I am definitely experiencing pain in my right thumb from only pressing X and think if they just let you use any face button that'd alleviate most of my problems. I, too, have to force myself to press X differently than I normally would after a while because of discomfort. I'm on PC so I could just use the keyboard, but I got this brand new 4k TV and this is one of the only games that actually runs in 4k at 60fps...so I'm stuck with awkward thumb pain or placement. Only really negative thing I have to say about the game, they really ought to just let you use every button since it only uses one, unless something is introduced after level 5 that I'm not aware of.

Hitman then Doom and Dark Souls 3. Hitman is almost everything I could have asked for in a Hitman title and course corrects from Absolution in the best way. I did every achievement in Dark Souls 3 and my playtime in Hitman is still dozens of hours higher. I guess I like great gameplay mechanics in a heavily scripted and painstakenly authored world.

@redbullet685: Holy shit that's funny. I had High Tension in mind when I clicked on the thread. Everything you said rings true for me. I just absolutely hated the twist. I'm kind of used to bad endings in media since I mostly consume games and they almost always have horrible endings, so usually I don't have too much of an issue if a really good story doesn't quite stick the ending. In the case of High Tension it just undoes all the tension and horror it had earned and pisses it away with the stupidest, gimmickiest twist.

Objectively though, the worst ending belongs to The Devil Inside, which has no ending and rather, after 83 minutes, cuts to a title card that directs the audience to a website to learn more. That's not defensible. You've ripped off your audience by not even including an ending.

I thought of both grinding rails and grinding on another person before my mind went to grinding levels. Take that as you will.

I run a dehumidifier when I sleep just to drown out the lady above me who talks as loud as one can possibly talk when on the phone. It's basically just a white noise machine for me, it works great. I tried a digital white noise machine and hated it because you could hear it loop, but this thing's fan and compressor do the trick. I actually find it weird to sleep in total silence without the hum of it now.

2 is great for 90% while 3 is really awesome for the first half, especially the flashback section, up until that damn airfield area and almost everything after it is borderline frustrating. I did not like 1 whatsoever at the time because the shooting was unsatisfying and I found Nathan to be very unlikable so he just came across more like a selfish serial killer than in the later games. 2 was really something special at the time, and it mostly holds up, but the setpieces don't quite hit as hard the second time around obviously and I usually just get to that last section of the game and stop playing.

I suspect I'm being a spoilsport but "inhumanity to man" is a line from Saints Row The Third. Though that might make it better.

Uhhh, lol.

"The phrase 'Man's inhumanity to man' is first documented in the Robert Burns poem called Man was made to mourn: A Dirge in 1784. It is possible that Burns reworded a similar quote from Samuel von Pufendorf who in 1673 wrote, 'More inhumanity has been done by man himself than any other of nature's causes.'"

Beating this was on par with beating a really hard Souls boss for me. Really satisfying and I wish the music had kept going when I completed it so I could run around the unlocked room to the crescendo in a state of manic bliss.
