Don't like Rayman Origins levels, no focus, no flow. Boring. Legends levels are better.

After playing a bunch of Origins levels... I kind of agree. That said when playing it in Origins they handled the extra stuff better like getting enough lums for instance. And every level had the speed run. So it made you play the levels over again and in different ways which was sweet. But in pure level design Legends is better.

Steam is adding family sharing!

You can share your ENTIRE library with up to 10 people. Some games will be blocked.

So who wants to be family?

Finally started playing The Last of Us again!

I got to the 8-hour mark, and lost all interest in the game. Maybe I'll start playing it again someday.

Good man!

My whole summer was screwed, game-playing-wise:

I got The Last of Us in June, mom had her operation...

...fast forward to August!

August, I got Dynasty Warriors 8 just to have a game to play where I didn't have to think, yet I could blow off some steam. Dragon's Crown came out and I stopped playing Dynasty Warriors 8. Looked at my Backlog for some reason and decided I needed to start back at the beginning of the year and finally play / finish Tomb Raider. Stopped playing Dragon's Crown to play Tomb Raider. Beat Tomb Raider just in time to start Saints Row IV. Was LOVING Saints Row IV until I decided to "just give Diablo 3 a try." Love Diablo 3 but stopped playing that to give Puppeteer a try. Stopped playing Puppeteer to go back to The Last of Us to try and pick up at the END of the Summer, what I started to play at the START of the Summer...

Thank GOD for portables keeping my sanity! I was on the go all Summer, but at least I could take something with me... Put about 125 hours into Animal Crossing somehow... Got rid of it for reasons I don't care to disclose at the moment --BUT-- the odd thing is: Somehow I --ALSO-- managed to put over 75 hours into Shin Megami Tensei IV!!

Although I started the year out VERY strong with a LOT of game completions, things just fell apart in the Spring and Summer. Some casualties of this year: Fire Emblem is still waiting to be finished. Project X Zone took a waaay backseat to AC and Shin Megami. Pikmin has barely been touched. Rayman was played a tiny bit on a morning I decided to devote an hour or so to the Wii U. I played two or three stages of Legends and finally got around to the Wonderful 101 demo. I am looking forward to THAT, but who knows WHEN. Mario and Luigi? Not even opened yet. I NEED to get back to Dragon's Crown too! I LOVE that game, but don't even remember HOW to play at this point!

...This has been one hell of a year so far... Let's hope things turn around in the last quarter!

Got to say Rayman Legends is sweet. It's really impressive how they've expanded the exploration and still haven't sacrificed anything in regards to the platforming. I will definitely miss the speed runs of Origins, but there's more than enough in this game to make up for the loss of that.

Yeah pretty much the same here. I thought it was a good game but not as great as others thought which is why I gave it an 8. Witcher 3 is looking and sounding excellent and I'm very much looking forward to it.

Look at this, Archie agrees with me and he likes everything.

It figues that the only two people who found it OKAY are on this site.

I thought the game was a 9 for sure. I still think the original is better though. You wouldn't like that either because the combat is more old school RPG crazy.

I prefer the graphical style of the 3DS to that of the WiiU for SSB.  I think the diorama effect will work very well with the game, and I like the black outlines.  The WiiU version...  I don't know, it's just all too similar to Brawl.  I'm not even sure if I'll be able to get people together to game like I could only 5 years ago, in which case I'd find it hard to justify purchasing this if it doesn't do more to differentiate itself.

It's got an online mode hasn't it? Apparently you can remove the black lines from the 3ds version.

I always thought of SSB as more of an interactive Nintendo encyclopedia wrapped up in an average party fighting game than anything more, so I almost don't see the point in this new game considering the last two basically covered everything.

I don't even understand the insane sales this franchise has done for Nintendo. Likewise, they hype it up to be one of their biggest gaming events and I'm just left sitting here going "Eh....bring on the real games please". I just do not care...the same way I don't care about any other game like this on any other console.

They're good, crazy fighting games with tons of your favourite characters. I got bored of brawl but loved n64 smash and melee.
