Is anybody trophy/achievement hunting for Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls?
I was reading the list of trophys and saw that you have to reach level 70 with 6 different characters. What is the best way to go about this? Do you just start from scratch with every new character and play the campaign until you are level 70? Or is the new Adventure mode helpful with this trophy?

I still play 2k13 too from time to time (just finished my 2nd season in MyCareer). There are so many missing features that are available in the console versions and bugs that have been patched on console that have never been addressed on PC. An email last year to 2K got a response that there was no plans on patching many of the bugs I found. I've heard reports that their support of NBA 2k14 was similarly insufficient. The series is great, but I was truly disappointed in the shortcomings of the PC version of 2K13. I plan on buying 2K15 when it releases later this year.jamil said:

Anyone else try out the Forza Horizon 2 demo yet? One of the better demos I've played in awhile. A lot to do and it looks and plays great.

Mmm could not tell ya. I did not test M15 on the PS3/360. I do have a great set for M25 on the PS3 though.

Damn, I've been playing too much lately. Finished up a couple games in the last few weeks.
First was my epic first play through as a Nord badass in Skyrim. While I pretty much finished everything (most likely except for the 100 mini-quests I never found, god there were tons of them), I only rate that game OK. I know some people here will think I'm crazy as I know that's some guy's favorite game ever, but I just don't love it. Yes, there are tons of hidden gems in the game that you find by obsessive exploration, but most of the quests are only ok, and combat is actually pretty boring and uninspired. They really have no interest in evolving the basic elder scrolls format that was used in Obilvion and I think previously (only played a couple hours of morrowind), and just made it excessively bigger. I guess some people just enjoy the emersion RPG a little more than I do. Good game, just won't make one of my favorites.
After that I played Tomb Raider, and I don't think I've actually played one of those since the late 90's. Thanks to the guys that recommended I get that one, as I really enjoyed the game. Thought the gameplay was really good, story was enjoyable with what I thought was a good Laura Croft origin story, environments looked pretty nice, and a good length where you could finish it in a couple days enjoy your time and move on. Think it took me about 15 hours and that felt about right for the game. Only minor pick is it was a little on the easy side in normal difficulty. I normally don't need to push games up to hard, as I'm not looking for a huge challenge, but if I play this again, I probably will.
Up next is either finishing up SCII: Heart of the Storm or Max Payne 3.

I am head deep into Far Cry 3.
This game is bad ###. I love it. I see myself finishing it in the next 3-4 weeks. I am obsessed with exploration and doing all the most wanted quests, I did a ton of hunting to level up my equipment. Turning on radio towers to unlock free weapons, etc etc. And the story IMO is pretty damn good.
I am no doubt picking up Far Cry 4 this holiday season.

EA Sports has had this for a couple of years now in a few of their games. I did it in NCAA Football 14 by scanning myself at their website and downloaded it to the game. Didn't even have to be a next-gen console for it and I was amazed at how good it looked.

I was thinking the same thing, but I wonder if it'll be included with WWE 2k15. No word yet.

Demo of the face scan. Looks pretty good. I used to come out looking like a burn victim in the old Tiger Woods games.

I'll be able to check on the 25th when I get internet that can sync to the consoles. Which system are they for, I have beat normal/nm on the 360 and Dainty gave me the game/expansion on the ONE since its a favorite of mine, and D2 is my #1 GOAT.

I am a big fan of the Borderlands series and was interested in picking up Borderlands 3 later this year (entitled Borderlands: The Pre Sequel) but I just realized it is only coming out on the older gen boxes (PS3 and 360).
Hopefully they will port forward some day.

i am playing diablo 3. Best way is to do campaign once and then run bounties and rifts until you hit 70. Save all of your blood shards until you hit 70 so you can spend a ton for whatever set pieces you want. I only play a demon hunter in torment iv (greater rifts of like 19-20) but am always looking for something to do if you want help with anything. My btag handle is Tryst#1674 if you want to add me. I play pretty sporadically throughout the week but happy to run some rifts or help some of your more under geared characters to gear up in higher torments.

Thanks for the info. I got the platinum trophy on the original Diablo 3 on PS3 but want to try Ultimate Evil as it looks like it adds a whole bunch of new stuff when I upgrade to the PS4, hopefully soon.bagger said:

I don't think this has been posted, but I have been loving this site: Bundle Stars
You get a ton of Steam games for a few bucks. New bundles all of the time.

Looks awesome in the gameplay I have seen. Love LOTR and Elder Scrolls so I should enjoy it.

Is it an action game. Doesnt look like an rpg. Kind of looks like assassins creed

I think it's an action/adventure game with some rpg elements. I wasn't expecting this to be so well reviewed. Looks pretty great. I don't have time for the games I have already but I think I'm going to have to squeeze this in somewhere.

Played Wasteland 2 through the first 2 story missions, then restarted with what I learned. My thoughts so far on the game:
1. If you like Fallout 1/2/Tactics, this is a must have. Very similar game play. (party, turn based combat, mix of voice acting and written conversation)
2. Good voice acting and a slightly different approach on story immersion than you see typically.
3. Some nice graphic elements (not a graphics game), especially around combat.
4. Broken character development and attributes. Too many attributes (luck, charisma) that are pretty much useless while others are necessities in a combat heavy game. Similarly with skills, Some skills are pretty much useless.
5. Don't understand the point of the "junk" gear. Lots of variety here on useless stuff. I'd rather have more variety with the gear you actually use.
6. Dialogue isn't so much a dialogue tree as a dialogue telephone pole.
Overall I like the game because I like the combat system (turn based) and setting (post apocalyptic), however, it doesn't feel like this game was quite ready for release. As I said if you are a Fallout 1,2 or Tactics fan, it's worth picking up at a cheaper price point.

Sounds like EA's SOP for the last 5 or 6 years now. Push whatever you have to the market for $60 and then sell the people the rest of the game. Not surprising.

Well supposedly it was missing a bunch of stuff sone was put in patch 1 some will be in patch 2 from what I gathered. Some of the stuff people complained about I had no idea was in the old game
