Ah, you're right! That's right, folks: up to 85% off of their games, or $53 for a 21-game bundle. Incredible.

I do agree with those, however, who think the combat diminishes BioShock Infinite. You can't really reconcile what the story is trying to be and what you're actually doing. It tries to hang a lantern on it with your female companion getting pissed at you, but the next minute she's happily tossing you ammo.

I tried BioShock last year. The gameplay mechanics and controls just threw me right off. Couldn't stand it. and I WANTED to like this game.

Bleh.

I hear great things, though, about Infinite as well!

So... Witcher 3. Great game. I have sworn a few times due to the controls (though I think it's more my sorta broken xbox controller that's the cause of many of these snafus) but otherwise it's a great game. Immersive and beautiful, with a good world setting. I had played Witcher 2 and enjoyed that too - this one takes all those same gameplay mechanics and improves upon them all.

It also frequently makes you choose and sometimes those choices are easy (as in, I'm a nice guy so I'll let x happen) and at others they're quite hard. I just recently had to make a choice about whether to believe a character and later I realised that I probably made the wrong choice, and it's really annoying me!

I love any game which makes you feel like this.

Pretty much everyone I know is going mad over the Witcher and I don't even know what it's about, but it looks pretty dang cool.

In regards to mobile stuff, I think the 3DS is probably the best portable gaming device you can get right now. For one, the compatibility with a bunch of older stuff, and it's actually got some really good titles on it. Then again, I've almost always been into Nintendo stuff (after I stopped being a SEGA fanboy), so yeah.

As for what I've been playing. Well, not really 'lately' as I always play that game nonstop like every other day, but I've been playing Age of Empires II. The fact that it's on Steam means you can get the expansion with a bunch of fixes and changes and even more civs (yes, with new pixel art as well), which is very nice. I'm pretty big into indie games, as well, but the best ones haven't gotten any recent updates. Aside from Project Zomboid, which is getting a new one in a few days.

The most recent release I've played was Ori and the Blind Forest, and I'm pretty sure it's one of the best games ever made. It's definitely the most fun platformer I've ever played, and all of the nifty mechanics it incorporates so that it's much more dynamic than a standart 2D sidescroller definitely pay off, and are definitely super fun. Great visuals, great sound and music, story is simple but nice. Gameplay is fantastic.

Oh, and before Ori, I played through Dying Light. Anyone played that? Gameplay was super interesting, and the main plot was good, even if at points the game was pretty bland. I just liked the fact that they added a different flavor to the whole Zombie thing.

That being said, League of Legends is also a thing, and it's got the whole competitive aspect of it, which is rather nice. eSports, yo.

If we're talking about games as an artform, then Ori is definitely one of the greats. That being said, it is also one of the greats in just about everything else.

Also, if you guys are into cool neo-war but also weird and creepy but fantasy-ish stuff, you should definitely play Metro: Last Light. There's a new version that's prettier and with some new stuff on Steam, and it includes the original game, too, Metro 2033!

Oooh, yeah, that game. I can't wait till I get my hands on it, that's definitely on my must play games list. I've generally been really excited at the stuff Nintendo's been putting on their consoles, lately. When I saw the first trailer I thought it would have something to do with Super Mario Sunshine cause it was so similar in some ways.

Sorry you have a hard time having fun.

I couldn't care less if the ME Andromeda thing was a cutscene or not, for me it announced what direction they were going in for it and it was a teaser. That's enough for me.

The only presser I've watched all the way through was EA's, but I heard Microsoft and Sony did really well with theirs. I've heard great news coming out, with hardware and some great game announcements. (EA's for me was mostly meh, seeing some Catalyst stuff was nice but gameplay was nothing new over the last game, just prettier. Also that Battlefront gameplay, mmmm.) So far it seems to be shaping up to be a good year.
