AC Origins
LA Noire Remastered
Guild 2 Renaissance (picked it up for $10 on steam winter sale)
I will also say that I downloaded the demo for Dragon Quest Builders for the kids (on Switch). I will be buying the game for them (but also for me... it's a lot of fun and reminds me of the good old days on the original Nintendo with Dragon Warrior.
None.
Edit: Still none.
UC Lost Legacy. Really enjoyed it. 9-10 hours of UC fun. May fire up UC4 again now.
Witcher 3 Complete Edition. Second attempt at it and it’s still meh. Bland colour scheme and mediocre combat. Going to give up again and learn my lesson to not reattempt games.
NBA 2K18. Still enjoy the today games. Eventually I need to start a franchise.
36 Fragments of Midnight- 2 Easy Plats on the cheap - but a fun little indy game
Mecho Tales Vita - another easy plat fun little shooter/platformer
Hidden Agenda - great little interactive movie game need to go back for the plat
Beach Buggy Racing - a kart racer decent gameplay but the tracks get pretty repetitive but a good break from the story grind
Uncharted Lost Legacy - the "final" in the UC series did not disappoint
Stikbold! - indy dodgeball game on PSNow
Minecraft Story Mode Season 1 - Just another easy :plat: from Telltale
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Director's Cut- outstanding little old school platformer with very deep moves/controls and is quite difficult but fair to beat. REALLY enjoyed this one.
Active Soccer 2DX - little indy soccer title that would get sued like NCAA if anyone was watching - dominated with Roomey and Pojba of Manchester Reds :nod:
Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice - Started it but need to go back to it when no one is around and I have time
Gal Gun Double Peace - a ridiculous rail shooter with Japanese anime girls and "Euphoria" - don't know if I'll go back to it or not as the gameplay thus far is really simple and the story is bizarre
I'll probably not finish most of these :D
So far...
NBA Live 18 - been playing the hell out of Live Run, loving it this year.
PUBG - finally getting to see first hand what all the buzz is about
Sims 4 - came out for PS4 finally late last year and having a blast with it.
Cuphead - lots of buzz and rightfully so, it's a great (and difficult) game.
South Park: The Stick Of Truth - got the Fractured But Whole for Christmas, it came with the first game so tackling that first.
Call Of Duty: WWII - Best CoD in a while.
Added Monster Hunter World to the fold last night. The whole system takes some getting used to, but I can see why it's getting high marks.
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Director's Cut is a fun little old school platformer if anyone has that Mario Brothers itch. Its fairly difficult but fair. The game is really pretty and the soundtrack is great.
I don't own it but I played the EA ACCESS version and yeah... it's a lot of fun. However they really try to gouge you with the cost and amount of DLC.Quote:

I didn’t buy or play a single game released in 2018. I did play the Madden 19 Beta but that’s the extent of my “new” game playing. So, I have no 2018 game of the year based on 2018 releases. Of the games that were new to me, my list of favorites is that exact order I’m quoting. Uncharted 4 was my favorite of that lot and I liked Lost Legacies more that Horizon Zero Dawn. For $20, Madden 18 was good but that was primarily because I was emotionally invested into Longshot. In terms of Madden itself, all it did was remind me just how much not having an NCAA football game hurts my soul.Quote:

I forgot I played UC Lost Legacy this year.
I can’t even remember everything but God of War and Detroit Become Human were games I loved and two of the best games this generation.
RDR2 had some fun moments but I have fallen away. Spider-Man is fun and disappointing at the same time. The game has good music, decent but not special graphics, makes you feel like Spiderman but is FAR to loaded with fetch quests and collectables.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider was disappointing too. Just nowhere near enough combat and action. Really devalued the RPG elements as a result. Nothing special about the story.
NBA Playgrounds is fun but it’s not that great imo. I think there needs to be more help for defence and 3 pointers are too hard. I don’t know how much ratings really matter when I’m throwing down monster jams with Chris Paul who has a 26 for dunking.
The only sports game I bothered with is 2K19. I liked 18 more which was more offensive. 19 has brick walls for defence, tons of steal attempts and took way more slider adjustments this year. The biggest change was how much stronger the defence is. The few improvements that are improved are pump fakes actually work sometimes this year and not broken. Also defences will double team the hot hand more now and you get mismatches on some switches on screens. Franchise mode has much improved draft day trade AI but it’s still way too cheap to sign veterans rate in the 70s. You can sign almost any player for a spot starter or good bench for $2-$4M a year. Too easy. Overall I’m happy with it despite the need for major slider adjustments.
Almost forgot that I rebought and finished HZD. Much better the second time around for me. I accepted what the game was and also dropped down to Easy. Enjoyed it.
Yeah. It’s way more fun with the challenge knocked down. How they expect people to kill 2 if those mole machines or 2 of those T-Rex looking machines at the sane time on a harder difficulty is beyond me.Quote:

I believe the only 2018 release that I own is FIFA 19.
Need to start playing it again. Man City beating Liverpool today could be my inspiration.Quote:

Replaced the console and the surge protector. Not much I can do about the crappy electric company. As much as I love the all digital future, having everything installed on the consoles hard drive was a mistake. Going to get an external HD to store all the big games because re-downloading some of these games is going to take days.
I did enjoy my time playing Fallout 76 with Jaymo. The game was super disappointing but playing it with him made it tolerable.
I don't consider myself an expert gamer but I played through the game and DLC on hard and while there were some difficulty spikes it was manageable. Just need to use the right tools for the different machines. Also having the Shield Weaver Armor is a game changer. Turns you into a damn tank. Without that I might have gone back to normal difficulty for parts of the DLC.Quote:
