I don't get it. Normally I be all over a game like this, but for some reason this just bores me to tears. I think it might the paleo/technology juxtaposition thing. I'll probably end up renting or trying a friend's option though.
@kyleforrester87 I'd rather they underpromise and overdeliver on this one. Unlike a certain recent space exploration sandbox game that comes to mind (full disclosure: none of the vitriol leveled at THAT game really bothered me that much).
I've come close to pulling the trigger on Invisible Inc many times. I'm a big fan of the developer (Klei, of Don't Starve fame). And as far as Stories, pirate fox. Hello.
I've never played any of the previous games (no PS3), but I'm usually on board for anything Western-themed. That. plus this series reputation has me interested.
Board games last night, played a couple rounds of Codenames, then Cosmic Encounter and Xia: Legends of a Drift System. Maybe play Robinson Crusoe or Manhattan Project today.
Picked up a used copy of Wasteland 2 the other day, maybe I'll get to break it in tonight.
I'm sure I'm in the vast minority, but this game doesn't really move the needle for me. It looks interesting enough, and I'll probably rent it, but that's probably as far as I'll go with it. And I love RPGs too, but the combat in this seems awful fiddly and stressful.
Meh. I grew up a Nintendo kid, and all the Sega kids were dirty losers. Sonic always felt like a second-class experience meant to overcompensate with flashing lights, compared to the pure platforming perfection of Mario and Mega Man.

Re: Dark Souls III's Ringed City DLC Looks Suitably Sinister in New Gameplay
Holy smokes. My character turtled up just from me watching that Boss fight.

Re: Mass Effect: Andromeda Cinematic Trailer Shows Off a Promising Story
I was worried they weren't going to show them about to bang. Thank goodness my worries were unfounded.
Re: Inside and Limbo Dev Teases Its Next Game
This is as close to an automatic buy as it gets for me.
Re: Sony: We're Working on a Great Number of Still Unannounced PS4 Titles
Bloodborne 2, obviously.
Hopefully.
Re: Here's 30 Seconds of Bloodstained to Tide You Backers Over
This is why I don't pre-order games. Not saying it'll be crap when it finally drops, but you don't buy promises, only finished product.

Re: Store Update: 13th December 2016 (Europe)
Stardew Valley!
I've been holding off buying for PC ever since they announced for PS4. Pure torture.
Re: Yes, Nex Machina Looks Like a Housemarque Game
Housemarque is as close to "Insta-Buy" as it gets.
Re: Soapbox: December PlayStation Plus May Be Disappointing, But You Should Still Play Stories

Re: Wow! No Man's Sky Is Getting a Whole Lot Cooler
Oh man this looks great. Time to jump back in it seems.
Re: The Original Diablo Is Being Reborn in Diablo III
Excellent. Diablo is one of my all time faves. Hopefully there's an option for up-rezzed non-grainy, non-retro graphics.

Re: Feature: October on PS4 Is Packed with Promising Games
Taking a break from buying games at the moment, but what I've played of Dragon Quest Builders has been great.

Re: Hands On: Sonic Mania on PS4 Runs Rings Around Recent Entries
@sub12
Man, I would love a good shmup on PS4.

Back in business here in Texas.
Re: Review: One Way Trip (PS4)
Thanks for playing this so I don't have to.
Re: Video: One Way Trip Is the Weirdest PS4 Game Yet
Noooope.
Re: The PS4 Slim Looks Much, Much Nicer Than You Think It Does
Will there still be the option to replace the HDD?
Re: Gamescom 2016: The Tomorrow Children Goes to Work from 6th September
@Kidfried Exactly.
Re: Gamescom 2016: The Tomorrow Children Goes to Work from 6th September
Btw, hey everybody, I'm new here.
Re: Gamescom 2016: The Tomorrow Children Goes to Work from 6th September
A little disappointed here. I was all set to pay real money for this.
