Well... Wolfenstein The New Order is very unexpectedly cinematic. Plays hella good, too. I like it!

I dont get why I would even use a keyboard/mouse for Rocket League. Seems like cancer.

Or that you would think that someone with a Gaming PC wont own a $30-60 controller.

PS4 owners.

Why arent you posting that you're playing Rocket League.

You're supposed to post something like:

"I checked out this game on the PSN+ offer, because it's about time there was actually a good game on it. May as well try it, even though I dont like Soccer or Cars. But I'll see what all the fuss is about because all my workmates, friends and friends' pets are playing this.

THEN I TRIED IT AND OMG. THE CONTROLS. THE 420s. SO FUN. I BET NINTENDO MAN WOULD LOVE THIS GAME TOO BAD HE CANT PLAY IT. I played with my friends and I totally dragged one of them across the entire field because he was to stubborn to hit the brakes."

So I'm 6 hours into Wolfenstein, still enjoying it, though I have a few concerns.

While my performance is now satisfactory (not totally optimal, but good enough) on Win 10, I still have issues with texture pop in. Tried a couple of fixes, still happens. When I tried RAGE on a free weekend ages ago I had the same issue. The thing is, neither The New Order or RAGE have very good texture quality at all, and both have technical issues with their textures. Am I missing something, or is this id megatexture technology just a steaming pile of shit? I'm not seeing the upside of it. Are there any games that actually use this well, because it sucks on both games I've played that have it.

So every time I go back to the rebel base there's been some bullshit busywork optional task they want me to do. Finding the retardinator's toys, the crying woman's wedding ring. I've not done either of these so far because not only are those things not fun, but it's not what I'm here to do. I'm playing Wolfenstein, you son of a bitch. I want to kill things. If it turns out that I get a bad ending for not doing these dumb, arduous tasks then I will legitimately break something. It's such a stupid game trope that needs to die, preferably by way of dual wielded shotguns.

The story telling is a bit meh. I really dig the alternate history concept, but the rest so far ranges from ok to bad. I'd normally be the last person to care, but the cinematic direction can actually be quite decent and they dedicate more time to cutscenes than I would normally like in this type of game, so I feel they should really justify that with some quality. The more inspirational themed parts are really quite jarring with the tonality of the gameplay, for the most part. The "romance" between BJ and what's her face is pretty cringe-worthy. So far it's exactly how Yahtzee described it; she spent 14 years wiping his brain-dead ass and now dey in luv. However, there's really no love to it. So far they've behaved more like fuck buddies than anything else, there's no emotional connection. I hope the plot improves or fucks off, either is acceptable but neither seems likely.

Sounds like you'd prefer The New Blood as that's less story focused and more action focused.

The megatexture technology is essentially just using one large non-repeating texture to cover the entire map. It's not necessarily going to provide better quality, and it might be better use of the artists time to produce fewer high quality textures that are repeated as needed (possibly with the help of procedural generation to make things look less ordered).

I started playing Virtue's Last Reward

It has a branching story, and I've reached a few "game over" bad endings, and a couple of "to be continued" screens where it appears I need information that I can learn from some of the other branches. The story does a nice demonstration of the iterated prisoner's dilemma problem. The puzzles have been varied so far, but there are a few cases where the solutions are not really guessable (combining an allen key with a pool cue to unlock a coin box?).

The game shows you what parts of the story you've played, and lets you jump back and forward to anywhere you've reached. So it looks like I've got a lot more to go.

I hope that game is available on another platform in the future because the first game was such an awesome mindfuck.

I think it is just Vita and 3DS for now. I'm playing on Vita, and the game can be driven entirely from the touch screen, so I'm kind of surprised it isn't available on Android or iOS.

I haven't played the first game, but this one has been fairly easy to follow standalone. It sounds like one of the characters appeared in the last game though (Clover).
