I'm more open to the indie titles. They're the main reason why I've taken to playing games so much these days/this PlayStation gen. I've played more games this year than maybe any year before. So much more variety I missed with the PS3 generation.

After the witcher 3 my favourite game last year was Axiom Verge, a metroid throwback made by 1 guy over 5 years. I loved Her Story just as much, even tho it's not a ps4 game.
My favourite game over the past few months was Velocity 2x, an old school shoot em up from 2014. Soma wasn't far behind & another GOTY contender - something I enjoyed far more than the comparable Alien: Isolation. I played it a few weeks ago & loved it. Another one I loved from earlier in the year was Apotheon. & Rocket League came from nowhere. Both on ps+.. I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.
But yea I cant speak highly enough of Axiom Verge & Her Story.

I haven't really been blown away by any other AAA this past year other than the witcher 3, Driveclub & mass effect 2. Drake was p good too, but 2 of that bunch are last gen. A few more were ok & a few really dragged/disappointed.

That's not to say there weren't a few clunkers in the indie games I played. Everybody's gone to the rapture was particularly brutal. There was another one around that time as well stunk but rapture was really bad. But seriously for every crap one there's a handful of magic ones like Thomas was alone or super meat boy.

What'd you rather play, rocket league or Star Wars battlefront?

Looking forward to no mans sky & rime as much as I am drake 4/last guardian.

Tho that's not to say the witness won't be shit. It didn't look great from the 15mins I got to play it tho..
It was revealed & meant to be a launch window game & I think the reviewers are covering themselves having maybe missed out of the developers previous game becoming a cult hit, which would maybe explain the hype.

Still going to be playing gtao later.

It's not just GnR. This is part of the model now for arena/stadium headliners. Corporate rock won.
Ideally you'd like to think a band like GnR would appreciate the financial constraints of some of their fans but that's long since stopped being an issue. They'd prob cite their professional value but by the same token if that's the approach they take then by its very virtue it devalues the atmosphere - not that they should be doing the show for free, just some of the prices are totally extreme & exorbitant.

Reminds me a bit of that against me reinventing axl rose song..
Axl has always fought for himself, & his idea of what GnR is & deserves. But he's NEVER stood up for the fans.

Most draw their power from the hdmi lead HOWEVER I have read of a few that don't work or stop working with PS3/4's. But in general they seem to work much like anything else you'd be plugging in.

Going to do some gtao this evening.

Do you have any brothers?

Uh.. The same dynamic as in the 90's is kinda the problem.

Axl has shared the stage with people he hates for $$$ before..

I don't think James & I are predicting doom & gloom & another meltdown, we're just saying that we just don't know the lay of the land for all the positive speculation. & the people reading an especially close relationship between the two are very possibly misguided & possibly always have been: you don't have to like someone to work with them - particularly if fate has thrown you together & you've stumbled on a successful formula then it's a bit more worthwhile enduring that other persons company to a point. This could end up a case of history repeating itself..

I loved the hateful 8
Really disliked the revenant

Enjoyed the hateful 8 more than any Tarantino film since KB1. I still haven't finished Django Unchained, but this one just killed me. It wasn't perfect - the violence was a bit too cartoony for a western & some of the jokes fell flat, but that aside i loved it. I'm a sucker for those corbucci/Leone westerns & he nailed it, even if indoors almost the entire time, while putting his own twist to it. Thought it was brilliant.
Kurt Russell's on a roll w/this & Bone Tomahawk.

Yea Creed I couldn get into at all. I thought it was going to be a rocky film but i really wasn't the intended audience, wasn't for me. More a reboot. My mate wanted to leave after the run with the boys on the bikes. Bit too cheesy.

I finally saw that ex Machina. It was ok, always like Alex garlands work so thought I'd enjoy it. Left a load of unanswered questions tho.. Decent sci-if all the same.

Oh I did Steve jobs too. It was p repetitive & mundane character drama. I fell asleep during it.
