Graphics look great. The wingsuit looks exactly like Far Cry 4, only without the shooting at the end...

This could be amazing if they nail the controls. Like with the skiing, it could be really cool to use both analog sticks to emulate the movement of both skis. But if the controls are dumbed down, and you are basically hurtling down the mountain with an uncanny ability to maintain balance, then I'm not too interested.
I feel exactly the opposite. I want a new SSX. I want it to be ridiculous.

Never played SSX. The only game of this ilk that I really enjoyed was the original Tony Hawk. Any other snowboarding games I played felt too easy and one-dimensional. In Tony Hawk, you could jump right in; but then there was plenty of room to grow and advance in your tricks.

I gave up on SSX after that horrible last one. My only hope now is a different franchise honoring it.

Steam summer sale purchases:

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag
Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY
Dishonored
FTL
Mass Effect 1&2
Orcs Must Die! 2
Terraria
Tomb Raider

Not bad going for significantly less than a AAA title.

Just started the new Ratchet and Clank. It is exactly what I want in a mascot platformer/action game.

I was into it but got side tracked by Uncharted. Tools of Destruction is one of my favorite games ever.

I've started my speedrun of Uncharted 4 too. We should try out that new DLC soon.

And it's going to be $60 - the Bioshock games are currently on sale on Steam for, like, $10, and if you own them, they'll get automatically updated.

This collection is good for people who haven't played the games before but I doubt I will pick it up.
