It feels like Nintendo is the only one who finishes games before they come out nowadays.

I'm seriously considering the Xbone SO bundle. It's just hard for me to get over my 360 prejudice. I think one of my biggest gaming regrets is trading all of my Xbox games, peripherals, and the console itself for a 360 and Gears. My second would be purchasing the slim. What I'm trying to say is I really dislike the 360.

I say see if you can get any cash for the code ad if you get a good enough offer, sell it. If enough time passes without a good offer though, just use it.

I'm sure you're correct. I haven't been to the ebgames I frequent since the price drop so they're probably all gone. That's cool you've got the Unity bundle even though now we can't be besties on Destiny I'm going to throw my vote to keeping the Unity code if it nets you Black Flag. It's Black Flag. You're a pirate with a pirate ship doing pirate stuff. And you eventually get your own pirate cove. And you have a pirate ship. And you're a fucking pirate. With a pirate ship.

Played through the first two worlds of LBP3 and the second is wonderful. It has its own hubworld that you platform around and explore to go to different levels. It is small but there are hidden levels of sorts and places only the dog can get into, so you can explore it a bit more once you get him. Power-ups are really cool and Sackboy can now climb fences/grates like Mario in World and some of the NSMB games. Oddsock (the four-legged dog-esque one) is awesome. He can bounce off walls and controls a lot tighter than Sackboy. I hope they rest of the worlds are that cool.

I loved the level where you had to fill the milk shakes or whatever. The music playing in those levels just made it even better. In terms of story mode, most fun I've had with LittleBigPlanet. I'm basically to the same part as you Trip.

A friend of mine found Splinter Cell Conviction for 3 bucks at the dollar store so we've been playing co-op in that. It's great.

I liked some of the games on the 360, the console itself not so much. My purchase of it was because it was about a hundred bucks cheaper than the PS3 at the time and Microsoft had moneyhatted a lot of Japanese exclusives. Once those dried up, I pulled the plug on my Xbox Live account and switched over whole hog on PS3. Since I wasn't wowed by the 360, I never had much interest in the Xbox One, although I own both of its direct competitors.

I finished the LBP3 story mode. It's great, but man is it short. Disappointingly so. Obviously lots of other stuff to do in this game, but I don't think that excuses how short that mode is.

The levels that are there are definitely my favorite from any LBP game. Disappointing it is short, but when I play with my cousin to get every prize bubble that'll probably help soften the blow of the shorter length.

What if shipping what is basically betas is an attempt to ween customers off of physical media? I'm in no way anti-digital, but with a lot of games I have no interest until the goty. This has been something I've thought since the final phase of the 360/ps3. And now Nintendo has the eshop so it kinda looks like an unspoken agreement if not full on collusion.

This post also brought to you by the broken raid in Destiny even though pvp gets all kinds of love.

If anything, bad releases would make me buy less digital games. Return policies for digital purchases are strict at best and you can never resell them.

Though I do like having everything updated the moment I'm done downloading as opposed to excitedly throwing my disc in only to see I have 3 gigs of updates to install

I started up Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. Mostly playing Far Cry 4 though. I've spent a ton of time on it and haven't even unlocked the northern part of the map yet. Game is awesome.

Now going through the single player campaign of SC Conviction. Also tested out Blacklist for a bit and there's one thing that's really bothering me in both of these games... they're way too bright. Even if I crank down the gamma correction, screen brightness, and contrast, I can't get a reasonable brightness level. I sort of understand because constantly switching night vision on got annoying in the old games, but the black&white vision makes up for that by itself.

Co-op for the next game should be about Fisher and a stray dog that he cowers behind to infiltrate the superbowl halftime show undetected

I had the opposite problem aja...I had to crank up the brightness a bit. But I think the tune I did on my monitor is a bit less bright to start with.

Beat Splinter Cell Conviction. I played it on the highest difficulty and it was surprisingly easy. Still not my favorite game in the series but I had fun with it

Started up Alien Isolation. It seems kind of like a mix of Bioshock and The Last of Us. The controls are great on PC and do lots of clever little things that I don't think I've seen before. It's also incredibly slow paced for such a big budget game. Only had one alien encounter so far and I was kind of at a loss as to what to do at the time.

I did have this one infuriating moment, though, where my path was blocked by a row of suitcases lying on the ground. It wasn't even a huge stack of them or anything like that, just suitcases in a line. It was something anybody could step over with absolutely no effort. That was weird

I had heard a lot of buzz about Monument Valley and realized I had an iTunes giftcard, so bought it and the DLC. It is pretty cool for a mobile game. Really nice look and presentation. Puzzles are pretty interesting. Other than a few they aren't really that tough, but still solid. Fits good on the touchscreen. Didn't love it, but it is one of a handful of games on my phone I've actually enjoyed.

9 hours into Dragon Age Inquisition, but feel like I've only scratched the surface. So much to do in this game. Like the combat much more than 1 and 2 so far, they took out the giant swarms of enemies in favor of taking out a small handful at a time which works much better. Disappointed there's no stat building though, just picking your perks with each level up.

Also got my 7th gym badge in Pokemon Omega Ruby. It's fun, but this really is the worst region in the series. Way too much water and it's not as fun to explore as the others, especially Sinnoh and Unova.

So I probably spent too much on it, but I picked up this early access racing game on Steam called Next Car Game (a working title I assume.) It's a solid game, just lacking in content right now. Anyway, I just wanted to show off how glorious the car damage is

Dragon Age is overwhelming, I spend more time wondering what to do next than actually playing I think. I really like it so far though.

Sadly I find myself spending more time with my handhelds lately. Persona Q and Project Diva f 2nd have gotten the most playtime from me. I need a day alone in my room with nothing but Dragon Age and chips and soda D:

I'm like choco, I mainly play my handelds or in my case Vita. Been really playing Killzone, and it's a really great handheld shooter. It's easier to take a handheld and just escape somewhere and play it.

I started up Episode 1 of Telltale's Game of Thrones game. It's pretty much what I expected based off what I played of their recent games. Story seems fairly interesting so far though. I played three of about 8 chapters in the episode it seems.

Finally started my romance with Cullen in Dragon Age Inquisition and of course my mom barged into my room and ruined the magical moment and made it really awkward. THANKS MOM.

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, I'M TRYING TO SEX UP THE VIDEO GAME CHARACTER! JEEEEEEEEEEEZ!"

Oh gawd, Ar Tonelico was filled with moments where I thought "if anyone walks in my room right now I will literally die".

I always felt that way about Leisure Suit Larry.
