Just finished Dishonored and its DLC. Clean Hands through the main storyline with Corvo and then high chaos with Daud. High chaos was much more fun, but you get a shitty ending.

Still recommend it, though. Great game.

My PS3 has been off for 3 months...
I still want to get The Last of Us and call it a career.

I've been playing around on the PC quite a bit, lots of different games with some guys I used to play SWG with back in the day. We're waiting for Star Citizen to release it's first module, we were all Imperial Pilots in SWG so it's kind of a new home for us.

Heres what I've been into:
SWG Emu
Rust
Guns of Icarus
Mech Warrior Online
War of the Roses

I just have no desire to play. Haven't enjoyed it for awhile.

Can't believe it's happening...

I went through that in college. Stopped enjoying playing at all. Take some time away from it until you see a game that really interests you come on the market. I didn't play anything for a year, decided to play something one day and was amazed at how much fun I was having.

The Last of Us is awesome. There's something about attaching scissors to the end of a 2x4 that makes me smile.

Has anyone yet played South Park on PS3?

The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite are the last two PS3 titles that I'm really looking forward to playing, but I'm waiting for all the DLC to come out so I can buy the complete games for ~$30 on Amazon.

What is your gaming schedule like for people that work full time?

My GF does not currently live in Ohio and I have no kids, so it's pretty easy for me to play for a couple of hours per night, and almost anytime on the weekend.

Whiskey, I don't know how you do it. You have about a dozen kids who are all under 4, work more than full time I'd imagine, and are married, yet you're a damn specimen at Skyrim.

I'm starting to think you've found a way to manipulate time!

Started off brilliant but so overrated. Not nearly as smart as it thinks it is and is honestly kind of insulting by the end, because it really doesn't make any sense at all. Also the racism is cartoonish and PG-13 at worst which kills the point (no one ever says the n-word in the entire game, a game that's supposed to take place in a overtly racist society. Ok.) All the talk that this game was supposed to be a showcase of "how far video games have come as a medium and an art form" is terrible.

Also, as a video game, the gameplay is sort of blah. This was largely the case in the first bioshock, but it's worse here.

Four kids age 5 and younger, but close enough. Yay NFP!

My oldest two won't stay in bed unless I camp out close enough to hear their shenanigans. So I occasionally get an hour to play while I wait for them to fall asleep. That's not nearly enough, though, so I sometimes research on lunch breaks to maximize dominance during my limited gaming time. #dadlife

I agree that the plot is a little pretentious, and the game itself was definitely overrated (which has more to do with the hype than the quality of the product.) But the graphics are gorgeous, and I've always enjoyed the core mechanics (weapon + plasmid/vigor). At this point in my gaming "career", Action/ RPGs are probably my favorite genre-- fun, immersive, and (most importantly) easy to pick up and put down.

Whatever time I get to play is in lieu of sleep. Kids in bed at 9, wife in bed at 11, 11pm-7am game time/sleep time. I get about 5 hours of sleep per night. Priorities fellas.

Watch Dogs looks great, it was the game that got me seriously thinking of getting a PS4...

now i have one, but as discussed earlier my gaming time is kind of limited so I am REALLy selective with story based games... maybe 2 a year if that... so i most likely won't get WD... we shall see...

all over my castlevania games on vita before bed while the wife watches Triple D on food net... and all over MLB The Show... still madden a lil bit

For future games I'm looking forward to the new FIFA and NHl on PS4

I still haven't picked up the PS4 yest. But i am going to get one next week when watch dogs comes out. My birthday is coming up in early june. So i figure what the heck, i deserve it.

I'm pumped for E3. It's just way too much fun having all of these massive game reveals in like a 3 day span.

Metal Gear 5 Ground Zero.

For any MG fans, it has a really cool new shooting feature, where when an enemy spots you, before it sounds the alarm, you go into slow-mo for 5 seconds and you have a change to shoot him before the alarm's sounded.

Other than that, it's very much like Peace Walker, which I did not enjoy. I like the old school MG series with the intense story modes. MG is my favorite game series ever by a mile, and I'm disappointed in this episode.

I liked the first MGS, and Sons of Liberty... but I really wish the magic and super human aspects of the series weren't there... kind of defeats the purpose of a series built on true to life espionage and tactical stealth operations… took away from the realism to me...

still a good series though.

I understand what you're saying, but I really liked they Metal Gear Solid (PS1) villians even though they were partially super human. Psycho Mantis was always my favorite character of all time.

Did anyone catch the reveal of AC UNITY during E3? I personally cannot wait for that game. It looks amazing.
