Borderlands: Handsome Collection, Dirt Rally, Upcoming games of May

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (Xbone)
  • Game includes Borderlands 2 and the Prequel will all of the DLC which is a ton of content for $60, I wish it included the original Borderlands though.
  • Playing co-op with Chad, Mitch and his wife and having a ton of fun. 
  • With 4 players the enemies are tougher and the drop are supposedly better but we really haven't seen any great drops until last night.  They have been tweaking the drop rate the past couple of weeks so hopefully it will get better. 
  • Golden Keys are the way we are getting the best weapons and they are derived from Shift codes that Gearbox tweets out every couple of weeks and Mitch has been addicted to using those keys.
  • The game has run pretty smoothly, I do see some textures pop-in when loading new areas but other than that it runs at 60fps and 1080P.  
  • I've had some connection issues though and I'm not sure if it's the game or the Xbox One. The Xbox One multiplayer experience isn't anywhere near the Xbox 360 version which was pretty well perfect, not sure how they messed it up.
  • I did stream a bit of one game to twitch and it's not as easy as streaming on the PS4.  You have to open up the twitch app and then choose a bunch of options and it felt clunky.  On the PS4 you hit a button and it comes up and then you are off, so much easier. 
​Dirt Rally​ (Steam)
  • Out of nowhere this game gets released on Steam Early-Access and I couldn't be more excited.
  • I've always loved the Dirt games and really enjoyed the rally aspect and each version had less and less of those races so I'm glad to see Codemasters developing a game just on those races. 
  • Even though the game is early access there is a ton of content that easily justifies the $30 entry price. 20 cars and 36 tracks.
  • The game is more of a simulation than the other Dirt games so it is much harder and just staying on the road is tough.  It's more like Richard Burns Rally which is a good thing.
  • The FFB needs some work though as you really can't feel the road and other effects. It is early access so they are listening to the community and working on it which is how a great game gets made, listening to your users.  Some users did tweak a FFB .xml file which I used last night and make the game feel much better.
  • I finally hooked up my handbrake to my racing setup and used it for this game and it's awesome, I should have done that sooner. 
  • Racing at night was really awesome until I crashed my car into the side of a mountain and broke my headlights luckily I was almost to the end and made it to the finish in the dark.
Upcoming Games of May
  • Witcher 3 - Can't wait for this game it looks unbelievable. 
  • Project Cars - Pre-ordered and ready to race.
  • Wolfenstein: The Old Blood - Loved the first game.
  • Splatoon - A cool WIiU game.
  • Magika 2 - First game had some cool ideas.
  • Destiny DLC - So excited.   Not.....
  • Dragon Age Inquisition DLC - Need to get back to this game.

