Yeah, there's a plot. I would guess not super deep, probably a lot of "go save so and so" missions....Never heard of it until now...You have me interested. Is it supposed to be kind of like State of Decay with parkour? How about a story?Open world zombie horror survival with Mirror's Edge/parkour style movement. Ish.Horror survival?Anyone looking forward to Dying Light?
Multi? that would be too sweet. Ill have to check it out more.Yeah, there's a plot.

You can craft weapons. You have safe houses/zones. During the day the zombies are slow and rambling. During the night they get beefed up and can run/climb and get a lot scarier.
Just looks "fun" to me. Then again, I freaking loved Mirror's Edge. A lot.

I'll get it for sure. Not sure whether it'll be on PS4 or computer though. If I get it on the computer I can play with my wife but I'll need to upgrade my video card first. If I get it on PS4 I obviously won't be able to play with the wife unless she buys a second PS4.So, anyone looking forward to Evolve? If anyone has been staying current on it could I get a breakdown. I love L4D and from briefly looking at Evolve I got that vib. Is it PvP only?
Loot drops are crazy now compared to pre-expansion. You almost constantly have at least one legendary equipped.Son and I played a couple of hours of D3 again this weekend, so much fun to play together in the same room. I remember a lot of where to go and such, but forgotten enough to keep it fresh. Man, the loot seems to drop so much better now, too.
I have a bunch of legendary items. L30 monk. They don't actually seem all that rare. Am I missing something?Loot drops are crazy now compared to pre-expansion.

The pc version pre expansion had terrible drop rates that frustrated people to the max. When the game came out on Xbox 360 and PS3 they implemented loot 2.0, aka lots more drops. Then they added it to the PC version and the the expansions for all systems.I have a bunch of legendary items. L30 monk. They don't actually seem all that rare.

Yeah, I was a release date D3 PC player, and between the crappy loot and the Auction House, it was frustrating.

Here's a good quick trailer to watch: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/gamescom-2014-dying-light-gameplay-trailer-shows-o/1100-6421598/
That sucks. I had my Origin hacked about 6 weeks ago and they purchased Inquisition, AC: Unity and a couple other things before I realized it. Origin customer service stepped up and got my account reset immediately and all the purchases refunded within 2 days.Couple of attempts to hack my Steam account this morning. Don't know if these things go in waves or are individual in nature, but you might want to check your email for any new computer authorizations.
Luckily, they did it about 45 minutes before I checked my email. I had two emails from Steam asking if I had tried logging into my account from a new computer in Spain and another in China so I immediately went in and changed my password. No purchase or any other activity that I could see.Chaka said:That sucks.

Garry's Mod is one of the most popular games on Steam. It's popular for the same reason Minecraft is popular. There's no limits to what you can do. No, it's not my type of game, but millions love it.Any of you guys ever play Gary's Mod?
From what I could tell reading reviews and watching youtube, it looks like it'd be fun for about 15 minutes, then get boring quick unless you're 16 years old, smoke tons of weed, and have a group of high school friends who play and do the same.
madshot - did you see this?Evolve beta is the first game in a longtime that I had a blast playing but can't explain why I won't be buying on release. I think it's the fact that it's essentially just pvp and does t have a campaign mode, which in l4d, was my main attractions playing on tougher difficulties. I love the strategy and team work need as the hunters but the monster does seem op especially the wrath. If only this had a campaign. :/
Never heard of this game before reading this post. After a little research I realize I must have it.Started playing Europa Universalis 4 the other day. I've never had a game suck time away from me like this before. Civ 3 used to occupy an embarrassing amount of my time, but at least I was aware of it. I played EU yesterday for what I thought was two hours at most...apparently five hours had passed without my knowledge.

So I finally got back to playing after a month layoff, how far do I have left in mordor
chick just took me to the queen
About half to go
The Arkham games are good mindless fun. Run around beating people up in classic Gotham settings. Decent story too. Probably could finish both in less than 40 hours.So I'm at least 10 years behind on video games. The bummer is I don't know anything about the latest games. But the great thing is that all of the games I buy from Steam are about $5 during holiday sales, etc.
I just finished Half-Life 2. Awesome shooter. Of course, I'm pretty sure I was the last one to know this.
Now playing Knights of the Old Republic (the 1st one), Age of Empires 3 and Company of Heroes (also the 1st one).
Then my backlog is ridiculous:
Batman: Arkham Asylum and City
Bioshock 1 and 2
Crysis
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Far Cry 3
Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and 2
Mass Effect 1 and 2
Civilization 5
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Skyrim
How the hell am I ever going to get to these games? And why did I buy them all in the first place?

