Going to give Witcher 3 another shot. tried it on PS4, but now on PC. Got through the first little bit and liked it more than last time already.
Snagged killing floor 2 as well....man that will be a fun multiplayer game.

The longer you play, the better it gets. Give it 70 hours or so and you'll be another fanboy proclaiming it the greatest game of all time too (for good reason).

Playing through the TW3 is amazing, then getting hungry and read all the books makes it even more amazing.

It's insane how fully fleshed out the Witcher world is.

I started playing Hollow Knight the other day. It pretty blatantly wants to be Dark Souls in a lot of ways but I'm enjoying it a lot.

Check out Dead Cells

I'm a huge sucker for metroid/vania games so I'll probably get on that

I mean, it's a series of books (soon to be a Netflix series), so I'd hope the setting would be fleshed out.

Just got a PSP 3000 dirt cheap. We'll see how that works out. I really only want it to play ROM's of R-Type and Gradius. Anyone still rocking a PSP? Good games to check out?

I liked Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble. A free-roaming beat em up with a customizable move set and "juvenile delinquent anime" theme. You can use your eye lasers to stare people down, shit talk them via a minigame, and then pimp slap them to death.

Depends on your taste, really. Here are some of my favorites from the psp, I'm probably forgetting some though, since it has been ages.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles
Persona 3 Portable
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core
Loco Roco/Patapon.
Valkiria Chronicles

Not sure how I feel about a Netflix Witcher series, the games and books were pretty conclusive, and games were the best format for it to be told, but we'll see I guess.

The more time I invest into Prey, the better it gets though, so far this is my goty, and I don't see anything else coming out this year that's likely to top it.

[MrNovember]

I think I'm going to pick up Prey when I finish Dishonoured 2. I hear they have a similar feel to them

[Olin]

Yeah there are a lot of similarities. Imagine System Shock 2 had a kid with Dishonored and there you go: Prey.

That just about has me sold.

Wolfenstein New Order is $6 on Steam.
Guess I know what I'm, doing tonight.

I am definitely enjoying mgsv but it's making me want to play all the others (even mgs4, would you believe it)

[foomanfat]

Trying my best to not buy PUBG.

[jrfox92]

So, even though I pretty much quit video games altogether a couple of years ago, and even though I know it's gonna be a massive rip off, I'm a little hyped by the trailers for Destiny 2.
Not enough to consider finishing the original or even consider buying it, but still.

[Andrew]

I think that series is only worth it if you're playing consistently with friends. Boring as batshit solo and relying on PUG players is pretty much useless.

[GAS KING]

Can't wait for destiny 2. On PC after selling my PS4....it will be nice to play destiny again.

The core game seems to be similar, but big quality of life changes. Easier for the solo/no friends player to find groups.

Back into Persona 5. Hit thirty hours today.
