I did get Titanfall 2 bc of good campaign reviews, and I am enjoying it. However, none of these recent games focus much on narrative, just pure gameplay that I've seen before. And no, I will not be "pre-ordering" (people still do that?) The Last Guardian. It honestly hasn't spurred much excitement in me and it seems too similar to ICO/SotC, which were great at their own respective times for their unique atmosphere but weren't the most "fun" or "exciting" games.
Was hoping for more of a comparison to XCOM: Enemy Unkown, this reads like a basic overview that could easily have been copy/pasted from the first XCOM game. Didn't learn much
Totally agree, played it release week on "crushing" and hated myself (and the game) for it. Totally kills the casual nature of the game's tone and makes shooting from ropes and charging totally unrealistic in terms of gameplay. Disappointing, because "Grounded" in TLoU is probably my favorite example of difficulty done right.
Well I just ponied up for the Hitman Intro Pack, so that's a solid bet, especially since episodics tend to make their first episode free towards the end of their runs.
Wish List: Grow Up!, Inside, Abzu, Salts & Sanctuary, Enter the Gungeon, Indigo Prophecy
Dark horse pick: THE DIVISION (bolster their community, bring back into spotlight)
@ShogunRok Sorry, missed that line! Well I remember the music as a strength during my playthrough of HR, will be pleased if it's up to that same standard.

Re: November's Free PlayStation Plus Games include Everybody's Gone to the Rapture on PS4
Rapture was on sale like 6 months ago for less than 10 bucks, so not great value there...

@johncalmc @Reverend_Skeeve Great, thanks for the comments. More of the same isn't bad in this case, loved the first game (and expansion).

Re: Review: Resident Evil 4 (PS4)
Just played on PS3, really enjoyable. Wish there was something new to find here, no reason to buy again.

Re: Review: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (PS4)
@ShogunRok No mention of the soundtrack? Loved the music in HR, does it measure up?
