I've been trying out a couple of games (just got a PS4) and one of them is Bloodborne which maybe one of the reasons I bought a PS4. (I like dark things lol) Holy crap the CC is fantastic!! I want Bioware to borrow this CC. Come on!!! I'm going to buy a PS4 just for Death Stranding. No I am not hyped, what are you talking about?  it looks interesting a shame it was a no show at e3. |

I finally finished playing Dragon Age Inquisition. I really love how Jaws Of Hakkon plays out and the inclusion of Scout Harding and Bram Kenric. The Descent is absolutely gorgeous and it makes the Deep Roads a much more interesting and fun journey. I love the new companions but....I can't believe they hired David Hayter and didn't have him voice a romance option!!!  That voice...  I really love Tresspasser as a conclusion. I enjoyed seeing all the companions again...except a certain Dwarf. I was surprised that he didn't want to talk to me, haha. It didn't bother me though, I have no love for him. I was much more emotional and invested than I was expecting. I even stopped just to listen to the amazing new bard songs. The ending is handled pretty well and definitely leaves you excited for what will come next... It's such a shame that the main game doesn't hold a candle to the DLC. It shows quite clearly that the developers are at their best when they focus on what they know and do best...creating a story-driven game in smaller, more focused areas. I appreciate that Descent and Tresspasser are a return to that instead of large, empty, boring maps. Jaws Of Hakkon is also pretty good at this despite the seemingly large map. I really don't like the vanilla game due to the large, boring, and empty maps with no real quests/character interaction/story and it is such a shame that you have to suffer through those to get to the good stuff. I am planning on playing either Pillars Of Eternity of Fallout next. Regardless of my choice, I am sure I will have fun.  |

Going at Rise of the Tomb Raider again. So far it's the only game I've played that triggers the mostly completionist part of my mind in a way. Something about it makes me want to find all the collectibles, do all the challenges and craft all of the things.
Introducing the bf to it next time we hang out.

I am planning on playing either Pillars Of Eternity of Fallout next. Regardless of my choice, I am sure I will have fun. I agree - I found Trespasser so much more fulfilling. I never finished the other 2 DLC because I attempted those before Trespasser and I apparently sucked because I kept getting killed lol. So I will try those after completing it my next run - which admittedly won't be for awhile with new games to play and the fact that I played DAI for about 2 years straight. I really hope that Bioware starts to rethink the open world thing. They need to concentrate on story. I don't care that you're giving me a huge desert if all I have to do in it is collect stupid shards! Who is your avi? Doris Day? I love Doris Day.  I sing like her around the house every time Pillow Talk is on. |

It's got the perfect mix for me of silly fun and interesting story, with characters that I get attached to. There are loads of silly and fun mini games and side stories, but the actual meat of the game is a serious yakuza power-grab story. The fighting gameplay is really fun and smooth as well. It's really hard to explain what makes it so great haha, I've known about it for years through friends who love the series, but until I started playing myself I didn't really get the hype. Like, I knew there were mini games but I didn't realize how well done, fun and silly they are! Also, specifically for Yakuza 0, it takes place in 1988 which is amusing, you have a pager and stuff x) Also I feel like it's turned me into a bit of a completionist, something which I NEVER am, and when I replay the game I plan to get all the side stories, complete the business storylines and do my best to beat all the minigames xD. The only reason I didn't this time is because there is a point where the story becomes really gripping, and then there is another point where you get locked out of doing the silly stuff. So, next playthrough . I'll leave you with a couple ideas of the joyful silliness of the minigames, but no story stuff because of spoilers (the story is good though, trust me lol): ETA: Also the main guys are pretty hot |

Ok, SOLD! lol. I have serious problem. But it does look pretty fun. I love games set in the 80's, etc. That's great. |

@janalilith Ah, yes! All the DLC is pretty difficult! I was level 27 with crafted armor and weapons...yet I still struggled! I only survived the end of Descent thanks to Sera and her talents. I am much more comfortable as an archer than a warrior! It felt like Blackwell was dying in every little battle we had. I totally agree with you though! I like these games best when they focus on the companions and story. Inquistion - and the characters - really suffered from this open world fad. Yes, it is Doris Day! She's just wonderful! "Move Over Darling" was my first Doris film but "Pillow Talk" came shortly after! I love singing along with her songs as well. Since you like things set in the 80s..may I recommend Night Trap? It's going to be released soon and it might interest you. I am starting either Pillars of Eternity, Fallout, or Technomancer tonight. I don't know which will win me over just yet, but I am so excited! |

I have FallOut4 and will get to that eventually - I started a run of it but life got in the way so I'll have to just re-start it again - not happy with the cuteness factor or my PC lol. He's not cute enough! I have expectations to meet. Poor Blackwall - he's often fodder for my battles lol. Except for that one time I got him decked out in fade-touched armor. I will check out Night Trap. I'm also interested in Pillars of Eternity. Have fun picking your next game . I kind of adore everything Doris Day. Also Bette Davis and Joan Crawford |

I finished Yakuza 0, my heart is broken...what a sad and beautiful story...what a great game  Now I'm doing Premium Adventure mode which is just finishing the side quests and mini games in the post-game with costume changes both silly and normal. |

POE is a great game - I can't wait for POE2 (romances!). I just downloaded Technomancer and played it for a bit, it looks interesting so far. I like the setting. Steam summer sale is the best.
I'm fighting the urge to dive back into DA games. Sort of want to start with a fresh DAO game and then work through to DAI.
