Even though Second Son is still downloading, it's allowing me to play it? Anyhow, it's a fun game. It's controls are a lot more fluid and faster than the first inFAMOUS game. However, so far it's mission designs haven't been as fun as in the first inFAMOUS, and Delsin and his brother are really annoying. They act very stupidly and cause the big problems they later need to deal with. And then, when they're in a race against time to save people in their tribe whom are dying, Delsin's brother will be focusing on how to remove Delsin's power, when it's obvious Delsins ability is the only chance of saving the people in their tribe? I must say, I prefer the first inFAMOUS game, because Cole is a likable character, and it's story presentation is great, and it's gameplay was quite good although it's mechanics aren't as fluid, IMO it's mission designs are more fun. However, I like how the graphics in Second Son look realistic and crisp. The graphics for the first inFAMOUS game looked a bit ugly, even for PS3 standards. I also like how the game makes the controller make sounds to make it sound like stuff is happening right next to you. The Wii Controller had this feature, and it's nice it's been brought back again. One of the benefits of the PS4 is that it has two processors, one specifically for downloads. Which means a lot of games will let you start playing even when the download hasn't finished. Some games will even let you choose which part of the game you want to focus on downloading first, especially when they have multiplayer components. Second Son is good though not as good in story as InFAMOUS and InFAMOUS 2, nor is Delsin as good or as likeable a character as Cole. I actually enjoyed the standalone DLC, First Light (which focuses on the character Fetch) more than the actual game of Second Son. Regardless I have platinumed all of the InFAMOUS games. I really wish Sucker Punch would make another InFAMOUS already but their busy working on Ghosts of Tshusima (which I'm not complaining about at all since it looks awesome).

I was tempted to get First Light, because people say it's gameplay feels better, and I like the glowing pink neon ( I usually don't like the color pink, but it's looks spectacular in First Light). But I went ahead with Second Son because I've read First Light is quite short. But, I'll definitely get around to First Light, it looks awesome.

If you like the neon then just keep playing Second Son. I won't say any more because of spoilers. But definitely if you enjoy Second Son pick up First Light.

I gave Rainbow Six Seige a bit of a play, and while the game has some things going for it, it has some big issues.
No single player campaign. Many online shooter fans will scould me if I complain about a lack of single player campaign, but it's a reality that NOT EVERYONE likes to play multiplayer. I saw on a forum some people had the same complaint as me, and those people got scoulded as if they are snobs or hermits because they don't like to play with other human players.
The game does have some modes which can be played solo, such as situations, which involves rescuing hostages or disarming bombs, but there's only 10 or so of the situations, and they're very short but quite fun.
Terrorist hunt can be played solo, but even veteran FPS gamers have difficulty beating terrorist hunt playing solo because you need to kill 22 enemies whom use very defensive tactics, they guard certain areas and you need to be very good at aiming and shooting to win in this mode because there is no regenerating health.
Terrorist hunt can be played with a total of 5 human players, which means if every human player killed 4.4 enemies, you would easily win. Well, when I play alone, I'm often killing 10+ enemies, so it's not like I'm simply bad at the game, it's just the developers didn't give enough options for single player. I think killing 10 or 15 enemies in solo would be better, because how do they expect 1 person to take on 22 enemies with no regenerating health and dealing with enemies using very defensive tactics.
I do like neat little things about the game such as that robot that has a camera that can roll underneath doors and show you where the enemies are and how they're positioned. This would have made for something good in a story campaign.There's also a rope thing that lets you go onto the roofs of buildings and you can select windows to enter different tactics.
Another thing I hate is you need to have PS Plus to be able to sign this game. I often don't continue my PS Plus subscription because most of the free games they offer are ones I'm not interested in. Anyways, I used a 48 hour trial of PS Plus (even though I've used PS Plus before),to be able to play this game, but I will not pay a monthly fee to play this game.
P.S I just remembered Yakuza Kiwami is a PS Plus game this month, so I made sure I snagged it, and next month when I have time to play Kiwami and other games become available I'll use the PS Plus service again.

I've been playing a bit of Yakuza Kiwami , because I want to see how Kazuma's story begun (I know Yakuza 0 is set before the original Yakuza game, but I want to see events in the original first game). As expected, some emotionally charged events have happened, it shows the honor in Japanese culture, and how they will think about consequences not just for an individual, but also for the individuals family when they make decisons. I kinda have an idea how the Yakuza story begun, because I watched flashbacks of the first Yakuza game when I played other Yakuza games, but it's nice to see it being presented to me. The other Yakuza games I've played are Y2, Y3 and Y4 . I will say Yakuza 4 is one of my favorite action/adventure games of all time for many reasons, I'm yet to play 5 and 6 , and really want to play 0. The only thing is, my PS Plus subscription ends tomorrow and I have work tomorrow, but I think I will wait until December to renew my PS Plus subscription so I can pick up PS Plus games for December and January , and plus I still have inFAMOUS Second Son and Final Fantasy Type 0 to keep me busy.

