Even if the execution had been solid, the whole "play as Godzilla" concept seems pretty limited, anyway. It would make more sense to create a game where you play as a human for the majority of the campaign (collecting your collectibles and doing the sort of thankless work that humans do in Godzilla movies), and maybe…

Hmmmm. I'm level 12, so… we'll see what happens, I guess. Haven't done one before.

Solas likes Solas.

I'm gonna have to give Rocket League a try - not really a sports game person, but this seems like it might be a lot of fun. Plus, it's free on PS+ right now, so that helps.

I've been a mage in every Dragon Age game (a human mage, admittedly), and yeah, having magical abilities really does seem to alter the way people treat you a great deal. I do want to go back and play through those games as an elf, though.

I keep almost buying ESO because I really want another Elder Scrolls game, but I know that what I *actually* want is Elder Scrolls 6. Must… resist… temptation…

I've gotten back into SPLATOON this week, so I'll probably be doing some of that this weekend. I have four or five levels left in the single player campaign, and I'm up to level 12 in multiplayer. I feel like I'm finally getting pretty good at this game, and it's been fun to watch other players in the hopes of picking…

If you ever make it to the states, there are TV/film jobs springing up left and right here in Georgia. A whole bunch of stuff being shot here thanks to attractive tax breaks and a new American branch of Pinewood Studios.

Hope things turn around for you soon. Sounds like a good summer, though.

Thumbs up for Ni No Kuni! I really liked that game, despite its many imperfections. A great cast of characters, some gorgeous visuals, and holy moly, those hand-drawn cutscenes. Don't know if I could replay it because the actual "video game" parts of it have some serious issues, but I'm quite glad I took that journey.

This is usually where I end up. After the campaign is finished, I usually end up losing motivation to run errands pretty quickly. If the collecting activity is enjoyable or if the trophies are easily attainable, I'll keep going, but once both of those elements slip away I tend to duck out and start something else.

I don't know that I have a definitive favorite summer game, but The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker might be up there. Much of it feels like a relaxing summer vacation of a game.

Now that I think about it, a Batman point-and-click adventure game could be great.

There's a part of me that feels like the perfect Arkham game has yet to be made - something that combines the narrative focus of Asylum, the technical polish of Knight, the awesome boss fights of Origins (what?) and the Batmobile-less freedom of City. However, that feeling mostly serves as a reminder that all of these…

"I expect some will do as I did and bounce from one opinion to the other as the game’s joys ebb and flow, end up somewhere in the middle, and start fantasizing about the next inevitable reboot."

A friend of mine and I did some co-op through some of them, and yeah, the whole process got a little exhausting after a while. I really wish that they had either allowed players to maintain a consistent connection in the chalice dungeons OR let both players make progress simultaneously.

It's a close call between BLOODBORNE and THE WITCHER 3. Enjoyed both for very different reasons, though I suppose I have to give the edge to Bloodborne for A) sinking its hooks into me to a degree that only SOULS games are capable of and B) fully realizing its potential in almost every area. It's a…

Yeah, it was.

Super Mario 3D World is so much fun. For all the flack the Wii U gets, I'm pretty sure it has a bigger collection of genuinely terrific titles at this point than the Wii has.

Speaking of awkward Hawke situations - the preset info I had entered before starting the game got screwed up somehow, and my Lady Hawke was unexpectedly replaced with Dude Hawk. This was frustrating, but I just pretended that Hawke had made some surprising, important discoveries about himself in intervening years.
