Watch Dogs 2. For real this time. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I actually enjoyed Doom more when I played it a second time on the pc than the first time on the PS4, and not just because of the hardware upgrade. The first time I played the game I was still stuck on the way I usually play FPS game, which made it a lot more frustrating than it needed to be. The second time, now that I understood and knew what to expect, I said "come get some" and ran straight into every fray and it was a total blast.

What, you never heard of stuffed crust?

No detections playthrough of Dishonored 2 complete! Man, it's so much more fun in New Game + mode when you can really screw around with everything. Now that I've done both no kills and no detections, I guess it's time to move on to Watch Dogs 2. Then again, I still have some trophies left to get...

Frankly, I'll be very surprised if the battery life on that thing is longer than two hours.

Isn't it coming out for the Wii U as well? Is there any real reason to get the Switch version instead?

Dishonored 2, Corvo campaign. This game did what a sequel should. It fixed what sucked and added more than the original to make it better. About my only real complaint is the weaker story, and I still wouldn't say it's terrible. It's just okay. I also managed to get through the game without killing anybody. It was a pain in the ass but God damn it, I wanted that trophy. I haven't decided yet whether I want to replay it as Emily first or save that for later and move on to Watch Dogs 2. Decisions decisions... Edit: You know what? Screw it. I'm gonna do an Emily playthrough while the level layouts are fresh in my head. Since I did no killing with Corvo, this time I'm going to go for no detections for the entire game. Let's fucking do this!

Oh thank God, they added a nonlethal takedown to the melee combat. This is already better than the first game. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I thought about getting the PC versions of these games but... A) I had a gift card B) The PS4 versions specifically were on sale (at better prices than the steam sale) C) I probably won't want to keep these games forever anyway. I'll have my fun with them, then sell them for Resident Evil 7 or South Park

Has anyone played the PC version of Dishonored 2? How's the port? Steam reviews seem pretty mixed.

I read the latest One Piece chapter and I can't remember the last time I felt so angry at a manga. Not that the writing is bad or anything, but God damn it, reading what was happening in those pages had me grinding my teeth. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
