New Witcher 3 Gameplay Shows Off a Full Quest

http://m.ign.com/videos/2014/08/13/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-downwarren-gameplay
I am very excited for this game.
Same. I sunk so many hours into Elder Scrolls over the years, I'm hoping this scratches that itch until the next one comes out.
TES crushes most games with the open world stuff but I think I prefer the game play and storytelling in TW2 over any Bethesda game I have played.

Yes, including Fallout. :scared:

I tried and just couldn't get into TW2. Maybe because it was so restrictive compared to Skyrim since I played Skyrim before TW2. I hope that I enjoy TW3 more than TW2.

I like the Bethesda games, but I will personally take 50 hours of plot driven gameplay over 150 hours of the open world fetch quests any day.

 
While I love 50 hour plot driven games as much as anyone...the adventuring I do on those 150 hours of fetch questing is what set's those games apart. So much discovery, dungeon,cave crawling, ingredient gathering, treasure hunting, etc etc. So When I am traveling from Riften all the way to Solitude to rob a home for the Thieves Guild...I don't fast travel, I take a trip on horseback and adventure to my destination.

The point of a journey is not to arrive!!!

Anyway that is how I have approached Skyrim in particular. It is that aspect that has made it my all time favorite RPG.

Yea, playing Skyrim like that... no equal.

 
Divinity's fight with Loic finally made me set the Difficulty level to Easy. Never seen a stalemate like that before. We whacked all his minions but could never do enough damage to take him out in one round, and then he simply healed himself back up. Rinse and repeat for three hours.

 
PS4 arrives today......i caved....and I am giddy about The Show 14 Madden 15, NBA 2K15 and NHL 15!!!!

All look awesome!!!!

 
The full WWE2k15 roster has been revealed: http://wwe.2k.com/index.php/roster/2k15

A lot of uninteresting undercard guys are included. I would have preferred more Legends. Some notable omissions are Paige, Rusev (and Lana) and Bo Dallas (if you're a Boliever).

ETA: It looks like there will still be more wrestlers added to the roster. No word yet whether more Legends will be included, although you would have to think so given the rivalries mode would pull in some of those older guys.

Haven't played a wrestling game since some game on the N64 and havent watched it for about as long. But to get a signed Hulkster art card I am in :nerd:
These are already sold out on Amazon.
Bought a couple of these to sell on Ebay last week. Thanks for the heads up.

As for new games. I haven't been that fired up about gaming as of late. That was until I played Divinity - Original Sin , absolutely loving it.

 
Pre-ordered Far Cry 4

Playing Far Cry 3 and love it.

The mother game of PS4 is going to be The Division.. I have not played an online shooter since Battlefield 2. This game looks incredible. No doubt i will pick it up. I hope we can form a thread here to group up and have some squads to play consistently.

 
Sorry I haven't been active in this thread for a bit. Between a camping trip, a couple of crazy broads, and a move to the suburbs, I've been a little tied up.

I recently moved to a place that is less than half in rent than I was previously paying. Yeah, I know. So, I've bought a new 42" Vizio, got DirectTV, and such.

With the nice new TV, I've been considering getting a PS4, especially for the ability to watch DVD/Blue Ray on my TV. I'm interested in GTA5 plus potentially NHL and I may get into other games as well.

So what do I need to think about when buying a PS4? I was thinking that if I did, I would swap the HDD out for a SSD. Is that easy to do? I've been looking at bundles but they seem to vary and some of the games that are packaged in bundles aren't of interest to me. Is there an ideal time for a good game + PS4 + accessories bundle? Is this something that I should wait until around Black Friday for Internet deals?

I am aware that PS2/PS3 games are a no-go on the PS4 and am ok with that.

Just picking your brains. As always, I appreciate all serious replies and fun schtick.

I've been eyeing FC3. Haven't played any of the series. The reviews are very positive. What is it similar to?

Beat Bane last night. He was actually pretty terrifying the way he chased you. Now on to the Joker. Curious to see if they spruced up this boss battle since AA and ACs were somewhat a let down.

 
I've been playing quite a bit of Battlefield 4 again. Dice really did clean it up nicely compared to what it was several months ago. No more rubber banding and I have yet to get disconnected from a match.

I'm marking time until Halo comes out in November.

It is a first person shooter. But the backdrop is on vast island. The game controls are tight. Very fluid and easy to use. Think of Battlefield 2 controls but on an island.

I am thoroughly enjoying the sandbox feel. You need to use the jungle and all it's resources to succeed as well as learn which load outs work best for you. I have been pretty much a sniper thus far. I take more of a stealth approach. But you can be a balls out Rambo type too if you want. It's a giant game of capture the flag.

Vehicles are fun, hunting animals is a blast. You also find plants to create various different health injections and cures as well as earn XP to level up via tattoos.

It is a really fun game. I believe it's only 20 bucks new on Amazon prime these days (that is how much I paid for it). there is also a local co-op story totally different from the single player campaign. Multi player is also available.

Far Cry 4 looks like it will be epic on the PS4.

Tuesday I will have my copy of Madden 15 on the PS4 and I gotta tell ya....all the videos and reviews and impressions I am getting from Madden fans have been superb. The game has truly and finally gone next gen after a pretty disastrous run on the PS3/360.

Really looking forward to that and NBA2K15 which looks like it will have by far the deepest single player franchise (My League) mode ever. Offline, no VC BS and full customization. Extremely deep from everything I have read from the developer diaries etc.

Thanks Todem. Seems up my alley and the price is right. After summer hiatus, I'm gonna binge this fall on yesterday's games. Gonna pick up Far Cry 3, Madden 25, GTA V. I don't have PS4 yet, but I've got about 2 years of backlog on the PS3.

Still playing this game.

Awesome. Hope to finish it in the next 3-4 weeks.

I have a killer slider set for M25 (All-Madden) plus use madden share to DL the 1990,1993 and 1986 rosters.....amazing fun.

 
GOG.com has a sale on some good "classics" for $2-$3 each

Jade Empire – for those that like the KOTOR style gameplay

Ultima 4-8

Wing Commander 1-5

Privateer 2

Alpha Centauri

plus some others

 
Finished Arkham Origins

A bit disappointed with the Joker ending. Not really a "battle." IT was more of an interactive cutscene. Bane was the final boss.
Another good Batman game but Asylum was still the best IMO.

 
Guess I'm late to the party on this but I didn't realize the PS+ change affected games downloaded before as well. Just sat down to get back to some of the games I hadn't got to yet and I got content expired. This makes PS+ a lot less appealing.

Plus how would it be able to tell if I bought the game legit vs downloading the free one?

Heard it work for some people that had stuff downloaded and went back to play but couldn't. Doesn't always work and doesn't work for games not downloaded yet. I haven't heard of any negative affects to trying it but never used myself.

Yea didn't work. Oh well. Cleaned out the hard drive at least. Having kids makes it hard to play these games within a month.

the games dont expire after a month. Not sure why you are having that issue.
 
Weird, I just had my PS Plus lapse last week and got a new code from a store and I didn't lose anything. Just tried a bunch of games I hadn't touched in 6 months and started a download for a game that was a free game in like March.

 
Sorry if someone already mentioned this, but I downloaded Dishonored (free this month for XBox Live members) and I'm loving it so far. For anyone that hasn't played it, I recommend downloading while it's free at least and then playing it when you get a chance.

Dishonored is awesome. Anybody who hasn't played this yet and who is still on the 360 really owes it to themselves to grab this.

__________________________

I'm still getting Destiny, but mainly because my son wants it. I'm sure I'll enjoy it too, but I've cooled on it a bit after learning that it's a smaller universe than I had hoped. I'd probably pass if it was just me.

In happier news, my will broke and I sprung for Diablo 3 on PS4. I had bought a used copy for the PS3 back in the spring and got my wizard up to level 60, but the PS4/XB1 version is a lot better than the previous-gen version. Leveling seems faster (either that, or the game is easier -- I'm playing on Expert with my brand new Witch Doctor) and loot is clearly improved. No doubt I'll burn myself out on this again, but so far so good.

 
Did anyone get Diablo 3 on the PS4 or XB1 yet? Has anyone heard if one version is appreciably better than the other? I heard it's in 1080p on both.

I am waiting to get through Last of Us first (only playing a couple hours a week), but was really excited for D3's co-op mode.

We have been playing on the PS4. Both versions are 1080p, maybe check and make sure late game isnt a problem on the x1(there were concerns since they got it to 1080 that the machine may not run end game great(too many particle effect or something)) other than that I havent heard of any potential issues

D3 couch coop is a blast no split screen, but if one person portals to town everyone does. We have been playing expert difficulty and really didnt have any trouble until the final boss. He wacked us twice last night then we quit, we should be able to down him tonight. The drop rate is a little high for legendarys, but the opposite would be alot worse.

Feel free to add me on ps4 hercraato

I have the PS4 version. I can't personally compare it to the XB1 version, but the limited reports I've seen suggest that they're comparable. I'm only through Act 2, but my Witch Doctor is constantly rolling with three zombie dogs, a gargantuan, and a companion, and I haven't noticed any chugging anywhere despite having a ton of enemies on screen.

Then again, Diablo 3 is one of those games where you could always just wait around for it to hit the bargain bin without missing out on anything. Couch co-op and single-player will always be there.

Wow. Is this PC only?Eta--looks like its on ps3 too.

Don't have much time anymore, though I was sick today and played Red Dead for hours. Enjoyed reading what everyone is playing.
Witcher 3 will be PC, PS4, and XB1, if memory serves.
