Nioh is out. It's amazing. Dark Souls with Diablo style loot and blacksmith fuckery. Target has a deal going where you can get it for 30% off if you buy one of the $1 pre-order cards. Red Dead Redemption 2 is probably a good choice. I think the deal is in-store only. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCpDmVHSPik |

Wasn't this announced at the actual PS3 launch presser. Yes, 3. |

I'd put the difficulty in the ballpark of Dark Souls 1. Slightly harder than DS1 is my guess. |

I think you are right - I read that this game has been in development since 2004. I think they played a shitload of Demon's Souls (5 years later...) and scrapped everything they had. |

Here's a video of my fight against the second boss. I think it took me 8 attempts to beat her. First boss took three attempts. For the first side mission, I didn't even realize I was fighting a boss. The side mission bosses don't have big health bars or cutscenes. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/121076379 |

Fry's will match Amazon's new 20% off prime pricing.
Fry's is also capable of fucking up price matching. Got Ni-Oh for 50% off. Will begin playing asap. Party.

Nioh sounds interesting, but I'm just not hardcore enough for Dark Souls anymore.  Maybe if I had more time to game or somesuch. |

Right. I still need to beat Demon's Souls.
Anyhoo, tried Divide and it's... well, I'll wait and see if it gets more interesting. Looks very nice. Bothersome to control.

Apart from the ongoing project of Hitman, there's Nuclear Throne. Playing it just feels good. Though I've only reached the fourth world and I doubt if I'll ever get good enough to get to the throne.

Playing Enter the Gungeon, Overwatch, The Division a bit still.
Friend of mine convinced me to get Diablo 3 for PS4 like 3 weeks ago. Haven't touched it.

Overwatch, although I'm probably done for a while when the CTF event ends.
Stardew Valley too; I'm in the early bit of Fall Year 1.
I also replayed the original Portal today; it still holds up pretty well.

Wife is still hitting that Dragon Quest Builder game and cursing it the whole way.
I have made it through Sawtooth Canyon in BL2, and last night decided to jump into ARK and see what the shit dicks had built. It was simultaneously impressive and shitty. I want to tell them that if they spent about half that time on their own homes that they would not live in such squalor, but that's definitely a pot & kettle situation.
The boy wanted us to do a family activity, then I find out that he wants to play Towerfall. I did it and let the wife off the hook.

Not really feeling much, went to play some TOR and I'm back to the random disconnects. Never did figure out why that happened a few months back, it just went away after a week or so. But it only happens with TOR, so I'm probably done with that, not worth the frustration.
So no games, just catching up on some shows (Luke Cage, just finished Travelers), and doing art instead.

I finally tried ARK after having it sit there for ages on my Steam. Solo. It's ok. Horrible fucking interface. Half the dinosaurs are stuck in driftwood. I tamed a couple and they just wandered away even when I set follow to close.
Basically gives me the feeling that someday someone is going to put it all together with a game like this and it's going to conquer the Internets even more than Minecraft did, but nobody has yet.

ARK is all about loss mitigation. Not building or riding dinos (although that is fun). It's about preventing a complete start from scratch on death.

Some Grim Dawn off and on while working from home. It's (currently) less intimidating than Path of Exile.
I tried Dawn of Discovery again because I remembered it being fun, but turns out that memory is faulty and I should have played Tropico instead.

Finally finished FFXV. What a weird game.
I should dive back into the backlog but I kinda want to play Nioh. Decisions decisions.

I really love the Anno games but always get bogged down in the supply chain of "Ok, I need this and this and this to make this so I can make these". I get enough of that in minecraft, where I find automating it to be more interesting. |

Between games of LOL, I'm playing the Grand Campaign in Total War: Warhammer. This is a HUGE, HYUGE improvement over Total War Shogun 2. Load times are still a bit long, but so far the engine runs smooth as glass. The color palette is a little muted/brown is real for my tastes (made even more puzzling by the fantasy setting really asking to be tuned up color wise) but otherwise the game is solid. No crashes. The campaign feels real scripted and linear to start with, but I'm hoping it'll open up a bit when I conquer the last Secessionists.
They went hog fucking wild on the paid DLC, though.

Installed Mass Effect 2 on to the XBone. Been long enough that I'm not remembering every conversation word for word. Mostly about hyping myself up for Andromeda next month.

I finally got started properly on XCOM2. It's really good! Some of the timers are a bit egregious though, but mods 4tehwin.

Dropped it like a bad habit after CTF ended; I really hate the standard game modes. Went back to Pokemon Go since they added most of Gen 2; it's still too cold for walking so I'm just firing it up in random parking lots. I also reinstalled EQ2, but I'm 3-4 expacs behind; if I have to buy more than 1 of them I'm unlikely to stick with it. |

So, yeah, on the one hand, extreme thanks to those who donated subnautica and Stardew to Elena.
On the other hand, not getting near my machine anytime soon. Addicted father and daughter here.

Overlooked is a super fun couch coop game.
Go get it and play it if you have kids that play or bros over for the night.
Basically you cooperate in the kitchen to make various orders that come fast. Different orders and kitchen layouts add to the difficulty in figuring out optimal cooking orders.
It's more fun than I make it sound.

How mechanically difficult is overcooked? My 6 year old is obsessed with cooking, likes games controlled via mouse or touchscreen but is slow and can't use a controller very well.

Subnautica is pretty cool but man it can be a hassle to get some materials in survival mode. Also the aggressive wildlife are assholes and are insanely good at startling you.

It's pretty hectic and fast. The individual tasks are simple enough but you are under time and hazard pressure. You would probably have to do most of the work to finish levels. |

I have bought so many games for my new PC recently due to the Steam sales of the last few months and the recent Humble Bundles. The winner amongst them all so far is Mount & Blade Warband. It's old now, but timeless and I'm hooked.

Stardew Valley. Son kind of likes it, but it's a bit gamey on top of the sandbox. I think he'd prefer a straight sandbox without the story/progression barring making a farm. Me, I'm hooked. It's also very relaxing to play, which is a nice bonus.
Bought the D&D arcade game instead for co-op over the Steam Link. Looks awful, but we're having fun.
