Re: Games thread!
 

I'm thinking about ditching the Xbox (after 5 committed years) and switching to PS4.

Re: Games thread!
 

The last "new" game I played was Halo 4. Loved it.

Lately I've gone back to old reliable titles...Just Cause 2 is awesome for just hopping around and wrecking stuff. The dialogue is hilariously cheesy, but the sheer scale of the open environment is amazing.

I also started over on Splinter Cell: Conviction. I've been playing co-op with it for a while and my skills have improved. So I'm trying the campaign on harder settings. Plus it's the last SC game with Ironsides as Sam. :(

Re: Games thread!
 

Traded in a couple of games for Need For Speed: The Run. I love NFS: Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit, and finally decided to snag this. It's different, and harder -- but it's a bit addictive. Definitely glad I snagged it.

Re: Games thread!
 

Reserved "The Walking Dead" (the first one, not the second game with the guys from the actual show) through Redbox.com (which is a great way to save a crapload of money, IMHO). Played Episode 1 so far, and whereas it's not a fast, action-packed game, it's definitely a cool game to check out. I don't want to say too much as it would ruin the surprise and the gameplay for you -- but I recommend renting it if possible.

Re: Games thread!
 

Just returned the rental of The Last Of Us, which has been nothing short of fantastic. After my first time renting it, I was cursing it out. Apparently all I needed was to step away for a day and reconsider my plan of attack in one area.

The soundtrack is fantastic, the voice acting excellent, and it's probably the best "capture" of human interaction I've seen in a game -- less creepy than Heavy Rain. I suggest checking it out.

Re: Games thread!
 

I loved the Walking Dead, check out pages 91 & 92 for my takes on it.

Re: Games thread!
 

Anyone getting caught in the fever of the Steam summer sale? I picked up BioShock Infinite and Tomb Raider so far. It's making me crazy.

Re: Games thread!
 

Finished the story on Lego Batman 2 the other day, now giving it a break and have been playing Tomb Raider (Highly Recommended)

Re: Games thread!
 

Traded in a few games Tuesday and picked up Ni No Kuni -- not a big JRPG fan, but it got really good reviews so I thought I'd give it a shot. Slow to start, but it's picking up.

Also snagged the Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition, which has all the DLC -- the DLC makes it COMPLETELY worth it.

Re: Games thread!
 

Civilization 5 has consumed my soul.

Also - nice pickup on Fallout: NV. I have played through that game 3 or 4 times now. Love it!

Re: Games thread!
 

anybody try diablo 3 for consoles? had too crappy of a computer to use the pc version, I might go ahead and pick one up for ps3

Re: Games thread!
 

Currently:

Saints Row 4
Final Fantasy XIV. MMO Crack.

Finally got myself off of Skyrim after 673 hours logged. (ugh.)

Re: Games thread!
 

Played D3 on Xbox for about a week, I don't know why but it didn't grab me like it's predecessors, was good for a play through though, decent story for a Diablo game.

GTA 5 is awesome, the special abilities are great additions, the cars are 1000x better than any other GTA game, they look so much like real world cars they might as well have "Ford" or "Chevy" or "Bugatti" stamped on em. It's also a lot more graphic in other areas, so much so that I fully expect GTA 6 to have full on hardcore ****o scenes.

That said, some of the dialogue is stupid, especially in Franklin's early missions, I ended up muting the TV for most of them because I was just tired of hearing it.

Re: Games thread!
 

Yeah I got bored with it really fast. (PC). I definitely regret having dropped the cash on it.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'd bought Tomb Raider back on a steam sale (summer?) and finally played it through...

in two sittings. Awesome.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm not sure about Destiny. I looks really cool but I hear it's going to be a lot like WOW. I'm not sure if I want to get into a game that sucks you in like that. But it looks so cool.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm looking forward to any types games, I feel boring in the Fifa-14.

Re: Games thread!
 

Watching the wife play Witcher 2. It was 10 bucks on Xbox live.
Looks cool so far

Re: Games thread!
 

Finally got Battlefield 4 a few days ago (Xbox 360). Had some fun with some gameplay editing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut2tsF-8-q0

Re: Games thread!
 

Total War:Rome 2 has been my game of choice for the last few months. Haven't had a lot of time to play, but i've enjoyed it especially lately now that it has been patched to be playable :r

Re: Games thread!
 

Final Fantasy X HD got released.

I think my girlfriend is getting tired of me talking about sphere grids...

Re: Games thread!
 

