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 do have to say the as frustrating as Bloodborne is, it's really ****ing good. It's very different. I have a lot of research to do.

**The Franchise** · 03-25-2015, 02:03 PM

The only game I really regret buying right now was Madden 15. I should have known better.....but Destiny hadn't come out yet and I had just gotten the PS4 as a gift.

**QuikSsurfer** · 03-25-2015, 02:06 PM

I'm really amazed at the number of people jumping on Bloodborne who have never touched a Souls game.

Game is definitely a throwback to Demon's Souls -- The Nexus type hub is very nice.

Loving the game but that's no surprise as Dark Souls is my game of forever.

Sick and tired of these bullshit ass games that offer nothing new or innovative. it feels like the same as ps3 just with updated graphics.

I'm not dissing bloodborne because you know what..it actually looks decent..but not good enough to make me rush to gamestop and spend 78 bucks on it. same with battlefield hardline. i have bf4 and gta5. why would I really need that? plus i heard the graphics are worse.

I'll wait till MGS and uncharted, maybe the witcher but until then I don't see anything worth purchasing.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Over-hyped games?? Just be glad PS4 is finally delivering games.
Name one other series that uses the same formula as the Souls series...
You can't... From Software have something totally original and it works.

I could see this argument working for all the remasters that are coming out, but not on this IP.

This (exclusive) game is a system seller.

Speak for yourself.

Well that's your problem. Canada sucks.

The Canadian devil disagrees. They have a bunch of freemium games.

**Gonzo** · 03-25-2015, 05:11 PM

Hardline was something I should've waited on... Silly me for expecting it to be good again.
You know, BF4 is actually a good game now that it's been fixed.

I think there's been a few games that have been way over-hyped and havent delivered but there are a lot of good ones out too.
Destiny wasn't what we thought but from what I understand, it's still a good experience and it keeps improving. I really like AC Unity too. It wasn't nearly as bad as "the experts" said. It was a glitchy nightmare upon release but it's now a very solid title.
Farcry 4 is just awesome. It's even better than 3 IMHO regarding gameplay. Maybe not as good story-wise.
Of course Tomb Raider was a cross-platform re-release but it is probably the best game out there in regards to a great story and gorgeous graphics.

I dunno... I'd probably put it at 70/20/10 percentage wise for good/meh/shit.

I truly should have done more research on Bloodborne. I knew it was going to be a bitch but I was not prepared. I am going to kick that games ass eventually.

I beat the first boss! Woo hoo! This game is amazing. I'm immediately buying the Souls games on PC after I beat this

There's a shortcut to get past them, but the big guys are easy to kill using a well time gun shot and critical hit with melee.

Just know that Dark Souls takes a little finagling to get the visuals to be acceptable & 60 fps.
This is basically all you need:

**QuikSsurfer** · 03-25-2015, 06:49 PM

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the first Sin is coming to XBO/PS4 on April 7th.
I highly recommend it. Experience it in 60 fps and it's DX12 upgrades with all the DLC.

**Buck** · 03-25-2015, 09:35 PM

2nd boss down. Damn it if this isn't one of the best games I've ever played.
