Aaahhh!!!!

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!

burn the heretic.

I was ready to buy a Ps4 for MGS5 pt1/2. Hell, I bought a Vita just to replay 1-3. I am so hyped now.

I will buy a PS4 when Persona 5 comes out and no sooner! I swears it!

Oh sweet. That makes everything easier. Revised statement: I will probably never by a PS4 ever and no sooner! I swears it!

I only seem to play the Crysis series in 2 hour chunks every month or so after consuming a good amount of alcohol, but damn, for a game that looks that good on Ultra with pretty solid Stealthy gameplay I don't know why it takes me a year to actually get through a single game. I mean the story isn't very exciting, like at all, and the Nanosuit is a complete Robocop ripoff and Crysis 2 is essentially just replaying the first section of Half-Life 2 with high textures.

I think that it's just too indulgent for me to enjoy, or the writing... sucking.

Beginning an overhaul of all my pc hardware and peripherals for gaming. First up, the keyboard. Having trouble deciding between these two:

Anyone have either? Thoughts?

I use that and it's awesome, just figured I'd throw it in the mix. You can get it cheaper elsewhere I believe.

Just got a new Corsair mouse since I had an eBay gift card. Got a lot of games to play and not a lot of time or motivation.

1. The Last of Us Remasterd: I've been digging it, looks and plays great and the story and acting have kept me intrigued. I can't see this being a perfect 10 game so far as the gameplay is getting pretty repetitive. I'm thinking they'll throw some changes my way.

2. DaS2 DLC: Just started exploring but no bosses down. I've logged over 100 hours on the game though. Going to focus on other things before starting back up.

3. Walking Dead Series: Beat the first on Xbox but playing it again on PC so my choices transfer over to the second season. Might binge play it this weekend

I've got a bunch of random stuff to finish up too. Portal 2 ( I know), OctoDad, Outlast and a bunch more. FIFA15 comes out in like 5-6 weeks, it's crunch time.

I suggest perusing something like the linustechtips channel for cool things and thangs, guy knows his stuff.

EDIT: Oh and I should say that I use one of the older Razer Blackwidows with the Cherry Mx Blues and I like it well enough.

I've tried a fair few mechanical keyboards, the Ducky 3shine is the best quality to price keyboard on the market. You can get any style of Cherry MX keys (I'm a browns kind of guy) and they're very well priced.

Trying to play Tomb Raider again, I don't know... it's everything that I hate about modern videogames rolled into one convenient title, but then again I can't get into TWD/TLoU so maybe i'm just weird that way.

I think I'm putting the gaming computer upgrades on hold. Spent more than $500 yesterday between gear and records.

Gaming keyboards from my 25m raid people have had very bad luck with the Razor stuff. People kill them pretty regularly, and the support hasn't been real hot.

Pretty much it's Logitech stuff for the support alone (call the company, say it's dead, get a RMA that you do by email, they send you another and you keep them both in case it ever dies).

My personal original G15 died after literally 7 years of abuse.

I totally agree with you on those titles. I didn't finish Tomb Raider or The Last of Us either. I dunno, I tried but fizzled shortly after.

I bought a PS Vita and a few games. It's my first handheld/console in 4 years! I've been playing Akiba's Trip, and SHIT. It's fun!
