That was just me being a worrywort. It turned out to be nothing. Luckily, I went in more or less not knowing much. I tend to fret a bit too much about avoiding spoilers because of a few negative experiences in the past, but you didn't actually spoil anything. I was just being paranoid (BTW, I didn't mean to reprimand you for that comment and I hope that's not how it came across). No apology needed.

I think I assumed the Carruth reference meant time travel? I haven't seen Primer or Upstream Color, but I knew that time travel was involved in the case of the former film and I made the leap to wondering if that was, like, a secret gameplay mechanic or something…which evidently wasn't the case. Sorry for unnecessarily worrying about it and mentioning it at all.

As I continue to put thoughts together to respond at length to your post, let me just say you should watch Upstream Color. It's on Netflix I think. I recommend it not only because I think it's a fantastic and strange movie, but also because there are weird parallels (what else would they be besides weird?) between it and Inside. Some quite obvious, some maybe not so much. I'm not really seeing anyone talk about the connection online (one reason I was so eager to spit it out before) so there's a part of me that's wondering if I'm crazy.

As someone who only recently started to engage with two-screen Nintendo hardware (and never owned a DS), this Kotaku piece was a pretty cool read. I guess it's the end of an era.

Also, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a free PS Plus game next month. If you can stomach a walking simulator (sigh) then you must play. Easily one of my favorite PS4 exclusives.

Yeah, it was that walking that stopped me from finishing.

It's kind of hilarious that I even have to point this out, but it was discovered there's a way you can walk faster.

I think the folks running PS+ need a little math help.

In their Sale of the Dead, RE 4, 5 and 6 are $14.99 each.

Or you can "save even more with the bundle", which has all three games for...$47.69?

What's the best single player FPS on PS4? Doom?

Yeah that'd be at least near the top for me. It's pretty great.

Also check out Wolfenstein: The New Order.

Far Cry 4 for me. Metro Redux is worth a look as well.

Cheers. Might buy Doom. I think I'm only going to buy games from now on on the basis that they take less than 20 hours to complete.

I have Far Cry 4 on PS3. Didn't care for it, even though I liked Far Cry 3.

Is Battlefield 1 out yet

Yeah it looks cool and received good reviews. Looks fun and vaguely anti-war.

I felt the same way about Far Cry 4. Played about 4 hours and got bored, but I really liked 3 and LOVED Blood Dragon.

The mountain setting, while pretty looking, was really irritating to navigate and besides that it just felt like more of the same.

I think instead of buying a new game I might try and get through all the PSN games I've accumulated. Started playing the Abe's Odyssey remake. Far more effort seems to have been put into this than your standard HD update. Still fun 20 years down the track.

Thinking about going back to Bloodborne after I finish BioShock Infinite.

Want to play Infinite Warfare but don't have the moolah for it at the moment.

Going to start a new BB character and play the DLC (which I never played).

Now that I'm done with Fallout 4, I'm also trying to figure out what game I'm going to play next.

That Mass Effect trailer looks brilliant. I've always wanted to get into the games, just never found the time. From the looks of the trailer, it doesn't appear you need to have played the previous games to enjoy it. That may just make it my next game purchase, after I finish the Fallout DLC (which at my rate should last me all winter).

I'm not sure how far I am through Infinite, but theres so much back tracking and everything looks the same. I'm not enjoying this entry as much as the previous two.

Agreed. The story is super cool but the gameplay and world are a step backwards.

They should have just made an animated film.

I don't even think the story is very good, and it doesn't mesh with the gameplay at all. Still enjoyed the game though.

You absolutely should play them anyway. The lore itself stretches to Star Wars or Trek level of detail and every game adds more information to the Universe (such as, alien race history, alliances, timelines of human contact, etc).
