It's criminal that Black Flag didn't have a better story/protagonist. That game is so pretty and so much fun, but the lack of a satisfying dramatic core undercuts its impact.
its the only Assassin's Creed i actually enjoyed playing

I think that's a fair assessment of ALL Assassins Creed games. They are all pretty damn forgettable. It was really on the the sailing thing that kept me interested in the series. I gave up partway through Unity cause it felt pointless and boring.

I gave Black Flag about 2 hours because everyone said it was the best one. I hated it and returned it. Now I have a bias against all AC games. Fuck 'em.

Hey, my girlfriend pitched in half of the cost of a PS4 pro for me to play Crash too.

She's horrible at the game. Couldn't even make it through N. Sanity Beach without game overing. :haha:

Disc jam is neat for 15 bucks but I hate how they just throw you right into the mix vs an online player and not have an option to practice vs a computer opponent

So what's this I read about a new sonic remake like they did with crash?? Also read there's a new hot shots called everybody's golf coming out this month

Sonic Mania. It's a mix between classic and new levels. It looks very promising.

Which gaming headsets do you guys use? Do you use one that supports surround on both PS4 and PC?

I got the "Fatal1ty" headset, and then I needed this adapter for PS4:

About 2/3 of the way through my replay of Metroid Prime. There are very few games I've played in the past 10 years that can even touch its gameplay, level design, atmosphere, storytelling, and soundtrack.

I'm intrigued.
Never heard of it until just now. Interesting.

I've very intrigued by Hellblade. Didn't know it existed until the reviews hit on Monday.

I'm on record as being anti-hack-n-slash, but Shadow of Mordor is turning me around on that one. Hellblade looks interesting, but a little rough around the edges. Why don't you buy it and let me know how it is? ;-)

I'm too busy relishing in the glory that is Metroid Prime. Also, daycare started this week so I'm poor now.
