Played some Pokemon Go and Salt and Sanctuary today. I love that game... the hack and slashing is great for taking out stress! Might play some Pokemon Ultra Moon in a bit.

Just restarted Dead Space 3. Turns out despite believing I'd finished all three my existing cloud save is only at 59%.

Catching up with Pillars of Eternity on Steam for a bit, still a great classic cRPG.

I don't remember, did DS3 have online co-op?

I don't remember, did DS3 have online co-op?

I believe it does, some bits are optional and can only be done in co-op I think.

For some great four-player couch co-op, you really need to check out Overcooked for the PS4, XB1 and Switch.

Premise is simple -- fill as many orders as possible in a certain amount of time. Making the food is simple enough, the controls are quite basic, but working together and overcoming obstacles, that's where the challenge begins.

Played a bit of Pokemon Go today... getting closer to hatching a pair of 5km eggs. And played some more Salt and Sanctuary and a bit of Pokemon Crystal.

Been playing Far Cry 5's opening, I am blown away by how much it has hooked me already. Wasn't expecting this after Far Cry 4, which was super fun, but a much slower burn.

Looking forward to play some co-op with my buddy tonight.

I second that, be prepared though, it's super frantic!

I'm having some problems finding the last two Cheeseburger bobbleheads on Far Cry 5, but after that, all I have to do is find the underwater kegs and finish Joseph Seed, then it's off to God of War!

Battletech Tactics, new Battletech (d'oh) game from the original game designers funded through a Kickstarter.

Awesome game, still a bit buggy (my PC keeps crashing during one particular story mission) but it's still an awesome turn based strategy game with giant robots firing missiles, lasers and cannons at each other.

Far Cry 5 is a lot of fun

 

[Random_Spock]

Been playing a lot of Salt and Sanctuary lately. Working on leveling up and grinding for items, salt and coins. The game is way too fun. Also played some Pokemon Go yesterday along with Pokemon Shuffle, Pokemon Crystal. Played a bit of Pokemon Ultra Moon this morning.

Finally tried again against the Sodden Knight in Salt and Sanctuary... and took him down! Working on more fighting and leveling up and grinding for more potions and items.

Playing A Way Out with a friend. It's an awesome co-op game designed from the get-go for two players. There are two characters each with their own history who hatch a plan to escape from prison. Think Great Escape. Very atmospheric. Once you do manage to escape out into the wilderness, you get yourselves into quite an adventure. One of my favourite parts so far is a ride down a river that turns to rapids, and to steer the boat properly, you really have to cooperate with each of you having a paddle. Really quite a unique game in the scope of things, and so many interactive details. It's been making for quite a memorable experience and makes me wish more games were like this.

What's really cool is only one player needs to have bought the game. As long as you're on the same console network, you can invite a friend to download the demo, and then your friend will send you a friend pass that unlocks the game on your end.

Finished up Far Cry 5 the other night and have been walking around in a daze for two days. While Far Cry 5 is the most fun I've had playing a game since Just Cause 3 (re: lots of times me just laughing my ass off), damn the ending is a bummer!

 

[Random_Spock]

Played some Pokemon Go today... getting closer to two of my eggs hatching. Going to work some more in Salt and Sanctuary and probably play some more Pokemon along with Ever Oasis.


----------------



Been playing a bit of Salt and Sanctuary today along with some Ever Quest, Pokemon Go (worked on hatching another egg and then walked up to a Poke Stop, got some items and ran into a Ralts), Pokemon Gold and Silver (working on soft resetting for a shiny Totodile and a shiny Cyndaquil in them) and a bit of Pokemon Crystal (came in first place in the bug contest today with a Butterfree) along with a bit of Pokemon Ultra Moon.

 

[Owain Taggart]

So, finished playing A Way Out with a friend and it was quite an amazing experience. The end has quite a twist and gut-punch of an ending that we both didn't see coming. I hadn't seen such an emotionally resonant game since The Last of Us. Really well done. It really makes an effective use of the co-op aspect of it, and throws surprises along the way. I'm probably going to end up feeling like this is the best storyline of 2018. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good coop game or overall good experience.

 

[SPCTRE]

still playing Far Cry 5 and still having a very good time, co-op is a blast

performance and visual fidelity on a regular XBONE i.e. non-X is surprisingly good, they did a great job with optimization

I got the God of War platinum sometime last week, so now I've been playing Burnout Paradise remastered. I loved it when I played it on the PS3 and I'm having just as much fun now on the PS4. They did a really good job with the remaster... it looks great and runs at 4K and 60fps.

 

[Random_Spock]

Played some Salt and Sanctuary today along with Pokemon Gold and Silver (soft resetting for shinies) and Pokemon Shuffle along with a bit of Pokemon Go.

I'm still working on Far Cry 5, although I think I'm getting close to done, I've got enough Resistance points to confront Jacob Seed, although I might try to get through the rest of my story missions for his area before I go after him.
I realized a few days ago that I have never played any of the DLC for Assassin's Creed 3, Black Flag or Syndicate, the Last of Us prequel, or the Arkham Knight DCL stuff so I'll probably play through at least some of that before I get my next full game.
