Debated getting that, but I'm used to the controller

Finally unlocked blizzard mountain and it's something else

Since when do you pay for something and are not allowed to play it whenever you feel like playing it?? Mutherfuckers!!
Bloodborne was like that too.

On an unrelated note, I forgot how much fun the Last of Us' multiplayer is.

I didn't know there was a multiplayer.
There is and it is wonderful. Uncharted 4 even uses its healing mechanic.
Are people still playing the Last of Us multiplayer regularly? I tried logging on a couple times after I finished the story, and it seemed like a ghost town, so I never returned.
I've played several matches this week and have had no problems finding matches quickly. Seems like a good range of online ranks too. I was surprised.

I'm having fun with Far Cry Primal. It's a nice change a pace to play an open world game without guns. The taming animals bit is great too. I just rode a bear into an outpost and wrecked shop.

I've been waiting on this one while i play through some other stuff. Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I know it got a lot of middling reviews with people saying it would have been better as an add-on or DLC to Far Cry 4 rather than a full blown title.

Does it still have that classic Far Cry base liberation mechanic? Stealthily clearing out a base is so damn fun.

Gosh, I loved Far Cry 4 so much. I guess they used the exact same world map as FC4 in Primal just with a different skin. Still looks like its own game with the change in period and weapons. I loved the leveling system in FC4 and this one looks similar. My big question is: how is the story? I was happy to collect 100% of the relics and items in FC4, because I really enjoyed the backstory that was revealed as I did it. Not sure Primal would offer the same long-term playability.

It sure does. You have an owl that scout ahead and mark enemies. You can then systematically take out enemies using a tamed animal, releasing caged animals in the camp, or using stealth takedowns/stealth weapons. I sent a tiger into a camp last night, released two cages wolves, and then threw spears at people laughing the whole time.

I've been skipping most of the cutscenes to be honest. Far Cry's stories don't do much for me, it's all about the gameplay. Exploration is more fun to me in this one than 4 because of the change in setting (time period).

I don't care about either franchise but FC: Blood Dragon and AC: Black Flag are both awesome.

The Witcher is a big'un, but worth the investment.

Oxenfree is great, great sci-fi.

Characters act a little too casual at times, but it's stellar. I knew nothing about it, but my son wanted to play so I was test running.

Way too scary to send him in alone, but we are playing together. All the sounds are incredibly well done. I hope it never gives too much away ("hey there, sleepy. Time. Gal"), but I also don't need another Last Station.
