So I bought FIFA 15 and I haven't had time to play it... finally got around to it and it's easily the best FIFA yet as far as gameplay and presentation goes... very impressed... though I don't believe they touched Manager Mode much and the international tourney's still suck and the MLS is still completely neglected.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
And I also hope it doesn't turn out to be a huge disappointment.

On the failing handheld note, I played my PS4 via my Vita on remote play for the first significant time the other day... man that's an impressive feature...
and obviously handhelds can be saved as the Vita went from completely dead to selling nicely over the last year.

What I really want... (not that it'll happen) is a Brother in Arms/Call of Duty... Normandy to Berlin WWII shooter for the current gen. We haven't had a good WWII shooter in a while and i would love to see one with these graphics...

Ditto this, I loved brothers in arms but switch COD with Battlefield and I would be onboard. I used to be the biggest COD fanboy and then there was Ghosts......needless to say I'm obsessed with BF4, even with all of its flaws it's still way better than COD. Destiny is awesome to IMO, didn't live up to the hype but still a fun game. Also the Masterchief Collection is coming out next month, can't wait! Evil within looks pretty fun and scary, plus you can't forget about Shadows of Mordor, insanely brutal game!

I agree. I would love to see a WWII game that give you free reign to travel through large maps of Europe. I'm not exactly interested in the old Medal of Honor formula, where you play 18+ different corridor map levels that load individually. But a game where maybe they have 3 or 4 large city maps where you have to regain control and then 2 or 3 huge open European countryside maps. I would play the hell out of a game like that.

I'd do either, I do think someone is working on a sand lot WWII shooter game but the premise sounds strange, you are behind enemy lines and have to forage for everything… rather than actually taking part in large scale battles and such.

I'm really, really disappointed with this game. I borrowed it from my friend and I just found the game to be a wannabe Assassins Creed game in Middle EARTH. The combat was really basic. The AI wasnt designed very well, and it was a really easy game. It was a gorgeous game, visually, but overall I wasnt that impressed with it.

The Elite Sniper 3 game is kinda like a sandbox WWII game. Its 3rd person which is cool. The maps in that game were just ok though.

I'm actually enjoying Outlast more that I thought i would... even better that it was free...
Actually, the two games I've played most lately, Outlast and War Thunder, both free on my PS4... pretty cool (Although i think W.T. is free regardless).

I just remember reading about it a while back and it was being sold as more of a sand box... I've never played it myself and didn't even know it came and went until today.

I cant decide if I want to get Far Cry 4 right away... or just wait until it drops in price. With Far Cry 3, I played my buddies copy and got maybe 5 hours in and then never touched it again. Then in May 2014, I bought it for $20 and beat the game. It was awesome. But I definitely didnt need to buy that game at full price. FC4 looks like it has the potentail to be something special though.

I've created a custom Everquest server, it is currently listed in EQEmu, but I am not ready to have ppl connect to it quite yet. It is up and running and playable, but all the rules and conditions are all set to default. I am still doing some custom development to make the game more enjoyable.
I'm adjusting stat caps, and some DPS scaling to make the server 'solo' friendly without making the content trivial. I am adjusting other properties in the game with the intent of making an enjoyable experience without having to spend hours and hours to level up a powerful character. I've got custom merchants, teleporters, and quest givers so far.....
I know next to no one plays EQ anymore (except me and a few nerd friends of mine) But once my server is ready anyone is welcome to play (best part about it, its free).
My current *working title* of the server is "Envy of the Irish". The name will most likely change once I 'go live' which should be in less than a week or so.

Holy crap dude, thats some super technical stuff. I read about how someone brought back Star Wars Galaxys on a private server. Im amazed at the people that can do this stuff. And even more impressive, its usually just a hobby. Nice Job

Im playing two right now. Both equally awesome, one for the little things and the other for its epic scale.
Assetto Corsa, it's a racing simulator being developed by 15 Italian guys working in an office overlooking ACI Vallenuega Circuit in Italy. It's incredibly realistic and rewarding.
(Skip to 4:00 or so)

Elite: Dangerous, It's a Space Sim that includes every single one of the ~450 million star systems in the Milky Way. They're all available to go to via incredibly detailed work and the magic of procedural generation.
Awesome.

Couple these with Phish fall tour and I'm in dork heaven.

I get what you are saying, that's what I thought as well before I played it (wannabe assassins creed) but it really isn't. I mean assassins creed can't have a monopoly on RPGs that you can climb structures and fight multiple enemy's can it? After putting more hours in this game I find it less and less like AC. I love the AC series btw so idk why that would be a negative comparison, but it's the untold story of how the one ring was forged, any LOTR fanboy would be missing out if they didn't play. I'm curious to know if you finished the game because the fighting became very difficult towards the end when hordes of Orcs with poison tipped spears pile on you. IGN reviewed it at a 9.3 which is the highest rated major release game to come out in over a year (excluding remakes like the last of us and Minecraft). Does it have its flaws like any other game, sure, but it's still a great game IMO that I had loads of fun playing

The biggest complain I've heard about Shadows is that the game is pretty short.

Going retro~
FF IV on PC (it's basically the DS version, but on your PC, thus for me 42" TV).
It's making me super nostalgic for the old Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior in US) games.
My boy, Taloon the arms merchant.
I know everyone wants a remake of FF VII in a modern graphics engine (that would be so fucking sweet; 2017 is the 20th anniversary), but I was really hoping when Square and Enix merged that the Dragon Quest series would get some remake love as well.. not as in a Nintendo DS face-lift, an honest to God remake. I'd take Dragon Quest, but a Dragon Quest IV remake would rock my world (2nd favorite RPG of all time, to DUH if you know the genre) since the 2001 PS1 remake never made it out of Japan.
With the graphical capabilities of the current generation of consoles I don't see why a FF VII, Chrono Trigger or Dragon Warrior remake wouldn't make business sense. I bet they'd bring in a TON of money (especially in Japan), but that may be too much to ask for since it's all one company (Square-Enix) with finite resources.
