    Had a hankering for Saints Row 4 and fired it up on my PS3. Re-re-reconsidered getting it on the PS4, concerned that the reviews said it was only a graphical update, figured WTF and purchased it. Came to discover that there's all kinds of new content in the PS4 version. Came to realize the reviews I'd read and watched were just fucking lazy.

    Have gotten Jen hooked on rogue likes. She was already a massive Spelunky fan, but now that she's playing Binding of Isaac and Rogue Legacy, I don't know that I'll ever get to play the PS4 again.

    Rogue Legacy is hard!

    I've upgraded quite a bit and I still can't beat the first boss.

    Like what? If it's enough, I'd probably re-purchase it. Play as a different character type...

    It may be because of the Gat Out of Hell expansion, but there are a bunch of new costumes and a few new weapons. Mind you, these could be items from DLCs that I hadn't gotten, so, take that how you will. I didn't bother with any of the DLCs except ones that had new mission/quest content.

    EDIT, oh, I didn't buy the Gat Out of Hell expansion. I've never been as "into" that character as the developers have been. Honestly, I never understood their obsession with an otherwise bland, cookie-cutter sort of "bad-ass."

    MGS: The Phantom Pain reviews are trickling in. Many are calling it the best one yet, and Kojima's magnum opus.

If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I am not a MG guy at all, but goddamn does the Phantom Pain look and sound amazing.

    Meg has inspired me to get back into Diablo 3. Started a hardcore monk this weekend and have him up to lvl 35.

    Hardcore is my favorite way to play D3. I like knowing that something is at stake, and if I die after 20 or so hours, oh well.

    Anyone know if it's a necessity to have played previous MG games?

    I played the first one way back, but none of the others.

    I haven't finished one since 2, but I'll be playing the hell out of this new one.

    From all the reviews, it sounds like the story is entirely unimportant in this one - it's all about the gameplay.

    I can't even remember if I know the difference between a Big Boss and a Solid Snake, so all this hoopla about who you even play in this new one means nothing to me.

    The story is so convoluted I'd imagine you would not enjoy it if you don't know the history and references.

    I don't even recommend you play Guns of the Patriots if you haven't at least played MGS or MGS2. It would make zero sense.

    I was trying to figure out what you meant by character type, then I realized you were actually picking and choosing which abilities to focus on. Is that right? I was playing through it recently and reconsidered buffing up many of the powers to 100%, because by 100% they're pretty ridiculously overpowered. I'm also considering leaving some amount of damage taken from fire and explosions, and wonder if I could fore-go "no ragdoll on explosions," because I like the "recover" bit as your character goes flying. Anyway ...

    I have that MGS collection on the 360 so maybe I'll play those first before I jump into the new one.

    I assumed the script, mostly, but maybe some of the play elements, would be different if, say, I was a female character instead.

    Just watch this (it's a whole series, a critical review of each game - MGS1, 2, 3, 4 and Peace Walker). The review for 4 is almost 1.5 hours long.

    And again, most of the reviews say that the story in 5 is entirely unimportant, told mainly through audio logs that you can completely ignore. This one is all about the gameplay.

    Yep! They remastered it for PS4. I was holding off on buying it because I knew a sale like this would come around!

    I think it was $6!
