I also didn't enjoy Papers, Please as much as a lot of people did. Certainly not as much as the people that were saying it's their game of the year. That's just crazy. I enjoyed certain aspects of the game, but the time limit is what ruins it for me. You have to get through a certain number of people each day, but you only get paid until 6 pm I believe. Then you're working for free. There are so many little things the further you go that you are guaranteed to miss something and be fined, further reducing the amount of money you get. It's inevitable that you will go into the negative and have to start over. Then the next time you are aware of what you were supposed to be looking for and are able to make it to the next day, when you are bound to be fined again for missing something, and so on. So you have to keep playing the game over and over just to get to the end. No thanks.

I stopped watching Agents of SHIELD a while ago. I wanted to like it and I am a Joss Whedon fan, but I just didn't enjoy it. I don't like the characters and none of the episodes interested me through the first 4 eps. and I just kind of stopped watching. I had high hopes for it but it's not for me.

I have collection 1 & 2 on blu ray but I haven't watched them yet so I can't help you out there.  I'm pretty sure you need both unless you only want to watch half of the story.

I still enjoy collecting physical copies, but everything is headed towards digital clearly.  The downside for publishers is that they can no longer sell statues and other collectibles with their games for double the price in collector's editions.  They will probably work around this and sell a case with a download code inside so they can keep their collector's editions as long as people are willing to buy them.

The downside of a streaming gaming service is obviously the lag.  Having lag in a multiplayer game is expected, but in a single player game it's not acceptable.  For RPGs and stuff where there isn't a lot of twitch gameplay it's probably fine, maybe.  But for action games I can't see it working too well, at least not right now.

Not sure why that would happen. It's not like they make her boobs the focal point or anything. Oh wait, they do.

Ni No Kuni! I thought it was better than the average reviews it received, but I also thought the story could have been better.  I also didn't get a chance to play a lot of the ones on your list, but there are a few I wanted to play just never got the chance to like Dragon's Crown.

I really wanted to like it more than I did.  I may have had too high of expectations for it unfortunately.  I think the story is top notch though.  It would make a pretty good movie, if they didn't confuse everyone.

Cool. Tomb Raider was a lot of fun. I would keep an eye out for The Stanley Parable on Steam because it's bound to be on sale again.  Thanks for reading.

If you liked Heavy Rain you're probably more likely to like Beyond, but of course that's not guaranteed.  I really enjoyed it though.  It focuses on the story and making choices more than the gameplay, but there are some "gamey" sections as well.

Brothers is good.  There are some creative ideas but they're not necessarily ground breaking.  If I had just held off a little longer, it would have been free this month on PS plus.

I enjoyed the setting, but now that you mention it, they did change A LOT from what they initially showed.  I remember I watched a video on Youtube that showed some of the combat from when they initially showed the game and it was way different.  Not sure why they changed so much but I guess they know best.

I've only finished Vice City, GTA 4, and now 5.  I have played some of the others, specifically 3 and San Andreas but never finished them.  I got to parts in the games where I just got stuck.  They do a lot better now creating missions that aren't semi-impossible to complete.

Neither did I, but that's because nobody read my shit. haha.

Play To the Moon. It's a fantastic game. It's not really an RPG, it's really an adventure game, it just looks like an old RPG. It's pretty much all story.

I saw this on Amazon a couple of days ago and it's only $25 there.  It was temporarily out of stock but you can still order it.

I still remember the sky from the Mass Effect 2 Shadow Broker DLC

I like the game, but in what way is it reinventing action-adventure again?  If the game was called Uncharted 4, would people think that it was significantly different from Uncharted 1-3?  People would probably complain that there are less puzzles than in the first 3 Uncharted games.  It's a good game but it's not reinventing anything.

My goddamn 360 red-ringed again and I am not getting another one, otherwise I would play this.  I don't want to have to buy the game again on PS3.

I liked Spec Ops.  I think when I listed my top 10 games from last year I put it at number 10.  I don't think it will do anything for anyone that's not a shooter fan though.  But for the price of free on PSN it's worth playing for anyone that enjoys that type of game.

I'm not a big In N' Out fan either, but it's better than McDonald's I guess.  I prefer Habit.  Pineapple Teryaki Burger... (That was in Homer Simpson voice).

Superman 64 is the first and last Superman game I ever played.  It's that good...

It's more about style and gameplay mechanics than the country of origin.  You could have a company in San Francisco develop a Final Fantasy clone and it would be considered a JRPG.  It's just a way of differentiating two styles of games that can be drastically different.  And Europe is still considered to be part of the Western world so I don't think you need to worry about ERPGs popping up any time soon.

I think the biggest problem is that publishers get greedy and try to change games in order to make them appeal to more people.  Using Dead Space as an example, Dead Space 2 sold well.  Rather than build off of that, they wanted to try and make even more money by opening up the series to a wider audience.  How do you do that?  By making a game that's more action oriented apparently.  But in doing so they alienated the people that enjoyed the previous games in the series because of the perceived change in direction, and they weren't successful in bringing in the new audience that they were hoping to.  Sometimes it's better to have a moderately successful niche title, than a by-the-numbers blockbuster.  But EA is in the business of making the most money possible so they took a shot and failed.  That being said, I actually enjoyed Dead Space 3 and didn't find the combat to be all that different from Dead Space 2.  Earlier today EA denied rumors that the Dead Space series is over so time will tell I guess.

Not sure that I can say any game or series is the best ever, but it's definitely my favorite series.

Hey, quit ragging on children and men who live with their parents. They're people too...  But I agree that there is a stigma attached to video games that will probably take some time to undo. 

I never go into gamestop because I hate the aggressive salesmanship that has become so prevalent in retail nowadays.  Apparently life is so much better with magazine subscriptions, rewards cards, and credit cards specific to every store.

I played Dear Esther last year.  It's pretty short, like two hours, so you could easily get that one out of the way.  But it's true that you don't really do much in that game.  It's mostly just walking around and listening to the story.
