If you like vast stretches of nothing, repetitive game-play and cardboard characters then be my guest.

Well so far it really has my attention. I don't think I've played in this series since MGS2.
I don't enjoy the traveling of vast landscapes however, one of my pet peeves about Witcher 3. However, in that case at least the horse travel actually goes by quite quickly. I can't decide if I want to horse or steal a vehicle most of the time so far. Getting better at the stealth aspect of the game, which is really fun. Not sure yet how I feel about the whole leveling up your army deal, hopefully it makes the game have more layers down the road. |

So far I'm very impressed with the story mode, which gets you very involved. Carries on from the first game. Controls wise it's easy to pick up and get into straight away.
Graphics are sharp , characters look how they should look and the voice work is exceptional. |

There are certain things I like about 5, but it's got some big flaws. The maps being pretty boring for one. Story is interesting at first, but doesn't really go anywhere til the end when they cram a ton of bullshit in, because Konami hated Kojima at the time, and rushed the game.

Tbf 1,3 and 4 are among the best games of all time so the bar was very high.

Super Mario Odyssey. Beat the first 3 worlds and just grabbing all the leftover moons and whatever new opened up in those areas.

And enough people have said that to get me to buy it, I'm just not really ready for it yet. Though as I'm playing some other games I am missing the quality acting from Witcher 3.
I'm also playing Metro 2033 Redux ... well I played it all night and got kinda far. Far for me at least I really don't know how big the game is. Holy shit it's really fun, I really love the whole engine for the game it's so damn smooth and fun. I wish more games did the cut scenes with the same engine as the game play, that pleases me. |

Ok, the Predator mission in Ghost Recon Wildlands is put together way better than I thought it would be. Lots of respect for the source material. They get the tone right and they have the FUCKING PREDATOR THEME when you engage him. I didn't think they'd go that far.
This really makes me want a Predator video game. |

Ideally in a party you'll want a Siren specced into Rez. The skill allows Maya to press the action button while a teammate is in fight for your life and instantly revive them. An assassin with B0re and Critical Ascensi0n can deal massive damage. A gunzerker can wreck enemies with the right gear and his action skill. Also, prioritize farming for Legendary and Seraph rarity weapons and gear over Pearlescent for farming as most of the latter don't live up to their designated rarity. If you can get a pearl Butcher or Bekah, great...the others like the Tunguska and the Unforgiven suck. Finally, upon reaching UVHM, a great non-mission way to make XP and get amazing gear is farming Mister Tinder Snowflake in the Mercenary Day DLC and raiding the gift box every time thereafter. |

Working on getting 100% in Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, currently at just under 70%
Picked up FIFA 18 in the countdown sale so will start on that next. Haven't played a FIFA game for about 5 years so will be interested to see how it plays. |

I assume they have to start from the last bonfire; the two people that have invaded my world I dispatched, so I don't know yet what that does to my game.

I've just entered my final month (for real this time, I think) so I'm rushing around trying to max out some more social links before it's all over. Haven't maxed any of my party's links though, they all unlock mid-late and I don't have enough time left. Got to lv6 with Yukari but now she's mad at me for not hanging out with her even though she has been unavailable for three weeks due to exams / holidays and we live together and I talk to her every day. Ah well, Mitsuru is better anyway. SPOILER: show |

Seeing a car in final fantasy make a me want to hurl. I know there was technically cars in 8 but it was very limited.

I'm about to enter Tarturus for the final battle in P3. Penis in a wheelchair leading the charge, as is tradition.
Only missed 6 max social links in the end, not a bad run. I missed out on... SPOILER: show Social Links in general are obviously very primitive compared to P5, and probably even P4 I would guess, but there's a few cool ones. Sun, Empress, Hermit and Tower were my favourites. Hierophant's ultimate persona has been my go-to late game. Guess I should go and wrap this up... |

I like how integral the social links are to combat but miss the perks aspect. Unless that comes later...

The perks were a new feature for P5. I missed them too, they gave much more of an incentive to hang out with certain people.
Here you just unlock the Arcana's ultimate fusion at Rank 10, and more importantly, stop them constantly pestering you to hang out on Sunday. There's no need to rush to 10 though, you won't be high enough level to actually fuse any ultimate until early 50s, and some of them even go into the 80s from what I've seen. Generally though, ones you meet earlier have lower level reqs. |

I will admit that the features from 5 are missed. Unless the story is A1 its def the superior game

So omitting the ending, I'd say P5 is superior in every way. That's not to say P3 is not good, I really enjoyed it, most main characters have a nice arc. Akihiko SANADA's ultimate persona is my actually favourite across both games, so cool. Story takes aaaaaaages to get going though, which is a real shame. |

Still playing Witcher 3
Ciri and Geralt trashed Avallachhhhhh's hidden man cave after deciding that he has another agenda for Ciri. Geralt could have stopped Ciri from trashing the furniture, but he glanced at Yennefer and pulled the trigger. Yennefer also drew a stache on the elf's portrait. The guy that runs the bath house is pissed at me, never a good time when I go in there to steal his herbs and dip my feet in, he always goes in on me and negates the reason for relaxing. |

Got Seph's rep about my above post. Yeah, soloing any of the BL2 raid bosses is a bitch, although I have not been above doing the exploit on "ultra invincible" Pyro Pete involving grenade jumping to the ledge and waiting till he jumps up there and hiding behind the post where he can't hit you with corrosive and fire damage and using an inflammable (fire-resistant) or alkaline Bee shield. Takes a while but those Seraph crystals (@ lv.
