Here we are, seven days into the new year and I'm curious as to what last year releases the GB community is playing now or eyeing up next. If you managed to get to everything you wanted to play last year then congrats! I have plenty of stuff I need to get back to since 2015 was a year where I missed out on a lot.
I started this year with a bang and began my journey into Phantom Pain, I'm saddened I missed the boat on this and not being apart of the early day discussions but goddamn is this game just a blast to play. I don't know the specifics (I tried pretty hard at avoiding most things about this game) of the story other than I know it was a bummer for some people. If that ends up being the case for me at least the gameplay is strong enough to prop that up for me. Having such a good time running around and getting into trouble and telling D-Dog to put some dudes on ice with his knife and other tomfoolery. At some point last year I made a choice between this game and Fallout 4 due to a lack of funds.
I feel I backed the wrong (D)horse. I didn't hate Fallout 4 but how I feel about Phantom Pain already compared to the entirety of my experience of Fallout 4 tells me a lot of how that game missed it's mark for me in a big way. I'm enjoying the general gameplay loop of MGSV a lot more at the very least.
I have other 2015 releases sitting around like Rise of the Tomb Raider but I think I'll be mainlining Phantom Pain for now, now what are you wiling away your hours with?
