I think sizes are different depending from where you're located, I am from EU, so size 12 is different than size 12 in another country. How much different? Not sure, but I have been informed I have massive feet

Out of all the sales I've only picked up the Borderlands 3 season pass (which sadly wasnt on sale) and then Control but I plan to wait until last day of the sales to snatch up anything.
Im a bit upset I bought Control though, really not what I was expecting and not something "game of the year worthy." Also it has one of the worst maps in a game I've ever played, I have no idea what Im looking at when I open it.
Has anyone picked up any games or items during the Holiday Sales? I've picked up a lot of games, like:
Batman Arkham Trilogy
FIFA 20
Amne… moresia Collection
State of Decay 2
The Outer Worlds
Borderlands 3
Not intended to be a form of bragging, just wanted to share what I got, what did you guys get?
I bought Crysis 2 and Alien vs Predator 2010 since they were on sale. As a gift, I got Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and Killing Floor 2.
I'm a little upset that I got Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. Not because I hate EA, it's because this game is full of technical issues, I encountered a lot of bugs, glitches, long load times and pre-rendered textures. The game itself is fun so far, it's not like Fallout 76 broken but I cannot enjoy it if I just keep facing those little issues. I'm playing it on the original PS4 version. I dunno how it is like in other consoles or PC. They should have polished the game more.

Good thing I came across this then. I was looking at getting it for myself on the PS4 since it's on sale. Guess I'll settle for Death Stranding instead.
Yeah, definitely avoid Jedi Fallen Order for now. As much as I want to recommend this game, I think it's better to wait until it gets a patch or an edition version that fixes everything. I hope Respawn doesn't leave it like this.
It's a real shame because this game is pretty good, best Star Wars game since the days of LucasArts. I'm almost finished with the story.

Well, for Christmas this year I got a new backpack, two Lego sets (one pretty big), a few gift cards to various places, and some clothes as usual.
I don't know if they know the Guardians are my favourite group, but OMG THEY GOT ME THE BENATAR!
Fun fact, according to the back of the big box, this set's escape pod can connect to the bigger spaceship.
As for games I've picked up over the month/this holiday season:
Tom Clancy's The Division (2016)
Saints Row IV Re-Elected
SuperHot: MIND CONTROL DELETE Early Access Expansion
and thanks to Xmas gift cards, I just got Death Stranding today. It was on sale for 50$ CAD, which is a great price for a big new game only a month old. Got the last copy at my local Best Buy, too.
I just finished playing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. Here are my thoughts:
This game is pretty....ok. I don't hate it but I don't love it either. Is it the best Star Wars game since the days of Lucasarts? Yes. Is it one of the best of 2019? I'm not certain. Is it enjoyable? Definitely.
The best description that I could give this game is: Dark Souls meets Uncharted, meets God of War and meets Sekiro Shadows Die Twice. This game wasn't actually inspired, it's full of copy and paste mechanics from better games. It feels so unoriginal. I don't think I should be surprised because this was published by EA after all. It borrows:
Checkpoints with respawning enemies from Dark Souls
Climbing system from Uncharted
Exploration environment from God of War
Challenging combat from Sekiro Shadows Die Twice (I'm not really sure about this cause both were in development at the same time and were released in the same year. It's pretty similar because it tells you to have good reflexes. Not to mention, the final boss gave me so much trouble. I died more than 7 times)
The story itself is pretty decent. I love the fact that Cal, the main PC, is played by the same actor who played Joker in the Gotham show. Which is, in fact, the mirror opposite of Mark Hamill's career, played a Star Wars Jedi character, then moved to DC animated universe to play Joker. Cal is a pretty interesting character but he is not very special. He is just like every Jedi who survived Order 66. Hiding and mourning for everyone he lost and cared about. But I still prefer this story over The Sequel Trilogy because it has a much better Star Wars feel to it. Also, I loved that twist moment at the end of the game. If you loved that famous scene from Rogue One movie, you will love this one.
The biggest problem I have with this game is definitely how unoptimized the game is. As I said above, I played on my original PS4 version and I encountered a lot of frame drops, bugs, pre-rendered textures, long-ass load times and my game definitely crashed once. I REALLY want to replay this game but I can't if I just keep facing those problems. Who the hell playtested this game?
Would I recommend this game? Yes but (Correct me if I'm wrong) I would definitely warn you to avoid playing it on a console. I think it's better if you play it on PC with the best system requirements. Overall, I'm glad I checked this game but I don't think it was worth all the cancellation of Star Wars games in the last decade.

