I tried that Hyper Scape out just a bit ago. First time I ever played one of those battle royal type games. It was fun. Iā€™d get bored fast with that kinda game doe. Lots of pay for shit in it. Like weapons and suits and shit. I aint payinā€™ for any of that shit.

Bruh, I was thinking ā€œWhenā€™s this coming to Netflixā€?

For those those of you who dig classic Castlevania but arenā€™t following the Bloodstained thread, Curse of the Moon 2 dropped Friday. The game is excellent, I highly recommend it if you like CV3, the first CotM, or challenging but well designed 2d platformers in general.

Most definitely. Iā€™m not getting it, but Iā€™m watching every bit of that story cutscene movie when it drops.

You finna play that game? We should team up and destroy other dudes. Well, you can Iā€™ll just get lost and point out bag guys for you when I die. Name on that shit is Suegorin.

Iā€™m not gonna play the game when I get it. I still going through Sakura Wars, I started the Witcher 3 again and Ghost of Tsushima drops Friday. Got no room in the slate for it.

Coward.

Anyhowā€¦Iā€™m really liking Battlefield V. That shit is pretty intense.

I finally tried out that Nier Auatomata or whatever its called. Its pretty dope. Like a mix of different genres.

Saw some leaked gameplay and screens. Game looks so fucking good. Canceled my pre-order though, since Iā€™m pretty much burned out on buying anything new, until the new Yakuza drops. Got enough games I wanna replay and Iā€™m not finished with Killer 7 or Shinobi.

Itā€™s the black steel book too.

Gonna bargain bin GoTā€¦unless I get a decent job.

Whichever comes first.

Decided to get back into the Last of Us Part 1. Not too long after leaving the chick behind to fend for herself, I ran into a pack of mushroom men and some shit happened to me Iā€™ve never had happen before to me

These niggas got me on the ground and straight up stomped my ass out like I was in the club violating. Me and buds died laughing, they kicked my ass so bad I thought I got initiated into a gang. I didnā€™t know enemies could do thatšŸ˜‚

Anyone know if Best Buy usually gets SEā€™s of games that they just sell in store?

I wouldnā€™t mind getting the SE of Ghost of Tsushima cause Iā€™m a sucker for steelbooks.

Iā€™m right around the half way point in Uncharted 4, and it is easily my favorite game in the series. The characters have way more depth, the acting is phenomenal, the stakes are real, the gameplay is more polished, and for the first time I actually care about the lore of the adventure. I found myself getting sucked into the legend of Captain Avery and the founders of the pirate guild.

I also feel more emotionally invested than in any of the previous games. The whole sibling dynamic resonates with me because Iā€™m very close to my brothers. The drama with Elena feels real, and it affects the relationships between the other characters in a way that feels genuine. I found myself caring about these characters in a way that I hadnā€™t in the previous games.

The level design is superb and continues to get better with each location I visit. I really dig how opened up these sets are, it makes it feel much more non-linear, and finding secret treasures is actually more rewarding. Almost Zelda-like. And romping around in an old Jeep Willys in Madagascar was a blast. It actually felt like I was wheeling :joy: I take my Wrangler up to the mountain trails almost every weekend, so that part was a nice surprise for me.

Gun play is best in the series, with the exception being you canā€™t toss grenades back like you could in the third game. Thatā€™s kind of a bummer. But shooting feels great, aiming seems more nuanced and precise. And I think they finally nailed the stealth combat. I love marking enemies and then taking them down in stealth one by one. Love how it gives you the option to go in guns blazing or kill everyone without firing a shot. Good shit.

Yeah, Uncharted 4 is definitely best in the series in my opinion. Iā€™m going to savor playing the second half of this one and take my time (if I can). Iā€™d be stoked if they bring the series back for another adventure on the PS5.

Most of the steelbook versions of PS4 games have always been readily available at my local best buy.
They have some of other super expensive versions here and there

Iā€™ve gotten the following from BB:

Tekken 7 steelbook
Shenmue 3 steelbook
Yakuza Kiwami 1 steelbook
Yakuza Kiwamis 2 steelbook

That is good to hear. Iā€™ll just check out the availability Friday morning and if they have it they have it. Otherwise Iā€™ll just get the normal one.

I always see SE of games whenever I go to Best Buy. Sometimes I would get stuff like a steel book when I buy standard when they have too much in stock.

I have it in my library, but still havenā€™t played it.

They do. Itā€™s not available for purchase and itā€™ll probably just be something will need to be shipped.

That said, it looks like itā€™s part of the whole package.

I still found 2 more engaging throughout, but 4 is definitely an impressive title.

FEUDAL EDIT -

Pre-order link was somewhat hidden.

States coming soon at the moment, so Iā€™d just keep checking.
