What video game are you playing?

[NorthDakota]

San Andreas was so good. So many checklist items that I really enjoyed tracking down. I remember loving sneaking into other gang territory and spray painting over their tags. GTA V is really great, and technically it's a total marvel, but I'm eager to see Rockstar do a period piece in a GTA game again instead of it being present day. The music in Vice City and San Andreas are some of the best 80's and 90's collections ever.

My mother didn't let me play those games because her brother was a urban police officer.

She was okay with me playing Mafia though lmao

I spent hours just taking over gang territory in GTA San Andreas. It was like Sid Meier Civilization conquering and the only resources you have to worry about are bullets and health I got so pissed because near the end of the game I think there's a story event that flips all the territory back. I'd like to see another period piece too, the 70s music...

The Witcher 3
Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 1
Skyrim
GTA V

Those are my top 5 in order. Others:

Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
The Show
The Last of Us
Spiderman
Limbo + Inside

Dark Souls is absolutely NOT my kind of game. Didn't play any Nintendo games other than Smash Bros which I do love. Honorable mention to Heavy Rain which was basically a game made for me so I loved it but objectively wasn't very good.

Mass Effect is from 2007 or 08 I think

Why was GTA5 so much better than the rest, and apparently enough to make it a top 10 game?

I played the 2nd one and liked it but never played another.

I thought using 3 totally different main characters was seamless and the game felt so damn cool to play. The dialogue was great and missions were memorable.

 

[T-Boone]

Anyone play Project Cars?
If so, get on to Bathurst and try the track out. That's Australia's most famous track. Man its a great track.

 

[ACamp1900]

Vice, SA GTA3 and 5 were all super fun

 

[GowerND11]

In no particular order:

GTAV
RDR 1&2
NCAA 14
FIFA series
MLB The Show series
MGS V
Watch Dogs 2

I know I'm missing others I've played.

 

[ACamp1900]

Vice City was prob the GTA I was most into... though I was also the perfect age for it (Grew up in the 80s and was in my early 20s when it dropped)...

I'm feeling bummed and a little overwhelmed with how many great games I've never played. Not sure how I'll pick my one game this year.

Probably just flirt with DS, consider Bloodbonre, but end up playing MG again.

Eh, A lot of the games listed I haven't played either. We all have different priorities and schedules. No biggie... I for one can only play a few games a year (in terms of deep diving). This year was The Show, FIFA, Bloodstained and RRD2... A guy has to find time for electric football you know...

I’ve been making slow progress in God of War...

Took vacation yesterday and today, have been making big progress, and just got to the part where you get THOSE WEAPONS.

My god, so satisfying.

If you've never played Uncharted, is Uncharted 4 worth it?

God I'm desperate.

I really enjoyed it. I would have probably enjoyed more following all the games, but I just never played them. I did read up on the backstory up to Uncharted 4, watched some videos, etc. Great game too.

so i got the ps4 bundle that comes with The Last of Us Remastered, God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn.

based on the above it sounds like i should start with God of War.

 

[IrishLion]

KRATOS: “I do not know the reach of your god-hood. But over time, we will learn.”

ATREUS: “Are you sure I can’t turn into a wolf?”

KRATOS: “You are welcome to surprise me.”



All the feels

any big deal that i never played the greek mythlogy era GoW's?

Not really. There will be a few emotional beats in the story that won't quite register for you because you didn't play the earlier games, but everything will still make sense. As long as you know that Kratos killed Ares in the first game, became the Greek god of war, and then murdered the rest of the Greek pantheon, you'll be fine.

So,... it's a feel good story?? lol

I heard the new game isn't like this but I hated the first few volumes of that series... the press a button on cue to see a cut scene boss battles were the worst thing ever.

Santa Monica got away from that mechanic more and more as the series progressed. I agree it was a bit overdone in the first two installments.

Forgot the Uncharted games on my list. They would make my honorable mentions. They are all worth playing.

Just get the Nathan Drake collection and play them all.

Good! Been waiting for your Cuphead review.

Jim saving Kerrigan at the end of starcraft is beautiful

Art is beautiful. Design is very clever. Sound is great. But holy shit is it difficult.