I got the Season Pass through the Super Deluxe Edition, it's unfortunate they didn't lower the price for the standalone pass.
About Control, what is it even like, I've heard some great things about it, and also caught wind of the Game of The Year worthy statements through others, but from what you've played of it, how would you rate it? And about the map, what's the issue with it? Is it all jumbled up?

Nice, as long as you enjoy them, that is what matters. Personally I am not a fan of the Star Wars brand, it just isn't for me, I've heard good things about Jedi Fallen Order, but like you and iFoRias said, it suffers from several technical issues, some of which are absolutely priceless.
A lot of glitches can go under the radar during development, say if they delayed it for a couple of months, those glitches could've been ironed out. Hopefully a patch drops and you can play without any hassle. Also, while you wait, why not have a laugh at some Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order glitches in the video below?

Saints Row IV Re-Elected is a blast to play through, but I wish they would go back to their roots and have gang warfare. Good news is Saints Row V is deep in development, and according to a Saints Row oriented channel on YouTube, they got to play a segment of it, and they were very pleased with it, so hopefully, fingers crossed, we will go back to gangs

If those mechanics worked in those games, there's no harm in carrying them over to your own game, they aren't exclusive to a developer who implemented them first

Nice, I received some adidas clothes, along with some clothes from a brand called 11º, they are a brilliant brand! Also got some new shoes, they are size 12 I think? Got some gift cards for clothes, and that's about it.
I havent finished Control yet but the problem is I dont really know if I even want to finish it.
Overall its level design is pretty bad and its confusing where to go because everything looks the same, which would be fine if it had a map that made a little sense but because its the most jumbled up map I've ever seen it doesnt really help other than knowing if I should go up left right down which isnt very helpful when the whole game is mostly hallways.
Also not digging the story. Its one of those stories where it purposely keeps you in the dark, but it really just makes me not care. Its a story that makes you feel like you are missing the plot, not as in its too complicated to understand, but as in the story purposely throws you in to what feels like the middle so you have no clue whats going on even if youre paying attention, and I cant stand stories like that because it doesnt feel clever in anyway, it just feels like Im missing the parts of the story so it becomes just a little bit understandable. I love complex narratives but doing them in this way ruins it for me as it just does it to build up to the twist that I wont care about because I have no investment in the story because the story gave me nothing to get invested in.
Gameplay is easily the best part though, but sadly the overall weak story imo and bad level design kinda kills it.

About Contr… moreol, what is it even like, I've heard some great things about it, and also caught wind of the Game of The Year worthy statements through others, but from what you've played of it, how would you rate it? And about the map, what's the issue with it? Is it all jumbled up?
The main problem is that the mechanics were way too obvious. Especially the checkpoints with a reset option, it makes everyone who played or heard of Dark Souls go "Wow, this is so Dark Souls-ish". It isn't like The Last of Us whose third person over-the-shoulder camera was inspired by Resident Evil 4 because TLOU has a much different feel than having the same mechanic with just a different theme.
I'm not necessarily saying it's a bad thing but it makes me feel EA wants to earn forgiveness by just looking at games that people love the most and use them to make a combination of the beloved projects to earn their audience back. I'm not letting them fool me more than twice.

Checkpoints with respawning enemies from Dark Souls
dark souls did not invent, nor popularize this. this was a thing in many different forms since the ps2.
Climbing system from Uncharted
uncharted did not invent the climbing system it uses. yes, it popularized and perfected it, but it did not create the trend.
Exploration environment from God of War
yeah, every zelda game, resident evil game, silent hill game and spyro game didn't happen before god of war i guess. two whole devil may cry games, 3 whole jak games and shadow of the colossus didn't happen before god of war. exploration in environments was invented in march of 2005 as we all know.
Challenging combat from Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
*******WHEEEEEZEEEE*********
frankly i'm not even mad you shit all over jedi: fallen order because of your anti-EA bias, i haven't even played the game yet and frankly i have no interest. it's more the complete lack of respect for gaming history that makes me sad boy hours

I don't view EA in the best of light, but perhaps Respawn, the developer, examined aspects of critically acclaimed titles, and wanted to fit them into their game? You don't have to credit that to EA, credit it to Respawn.
But, in all fairness, EA should be given some amount of credit for letting Respawn have control over what Jedi Fallen Order is and was to become, rather than demand it be a live-service, pay-to-win product like other titles under the EA umbrella.
Like I said previously, mechanics aren't exclusive to a developer, everyone is free to use them, even EA, despite their rather terrible reputation.

I think sizes are different depending from where you're located, I am from EU, so size 12 is different than size 12 in another country. How much different? Not sure, but I have been informed I have massive feet
Oh, I live in the US.

Oh yeah, that came out a few weeks ago.
