Not really, and I like stealthy games, almost always choose the stealth playthrough option when playing any game like Metal Gear or Deus Ex. It just never grabbed me, I met a blind oracle type beggar queen and was about to go run her mission when I just bagged it and haven't returned.

Man, people really, really like The Witcher 3. I played about three hours worth of 2, but just couldn't get a hold of the combat (Several other fan reviews seem to have the same issue, and it sounds like the third one simplifies combat to keep players like me going instead of ditching).

A few reviews mentioned the complicated item system. Bingo! I am an enormous video game hoarder - gotta catch em all! I am considering Elder Scrolls Online as well, to get my ps4 hoardin' into full swing.

I think it's called "Castle Storm" it was free last month on the One. Anyway, I love that game. It's a castle defense type game and I can't put it down.

I'm finally trying "FTL". It's a fun game, but it's really bloody hard. I've even checked a few online hint and tip guides, and it's not like I'm doing anything grossly wrong, but I've yet to have a game reach half an hour.

Massive Chalice is free this month on the One. I played it about an hour last night. It's pretty fun.

Same. Red Dead 2, this, or a new Elder Scrolls would motivate me. Or something else good along those lines.

Very glad the sky is not a constant greenish gray-brown in 4.
