Games haven't changed in terms of quantity. FarCry 4 for instance has a base game that is pretty big, but it has also dlcs, same goes for AC 4, Dying Light, Dark Souls series, Bloodborne etc etc. Actually, most games nowadays tend to jump on the sandbox bandwagon because they want to offer the players more replay value and such. What I miss most of the time is the atmosphere the games had back then, even with all the technical limitations of their time. Haven't seen any games like Planescape: Torment, Shadowman, Legacy of Kane, Jedi Knight or Blood 1 & 2 lately. It's really sad because when a developer tries to create something like Shadows of the Damned, Beyond Good and Evil or Psychonauts they are so heavily punished when it comes to sales that they lose all hope of going after the same direction twice. There are indie games that try to bring stuff back from the dead but you rarely see a AAA game developer go after something that is unique, instead they prefer to play it safe. Conclusion: You still have your Burger, Fries and your Drink for the same price, it's just that they don't taste that good anymore. You can buy a sallad instead but that will not fill your belly!

Dear Lord in Heavens, in case you exist, I simply whisper and not shout: Please let this be true!

Yeah, I've seen funny things happen in GTA Online but at the end of the day it is no fun at all. The heists could be worth checking out but there are lots of games that do that better(Payday, BF: Hardline). The single player portion of the game is fun as hell though. The world is so alive and interactive that it puts most role-playing games to shame.

Just got myself a black cat in Pillars of Eternity. Oh joy! <3 Getting a little further in this game and holy ****, I must admit that facing well armed human opponents is no walk in the park! I wonder how it must be to play this game on Expert Mode or Trial of Iron. It's still great fun though, I love how I got out of most situations without getting involved in much combat. Truly a well balanced game. Also, I met Durance... I also play some Borderlands 2 on the PS4. I decided to go with Zero this time around. It's great fun playing as zero, his special skills remind me of Lilith the Siren in the first game. Still, my favorite class remains The Mechromancer.

D4 is coming to PC. Yay!

Pillars of Eternity. This game plays very well, it really pays of to use different strategies. Big foes suddenly collapse like ants with the right strategy. I love my Orlan Cipher. I take control of a weaker foe, it starts attacking the bigger foe and by the time the big threat is over I simply finish up things by killing the smaller foe. I also like the different choices you can make around every corner and the fact that the result is not always what you think it is. Very engaging stuff! I am in love, of that I am sure!

Just got my Pillars of Eternity key for steam. Ohboyohboyohboy I am so excited. I am gonna sink deep into this one!

Bioshock: Infinite had a much better story. I am not sure if Wolfenstein: The New Order even had one and while the gunplay was great in The New Order the variety in guns was pretty bad. I liked Wolfenstein: The New Order a lot and I appreciate the good things in it(such as the art, the humor, the gameplay etc.) but I did expect a little bit more of it. I am excited to see how Wolfenstein: The Old Blood will turn out.

Finished playing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Now I am not a big COD fan(especially when it comes to multiplayer and such) but the main campaign was great. The story was ok, the weapons were fun to shoot and the exo-suit works great!

Has anybody played Dying Light yet? Any impressions?

PC gamers rejoice! Dragon's Dogma[ Online is coming out for the PC.

Saints Row IV: Re-Elected froze on me for the second time. Going back to GTA V...

Just started playing Saints Row IV: Re-elected. It also came with a code for the Gat Out of Hell stand-alone expansion, pretty neat stuff! I expected the graphics to look a little better since this is a remastered version we're talking about. It's great fun though, I still dig the customization and the chaotic, over the top action. Edit: It seems that the Xbox One version of the game includes the expansion on the disc, while the PS4 users have to download it separately. Weird!

Really excited to try it out. I am sure the exploration will be fun, with or without a friend. I wouldn't mind playing together with you chaps once it's released.

I have finished Borderlands 2 twice already but oh man, am I ready to go through everything that is in that box together with my younger brother.

I didn't like that either. It looks way too similar to Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide. Everything else looks pretty rad though.

You get to experiment with stuff. It's somehow like a "What if..." scenario and humans are curious beings, they like experimenting with stuff and what safer way than a video game? I even heard that back in the 90's some police forces used a modded version of DOOM for room clearing training and such.

Yeah, that's what scares me too. Remember Me looked gorgeous and the presentation was great but everything else was pretty much mediocre. But maybe they have learned from that game and I am itching for a vampire themed RPG.

I would recommend buying Mass Effect 1 while it's still on sale. You can build your character in the first game and import it to the second game. There are a few extra quests available that way if memory serves right.

Yes. I bought the PS3 version.

Gun Monkeys(steam) A code for 1000000 in-game dollars for GTA V (PS4 - works if you have a Region 1 PSN account) Pm me if you are interested.

Dragon Age Inquisition. If you've not tried it yet it's definately a game you can get lost in. Yes. The crafting was the highlight of the game for me.

Bought used copies of Killzone 3 and Of Orcs and Men yesterday. Got to play Killzone 3 for a few hours and it sure is an improvement over Killzone 2. The controls are much more flexible now and the set-piece battles are awesome. The story and the characters on the other hand aren't really good but that's hardly noticeable when the shooting is so much fun. Haven't played Of Orcs and Men yet, but the way I know Cyanide Studios, they are pretty good at storytelling(Of Orcs and men was co-developed with Spider Studios though). Looking forward to playing it soon.

I seriously hope someone at Yager Gamers isn't reading this thread.
