What video game are you playing?

[koonja]

Shoulda saved your money for Battlefront, bro. At least that was has em effing tie fighters.

This was my reaction to the build up if you remember my posts here... Keep this simple, don't jump the shark, seems they refused to listen on both items... I would still love a good, deep, realistic (for CoD) WWII Normany to Berlin game... But even with their wwii games they insist on multiple fronts, making you play as the Russians and British... All that jazz...

Anyway, once I saw wall walking in the trailers, I knew I wasn't a fan of this one...

Never played battlefront or battlefield.

Yeah, I still had to get it because I LOVE zombies. But your prediction I thought was accurate at the time and unfortunately it's come true.

WTF is the point of having advanced warfare if my Fn guy can fly in Black Ops? Just dumb. I've only bought the black ops series because they were so smooth and realistic.

The first two BO games were pretty good IMO...

BO2, specifically Kino Der Toten Zombie map, might be the greatest game ever made IMO. That zombie play was flawless.

Good news is you'll be able to trade it in for a healthy sum over the next few weeks...

What does that mean?

 

[ulukinatme]

So BO does, in fact, stink?

 

[ACamp1900]

GameStop will prob give you like ~45 in store credit for it, most new games like that get a lot shortly after their release...

If you want "realistic," never buy anything called "Call of Duty" anything.

True in terms of most of the combat and damage engines... But WaW and BO 1,2 were, good, fun games that weren't super unrealistic.... Modern Warfare 2 was good also...

Or sell it on eBay as "like new" and get $50+. I just sold a download card for Gears of War Ultimate for $26. It retails for $30.

 

[ACamp1900]

Sure, it's a question of convenience to me, I'd rather just go down the street to gamestop and be done with it, just me.

 

[wizards8507]

Speaking of that... I usually get my games new on Amazon but when I went to GameStop the other night, I had to pay $2 or something for a used game guarantee. Do they not guarantee ALL their games anymore? Like, if I buy a used game and the disc is hacked to shit and it doesn't work at all, am I just screwed if I don't buy the guarantee?

 

[ACamp1900]

Interesting, admittedly I don't go as much as I used to... That'd be news to me, tho I also don't buy used very often...

I'm probably gonna end up getting Battlefront, maybe ask the wifey for Christmas. I'll probably end up getting it on PS4 to play with my buddies, but I would prefer to play it on PC. I miss space combat ever since SWG shut down. Was hoping Star Citizen would be up and going, but it's not quite here yet and Star Wars trumps all anyway.

 

[wizards8507]

Early reviews for Fallout look really good. 9.5 from IGN. 89 on Metacritic.

 

[irishfanjho15]

Games I'm most excited about this year on PS4:

Battlefront

Rainbow Six Siege

Can't wait. (Bart Scott voice).

 

[ulukinatme]

Today might as well be Friday, cause I'm off the rest of the week. Me and two buddies are picking the game up at midnight, and it's gaming until dawn like we're all 21 again and not really 33 with kids. Don't care. It's Fallout. We so excited.

I'm hearing XBox One is now backward compatible...

 

[IrishLion]

It begins on the 12th, and 104 titles will be available to begin with.

Here's the info: Introducing Your First 104 Xbox One Backward Compatible Games - Xbox Wire

EDIT: The biggest ones for me would be the XBox exclusives, and the only ones I can pick out in this first list that interest me are the Gears of War games.

Holy cow is BO3 Zombies tough. Map really had a lot of work put into it. I've survived to round 8 so far and I'm pretty good at COD zombies (made it to level 42 in Kino Der Toten twice).

Anyone else getting anywhere with this map? Anyone want to explain their strategy and/or team up to show me the ropes? PS4.

 

[ACamp1900]

What map is it? Only one? How does it play? Be as detailed as possible or,... rumblr.

Morg city, it's the only map the game came with (you can buy others later on I assume).

It's tough - very big and everything is a tight corner so there's not a lot of space to run away. And the getting to juggernaut, speed cola, etc is very tough and hard to find, and I've yet to figure out how to turn the mystery box on.

 

[ACamp1900]

Does it 'feel' like previous zombie modes or is it a total shark jumping??

The gameplay itself is realistic, but there are some additional things you have to do to turn on the power and I assume find the mystery box (assuming because I haven't figured it out yet). But the movement, shooting, etc, is all the same. Just a super large, tight cornered map if that makes any sense, so survival hasn't been easy.

 

[ACamp1900]

I just watched a gameplay video of the map that's a downtown alley... they're fighting giant zombie bugs and stuff... no thanks.

There are bugs. The bugs/locusts replace the 'dogs' of kino der toten, so they happen every ~ 5 rounds and end with a fresh ammo.

There's also a monster that comes every 5 rounds. Not sure what his point is because I've never survived him.
