I decided mine before I started using Giygas_95 for all my online profiles. I chose Supersonic_Flyer because at the time I was really into flight games. In fact, HAWX was the reason I got my PS3. I might change to Giygas_95, but I'll more than likely just leave it alone since my Nintendo ID is also Supersonic_Flyer.
@sham8nix Stinks don't it? I could probably fit some time in, but I may have to use headphones. My parents are coming to see me, and they definitely don't appreciate bad language which this game is sure to have lots of.
I'm hoping I can finish up Red Dead Redemption before the sequel arrives! It's my first time playing the game, and though I had a rocky start with it, it's really grown on me! I just crossed into Mexico and did the train defense mission. I also pre-ordered the digital special edition of RDR2 so I'd have the Winchester 1897 pump shotgun as soon as the game begins.
I'm also playing Mark of the Ninja on Switch. I love that game! We need more stealth games on that platform.
And then there's Luigi's Mansion on 3DS. I need to finish up the hidden mansion which I've just started.
Also I need to finish Mega Man 11 at some point, but it probably won't be this weekend.
@slampog Yeah...I ended up going with the digital special edition. I don't want to have more boxes lying around, in fact I wish I had gotten more games digital instead of physical since they take up space on your HDD either way. Also I didn't want to spend the extra money. The reason I went with the special edition though?
I love the Winchester 1897 so much, and I wanted to have it available as soon as I started the game. That gun is so sleek while having that old, classy feel, and I want a real one so badly.
@nessisonett That sounds completely nuts. One time I had a cutscene play out with one of the character's lines of dialogue being muted while the other one was talking like normal.
@FullbringIchigo Jeez that's like Spidey from Hell right there. XD
@carlos82 Exactly. At least with cutscenes though you can usually use YouTube, but if I just want to replay a particular mission I don't know why I'm not allowed to without restarting the game.
@get2sammyb Ghost Recon Wildlands has that feature (and I think other Ubisoft open world titles do as well), and honestly all mission based open world games should in my opinion.
I'm actually a lot more excited for this game now. I wasn't before because I wasn't really enjoying the first game, but it's really growing on me now. Just wish I had time to complete it fully before this one comes out.
I don't want to spoil anything by watching trailers, but I'm also having trouble getting hyped at all for this game. The first game is so far a boring slog to me. I just can't decide if I really want this or not... there's other games I could spend my money on.
I love Western movies, and I really want to be excited for this game...but if it's gonna front load the main story with loads of filler and have awkward controls, I doubt I'll bother with it.
I'm currently playing the first game on PS3, and I'm struggling to see the magic. It's growing on me, but I can see it getting pretty tedious. I also wish the PS3 version weren't so...ugly. First time I've found myself wishing I had an XBox One X.
@naruball True but how much is it hurting it? It seems like this one is selling pretty well so far at least digitally. I think the vast majority only play for the multiplayer.
I'm one of the few who really only played CoD games for the campaign which usually were really good, cinematic experiences (especially the Modern Warfare series). I mean I'd generally get them used since they weren't worth $60 for just the campaign (except when I found the Infinite Warfare MW Remastered bundle for 60 at launch which was a great deal). I'm gonna miss it, especially since the Black Ops campaigns were some of my favorites. Do you guys think campaigns are gone from here on out or do you think they'll make a return eventually?
Eh...if not, at least Wolfenstein is really stepping up to the single player FPS plate these days.
New game plus is great, but it's also very aggravating to me because frankly I just want the option to replay any mission I want. This isn't like God of War where it's one continuous journey. It's mission based.
I usually only use walkthroughs for Metroidvania games (not for the main quest, but no way am I looking for all the optional items blindly. I want to 100% any Metroidvania I play). I just finished a second play through of Axiom Verge, and some of the item pick ups are so cryptically hidden I don't know how you'd ever even get the idea to look there in the first place.
Other times like in God of War I'll use one if I want to find a specific enchantment or talisman or set of armor.
I'm glad people now seem to realize it's all about having fun and not about "getting gud."
Not for this guy. I still need to play the original RDR, but the opening moments kind of bored me. If I do end up liking it though, I'll definitely get RDR2.
