Ok! I beat Bioshock Infinite yesterday!! Those of you that were in here propping it up were absolutely correct. That was a fantastic game. While I probably prefer the mysterious and creepy setting of Rapture, Columbia was still a pretty interesting place. The sky-rail system was pretty cool. I really enjoyed the mechanics of the game. Felt very smooth and I was happy that you could finally run with your character (the lack of that always drove me nuts in the first 2 Bioshock games).

The story was pretty good. Got a little confusing at times, but, I'm pretty sure I pieced it all together. I did notice they have a Burial at Sea downloadable expansion. So, I think I'm going to play that next. Anyway, great game and just overall fantastic series. If done right I think it would make for an excellent movie/TV show series.

That's great you got through the series and found Infinite more enjoyable as you went on. That was my favorite of the group, something about having a world in the clouds mixed in with that Atlantis theme.

I'm going to try to replay the game to see if I like it better after these years. It's possible I just had such high expectations of the game because of the reviews and how much I loved the first two games and it left me underwhelmed(?) . I'm glad you like it.

It's crazy how different it is compared to 1 & 2. I heard really mixed reviews about Infinite on my way through the series so i wasn't sure what to expect. I did genuinely enjoy it though. I would definitely give it another chance.

Rogue Company is now free to play in open beta if anyone has been wanting to try it.

So I played (and beat) The Bioshock expansion Burial At Sea Part 1. It was good. I really enjoyed it, though, it was rather short. I went to play Part 2, and, I think I'm going give that one a pass. It's stealth based action and I've just never been huge on those kind of games. I'd rather come out blasting! Kick A first and take names later.

I'm not sure how I feel about this game. Graphics look good but I don't know if I feel like it will grab me and pull me in. Some of the cockpit views look annoying.

In relation, there is a similar space flying game on VR I played, and man, it have me some major motion sickness.

All the scalpers bought up the initial batch and will turn around and sell them for even more, and people will pay too. Trash. That's why i always wait a good year or 2.

Oh yeah man, Bloodborne is my jam and my biscuits! One of the few games that made me rage but was the most rewarding bc of it. My fave of Ps4.

The Dark Souls game you generally parry and attack frmom behind. Bloodborne you attacked head on but had to be real good with the sticks to dodge/time your defensive stuff.

You're making me want to run it back....almost (game is too hard for 2nd runs personally) Not near the quality of bloodborne, but Surge 2 is a good game similar.

So I totally forgot that I own Far Cry 5. Bought it back when it dropped, started to play it, and then it got pushed to the backburner and buried in my game library. Came across it tonight and was like, "Oh yeah!" So I threw that on and started playing again. Took me awhile to remember how to play the game. lol It's pretty solid. Some of the gaming mechanics feel a little clunky but you get use to it.

I've heard of this game in passing and remember the older ones on PS2 but never got to them.

Is the combat real time or turn based? The game does look interesting tbh

Far Cry 5 is tight..give it a little time. I sunk countless hours into that game/second fave after part 3.
