Started Persona 4 Golden last night so definitely more of that. My first encounter with the franchise and I already feel this is going to be a very special game.

Some Street Fighter V, Injustice 2 and Trackmania Turbo on the side.

@RogerRoger Loving the weekly gifs 😀.

@Bioth Cool! I can’t make it unfortunately but I’m sure there will be a great crowd. Have fun and give ‘em a proper welcome home!

Not a lot of gaming due to a stuffed weekend. Probably some small Vita sessions on the fly.

Great weekend, y’all.

Today the sun is burning and the ball keeps turning. Football, friends, sunshine and a couple of beers... I love summer weekends!

Tomorrow I’m thinking Tales from the Borderlands (probably followed by some Borderlands 2) and Street Fighter V on ps4 and Stardew Valley on Vita.

For me, the appeal in a lot of these games is straightforward objectives and satisfying progress. I think it's very difficult to make a game that is easy to get into but keeps providing just the right challenge that makes you want to master it without becoming too frustrating.

@Quintumply It's great that you mentioned Hitman in the article beacause it's so unique. Usually I have one 'main' game going on (a big action/adventure/RPG) with a couple of side games ready to dive in anytime. When I first started playing Hitman I approached it as a 'main' game but the way it's designed I find it more enjoyable to have it on the side and fire it up whenever I feel like. Basically I play it more like I play a racing game or a fighting game - Clear some tracks in Trackmania Turbo - Work through a Multiverse ladder in Injustice 2 - Take on a few escalation contracts in Hitman -. Short and satisfying sessions!

Yeah, I will pick this up at some point.

South Park: The Stick of Truth on PS4.

Papers, Please and VA-11 HALL-A on Vita.

Very tempted to pick up Yakuza Zero at that price!

The Sexy Brutale and Injustice 2 on PS4.

Forma.8 on Vita.

Sweet, I felt like playing a FPS campaign. Impeccable timing!

Nice one! Will pick this up at some point.

Not my go-to fighting franchise but I have to admit that this looks good!

And here I am still messing around in Sapienza.

*Not bat 6/10

...I’ll show myself out.

@Ralizah Yeah, the turn-based combat in combination with the use of Igniculus to hinder opponents or heal your party members provides a strategic battle system that keeps you engaged.

Ratchet & Clank on PS4.
Gravity Rush on Vita.

Interested in VA-11 HALL-A.

Cool! I never would’ve bought it but I’m gonna give XCOM2 a go eventually.

@MadAussieBloke Enjoy! Seems like a very solid deal. You won’t regret it.

I think now is the perfect time to purchase a Vita if you’re interested in getting one. Here in Belgium, game stores have no interest in buying your Vita so a lot of people offering a ‘Used PS Vita, barely touched’ for 90-150 euros (depending on the extras you’re getting) bit I can imagine the prices going up in time.

I’m actually considering buying a second one as a back-up but maybe that’s a bit crazy 😉. Maybe if I find a good deal with some physical games included in my neighbourhood...

@Rob_230 @JoeBlogs I prefer Armspin style because you only find gun modules in the side rooms so you can stack up on HP and charges. Shops are rare so you save the gems you get from killing enemies to buy HP in the shops when they do appear. And, indeed, the sooner you can get knife and fork the better.

The final boss is really something else, though! Once you figure out his attack pattern you can anticipate but it took me countless efforts to beat him. And then, when you think you mastered the game, there is hard mode to kick you and your gunboots back to the ground.

Such an addictive, unforgiving little game...

I bought a second hand Vita this year and I absolutely love it!

@JoeBlogs I'm 3 trophies away from the platinum but Hard mode is really... well... hard. Armspin is my preferred style.

Done! Great website with an exquisite community.

Greetings from the person responsable for probably 90% of your traffic from Belgium 😉 (P.S. I’ll just have a Stella, thank you)

@Rob_230 I know a sweet deal when I see it. Thanks for the heads up! Getting this straight away.

Hitman! I’ve been neglecting my fighting games so Injustice 2, SF V and Guilty Gear xrd rev 2 are getting a go as well and I’m Looking to start Gravity Rush on the Vita.

Really enjoying Rayman Origins on the Vita so very happy with Legends. I’m sure it will deliver as well.

Two Souls seems to divide opinion so I’ll take the opportunity and try it myself some time.

Hotline Miami and Rayman Origins on the Vita.

Hitman and Street Fighter V on the PS4.

Picking up SP: The Stick Of Truth for PS4.

Hitman and Burnout Paradise Remastered.

Might play through The Bunker too. I think a game like this delivers the best experience if you complete it in one sitting and tonight I have a couple of hours to play.

Wow, this looks really awesome!

And Jeff Goldblum.

Burnout Paradise Remastered and loving it! I’m glad they remastered this one. The grass seems greener but I have yet to find the pretty girls...

All my gaming happens on the PS4 and I love having a mix of new releases and enhanced classics.

Some invoke pure nostalgia (Oddworld new ‘n’ tasty takes me back to my childhood), others give me the chance to (re)play masterpieces (SOTC / R&C) and others fill a void in the library (Burnout Paradise providing that arcade euphoria rush and Borderlands: THC providing 4 player split screen madness).

Whether you like them or not, I think it’s great that they are on offer!

Haven’t played the original but I’m absolutely loving this so far. This is just the game I needed on the PS4.
Pure Uncut Arcade Euphoria!

Definitely picking this up at some point.

Just got the plat for Aven Colony so I’m taking a break from colonizing planets for a while. I’m sure my appetite will come back soon, though.

Must be Super Seducer, with his reputation.

Now this is a game for real trophy hunters.

There goes my standard answer to the reocurring 'what free games do you want' article.

I'm just gonna do it once more...

BLOOOOOOOOOODBOOOOOORNE!!!

BLOOOOODBOOOORNE!

And Knack 2.

Guerilla can be very proud of their achievement. They left their comfort zone and created nothing less than a masterpiece.
The fact that their new IP won Technical and Story proves the excellence in both aspects of the game.

Injustice 2's focus on presentation and the huge amount of content payed off. Every fighting game is different and personally I prefer the fighting of some other titles but you'll never hear me say that Injustice 2 didn't deserve this award because it's the best overall package on the market.

@ShogunRok Agreed!

@Kidfried See you at the ball then!

Definitely picking up The Sexy Brutale!

@Bonbonetti You’re absolutely right, it looks as if the game was designed to play with a controller. I also love how straightforward and intuitive the gameplay is.

I haven’t played any of the games you mentioned but I bought Tropico 5 a while ago. Haven’t started it yet but the review here says the controls translate pretty well to the PS4. I played Tropico 4 on the PC and liked it a lot! More emphasis on politics, trade, diplomacy...

I love these kind of games, very happy to see them finding their way to home consoles.

Aven Colony, what an amazing game this is. It plays so well on the PS4.

Pixel madness on the side with Mother Russia Bleeds, Uncanny Valley and Downwell.

Looking forward to a relaxing sunday with Aven Colony.

That is indeed a delightful boxset. Good luck, y’all!

Hotline Miami Collection for 5 euros? Yes, sir!

Very nice and unique addition to the already great roster!

Ratchet & Clank + Tekken 7 story mode, to catch up with the shenanigans of the Mishima family.

Borderlands for me! 4 player split-screen mayhem galore.

@themcnoisy Cheers to that! Another reason for a drink today as of tomorrow dry februari (here in Belgium we call it Tournée Minerale) starts.

Next up? I’m with -hope I do it right - BLOOOOOOOOOOODBOOOOOOOOORNE!!!
