Mostly watching TV shows ATM. But before that I played Wasteland 2 Director's Cut and will soon start Horizon Zero Dawn.
 
Looking for downloading. Looks like Open Beta is 6 Oct 0800Z.... :)

Downloading SWB2 Multiplayer Beta for XB1 (started downloading the PS4 version, but forgot I don't have PSN). Should be ready later on when I get home.

Gonna download the PC version when I get home (let it download while I play the XB1 version). Can't wait for the 1080p/60 goodness... ;)
 
SW: Battlefront 2 - lots of stuff for a demo. I was told I can download the PS4 version and still play that without PSN+ subscription to try.

Download PC version.

Seems like more of the same of Battlefront, but in the 1st Trilogy timeframe. Good I guess...

Just tried Axiom Verge (PC) and Neon Chrome (PS4) - looks like I'll be getting those on Switch... :)
 
Downloaded the trail run for Gran Turismo Sport. Unfortunately it looks like most of the game is geared towards online play. But I'll try it out and see if there's enough single player content to keep my interested.

Still plugging away at Bloodborne. Think I'm close to the end but I don't want to look it up online in fear of spoiling anything for myself. Such a great game.
 
Where exactly are you?

I beat Martyr Logarius on the roof of Castle Cainhurst. Then I beat Rom the spider and touched some weird mummified body and ended up back in the Unseen Village but it's now a Pale Blood Moon. I beat the boss there that was some pile of bodies that slithered out of the moon. Now I'm running these insane gauntlets. I'm currently trying to run past this room of spiders hanging off the ceiling and I end up fighting this ******* dude on a bridge who is spraying mist at me. I was one hit away from killing him before I died last night so that's where I left off.
 
I know the guy you're talking about. It's funny; the first time I went through there I was so determined not to die that I didn't die. Subsequent attempts? Not so much.

Yeah, you're pretty far into the game. I thought Logarius was one of the hardest bosses!

I died to him quite a few times just trying to see what his moves where. It's tough to measure out how far away to go while still being close enough to run in for some hits and then run out to escape that big skull attack.
Cool fight though.
 
Dark Souls 3 tonight!

Finished the Cathedral of the Deep. Outstanding level design! At some point I looked up in the main hall and thought how cool it would be to walk on top of those arcing beams up there... Sure enough, a hour later I found the way up, and watching all those black knights clumsily run off the beams was really funny! :D Very cool and varied level. Only the boss fight was a letdown. Beat it first try, just button-mashed my way through it.

Is the Order 1886 any good, started it but not getting hooked on it...should I continue?

TBH this is how I was with it.
I played it earlier this year as it was cheap and it was a bit of a slog.

The later chapters are a little better and the story ties together nicely in the end, but outside of it being a pretty gorgeous game, there weren't too many memorable moments for me.

I did like the shooting in the game though. Compared to something like Uncharted, I felt as though weapons handled really nicely.

I'd persevere if I were you. It does get slightly better and it's a very short game.

Loved that game. I can see how people might have knocked some points off after playing Bloodborne and seeing how many assets and ideas where reused, but DS3 was a really great game. That area was really cool and the Boss was a fun fight.

I bought it on sale for like $4. I've only played an hour or so into it but I'll eventually get around to finishing it off. It's got nice presentation and an interesting idea for a story but it's nothing that I really want to rush home and play.

Currently hooked on Axiom Verge and Minecraft again. Just nice open-ended games before Mario Odyssey hits.

How did it go? I was looking at GTS too and my biggest worry was how much online play vs offline they have. I hope they're not going down the EA route.

I'm not interested in playing it online and this game is ENTIRELY focused on that so it's not a buy for me. The presentation of the game itself is really nice and it looks great on a 4k HDR TV, but there is nothing to do for single player and it doesn't even save your progress if you aren't playing online. What a waste.

a little bit worn out with all these shoot 'em up games and AAA and consoles and new Switch games so just bought a cool Steam PC puzzle bundle and playing those...

http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/2723/Relaxing_Puzzle_Box/

gonna just chill with those - will also run on old laptops.... ;)

would be cool if they released these on the Switch... :)

If you are looking for something on the Switch that isn't another AAA game or shooter, I read they announced that Kentucky Route Zero will be coming to Nintendo.
Absolutely amazing game. Very relaxing to play. Very weird. It's a point and click game with some really cool story telling.

That sucks!! I really like GT games :( Any good car racing alternatives ?
 
The Forza games on XBox look good. Project: Cars also looks good.

Haven't played either of them though. Stopped buying racing games when they stopped making Burnout games! :)

I've been lusting over the Forza game for a while but don't wanna buy an Xbox as I already have a PS4. I'll just go play it at the Microsoft store for free when I go to the mall next time, that place is the best free arcade :p
 
Going to start on Gears of War 4 tonight.
I haven't been playing much the last month or so, just some Forza 5 and a bit of Battlefield 3 multiplayer.
