I'm excited to see what they can do with a sequel to Horizon. It's already a pretty amazing game, but now they have an engine to work with and the basic ideas all in place so they can grow it from here.

I think the only logical place to go is having Aloy learn the power of friendship through a permanent Watcher companion that communicates in cute clicks & whistles and performs super cool combo attacks.

It'd be cool if you could ride Thunderjaws Dino-Riders style but in order for a robot to be relateable in a sympathetic way it must be chibi (small) and kawaii (cute).

Seriously though I would love to be able to give orders to overridden robots. If it's not ridable all it will do is not attack you and kiting them around is hard. Unless there's something that unlocks later.

The only thing that Far Cry Primal has on this game is that it has more animals to ride, and you can feed them and pet them

Yeah, a lot of times I override a watcher on the permeter, and it never does anything. Just hangs out there. Thanks, I guess.

Get well soon!

I played through a.couple of Atelier games while laid up after throwing my back out last month. Could only play short bits at a time because it was hard to concentrate and even harder to find a reasonably comfy position.

So far of the Ateliers I've like Rorona Plus the best for gameplay and Eschatology for the character interactions. Haven't completed it yet though.

Is anyone else using the PS Now service?

At least Horizon is starting off amazing. Killzone at no point in time was ever good.

The portable versions of the games were good. KZ: Liberation was a solid tactical overhead shooter. KZ:Mercenary was a solid portable FPS. I played KZ 1-3 and they were pretty standard FPS games. Nothing extremely amazing except maybe multiplayer for 2 and 3 because there wasn't any online sci fi shootmans at the time. At least on PS3. And they might as well been regular military shooters because there wasn't anything really out there in terms of sci fi weaponry.

All of my cats at this time are indoor cats and I'm never gonna let them be outdoor cats.

There are things you can't unsee in life. Witnessing several of your own cats die solely because they existed outside at the wrong time or the wrong place is one of them. Seeing an entire family of cats die in horrifying ways that wouldn't have happened had they been indoor cats. Coming home from Ryan's on a stormy night to find my neighbor had done us a favor and shot that weird looking possum that was on our front porch eating our cat's dry food, the weird white fuzzy possum that looked like a cat. Hearing a kitten crying while inside of the water main opening beneath the trailer we lived in, then hearing him suddenly quiet up just as my father finally manages to fish him out, showing that he had a snake bite. Waiting for the bus along with my cousin, seeing one of our kittens playing out in the road. I ask, "Hey, should I get him out of the road?" "Nah, he's fine," she says. I'm 3 or 4 and I trust what she says since she's 14 or so. Then a car comes along and the kitten runs head first into the car's tire, scrambling his brains. I watch him seize out and die. I could have prevented it.


Even knowing all of that, my mom continued to let cats be outdoor animals, resulting in one winter night over a decade later when my stepdad and I had to go out into the woods with a ladder because we could hear our cat crying in the cold because he had gotten stuck in a tree branch.




Never again. Indoor cats only. We give them enough things to play with. They'll live without the outdoors. Literally.

A Zelda game is one of the least linear and handhold-y games on the market.

A Bomberman game by Konami is on the top ten sales charts.

A Yoko Taro game is one of the best reviewed games of the year.

Everyone is civil on this forum and telling each other touching stories about cats.

it's my hope that they instead join hands with Kojima and help out even more as he gets the ball rolling on Death Stranding. bodes well for his game that Horizon looks and performs so well since he's using a chunk of their own engine.

Kojima Production's staff was listed in the special thanks sections of the Horizon credits. The new KojiPro poached a lot of the MGS staff from Konami. A lot of them were engineers and programmers who worked on the Fox Engine. They seem to be collaborating on the Decima engine with Guerrilla for Horizon and Death Stranding.

i beat another dungeon in zelda. i'm starting to worry about the amount of uniquely themed dungeon content in the game. they have all been cool but really short and easy. the approach to the dungeon was like 3-4 times longer than the dungeon itself.

Ya know, I've been thinking the same thing. The dungeon content seems pretty thin and the shrines range from "mind-numbingly easy" to "just barely brain-tickling" but I think it's ok. It reminds me of when Majora's Mask came out and people were saying "there's only four dungeons?! That's like half as many as Ocarina, this game sucks!"

Nintendo has never been afraid to experiment with Zelda and the measure of ingredients they put into the pot, so to speak. If dungeons being reeled way back on are what it costs to have a more fully realized and beautiful Hyrule than we've ever had before, I'm totally ok with that. There will be more dungeons and more Zelda games, I just want them to keep experimenting and not be afraid to push the series in different directions.

I was gifted two games yesterday, I'd be happy to play either, so I need an outside force to pick which one I play

Should I play Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D or Final Fantasy XV?

I've never gone past the Goron section of MM and I haven't played a new FF since X on PS2.

Majora's Mask is the best Zelda so it's almost certainly better than FFXV.
