What video game are you playing?

[vinnymac2402]

Waiting for 11:55am to see how cheap SW: Battlefront is for PS4.

The deals on individual games that are up right now aren't that great, but I'm holding out hope that Battlefront gets a sweet deal.

Meijer had a deal on a while ago for $20.oo but I haven't seen anything else on it lately

I wish I could sell you mine but it's digital only.

Appreciate the thought brother. My brother in law has a copy that I'm sure he doesn't play and told me I could borrow, so I've got options.

I'd just like to have it to mess around and have a change-up from Overwatch (until Madden and Battlefield 1, that is).

Let me know if anyone spots a good gaming headset.

To be honest I have it just haven't played it yet. I've been playing Assassins Creed Black Flag again for the millionth time. I love that game.

If you had an Xbox you could play Red Dead.

 

[wizards8507]

If anyone wants to buy the Xbox out of my bundle, PM me. I'd love to avoid the eBay fees. Great price.

I have Red Dead on my PS3, which I will keep for as long as it works.

Black Flag might be my favorite video game of all the video games. A lot of big-time Assassin's Creed fans didn't like it so much, but I thought it was amazing. So many different ways to play that game, and a lot of different play-styles are forced upon you. It was awesome.

I played AC2, thought it was a great game... tried to play a number of other and just couldn't do it... they all felt too similar to AC2 without the initial novelty.

 

[zelezo vlk]

I love AC2. Brotherhood was also pretty good.

ACII was initially my favorite because of how amazing the setting was in Renaissance Italy, but ACIV really changed the game, which is why I liked it, and why it might be my favorite overall.

It still had the formula of "collect these things for the best armor" and "get to these lookout points to view the map," but those things were definitely reduced majorly in terms of grinding/importance.

It wasn't just about running across rooftops, climbing a building, killing someone, rinse, repeat. You sailed, had naval battles, controlled a fleet, went to big cities, tiny ports, even smaller forts and villages on small islands, dove underwater at ship wrecks, and on and on.

You could go into a big ass fort guns blazing, or sneak through the Mayan ruins like a stealth master.

ACIV reallllllly developed a game that let you play how you want, and in ways much different than the rest of the series.

 

[ACamp1900]

Cool, one of the few I haven yet to try... may have to pick it up at some point.

 

[IrishLion]

Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of "grinding" to do (more than any other AC game, probably), but most of it can be avoided if you aren't the 100% Completion type of gamer.

I'm OCD, so I sailed to every tiny island and sand bar to collect every tiny, minuscule, nearly-worthless reward from treasure chests across the Caribbean, but that isn't necessary to do at all.

Black Flag is my favorite I have probably 5 or 6 times. I love the ship battles

AC2 and black flag are 2 very different styles of assassin creed both are fun but black flag is just better

The Man-O-Wars!

I'd collect new ones, even if I had a full fleet, just to get ships with cooler names.

Ana Amari, new sniper/ support:

[IrishLion]

So, she's a long-range support character that can also deal long-range damage?

Interesting concept, but doesn't that kind of blend the attack/support categories a bit too much?

 

[wizards8507]

OP AF if you ask me.

Yeah like why would anyone pick Widowmaker?

That's kind of what I was getting at lol.

Can't wait to run into a Nano-boosted Genji.

AC Black Flag by far my favorite AC. Couldn't rep you again.

I would guess that her long range damage will suck. It also appears that there will be a delay on both her heal and damage where they happen over time after the shot is made.

EDIT: It's funny that you say Widowmaker will be less played as a result. I think she looks like the perfect counter to Ana.

She's a sniper. Why would her long range damage suck?

Maybe not "suck", but if her ranged damage isn't significantly inferior to Widow, then why play Widow anymore?

 

[greyhammer90]

She's a sniper. Why would her long range damage suck?

Because she's a support class. Her primary job is to heal and buff.

 

[wizards8507]

Some speculation on Twitter that she doesn't have any mobility abilities, so if she gets jumped she's pretty much SOL and she won't be able to get to some of the true sniper nests.

 

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

You guys not have the test build option on console? Only played 1 round, basically 3 shots to kill non tank. Wasn't a headshot bonus(in practice range)Heal was like 3 bars per shot. 6 shots, can no scope cq. Grenade purpose is basically throw at the person being mercy healed. The ult seems like only reason to pick person, as long as person knows you're about to Q them. I can see some tourney teams on some maps using her simply for ult. Other then that IMO zenyatta with 50 more HP is far more useful, and rarely used.
