Just finished the campaign for Call of Duty Black Ops 3 last night (on Playstation 4).  One of the best CoD campaigns of the series in my opinion, but one that will leave your brain scrambled and wondering what's real and what actually happened.

How does Pillars of Eternity compare to TL2? The latter was the first Diabo-style game I seriously got into and enjoyed it tremendously (although I haven't finished it as of yet).

PoE is more like Baldurs Gate without ADnD Rules. Less action, more role playing.

Just started playing Minecraft on PC.  I have never really played Minecraft.  Got it on PS4 and Wii U the other day (my wife plays on Wii U) and I wanted to play on PC so that I could take it around with me and have the "infinite" world size.  That way if I get tired of working on an area I can just pack up and move some place else.

 

First night and I had built myself a small shack.  When daylight came around I went ahead and started mining some stuff.  I came back to my shack to make some things in my furnace and APPARENTLY creepers can stick around during daylight because one walked into my shack behind me and blew me up and killed me.  It caused a small crater and blew the door off my shack.  I was mad for a minute because I hadn't thought to check the coordinates of my house so I had to wander around and look for it in the dark.

 

Here's my poor doorless shack after the onslaught of the dreaded "creeper", :p

Just completed the free demo for "Life is Strange" on Playstation 4.  For some reason I had trouble getting into Heavy Rain, so I wasn't sure I would enjoy another interactive novel kind of game, but I actually really enjoyed the "Life is Strange" demo.  :-)

 

Getting ready to start my 14 day free trial of Final Fantasy 14, also on the PS4.

Been playing the Final Fantasy 14 free trial on PS4 the past few days, and I'm really enjoying it.  It gives you the option to use a keyboard/mouse or a controller and I've been using a controller.  I've really liked the controller except for navigating the UI.  If I want to click a quest or open my map or something I have to click the touchpad left or right until the pointer is in the right area and then select the thing I want to toggle or mess with, it's really awkward.  For movement and combat though, the controller seems great, :-)

Played some Battlefield 4 earlier with a buddy.  He came over and brought his PS4 with him and we used separate TVs to play online for a while.  Captured this clip of him saving my skin.

Made a new Minecraft world and let it use a random seed.  It put me on an island with like 3 trees and no wildlife (or other land) for as far as I can see except for octopi/squids and blowfish that spit something at me and cause "mining fatigue" that renders me unable to dig or mine anything for like 5 minutes.  There is ONE other island that is level with the water so it just barely breaks the surface, and it's just sand with a flower or two on it about 10x10 squares.

 

The blowfish appear to be congregating around some sort of underground portal or dungeon or something though.

 

My lonely island.

Dragon Age: Origins on PC.  Got myself a new laptop because my old PCs couldn't even play Minecraft at more than 20 fps.  I played DA:O on XBox 360 and PS3 and loved it, but never took the time to sit down and finish it.  The PC version is SO much better in the ways you interact with it, and being able to crank everything in last gen games up as high as they'll go is just the icing on the cake.  I've always been mainly a console gamer, but this new laptop might just bring me around to the dark side, :-)

Ever since I got my XBox360, I have been furiously playing Mass Effect Trilogy.  I wanted to make sure I got the best ending possible for Mass Effect 2 so I can start 3 with a good beginning.

Played through the last 2 on Playstation 3 (the first one didn't come out on PS3 until they released the trilogy box set) and absolutely loved them.  Mass Effect 2 and 3 are two of the best games I've ever played in my life.  I need to sit down and finish the original.

I totally agree.  I have never become so involved in a games story like I have with Mass Effect.  I'm planning on getting an XBox One just to get Mass Effect: Andromeda next year.

Dead Space (PC).  I played a demo for Dead Space 2 years ago on the PS3, but never sat down and finished any of them.  Was going through the list of "free" games on Origin Access and spotted Dead Space so I figured I'd give it a try.  My brother absolutely loves the first two.  Game is weird as can be so far.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
