Been playing Resident Evil: Revelations 2 and DmC: Devil May Cry for some time now. Both are very great games. Revelations 2 isn't quite a return to form for the series but it's definitely a leap in the right direction. It's no REmake but it's also no RE6. I'd say it's somewhere in the middle like RE4 was. I also really like how much more the story connects to and references recent games. It actually feels like a much more proper sequel to RE5 than RE6 did. The gameplay and atmosphere is also a huge improvement over recent games.

As for DmC, I don't get where the hate came from. Movement and combat are very fluid and satisfying, environments are visually stunning, Dante is a lot less annoying than he was in DMC 3, and by the end of the game everything seemed to have reached the status quo for the series with

Spoiler:

demons getting into the real world, Vergil going all evil, and Dante's hair getting longer and turning white.

The changes people cried about don't even seem long lasting. For a reboot it's actually pretty creative and clever. It did a great job of retelling and expanding the origin while setting the sequel up for more familiar territory. It'll actually be a shame if we don't see a sequel for this game because DmC is a solid foundation in both its lore and gameplay and there's definitely potential to win over the fans.

I've also finished Alan Wake's American Nightmare recently and it's okay for a downloadable game. The character models and enemy and weapon variety are a step up from the original but the repeating of the same three levels feels cheap even if not totally unbearable. I also wish we got to spend more time in the daytime setting because the game looks fantastic in the light even if it is for a brief few seconds in the arcade mode.

And I finally started The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for the first time. I stopped right before the first dungeon and I'm really loving it so far. There's just something very Christmas-like about starting a new Zelda game. Gotta love Nintendo. They really know how to evoke happiness with their games.

Wow, playing Halo Masterchief for the first time was insane! I am so not accustomed to the controls. I kept throwing grenades using the left trigger when I was trying to just aim better, like in the other similar games I play.

haha that's too funny. but yeah i'm kinda not great at shooters myself, though i do loves me some Halo

Playing The Witcher 3 having never played the previous games, its pretty fun so far. I tend to get bored of open world western RPG games very quickly, but so far this one has been a pleasant surprise. The game also has some elements I wish Zelda games would use too.

I know you guys also think that Disney Infinity is the greatest game on earth..but after seeing this, I just MAY have a new favorite game!!!

Yeah, it's a shame that game got the hate that it did. I love it. The combat feels smooth and like other Ninja Theory games, the characters are real likable and have great dialogue.

Best Zelda game since Wind Waker.

Yeah, I hope the DmC remaster is Capcom sticking to their guns with the reboot but the re-release of DMC 4 makes me question which direction they're taking with the series. Hopefully they reveal their plans at E3.

That sounds great. Wind Waker is one of my all-time favorite games. It's definitely been quite a handheld experience so far. The music sounds amazing and I really love that the classic art style has been finally brought to life in 3D.

Look at the pictures...who do you think are the other two? I think on the right side that looks alot like Centurions. Especially the helmet.
Left side looks like Cobra Commander, but that would be redundant.
They said there will be two more licenced toy properties for this game before it is released. We may even find out at E3. Any guesses?

One of the most underrated developers of the last decade. How they continue to produce some of the most likable and well realized worlds/characters in games and receive nothing but tepid response is beyond my understanding.

Then again, Platinum Games has yet to make a hit despite producing gold on countless occasions and the most popular games in the industry are dreck, so I guess it isn't too surprising.

I went by Target today after school and bought 4 packs of Marvel 2.0 discs. I got a few REALLY good discs! I'm stoked to now own the WWII Captain America costume change and White Tiger team-up.

What is your favorite Disney Infinity disc? Which disc are you looking for?

[Peanut]

I like how despite literally every regular in this section ignoring and/or straight up slamming him, he continues to post the same sh*t daily.

Disney Infinity is SO BAD!

[AquaParade]

Anyone have any crazy MGS V theories?

I'm a sucker for that stuff, despite a lot of farfetched guesses.

Exciting news on Disney Infinity Toy Box TV!!!

Now, I have to hurry-up and decide where to get Batman Arkham Knight. Thanks to a guy who works at Target, I now have a place to sift through the MANY options...but which one is the best choice?

Not sure what I should get next. Splatoon & Toad's Treasure Tracker are on my radar, moreso the latter than the former. Frustrated they pushed back the Hatsune Miku game again. Starting to feel like it'll never come out.

Playing Half Life 2 for the first time these last few days. Steam sale. Yay.

[Netkeeper]

My mother made a deal with me that she'd buy me Splatoon in exchange for two week's worth of favours. I could buy it myself, but I'm trying to save my money for counseling, so I'm glad she agreed to that. I'm wondering if I could make a more permanent arrangement out of it and get Hyrule Warriors next.

[Mew]

Splatoon is am amazing game.

Not buying any new games until my birthday and christmas. Mostly because I have a huge backlog and I'm out of money.


Hopefully DK: Tropical Freeze is still in stock by then.

[Falconhood]

I was playing DI with a friend this morning, and he was telling me about Splatoon. He thinks it's lame. I was telling him about how people that are into the Nintendo Wii games like that are actually making fun of DI...we laughed and laughed and laughed. They are in the same genre, afterall.
His point about why he liked DI over Skylanders (etc) was because he grew up with all of the characters and relates to them. I agree, but I am also open to meeting new characters, like those in Skylanders.
We played the Asgard defense game which isn't hard at first, but gets to be a real challenge when you only have 2 people trying to fight off monsters from 4 portals defending the treasure of Asgard.
Oh, and I got some more Discs!!! The ORIGNALS 1.0 and 2.0 are SO much harder to find around here than the Marvel 2.0 discs.

So, Snake, when is your birthday? I hope it's not too far away. Coincidently today is the birthday of the friend I was playing. What are you planning on getting for your birthday?
I only plan to get one NEW game per month.
June: Batman Arkham Knight
July: ??? (any suggestions?)
August: Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars
September: Lego Dimensions
October: TBD
November: Star Wars Battlefront
December: TBD

I feel like I'm forgetting one.
I know I want Toy Soldiers (with He-Man and GI Joe) but I don't know when it is due out. Same for Overwatch, if it is even coming to Xbox One.

You know, I tried to stay out of this Falconhood business but...Nintendo Wii games are in the same genre as Disney Infinity? You don't realize how retarded that sounds?

[Powder]

Don't let the bullies get you down, Cure!

Wait, you don't agree that they are both toy-based games? I am clearly not talking about ALL of Wii games, if you read it.
