It's not good, granted I've only played one level. Depends on what what you're looking for I guess.

I really enjoyed season 1. One of the first Telltale games where I felt like decisions actually did matter.

I think season 2 is about to end, so I'll wait until the release the final episode to play through it.

I like Telltale games. Still waiting on the Wolf Among Us season 2.

Man, I was just thinking the same thing the other day when I fired it up after watching some speed runs.

I beat Dark Souls 1-3 blind without summons, but I found Bloodborne ridiculously difficult in the 15 mins I played. I think the fact that you have a dash rather than an i-frames roll threw me off. I'm planning on getting a PS4 to give it a full playthrough.

Funny, I felt the opposite. I played Bloodborne first and then Dark Souls. Found the latter more difficult. Too slow. Didn't like blocking.

I didn't use a single shield in all of my Dark Souls playthroughs. I just used rolling, and tried to stay below ~50% equip load as to remain nimble.

the first part of bloodborne is pretty damn hard even in the context of the dark souls series. After you get past the opening section it gradually gets more manageable.

The Ratchet and Clank is the newest one, right? Was looking at the trailer and while I don't normally like games like that, it looked kind of cool.

That's the one that was a kinda sorta remake of the original PS2 R&C?

You have to download it now, but you can play it forever, provided you continue to pay for PS+.

I was considering getting Far Cry 5 when it comes out. I've never played one before. Is it fair to say that it's a more chaotic version of GTA meets Horizon?
