On the off chance I'm able to find some games to sell or something I'll still pickup Splatoon at launch, though at the moment that's probably not going to happen. I genuinally had fun with the demo, and it seems like a nice not-overly competitive shooter that I actually would enjoy without worrying about rankings and such.
On the subject of worrying about rankings, I've been playing a lot of Hearthstone. My god that game has gotten an emotional response out of me like almost nothing else in decades. When I win I'm way too happy and when I lose I am way too mad. I actually deleted it at one point because I noticed the game was in fact affecting my mood. I'm forcing myself to stop playing at least an hour before bedtime because of that.
I'm also playing Plants vs. Zombies 2. I loved the original, but when I heard the sequel went to a Freemium download, I decided it couldn't be good. But I've read enough that confirms it isn't pay to win, and you can enjoy it without spending a dime so that's good enough for me. And yeah it seems good as the first, though they have added some very unnecessary story (why the hell do devs do that????) that kind of drains a little time that could go towards other things.... like more Hearthstone.
Totally unrelated to the recent news I have been playing castlevania LoS2 which is great. Don't get the hate.
It's hated because the entire series sucks ass. That's not an opinion. I can prove it with a protractor and a number 2 pencil.
I've mostly been playing Neverwinter, as usual with a bit of Mortal Kombat X and Dragon Age: Inquisition to check out the new mp dlc. Neverwinter really has me hooked right now.
Personally I'm getting the impression that Nintendo is purposely drip-feeding many of these Splatoon aspects to try to control and extend the longevity of the game. I don't think that it's because all this stuff is unfinished. This kind of puts me off if my assumptions are true because it's like they're saying, "Here, buy this $70 game but we'll hold off on giving you all of it until we feel the time is right for you to have it." Kind of rubs me the wrong way.
You people. Just cause it's different and uses the castlevania name weirdly you get upset. The first Is easily the best GoW clone ever made and the second has an open map with all sorts of abilities and secrets to find. Both the best 3D CVs ever.
Yup. That's even worse than it being unfinished to me.
It is.
It didn't have the game mode everyone was excited for. It still (?) doesn't have proper matchmaking. Shitty launch. Splatoon's launch is shitty, too. But let's not pretend Destiny's launch didn't screw people, too.
I finished Broken Age. And people call Molyneux a charlatan lol...
More Bayonetta 2, of course, but didn't have time to make much progress:
I have such a fucking nerd hard-on for Bayonetta.
True but the mode was in after a week. And yes destiny is missing tons of features and it still has more than splatoon will.
I have a fucking nerd hard on for the redhead babe in the Wendy's commercials.
I played the first one and I don't know if I have ever hated a game any more than I hate it. I hate everything it is and everything it stands for. Needless to say I haven't gone anywhere LOS2 but I hate it just as much for even materialising.
I would gladly pay to have my copy sent to Aspro in Australia so he would give it a torture death the way he did to Too Human.

Well, I liked the game too, but, sometime today it will be a distant memory, as the true heir to the CastleVania throne will be announced.
So far, Sword or Whip hasn't changed, but because of the time differences I don't know where or when to expect announcements.
I'll be refreshing throughout the day!
My friend posted this on his facebook page to announce that he finished Bloodborne twice!

Its his fingers on the other side of the disc? Clever....lol
BTW I could go for a new Paper Mario from Intelligent Systems. But I could go for a Paper Zelda even more.
Yes, his fingers, his photo. He is a really funny guy.
Travo ... that Paper Mario rumour better turn out true. You got me hoping! I so miss a new Paper Mario. Especially one like the first two games, not so much the Wii one, though that was good too if truth be told.
