    How much money is EA going to make on Star Wars Battlefront? It doesn't have a single player mode, and I don't like online games, and EA usually fucks things up royally with releasing unfinished and broken games and screws gamer's wallets ... yet I've already pre-ordered it.

    No way I pass on being able to fly a TIE Fighter

    I was convinced it would be re-skinned Battlefield but the Hoth video gave me goosebumps.
    Yeah, it does look pretty badass ... but we all know the servers are going to be a mess for the first month or so ...

    Very good point. They'll be dicey, you could say.

    Just started playing Bloodbourne. Damn, this is one tough game. I feel as though I have learned a lot about the gameplay already, but I have definitely died probably around 100 times already. It is cool as hell though and the graphics are awesome. Looking forward to seeing how the game progresses.....if I can beat some of these insane enemies!

    If you like to play games with your friends ... while they are actually in the same room with you ... I highly recommend TowerFall Ascension. It's a PSN store game for the PS4. It costs $15 and it is fun as hell. Up to four players running around with old school graphics shooting arrows at each other. The matches are fast and furious.

    Finishing up the loose ends on far cry 4. Solid game. It got panned a but because I guess it is similar to 3... but I didn't play 3 so I'm immune.

    LikE a cross between red dead and assassins creed. Usually I have trouble finishing games out bit this game held my interest. Fun activities and crazy battles.

    I loved it. Actually completed 100 percent of everything which is unusual for me.

    That worries me a bit because I'm prone to sequelitis. I did 100% of FC3, loved it.

    Far Cry 4 is bad ass. Once you get the gyro copter and 60 Max ammo on the grenade launcher, well, let the good times roll!

    Out of all the games I've played on the PS4, the average time played is around 5 hours. I've spent over 40 hours on FC4 and I'm probably only 35% thru the main story.

    I was thinking Fallout 4 was coming out at the beginning of September but just found out it is 11/10. Bummer.

    I was about to give up Witcher 3 and throw it into a wall. Was stuck on a mission in a cave, with a sliver of energy, nowhere to revive, and a host of hard enemies who kicked my ass. Combined with the long-ass loading screens I almost had enough.

    I grinded through it though and the experience trained me how to fight and also do a lot of the other stuff like crafting and whatnot. I also got the Sun and Stars skill which actually allows my energy to replenish. Game is good now.

    I still hate the sounds it makes when you eat or drink something... yuck

    Reminds me of the Legend of Dragoon, I got stuck somewhere that I couldn't get out of...and never did!

    I kind of like challenge in games and points where you need to retry a number or times to get past areas... especially early on when you really have to scrounge together some sort of weaponry and armor. I usually start off on harder difficulty just to get that experience... I got it here for sure.

    I was really struggling with the controls though and also those eternal loading screens every time you die.

    I was hoping to skip Metal Gear Solid 5 (because it takes me 30 minute to figure out the controls each time I play it), but it is getting stellar reviews ... even a rare "10" from Gamespot.

    Yeah, I wasn't too wild about the last couple MGS games...not sure I even played the last one.
    That said, this one looks pretty fricken awesome. Both reviewed I read (IGN, Gamespot) gave it 10's, and Metacritic has it at a 95.
    I'll definitely be picking it up!

    Fuck, I still have to complete Bloodborne.

    You know, I hardly play games anymore. Granted, there aren't exactly a lot of good games flooding the market right now, but between work and finding the time to actually sit down and play...I probably turn the thing on once a month. Maybe I'm just getting old and crotchety, but I'm also starting to hate learning controls for games. I took a month off of Bloodborne, popped it in and couldn't remember shit...and got killed a lot before it came back to me. hahahaha!
