I played about an hour of The Last Of Us on the living room TV, and that was quite enough of that for me.

So I saw an article early where Retro Studios was talking about their original plan for Metroid Prime 3.

It was meant to be a large open world kind of thing... And then they got the Wii specs and realized it wasn't happening.

Makes me sad because that would have been amazing. It's good as it is, but could've been so much cooler.

I am really hoping MP4 ends up being open world. Basically a Metroid version of BOTW.

I preordered it. Might be awhile until I can get into it though. I'm already overloaded on games atm.

I didn't particularly love the remake of M2 and Other M I would prefer to forget altogether, so I am hoping this will finally be another good 2D Metroid.

A lot of hate for BF2042 on reddit, but I enjoyed it. Things I hate, class specialists, the UI, and other small things - but it's a day one purchase for me on the account of it being a pretty good modern shooter.

I don't think I've played any games except original, snes and GameCube (is that prime?) Reviews definitely have high praise for this as one of the best 2D Metroid games.

I need to play more I think and figure out the deployments. I end up deploying far away from any action so most of the game is spent running/driving to engage and then dying almost immediately. It's not very fun.

I don't know what to say outside of, flick around a bunch before you spawn to see where you're going to drop in, lol.

I haven't played multiplayer anything since UT2K (PC), and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

The GBA games are pretty good. Fusion and Zero Mission.

Dread is basically the sequel to Fusion. ZM is a remake of the original. It goes well beyond just a new coat of paint.

I recommend playing them if you are able.

Prime is indeed the GC game. One of my favorite games of all time and I go back and forth between that and Super Metroid for my favorite.

Prime 2 and 3 are also very good. Worth playing if you still have the means to do so... Or wait and hope they release the Prime Trilogy on Switch as has been rumored. I am really hoping for that too.

Played a few online versus games. It's the first NHL in years that actually feels different thanks to the "new" engine. They've also severely nerfed blind passes and cross creases, which is good. I'm finding new ways to score. It'll only be a matter of time before the new cheese goals are discovered but until then, I'm enjoying the variety.

I saw a clip in which it looked like there was a pet gator involved in this. I have no idea what far cry is about, but that clip was interesting

Heard if you liked FarCry 1-5, 6 is the same. Which is kind of a bummer I guess.

The intro has a disclosure that warns of topics like mass murder and animal cruelty. There's apparently a cockfighting mini-game that plays like Street Fighter, but with poultry.

Started a be a pro and was drafted by Seattle. Played one game and got a goal and an assist. After the game get an interview with a reporter asking if I’m excited to have the most assists in franchise history. Cheeky.

Saw this custom BMW elsewhere, and it looks straight out of Mass Effect.