Mortal Kombat X, GTA 5 PC, Disc Golf, Bloodborne

Mortal Kombat X
  • The fastest selling Mortal Kombat game in history.
  • The most graphic Mortal Kombat game in history as well, some of the fatalities are way out there.
  • If you liked the last MK game then you will probably like this one as the games are pretty similar.
  • There is a new story campaign that adds quicktime events to some of the cinematics.  I enjoyed the last story campaign and this one is a bit shorter but still very entertaining.
  • The graphics looks sharper and the interactive backgrounds have a ton of detail and moving parts.
  • The Krypt is back which now plays like a first person dungeon crawl.  This is where you unlock fatalities, costumes, brutalities among other things.  I like the way it looks and watch out for wolfs and spiders.
  • They now have living towers which plays like the towers in the old games but adds random elements to each match.  Some are good while others are irritating. 
  • The big new feature is Factions which is basically a meta game where you pick a faction and every match you fight, online or offline adds to your factions point total and you get new things every week if your faction is in the lead. 
  • I had issues with my Mortal Kombat Fight stick on the PC with the last game as it didn't recognize it as a controller so I had  to map it to the keyboard.  The problem is the move list uses the keyboard keys to show you the moves so it took some extra thinking to remember how I had them mapped which was awful.  That is fixed in this version. 
  • So far I'm really enjoying the game, I'm not very good but I'm still trying out new characters to see which one I like the best and then I'll try online just to see how bad I am. 
GTA V PC
  • Not many games do I triple dip on and I probably shouldn't have for this game but I did.
  • I never finished the game on the previous consoles and we'll see if that trend holds up. 
  • The port is actually very good with a ton of graphical options and smooth controller to keyboard transitions.  I need to see if it works with my steering wheel. 
  • After the initial load the loading times are minimal when switching between characters. 
  • The graphics are amazing and detailed especially in FPS mode. The increased frame rate really helps that mode as it feels smoother and not as janky.  
  • They added a new radio station and the ability to use your own music and have the DJ or ads interjecting between songs which is cool.  I did have some slowdown using that feature though, I was using shortcuts to my music drive which could be the issue.
  • They also added a video maker so you have total control of the camera and can add people from the single player game into any scene so there should be some crazy videos coming out of the game.  
  • I knew that I should have waited for the PC version.  It did take over a year after the initial release but they did add a ton of features and graphical updates to make this the definitive version
Disc Golf
  • I think I'm pretty much addicted to the sport at this point as I've been playing at least 2 times a week.
  • I went to my parents house this weekend and spent a couple of hours practicing and probably threw 200 discs during the day. Unfortunately it didn't show when I played yesterday in my loss to Mitch.  
  • I upgraded my discs which are more durable than my starter kit which have all kinds of dings and scratches. 
  • If you've never tried Disc Golf you should give it a chance it's easy to play and good exercise with a chance of frustration. 
Bloodborne
  • Still dying away at Bloodborne.  I think I'm about 3/4 of the way through and a little lost at this point on which way to go. 
  • I've opened up more doors which shows how interconnected the world is and it's impressive. 
  • The patch to improve loading times is coming before the months end but they did not say how much it shortens them.
  • This game is really fun to talk about as there are a lot of secrets to find.  Each person I've talked to has faced different bosses at different times so each experience is a bit different, except the dying one. 
​New Releases​ - Quite a few PC releases but nothing major.  Shovel Knight would be my pick this week with DRAGON: A Game About a Dragon and Tea Party Simulator 2015 as runner ups.

Bloodborne

Bloodborne
  • I didn't get to play as much as I would have liked over the weekend due to yard work, but I finally made some good progress yesterday.
  • I was stuck on this one boss, three enemies actually, that I faced about 10 times and the first 5 I barely got any hit in at all.  
  • I was able to defeat the boss on my second attempt Sunday and then I beat 2 other bosses on the first try so I was feeling good.  
  • I started using the saw blade and then the kirkhammer, now my weapon of choice in the Ludwig sword, that blade is awesome once you've leveled up your character.  I really enjoy the differences between the feel of each weapon and it makes learning the the move sets interesting.  
  • In the later parts of the game there are these bell ringing ladies that will respawn enemies until you take them out which makes the levels pretty tough.  You can hear the bell in the distance and then it's a mad dash to get to her quickly and that usually ends in death.  
  • If you are playing the game then you need to start trying the chalice dungeons, those are dynamic dungeons that have some pretty cool loot inside and some interesting bosses.  You need to start playing the dungeons early on as they don't level to your character so if you wait you will really be overpowered and not challenged.   Also if you run out of potions during a boss fight and are farming areas to replenish them try the chalice dungeons instead.

Bloodborne, Disc Golf, Axiom Verge

Bloodborne
  • It's about all I played this weekend, probably put in around 15 hours and still loving the game. 
  • I've beaten around 8 bosses but only one on the first try and that felt good.  One boss took about 8 trips and when I finally downed them there was much elation. 
  • I'm debating on whether I want to replace my PS4 hard drive as it's almost full and I would like to see how much a hybrid drive speeds up loading times.  500GB is way too small. 
  • There are so many secrets in the game that I did have to visit a wiki and even then the community isn't sure on a lot of things so it's fun to be in on the early game.
  • At one point I noticed that all the enemies were getting stronger and had different move sets also some special enemies would appear in the world.  There is a resource in the world called insight that at first allows you to see a doll that comes to life so that you can upgrade your character.  Other levels do different things in the world and once you gain over 40 then the game gets harder with what I saw in my play through. 
  • I opened my first Chalice dungeon which are the randomly generated dungeons and it was really cool.  There are instances that you may need to farm resources except XP and the chalice dungeons are perfect since they are random. 
  • I'm not sure how far I'm through the game but there are NG+ so you could easily put in hundreds of hours.
Disc Golf (Outside)
  • Yes, I finally did go outside my ManCave and have been playing Disc golf.
  • I was interested in playing for real after playing it on the PS3 in the game Sports Champions which was really fun.
  • I've played two rounds out at Burns Park and I really like it. 
  • Each round takes about an hour to an hour and a half so a round goes by quick.
  • I bought a basic Disc set just to make sure that I would like it and now I think I'll need to buy a better set.
  • The course layout is the hardest part of the game as you really need a guide the first time you play or you will get lost.
  • Mitch has won both rounds so far but I did tie him on the second round and lost on the sudden death hole by about 2 inches.
  • It's a fun and surprisingly popular sport that is easy to play and is relatively cheap.  The courses are free so the only cost is in the discs and you can make that as inexpensive as you want.
  • They actually had a vending machine at the course that let you buy discs from $10 to $30. 
Axiom Verge (PS4)
  • I've only played about an hour but it brings back memories of the original Metroid.
  • The tile set, enemies, and even running to the left to start out will be very familair to Metroid fans.
  • They game is more focused on fighting so there are a ton of weapons and hidden secrets to find.
  • It was made by one person but the games length is around 12-19 hours. 
  • The music is really great as well. 
New Releases - A couple of good ones this week on PS4.  Axiom Verge and The Show.  RBI Baseball makes a return this year as well.

