Playing Dark Souls 3 right now and really enjoying it.
I was playing with an axe and although it is a nice weapon I tested an Estoc and the damage/energy cost is insanely good, so that's what I'm using for now.
I'm at that snowy area and I'm feeling that it have less bosses then the previous games too, it has more of a Bloodborne rhythm from what I've noticed. But I loved every boss fight until now, even considering they weren't as hard as I thought they would be.

But what if you want to play those games again??? It's so hard for me to get rid of games, even if I havent touched them for a while

I got a bit further over the weekend. I just got to the Catacombs of Carthus, and don't think I left anything undone behind me(not playing with a guide for the time being). It seems to be growing on me a bit more now that I can start playing a bit more how I'd have liked to from the start in having more levels and equipment. It seems with there being less bosses, that leveling up has come much slower. It's only now that I'm starting to get enough souls from enemies to actually concern myself with returning and grabbing them after death.

I did get the Greatsword lying about in Farron Keep, but am now wondering if I don't like the Wolf Knight's Greatsword better, at least until I can find a second GS to power stance. It's much faster to swing like the claymore, but has some interesting quick and acrobatic special attacks that use the skill/magic bar that I can see getting creative with. I also like the running slash of the wolf one better, as it does a radial sweep, unlike the GS downward cleave, so I can run through dark doorways and do the radial attack in case something's inside to the right or left preparing to jump out at me without having to slow my pace to roll for the GS' radial sweep.

As for the level design, it does seem more linear, but I'm not sure it's not just because the areas are so large that they don't seem to meet together in as many areas. The areas do seem to cross in certain places, but usually with some sort of "point of no return" drop. I do like the vertical nature of many of the levels though. It allows me to get creative with my bow, or get use of the spell spook and jump off ridiculously tall structures and sword plunge into big bad things.

Still playing Fallout 4 - it's my world, but it's problematic. I feel like its a world of mutant Neurotypicals all running around trying to kill or eat each other aggressively & I'm some weird skinny Aspie, running around in a mad costume trying to adopt & help everyone & not hurt anyone. I know they are only AI, but in the Fallout 4 world I can clearly see their problems & the solutions & I can't help trying to help while they are all hitting each other with frying pans. I'm pretty certain that's not what is supposed to be going on...

'Hey guys, lets all chill & watch the sun go down on this irradiated hill drinking Nuka Cola'

'Can I bring my giant bloatfly called Boris?'

'Sure you can, we all are weird here'

Has anyone here ever played Valve Corporation's Portal?

I'm familiar with it, seen alot of it, havent really played it much. Not for any specific reason or anything (I tend to like puzzle games after all). Just... you know... the infamous Steam Backlog that many users experience.

One of those games I do intend on getting around to but havent done yet.

Finished Dark Souls 3. Beautiful game, best of the series in a lot of ways. I wrote a quick Steam review:

Up there with the original. Level and encounter design is probably better in general and definitely more consistent through the game, and although it doesn't have so much interconnection it does have visual links between zones and makes sense in a way that Dark Souls II didn't. Enemies are great with the notable exception of the dark snake/dragon mutation guys. Bosses are the best of the series although the challenge doesn't ramp up until the last half of the game. Removing armour reinforcement was a step in the right direction, and weapon skills add more variation and utility to the many different weapons you pick up. More divergence would have been great but I'm far from disappointed with the amount that is there.

Absolutely a better send off for the series than I would have expected after the disappointment of the second game, even when it came about that Miyazaki was directing again.

And now I'm in the midst of my second playthrough, mere hours after finishing.

Just beat Twilight Princess HD.
The remaster is so much better than the original releases.

Now I am playing Super Mario Maker and Pokken until Star Fox Zero comes out Friday.
If you have me on Miiverse, you can play my new course.

A whole lot of Audioshield. Right now it's been the game I've kept going back to on the Vive. It's so addicting playing some of my favourite songs, logging in and trying to dethrone people who've dethroned my high scores.

I'm very much looking forward to playing Dark Souls 3, but I'm waiting until I have annual leave in May so I can play it in some long sessions to savor it.

I'm playing Wii U games Xenoblade Chronicles X, Smash Bros, Yoshi's Wolly World and Shovel Knight.

I know TPHD has some graphical improvements, but what about in other areas?

Playing Black Desert Online currently.

the climbing is faster, amiibo compatibility, hero mode, transforming to/from wolf form is faster, poes can now be collected during the day, and the painfully long slog of an intro is apparently quicker.

I was actually going to ask about the intro. It's literally the #1 thing that turns me off from TP.

i wanted to see an accurate comparison of a DC-9 with a 727 (both outdated and largely scrapped planes of the 1970's), and i wanted to see the liveries of times gone in australia, like Ansett airlines and TAA, so here is a simple video showing them.
i like fsx i must reiterate because so many kinds of environments can be programmed to fly. i do not embedd the video because the frame rate is spurious when i do so.
