What video game are you playing?

[BeauBenken]

ACamp speaking of replaying games, I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to the last of us again. It was hard to stomach. Funny how much I enjoyed it but how much I don't think I ever want to see that world again.

I thought the same, it's also a linear game so the replay value it's as strong as a sandbox... But it was a great game for that first time through.

That fucking ending, am I right? Just makes you upset.

Yep. When the credits rolled I thought "well that's incredibly depressing"

It mad me kinda pissed. I'd play a sequel for sure, I guess, but damn.

Spoiler warning so don't read this comment if you haven't played the game:


I really liked that they had him talk about his daughter for the first time in that last scene. Really made him look like a crazy, lonely old man. Caused my perception of him as a character to swing wildly at the end. Still not sure how I view him as a character, but know I feel bad for Ellie.

Yeah that was a good one... My fav single player game is still Red Dead though, that game just grabbed me, I've played through it twice and am thinking of hoping to pick it up again...

Hey Acamp, why can't I post on your wall anymore? It's like...gone.

I've probably replayed Red Dead more than any of Rockstar's other games. It's kind of fun just starting from scratch and making different choices during some missions, or being evil and killing more innocents on a different game file. I remember spending hours and hours trying to get the Mo van Barr wanted poster to show up in Armadillo so I could unlock the Deadly Assassin Outfit that came with my preorder...fucker would never show up, no matter what I did. Spent hours on that, then came to find out it was a bug. I ended up starting a new game file from scratch rather than wait for Rockstar to fix it.

I did find a neat little trick/glitch, don't know if Rockstar ever fixed it or not. You can get early access to West Elizabeth, which unlocks all kinds of fun goodies for you early in the game. It gets you access to some of the best guns, allows you to hunt high paying critters like bears and buffalo, you can tame an American Standardbred (Horse with the fastest top speed in the game), and plenty of other things. I put the tip up on Gamefaqs, looks like it's still there.

I think I'm gonna re purchase it... I'll look into it... My favorite game ever me thinks...

Red Dead Redemption is also a good way to put yourself in the mood for some Eastwood movies. Obviously the game itself is a homage to westerns, but much of the music was inspired by Ennio Morricone soundtracks in Sergio Leone's westerns.

Guild Wars 2 is 75% off this weekend (not sure for how long). $10 for digital heroic edition and $15 for Digital Deluxe Heroic something something edition. It's F2P and I've heard some good things about it, so I'm gonna check that out a bit.

RDR is probably one of my fav games of all time. soundtrack is amazing in its own right.

It is the best game of the last Gen I believe. Followed by The Last of Us.

As for the soundtrack, I have it. I don't recall exactly how or why I have it. But I believe it was included with the purchase of the game or DLC or something.

 

[ulukinatme]

I never played the Undead DLC for RDR, is it any good?

 

[IrishinSyria]

Yes.

 

[RyCo1983]

I never played the Undead DLC for RDR, is it any good?

Yeah, it's good. Not as pleasurable as the base game. But still a good time. UNICORNS! The 4 Horses of the Apocalypse are pretty nifty too.

 

[greyhammer90]

Dark Souls or the first Bioshock probably have my awards as best games of the last generation.

 

[IrishInFl]

I'm almost halfway through Mass Effect 3. Even when I get to the end, I still have several hours to play because of the online bullshit.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

My best games of the last 14 years: First Bioshock, First 3 Halos, Skyrim & Oblivion

Man, great games.

Destiny has already made the list for me.

One of the better Maddens in a long time. Game play is great, tweak a few minor things within Connected Franchises and it'll be phenomenal next year.

After playing it for a week or so... I agree, it's the best ever, such a step up from previous maddens... DL/OL interactions are vastly improved, fun and challenging, running game is improved, and franchise is great ,... everyone complains and the funds issue but it forces you to build from the draft for the first couple years which is realistic and fun...

I love cfb so i always enjoyed ncaa even when I recognized it wasn't a great game,... Madden never really did it for me... THIS madden is a legitimately great game, better than I expected.

 

[greyhammer90]

No Fallout? Fail.

I wouldn't include something that's unplayable without the first 5 patches. Fallout became a great game, but the release was a mess.

Been playing a lot of SSB4. Great game, if any of you have a Wii U let me know and we can play a few matches.

Defeated my first Man-O'-War in Black Flag last night on the open seas.

I got all jacked up to add that bad boy to my fleet. Did a touchdown dance in the living room.

Actually pretty bummed that I can't sail it myself, though. I'd love to light some fools up with that hosscat.

Final Fantasy X Remastered HD. I forgot how much I liked playing Blitzball! Great game.

yeah i finished ME3, great series, really enjoyed the whole story and the customization/story arc's

Blitzball was great. I remember spending countless hours researching and recruiting players for each position, teaching skills, all that jazz. I kept Keepa around for the simple fact that he goes from being an average goalie up till 90, to being a beast forward at 99. His shot skill goes from like...1 to 99 in just a few levels supposedly I never got that far, I ended up finishing the game and tossing it. The game was alright on it's own, but for me it wasn't as good as 4, 6, and 7.

I want more Metal Gear games.

I have the Solid trilogy on my Vita, about half way through SoL...

Awesome man! Wait until you start to go after the Legendary ships in the game. I remember I beat 3 of the 4 ships and then got stuck on the Legendary ship in the Northwest corner of the MAP. Its the one with the huge ram on the front of it. It took me probably 30 attempts before i finally beat it. I flipped my shit when i finally sunk that bastard!

Is anyone playing Destiny on PS4?
