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.

Well,  my PC just burned and now im playing on a notebook a lot of indies and old ones like Skyrim and TorchLight 2 .  But currently im enjoing a lot Pillar Of Eternity.

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.

The dungeon I believe I've found under the ocean.

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.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
