Yeah, it's a bit like the second wind thing from Borderlands...

The arrow around the circle is a countdown timer; if you don't do the button-push by the time the arrow goes all the way around, it's too late.
OK I'm totally hooked on Shadow of Mordor. I just played it for like two hours straight which is a long time for me. I love climbing up a wall and assassinating an Orc and sending the rest in a panic. Still can't stand the warg things though. And I've learned to just run away when my health gets low.
I'm a bit over 14 hours into Final Fantasy VI, and I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm fine with grinding in JRPGS, so I'm going through the game fairly easily, with a session of grinding for levels and learning spells every so often. Its funny how a 16 bit SNES era game can have a more impact story and characters in the time I've played then Final Fantasy XIII had in the 22 hours I played of it before quitting. VI will probably end up being my favorite FF game so far, although the only other two I've beaten are IX and X-2. IX was very good too, although the characters were maybe not as memorable outside of a few specific ones, and X-2 was fun to play but had a hilariously bad story and cast of characters.
It's a variation of the Down But Not Out mechanic, it's actually super common.
Just finished up Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.
Currently getting into Gothic 3 - it's a bit cliche'd with Orcs, but I'm finding it more enjoyable than Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, released around the same period.
Although Oblivion's visuals are a notch above Gothic3, the latter's gameplay is IMO better. I like the combat better, and the world design's fluidity.
Ive also got a party started in the original Pool of Radiance, for a bit of retro contrast.

Don't waste your money on ANNO 2205. It's completely unready for release. There is no continuous play mode which made the other ANNO games so replayable. There is one scenario that comes with the game, and when you finish playing it, your done. Oh, but you have three different maps to choose from. This is an absolutely horrid release of a very good franchise on the order of the SimCity disaster.
Seriously. Do NOT waste your money.

I went and pre-ordered Fallout 4 tonight so I can have it ready to plop in my PS4 next Tuesday.
I would love to be able to actually make the midnight launch at GameStop, but I have to sing that night....waaahhhhhh!!!
So I'll be getting up early Tuesday morning to get my copy, and then Bourbon Street (and probably most of the rest of the world) can kiss my ass for at least the 36 hours that follow said pickup.

Shadows of Mordor.
I STILL cannot do the death quick time event.
From now on, I'm just going to shut the game off the moment before I die so I don't get the penalty. Also, I'm running away when I get low on health but it's hard to notice your health bar it's so unobtrusive.

Really not sure why you're having such a hard time. Move the cursor into the circle and hit the button it tells you to hit.
I finished Life is Strange. It is one of the best games I have played this year. I am looking forward to another replay of this game.
I have been seeing the reviews for Black Ops 3 at Metacritic. I am astonished at the polarized reactions to this game - game critics are loving this game, yet players are not loving this game.
I have both Fallout 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider preordered. I am expecting FO 4 will be a "open beta", so there will glitches galore, game crashes, and storylines which can not be completed. As for RotTR, I am looking for a campaign which is more meatier than Halo 5. The additional modes which come with the game have me interested; however, I am mixed feelings about the microtransactions.

Yep, it'll be released on PS4. Xbox is a timed exclusive for this holiday season, so it'll be some time next year.
Yep, That was confirmed the same day...
MSFT would've loved it if it was console exclusive, but no...
And apparently it will also a bit cheaper when it get's released on PS4...
Don't know when the PC version is slated, with the XB1 version or the PS4 version...
