NFT: Video Game Thread- Whatcha playing?

LawrenceTaylor56 : 12/15/2017 8:34 am
With winter being here, this is usually the most time I try to tackle my backlog. Just finished Horizon Zero Dawn. Great, great game. Probably my game of the year.

Thinking about starting up Bioshock collection next. Anyone play that?

I'm telling you, Ultimate Team seems completely refreshed this year with the daily objectives and squad battles.

I packed Griezmann early on and then Gamiero and Jordi Alba in the same pack, so I'm playing with La Liga and doing pretty well.

I like the fact I can get coins on squad battles if I know I'm not going to have time on the weekend to try and qualify for the weekend tourney.

stalking? hardly..i read this board because i am a giants fan, i merely said i dont play video games, because i am not a kid, i have kids, and prefer they dont either. i prefer less laziness and mountain dew, and more climbing trees and playing sports.

go sit on a boner.

So you were 16 in 1997? You didn't own a playstation or N64?

video games really isnt a kids only thing anymore



correct, 36...video games are for kids and those who cannot hit, kick, catch, or throw a ball. get off the couch.



What do you call a 36 year old who hates video games stalking a video game thread and bitching about it to people they’ve never met?

Yeah I like FUT better than I remember in the past. The gameplay is smoother and closer to the regular offline gameplay.

Wow Griezmann is a hell of a find. That's someone to build around and then some.

I've built up Deportivo as my squad. They were cheap to start, and I figure I'll use them to build up something bigger. I want to construct a team based on a 5 man back line and a strong strike partnership...I've tried 4 man back lines and I'm finding the through balls are too effective against them.

Being incredibly anal about this stuff I've used all my club deletions, so I've got to make this one work and accept the fact that every detail is not going to be perfect from the outset.

Why would video games have a stigma when some of the highest rated TV shows sound, based on their ads, like they were written by people with gills?

Is watching NCIS or Blue Bloods really any better than playing a video game?

Anyone play Fallout or Skyrim VR yet?

I just got back into Fallout after getting a new 4K TV and XBox One X, and the graphical update to 4K on the game makes it look beautiful. Been looking forward to the VR titles for awhile, it looks incredible.

I'll play after everyone is in bed. Definitely not as much as I used to but if its a really good game I'll just stay up late and deal with being tired.

When my kid go to bed and my wife wants to watch a TV show that I have no interest in. I don't get into TV series.

Or when I have some down time on the weekend and the wife is out and the kid is napping especially in the winter. I game a lot less spring-fall when the weather is nicer

My wife thinks reading is one of the only leisure pursuits that is valid. any other activity is a waste of time. So, if it is 10PM and she's in bed asleep and I'm playing XBox, she'll say something every now and then about it just being a waste of my time and energy, but if she's reading a book from 8-9:30 it is expanding her mind and intellect.

UConn4523 : 12/20/2017 8:51 am : link
she still buys me games and asks if I want time for myself to play. That usually means she wants to watch a show for her own alone time but that certainly works for me.

My girlfriend is a bit like that. She reads constantly and doesn't really understand the video game thing. But she loves me, so she tolerates it.

Sometimes I wish she "got it" but when I think about it, it's fine. We don't need to do everything together, it's actually probably better that we have interests outside of our commonalities.

As for time... I play after she goes to bed. Definitely not as much as I used to, but it's enough.

Assassins Creed Origins

Pretty good. I think they stopped trying to over do everything at this point and even with the last game, it was a better produced game. It seems to me like a very very "thick" game which much to do. I feel as if I've been playing it forever and I'm not even 20% of the game through so my one friend says. I don't know maybe it seems longer because I beat South Park in such a short time.

These games are very aesthetically well done.
