Are you not interested in any of the newest titles announced at E3? Open World Zelda, Xenoblade Chronicles sequel etc. etc.

yeah, a little bit, but it's nothing i couldn't pick up later. there's no communities to miss out on if i don't play those right away either(unless xeno is multi-player). i have a guaranteed shot at a ps4 right now, and i might not get that again until tax refund season if i'm lucky. right now my ps4 hopes hang in the balance of my bonus at work, which the next one is basically down to nothing already. so i have one bonus to bank on, and a good discount coupon upcoming that's only valid for 2 days not long after black friday. so the store might not even have any in stock at the time.

That Xenoblade sequel looks terrible compared to the first. That was single handedly going to be the one game that got me to purchase a WiiU when it released and since the trailer I've lost any interest in it completely.

 
Finally started playing Watch Dogs. It's pretty good so far. I keep getting distracted by the side missions and I don't see myself completing the campaign for awhile.

Honestly, I've only played 7 hours of the first Xenoblade on the Wii. I can't really say that I'd play the sequel. and I've heard that it takes 15-20hrs to start getting "Good" in terms of story. I'd have to say that I still enjoy The Last Story the most. My biggest gripe for Xenoblade would have to be the generic "Find me 30 Bear Pelts" or "Kill 20 of these so I'll feel better" quests. At least it notifies you that you've completed the quest so you don't have to go back to the quest giver. I haven't really touched Xenoblade since but I know that The Last Story piqued my interest from the get-go while Xenoblade hasn't. The combat in The Last Story also makes me wish it was the same. Maybe it gets better via combat if I play it more?

I went in expecting a completely mediocre experience and ended up enjoying it far more than I'd expected. The online invading and hacking is what kept sidetracking me. I had to force my way through the campaign which definitely drops in quality the further in you go after chapter 2, but dat online component Mmm. Its such a refreshing experience with nothing else like it and can really get your heart racing. Far more engaging than just shooting people mindlessly again (though they have that too if you really need it). There's so many diverse tactics I've seen and experienced too. Cant get enough. While the story was a let down I did find the side missions far more enjoyable than in GTA, its just unfortunate there isn't as much to do or simply screw around with in the open world.

Too bad Neymar isn't there to call in some dolphins for him to throw or something.

I think the German side has just backed off because they know they're hotel will be burnt to the ground tonight if they keep piling on.

Has anyone played Vessel yet? I still need to finish Strider, Vessel and get into Doki universe and I'll have completed all the PS+ games for the month.

 
This WC game spoiled itself.

I've only played borderlands classic (on pc), and I only make it to like the third or fourth mission every time. not sure what my problem is. I hope to take it for a spin on ps3 someday, but I also hope to take up mountain climbing and those two things are unlikely in equal parts.

I've said it before, but BL2 is heads and shoulders above BL. It feels robust, complete, and developed where BL felt like unfinished bare bones potential.

I liked this, but since it was so spot on I had to quote it too.

Now, if you just play Just Cause 2 for the story, you will be done in seemingly no time at all. The story pretty much sucks too. Going around that gigantic environment and blowing shit up is where the fun is. I think it is the most underrated sandbox game of the generation.

Just Cause 2 is the best sandbox game of the generation and also one of the best of last generation. I've spent over 70 hours in that game and haven't touched the story missions at all, as they're not the main part of that game. Waiting for Just Cause 3 to be announced has annoying of late.

 
While I want Germany to win the whole thing it is a bit of a shame that it's not Argentina doing this to Brazil for that extra pound of salt in the wounds.

 
Alright, I'm on my way to look at used cars.  If by chance I murder someone tonight and I'm sent off to prison, I've made arrangements for my PS4 to be broken into a million pieces and sent to Stotch. 

As for the rest of my collection, it's up for grabs between all of you.  It will be a treasure hunt... first one to find the loot wins! 

ProTip:  Watch out for [customspoiler='booby traps']

I wonder who they murder first, Germany or their own Brazilean team.

Well their President is almost certainly going to lose the election. She basically put her whole political future on Brazil winning the World Cup at home.

What are you going to do if I get anything good... someone said they got GTA V for free... Guess all PS3 and Xbox 360 games are a part of the promotion.

Congratulate you? There isn't one around here or I would go look.

What happens when all the people that remained in the other PSN thread get out of hand and then make their own off topic thread? It will be madness.

All the irregulars come out of the woodwork when the regulars leave, since apparently they're scared to post with them around (likely for fear of being ridiculed for stupid questions). The same thing happened when Jay and Tyler were banned.
 
I've gotta say, I still find the occasional "Off-Topicness" in the old thread pretty funny. Let's all rage against the regulars, but we'll pretty much do what they did from time to time. Even though I'm not the much of a regular but my point still stands. I guess it only counts if it's pages upon pages of nonsense?