Half life 2 episode 1 and 2 are musts. The only thing that sucks is Episode 3 or HL3 has been in the works for like 8 years now. So you will be excited/pissed at the end of episode 2.
BioShock 1 is a masterpiece. Bioshock 2 is decent.
Mass Effect 1, 2 & 3 take some time to get into, but once you're in, its one of the most emersive universes I've ever encountered. I'm on my 5th full playthrough now. With all the dlc provably takes about 150-200 hours to fully complete the series.
Oblivion takes a lot to get into. Skyrim is much easier to pick up and play. Still another game with about 300+ hours of gameplay.
Civ 5 will consume you if you let it.
So yea, the next 10 years of your life are mapped out from that list. Have fun.
Honestly I would just skip Oblivion and go right to Skyrim.My poor kids.The Arkham games are good mindless fun. Run around beating people up in classic Gotham settings. Decent story too.

Realistically I know I'll never be able to play both Oblivion and Skyrim so thanks for the input. Why is Skyrim better? I know Oblivion had terrible leveling but I have installed a mod to address that.

It is so much better. It's not even close IMO. You can literally sink 250-300 hours into Skyrim on one play-through.
Mass Effect series is a must.
Batman games are a must.
Bioshock 1 is a must.
Deus Ex is a great game.
Everything Oblivion did, Skyrim just does better. Neither game has much of a plot. If you are having to pick and choose games to catch up on, you might as well play the superior version of what is basically the same game.Realistically I know I'll never be able to play both Oblivion and Skyrim so thanks for the input.

yesDiablo 3 is much more fun this time around. 1st time, played at release on PC which was rightfully lambasted for its shortcomings. Now on PS4 with co-op with my son, it is really fun. Man, legendaries drop several a session and yellows are raining all around. Playing through the 1st time on Hard with my son. Might need to get 2 more family members in the game with the controllers I have. I assume all loot and monsters scale to the # of players in-game?
Either or on the local vs online. The only downside to playing the couch co-op with my almost 15 yr old son is he keeps stopping play to check out new skills, equip new gear, etc. I wish it could go split screen so both could do that at the same time. Sheesh son, let's check stuff every couple of levels, mmkay?yesDiablo 3 is much more fun this time around. 1st time, played at release on PC which was rightfully lambasted for its shortcomings.

I know on pc version you can set monster level from 1-10 for higher chances of drops.
is the ps4 diablo just local multiplay or can you get online and join pubs?
I stopped playing 2 years ago but from what ive read they have really changed the game around
wait until you discover the mods...flysack said:I downloaded the PC version of Minecraft for my son (he's been playing it on his ipad).
He got me to try it once....
....and I've been playing almost none stop for 4 days now. It's the first time since Skyrim's launch that I stayed up until 5am playing a video game.![]()
At this point I'm almost happy my vacation is over Friday. It means I'll have to stop shooting myself up with Minecraft crack. I've skipped the gym three days in a row now because I lost track of time.
Holy hell is this game addicting and fun.
Almost every change they made was for the positive. I played D3 on the PS3 and that was an improved model on the original D3 on the computer, but Reaper of Souls just blows even those improvements away.yesDiablo 3 is much more fun this time around. 1st time, played at release on PC which was rightfully lambasted for its shortcomings.

I've been playing a crusader with my wife (I'd played the other classes in vanilla, wanted to mix it up in the expansion). She's got a barbarian. Currently she's critting for about 14,000,000 while I crit for ~2,000,000. It's crazy.We are about level 24/25 right now and I got a legendary 2H axe last night for my crusader that gives me +600 health per hit. My son was jealous, though as the archer he sits back with his dual hand xbows and gets about +200/hit. Combine that with rapid fire and he loves this game.

I can't remember off the top of my head. It's been a few weeks since we've played.