Bloodborne, Pillars of Eternity, Rock Band 4

Bloodborne (PS4)
  • This was one of my most wanted releases and it doesn't disappoint.
  • It's from the developer of Demon/Dark Souls and the game play is similar to those titles with some extra awesome mixed in.
  • It's basically a 3rd person action game where the focus is on combat and exploring with some old school difficulty thrown in.
  • One of the very few games that will have you standing up and cheering once you've beaten that boss that has killed you 10-30 times before.  
  • They've changed up things quite a bit from the previous releases so some strategies will have to be abandoned.
  • Basically there are no shields in the game, so if you are used to standing behind one and chip away at enemies that tactic is gone.  
  • Instead you have a firearm that will stun enemies which allows you to perform critical hits with your main weapon. It kind of works like a shield parry so timing is critical.  I chose the shotgun as my firearm and it's really fun to use.  
  • If you take damage from an enemy you have about 3 seconds to score a hit which will reduce the damage you take.  It encourages you to fight instead of stand back and hide, but that can also get you in trouble.
  • They've reduced the amount of weapons but now they all are unique and each one transforms into something special.  I like the kirkhammer it's a rapier sword that you can insert into this huge cement block and make it a huge crushing blunt weapon.
  • So far I'm really liking the changes to the combat it helps with the fluidity of the action and stops some of the endless circling I used to do.  
  • The enemies are fierce as ever and have patrol patterns now so they aren't always in the same place so there is some strategy in waiting until the best time to engage.  
  • I've put in about 10 hours and have barely scratched the surface.  
  • I've beaten three cool bosses so far and I've died 4 times on the current one I'm battling.  I have found that it's easier to just run through areas than before so you just skip most of the enemies if there is a specific place you want to travel to.  
  • The only drawback to the game is the load times.  They are atrocious.  Every time you die it takes about 30-40 seconds to reload and they only show a splash screen of the logo so it's a double whammy.  They are looking into a patch to decrease them but it's a major oversight to a game where you will die repeatedly and quickly.  I guess the answer is to Suck less.
  • If you liked the other games then there is no doubt you will love this game, if you are on the fence it's not any easier than the other games.  
  • I'm sure I'll be writing about this game for weeks to come.
Pillars of Eternity (Steam)

  • Another huge release, I don't have enough time!!!!!!!  
  • This feels like Baldur's Gate 3, which should be all I need to say.  Go buy it.  

  • I only got to play for about an hour which is about part ways through the tutorial, it brought back memories of playing the older games.  
  • They recreated the Infinity engine so it looks similar to the other games but there are of course tons of additions.  My favorite is how far you can zoom in on the action, you can get extremely close and it all looks great.
  • It works on my 1440P monitor and 21:9 aspect ratio which is awesome.  
Rock Band 4
  • I'm so glad this is being released and they are going to be able to transfer 95% of the DLC to the new version.
  • They are focusing on more of the experience now instead of the pro instruments.  Pro drums still exist but gone are the pro guitar and keyboard which I think is a good decision.  
  • I want better ways to play and compete with my friends.  Easier ways to setup play lists and arrange my songs.  
  • RB 3 was great but there were quite a few shortcoming that I hope will be fixed in RB4.  I can't wait to hear more about the game.

