You playing this on the PC?

If yes, how are the graphics. Heard they suck as far as a PC game goes. [/quote]
They are subpar imo. But the gameplay more than makes up for it.

I will say this though, I can’t play these new games with mega insane highest settings anymore, so I don’t really know how it looks maxed out. For the settings I’m running though it doesn’t look as good as most games on my PC.

It’s about time for a new rig though honestly. Mine is over 4 years old. The fact that it can still run cutting edge games with decent graphics amazes me. It was fucking top of the line when I got it.[/quote]

I ran it at 1080p with the settings maxed out and it still didn’t look good, but like you said, it is fun.

Don’t know if I’m going to play it long term, while it is fun, it’s way to similar to Call of Duty. And I’m a little tired of the run-and-gun, twitch-shooter experience. Back to Battlefield, and it’s issues, I go I suppose…

So for someone who likes action games (i.e. Ninja Gaiden, DMC, etc.), and likes playing them on the hardest settings, would Dark Souls be a good fit for me? Been thinking about waiting until it comes out on PC though, but I’d like to give it a try.

Oh, and who here has played Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. While it is a bit on the short side, I’ve loved what I’ve played and I’m super stoked for Phantom Pain.[/quote]

Dark Souls is really nothing like DMC or Ninja Gaiden, the combat is entirely more weighted and has a natural rhythm to it. To sound cliched, it is ‘realistic’. You will spend most of your time hiding behind your shield or dodging, learning the enemies move set and waiting for the opportune time to attack. Also, the respawn system is unique. Rather than feeling like you are starting back at a level or boss where you just died and have to repeat until you are successful, death in Dark Souls doesn’t really set you back (except for souls and humanity) so it sort of feels like a continuous momentum in the game.

Sadly I have to wait to play Ground Zeros, love the cutscenes though. Kiefer was definitely a better choice for Big Boss considering how much more serious the game’s tone is compared to previous titles. Did you play it with the enemy tagging system? I plan to try and do it without cause it seems to easy with that.[/quote]

Was going to try to play it on the hard difficulty with all that crap, i.e. tagging system, the alerts, etc., turned off. But man, the gameplay is good. Calling a helicopter in the hot zone to extract someone, and fighting everyone off 'til it gets there, is AWESOME. The graphics, open world, dude…you have to play it…

And dammit I need to get the Remastered FFX too, as well as inFamous Second Son.

Sigh…too many games…[/quote]

Just completed Ground Zeros there, wow. Even on PS3 the graphics and gameplay are incredible. I was massively impressed by just the little things like snake rolling over to either side when aiming in a prone position.

Awesome game. Phantom Pain is going to mind blowing.
[/quote]

Most definitely.

If you haven’t already, you should try some of the side ops missions. The one I’m doing right now has me trying to kill two targets in the base, but one of those bitches keeps moving around every time I try to get close to him. Super fun.

Oh, and for anyone who has a PS4, you should get inFamous Second Son. The gameplay and graphics on this game are unbelievable.

haha I was just doing that one, I managed to take out the first target but the second escaped.

Fucking funny the intel agent you have to rescue is Hideo himself lol.

It’s a bit ironic though that the game marked me down 9999 points to an E rating for taking 60 mins to complete the intel retrieval mission considering the game is incredibly short yet they reward rushing.

:open_mouth:

Started playing Infamous Second Son, it’s really good like En Sabah Nur said.

I’m strapped for cash at the moment but looking to get this. Ps4 is a little dry for games at the moment but this looks great. I like how it seems more realistic than the last 2 infamous games. Let me know how long it its once you beat it. Really excited for this one

Will do.

It definitely has a different feel to it than the others. I’m probably 6-7 hours into the “good” side of the story and I just got the second power (neon), which is pretty cool.

Split the cost of infamous with my bro so we got it today. First things first, the graphics are gorgeous. I also like how it utilizes the touch pad on the ps4 controller, not just gimmicky but fun. I really like the characters too. I’m not sure why this game just got decent reviews. Its pretty amazing and I will def play through a second time with the opposite choices.

Guys Blizzard actually fixed the shit out of Diablo III imo. The expansion is fucking sick.

Yup. Loot systems are much better. Enemies are more challenging. Boss fights are incredible. Art direction is outstanding.

As awesome as this is for gaming I am scared for America. Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion. Years from now people will be immersed in a 3d virtual reality hosted by facebook (substitute “The Machines” for Facebook and it sounds like you have the Matrix).

More like that movie Gamer with Gerard Butler

I just got back from Captain America Winter Soldier and it was good better than Thor 2, just a little too much Fury for my taste. Lot’s of little nods and Easter Eggs, Gary Shandling makes his triumphant return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Worth a movie night definitely and just like Avengers and Thor 2 there are two end credits scenes to wait for.

Just found out you have to pay monthly to play elder scrolls online for ps4. My hopes and dreams are crushed… Especially after watching this trailer
