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?
need to finish Breath of the Wild  
UConn4523 : 12/15/2017 8:37 am : link
then onto Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
I am 36  
BronxBombers : 12/15/2017 8:39 am : link
so....
Glad that you enjoyed Horizon  
Metnut : 12/15/2017 8:40 am : link
it was a great game. Combat was really tight, landscapes were beautiful
and the main story was interesting.

I’m playing South Park the Fractured but Whole. Lots of fun. If you like the show pick it up. It’s like an interactive 25 hour South Park episode. Often laugh out loud funny. Combat reminds me of the old Lunar games.

After South Park onto Mario Oddyssey and Xenoblade 2.
Bioshock 1 is good. Goes off the rails and jumps the shark

Agreed. Bioshock 1 is a masterpiece but 2 was Meh and 3 was interesting but got stale pretty quick. I'd really only recommend the first one.

I wasn't a huge fan of 2, but 1 is in my top 5 games of all time, and I thought Infinite stood as a pretty damn good game.

I just got my own PS4 (stopped using my roommates) and have the following games:

Destiny
Destiny 2
Titanfall 2
The Last of Us
Uncharted 4
NHL 17
Madden 18
Deus Ex
Mortal Kombat X
Doom

I've already played some of these games (TLOU is my fav game ever, but I needed my own copy), but the ones I've been playing recently for the first time ever are Doom, Destiny 2, and Titnafall 2

Titanfall 2's multiplayer is awesome, and has been the thing that has risen to the top to get me hooked. Destiny 2 is a lot of fun with friends, but holy shit that game can get repetitive. Doom is a lot of fun as well - it's very old school and I love seeing the brutal kills.

Thinking about getting GTAV or Watchdogs 2 next. Might play Uncharted 4 for the first time all the way through first though.

Anything put out by Naughty Dog is going to be a classic game. Agreed about TLOU. I'd definitely play through the Uncharted Series if I were you.

Destiny 2  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 12/15/2017 9:08 am : link
I've stopped playing. I played it for about a month, so much has changed from Destiny 1. I don't agree with the microtransactions (tess eververse). There's really no incentive to keep playing that game. Disappointment, IMO.
I just started Wolfenstein The New Colassus last night.  
Brown Recluse : 12/15/2017 9:18 am : link
Didnt get very far but it seems like it will be pretty fun. After that I’m gonna give the new Assassins Creed a try.

I have Nier:Automata a try and it was fun for a bit but I got tired of the bland environment and the typical cheesy voice acting that you always have in eastern games.

The games I’m really excited about - Red Dead Redemption, God of War, Far Cry 5 - are still so far off that I dont really have anything I’m looking forward to in the near future.

I was actually going to start a thread about the new Monster Hunter World thats coming out next year. The beta has gotten great reviews and it looks cool but I’ve never played a Monster Hunter game. Is there an actual story involved or is it just killing monsters and collecting loot? I feel like I’d get bored going on all of these monster hunts with no real purpose.

Just finished South Park  
bLiTz 2k : 12/15/2017 9:32 am : link
absolutely great game if you enjoy the show, just wish it was longer. I wish Destiny 2 would have held my interest longer but they totally botched that game and the community is in uproar...may go back to the Division. Gotta say Ubi’s post launch support for their games has been impressive..Ea should take notes.

Do you think I should play 1-3 first or just jump into 4?

I started 4 but got frustrated on an easy puzzle I just wasn't getting and stopped playing (only like an hour in). At this time I didn't own my own PS4 (though I bought the game to play on my roommates), and now that I have my own I'm thinking about giving it another go, especially considering how much I love TLOU

I'd say play the first 3 beforehand. Really tells the story of Drake and sets the tone for the 4th game. The puzzles can be quite tricky, but they get easier as they are a bit repetitive throughout the series. Great series. You won't be disappointed.

Theres still a pretty good player base on PC, not sure about any of the consoles. I also have a cpl buddies that play so that makes it pretty fun to run through the PVP areas and do the new mini raids. My biggest gripe was that the game didn't scale your party very well if someone was underpowered, so youd have to spend time grinding that person in order to play with them...but I believe they fixed it in the latest content update.

for about a few weeks. After leveling up so much I didn't see the reason to keep playing. The fact that the game came out coming up on 2 years ago and they are still giving it updates means that there is enough people playing still.

Titanfall 2's campaign is EXCEPTIONAL. Well worth playing.

I'm back to For Honor after I abandoned for 6 months or so due to the terrible matchmaking issues. They've fixed much of it. It's a really fun melee-style "shooter" game.
I played a ton of the Division from release on  
Moondawg : 12/15/2017 12:04 pm : link
I loved the whole idea of the dead zone in the middle of the city that was a lawless area. But two things make it stop being fun.

1. A lack of genuine pvp.
2. The completely tired and cheap "bullet sponge" way they made enemies tougher. It's supposed to be a realistic style Tom Clancy game, and you have to shoot a bad guy 10 times in the face with a shotgun to bring him down? Dumb.

Depends on your style of game. What makes the game so fun and simultaneously so frustrating (as Moon alluded to), is that it's moreso a game of player combinations, team synergy and countering than outright skill.

For instance, you may be a wonderful Winemaker (sniper character), but that may not be what the team or situation calls for. Too often, the other players on the team simply don't understand this and you and up wasting your time getting hammered.

If you have it for PS4, let me and Moondwg know and we will group of together and show you the ropes.

I have an Xbox One and go months without even turning it on - just don't have the time.

I've been itching to play older Madden versions though... like 2007/8 for regular Xbox. Is there a way to do that on the Xbox One yet?

I thought I read that they were working on making the OG Xbox games backwards compatible but only some and not others.

I can't get into these newer versions of Madden. It takes like 50 hours just to play a fucking game if you want to start a season. All the front office shit. game plan training, management, etc... I get that they're trying to create a super-immersive experience, I just don't have time for it.

I miss the arcadey, simpler versions of the past.

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.

but if you're over 30 and have a job and a family - how do you find the time to play video games? I have absolutely no chance to play video games all day - and I work from home.

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.
This is the part where

Bronx tells everyone how affluent he is and what a wonderful life he leads? You know, sitting on BBI picking fights with strangers after he s dug up a 3 day old thread.

Can we be you? Please?

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

Hey, playing video games is great for older people, you know?

Can Playing Super Mario 64 Increase Grey Matter in the Brain, and Help Delay the Onset of Alzheimer's?

Been playing video games since Pong, and I'm still rocking my Homebrew original Wii, which runs all sorts of game emulators for other systems. Also still doing a lot of older PC games, with Hexen, Wolfenstein and Doom/Doom3 mods. Also playing around with Steam and GOG, may even buy some indie stuff/Humble Bumble packs when I retire!

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.

Me too. But I play with friends and we generally have a good time. It's a really fun game to play with people. Do you play on PC?
i've got it made with my wife  
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.

How is that game? I kinda got burnt out on that series after Unity. Haven’t played Syndicate although I have it. I still say Black Flag is the best game of the series. I’ll probably pick up that game when it hits $20

Sometimes my kids use my account so send a message, and if I'm on I will respond. If not, don't take offense, it's them playing.


Sent you a request. Popped in overwatch this morning. Played with soldier76. Pretty addicting so far.

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.
