In the end, I got The Last of Us, Black Flag, and Valkyria Chronicles. MGS was $30, not 15, and I only budgeted for $40 all up, so that one had to be dropped. Valkyria Chronicles was an impulse choice, since I might be in the mood for a good JRPG someday soon and I seemed to remember the game receiving praise from the critics. I nearly got Dark Souls, but it was an unreasonable $35. I also had a hard time leaving Metro: Dark Light and Alien: Isolation behind. Both look good, but I didn't want to overdo it. 3 games is plenty for now. I like that I haven't played anything in ages, so now I have so many titles to choose from. |

Despite a couple of small issues, The Last of Us is so good. It's like a smart blockbuster movie. The writing is subtly deep. The gameplay is great fun too. Black Flag is a fun pirating game with an Assassin's Creed game attached, with all the good and bad things you'd expect from that. |

I've started the Witcher 3 expansions in my old save that I haven't touched in 14 months. Decided to go the Blood & Wine route first because it looks more interesting. I can't for the life of me remember how the combat works: I nearly got killed in the first quest against bandits. Are counterattacks useful? I can't remember if they're something you should be utilizing frequently and I haven't actually pulled one off to see for myself. Also do swallows regenerate if you have the ingredients? I noticed those at my disposal suddenly increased but I don't know why. |

Potions refill when you meditate so long as you have alcohol in your inventory. |

I've been playing Black Flag and don't really know what to think of it. I'm both enjoying it and already a bit bored by it. I think I'm starting to resent the generic open world template of so many recent games. On the one hand, I enjoy the freedom and the opportunity to go wherever I like, but on the other, I find myself hunting that meaningless animus fragment purely because it's an icon on the map. And if I stop doing the side quests and collectibles and focus solely on the story, I don't feel I'm getting the most out of the game. Still, I enjoy the pleasing focus on stealth in the assassination contracts and some of the story missions. I have only just acquired the ship, so the sailing should give me a nice break from my OCD compulsion to hunt down every single icon on the city maps. I still prefer the first AC to any other. When the world was open but the focus was firmly on the stealthy assassination missions, and there wasn't an overload of side activities. From AC2 onwards, it's become an action series with loads of filler. I also think AC1 had the most atmospheric setting and the most intriguing story. |

The pirating is the best thing in the game so you should enjoy the next few hours. |

So I let my 6 year old nephew play black flag and he was delighted. It was the first 'proper' game he's played. The delight on his face as he jumps into the hay makes it all worthwhile. Black flag is awesome |

I dont understand the hate that Medal Of Honor Warfighter received. Im close to completing the game and its relatively short and the campaign is a bit of a mess and AI is a little dumb, though its pretty much on par with all the COD games of late. I cannot comment on the multiplayer component, I will not touch it and highly doubt a community still exists but for me in regards to the single player campaign it was in some ways better than Battlefield 3 campaign. |

I dont know about Assassins Creed anymore, I really loved the series initially though I feel that I am probably burnt out from the series. After completing AC3 and concluding the Desmond Miles story I really dont see much point in playing any of the later games. Black Flag has been as low as $5 on Steam throughout multiple sales and the newer games the same deal. But I just cannot bring myself to purchase them. |

I will be playing Forza Horizon 3 at the end of the week (got the 4 days early access with the Ultimate Edition). Might hire some of your drivatars.

I reached this point after Black Flag. It was good, but the series is spinning its wheels. I'm yet to bother trying Rogue, Unity or Syndicate. |

I started playing Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare over the weekend, and have continued playing a few rounds each night. I got the game back when EA did that E3 promotion giving away the game, but never got around to playing it. Despite having a sequel which is essentially an improved version of the game, there are still enough people playing the original to find matches. That suits me, since I'm not ready to spend $50 on GW2, when it also has microtransactions. Over all, it is quite an entertaining game. Seems like a good one to have digitally so I can come back to it every now and then. Edited by jamesh, Sep 22 2016, 06:29 PM.

Got back into World of WEarcraft. Legion expansion is really good, the grind is disguised wel and the Demon HGunter class is brilliant. Anyone einterested in joiing up for some dungeons? I've not done them before but am keen to get a party together if anyone's keen. Highest Horde I have is 110, or 70 for Alliance. Oh yeah and a screenshot to draw attention ![]()

Gonna buy XCOM2 on PS4. Are "Shen's Last Gift" and "Alien Hunters" worth the extra $30?

Hearts of Stone was great. Funny, fun, and reminded me how good TW3 is at telling stories. It's a shame the villain, who's compelling as a mysterious demon that Geralt can't explain, turns into an Arkham City villain at the end. That didn't fit the story's mature tone at all. |
