    The Binding of Isaac - Afterbirth is out for consoles.
    I cannot advertise this game enough - if you like roguelikes like Spelunky - this is your game. I probably have played Rebirth (Afterbirth is an extension) for more than 300 hours and still have to unlock things. Every run is unique and there are still synergies I have to discover.

    Oh, and Dark Souls III is really really good, too :lol:

    Playing mostly 3DS games right now. Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Yokai Watch.

    The list of games to play is getting a little crazy though but I I can't do more than a couple games at a time so will have to finished Yokai Watch first before I finally get a chance to start Dark Souls 3.

    It's great! Probably Blizzard's best rollout of a new game ever. Servers held up perfectly yesterday. The game is so fun. I'm all in so maybe a little biased, but I would highly suggest getting it.

    I guess I need to play a demo to see if i really want to or not. Game purchasing would be SO much easier if there were more demos of upcoming games you could play before blindly purchasing expensive stuff.

    There was an open beta earlier this month. If you buy the normal version, it's only $40.

    I did the open beta and picked up Overwatch last night on PC. Great character and level design. Gameplay is easy to pick up, if you're familiar any FPS games. No noticeable issues with the servers last night.

    If you play on a console, you only get the $60 version (suckas!).
    There's a nice set of goodies if you play all the other Blizzard games especially if you play Heroes of the Storm. Tracer for free is great (she is $10 or you're going to be gold farming to buy her), plus some cosmetic items for other games that you normally can't buy. Blizzard has always been awesome at cross promoting their games.

    Can you guess who the inspiration is for my Demon Hunter's colors?

    Yup. It's the first thing that came to mind when they added new armor to the game.
    Also an example of Blizzard's cross-promo. Demon Hunter from Diablo 3 with wings (cosmetic) from Overwatch and a pennant from Heroes of the Storm. :D

    looks like Metroid... everything is copy.

    I played the overwatch beta. It's ok. I don't like the aiming mechanics for some of the characters. Getting a bullseye 1/500th the size of the view screen from one place to the other is kind of daunting to me. and some of them cant focus.

    It's gorgeous though.

    Ok...Overwatch is pretty fun. Add me on battle.net if you want to team up. I've been playing a few AI games in my own to practice and try different toons as well as learn maps, but will play Quick Play matches with friends. When I play against AI, I'll always pick D.VA....just cause I can keep firing and not worry about ammo.

    The bf is helplessly addicted to Overwatch.
    I'm sort of kind of half playing FFXIV, but recently a bit too down in the dumps to really get anything done.
    Still playing a shitload of Summoners War on iOS, though.

    Are there actually story modes in Overwatch? Seems like allot of money to be wasting in CG animated movies if there are no cut scenes for characters in some kind of story mode.

    No story mode, characters that hate each other's guts can be on the same team, and you can have multiples of a character on the same team. Makes no damn sense to me, but people are eating up the CGI promos like hotcakes.

    They could at least have them available for ppl to watch at the start menu? Idk just seems like a huge fucking waste. That could be more money invested in game play instead of trailers. I mean they make tones of money i know they could care less but REALLY? lol

    It's just a game. Enjoy it or don't. Why complain about the story or specific features when you don't even play?

    If you have enough of an attention span to navigate to the Overwatch website, find the Media tab and watch the movies, you'll find they are actually quite well done and add a lot of depth to the featured characters. The digital comics are very good too. But you have to sit there and click and read things, which may not be everyone's cup of tea.

    lol

    Its not that i don't have the attention span its just i don't understand why they would put such crazy work into those CGI promotion stories if they are not going to be included in the game at all? They did it with Diablo 3 and World Of Warcraft. Seems kind of counter productive. I mean that's more money that can be invested into game features if you ask me. And if you like the game and don't care that's fine. Its just my pet peeve to be honest with allot of games nowadays.

    Each character has their own story and to make a story mode, the game would be gigantic and cost more than $60...not to mention the time it would take to make that game. As far as the game goes, it is just fun. Story is just for all those cospalyers :lol:
