Video games...what ya playing? And what are you looking forward to? (10 Viewers)

I put about 12 hours into the Witcher and was bored. It was directly after finishing FO4 so maybe I was just sick of going from a to b to c and back again type gameplay. I'll give it another shot later on. 

 
Far Cry Primal is fantastic fun. If your looking for a game with no guns and an amazing engine with vast landscapes and wildlife this is it.

The Witcher 3 is flat out for me amazing. This is will be a game over the course of this year I will dump over 150 hours into. As far a single player RPG's I can already say this is as good as it gets if you love AAA story telling, music, characters and leveling. Just awesome.

Pre-ordered The Division. Anyone else buying this? Should we fire up an official thread?

If I do, it will likely be on PC.  I have a to n of Best Buy rewards certificates that are burning a hole in my pocket and might find their way to The Division.

 
Put me down as another one who found Witcher 3 kind of meh.  I finished it the main story, and some of the quests were pretty good, but overall I never really got into this game the way that many people did.  I found Geralt boring as hell, and the combat was super-clunky coming directly from Bloodborne.  That said, a ton of folks had this as their GOTY, so I know I'm the outlier on this one.

I'm definitely getting it for the PC and have a few other friends in the Mumble channel who will be playing.  The Dark Zone definitely requires a couple of squads for protection.  The D-bag factor with this game is likely to be high.

 
Been loving Rainbow Six Siege and Rocket League lately. Won a 2v5 in siege by going 9-1 and another random with a mic going 6-3. We were jacked up and talking strategy the whole time and killed the enemies while defending in last round within 30 seconds. They all left in shame. I have gone from a 0.6 player to 1.5-3.0 player over the past few weeks. Things have just clicked.

Rented Street Fighter V yesterday as I had the afternoon free.  I didn't bother with downloading all the updates because it was going to take 90+ minutes so I couldn't play online.  

Meh.

I mean its the same game from when I was younger and its still fun, but it loses its appeal when games are now so much better and more involved.  Played 3+ hours straight, but don't think I'll be buying it.

So in the vein of Buy, Wait for Sale, or Rent...  I'd vote Rent.

Also, it does allow couch co-op so that could appeal to some.

It's a fighting game. I would hope it had co-op or vs mode. Unless there's some tacked on campaign.

Well it seemed to be highly geared to online fighting with arenas, rankings, etc...  Just thought I'd throw out that it does have couch co-op.

There is a 'campaign', you fight all the fighters.

One other thing I thought was weird, there's an EULA that a player must agree to before playing.  I don't remember that for most consoles games.  It was nothing to do w/ online play, it was a EULA to even get to the main menu.

 
Humble Bundle right now has a bunch of Star Wars games including Xwing vs Tie Fighter and Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 as well as other.  Older games but some great classics in there for $10

Played the beta but didn't go into the dark zone. I liked it but there's a few things that would take getting used to. 

Will likely pick it up for PS4. Since I don't  usually play with other people so I'm not sure how much dark zone will appeal to me.

I'll be on PS4 as well. :thumbup:

I won't be back in town until Sunday but add me and I will accept it when I get back. Maybe put FBG in the message. My PSN is Bordman

Open invite to anyone else here too.

Anyone played the Sherlock Holmes game that's free on XB1 this month?  I've downloaded but haven't booted it up yet.

It's a adventure puzzle game that is AA quality and has some funny glitches and graphics. About the same as past Sherlock games. If your a fan of the character and can get past minor issues you'll like any Sherlock game, if not then probably not. I like the BBC show and the books and have always enjoyed the games while overlooking the weirdness and development issues(lack of $$).

Anyone played BroForce yet?  I have it downloading at home now, may give it a whirl this weekend.  Its free on PS Plus, this month, as was mentioned earlier in the thread.

 
Side loaded remote play on my phone.  I can now control my ps4 anywhere and play some games. Even my current bluetooth controller works, but it's missing some buttons.   

Next step is to try to sync my Ps4 controller

Damn, I just got both the KOTOR's on Steam during the last sale.  Building up a new PC, and figured for $4 it was just easier to re-buy then sit there loading CD's.  May re-re-buy as I love the Xwing/tie series, and some other good ones in there.

 
I too picked up Far Cry Primal the other day. And it's tough getting used to, the game play is very different than the previous one. But the game itself is pretty awesome.

I'm somewhere in between you and @Todem - I need to go back and finish, because I thought it was enjoyable, but as   I kept progressing through the story I just felt like things were getting more and more stale.  Working on FO4 and and am enjoying it better than the W3.

Kinda there with you.  It wound down toward the end.  But I did end up with the "horrible" ending, which was a pretty fitting end for my play.  

 
I own both a Wii U and PS4 and I gotta say the two best games on either system are both on the Wii U. Super Smash Bros and Super Mario Maker are two of the best games Ive ever played. My son and I put so many hours into both games and they never get old.

i don't think there is any denying that nintendo does "fun" better than pretty much anyone.

Looking into this. Is it like slingbox for your gaming system? 

Been wondering when that was going to start happening

Bascially.  

I side loaded the apk.  Right now at work I can turn on my console and control it like I'm at home.

Still working out the controller kinks.

Yeah, that would be nice.  Would love to be able to get some old Nintendo games on the PS4.  Not a Nintendo property, but Capcom did all the old megaman's for PS4, not redone or anything, but it looks (for a non-widscreen 8 bit graphics) and plays really nicely on my HD tv.  I was actually pretty impressed.

The critter AI is pretty great. I've been tramped, gored, gnawed, stung, bitten, and EAGLE TALONED to death. Fun!

This was fun but not as much fun as I had hoped.  I was playing solo though, and I can see how it would be more fun w/ online randoms or friends.  Still its free.

Saw an article today stating the map was the same map from Far Cry 4, just reskinned or something.

Edited to add the link: Story about possibly recycled map.

Awesome... it's set in the same place but in pre-historic times.  Looks like the topography even represents that.  Not sure what the complaint is there.

I still won't get it until it's $20 or less.

 
As excited as I am about Paper Mario: Color Splash... these are the types of titles Wii U should have launched with!

 
Stardew Valley is some great bang for $15. Game is really deep, a cross of Harvest Moon & Minecraft on the surface with more to it than meets the eye.

I've seen quite a few people talking about this recently.  Doesn't seem like my cup of soup but for those that like minecraft, it's supposed to be awesome.

Uhm, no. That was the exact opposite of what the article stated.

Before you go thinking that this is a clever easter egg throwback, that Primal takes place in the same location as Far Cry 4, just 12,000 years earlier, Far Cry 4 definitely did not take place in Europe, which is where Primal is said to be set in the intro to the game. So that would have almost been a clever excuse, but not quite.

I'm down. Start up the thread. Lets get a few people rolling. This is going to take on some mmorpg aspects of end game advancement.... awesome.

There seems to be a lag between hitting the button and jumping and shooting.  More of a lag than I remember from the Nintendo games.

Am I mis-remembering the Megaman games on the Nintendo?

The first MM was pretty stiff.  Check and see if 2-6 feel the same way.  It's possible they didn't get the emulation perfect.  Also, some TVs have options for input lag when gaming.  It could be your TV.

Just pre-ordered No Mans Sky on Amazon (Amazon Prime get's 20% off all pre-orders) for the PS4.

WOW!!!! This game looks like it will be amazing.

In the meantime I am loving Far Cry Primal and 25% of the way through. 

The Witcher III is still fantastic and I am slow burning my play through and enjoying every minute of the story as well as the side quests. 

19 days till MLB The Show 16!!!!!

 
"I'm not really feeling No Mans Sky. I want to be excited for this game but I'm not."

That was what I was going to post but decided to watch a few videos again. I'm very interested in everything outside of actually "playing" this game. By playing I mean the first person view and walking around on a planet. Also, how is it all going to work? It seems like companies sell features that aren't actually in the game or are only a fraction of what was said and the scope of this game seems way too big and way too connected to actually work.

So do I buy the Show 16, or do I continue my MyPlayers from 15? I don't play as much anymore.

Do people do roster updates and stuff for 15 still throughout the season? Haven't had the Show before so pardon dumb question time please.
