I bought this game blind and was upset about how it was just drawing lines, but grew to absolutely love it. It's such a great game, and really ended up being what I needed.

Have you ever played Star Wars: KOTOR or any other Dragon Age games?
It's quite a bit like that.
Feel free to check out some gameplay on youtube. EDIT: I guess I should clarify that the combat really isn't that great. There's more of a focus on tactics than any real skill here.
Though my personal suggestion would be to grab the GOTY edition since it includes DLC that's not unlike the Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3 in that it offers more of a bonding moment for the cast, and it expands upon the ending a bit more. But it's up to you.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
If you liked the first you will LOVE Dishonored 2. The level design and world building is so fucking good. I beat the game a few days ago and immediately started a second playthrough because it was so damn good and a joy to play. It basically improves upon the first in every way and the levels and places you visit are so memorable. A huge recommendation from me. I didnt finish the first games DLC either but apparently it just adds more back story about some characters lile Delilah.
Dishonored 2 is seriously a very well designed game. Theres so much to explore and discover in every nook and cranny. Phenomenal game.
Titanfall 2 by far.
Leifthrasir is one of the best remakes ever and improves upon the original in every way. If you like action RPGs with good combat you'll love it.

Titanfall 2
I usually do. Forgot it this time. I can't edit it myself.

Combat is "worse" than both.
As in, it doesn't require a lot of input depending on what class. It's not an action rpg. It's a lot like FF12 I'd say. Or even Diablo 3. And KoToR. You can run around and block and stuff, but it's still somewhat turn based.
If you're going to play DA:I you're going to play it for all the rpg stuff, not for the combat. Pretty much the same reason you'd play Witcher 3.
Don't go looking for Souls combat here.
Look it up on YouTube. It should give you a good idea what it's like.

Wow. Not even one mention of the BF1 campaign. I hope it truly is as good as you guys are saying.

Thanks, that's pretty much all I needed to hear
I've been really excited for this game but got busy with life stuff and just decided to go on a full blackout for this game until it went on sale or something.
Great to hear. I've seen a couple minutes footage and understand that it's just a line puzzle game.
Thing is I don't recall ever playing a game like that and it's something we can play with the kids around without scarring them for life lol
Plus I'm a huge fan of hdr. Going to boot it up now while my girl is asleep on me

Only thing that tempts me is NHL 17. I'd like to have the latest, but honestly 16 is doing pretty well for me. Other than roster updates, is there a reason to buy in to 17? I pretty much play Be A GM exclusively, if that matters.

Kind of annoyed that I bought Dirt Rally before today since it seemed like the sale for the VR debut would end today, but oh well.

preferred talos principle myself, both puzzle-wise & atmosphere-wise. for all its warm graphics, witness can be a very chilly intellectual excercise
...P3 FES as a PS2 Classic on PS3. Excellent game but going P4 to P3 would feel weird.
Titanfall 2 has a fantastic campaign, easily the most fun campaign shooter in a good, long while.
Battlefield 1 has five story vignettes (and a prologue) that aren't connected. They are quite good, and look insanely gorgeous, but if I had to choose between Titanfall and Battlefield, it's Titanfall.

Is MGSV: The Definitive Experience worth its Plus price? Or would I be ashamed of my words and deeds?
It's a very good campaign with arguably the most creative level found in any game last year. That said, it is slightly overrated.
Yes, it's the biggest upgrade in terms content this generation of NHL franchise. Gameplay is better, more game modes, franchise mode and eashl is a lot deeper and more customization and options. HUT is better too.

Yeah thanks, I'm gonna go with that I've had my eye on it for years it seems.

BF1 campaign is really mediocre and downright generic at some parts. But regarding TF2, don't go into the campaign expecting an amazing story. The reason everyone is hyping it up is because of the amazing gameplay and level design.

If you have PS+ and you didn't nab Ground Zeroes the month it was a free download, then go for it I suppose. Otherwise look for Phantom Pain on the cheap maybe? It's not like the MGO DLC is crucial to Phantom Pain itself unless you will go for MGO.

Ah, seems like I should look elsewhere. I love RPGs but not these types. Thanks for the info.

Those all sound great, but I have no interest in HUT or random modes, typically. What new modes are interesting, and how is the gameplay better?

There are quite a few that found it disappointing, but I enjoyed it. It can feel a little heavy on fetch-like quests, but only if you get lost in the weeds doing those rather than focus on the more meatier parts of the game. I really liked the game, it's certainly not the best Bioware game and has its faults, but for the price the standalone game is right now, well worth the price!

No. I havent played the second game yet,but the dlc is suposed to change pretty much everything. Seriously, the impact the history of the dlc is suposed to have is huge

Did you like TR 2013? If so yes, it's more of that good stuff. I loved it personally but I know some people didn't like TR 2013 too much.
You need to play the whole thing to even reach Blood and Wine I think.
But you should play the whole thing regardless. It's the most value you'll get in a video game for $25 in a long time.
I hated it honestly. 2013 is better. Its basically more of the same but worse with a worse story. It isnt a terrible game but it was just a drag to get through imo.
I am thinking about getting Mortal Kombat XL at that price. $20 is the lowest I think I have seen it.

Well from what I know the first DLC explores Daud's past and why he did what he did and the second DLC is supposed to focus on Delilah who takes centre stage in D2.
As a huge fan of Dishonored 1 and 2, I have no excuse tho. I should play them ASAP.
Ahh didn't realize blood and wine was an expansion. Doh!
You need to play up to the point where Dandelion has been freed in order to pickup and access the B&W quest.

Thank you amigo! I will consider it then.
This is a really good sale week IMO, esp coupled with the spend $100/get $15 promo. I had talked shit earlier that Sony sandbags sales during those promos but happy they made me eat crow.
Picked up DOOM, Persona and Persona 2, Severed and Darkest Dungeon all for a bit over $60. Combine that with a Horizon pre-order and I get my $15 back.

I haven't played 16 in a while but from what I remember the stick checking was improved, skating and defending is improved, less cheesy goals allowed by the goalie.
