    I just got Monster Hunter World for the PS4 because my friend got me hooked. I've never played any MH games before but this one's awesome, although I found it hard to accept that there's not much of a storyline.

    MH is the rare kind of series that has so much gameplay that the complete lack of story does not detract. In fact, having it there would likely be to it’s detriment. You could think of it as the polar opposite to the Mass Effect games. Their completely *kitten* gameplay is totally offset by the immense and convoluted story branching.

    Few games can pull off both very well at the same time, a la Fallout/Elder Scrolls.

    I'm slowly grinding MHW still, i'm starting to lose interest thanks to the idiotic crown system for trophies and the fact that unless you play at 3am on the east coast you get teamed up with people who die fast. I think I'm almost done with the storyline if i can get 2 elder dragons wiped out. I'm currently getting materials for the 8 rare weapon trophy. I gave up on Borderlands pre-sequel for a while so I'm going to try Neptunia on the ps3. I should save RPGs for after I burn thru the rest but I need a change. Also got the new Battletech i backed on kickstarter installed.

    I'm back playing Conan Exiles since it finally goes to full release soon instead of just sitting in early access.

    I haven't played it in about 12 months, and the changes they've made have improved the gameplay dramatically.

    Finally caught Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on PSN for $6. My Vita suddenly resembles a massive rabbit hole.

    Yes, by now I'm glad there isn't much of a story to follow because the game dynamics are very hard to comprehend. For me anyway. But I'm getting there. It's fun. I guess I'm lucky because I got sucked into it by a friend who had people from work playing already and now I'm playing with them. They're old MH veterans and know everything, so they help with both, getting quests done and asking any questions. I assume if I was on my own and only going by how little the game explains, I'd be pretty lost. I'm not gonna lie to you, though, 90% of what got me sold on this game were the Palicos. :p

    I meant to get the sakura streetfighter outfit but haven't been in the mood to game despite getting more and more games in. i keep getting frustrated with crappy camera or design ideas like a 5v1 fight.

    I am also now convinced that I need coffee cups with prints of the various Hot Drink logos on them.

    I'm currently trying to finish Front Mission: Evolved. It's a good game but it sure as hell isn't Front Mission. It's one of those titles Square did thinking it'd be better than porting over FM 5 which everyone wanted from day 1. I was trying to run the new Battletech but my PC is so far gone it won't happen for a while. I have so many kickstarted pc games to play.

    Picked up God Wars: Future Past for my Vita on a whim. Knew nothing about it, other than “srpg”. Turns out it’s a pretty good “Tactics” type of game, including a pretty solid job system. Works out great for me, given that FFT and Ogre Tactics were among my favorite games ever. For $19, I damned sure can’t complain.

    I need to get a vita and a few other consoles not made anymore. I'm working on .hack/GU and it's not bad, i wish they'd put the first ones out in a collection.

    Not that anyone really actively reads these forums but I'm enjoying the hell out of SWGEmu on the Empire in Flames server.

    Finally decided to get a new handheld. The New 2DS is exactly what I was looking for. Much better weight balance than the 3DS, and I’m not a fan of the 3D stuff anyway.

    Started off with a lengthy title. Dragon Quest VII alone should keep me busy for a while. Also picked up DQVIII, MH4U, and am going to be making my first dive into the Pokemon series ever, with UltraSun.

    Finally got Jurassic World Evolution two weeks ago and am loving it so much. I get where the negative voices are coming from, but it's still perfect to me.

    So... my Nintendo switch has been gathering dust but last night I downloaded Stardew Valley. I had never played it before, before I knew it the clock was at 2am. Super chill game.

    I just started playing Kingdom Hearts 1 for the first time. I bought the 1.5 & 2.5 remix for PS4. I never had a Playstation growing up, so I decided to finally play through them since the 3rd game just came out.

    I also play Warframe and Overwatch regularly.

    I'm cleaning up a whole bunch of old games and working through South Park - The Fractured...but Whole.

    Also introduced my kids to Castle Crashers and this is becoming our nightly gig.

    I'm playing World of Warcraft. My guild has AOTC & now we are working on mythic progression. But lets be real, I'm always playing WoW :D Also fired up my 3DS and have been playing Animal Crossing. I'm excited for Nintendo to give us some new info on the upcoming Animal Crossing for Switch!
