Like what

I hate my stupid PS4 sometimes. It's the last day of the month so I have to be careful not to go over my bandwidth cap or Comcast will charge me extra. I have all automatic downloads disabled in my PS4 system settings. But I go and turn the PS4 on just now and it ignores that setting and queues up like ten game updates while I start watching a Twitch stream, so I have to go and delete them from queue. Each update is usually at least two or three GB so ten of them basically means poo poo out almost a week's bandwidth in one shot

update: I played a few songs of Guitar Hero Live and enjoyed it. The three finger/six button setup is kinda easier but I still suck. Looking forward to playing along to random poo poo without having to buy a collection all over again.

Some day I'll get an Xbox One and then I can import alldisappointingly few of my poor stranded Rock Band tracks

Shadow of the Beast: looks interesting, not my cup though
TMNT: all footage looks like the combat is boring(compared at least with platinum themselves)
Total Warhammer: Will definitely wait to purchase a definitive edition if i don't get it for my birthday
Battleborn: Lmao absolute garbage
Homefront: Liked the first game, could be cool
Valkyria Chronicles: Already have it, weird that they're remastering it instead of producing a new one or translating a different entry in the series
Overwatch: Meh, will probably never own because Blizzard never does sales and mp only games are not worth full price, ever.
Mirrors Edge: Not the gameplay i would want in an open world setting, waiting to see how bad they fd up
DO4M: MP seems generic, and 13 hours of that lovely shotgun sounds terrible sp
Uncharted 4: I love/hate Uncharted. Terrible writing, loathable characters, awful encounter design and enemy design. loving gorgeous and great gameplay though.

Overall if this is what we're supposed to look forward too, Stux has it right, DS3 for May game of the month.

There is sort of a new one coming out that the remaster was produced to promote but it isn't much like the original games and look kind of like a cross between an action RPG and a third-person shooter.

Dark Souls 3 is really cool but in it the vast majority of treasure chests are mimics which is just really dumb after awhile. Like I think I've encountered 3 normal chests and 10 mimics. The element of surprise was lost at least five mimics ago.

Towards the end of the game you start getting more normal chests, which is a surprise by then I guess.

I haven't played SFZ do maybe it isn't that bad after all but games that required you to use both screens at once were always a bad idea on the DS, which is why they pretty much disappeared after the first wave of games, so it's weird to see a big Wii U game try and bring that back.
