Recently got PS+ and I'm playing Call of Duty: WWII on bullshit Veteran difficulty. Got a decent way through it but some weird shit happened in the 2nd mission. I hit a checkpoint when dying twice but two different things happened. First time resulted in a death-loop but the second time granted me invincibility but the sound and ally support stopped working.
I just finished 3 after months of not playing it because of poor skill/class choices on two characters, after playing to the first ending its easy to see why people say this is the best one.
I've only made it up the the end of the first Maze in 4, but its been pretty solid. Its felt much more forgiving than the other games so far though. I'm not sure how I feel about the change to leveling and skill distribution yet, makes me feel like I shouldn't invest in any skills if they don't unlock something in the next tier. I'm glad they got rid of the common skills and having to invest in chop/mine/take though.
In the other games certain skills would need you to invest points elsewhere to open up; like getting a passive parry for your Hoplite in 3 would be to level Provoke to 5 and that Parry for you to skill into. Now its seperated between skillsets for level 1-19, 20-39, 40+ with branching still being used to open up skills.
Also probably the best use of 3D on the 3DS I've seen I think.
The music and art direction are kind of a letdown, 1-3 had gorgeous sprites and fantastic synthesized music while 4 has boring 3d models and the music is underwhelming.

These are some bad ideas on skill building bruh. EOIV is great but skills dont need next tiers to be useful to endgame and they simply moved common into different spots. Sill good to invest in them.
I've been busy and trying to not just play vidya but I'm putting in my daily on Animal Crossing and slowly chipping into MonHun GU. Need to get back into the latter.
I've started playing the third (and final) game of the shitty Tomb Raider reboot. The game looks really good. I hope that the story is better than the crap Pratchett wrote.
Also since ME3 is now on Steam, I've decided to re-install ME3 multiplayer but it's still hard to find enough players on PC.
The artificial grind/push for microtransactions is really noticable for half of the game, until you unlock the expedition side missions.
New Dawn is one of those games that gets "fun" halfway through it, once you get the best weapons and enough perk points to boost certain perks. The expedition mode was a good idea but it can be boring if you do it alone.

I hope they find a better way to tell the story. I liked FC5 but I hated how the game would take you out of whatever you were doing because you've reached the necessary amout of points to unlock the next main mission.
Heavy Rain cleaning up misc. trophies and endings. Then onto either Detroit Becomes Human or Beyond Two Souls. Glad these came to steam so I could finally see them.
Put a couple hours into Satisfactory last night. What an amazing fucking game. I can see myself putting hundreds of hours into this one. If you like Rust or Factorio check it out.
Ion Fury, which so far is really fun. At first I was getting annoyed at the amount of small and far away enemies it kept throwing at you, before finding by accident (as the game doesn't tell you) that you can lock on with the pistol.
I've been playing Earthbound/Mother 2 mostly right now. The grinding is a bit tedious, but I love the style and feel of the game. I'm currently going to have to exp grind to kill the mole boss.
Finally installed PCSX2 to my rig and have been going around hoovering up some classic PS2 gems. Recently started playing around with Champions of Norath and Mercenaries. I dont know what it is about Mercenaries, but this game aged pretty well in my eyes from a pure fun gameplay perspective. The textures are muddy and the animations are very dated, but the gameplay its self still holds strong. As for Champions of Norath, it did Diablo 3 console better ten years ago then Diablo 3 does on console now. Pure classic Action RPG goodness that works surprisingly well on a controller.
