I was supposed to get a copy of that when I picked up my PS4 recently but they’d run out 
definitely on my list though. Nice to see that Guerilla have finally worked out how to add a decent character to good gameplay!
Just finished the first two Destroy All Humans! games that I picked up from a bundle a little while ago, solid 7/10 games that know exactly what they are and do it with humour. I miss Pandemic 
I love Pandemic. I’ve tried a bunch of its offshoots and variations, and some are better than others (the new Cthulhu Pandemic is very clever) but the best by far is Pandemic Legacy, which I would say is one of the best board games I’ve ever played, and easily the best “legacy” game. Permanently destroying cities, tearing up cards, opening sealed boxes to unveil new items that completely change the game as you go… it’s a time investment, but it’s worth it.
Ah, my mistake. I’m not a video gamer at all.
I was really into Rocket League for a couple of months when it was newish. I also found it was a huge adrenaline rush, which is not always a good thing. 
I stopped playing a bit before they added all the various game modes.
Currently playing Project CARS (I’ve learned to skip events involving certain car types because they feel completely wrong and are frustrating as hell), Diablo 3 with the Necromancer expansion (officially now, not just beta), and started Nex Machina but it’s currently crashing after finishing the first level of the second world.
I want to try out the new Cyrodiil mod for Skyrim, but Sony are not allowing it for the PS4.
My game life needs are pretty small.
Rez Infinite is finally out for PC (on Steam) and discounted a bit. Tonight I will be reliving the year 2001, except with fewer jaggies 
Relating to games in general, I just got back from five days at GenCon in Indianapolis, and it was rather overwhelmingly bonkers. I play a lot of games, living with hard-core tabletop gamers, though it’s not my main passion, so I was more or less along for the ride, but still had a good time.
GenCon is fucking enormous. I’ve been to lots of cons of various sorts, but… yow. Total attendance: 76,000. It took up the huge convention center, a nearby football stadium, and all of the meeting-area space of eight nearby hotels. The dealer’s room alone took days to explore.
All organized games have to be signed up for months in advance, and I only got into a few: a session of The One Ring RPG (very Tolkien-y!) and a rollicking Star Wars: Edge of the Empire adventure where I was a Wookiee freedom fighter. I also played a few sessions of True Dungeon, which is basically a high-budget mini-LARP. Much time was spent exploring all of the new games debuting or being demoed, such as Star Wars Legion and Pandemic Legacy Season 2. The hottest selling item of the con and the hardest to get ahold of: Bob Ross, the Art of Chill.
All in all, it was exhausting and fascinating. Did anyone else go?
I finally finished Amdromeda a few weeks ago and I finally went back to re-read @nungesser’s comments and yours.
I’m on my phone right now so writing anything in depth would be painful but I want to say your commentary and complaints were all completely on the nose.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your observations.
A few days ago I decided Project CARS has too many bugs and annoyances fo rme to keep sticking with career mode (physics that goes completely nuts under some conditions, AI drivers unaffected by rain, no way to quit/forfeit a completely broken race or series)… and now Dirt 4 is on sale on Steam for the first time. 
I haven’t played it for long, but it’s a very different experience from Dirt Rally so far. I’m so used to bored-sounding British guys as codrivers/pit engineers in racing games that a cheerful American woman for a codriver is kind of a shock. 
The tracks are dynamically generated which means less distinctive scenery. The physics mostly feel pretty good, but I’m going to have to take baby steps and work back up to shifting manually. Thankfully there’s a rally school and joyrides and that sort of thing for just getting a feel for a car and doing donuts and such.
Finished Doom 2016 a few days ago. Damn fun game, although IMO the boss fights were just bad - the entire game is about providing you with arenas to run around in fighting hordes of demons, but then the boss fights are more “sure that was fun, but now we’re going to stick you in a small circular room without cover”. Regardless, one of the better FPS’ that I’ve played in a long time.
Started on Rise of the Tomb Raider, which so far is like the previous game so that’s decent enough. Doesn’t quite do the switch from player-control to game-control as well as the Uncharted series, but fun is still fun.
Finally downloaded the Darkest Dungeon Crimson Court expansion. I conceptually like it, but there are new mechanics that aren’t well explained and it’s too buggy to play for long. Guess I’ll wait for a patch.
Are there other good roguelikes for PS4, does anyone know?
I’ve been playing Steamworld Heist lately. Fun single-player turn-based tactics game, with some physics on shots so you can use ricochets or bouncing weapons.
I completed the story once, then tried bumping up the difficulty from “Regular” to “Experienced” and started having a lot more trouble. There’s an achievement available for completing it at the highest difficulty level with no failed missions and a maximum number of moves… I don’t think there’s much chance of me ever getting that one.
Some of @Donald_Petersen’s issues that he mentioned around romantic representation were taken care of in game updates, but sadly, all DLC has recently been canceled for the game. It’s strange, because ME had grown from a cleverly done cult-hit RPG to almost legendary status as a series, so I’ve no idea why they treated Andromeda the way they did.
I know right? I’m at the last boss fight now against the spider mastermind and It’s probably going to be a few days before I actually play and beat it, just because I’ve already come this far anyway. Or maybe just so I can start again, there’s still a lot of secrets and collectibles to find.
I recall an endurance race on an oval track in one of the Gran Turismo games which could be completed well enough to unlock whatever-it-was, with a pair of rubberbands.
Currently playing Just Cause 3, Subnautica and trying to start Arkham Knight.
God I hated the Spider boss - after reading up on some decent strategies/perk choices it wasn’t too hard, but I did need to leave it a few days just to get the frustration out of my system before trying again.
Chapter select is the way to go for getting the collectables, being able to have all your amped up weapons in the early chapters is a blast.
You know it’s bad when fucking EA doesn’t even attempt to milk the DLC cash cow. There were so many winks and nods to potential DLC opportunities that were squandered.
It’s not like the game was really critically panned or anything and it sold pretty well. I guess unless it makes all the money is not worth it.
I remember doing this trick back in the day with one of the Final Fantasies. Go to lower level area. Lock the controls in place to run around in a circle with a rubber band and use an aftermarket controller with auto-fire capabilities. Let run overnight, end up some 50 levels up by morning.
