I agree with you until the ending. One of the worse final bosses.

I played the heck out of Shadow of Mordor, including the bonus content. I thought about going back and getting myself killed in order to generate more enemies, but figured I should just move on to something else.

Re: What Are You Playing? (February 2016)

i guess i like simple games with simple mechanics. the most complicated games i've played are probably the BioShock's and even those i don't think are considered complicated with the potions and stuff. i just found SoM complicated from the start and frustratingly difficult. i'm not saying i won't ever go back, but so far DisHonored has me a little intrigued...

I don't like complicated either, but the mechanics are nearly the same as the Arkham games. The game IS frustratingly difficult in the early stages, and you just have to build yourself up to handle your enemies better. Plenty of discussion about that in the SoM-specific thread if you decide to try it again.

Yeah, I'm still enjoying SoM. Finished the first DLC pack this weekend and will probably start the second one soon.

Man, the load times in Dishonored are slightly unbearable on the One. What's up with that?

I think it was fairly well known that Dishonored was a shitty next gen port.

Were the load times this bad on 360?

Finished this up over the weekend and all I can say is WOW. It was a short but impactful game and looked absolutely gorgeous. This is also the first game I actually went back to finish a couple things to get the platinum trophy, just to spend some more time in that environment. Hopefully more people get around to playing it.

Also finished up The Bright Lord over the weekend. I thought this was slightly better than Lord of the Hunt, although both were pretty good and more of the same from the original game. Overall I think I put in about 30 hours between the main game and both DLC packs. I think I'm finally done, but it was a fun ride.

Finished Grow Home today and immediately deleted it. Glad to be done with that.

XBox One is taking a little bit of a break until Quantum Break comes out. In the mean time, still trying to finish up Bloodborne while casually playing Street Fighter V and started Uncharted 2 today.

I don't think I've played any games solo this month. It's either been casual stuff with the extended family (Jackbox; Kinect Sports Rivals) or co-op with my wife (Yoshi's Woolly World; Star Wars: Battlefront; Lego Dimensions).

This'll change (hopefully!) next month with Twilight Princess HD and if I ever crack open Gravity Rush Remastered.

Glad to hear you dug it!

I'm not big on games that require remembering combos, but so far I've been able to make it through by spamming buttons. I like Combichrist, for the most part, so I'm digging the soundtrack. Story is interesting, with relatively easy platforming.
