Agree with generational shift in difficulty in games over the years. It's largely done to increase the user base, and I actually worry about the influence of mobile game design on console. Just look at what Konami wants to do in the future, basically ditch console games altogether. I like being over powered and being rewarded for little effort every now and again, like Diablo 3 or God of War, and I actually had to seek out Tokyo Abyss. There aren't a lot of games out there like it actually. Hard games are still niche, and you're right again, I do actively look for hard games having grown up during early console era. 

As for sense8. I think that the  LGBT relationships represented on the show is putting a lot of people off from finishing it. Its basically a 12 episode soap opera that intersects with 8 peoples lives around the world, and there is one gay couple and one transgenered couple. Honestly, I think Rush Limbaugh would shoot himself after watching the opening credits, which feature two fat guys sharing kiss over an ice cream cone. 
Personally, the progressive themes don't bother me at all. I just kept an open mind and took it all in and in the end I really liked the characters and I felt like the story payed off in the end.  

I wouldn't minde seeing a new metroid like Super Metroid or Fusion, 2D style. Is Donkey Kong on 3DS at all? 

I didn't hate Cloud Atlus film at all. I just didn't think film was the right format for the novel. A TV Miniseries would have served the novel better. I can see that the Wachowskis are trying to do the same 'teleportation' trick in this new show (Sense8) and because they have 12 episodes to do it in, the TV format serves the story better. That and the fact that you can binge watch the whole thing makes it easier to follow, although it is a bit dense at the beginning, but like I said, I like challenging TV and games, etc.

Oh, well it's basically Wizardry with an Anime paint job! 

Actually me too, if I didn't already play it on PC. This is a game I was looking forward to on XBOX One.

I honestly think that the game gives you a lot of customization and gameplay value for what it's worth. It looks and sounds great on the VITA too. I'd wait for a sale and check it out. I'm enjoying it. 

Operation Abyss is very grindy, if you enjoy that sort of thing. Story wise, it's very text heavy with a lot of sci-fi mumbo jumbo and teenage drama. Basically, an Anime. 

Sense8 gets better after the first 3-4 episodes. A lot of people are complaining about the first episode being confusing and there being too much of an information, or lack of information dump. I would stick with it after a few episodes to get a better sense of it. It's kind of like a soap opera at times. Honestly, it has a very odd structure for a TV show.

Heroes of the Storm is not that hard to get into. It's probably the most casual MOBA out there, and I jumped into it after Infinite Crisis, that DC moba got cancelled. I haven't been watching on TV. I do love watching the X-Games, and I used to go to them when they were hosted here in Los Angeles. 

The way you describe Bloodborne makes it seem like a traditional JRPG, which tend to have more directed, guided gameplay experiences and that expect you to play a certain way as opposed to giving you more freedom to choose and experiment. Interesting. I've read criticisms like yours before, but I can't say because I've yet to own a PS4. 

I've heard mixed things about this game. I need to read a real good review to convince me to try it. Looks neat though.
