What video game are you playing?

[blueNDgold44]

Ah I wish. I'm on XB1. I still have little to no clue what I'm doing.

I can do the basics, like pass, cross, play a through ball, control my shot for finesse, etc., but I don't have any idea about alignments or actual strategy. It put me on semi-pro settings after the introduction game lol.

I don't have much interest in running a club, but I tried it and had no idea what to do in terms of scouting and whatnot.

I picked it up super cheap mainly to play with friends and maybe online here and there, but I need to get better before subjecting myself to the mercy of internet peoples.

Play FUT. Most fun game mode IMO.

 

[ACamp1900]

Haha, FUT is the worst thing to ever happen to video games, everyone does the fantasy style card collection stuff now, developers spend way too much time on those modes IMO,... Just not my cup of tea at all

 

[Cackalacky]

Been playing the Lego games with the kids. Most of them are pretty well done. I enjoy them as much as they do

 

[ACamp1900]

Star Wars was awesome, haven't enjoyed any as much since, the new Jurassic park one is pretty bad IMO... We still have the Star Wars one tho, play it every now and then

 

[tussin]

RIP Iwata.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Found this the other day in the basement. Still enjoyable

 

[ACamp1900]

We still play that from time to time on Wii Arcade... the graphics were still good for it's time... such a great game... there are a few levels in that one that you can seriously smash your controller rage quit style though...

RIP Iwata.

Really sad and unexpected.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

I remember the hype for this when it came out. Just a great game. Nintendo really had there stuff together in the 90's.

This. I haven't played many of the others, but I did add the LotR/Hobbit Lego games to my Steam library, as well as the Marvel game. I played through the LotR one and it was okay, but certainly not as fun as the Star Wars ones, those definitely were excellent. I'm looking forward to playing the Star Wars ones with my kids once they're older.

 

[ACamp1900]

The Indiana Jones one was pretty decent from what I played... though I didn't get all that far into it.

My daughter and I play the Lego games. Just finished story mode on Batman 3 yesterday. I finished South Park:Stick of Truth on Friday. That was hilarious.

Alien: Isolation dawgs:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uqmlNjPWNXA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Among the scariest I've ever played. Totally nailed the feel of the movies, except the alien is pretty much immune to your guns.

Picked this up after you mentioned it. I've got a growing collection of games that I still need to play/beat, not to mention another 8 or 9 games coming out soon that I'll want, but I was excited to pick this up and give it a whirl after reading about how different the game is.

I've got a question for you Destiny peeps out there:

I almost picked up Destiny instead of Alien: Isolation to be my time sink for the next few weeks, but decided to wait for The Taken King to drop.

Should I go all-out and get the Legendary Edition of Destiny: The Taken King, or should I just buy a cheap copy of Destiny and then buy the add-on?

 

[IrishLion]

Just read an article about how NCAA Football '16 normally would have been released yesterday, and how tonight is the final night for athletes from '03-'13 to come forward and claim their settlement. It went on to discuss that EA hasn't officially killed the idea of bringing the franchise back.

I wish they would make the game again, and just make the rosters completely random and generic, but keep the "edit" function for names, physical traits and attributes available for fans to mess with. Problem solved, right?

 

[ACamp1900]

One would think,... It's coming back at some point, in some form, it's far to large of a market to be left alone for good...

Sounds right to me. If they were smart that's what they would have done in the first place.

I would just buy the original game now and play through the main story line first. If you like it, then go back and buy all of the expansions. Its the definition of a "grindy game" so if your not sure if you will like that I wouldn't recommend buying all of the expansions day 1. And by "grindy" I mean, you will literally spend hours leveling up gear, weapons, etc... I have over 10 days of gameplay between my 3 characters on that game and I still dont have everything collected or completely upgraded.

At this point, I would even settle for a new-gen NCAA Football game that doesn't present the ability to edit rosters. I enjoy the game the most when I start with a crappy team and build them up, so the base rosters don't matter after 5 seasons anyway.

Playing Assassin's Creed III. Seen Xbox advertising it for $10 so I thought why not. First AC game I've ever played. The game is amazing and really screwing up my time for advancing in the GoT books.

I have not played ACIII, but I have played ACII. Probably my favorite game of all time. The visuals and ability to explore Renaissance-era Italy is just unreal.

 

[ACamp1900]

I got AC3 for Christmas a couple years back, never got past the first ten minutes or so, just never grabbed me like AC2 did. Which is odd since I like the colonial era as a typical rule.

Age of Empires III online?

 

[ACamp1900]

Only played Age of Empires 2 and loved it, in fact I still play it from time to time.

(When I say I love that era I mean in terms of reading and history, not specific to gaming).

 

[ulukinatme]

I only played the first Assassin's Creed game. It was fun at first, but it got very repetitive with the constant climbing and the combat felt too easy or felt kind of bland/vanilla.

Saw a trailer for the new one and was very interested in checking it out, not sure why. It just looked badass.

As far as Age of Empires II, it was and still is a great game.

 

[Henges24]

Played Age of Empires since the very first one. Talk about an addicting game. I don't know how many there are now or if they still make them but I played up until III. Last summer I downloaded all of the expansions packs for it.

In 2008, Microsoft announced they were closing down Ensemble Studios following the completion of Halo Wars. Some of its employees would form a new team as part of Microsoft Studios.[40] Kevin Unangst, director of Games for Windows, denied it was the end of the Age of Empires series, telling The San Francisco Chronicle "we're very excited about the future potential for Age of Empires".[41] Edge confirmed, in an interview with Microsoft's corporate vice president of interactive entertainment, Shane Kim, that Microsoft continued to own Age of Empires and that they had plans to continue the series.[42] However, Bruce Shelley wrote in his blog that he would not be part of any new studios formed.[43][44]

You know what surprises me with the whole NCAA Football thing... that some PC version of the game isn't out there with mass mods for the playoff system and such...

I would pay top dollar for a NCAA 14 PC game that is modded to the model of CFB BEFORE the BCS where each bowl mattered and the final poll was always a crap shoot...

I never seem to do well with Celts. I like to take over the world and scorch the earth as Mongols. Nothing can beat Mangudai and onagers.
