I've been playing a bunch of games I either didn't dl or never got far in or just want to get trophies in.
LEGO Marvel Superheroes was $6 when I bought it and is my first LEGO game. Tbh I think it's a mix of outright boring tedium and a few chuckles here and there from inside jokes. But, I do like certain mechanics like flying ( though the "go through these hoops" challenges really highlight some control flaws therein) and it is addictively simple. I'm actually enjoying exploring the open world NY hub and collecting secrets and trophies a lot more than I enjoyed the linear storyline. What ... happened here?
I finally killed the Griffin in Witcher III and was asked a bunch of questions about a war I knew nothing about. My dialogue tree choices were meaningless, cause hell if I know if I was making Geraltb lie or not. I then skipped what looked like a LONG tutorial on a card game. I might come back to it, but it's on the burner for now.
I deleted Bloodborne from my HD (still at beginning stages of that one as well; hoping to come back to it as well) to dl Shadows of Mordor. So far it feels like Arkham Knight with worse graphics and an LOTR skin ... I'm actually kind of enjoying it, though it has not been too challenging thus far.
I downloaded a demo of Gravity Rush 2 and think I might get that if it goes on sale
I also completed the FFXV Platinum demo. I was excited for an FF game with an action-based combat system, but it does seem real repetitive. Also, maybe the demo's different, but while I certainly find the game pretty, it wasn't the shit-my-pants gorheous I've been reading about. That said, the boss in the demo handed my ass to me if you don't count the fact I revived no matter what. That challenge may actually encourage me to buy the game.
Then I decided to torture myself by realizing that not having my PS4 hooked up for the better part of the year made me miss out on free Journey, Nba2k16, and REHD Remake. Still wish PS+ would just auto add free games to my library.
I've kinda been binging on games of late because I recently got over a bout of MDD and can actually enjoy these things again, so your holiday message is appreciated even if Wellbutrin has gotten me past the worst of it the past couple months or so.
