Tom Clancy humble bundle! Rainbow 6 was so much fun to dick around on.

Yeah, guess I'm stuck watching YouTube playthroughs till it comes down in price.

I'm doing this as well. Love how it branches out differently for different players. Going to pick it up when it's cheaper to shape the story my way.

16 and a half hours in.

I need to fill my base more though

Did you have trouble connecting to a server?

25 hours now... I haven't played a game that I love this much and I've put about 210+ hours of Witcher.

I'm playing Offline, I hadn't had an issue logging in though but I have been playing when the rest of the world isn't.

As it turns out, TPP is insanely massive. 62+ Hours and i've still not finished the story. Jesus.

I've been playing a crap ton of Diablo 3 now. Hooked on the new patch, and got conned into playing season 4.

[Strange Tales]

I've been playing Rust with my friends starting last weekend.

Actually a ton of fun. I've already had some weird moments that I laughed hard at like DayZ (nothing tops some of DayZ's craziest glitches though).
I probably like it a ton more than DayZ, which is somehow still as ultra buggy as it was years ago. I still kick myself sometimes for not just buying Arma and playing the mod because it seems way more put together and fun.

I can't escape Bloodborne still. Almost done with my second playthrough and only a few main chalice dungeons left. Bloodborne just made it so hard for me to get in to any other action-RPGs combat. I can't help but wish The Witcher felt exactly the same.

TPP is still super dope, looks gorgeous too. I'm just pretty shit at it.

[MrNovember]

I feel like I'm the only person playing, and actually enjoying Mad Max. Sure it's got lots of grinding and fetch quests, but it's in crazy violent cars

[Andrew]

Nearly done. Finished the majority of the story in TPP.

Shit, it gets so fucking dark.

[Iommic Pope]

I got that Star Wars Uprising thing on my phone.
Fuck the player missions blow.
But, like all mobile gaming I prefer the gang/cartel running aspect with the set and forget stats based missions.
Anyone else on that?

Plus I let my four year old run my vault in Fallout Shelter for a while, went back to check on it the other day and nearly everyone was dead and there was no money.
So that's been interesting.

So after 90+ hours of TPP in less than 2 weeks, it has some the best and most memorable moments in MGS history. I liked everything, even the ending - even if the rest of MGS fans are pussies. But it gets a little too repetitive and occasionally gets absurdly difficult for no reason, to be rewarded with 1:30 minutes of exposition rather than having an 8 minute codec call. The Phantom Pain really should have just been multiple Ground Zeroes sized locations, It's fun being in an Open World but the best moments in the game are in actual large key areas like Bases and Foundry type things. Also, you can't just start a new game for some fucking reason.

I think that I need to cleanse my palette before I spend the rest of my time experimenting infiltration, there's so much Stealthy possibilities. Though, I might watch Evangelion again.

Also, Witcher 3 campaign. YAAAAAY!

Built a PC in my absence over the past few months. Have a metric fuck tone of games to play, including MGS.

To be honest though I've just been playing a lot of Elder Scrolls Online. I don't have too much time to devote to the grind so I'm just hitting veteran ranks but game has been a ton of fun so far.
