Yeah, I did that. A lovely final moment.

Honestly, The Witcher 3 (including the two expansions) is probably my favorite gaming experience on the PS4 thus far. Just a remarkable achievement on so many levels. Yes, I'm very excited about Cyberpunk 2077. Who knows how long it'll be before it's finished, but hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

I finished THE WITCHER: BLOOD & WINE, which was excellent. The final few hours of main story were particularly compelling (that fairy tale mission was both amusingly demented on the surface and heartbreaking on a deeper level), and I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized I had managed to pull off something of a…

No, I played HoS on Blood and Broken Bones. Truthfully, I haven't found anything in B&W quite as difficult as the hardest parts of HoS. But it may be a different story on Death March.

I've definitely been feeling the bittersweet vibe. Hopefully the main quest will turn out okay, though I have no real indication of whether or not I'm making wise decisions so far. I did pretty well overall in the main game (and got a basically happy ending), and a part of me wants to do a second playthrough as a more…

I've been playing THE WITCHER: BLOOD & WINE, and I imagine I'll continue to do so this weekend. I've already put maybe 17-20 hours into it, and it seems like there's still a pretty good bit of content left. It really does feel closer to a brand-new Witcher game than a mere expansion. B&W is to Witcher 3 what…

I finished THE WITCHER: HEARTS OF STONE, which I enjoyed quite a bit… and so, I immediately jumped into THE WITCHER: BLOOD AND WINE, which is what I'll be playing this weekend. Admittedly, the transition was initially a bit jarring. Despite containing an extended sequence in which Geralt is possessed by a horny ghost,…

I saw First Aid Kit perform at Bonnaroo in 2014 and fell in love with them after hearing their cover of Paul Simon's "America" and "My Silver Lining" back-to-back. A very pleasant surprise to hear the latter turn up at the end.

I finished TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS, which turned out to be the best Telltale game I've played by a pretty wide margin (and maybe the best Borderlands game too, for that matter). Funny and clever all the way through, but I was surprised by how moving the final episode was… that James Blake-scored opening credits…

Yeah, I'm still trying to get a feel for the new map - it's been trickier to learn the ins and outs of this place than some of the others. Easy to take a wrong turn in that place.

That sounds appealing enough that I'll probably pick it up when I can get it for a discount.

I used snipers to take out the distant crystals, shock troopers to take out the ones that were placed right in front of me, used smoke bombs to let my troops get close to the boss and then fired at his head. It took me a couple of tries (the first time, I didn't realize that failing to deactivate all of the crystals…

I polished off VALKYRIA CHRONICLES REMASTERED, which I quite enjoyed overall. I finished with all of my characters around level 14-15, which I'm told means that I am both pretty good and pretty bad at this game.

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up! Yeah, Largo is definitely my go-to Lancer for that very reason.

I really don't use Engineers and Snipers much at all. There have been a couple of missions for each where their specific talents have come in really handy, but scouts and shock troopers have definitely been my go-to units (with lancers being called in whenever there are enemy tanks on the map). The greatest…

Different approaches work better for different players, but I find that going for a balanced build - something pretty close to the default Mario option - works best for me. I tend to crash a lot with high speed/low control builds, and find that the precision required to overcome the limitations of a tight control/low…

I'll be continuing (and hopefully finishing) VALKYRIA CHRONICLES REMASTERED. About to start the second mission of Chapter 15, and still finding the game a fair challenge at this point. I haven't really done any serious grinding - I've played each of the skirmish missions I've unlocked once so far - but I haven't yet…

I'll be continuing to play VALKYRIA CHRONICLES REMASTERED. Just finished Chapter 12, and the game has continued to offer tough-but-fair challenges as I've progressed (though nothing has been as ferociously challenging as that giant tank battle mission in Chapter 7). Just got my scouts and shock troops up to a higher…

Appreciate the heads-up. I've only played each of the skirmishes I've unlocked once so far, so I'll definitely do a bit of grinding there after I've finished this current mission.

There are a ton of characters you can "draft" in VC, but so far you can only have twenty on your roster at any given time (each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses). The good thing is that all of your character classes (scouts, engineers, etc.) level together, so you don't have to worry about making sure…
