I thought the new Thor movie was really fun, but there were some serious moments I didn't really feel the impact of because it's pretty much a straight up comedy. I do love the imagery in the battle scene at the end though. Someone described it as a 70s metal album cover come to life. I can't argue with that. 

Only problem is, isn't the green lady supposed to be super-menacing? Cause the tone of the movie kind of ruined that effect for me. I know she killed a lot of people and destroyed ASGARDIA, but it was done in the midst of jokes about The Devil's Anus. Kind of hard to take it seriously. 

I think Far Cry 5 is set in Montana. While media depictions of Texas may make it look like "country bumpkin land," there's actually a lot they could do with the major cities in addition to rural areas. San Antonio (major Hispanic influences in food and culture) is completely different than Houston (culturally diverse, humid, terrible traffic) or Austin (Hipster Land and political capital) or Dallas (white collar bankers driving Porsches and the only think to do is eat or shop for clothing) or where I live in Nacogdoches (oldest town, basically a suburb with a university in it). 

BUT yes, they could do a lot with a game set completely outside the U.S. Personally, I'd love one about Somali pirates. 

Anyway, I actually prefer the story in the two Tomb Raider games to the first 3 Uncharted games. Not necessarily the mainline story, but I love how finding trinkets in TR actually fleshes out Lara's character (you get therapy sessions tapes! I ... actually really like that) as opposed to just "you found a trinket" in Uncharted. They're both B-movie stories to me at the end of the day. In Uncharted's defense, the set pieces can be more interesting, so ... honestly, I see these games as basically on equal footing, if not essentially the same concept. 

I think Shovel Knight stands in for Mega Man well enough for me now (especially since you can play as four different characters and essentially Treasure Trove is four different games), but I would like a new 2D Castlevania. Or a good 3D Castlevania. I'm fine with the setting of the Dark Souls games there, but I don't want a stamina meter and I need my triple-jumping. 

I might do something like this as well, since I missed so many. 

When I saw the title, I thought this would just be dedicated to Chrono Crossing the game and that would be your favorite game for every year ... including the 80s, somehow. 

Lots of Nintendo and Final Fantasy on your list. Did you do a blog on Bee Wary? 

I really need to buy a Yakuza game. 

I'm still torn between Kiwami (cheaper) and Zero (already invested in). 

I'm still doing all my gaming on PS4, because even with portable systems, I end up just playing at home anyway. 

However, the no load times thing sounds might nice. 

Designs like the Dark Streak always remind me of Judas Priest album covers. Painkiller, specifically. 

It was pretty much a perfect rental for me. I miss those ... 

If I had a 4KTV, I'd love an XBOX ONE X. It's just too bad purchasing that all at once would be WAY too heavy a pricetag for me. 

In the meantime, I have to admit Xbox One does BC and certain functional things way better than PS4, but I'm just so much more drawn to the exclusive that exist on PS4. 

However, I've only ever owned a 360 controller (for Steam games), but never a Microsoft console. It's all Nintendo for me, my brother's Sony consoles and then PS4. I kind of want an original XBOX though. 

Counterintuitively, I think I'd finish more games if I had them on the go. 

Deadpool is a surprisingly fun game, but don't leave it on the kiddie pile. 

I didn't know Injustice 2 was $20. Well, then.
