I feel like I should pay more attention to Ubisoft's game soundtracks.

Huber's review is out, glad to know he loved the game as well. I ended up ordering a physical copy that won't arrive anytime soon to save some cash, see y'all in February.

I like the sense of confusion and danger that is so prevalent while exploring the world in Souls games. Not only you have to pay attention to figure out where you should go, but also be on guard against any enemy you spotted. It's like a big jigsaw puzzle that also has traps that will hurt you if you do wrong things. Souls game demand a lot of mental capacity and attention to enjoy all of its qualities, and it can be both very rewarding and tiring for me.

There's more I want to say about this but I can't focus my thoughts right now, so I'll just say three things:

• I love The Last Guardian, but I think the technical issues that it had should have disqualified it from being GOTY. The framerate can be so atrocious on base PS4. Also, Uncharted 4 got snubbed! :p
• Far Cry 4 winning best shooter of 2014 is straight up disgusting. Wolfenstein The New Order wins that easily, and I would personally put it as GOTY.
• It's kinda hard for me to criticize MW2 winning GOTY now, because in hindsight the multiplayer is very impactful to a ton of people out there, but on the other hand everything else the game offers are not nearly as good, and there's way better games in 2009 imo.

Fucking hell... Another example of a studio being dragged down by a few fucked up individuals.

Picked this up for 5 US$ a few days ago, played for a couple hours already and have just reached level 6. It's pretty great so far.

The gunplay is much more fun that it looks. It's not the flashiest shooter in town, but the weapon feedback and variety are solid, and they did a good job of portraying the enemies as absolute assholes.

From what I have explored so far, Washington feels pretty dense in terms of activities, and the amount of objects, debris and whatnot does so much to sell the post-apocalypse vibe. The world's structure seems to be in line with other Ubisoft open world games, and I'm cool with it since the structure actually fits the theme of the game.

I like that the game didn't immediately overwhelm me with all of it's systems. I think it does a good job of easing me in, unlike another looter shooter I played sometime ago.

The story and characters are meh at best so far, but the presentation is not too distracting so I can live with it.

I think playing this actually made me a bit hyped for Massive Entertainment's Star Wars game. I don't think I would be too hyped if it's another loot focused game, but I think they definitely can make a great SW game. Hopefully this game can keep up the momentum as it goes, I'm pretty hooked right now.

Microsoft canceled the Live Gold price increase and will be making free to play games not require Live Gold anymore in the future. Good stuff!

Hitman 3 is apparently the franchise's biggest digital launch ever. I remember seeing that Hitman 2 didn't sell well at launch, so this makes me happy.

Vicarious Visions got merged with Blizzard. What the hell are Activision doing?? VV revived Crash and THPS, and they're getting treated like this? This suuuucks.
