Just finished Splinter Cell Conviction. Different than the rest in the series previous but I really enjoyed it.
On to the last in the series - Splinter Cell Blacklist.

Shadow of the Colossus on PS4.
WOW! What a great job on that remake! It looks fantastic and controls much better than the original! One of my favorite games of all time. It's great to revisit this world in shiny HDR!

Even though I own it on PS4, I re-purchased Outlast on the Switch and have been playing it daily. I was never able to get past the first quest on the PS4, so it’s all new to me. The Switch being portable allows me to play while the kids are watching their toons 
Does it count if I’m not actually playing? I’m sitting next to my son who’s playing Sea of Thieves.
Fired up Minecraft today, thinking of doing a sudoku later. I guess you could say I’m a serious gamer.
I finished the first play though of Nier, not a bad game, though its not that long. I was surprised when I got to the boss level and finished it. I understand you get to play it through another 2 times for slightly different experiences. On my first playthough I deferred some of the side quests only to see them locked out because I was near the end of the game, so I'm playing through again on tract A, just redo things I missed. Plus I have a better understanding of the chips/skills so I've customized my charachter better.
Finished up a replay of 2016 DOOM on new PC last night. Still awesome the second time around. Looks great on Ultra settings as well.
Picked up Far Cry 5 - playing it co-op with my wife, good fun but their servers need some work - side note, I sure do miss the ability to LAN party instead of having to go through a server.
My life partner recently bought a Nintendo Switch and they're currently hours deep into Zelda on it. Watching them play reminded me how much I adored that game on my Wii U so I too picked up the Switch version. In the evenings I snuggle into bed with Link's awakening on the 3DS.... Zelda all around!

I played through Doom at launch on PS4 and it was quite something!!! On a whim I bought it for my Switch as well during the recent e-Shop sale expecting to have a bad time. So the look on my face when I had a very GOOD time! The motion aiming provided me with a realization that actually motion aiming is a good thing! Big movements on the analogue stick and aim tweakings via motion works so so so well.Finished up a replay of 2016 DOOM on new PC last night. Still awesome the second time around. Looks great on Ultra settings as well.
I bought the VR version of Doom in an Easter sale. It hasn't turned up yet but I'm looking forward to it!
I see a retailer selling it for $420. Is that good? I don't follow xbox pricing.None as i sold my OG XB and XB1S in anticipation of an XB1X deal coming along....still no deal yet.
I miss video games.
Its ok but I have been reading about that seller and how they use 3rd party sellers. I am wary of that probably more than I should be but being patient for the right deal is fine.
Just miss some games!
Started God of War 4 last night. It's much more RPG than I expected, in a good way. I completed Bloodborne a while back and it's similar to that but not as brutal (punishing to the player).
I'm actually trying to complete Bloodborne myself at the moment. I haven't gotten very far, though, due to time constraints and my tendency to die... a lot. I have a fair bit of experience with the Soulsborne games, but the aforementioned constraints on time have been in effect for a little while now, and I'm no longer as l33t as a I used to be.
God of War seems to be getting a lot of positive press. I'm also surprised to hear that it has a lot of RPG elements, as I assumed it would be pretty much a straight up brawler like its predecessors. Despite being a complete RPG nerd, though, I can't say that it appeals to me very much... For whatever reason, I can't really get enthused about most games developed by US/CAN/EU studios... Something about the storylines and characters just doesn't appeal to me, whereas I never really tire of the Final Fantasies or Metal Gear Solids and the like. Maybe I just like convolution
Pretty massive exceptions to this rule, though, are the Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, but I think that has more to do with their open world/sandbox-y nature than being all that engrossed by their storylines.

As for what I'm playing at the moment, well, I've been trying to finish Persona 5 for an age... But my hatred for menu-driven/turn-based combat means I can only play it in fits and starts. Other than that, Bloodborne is something I'm taking small bites out of, and I'm also continuing to slowly clear out Final Fantasy XV's end-game content. Oh, and I'm making my way through the Morrowind expansion for Elder Scrolls Online, but that's another game where I don't enjoy the combat at all---mainly due to the weak animations, and the horrendous lag I experience as an Aussie player.
