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!

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.

SAINTS ROW 2. mark my words. you will be glued to the screen, better then gta and it's realistically only 5-10 bucks.

all the uncharteds
far cry 3
batman series
last of us
metal gear series


btw, is shadow of mordor any good people? hearing good things but really wanted drive club. I recently bought a very new and improved 42in LED tv and the games look amazing on ps4. so much of a difference in everything compared to the 32in 4 year old toshiba I was playing on.

Just bought Fallout 3 on steam for 7 bucks. I played it a little, but i wasnt much into these type of games back then, but since i moved on from Sports gaming, i gave other genre's a real chance and well later tonight i will give Fallout 3 a real attempt .

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?

Dead Island is fun for a few hours, then you will see how ****ing reptitive it is. I didnt even finish it, because its the same ****ing shit in every single area. You get kick ass weapons, but nothing else changes. It got really boring.

That is one I would definitely consider purchasing if they made a remastered edition for next gen. It was just that damn good. Better than Last of Us

I have Shadow of Mordor on PC and it's really fun. Imagine the Arkham City fight mechanics in the LotR universe. It's fairly open world and there are some great mechanics like the Nemesis system where enemies that kill you will remember you the next time you encounter them and talk shit.

Just got done playing titanfall its 10 bucks at amazon for the Digital PC copy and i must say game is pretty fun so far. Runs silky smooth. I enjoyed it quite a bit and im not a big FPS kinda guy.

I've heard good and bad things about it. I guess the storyline is shit and the cutaways are cheap but the gameplay itself is supposed to be awesome I. Multiplayer.

yeah, i just jumped into it and started playing after a little bit of the tutorial. There is no real compaign at least i didnt see it. Its just all blast em lol, but for 10 bucks couldnt go wrong.

Any one getting advanced warfare?

Hmmm. I played Titanfall back on the free weekend. While fun, I found the multiplayer experience so-so because it dropped me: a n00b in with 50+level guys. The match making had much to be desired. I think I killed one guy that wasnt an NPC.

I bought it and have played a few games. Find a class you like and it's not too hard.

Im terrrible at FPS shooters, but only the first match i ever played in that i ended up last on my team. Im usually sitting 3-6. Only 1 last place finish and im terrible.

Game is really fun. Still learning the ropes n getting used of switching gun using the 1-2-3-4 keys. I just need to get that muscle memory going to where it feels natural.

Anyways, for an EA game im impressed. I usually dont find EA games fun.

[Mother****erJones]

Titanfall sucks IMO. But to each their own.

[ragedogg69]

anyone pick up Unity? Everything I read says it runs like shit on all systems. Not my cup of tea, but I am interested in anyone's thoughts.
