Re: What are you playing right now?

Finished off B:TS pretty quickly (by my standards anyway) so gonna load up Wolf Amongst Us. Reckon I can get that and the Burial At Sea DLC knocked out pretty sharpish too.

Ahhh! How did you like The Wolf Among Us? I thought it was. So. Fcuking. Awesome. The art style and noir like everything it's just so amazing. When's episode 2? I need it in my life!! I didn't know what to expect, I just trusted telltale and MAN was that a smart idea.

So for the most part, I've been busy with this girl but ah whatever, I'm done with that bullshit for now. To let you guys know how long I actually lasted, I believe the date on my last platinum was when I asked her out so yeah… Again, whatever lol. When was the last time I posted? There's no way I can include everything I skimmed over in these last couple months. But I'll try seeing as how this site's still as small and adminless as ever

GTA5 lived up to my lofty expectations. Man the GOTY awards are going to be interesting this year. This year was so good with all these amazing ass titles AND the PS4. Such a step up from last year which had what? Far Cry 3, TWD, Sleeping Dogs and RE6? Eh. These games are coming out faster than I can even finish them where last year there would be like three consecutive months without buying a new game. It'll probably boil down to TLOU vs. GTA5 but it doesn't matter. I think this entire year has just been radical, and with the PS4, I'm still optimistic for 2014.

Batman Arkham Origins was really fun when I did my first playthrough, but oh my GOD did I realize how disapointing it really is the second time through. The Dark Knight challenge system completely screwed up and sucked out all the fun I originally had with it. The Worst Nightmare track strips you of all your freedom, because there is only ONE room where you can get Rank 6, and it's in the story. So if you're like me, or most Batman fun-loving people in the world, you just wanted to beat the story and get whatever side content you could on the way, paying NO attention to the DK challenges. Because why would you ever assume they would put missable challenges in an open world game where there are constantly enemies walking around on rooftops and the streets that count in the experience system as fcuking predator encounters not count as predator encounters for the DK system? UGHH. It's hard to explain unless you actually are aware of the Worst Nightmare track. But hey, props to Troy Baker, who did a really competent Joker surprisingly. He's been killing it, he's Booker DeWitt, Joel, the Joker, and Hawkeye and Loki in Lego Marvel in this year alone.

Lego Marvel though… I really need to try Lego LOTR because otherwise I'd say this was the best Lego game since Batman 2. The story was nice and the open world has a lot that's just fun to get lost in. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of any of the jokes this time, especially that god awful schawarma gag  A lot of the characters feel really good, the most realistic that you can get to play as some of these dudes sadly enough. Like Iron Man feels exactly like how you'd think he'd actually play if that makes sense? It's hard to put into words, it's a feel haha. And the way Loki fights and dances around his sceptar and Hulk's run and Cap's shield throw, it just all feels exactly like how I always wanted, and that's worth the price of admission alone if you ever wanted to play a good game with the Avengers. It's absolutely baffling to me that the Lego team can nail the feel of playing as Iron Man more than the actual Iron Man 2 game. But I guess it shouldn't be since they're actually halfway competent. Try it out if you haven't already, people. I'd definitely say it's a good “first lego game” too if that's what's holding you back. Get it to play as your favorite Avenger, everyone loves them, they probably nailed exactly how you imagined their likeness would be.

I have 46 golden bricks and 50 character tokens to go. Just unlocked Stan Lee and Deadpool. Those two put a huge smile on my face

But that's mostly it. Remember life's most important lesson, people: Bros before hos!
