Yep, same here. Burnout Paradise for winter sports holds little appeal. I've already posted it back.
Got most of the way through INSIDE this past weekend. If you liked LIMBO or you like puzzle-platformers with great atmosphere, you should check it out.
Been playing Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag the last few days, great way to kill time on my days off. Three achievements unlocked just today - "Thug Life" (plunder 30 ships), "A Pirate's Life for Me" (complete memory sequence 3), and "Routine Hacking" (complete present day mission 2).
Is it sad that my first achievement, "Heroes Aren't Born" (complete memory sequence 1), was unlocked in 2014, and the other fourteen I've gotten, including "Mer-Man" (swim a total of 11 nmi), "Owned" (complete every activity in a single location), "Silence, Fool!" (kill a guard ringing a bell), "Hungover" (wake up in a haystack), and "Killer Killer" (harpoon a killer whale), have all been in the past four days?

Started playing Ryse yesterday. Got through the first 2 chapters, still not sure what I think to it.
Persona 3 FES, which has proven itself to be substantially harder than Persona 5 or Persona 4, even on Normal.
This must be the Atlus Hard people were talking about.

My two main games have been Skyrim and Lego Batman 3 on PS3 (along with Luigi's Mansion on 3DS every so often), but I was in a rare mood for a retro game, so I sat down to play a shoot'em up from Capcom called 1943 (technically an enhanced version called 1943 Kai that, well, let's just say I wasn't playing it on a console). I just meant to mess around for a bit and moe on, but 46 minutes later I had beaten it. In the interest of full disclosure, as a guy who isn't very experienced with the genre I did turn it to easy mode and with 5 "credits", but that's all I did, no cheat codes or anything.
It was really cool to just sit down and beat a game like that. It was really interesting when half way through the game you finish the arcade levels that are on the port and it switches to "Original mode", with new enhanced graphics, music, levels, etc. I got to the end and beat the final boss (barely), and I got to my first non-JRPG 16 bit game end credits/ending.
Overall, it was fun and a retro game experience I've never really had since, while my family had an old NES and Genesis as a kid, the N64 and Gameboy Color were the first consoles that were really mine, so I never did much in the 8 or 16 bit generations (until the last few years where I've played several old JRPGs like various Final Fantasy's and Suikoden II).

I'm currently doing runs of the original Mass Effect and of ME Andromeda. I also started the original Dishonored.
Now that one is not my usual kind of game because of the stealthy nature of it but it's actually not too shabby, and a lot of fun. Blink is fun to use and you can go all stealth or go for bloodshed. It's up to you. Pity the 2nd game has issues.

FInished Lego Harry Potter 5-7, 100%. Was kind of disappointed with this one. Only one bonus level, and what you build with the 200 gold bricks is Hogwarts, leading to nothing other than it raining studs. That's rather lackluster given the effort of obtaining everything. I still give the edge to Lego SW 3: The Clone Wars.
Mass Effect Andromeda finally arrived. I've played around 11 hours now. Enjoying it so far.
why didn't anyone tell me I'd cocked up that sentence?

I'm playing a game called Brut@l. It is a salute and homage to the old ASCII Dungeon crawl games. It is pretty fun. Reminds me of old times. Of course, the graphics are a little different. It has been updated to where your monsters look like monsters and your heroes look like heroes. Not letters.
I am really liking Disohonored. It's actually some real fun. Yes it's linear and all but the levels themselves are large and you can plan your travels to avoid things, or not.
Also playing Prototype 1 and 2 for the first time and loving those.

Played and finished a GBC game called Wendy: Every Witch Way. A fun, simple platformer where you can shoot enemies with a wand that powers up as you collect stars, and you can also flip the gravity of the level at will. Nothing complicated, but fairly short and fun to play.
I've started a JRPG called Treasure of Rudras. Its a fan translated game (the super famicom original was never translated because it came out at the very end of the SNES life cycle). I'm still early in the game, but its fairly fun so far. You have three main characters that you can play the stories of when you want, and it has a special magic system that uses words and combining words to use spells.
I'm also still playing Lego batman 3 and Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. I'm taking a bit of a break from Skyrim, but I'll be back eventually.

Picked up the two newer Wolfenstein games so having a go off those. I prefer New Order to the previous one (Just Wolfenstein?). Enjoyed RTCW back in the day though.
Did you find New Order too linear at all?
I liked it for what it was, but I only played it twice. After that I just left it sitting in my library. I found the levels fun, but they pushed you in one direction and the levels didn't really give you much leeway to go off the beaten path and find other ways to the end.
Well, I'm only about half way through, but yeah, it is linear.
Still, I'm having fun with it and for the price I got it for, not going to complain too much. I should finish some of my older library first, but the sales keep getting in the way
