Wow, so I imagine you're still in the first area of FFXV. I'm enjoying just driving around listening to tunes as well. Was considering going back to the game after 100% the achievements just to do that.

Jim Sterling's great, but I don't think I personally agree with him here. I find I like my sandboxes with less things to do. Like FFXV, Mirror's Edge Catalyst and the Division (I think all three games have beautiful looking open worlds as well). Interestingly, Jim doesn't mention FFXV in the video, so I don't know his stance on that one here or if it presents a possible hole in his argument. Without the open-world in FFXV, I think the game would be a largely pointless, linear single-player campaign.

I find Witcher 3 and Elder Scrolls overwhelming in terms of open world and I don't want to play those for that reason. I do agree with the part on overloaded icons on maps in games like Assassin's Creed. That said, No Man's Sky in particular sounds, bland, big, empty, and boring.

Congratulations on finally making the leap to this generation. I'm waiting on the Last Guardian as well.

Obvious recommendation is FFXV, but you were probably already considering that one.

I see. I will look into it for sure then.

It is. Though I found driving around in the car even more fun in FFXV: listening to old Final Fantasy tunes while crusing down the road with the bros.

Wow, 400 hours for Minecraft. My most played game was Monster Hunter Generations at about 140 hours. There are very few games I put at 400 hours, much less in a single year. Though I probably put a few hundred hours into the Masterchief Collection last year.

Very nice and clean, unlike my setup. I had to get rid of most of my game cases because they were taking up too much space. I still keep all of my favorites though.

Yeah, even though REVII is thankfully a step away from the over-the-top action movie that was RE6, it still doesn't appeal to me. I'll still try the demo though.

Hope you enjoy Mirror's Edge Catalyst and The Last Guardian. I'm going to have to get TLG eventually, but I'm waiting for the price to go cheaper. Games are just too expensive brand new and I only bought two games at full-price last year.

Anyways, Happy New Year.

I keep getting more reasons to check out World of Final Fantasy. I hope I like it as much as you.

After 2 games (ACII and Brotherhood), the story of Assassin's Creed bored me to tears, so I can't imagine sitting through a soulless movie with no passion behind it.

You got your work cut out for you. Beat MGS1-5 but that was over a span of like ten years. And you got more games than that.
