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!

Let me know what you think of it. I am only through the first two episodes and find the story pretty lacking. I heard it gets better.

In other news, I am on my kick for Euro Truck Simulator 2 again. I dont know what it is, but I really enjoy the relaxing fun of hauling shit across Europe. The reward system reminds me of Kerbal in a way. Complete your haul and do a good job, get rewarded with currency and XP. Its that constant cycle of enjoyable gameplay and completion rewards that keep me playing it. The customization of trucks is pretty cool, but I only care about adding extra lights so I can see better at night. I think one of the best parts is instead of licensed music, they just have a built in radio that play actual European radio. The Pop channels sound exactly like Pop channels here. Only with a different language. I would recommend it, if you can snag it for 75%+ off.

I was looking at Mordor. Not usually my type of game but it looks intersting.

You will not be disappointed. Play towards her strengths. In other words... A sense of morality.

THIS is why I created this thread. I've never heard of this game before. I checked out the YouTube vids. It looks really complex and something I'd like to play when I need a time waster.

And BTW .. Yes, it starts slow but it's worth the effort on TWD.

I remember neat shitting myself over the first Gran Turismo. I was a mechanic at the time and I would literally plug in some of the alignment specs into our alignment machine at the shop to see what would work best on a road course or a speed/circle track. That game was the shit!
I have t played it since the second installment but with the next gen consoles out, I'll bet they'll blow us away.

We were editing a commercial for Gran Turismo 5 and someone walked into the room, watched the monitor for a few seconds and said, "Where'd you guys shoot this? Is that Germany?"

It was some post-race replay cam in-game stuff. it looks that real.

****ing awesome. That game was always ahead of it's time.

ragedogg69 · 10-30-2014, 09:22 AM

I think the last Gran Turismo I played was GT 3 A Spec. I think I grew tired of the robotic AI and no damage. I guess in 5 they finally added damage, but I had lost interest by then.

Honestly, I am more excited for the official release of Next Car Game than I am for another GT game.

Dayze · 10-30-2014, 10:33 AM

I need a new game for my PS3.
Tired of Madden and need a break. and tired of GTAV.

what are some suggestions? I'm not big on games with aliens, or fantasy/sci-fi etc.
I've heard The Walking Dead might be cool? never played any of them. What about Dead Island? Far Cry?

Walking dead is awesome but not for everyone. Last of Us still good. Far Cry should be fun. I like evil within although I've only played 3 chapters.

If you're going to buy TWD, make sure it's the Telltale version and not that ****ing piece of shit. "Survival Instinct."

Uncharted 1-3 is great if you havent done that yet.
PS3 games I'd recommend are:
South Park, Tomb Raider, AC- Black Flag, Last of Us, MLB...
The standards, you know. Let me know what you're interested in. Chances are I've checked it out.

Dayze · 10-30-2014, 03:38 PM

good ideas. Forgot about Unchartered. haven't played that, or any of the others (well, at least not TR in probably a decade).

my wife also reminded me i have The Last of Us still (which I had completely forgotten about). I have barely played that because we moved some furniture and stuff around and I just never got back around to it after it was all said and done. Maybe i'll fire it up tonight. I'm literally probably only 5% into it (and that's generous). I remember getting stuck at a level at the very beginning where I needed to get through a collapsed building, with a large fall-off on the other side, but couldn't figure it out. I might just say **** it, and start the the thing over again.
