I really liked Diddy Kong Racing because I could explore as well as race. In that regards its actually a bit like Forza Horizon, now I think of it. I like a little adventure in my racing games.
I replayed it a few years ago and didn't like the racing much or the controls. I still have fond memories of it though, and that hub area funky theme song. That's still going 'round in my head.
La Noire takes place in 1947, I just read. Its gameplay sounds very similar to the Sherlock Holmes game I just played. Maybe I'll play it when I do the 40s in May.
I see this at Gamestop every time I go in there and I stare at it, thinking I'd like to try it.
Now there just needs to be a cosplay band to perform it live. I, kind of want to be in that band.
Gosh darn it, I want to get back to Witcher 3. I wonder what real life time period it sort of parallels. Medieval times, I suppose, but maybe very late medieval?
Apparently, from various scif shows and other games I've played, this VR thing will be the primary way we relax and escape the real world. I'm resisting the idea in my mind right now, but an IP like Psychonauts could get me into it.
I've been thinking of playing LA Noire sometime in the next few months. I think it takes place in the 50s. May be similar to the Wire?
Panoramics are great for those landscape shots. Being a console player, I just use Xbox One's screen shot function but I often have problems uploading them to OneDrive, which should never be since OneDrive is a MS app. Today I just used my phone to copy the screen shot so I could upload it.
I've tried to dump my PS3 but it keeps coming back. I had a slim but now I have my old original monster console. It's not the launch one but the one just after they lowered the price. I wish I still had that slim now. I recently went and rebought a lot of games for it too. I don't know when I'll have the time though.
I've been kind of selective with my amiibo purchases. But Skylanders I went kind of nuts on. It helped there were a lot of sales on those.