I'm going to do my first play through of the game on the PS3 for the original acting just so I get the original experience. After that, I don't care. I still need to play that game, but I'm waiting for Rondo of Blood first since SoTN is basically a sequel.
Mega Man 11 and maybe some cleanup in Spiderman. I'm also playing Ghost Recon Wildlands again, and I just found out Ubisoft FINALLY added the Benelli M4 to that game (seriously, what took so long?). I love that shotgun!
I've just gotten 100% campaign progress though I'm still missing some suits and secret photo ops. I'll definitely get this. I loved every minute of this game. I was not expecting it to be so good.
I may change to Giygas_95. I've kind of been choosing that name for all my online accounts (the entertainment ones, not things like say business related accounts) for unity's sake.
@jswhitfield8 I've never played 1, and I never finished 2 on Wii U. Maybe at some point I'll grab the remasters on PS4 as well as the third game and try again.
@Tasuki Well, don't I look dumb. Though I honestly don't know how it stays that way given there are so many better games out there, but I guess that's just my opinion.
Developers really need to look into compressing more...maybe they already have, but geez, still that big compressed? I know Nintendo's games are nowhere near as big, but they compress even their biggest games, and they're rarely more than a few gigs in size (or in BOTW's case, about 13, and that's a pretty large game).
On another note, I don't think that "Best selling franchise" on the back of CoD boxes is actually earned anymore.
@HungryWolf I'm sure they'll open up pre-purchase soon, allowing you to download it before release.
@LaNooch1978 I can believe it. Those games are tiny by today's standards.
First game was War, second was Death, third is Fury...I wonder if Darksiders 4 will be about Strife, the brother that Death mentions in Darksiders 2, and who apparently wields a pistol that Death gets to use in that game. May mean the fourth game might be something of a shooter...or that it might play like Bayonetta. Or they might just throw all of that out and do something different, who knows.
@JJ2 Yeah, that sounds like maybe it's not for me. With so little time nowadays I prefer more quick and action oriented games. Thanks for letting me know.
I'm having trouble getting hyped for RDR2. I couldn't get very far into the first one because I just got bored. I was having the same problem with Spiderman until I played it though so maybe RDR2 will be the same.
@KorsaRaph Heeeey, Mark of the Ninja! I'm getting that one too. That along with the Luigi's Mansion remake will be my Halloween games.
@DMG361132 True, I just want to see a new collection on all current consoles and PC. Switch too. I feel if the PS3 and 360 could run MGSV just fine, a Switch could too.
@Amplified I'm sure I greatly oversimplified it, but it's still a lot cheaper than making a brand new game. I wish they'd just sell Metal Gear and Castlevania to companies that care. Either Nintendo or Capcom (probably Capcom so they wouldn't go console exclusive). First thing Capcom would probably do is crank out collections.
@Amplified I don't know a lot about game development, but I can't imagine a collection would be that expensive, and it would make them a fair deal of cash too. Throw some emulators and ROMs on a disc/cartridge (or go digital only to make it even cheaper), code up a simple menu to select the game, maybe include some bonus legacy material like the Mega Man X Legacy Collections did (though that would require extra work which they clearly aren't interested in putting in).
Oh well, at least Bloodstained is an up and coming franchise. Curse of the Moon is amazing. Here's hoping Ritual of the Night is too.

Re: Fly Through Two Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Missions
I love these types of games, and I haven't had a new one to play in quite a while. I used to play the heck out of HAWX on the PS3. Got my eye on this!

Re: Spider-Man PS4 Adds Brand New Features with 1.08 Patch

I mean I know it sounds like I'm whining, but it seems like a fairly obvious and simple feature.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2's Marketing Is Unavoidable Even in Japan
@Jriibz Wow, I was beginning to think no one else would ever comment!
I do wonder how popular Westerns are over there since it seems like a lot of them were inspired by Japanese films.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Launch Trailer Rides into Town

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2's Marketing Is Unavoidable Even in Japan
I didn't realize Rockstar games were popular in Japan. I wonder if Japan likes spaghetti western movies as well...
It would kind of be full circle if they did since some movies like Magnificent Seven were inspired by a Japanese movie.
