I'm one of the few COD guys, but Zombies holds no appeal to me. I've at least dipped my toes in the water in it in the last several games just to see what it was about, but the overall style of play just isn't interesting to me. Haven't even opened it up on WW2.
Yeah, I liked the older zombies where it was fairly clear what you needed to do and where you could setup as a team and fight the zombies.
I played one game of Zombies so I have no insight to pass along. Is there any tutorial or anything online? There used to be tons of tips and tricks videos for zombies on YouTube. **I usually come to this thread to ask about stuff before I start watching videos or Googling stuff too. So please don’t take this as a “GaWd!! JuSt gOoGLe it!!” type of reply.
There are plenty of articles and videos showing how to complete challenges, but not a ton of info on combinations for loadouts, weapons, when to unlock/upgrade stuff, etc. And virtually nothing at all on working in teams. It's almost all focused on straight up just completing tasks and seems almost geared towards guys who are good enough to solo or duo it.
dipped my toe in on Bloodbourne... didn't do it for me, maybe I'm missing something.Kanil said:
Phantasy Star II.
Ya, that's what my kids and their friends would do. Or they wipe out all the zombies except one, then complete or look for whatever they had to do next. if I want to play a puzzle game, I'll play a puzzle game. If I want to shoot some people up, I'm going to play a shooter. I don't like mixing them up. And yes, my favorite plates are those sectioned plastic picnic plates so my food doesn't touch other food.
It's fine for taking a break when I get frustrated with something else, but it does not have me hooked.
I wanted to like Fortnite, but it's not really my style either. It seems like the optimal strategy to win is to mostly avoid anyone else until the very end and then build like crazy to fortify yourself. That's just boring to me. Maybe playing duos or squads would be closer to my style, but there are so many other games out there and my gaming time so limited that I'm not sure I'll ever put the effort in to figure it out.Played several games of Fortnite last night. I think I played about 8 games and managed two kilsl Both were short range with shotguns. For those who said the controls and gameplays are great, I definitely disagree. Though I will say a lot of the frustration is going from what I usually do in FPS and playing third person. I do not like the controls, and I'm not used to it. I had one exchange where I came upon two people fighting each other. I pulled out my sniper and tried to pick them off. I couldn't hit anything. Once one of them killed the other, he fortified himself. I shot the walls down, but couldn't hit him. He built his wall again, and as I was in the process of shooting it down again (feeling a bit like the big bad wolf) he jumped out the side and insta killed me.
My best game placement was when I landed on the board in an area of the map not many others landed in, and happened to be the center of the storm so I just camped in a house until near the end. It was down to the top 20 or so, and then someone stumbled upon me and killed me even though I was camping, shotgun pointed at the door waiting for someone to come in.
Agreed on all points.
Cant believe you never played a Super Smash Bros game. They are amazing. Glad I bought the Switch. Thats a day 1 purchase!
Where have you been for the last decade? Jkjk
This looks really awesome. That arcade mode looks it will give this game a good amount of longevity.
It doesn’t help depending on the time of day you are playing against 12-16yo kids who spend the majority of their day playing this. The other day I was on a squad with my cousins kid who’s 13, he had like 11 kills one game and was doing it in style. Definante learning curve to the shooting in this game, and of course finding the gold guns helps.Played several games of Fortnite last night.

My highlight was picking up some gun, I didn't know what it was and my kid say "oh wow, that's the best gun in the game!" I saunter out in the open walking chest puffed out like BMOC, turn a corner and get shottied to the face,
This reminds me when I played against @ren hoek in the FBGs 1v1 tourney years ago. I was about 28 and Ren was likely at least 10 years younger. He demolished me without even remotely trying and said so. I was so angry with him.
,) the disparity in reflexes the younger kids have is truly astounding. 
Did you like the Souls games?
Man I really don't remember that. If I said something to that effect I apologize for bein a total ####head. I'm 33 now so I was probably around 22-25 then. I honestly don't remember that at all. I do remember drafting tdoss's son in one of the Gears drafts. That team would have been so OP but I think the league collapsed, lol.STEADYMOBBIN 22 said:This reminds me when I played against @ren hoek in the FBGs 1v1 tourney years ago.

Im a lifelong gamer and while I wasn’t the best GoW player, (I was dominant in GoW2
Looking forward to the Dark Souls remaster coming out in May. Can't wait to jump back into that one.jwb said:
Yeah, it did and I remember our other leaguemates having a meltdown over tdoss's son.
Those were the days. Playing Gears til three in the morning and posting in our little league threads. How comfy.
More than 10 years ago. I feel really old.Those were the days. Playing Gears til three in the morning and posting in our little league threads. How comfy.
Now the franchise is basically over, we've moved on to other stuff and Cliffy B is the laughing stock of game devs.
I actually liked from what I saw in the stream with RTTS. I don’t know how much I’ll be playing it though. Do you play any diamond dynasty? That’s where I’ll be doing most of my playing.

That was back when I could smoke weed all night, play teh gears and get 2 hours sleep before I went to work. By Friday I would crash hard before repeating the process. I did that for about 2 years or more. Now I routinely fall asleep with the controller in my hands.
I’d definitely skip everything but the main missions and the squad loyalty missions.
Might not be so terrible if the graphics weren't so bad and childish. It kind of seems like the grind of a poker tourny without the rush of any potential cash. But some MP shooters are fun to navigate the map on (Titanfall and Uncharted 4 come to mind).
If you want to grind some DD since there’s no online franchise there, just hit me up. Psn is the same as my handle here.
I got bored with the console puzzle game pretty quick too. TG for the interwebs. Surf console code, done.
Thought about Bloodbourne, then changed my mind and figured it'd be the same as when they gave Demons Souls for free on ps3. Played it a few hours, lost my s###, and uninstalled.
