Yeah, it's likely going to be a huge hit and a top seller on Steam. A lot of people waited for it and are looking forward to getting it.

Though, I lost interest after it took them forever to add features to the online and I absolutely hated the story, it was incredibly unsatisfying and Trevor was simply poorly written, like they were trying so hard to be edgy or something that it got boring.

i find the insanelly high ratings to be laughable considering games have been getting subpar scores for not being quite "next gen" or being "something we played 100 times over already" When bloodborne still uses old technology, controls physics and it is far from "next gen" not to mention it is effectively dark souls 3 and its not like dark souls 2 and lord of the fallen didnt came out a while ago.

"hur dur you dont know what you are talking about"

Calm down fanboy, i didnt say the game is bad, just that it is very overrated for what is effectively a last gen game with bad perfomance, you can go ahead and add bad optimization. The ratings this game gets is like it revolutionized gaming in a time of stagnation, when infact it is visually dated, runs bad, has the same gameplay as dark souls 2 from a few months ago and no a few mechanics dont make it a totally new game...and has the same animations sounds, etc etc, i find it funny games like far cry 4 are trashed for those reasons but dark souls 3 gets a free pass.

I haven't seen FC4 being trashed for those things. Though, I do think Bloodborne has a lot more differences than the Souls games than FC4 does over FC3. My issue with FC4 is the characters are so unbearably bad that it's hard to actually get through the game.

Just summon people all the time. The worst player could still beat the game without much trouble with two summons with him constantly.

You can do two summons at once? I know in the Souls games you could but that way you'd have to just stand over their signs and summon them. With the bell in Bloodborne do you have to just ring it twice?

But yes, summoning if it is like the Souls games does help if you are stuck at a boss or an area. And it's cool to help other people, plus, at least in Dark Souls, helping others for a boss would also allow you to get the Souls/XP from the boss battle, so you could go to a relatively easy boss or area and keep doing easy farming.

If it's a game I'm really into then yes it is worth it. Couldn't wait to get Bioshock Infinite, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Dragon's Dogma, and Beyond Two Souls to name a few (most recently Bloodborne, loving it so far). Each game was great.

Then I sometimes make the mistake of getting games I'm hesitant about but get great praise so I go for it and regret it, such as with RDR, GTA V, The Last of Us, and Shadow of Mordor.

You can usually tell if you'll like a game or if you are forcing yourself to like it because a lot of people do. Spending full price on a game you are looking forward to usually turns out well.

The standouts for me are Demon's Souls and Beyond: Two Souls (also U2 but everyone seems to love that one so I figured I'd post something a little different that I also really liked).

Will check it out. Probably gonna grab Driveclub for $20 new at Gamestop. Though, I always wanted to try future soldier, so may see if I can find that and something else plus a free game to add in, may also add Singularity, heard good things about it.

Just a quick look, I'd suggest Brothers in Arms, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (get this version, only way to get the extra content, can't download the DLC and it improves other features of the main game), and Alice Madness Returns. I also suggest Enslaved Odyssey to the West.

Went with a matte with 2.5 k resolution. Was hesitant at first to get it (used to glossy from my laptop) but am not regretting it.

I don't get why people do this. As much as I don't want a self driving car, it is clear a lot of people really need them. I recently drove a vehicle with built in gps and I was oddly distracted. Kept looking down at it and would spend too much time looking at it then jump back to the road. I can only imagine how distracting texting and driving is. But I guess most people don't like driving so they need distractions.

Hey all, I'm looking to get a 2015 Mazda 3 i Touring and was wondering if anyone else here has one. I like the restyling both in and out (though I won't be getting the tech package, can't justify $1600 for it and now the touch screen is standard for the Touring in 2015). Decided on the 2.0 over the 2.5. Drove both and it didn't feel like enough of a jump in power to justify the price, plus the HUD was incredibly annoying (not a deciding factor, but it played a role). Other than that, love what they did to the seats since the last gen, the interior materials are all very good, and I like how everything is laid out, real simple and functional while still looking good.

The steering is heavier than the last gen but nothing overbearing. Rode around some bends with it and it felt composed the entire time. What it lacks in power it makes up for in handling.

Going for an i Touring, red exterior, black interior, and hatchback.

Just wondering what everyone else thinks of their own Mazda 3. I'm curious to see what others have to say about the car. I want to be well informed when making my purchase and not rush into it.
