I know the whole thing with EA was a mess at the game's release, but the PS Store had Star Wars Battlefront II for dirt cheap (like $6) a few weeks ago. I'm having a lot of fun with it.
Been diving into NFS: Rivals on XB1. It's a mix of fun and frustrating. Call me old, but open-world racing games seem contrary to the very nature of racing games for me--at least if they don't have an easy, fast, assured way to exit the open world (which Rivals does not ).
Oh, and I've been messing with Doom 2016 too. Looks like I've gotten even worse at shooters in the 16 years since I last played one--and I've learned sure as hell didn't miss them.
Try the Forza Horizon series.
I'm itching to play this game so bad! Thanks for making the itch even worse lol.
Playing the only game there is to play until they come out with something better... Call of duty!
I try to avoid making definitive statements like this due to recency bias, but I wonder if that's not my favorite video game of all time. Masterful storytelling. At one point I thought I was going to cry. I only wish it had tracked play time, as I would be really curious to know how many hours I dumped into that thing (and will continue to in the future).
I'm currently playing Spider-man and it is even better than I expected. I'm ordinarily a pretty casual gamer and don't feel beholden to anything I play, but I've found myself moving a little faster in the morning just so I can make time to squeeze in a few minutes of play before work.
Not unless they have patched it sometime in the last several months, unfortunately. I was surprised, as I cannot recall a modern Rockstar game that didn't include statistics.Maybe in the Player settings you can view your stats or in General settings.
I have several of the same issues with the game as well, particularly the brittle weapons. I don't mind if weapons degrade, so long as I have a way to repair them, but Breath of the Wild's system is beyond frustrating. It's especially disheartening because not only do the weapons break, but some of them are downright fragile and will only get a handful of uses before they break in your hands. I still like it well enough, particularly the puzzles, but it offers enough frustration that I allowed myself to become distracted with other games after 30 hours. Maybe someday I'll pick it back up again, but I admit I'm certainly in no hurry.I just picked up Zelda BOTW for the second time. The first time--I didn't get it. I hated how the weapons and shields always broke, the way a blood moon resurrected everything I'd killed before, and the lack of direction.
Botw was fun to play. But after beating the game and getting all the cool gear and huge horse I got bored of finding temples and seeds. Also found the final boss to be the easiest boss the whole game so that was a let down.I just picked up Zelda BOTW for the second time. The first time--I didn't get it. I hated how the weapons and shields always broke, the way a blood moon resurrected everything I'd killed before, and the lack of direction. I didn't understand why it was so popular. Anyway, after letting it collect dust for a year I put it back in the switch a couple of months ago to give it a second try. I started over from the beginning and it somehow clicked this time. It's an amazing game--I still don't like how weapons break (especially the master sword powering down), but I finished with the divine beasts and am now faced with trying to find all 120 shrines, 900 korok seeds, and more armor--or taking on the final boss.
Funny thing is, my two daughters also picked it up over the summer. All three of us individually have sunk over 50 hours into it (which my wife is becoming more vocal about...)
My prior favorite Zelda games were Link Between Worlds and Windwaker. I think BOTW belongs as my new favorite.
I went ahead and beat the final boss tonight. It was relatively easy but still satisfying. I don’t think I’ll go back and find more stuff—time to move onto something else!Botw was fun to play.
