I got to the final boss in Drakengrad 3 and after trying for 3 hours, I went "hell no!" and put the game away. Seriously it's one of the strangest things I ever seen.
I post in spoilers if you don't give a crap and want to see the WTFness.
Other then that, I been switching between Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call and Pokemon Crystal. For Crystal, I want to evolve my Pichu and make a Eevee into a Umbreon for my team. I'm planning to get Stadium 2 so I could transfer my team over for some fun someday.

I got metal gear ground zeroes for xbox one for free,i made the first mission with a A rank and in 55:30 minutes,not bad
Short review
Graphics are amazing at 60fps,no frame drops,lightning and reflections are the best part of the engine,making old gen textures and geometry look amazing on next gen,rain drops are individually rendered and the rain effect is jaw dropping,only watch dogs has better effects.
Gameplay wise the game is decent,the only very shitty part is the auto-cover mechanic which is extremely unreliable,i hope that they improve it significantly or replace it with a button press or something,enemies are somewhat competent in reacting to your actions,but are very easily to confront on a one on one basis.
Plot is meh,you really need to play the previous games(mgs 3 and mgs peace walker) to understand it,despite the excellent summary and tapes explaining the whole story.
Snake's acting and voice are really good,the highlight of it is the ending cutscene,and you have a beautiful amazing intro sequence showing the full potential of the fox engine.
downside is that this should be a free demo from the beginning and i really hope they put this include in the mgs 5 box when it releases.
also another one is the 720p on xbox one,this clearly shows that they just dumped the graphics on the ddr3 instead of the esram,although the hardware upscaler does a excellent job,720p shows how shitty their port is,despite the constant frame rate and i doubt they will improve this on the final game,despite several games running a 1080p 60fps on the xbox.

Played Spooky's House of Jump Scares and Gothic. For the former, I made it to room 1000 and won. For the latter, I got a few level up and exploited the AI of one character, having him fall to his death. That means getting a good mace early on along with taking some stuff he had such as potions and money.

Switching between Rocket League and Infinity Wars TCG when the other one starts to frustrate me. I can say with certainly things are going far better in the land of rocket powered soccer cars than in the land of card games though.

I'm also playing Rocket League. Amazing game, 10/10. Reminds me a lot of Twisted Metal... but with soccar,
PS - I want this to be a real sport.

I got Diablo II Lord of Destruction to start working on my computer today, so I've been playing plenty of that since I used to play it back in the day all the time.

This War of Mine. I made it around 30 days before two people were shot, one froze to death and the last one committed suicide. Not that bad for a first try, I guess. (Would've lasted longer if I was more of an ass)

Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve II.
Now that I'm getting the hang of VS, I'm enjoying it a lot. It's far more complex than I thought it would be and it's been slow going. I've had it for years and never got around to figuring it out. Might as well now.

I'm about 5 or 6 hours into Alien Isolation. Everything is lovingly recreated to look exactly like how the 1979 movie was. Set pieces are superb, the Alien is huge and amazing looking, and you really feel like you're in one of the movies.
That being said, the scares are mostly gone at this point and for a number of reasons. The first was that this is the first horror game I've played where I know what the monster looks like going into it. The fear of the unknown is what made games like Amnesia (another stealth horror), Dead Space 1, and Dungeon Nightmares 2 (an amazing indi game) affective and frankly after watching alien movies over and over (I'm a fan) there's nothing scary about the alien to me. There are a few effective jump scares like things exploding in your face and robots you thought were dead suddenly coming back to life though but when it comes to the alien killing me most of the time I could see it coming a mile away and just couldn't do anything about it.
This game is a very tense game, though. What the alien doesn't deliver in terror it makes up for in keeping you on the edge of your seat. The alien moves around fairly randomly and you have no idea if the thing is going to drop down in front of you or suddenly do a 180 and go back in your direction. Of course this also can make the game sort of frustrating if you get stuck doing the same 10 minute section over and over because you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In general I really like this game and if you like stealth horror and the alien series it's a real treat.

My attention span has been pretty weak lately so I've been swapping between a bunch of different games. Pokemon Ruby, FTL, Rift and Rocket League.

I recently found out that the Collectors edition bonus DLC for Fable 2 was released for everyone some time last year. Like 7 years after the game released.
So I decided to pick up Fable 2 now that I own a 360 again since I really enjoyed that game. And surprisingly enough I'm enjoying it now more than I did back then.
Storyline is still shit though but really like the gameplay. I've sunk a ton of time already into the real estate metagame trying to get the achievement for creating a 2.5 million gold real estate empire.
