Spiderman has got some good reviews, IGN gave it an 8.7 and Gamespot a 9.0.
Worth playing for sure. Tomb Raider just around the corner.
But I'll be occupied with FO4 and also I have college courses that will take up most of my free time.
Ohhh you're a student, that explains how you have such a ridiculous amount of time to plow through video games. Yeah once life gets in the way, trust me you won't ever be "bored" for not having new games to play because then you'll have a backlog like the rest of us. So your college courses will be kind of a benefit in that respect, it'll force you to pick the games that matter most to you and boredom will be a thing of the past.

After 8 months of pretty much not touching a video game, I'm diving back into Fallout 4 to continue the journey with my high luck/charisma gunslinger build. I gotta say this 60-hour workweek life makes it tough to fit in video games.
What do people think of Elder Scrolls Online? I've never played an MMO, and was thinking of getting one you can play on console. I'd like to start getting into multiplayer games, but I've always been an RPG guy who loves customizing and leveling up characters, progressing through a story...
Shooters aren't really my bag. But I am curious about Fortnite and Overwatch.
I much preferred Diablo 1 over 2 and 3. 3 especially was a big let down, after the dumbing down patches to make it more console friendly and cutting the real money auction house that I effectively used to pay for the game. In Diablo 1 if you didn't take a doorway or some other chokepoint in later levels/difficulty you were dead. And then you had to try to go get your dropped gear back with some crap backup items which was even harder.
If you're short on time I wouldn't recommend any MMO. Too much time wasted trying to kill/collect X of Y while a bunch of other players are doing the same and you're waiting on respawns.

Yeah but I’m no stranger to grinding tho, I was a Diablo 2 fan, after all. Man it’s been a long time since I’ve had an addictive feedback loop with a game like I did with diablo. I think an MMO might do the trick.
I agree re: D3, it just didn’t grab me the way D2 did.

ESO is okay...the storyline didn't really grab me like, say, The Witcher or other RPGs with more context, so I stopped playing after getting to Level 10 or so. You can get the base game cheap and try it for yourself (I think I paid $8 at Gamestop for a PS4 version).

I cannot plus this enough. I got Death'a Gambit a month ago. Still haven't beat it once. At the rats I'm going Dragon Quest XI will last me a year.

I'm actually working full time but taking courses on the side. I had to drop my courses for this semester though due to changing work schedules. But I do have a lot of free time outside of work, so I waste my life playing games. Some people have hobbies, others a second job, me, I play games.
I've already been playing Fallout 4 for over 9 days, and it is as addicting the second time around as the first. It really is interesting playing it again the second time around, as the DLC's pop up once you have the required level (I finished FO4 before playing the DLC's as they were released. I'm only halfway done through the main game missions.
By the way new Tomb Raider game reviews trickling in.
starting to work through my backlog. Started Deus Ex: Mankind Divided yesterday. Played the one on 360 but didn't finish it because it was around that time that I got my One. Anyway, I played 3 hours last night and only completed one mission and two side missions. Was too busy exploring apartments and hacking into people's computers. Pretty fun stuff.
Ghost Recon right now. 2nd time through. I stopped the first play-through early because I figured out I was not doing some things I should. One of these days I'm going to read online about games before I play so I know the basics.
Or not. It's sometimes fun to find out that it's easier to take out enemies by happenstance.
The wife was playing Witcher 3 until Tomb Raider came out. She loves Witcher. TR she says is a ton of fun, but apparently there are some things that are klunky.
And the Season pass for TR seems to be lost in the middle of some south American country.
I have no idea what my next game will be. Perhaps Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
I'm playing Wolfenstein: The New Order. The sounds are really good & with headphones on I regularly get freaked out & startled.
