So, Prey is a no-go because I can't deal with eye stabbing. Have fun everyone else!

 

I'm... really struggling with Andromeda. It's just... it's really not grabbing me like the last ME games did.

I've just had the chase through the Scourge awake from the hostile aliens and found the second vault planet. So please tell me it gets better?

 

The thing that kept me going back was the combat, which I found really fun, but story wise little kept me hooked. I will say the loyalty missions seem to be a lot better in terms of replicating that old Mass Effect feel. Cora's was really good.

 

I think he was referring to the fact it should be 'crisply'.

 

No, it was more a case of the need to satirise Americans and Melbournians.

 

No. Marcus is right.

 

Like Mustafar said, I enjoyed the combat, especially after I'd leveled up a bit. The story gets better, but don't expect it to be on the same level as the original games. I found the main story missions to be much more engaging than all the side quests to make the worlds viable. Sticking to the priority missions might help you enjoy the story a little more.

 

Could it also be because a good chunk of gamers are playing superficial online fluff such as Overwatch/Destiny/Battlefront/etc.?

 

No, knowing SE it's because they expected Call of Duty numbers from a Hitman game.

 

fite me irl

 

I've never played Overwatch/Destiny/Battlefront/Etc., so I may have to do that before harping on them I guess.

Why is Overwatch good though?

 

I don't know what else to say other than it's just super fun to play. Its biggest strength are the heroes who all have their own unique personalities and abilities. There may not be a ton of originality or depth to the core gameplay but they hit the nail on the head when it came to the character design.

 

Overwatch would somewhat interest me if it had a single player or even coop pve component to go along with those colorful characters. But it's just this generation's Team Fortress, and I was never too fond of that.

They've had co-op PvE modes but only for limited time events (i.e. Halloween, Christmas, etc).

 

I guess I mean an actual campaign/story.

 

I loved Hitman as being episodic. I thought it worked really well in the game's favour. It encouraged people to explore the hell out of the sandboxes as they waited the next episode. I found that it helped later too; when the bonus content for Sapienza dropped, it was because I knew the map well enough from previous playthroughs that I could find a few really creative ways to do both the movie set, and the right wing politican, hits.

FamousAmos - that's what I'm doing.

 

Yep I've got the franchise package for $4 this morning.

 

Luckily I still have it on my hard drive. I have the bonus episodes too but i'm still yet to own American Nightmare - is it worth it?

 

Help, I'm addicted to Stellaris and I want to get off.

That's a lie, I'm really enjoying it. Terrible at it, but enjoying it nonetheless.

 

Just replaced the laser on the old Wii (2nd time lucky, who knew there were 2 different laser setups in the Wii, and the first one I bought had a different connector cable to the one in my unit).

Anyway, just played an hour of Mario Kart with the kids, and now my daughter is playing Animal Crossing for the first time in 2 years. Might hit some old Wii Tennis later for nostalgia's sake.
