What video game are you playing?

Played the real WWE 2k last night with the oldest and my wife... It's fun. We even give the four year old a busted controller and tell her she's the CPU...

"...or to carry all the grocery bags from the car to the kitchen in one trip."

I thought that was just a standard part of male DNA.

Haha "crab walk" is the perfect description for the balet that must be done when you need to somehow open and get through the front door with a 5 foot perimeter of groceries on your person, while simultaneously trying to keep the dog from escaping.

You guys carry your own groceries? That's what children are for.....

My daughter is 19 months old.

When I see my neighbor cutting his own grass while his 13 year old son dicks around the cul-de-sac on his Razor scooter, I want to go over and smack the both of them.

Start em young

I mean, the whole point of getting married and having kids is so you don't have to do shit anymore...... Right?

Isn't that why farmers had 15 children back in the day?

I had a few bags of mulch in the back of the car and my four year old asked if he could help. I said yes grab the last bag and follow me, thinking he would pull on it and say "that's to heavy". By the time I got back to the car the bag was out of the car and he was trying to drag it on the ground. I'll get my money's worth out of that boy yet.

Did you teach him proper lifting technique????? Work smarter, not harder.

I go over that everyday with my crews at work, but I never thought he'd make it that far.

Does he even lift, bro?

Anyone looking for anything in particular at E3? I'm hoping for an announcement of the Red Dead sequel as well as some hint of the next Star Wars game from EA.

I desperately want a Star Wars RPG. I'd preorder one right now for hundreds of dollars.

As in Battlefront II? Or is there something else on the horizon that I wasn't aware of?

I still long for an actual version of 1313, except with some light sabers and force powers thrown in as well.

Im with you....minus the hundreds of dollars portion.

Same. I'd preorder KOTOR 3 ultimate edition or whatever the fuck they'd call it for $200.

EA has announced they plan on a new Star Wars game every year, with the general feeling being that every other year would be the next version of Battlefront and the off years being something different.

The only one in development that anyone knows anything about is being done by Visceral.

EA's most recent statement:

Today, I’m thrilled to be able to announce that EA and the talented team at Respawn Entertainment have expanded our relationship to include the development of an all-new 3rd person action adventure game set in the Star Wars universe. They join our other great studios – Visceral Games, DICE, Capital Games, BioWare, Motive and more – who are currently working on Star Wars projects. If you’re interested in joining us on this adventure, you can visit our Careers page – we have openings at Visceral and Motive and will be sharing more on these experiences soon.

Visceral - 3rd person action-adventure
DICE - Battlefront
Capital Games - Galaxy of Heroes (Mobile)
BioWare - The Old Republic (MMORPG)
Motive - No idea... possibly working on the same project as Visceral

Their list of games is pretty decent, but provides no clues as to what type of game it might be haha.

They've done FPS, open-world, turn-based, and hack-and-slash.

(Sidenote: I used to spend hours playing "LotR: Return of the King" and just getting after it. The level at the gate of Minas Tirith where you're killing hundreds of bad guys and battling trolls was awesome. Visceral made that game, so I stand behind them.)

I would love a new Red Dead... as for anything Star Wars I'm kind of over it after Battlefront... to me these huge franchise games are just like the huge franchise movies... lately the developers/producers invest the bare minimum into actual substance because they know the game or film will sell just on name alone... that battlefront game felt SO stripped down and void of any real substance

with all that said if they came out with a full on Bethseda sized Star Wars RPG I would flip....

I think Battlefront was treated unfairly in that regard. Overwatch wasn't built on any existing IP and has even fewer maps and game modes than Battlefront, yet gamers are creaming themselves over it.

I like to play as Aragorn when possible, as I'm pretty sure he had the sword and the bow. Using him for the Palantir challenges was the best.

Battlefront didn't do it for me at all. I knew that I probably wouldn't like the game before I bought it but it was Star Wars so I had to. I'm just not an online FPS gamer.

I felt cheated out of my money honestly, even my 12 year old who is a big SW fan played it like twice and was like, 'eh, this sucks'....

I was squarely the target audience for Battlefront. I had never played an online shooter but I bought 1) an Xbox One, 2) Xbox Live Gold, and 3) Battlefront preorder solely for the Star Wars experience. Having not played that type of game before or since, I have nothing to compare it to, but I've thoroughly enjoyed it and feel I got my money's worth. I'm at 50ish hours and that's about what I'd game from something the scope and scale of Skyrim.

The biggest problem I see with online games in general is that I fell like you HAVE TO play it constantly to keep up with the other players. I took a break from Battlefront for a few weeks and when I came back to it, everyone who had continued playing was ranked up and powered up with new gear that I was far away from unlocking. That's why I haven't picked up Overwatch. It's been out for too long already (only a week or so) and I don't want to be behind the eight ball of the people who have been playing right since launch.

The rumors are going around that Rockstar will release details of a new Red Dead, and I can't wait!

Today, well now (noon), Ubisoft is officially announcing Watch Dogs 2 which is apparently going to be set in San Francisco.

 

[ACamp1900]

I dislike online shooter play honestly... I don't enjoy the "run around like a chicken with your head cut off and shoot everything that moves" style of play that is now inherent with those style of games...

That have to at some point but that was the big rumor last year as well, I remember us all discussing it then...