F.E.A.R 3, Better Call Saul, Reddit ManCave Post

F.E.A.R. 3
  • Playing through the campaign Co-op with Angel and it's been really fun and interesting.
  • I originally played the game when it first came and out and enjoyed it but never got around to trying the co-op.
  • The whole campaign was actually build with co-op in mind and it's fun playing the ghost like brother.
  • The brother can possess people and take their form which allows him to use weapons and when an enemy dies he leaves behind a blood stain that you can pick up that lengthens the amount of time you can stay possessed.
  • When not possessing you can shield your brother or hold enemies in the air.   It all works very well.
  • Each time you possess someone he performs this menacing laugh that sounds awesome. 
  • You do get to control Mechs in the game that are a lot of fun to control.
  • I wish they would come out with a 4th game as I really like this series.
Better Call Saul
  • This show is amazing even if you've never watched Breaking Bad you should be watching this show. 
  • The locations do remind me of Breaking Bad and the cameos are a nice touch but this show stands on it's own.
  • The writing and acting is phenomenal, this isn't a comedy but each episode has had me laughing throughout. 
  • I just hate that I have to wait a week to watch the next episode.
Reddit

I put together photos from my Mancave and posted them to reddit and the comments have been really entertaining.

Seattle, Final Fantasy Threatrythm, Hotline Miami 2, Ori and the Blind Forest

Seattle
  • I've always wanted to visit Seattle and I was there last week for a conference and I was a bit disappointed.
  • I've never seen so many homeless people on the streets they were everywhere and always asking for money.
  • The streets were also filled with young people loitering around who were all high since pot is legal in the city.  I've been to New York and Philly and it was noticeably worse in Seattle than both of those cities.  One person was some people shooting up with needles on the street during the day.    
  • The weather was a little cold since there is a constant breeze but it never rained once so the weather was a lot nicer than here.
  • The food was good but very expensive, I probably spent around $80 for each dinner for 2 people.
  • I bought a city pass for $64 that let us in to most of the attractions, the space needle, the EMP museum, and the Chihuly exhibit were cool to visit.  I recommend getting that pass if you plan on visiting as it allows you to bypass ticket lines which could be quite long.  
Final Fantasy Threatrythm: Curtain Call (3DS)
  • A music rhythm game kind of like Elite Beat Agents but with Final Fantasy music.  
  • The game play is basically tapping the screen with different variants that correspond to the beat of the music.
  • The music is awesome and the songs are from every Final Fantasy Game.  There are over 220 songs in the game and  I've only unlocked 65 after 8 hours of playtime.  I haven't played one song that I didn't like.  
  • When you play a song you pick 4 characters that have different abilities that are fighting enemies as the song progresses and when you hit the beats you land your attacks and if you miss then the enemy attacks which reduces your HP meter.  Each song has it's own background theme so it keeps things interesting.
  • The game has a ton of content.  From unlocking songs, characters, and even sound effects the game is constantly rewarding you for playing.  
  • I've really enjoyed the game so far and it's easy to play a couple of songs before I go to bed.
  • I highly recommend this game to anyone that likes Final Fantasy or good music.
Hotline Miami 2 (Steam)
  • I really liked the first game even though it was very brutal. The music was awesome especially with a good sound system and it really added to the experience.  
  • I still listen to the soundtrack.
  • This game is basically a continuation of the first game and I'm fine with that. There wasn't much that needed changing.
  • They have added new masks that give you different abilities and I think there is dual wielding.
  • In the first game if you used a gun then almost all enemies heard the shots and came for you in this one just those in the surrounding rooms hear the shots so guns are more useful.  
Ori and the Blind Forest - Steam
  • Probably the best looking 2D game that I've played.  Each tree or blade of grass is painted separately they didn't use any repeated textures and it looks amazing.
  • The game plays in the style of Metroid where you have areas that you can't reach until you open up different abilities.
  • The platforming and combat is pretty standard but how you save is unique.  Of course there are tons of things to collect, but one of them allows you to create your own save points which adds some strategy to the game.  There are hard saves at the end of levels but during the level you must decide where to save and there have been a couple of times that I extended myself too far and died before saving.
  • For $15 it's definitely worth it.

New Releases - A ton of new releases this week.  Hotline Miami 2, Ori and the Blind Forest my top picks.
