Been playing some Hearts of Iron 4. Paradox is such a good game developer

Well I was off by 24-hours… was just about to fire up the old PS3 after putting the kids in bed, then #3 decided it’s time. Currently at the hospital waiting on IrishLion cub #3!

Unpacked my old N64 for my boys last week and played Mario 64 with them. They hated it and told me the games on their tablets were better. I'm now reconsidering my parenting style towards these unappreciative little bastards.

Gotta start 'em young. Introduce them to NES, then SNES, etc. My kids still play tablet games, but they can enjoy old school Mario Kart and Squaresoft RPGs too. Might be too late for your boys now though!

This is like looking into a mirror, I miss playing video games sometimes

I snuck in original Sonic on their tablets. It’s a slow, methodical build.

Been back into Team Fight Tactics. This is a really good set they have out now. Feels like there are tons of viable setups you can use.

The motivation piece could be interesting repackaged as a recruiting mechanic in the new NCAA game. Still not buying Madden though lol.

 

[ulukinatme]

I fired up NCAA '14 for the first time in years after seeing it in this thread again. I was going to try the Revamped version, but surprisingly the PS3 emulator just doesn't play nice on my gaming rig, and I don't feel like jailbreaking my original backwards compatible fat PS3.

Playing around with the recruiting I thought "Boy, in the absence of a college football game now I bet a college football simulator would kick ass. I should code my own game." Turns out there's already one on Steam No idea if it's any good, looks like they've got knock off teams though like the Michigan Muskrats and the Alabama Crimson Waves.

Haven't had as much time to grind as I normally do, but I have been enjoying this set so far. The dragon mechanic is a little annoying but I understand the need to keep trying new things.

-1000 reps for not bringing your PS3 to the delivery room

Since it’s baby #3, staying in the recovery room has been much less stressful than the first two times. Just hanging out and taking care of the new baby without #1 and #2 providing the general chaos factor they usually bring lol.

My wife told me yesterday that if I wanted to stop home and bring my game in, I could.

It felt like a trap. It’s a trap, right?

I don’t think the dragons are too OP. Their high cost helps balance them out.

I’ve had lots of success with a low tier comp.

Clear test to see if you'll still want to spend time just talking with her now that #3 is here! Burn this message once it's been read.

Dragon Warrior 2,… finally gonna get into the others. I owned 1 as a kid and beat it then and as an adult,…. Already have the Prince and the silver key.

 

[du Lac]

So I played RD2. I’m not a huge video game guy, but I did play that and I’m at the point where I’m bored as I beat the game and nothing left to do. Any ideas? I do like that kind of game. I played GTA but I don’t care for it.

Hunting challenges if you’re asking for what to do in game,… if you are looking for another game have you played Witcher 3??

Have not played Witcher. RD2 was the first game I played in 10 years. I bought a Xbox s out of the blue last winter and played just that game.

If you liked RD2 you can play RD 1 which I thought was a more enjoyable play through or Witcher 3,… both were masterpieces and the two best rpgs I’ve played

 

[ACamp1900]

Witcher 3 does kind of just starts story wise and the world/story dynamics are MASSIVE so it’s best as a deep dive/ take your time game imo. It took me a while to even understand the base story first time I played it but yeah,… get the version with the expansion packs because they alone are worth the play through and they’re both best done after beating the main story

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Now get a playstation and get god of war to play. This is the way

 

[ulukinatme]

RDR2 is kind of a hard act to follow. There are plenty of other great games of course, and some few that are better, but not a lot of epic westerns out there. RDR1 is certainly good. Red Dead Revolver goes even further back, but it's not open world and that's getting into PS2 territory.

Witcher 3 was certainly decent, even if I don't care for Geralt personally as a protagonist. What did you enjoy playing 10 years ago, @du Lac? Might help us give better suggestions.

I finally beat the original DW2 on NES several months ago. The end is fucking brutal....I just remember entire regions and dungeons where anything and everything can hit you with 1 shot KO Death type abilities. It's sadistic. There's is one trick that helps. The Prince is known for getting his ass whipped on a regular basis. If you're playing on original NES there's a trick to get a 2nd Flying Water Cloth so both he and the Princess can use it. Helps a lot, here's the steps: List of glitches in Dragon Quest II.

I’ve been rolling a bit but sure stumbled out the block,… I didn’t know or just forgot you had to equip items so at first I was getting murdered by slimes…

Tommy Rees just took over as Head Coach at UCLA in my newest NCAA14 dynasty. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity after Tyler Buchner won a Heisman and the 2023 natty in his offense.
