Huh, a day after I picked up GTA5 for my next game after HZD, Nier (which I really wanted to play next, but has been out long enough that I can't bring myself to pay full price) drops to $40 at Gamestop. gently caress it, I'll just go grab that too and juggle them. GTA is something I can easily drop and pick up again as I please if I get interested in other things, and Nier seems to have natural stopping points where you might want to play something else for a few days. Got a sweet theme in my email for platting HZD, wasn't expecting that two days later. I wish there was a button you could hit on the home screen to hide all the menus and stuff.

How long do I need for that opening section of Nier: A where you can't save? I guess the blessing of suspend/resume makes that not really an issue but I am curious.

Started Nier; prologue took me two tries cause if the game ever told me you can manually heal, I missed that until I went into the menu and looked at the controls and giant spinny blades are my gaming bete noire. I did get to beat a huge robot to death with its own arm, so that was cool. Made it through the desert and I'm having a lot of fun, see the same flaws as everyone else but still confident I'm not going to end up in the camp who just doesn't get it but I gotta say: I have never played a game that would benefit as much as this would from looking better. I'm not a graphics guy, and it doesn't look bad, it's just that the live visuals (especially the environments) don't come close to realizing the strength of the character design you see in the cutscenes and the general stylishness the game displays in every other respect. There's a wealth of awesome, weird ideas that went into every aspect of this game's design but they're all set against the backdrop of gray concrete and beige sand. Why? I wouldn't want anyone to spoil it for themselves, but if you're absolutely stuck on the fence, the "this cannot continue" boss fight would be the thing you could look at and instantly tell if you want to know what this game is about or not.

Tidbit I hadn't heard before from this pre-E3 roundup article: Kojima is building Death Stranding on Guerilla's HZD engine. That's about the next best thing to the Fox engine I guess.

That $100 thing is gonna get me, cause I look at that list and think "wow, good price on UC4 which I still haven't picked up" and then it's "oh, I need another year of PS+ soon anyway" and at that point I know I'm gonna come up with another $30 somehow even though I just bought GTA5 and N:A last week.

Goddamnit I was able to buy another year of PS+ but when I try to buy a few games after that, Sony decides they hate my Paypal/credit card. If I buy PSN credit on Amazon and put it in my wallet, is that going to count toward the spend $100 promotion?

Nobody's wrong about Skyrim or late Bethesda in general but I get the appeal of Skyrim VR. The combat and story suck but the thing that game had going for it is the geography -- it's just a cool place to walk around as long as you don't have to interact with any of their garbage systems. I still remember getting on a horse and just riding aimlessly, trotting around a curve in the road past an awesome mountain to see a giant shepherd tending a flock of mammoths and being blown away. Don't remember a single story beat or cool battle but that stuck with me. I bet it doesn't hold up but VR is probably enough of a gimmick to make it work again.

Oh randomly looked at my PSN wishlist to find The Witcher season pass half off, which I've been waiting on. Heads up to anybody else. And PSN now decides my Paypal/CC are good again, after having to buy codes on Amazon all during that sale/$100 event? Weird.

I was enjoying Nier from the start, but finding it something I could only play for a little bit at a time before drifting back to something lighter for a longer session -- GTA at first, MLB 17 since I just picked it up. But I went back at it for a while today and I gotta say I've never seen a game squeeze as much personality into a simple fetch quest like N:A accomplishes with "Stamp Collecting".

lol i spent 75 hours getting the plat (an easy one by everyone's account) but I'm sure like 10 of that was idling and I play games like 50% slower than everyone else If you don't want to fight something just run, you don't need to grind anything

One of the PS+ games for July will be something called That's You (but you'll still get the normal amount of games on top of that). I didn't know what it was but apparently the thing about it is it's one of the introductory titles for the Playlink feature, which I had to look up -- some kind of social/party thing where other people in the room get to influence the gameplay with a phone app, designed to get normies into gaming I guess? I don't know what this game is but that sounds lame and doomed.

My continuing story of Nier: A -- I loved my run of route A but I can totally see how if you didn't, you got to B and were like gently caress this poo poo. I'm down to keep going and get to C which is where everyone says the good poo poo starts but I don't blame anyone who quit there.

MGSV mastered the feel of stealth mechanics like no other game has (name one?) but the whole "you can attach a BALLOON to a SHEEP" bullet-point box copy thing only goes so far.

By the mid-late game I felt like I could tank a good amount of damage on normal but a lot of it is on the other side, you'll be killing or stunning enemies much faster once you have better weapons. Also ripping parts off with tear weapons to disable nasty attacks is a big part of fights against enemies with big HP pools.

I just finished route B and thought it really benefited from taking like two weeks off for a mild MLB The Show addiction. The "trailer" for the rest of the game got me super stoked but I'm gonna let it sit for a few days. I'm loving it but it's weird to me that anyone blazed through this at release, the endings seems like natural stopping points to go play another game for a minute.

Started Hearts of Stone as my palate-cleanser after N:A route B and I'm very torn between two comparisons to HZD. Even only after the opening questlines that set up what the story of the expansion is going to be, the writing and voice work are reminding me that as much as I generally enjoyed HZD's, TW3 genuinely was a cut above (and this isn't even the expansion people really like!). But the mechanics and UI, patched several times since I beat the base game, still feel simultaneously shallow and insanely complicated, like you're asked to juggle five different versions of HZD's sore-thumb D-pad item interface without it really mattering that much.

baram. posted:my motivation to slog through ending b of nier is quickly disappearing. Speaking, Hearts of Stone is great! I complained a few days ago about returning to the combat and mechanics of TW3 being a disappointment after playing HZD, but re-familiarizing after like a year since finished the base game has helped -- mostly remembering that this is an easy game, mashing buttons and just using health potions will suffice in most cases without worrying about all the other poo poo.

I intended to go back to Nier after finishing TW3: Hearts of Stone but I started the download of Blood and Wine and then flipped over during a commercial of the baseball game I was watching to see if the download finished and have been playing it for like a week now. It's so huge. If this was a $40 standalone I'd tell everyone to buy it now. I think FO:NV was my previous "best DLC ever" game but TW3 has probably passed it.

I'd be relieved if it was Bethesda cause I managed to quit the show a while ago and if it was a better RPG developer like Obsidian or CD Projekt Red that might pull me back in against my better judgement. Really it's screaming for the KoTOR 2 treatment let by an outsider who isn't a blind fanboy.

Just finished Blood and Wine, think along with Hearts of Stone TW3 has displaced FO:NV for best DLC ever. So if you're playing The Witcher, absolutely do the two DLCs, they're fantastic.