Picked up Guardians of the Galaxy Season Pass. I wasn't a huge fan of the movie, but Telltale have turned numerous TV series/movies that I'm not a fan of into stories that I absolutely love. Since Telltale is closing down, maybe it's better I try to pick up some of their games that I'm yet to play (Game of Thrones and Batman Enemy Within) before it's too late.

I still need to finish this one. I've played through Walking Dead first season, TWAU, Borderlands and Batman 1st season. I bought the season pass for Game of Thrones but it caused my PS3 to freeze when I tried to install it. I hope to play the rest of the Walking Deads, Batman Season 2 and Game of Thrones eventually.

I'm up to chapter 3 in Guardians of the Galaxy. The story is good and entertaining, as expected it expands upon the movies fairly well, and keeps things interesting. The atmosphere is great, with beautiful nebulae and futuristic cities in the background, and colorful starships. The 80s music makes things even more fun. It has a lot more QTEs than the other Telltale games, and the irony is Drax looks and acts like Kratos...

I've finished/platinumed Guardians of the Galaxy. It was enjoyable enough, but I must say it is my least favorite Telltale game. The game does feel rushed, because the story could have been fleshed out better (it's very short, each episode is only 1 hour long), and the story writing and dialogue could be better, it's like the writers went overboard in portraying the characters as being immature.
Now I can see what the former staff at Telltale meant when they said they felt they were being worked too hard,because it feels like this game was released to meet a deadline, rather than one they could put their heart into.
Next, I will beat Second Son and will try to platinum it, which will take a fair bit of time, since I think I'm only 30% into SS story, and then I will move onto FF Type 0, and I want to try to platinum it also, since I've heard it's plat is very obtainable. I think in mid December, I'll reactive PS Plus so I can beat Yakuza Kiwama and snag whatever games they have (I'm hoping they will be generous since it will be around Christmas).
Either way, it's not a bad backlog to have...

I beat Second Son. The game does give you some awesome abilities such as video (lets you summon demons and glide), neon (exhilarating speed with a gorgeous effect), and the cencrete power was fun for a bit. However, Delsin and his brother are the 2 stupidest characters I've seen. Fetch is a likable character though, and I didn't mind Eugene.
Now I'm working towards the plat, and many of the requirements have a criteria that borders into being annoying, rather than a good kind of challenge. Especially since if you save your progress on the tallest building incase you mess up the trophies for staying in the air 45 seconds and comet drop 170 meters, you will not respawn on that building, but somewher else, which means you need to do a few minutes of work to get to the top of the building, since it's surrounded by electrical currents hence you can't just sprint along the side of the building. The trophy for using 3 powers to kill an enemy was a pain to get in post story mode since there's not much enemies around and it's always difficult to find a video power recharge, and same goes for the 2 air vent one.
And then there's trophies that involve killing sign twirlers or street musicians whom can appear randomly anywhere, hence I run around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to find them
Still need to do another playthrough on that expert difficulty and need to get good karma, as well as obtaining all the blast shards and doing a whole bunch of side missions. I wouldn't mind it so much if I wasn't eager to move onto Final Fantasy Type 0. If I played this game when it was released early during the PS4's life cycle then the plat requirements wouldn't feel so tedious.

I would definitely recommend you give First Light a go at some point since it lets you play as her and fills in her backstory.

Platinumed Second Son.
I picked up Street Fighter 5 for cheap. I've been a fan of SF since the early 90s, but I must say SF5 isn't as fun as what I'd hoped. The arcade mode feels a bit broken, because on default difficulty, the CPU AI is really dumb, but if I raise the difficulty level, the AI just strings together long cheap combos, similar to a Killer Instinct game. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since Capcom and Dimps put SF5 together piece by piece, which is why it didn't even originally have an arcade mode.
The story mode feels rushed, because the character stories are short, and leave out important history of the characters. For example, Vega actually has a very dark and disturbing backstory, about how his mother married men for their wealth, and one of those men killed Vega's mother, hence Vega killed that man, became psychotic and developed a split personality where he would be a businessmen by day and an assassin at night, and begun to despise anything he considers ugly.
However, he story mode for SF5 skips much of this, and makes his story begin way after these important and traumatic events,and doesn't even show them.
The mechanics are fast and fluid, the problem is with the CPU AI, and the game has some long loading times. Basically it feels like Street Fighter 4 meets Killer Instinct.

Finally begun FF Type 0. It's story presentation has been amazing so far, it goes for a darker and more serious tone, hence you will see lots of blood (yes blood, in an FF game), and some dark and emotional scenes in a war torn world. As for it's gameplay, well you can definitely see it was made to be a portable game, it's battle system is simplistic and has automated healing, it feels part like a shooter/action game. The music has been beautiful and emotional.
