Damn, you're right. But this isn't anything new. It does happen a lot that shops bring games a little earlier. But this is a legit copy I bought. *shrugs* I also noticed right now that the trophies haven't appeared yet. Probably because the game hasn't been officially released yet. I live in Tehran/Iran and the games here are usually either region 2 games from Emirates or region 1 games from the US. That's how things work in a 3rd world country I guess. I mentioned it here before but I also got Mass Effect 3 one week before the official release back then. On the game itself: It's awesome, right at the beginning I encountered an enemy that was pretty strong but with some patience, timed attacks, dodges and parries I managed to kill it.

Just got The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for the PS4. The game came with the soundtrack disc, a map and two stickers. The packaging was also pretty neat. One hour into the game and it feels and looks great.

oh wow, I played that sooo much back in the day.. But didn't they do like a sequel remake in 2008? That was a reboot of the series which was developed by Propaganda Games which got defunct later on shortly after releasing that Tron game. The 2008 Turok games was not connected to any of the previous games or even the comics. It was simply the story of a space marine on some alien planet. The game was also known for it's bad aiming and controls.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2015]
I am on chapter 4 in The Witcher. Replaying it actually. going to import my saves for the second game. Haven't played The Witcher 2 yet. I wish there was a way to import your Witcher 2 saves to the PS4. My PC can't handle The Witcher 3.

Gaming: Then vs. Now
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.

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!

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!

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!- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
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.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
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.- Dead Island 2
I didn't like that either. It looks way too similar to Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide. Everything else looks pretty rad though.- What's the point of games that attempt to emulate real life?
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.- New Vampire RPG in development.
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.- What are you playing now?
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.- What are you playing now?
Yes. I bought the PS3 version. - What are you playing now?
