All Things Video Games & Game Reviews

[Gonzo]

Hey guys...
Thought we could use a thread to help one another out with purchasing new and used games. Now that the next gen consoles are out and the holiday season will soon be upon us, many new games are going to drop. We've been throwing 'reviews' in several different threads or making new threads for each game. I thought we might like to converge and discuss them as a whole. Whether you're on PS3, 360, PS4, XB one or even a wii, PC and Mac, this is a repository for what you're playing and how you rate it.

Let's try to do a 1-10 scale for each game. Take into account the following:

Storyline
Challenge
Replayability
Graphics
Online functionality
Downloadable content
AI/npc's
Price
Length of gameplay

You can use all or some of those as a guide to score the game. If there are other aspects you'd like to tell as about with your game, please do so. These are just suggentions.

Please note what system, (if necessary i.e. It being exclusive to a system) you're playing on and let us know what you think.

1. Sucks, I'd rather watch Brodie Croyle play as our starter. This game is dogshit.
2. Don't waste your time. It's obviously been programmed by a bunch of chimps with syphilis.
3. I'd rather eat tapioca pudding out of my grandmothers colostomy bag, then stick my tongue in her stoma.
4. Meh, there's really better stuff to do, (like waxing my pubes) but I was lazy.
5. This is kinda like purgatory. It's not the best place to be but it could be worse.
6. Not bad at all... It's like I just scored a BJ from my hot first cousin.
7. Entertaining as all hell, kinda like the feeling where you just drank enough not to puke and can still walk.
8. Buy this game, I'm super-cereal. It's got stuff that makes my nipples tingly.
9. HELL F'ing YEAH! I'd talk more about it but I'm gonna be locked in place for a week just playing this ****er.
10. This game is like godfather two and the empire strikes back joined forces to **** your face off with wow. I'm taking all of my PTO days and going on FMLA.


EDIT: We can also discuss upcoming/all things gaming in here as well.
Enjoy!

I already have a PC I can game with, I always do the console thing though because its good for the rest of the family.

I was just looking to see what a consensus opinion is of what system is a better buy or a preference etc.

Either PS4 or Xboxone I have the money for that. Like I said I already have a computer to game with, it's just no one else in my family or that I know is interested in that.

System for the family? we talking little ones here? Wii U may be a good option. Or ps4, I've never been an xbox fan. xbone may be alright but I have no input on it

If you're looking for a system that is great for family use, Wii-U is it. But if you're thinking about something for you, I have zero bitches about my PS4. It works wonderfully. I can't speak for the Xbox since I banned them from my house a few years ago.

They're not that little honestly, the oldest boy is an Xbox fan boy so if I buy a PS4 he's gonna be pissy. It's for me as much as them I still like console gaming more than PC gaming.

I'm kinda 50/50 on the systems PS4 has the show and uncharted which bumps it up for me.

I've always been an Xbox fan, but Sony drew me in with the PS4. I had it for a couple months amd then sold it for an xbox and haven't looked back since. It's all preference though. I don't think you can go wrong either way

[Mecca]

It's a tough choice, I'll most likely end up with both systems eventually but it's all a matter of what I wanna do right now.

Tomb Raider being an xbox exclusive is also a point since I really liked the last one.

I got tired of waiting for the Steambox so I decided to roll the dice with the Alienware Alpha. It was delivered this morning so I will give it a go tonight when I get home.

Hopefully this will help me work through my massive Steam backlog since I will have it hooked to the main living room tv.

Apparently the order 1886 is 'OK' for ps4 I'm disappointed

[ragedogg69]

Gametrailers review of 1886 spends the whole review explaining how terrible it is. Then ends it with, it is remarkable; 8/10.

This is why I need to stop reading gaming sites.

Mecca buy a Wii U. It is by far cheaper than the other two and has the best exclusives. Not to mention the only console going after the "family on the couch" market.

If I bought a Wii U I'd probably get smothered to death in my sleep by everyone else.

I look at metacritic for an overall score. Ign gave it a 6.5

Sonbitch. I was really looking forward to The Order. Guess I'll stand by and see some gameplay vids.