Been playing GTA 5 for the last few weeks. Great game, especially playing as Trevor. He's like the embodiment of the past GTA games.

Stick of Truth will be next whenever I get bored of GTA.

Re: Games thread!
 

Stick Of Truth is fun and fairly short (from what I have been told, but well worth it).

I've heard the same. But since I've heard it's really short, I'm waiting until I see it under the $20 mark.

I think the REAL news right now is that goat simulator is finally out. We can all experience goatliness!

Re: Games thread!
 

ohai! I remember this place :-)

Been busy playing ESO (spectacular), Saints Row 2-3-4 (again and again and again) and for some reason I can't quite fathom...

WoW.

Re: Games thread!
 

Yeah. I smell summer Steam Sale.

The evil, evil WoW. The new interns at work caught wind of the fact that I used to play and are all encouraging me to start again.

BUT I KNOW THAT WoW IS DA DEBIL!

Re: Games thread!
 

I very nearly don't understand why I like it.

I've never been good. I've never done any raiding or endgame content. I've never gotten above level 60 or so. Hell, I never even group.

But it's just nice bubblegum for my brain every now and again.

I'd so much rather play EvE for the same effect, but you can't avoid the pvp nightmare of EvE.

Re: Games thread!
 

Watch Dogs? Thoughts?

I can't decide. I'm caught up in the hype train.

Re: Games thread!
 

I am not impressed with it. Played it for an hour, turned it off, went back to Rome 2.

I enjoyed it for a couple of hours.

...and haven't really played it since. It's just GTA5 with some basic hacking included, albeit very dumbed down hacking.

Not to mention on PC driving a car is hilariously bad. I have to switch to my 360 controller just to not feel drunk.

Re: Games thread!
 

Damn steam sale. *twitch* Bought a couple things not worth buying just 'cause of my itchy trigger finger. All the big name stuff that's going on sale is stuff I've already got.

I thought about picking up Metro. But...meh.

Re: Games thread!
 

while waiting for: Shadow of Mordor and Borderlands 1.5

I've ..uhm... been back to, erm...

Spreadsheets in space

(I KNOW I KNOW)


EDIT: Along with the few hours a week of Saints Row IV, which I always manage to get in.

Re: Games thread!
 

I liked Borderlands 1, never tried 2... might give that a shot.
Waiting on a reboot of an old old game I used to play on the C64 - Wasteland... to finish.

Re: Games thread!
 

I enjoyed the hell out of 2. But I did enough playthroughs early on that when they started spamming DLCs (and there are a LOT of them) I just got bored. The writing in 2 is a bit lackluster; a bit heavy on the beavis and butthead humor.

Nothing beat the DLCs from 1 though.

I'd say wait 'til it goes on sale on Steam for some ridiculous price.

Re: Games thread!
 

I did like a few of those DLCs... zombie islands and whatnot.
Is 1.5 coming out for the new consoles? I've been thinking about getting a new console but haven't seen a game which looks fun enough to pull the trigger.

Re: Games thread!
 

Not for the new ones. The homepage says 360 and PS3. They'll port it eventually, no doubt.

Re: Games thread!
 

Hey B/SOTL!

I am a huge WoW nerd, been at it since Vanilla :D

Looking forward to WoD coming out soon!

Re: Games thread!
 

I actually just re-upped on Friday. Logged in and found that last time I quit I deleted all my toons.

Re: Games thread!
 

haha, oops! Are they going to restore your toons or has it been to long? Also, what server?

Re: Games thread!
 

Nah. Just started over. 3 15s in a few hours.

I've actually no idea. Just a "new player" recommended low volume one. I don't guild generally, so it didn't matter.

Re: Games thread!
 

Gotcha! Well have fun in WoW brother! If you have questions feel free to PM me :D

Re: Games thread!
 

Low pop servers are a bad idea. Everything is expensive and gold is harder to make. High pop servers are best, but a good medium isn't bad either.

If anyone lands on Kil'jaeden, Horde obviously, and needs anything. Let me know, or if you're horde on any server...I can probably help you out quite a bit.

Re: Games thread!
 

Resident Evil Remake is out on PC tomorrow, I am excite.

Re: Games thread!
 

Anybody on here still on Xbox 360?

Re: Games thread!
 

I am. Still Xbox One-less.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm on both :banger

Re: Games thread!
 

Fallout 4 is being unveiled tomorrow, apparently. I'm so thrilled I think I peed a little. :D

Re: Games thread!
 

So excited, you're not the only one with a rusty zipper James.

Also, anyone on here getting TES online for xbox one?
