Is it that much different than past versions?

Not necessarily. It feels great to me. I'm loving it. I've just never been good at them haha. Finally won two games last night. Second went to OT.

Shadow of Mordor is just reminding me of how much I love open-world action/adventure games. I'm so glad this fall is chalked full of them.

I finally fired up the Super Turbo Edition of Guacamelee on XBO last night. I love that game. So good.

I also bought Far Cry Classic on Live the other day when it was like $2.50. Besides the graphics, they didn't seem to update much in that game. It plays like a very old FPS.

I also bought NCAA 14 on Live since it's on sale for less than $10 and I love that game so much. I already have it on PS3 but I've been looking to pick up the 360 version cheap since there might not be another NCAA football game ever. For those that are interested there are updated 2014 rosters from the gamertag CALL ME LSU that re pretty great.

Man, going back to ACIV (which I really enjoyed at the time but never finished) feels almost impossible after Shadow of Mordor. I have had my issues with the AC control scheme in the past, but always overcame them. Now after playing a game that basically does all of that but better...yikes. I want to finish this game, but don't know if I have it in me.

So true.

Honest Trailers are so awesome. I love those guys.

Still Spelunky'ing.

Still playing the Daily Challenges (thank you Based PS4).

Still eating a steaming bowl of shit before I can reach Olmec.

Picked up the first season of Walking Dead for PS4 on Thursday. Runs super smooth, no hiccups that plagued the PS3/Vita versions. Finishing episode 4 tonight. Going to pick up the second season sometime this week.

Season 1 is in the books. First time playing through season 1 while knowing how season 2 ended. Set myself up for season 2 exactly how I wanted. Also I actually enjoyed some of the characters from 400 Days and really wish they would've picked someone else besides Bonnie to focus on the most within season 2. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that crazy fucker Nate. Maybe season 3?

[Twigg4075]

I. Can't. Stop. Playing. Sleeping. Dogs.

[j.hen]

3 episodes into Season 2 of Walking Dead. This game is so much smoother on the PS4, makes me want to look into how much better Wolf Among Us will be... But I picked up Dragon Age: Origins so I can brush up on my Dragon Age since I've never played Origins.

I didn't think the 2nd one was as awful as everyone else did, granted I haven't touched the game since it first came out. I pre-ordered Inquisition and am pretty stoked about it. I want to see what Bioware has been up to all this time. I know they're using an account sync with a website to let you import your choices from the first two games.

Sleeping Dogs is one of my favorite games for a reason. The DE looks great. I'm not sure where all of those reports of frame rate drops, screen tearing and shit came from. I haven't noticed anything. I did have the game crash on me once during a mission but when I played it again it worked fin. That's the only issue I've had. I also love how all of the DLC is incorporated so I get to play some of the smaller DLC content that I never bought previously. Some of the extra cop missions are really fun and short. Plus there are extra missions to earn more Face XP.

The Pro Controller is great, but I am SO over Nintendo's weirdo backwards buttons. First, it's YX/BA instead of XY/AB. Second, Bayonetta 2 has X and A as your primary attacks, instead of what I think should X and Y, IMO. As I'm typing this I'm realizing that I can probably change it.

Still, what the fuck is ZR!?
