I'm drowning deep in Mario Kart 8 now too. I think ignoring Mario games since the SNES has given me some kind of pent up mania, I forgot how much better they play than everything anyone else makes.

Traded in 2K14 (still worth $20!) for Super Mario 3D World. Should have probably bought this in the first place, it's creative as hell. Every level has some fully realized mechanic that could fill a whole indie game.

It's such a great game. I've kept it because even though I haven't beaten the last level (Probably never will) I know the game will be fun to beat again with the other characters

I think the secret to those super hard Mario levels is just to sit there and die 100 times in a row until you've trained your hands to do it in your sleep. It's the only way I was able to clear that Star Road castle in NSMBU. It's almost like learning a musical piece.

Big ups to SLAENT for the Shovel Knight recommendation.

Game is an absolute blast. Worth every penny.

Yeah, they pretty much nailed the 8-bit classic feel, it's one of the surprises of the summer. I'm at the last tower now. Which version did you get?

I actually wrote a piece on how I thought NSMBWU was the GOAT of 2D Mario. Better than SMW (eliminated Yoshi's Island on the technicality that it isn't really a traditional Mario game). http://placetobenation.com/backloggery- … bros-wiiu/

I'm both dreading and welcoming writing something on SM3DW. I was underwhelmed. I think that's because unlike the NSMBWii/U games, I actually had expectations such as Super Mario Galaxy in HD. Also, unlike the NSMB games, the players share from the same 1-up pool, so while playing with my kids, they could get slaughtered and I could still be on my merry way. In the rare instance that I do die, I'd bubble up and keep going as my kids would cheerefully pop me and I would continue to carry. Not so in SM3DW. My kids would exhaust lives faster than I could replenish them, even getting 777's from the slot machines, and sometimes, I would have to start the level over. They were also good at hoggin all the powerups, so I was much more vulnerable in this game than the 2d games.

So I played most of it by myself…which ended up being kinda boring TBQH. I would get my lives up to 70 before inviting my kids to join, and they would crush those lives in 2-3 stages.

They're all out of town until August, and I'm currently sitting at the last three super-duper-de-double-looper stages. My son called one day and asked if I beat MK8 and SM3D while they were gone, and I said no, I was waiting on them to come back.

I don't write criticism on games I have yet to beat.

NSMBU won't have the same newness/impact on gaming that Super Mario World did, but I can agree that it's probably a better game overall, it's tight as hell.

I paid full price for it at launch and it turned out to be one of the best value buys I've made in years, it still gets played regularly. I went through that game multiple times with family, by myself, girlfriends, it's something anyone feels comfortable playing and it has a really good mastery curve. It took me 18 months, but by the time I got that last star coin I felt like I knew thumb judo. And the challenge modes mean it's something I'll keep coming back to for a long time.

But have you played Super Luigi U yet? I actually like that a lot better. The challenge is steeper - which makes it perfect to jump into right after you've mastered NSMBU - but once you get the hang of how Luigi controls, you realize his floaty jump + jump spin can get him out of a lot of jams Mario would be insta-dead in. And the way he skids around trains you to be super precise with your jumps. I started out feeling kind of helpless but I actually felt a lot more powerful than in NSMBU by the end, and going back to that game I noticed a definite improvement in how I played.

But I also always used Luigi in Super Mario 2, which I played a lot growing up, so his controls are probably burned deep into my brain. Playing 3D world, it feels kind of wrong using anyone else.

Anyone else jump on that Best buy b1g1 free on sale on select 3DS games? Seems like everyone has jumped on Best Buy's site and stores are being cleaned out. I ended up ordering Mario Golf and Kirby myself.

I personally did not like tropical freeze that much. I liked the Snes donkey kongs better

Bought Civ5 complete at the Steam sale.

I love this game so fucking much, omg.

Today's episode of The Walking Dead was not awesome…

Added most of you on PSN. Tag is Smokey_Nice.

Been messing with my X1 more than my PS4 lately. Sony starting to piss me off with their lack of updates/features …something MS is really on top of. Got a Destiny X1 code yesterday. Really want to try it with the X1 controller. I think I've some how tricked myself into thinking the DS4 was better due to a lack of decent FPS on the X1 side.

When's TLoU out for PS4?

My PSN name is Agent_Of_Atlas

I don't know if I'm going to get on Destiny though. I was in the alpha and that taught me the game was going to be a time vampire.

I've already emptied out the months of September and October for it.

This is an L worth taking.

Spent a decent amount of time playing Destiny on X1


Yep. X1 pad > DS4. At least for FPS. Feels good man.

I'm 60 hours into Deus Ex: HR Director's Cut and still on chapter 15. Is this normal?

Nah. Ish has been tested. DS4 stick has superior response.

1. The sticks are wrong
2. I doubt that
3. On both of my DS4 THE sticks are cracking. I guess there's a revision out to fix it according to GAF,but it has less grip.

The PS4 circle jerk blinded me but I woke up from that now

That link says it was fixed ahead of TitanFall though.

Either way it feels better to me…sticks are in right place.

DS4 is way better than that POS DS3 for shooters though

I just added you.

Damn I guess I'm the only one here without a ps4 yet. Will prob get the white model by the end of the year.

I'm Vyer on XB1 for those that have a xbone
