For sure. I got 100% of the collectibles in Far Cry 4, and I think my map was like 98.2% revealed?

That's how I feel after getting through Forest of Illusion in SMW.

I feel like it is a game that one could play for years and constantly find new things to do/discover.

Words cannot describe how much I hate solving vaults in Andromeda. What an astonishingly awful thing to include in this game. Ugh.

What do you mean? Like escape room stuff, or more like Tomb Raider?

It's a mixture of sudoku-esque glyph puzzles and messing with a activating various consoles and paths and whatnot. It's a gigantic, uninteresting pain in the ass and it can take HOURS. I hate it so much.

Yea, I mostly hate those too. There were a few in Tomb Raider that were fun enough, I guess.

Until Dawn is uneven but ultimately fun...

The great:
-As a fan of 80s horror, but not one who's played a lot of survival horror games. I like the tone and characters very much.
-Dialogue and voice acting is solid. Peter Stormare's role was a nice surprise.
-The characters are done well enough that I feel compelled to make dialogue and action choices that play off their personalities, rather than just haphazardly making choices.
-This game only cost me $10
-I can go to bed after playing without feeling hyper or twitchy.
-It's a refreshing change of pace from the more conventional games I've been playing. Not quite as refreshing as Inside, but still quite novel.

The good:
-The "butterfly effect" aspect of the game is intriguing, but I'll have to play more to see how much fun it really is.
-The graphics are pretty solid
-Some genuinely creepy moments, but I should play more before really weighing in on this

The bad:
-The characters walk so slowly!
-Anything in an environment that can be interacted with has a little glowing star on it. Stupid! I wish I could turn that off; it would play more like an old school Sierra/LucasArts game that way

I got through my first vault last night. At first it was cool but that did not last long. It's awful. I hated the experience. I'm glad to hear there are more.

The first one is the best! It only gets worse.

I opened 10 Zelda Amiibos today. I got Epona. I really hope to get the Twilight Bow, Hero Shield, Big Goron Sword and Sword (from the original LoZ). There must be a hack to get these items since I've seen pics of people with the Goddess Sword which is unlocked with Skyward Sword Link which hasn't been released yet. The Majora's Mask items look sick!

God dammit. These "Korean" sellers are jacking up the Amiibo listings on Amazon. There's no way to tell who to actually buy from as there's so many of them on there now. You'd think "oh, that's way too cheap!" would be an indicator but actually they're selling at prices from $3 to $15.

There are supposed to be more shipments soon. Do you have any alerts set up to notify you if the systems are available online?

Amiibos aren't working for me. I scanned them once and I keep getting, "you can't use this again today" but it's been a week.

They can be when first released, but they are cool little figurines.

Yeah, kinda. I mean when you have Animal Crossing Amiibo all over the place and none of the characters people actually want, there are issues. It kind of reminds me of when I worked for TRU and people would come in hunting for He-Man figures and all we had were Man-At-Arms and He-Man and Skeletor. There's just a inherent 'rarity' that comes with action figures because the main ones are the ones everyone wants but there's never enough produced.
