I did buy this in December, but actually started playing the game only a week ago finally. This is both rewarding and haaaard at times. Sweet Jeboles, just finished the volcano. That place took me a while! So many retries, man that was frustrating. But now that it's over I can almost literally smell the fresh air again and feel the sunshine of the outdoors. Pfffffff!

I feel like finding some secrets now. Like I could really need some more hearts, I only have seven. Things should be within my reach now in lots of places with so many different forms available.

Personally I don't like the music in this pretty much at all, I turned it down a number of notches within the first hour. Visually the game is really beautiful, though.

I'm proud of that rare Injustice 2 platinum.

Nice. This has become a great time for the series to be released, just a few weeks before the new F1 season. It's a recap, basically, in a more dramatic version. :)

Drive to Survive, Season 2 on Netflix on February 28th.

This sounds like a lot of fun. :)

Kyle's update sounds thankfully happier.

Platinum #123: BioShock. A recent PlayStation Plus game (or all three of them, actually). I'd been meaning to return to Rapture since this Collection was released in 2016 and now I finally got no reason not to. It had been over a decade since I'd played the game and hey, it still holds up! Very nicely, even.

The platinum trophy can be earned through an easy trick, meaning you can play the whole game on Easy (and switch the Vita-Chambers off) and then just at the last moment in the final fight set the difficulty to Survival and BAM! The game thinks you beat it on the hardest level and gives you all the stackable trophies related to that.

Other than that you need to make sure you collect all the audio diaries, that's the biggest collectable trophy. And you need to keep your camera shooting and research with it all the different enemies which takes some time. Inventing 100 items came surprisingly close, as it only popped in the last main level. Almost had me worried.

And I just want to add that Andrew Ryan still has one of the most iconic voices in video games. What a character, what a vision.

Cool list we made this year. Lots of unexpected turns along the way - except for the top 2, for sure.

My top 8 looked like this:

#1: Death Stranding
#2: Judgment
#3: A Plague Tale: Innocence
#4: Heaven's Vault
HM: Control
HM: Mortal Kombat 11
HM: The Outer Worlds
HM: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

@dmcmaster I know you love this thread above anything, but please.

I ended up cancelling my pre-order when I saw the split reviews, came across the game a month later on a suprise sale in a local supermarket, went for it and HOZAAH! Now it's my GOTY for 2019. You need to play this to know if you'll love it.

Houser leaving is big. He's been an integral part of the whole GTA mythos. Interesting times ahead.
