Most of the Stranger Quests were great, and I did all the various races/triathalon/shooting quests as well.

The only stuff I'm not doing is the ridiculous collecting...no way am I scouring the city for 50 spaceship parts, 50 pieces of news scraps, or 30 submarine parts, etc. I can't believe they still put god awful collect-athon nonsense in games...there's no way to even find everything without a guide.

I just realized that as of tomorrow, I'll have had Animal Crossing: New Leaf for a month and I've played it at least once a day since I got it, even when I was sick as hell last week. Other'n that, I think the only thing I've played recently is a bit of that godawful Turtles game.

Hey, I played City Folk daily (sometimes minutes but still) for two years. Habit forming game.

So, looks like Sony sh*t the bed with their launch games, which has made it far easier to convince myself not to sit outside in minus weather to get one. Thank god. Let's hope there's something worth play on X1.

Knack is pretty fun, despite the reviews.

*Zulithe* · 11-17-2013, 02:02 PM

Bouncing around between Knack, AssCreed IV and Killzone Shadowfall on PS4 thanks to amazon's B2G1 free promo for launch.

I'm finding ACIV the most fun

I guess that's no surprise since it's probably had the most time and experience put into it since it's an annual series. I've not given this series much attention after the first game, but if I get through this one, I'm thinking of giving ACII and Brotherhood a look since those are the better ones so far. Thankfully I already own the PC versions thanks to Steam sales (they're sitting there waiting for me T__T)

But Knack and KZ are definitely beautiful and offer a lot of different play experiences, that's for sure. KZ is really gorgeous, I'd swear it was playing on a high-end PC if not for the low field of view. Super smooth in every way. Unfortunately the story and gameplay (particularly level design, which feels more on rails than I'd like), aren't its strong points for me.

Knack is the kind of game that I probably would never touch if not for it being a launch game without a whole lot else to chose from. It's had some good jokes and cut-scenes, but the gameplay is pretty bland and the artstyle is just yuck. I will probably finish it though and maybe do some achievement hunting, just to stretch out the value while waiting on more games.

I also have all of the PS4 day-1 PS+ free games, but not dug into them yet.

Friday: SM3DW & Zelda:ALBW! Got mine pre-ordered, gonna pick them up from GS right after a meeting that day, so I'll have them at noon ready to play :3

Peanut · 11-18-2013, 12:03 AM

I played some Knack tonight and it's...boring...to say the least. Tedious as sh*t. Had the chance to play Killzone, but lol...Killzone. I will never understand how Sony was able to cram an absolute POS of a shooter series down enough throats to get it to stick.

Oisterboy · 11-18-2013, 01:50 PM

Finished up Knack, I enjoyed it. It definitely was button-mashing repetitiveness, but it was a fun little romp despite its shortcomings. I got it for $40 rather than $60 which is probably why I'm able to say 7/10 on it. If I had paid $60 I'd have wanted it to be better and would rate it 5/10 probably.

I'll give it a replay probably to try and hunt down the remaining treasures if theres a big gap between now and watch dogs and infamous.

Killzone up next...although I'm having fun with Resogun and will replay Flower too.

*Cure* · 11-19-2013, 06:14 PM

XBox One in a few dayssssszzzzzzuuuuuuuuh. I'm going to die waiting.

*CyberCubed* · 11-19-2013, 06:22 PM

Last few games I played:

- Rayman Legends is great, except the Murphy levels are terrible.

- Batman Arkham Origins is pretty decent, but worse than the last two Arkham games. Only recommend if you're a hardcore Batman fan.

- New Super Luigi U is actually pretty good. I didn't get it until now but I'm having alot of fun with it.

Just to the Volcano Zone (5th one). What I really liked about the game was the music, especially the Rusty Ruin music and 2nd boss music (the 2nd and 4th stages).

*Roland* · 11-20-2013, 03:27 PM

^Well the game is tough. I get confused at what angle Sonic runs. I also thought the music is awesome.

It's funny that you like the same tracks That I do! I have it for genesis...I think I spent more time listening to the music in sound test then playing the actual game...

Peanut · 11-22-2013, 01:07 AM

Waited 3 hours in the freezing rain for my X1 and now I feel too ****** and tired to play it.

*Cure* · 11-22-2013, 01:10 AM

I got my One, too! It's all so coooooool. The controller feels, the headset is super comfortable, the voice clarity is nuts. Ryse looks craaaaaaaaay! Oh man, I am too happy.

See you all on liiiiiiive!

Luke795 · 11-22-2013, 03:26 AM

I may get a PS4 or XB1 for Christmas.

**Barkworm** · 11-22-2013, 09:35 AM

I cancelled both my PS4 and X1 pre-orders last week because I suddenly realized that I don't care about the launch line-ups at all. See you in 2014, next-gen!
