But I LOOOOOOVED lockpocking. Even if the result was butt, it was enjoyable.

I need a dialing wand for my phone, apparently.

Nil? Yeah, he pops up again before the last bandit camp you encounter. He's… interesting.

I may have come across harsh towards it, but I really enjoyed The Witcher 3. Great character depth, beautiful scenery, intriguing story. But they could have trimmed 80% of the side quests and tightened the game up. I highly recommend The Witcher 3; however, I will warn them it is very long and you start to feel it…

They really are. This is parrallel thinking, if I've ever seen it.

HZD came out a week before BotW, Therefore, BotW is a HZD rip-off.
[sets fire to internet]

It's not bad, but it's not good either. If it had another two years to develop, it might have been something special. The bones are there, but I'd say it's a C+ game at best.

Horizon Zero Dawn gets my vote for best of 2017 (so far). I know from Game in Progress that Clayton Purdom really did not care for it and compared to another open world, action RPG (The Witcher 3), but I was a little surprised none of the other staff had left it off.

^This. My biggest problem is the MOAR CONTENT bloat in the game. I'm about 30 hours in and am nowhere near the end. They should've streamlined it and made it 40-50 hours max, like the originals.

Garrus' goodbye during that scene choked me up.

I landed on a new planet and within 5 minutes I got no less than a dozen side quests. So, you should have fun.

I would recommend that everyone play Dark Souls be cause it is an amazing game. Playing that before Bloodborne is a difficult choice because Bloodborne is so much faster than Dark Souls, but playing Dark Souls would definitely give you and idea of what you're getting yourself into.

Here are games I recommend for PS4 other than the ones you mentioned (not necessarily PS4 exclusive):

Horizon: Zero Dawn is a slow burn, but once you get into the meat of the story it's pretty cool. Also, Aloy is a badass.

So, I'm getting fairly far along in Mass Effect: Andromeda and here is my assessment:

That is a hell of an anecdote!

I love the tile design in this game, but I am resigned to the fact that I will never see the last one in person.

I know they stopped in 2014, but I figured someone had to be keeping count for old time's sake.

Anybody happen to keep track and have a Murder Report from E3?

Windjammers sounds awesome! Would it be a good party game? Can you play it slightly inebriated?
