I put on Titanfall 2 last night and forgot how good of a game that is. It is too bad COD always eclipsed the series. The multiplayer and guns are fantastic and one of the best level design was in the "simulation fabrication" stage of the campaign. Looking back it got really good reviews but rarely heard much buzz about it.

My Time At Portia

Bigger better version of Stardew Valley. Slight difference in building workshops instead of crops. A ton of quality of life features. Really not sure why this game didn't get more hype. If you liked Stardew Valley, you will like this one. Sure it is a Stardew Clone but it really is a great game if you like games like Stardew.

I also think Pathfinder Kingmaker didn't get enough love from the CRPG fans but the initial release was a buggy mess so I don't blame folks from staying away after the early reviews. Now the game is 100% patched. 150 hours of fun if you like CRPGs.

I'll continue to bang the drum that the Titanfall series has been the best in the shooter genre for a while and has suffered from some really questionable decisions when it comes to release dates. They need to avoid the Battlefield and COD release cycles.

They are by far the best playing shooters out there. Even if you have an aversion to the futuristic parkour stuff, they do it right and in the right environments (maps that actually fit that play style).

I am not a fan of parkour, but this game nails it.

I agree 100% with the rest of what you said. I hope respawn works on a 3rd.

The new Prey and the dishonored games were never ones I could get into. Not sure why.

I've tried so many times to get into Dishonored 2 but it still hasn't happened. I absolutely love the first one and I know 2 will eventually click, but I'm frustrated at how long it's taking.

if you would just come to the realization that you hate all video games you would save lots of time and frustration by picking up a new hobby.

Agree.

The story doesn't grab you, world feels smaller.

But still enjoyable.

So after playing more Titanfall 2, I have come to the realization that only extremely good people are still playing it. Getting my arse kicked.

Loved Dishonored 1, pre-ordered Dishonored 2 and never played past the Clockwork Mansion or whatever its called.

For me:
-Vanquish
-Hell Let Loose
-The Wolf Among Us
-Shadow Warrior

My GF doesn't game, outside of Mario Party and Mario Kart.

But she is always asking if there is a new Wolf Among Us. It is the only game we have played together.
