The Video Game Thread

Lol I’m out of ideas, then. Don’t really have time to play anything these days, sadly.

Half-Life, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Wolfenstein, Crysis,Titanfall 2, GTA are my favorites

Cyberpunk looks nice but my GTX 660 most likely will no longer be able to handle that.
Hope they make a sequel to Titanfall 2

And of course…

Yeah, they don’t seem to make them like this anymore.

My wife made me an awesome Half Life 3 shirt that I wear a lot. People always comment on it. That game would sell so many copies. I can’t understand why they haven’t made it.

Heard good things about Borderlands series. Haven’t tried it yet, but the graphics look a little too cartooney for my taste.

Valve as a company has shifted into becoming a big money maker instead of a video game maker now. Why try and put so much effort to live up to the very high expectations of the game that Gaben himself has inadvertently done by delaying the sequel for so long when steam sales make so much already.

Even if it does get released, I’m not going to be surprised if a huge group of people will be disappointed with what will come out. I’d love to see it exceed expectations, but at this point, all I need is closure. Lol

Definitely doesn’t hinder the experience. Mrs and I have played through Borderlands, Borderlands 2 and the Pre-sequel, and they were all great games. Especially so with a companion. If you like dungeon crawling and FPSes, it’s a great match.

Oh alright alright, noted! Those were released a while back, so my GTX 660 should still manage. All I need to have now is time to play

I can play Borderlands on a cheap Asus laptop I have. I play that with my older boys sometimes. It does look cartoonish and I fought playing it for a long time for that reason. It’s a fun game. Especially playing with them.

I’m thinking about going with Resident Evil 7.

64 Smash and GC was the shit. Unfortunately I haven’t owned a Nintendo console since GC. When I win the lottery and have nothing but time I’ll get a Wii and a Switch as Nintendo remains the king of first party games (and experiences like no other).

Ya, we played a ton of GC smash when I was deployed in the early 2000s.

Agreed. I wish they’d just sell as a third party like Sega. The Switch is neat, but I don’t love it. The controller is too flimsy, but I can see how people that like to game on the go would like it, though.

That’s the dream ticket. However the Switch is selling amazing. Not going to drop hardware while you’re making money doing it.

RE7 is my favorite game on PS4. A real frightening game with very intelligent AI. My wife would tell me to wait for her to get home so that she could watch me play it. To her it was like an intense horror movie.

For sure, another version of the Switch releases soon.

Haven’t played it. Could add to the massive backlog. My wife was like that with the last of us. She thought the story was so compelling I wasn’t allowed to play it without her watching.

I just remembered… I found dishonored pretty good. Only have played the first game though due to time

Actually replaying Exodus now… really nothing.

Fallout will scratch the itch for post apocalypse, but with a fraction of the quality.

Doom will definitely satisfy any FPS urges, but the story is minimal.

It’s a breed all its own unfortunately.

Some parts of RE7 are really scary.

Seriously though, I really wanna play that game and see what the love for it is all about

Ended up getting BulletStorm: Full Clip. This game is a blast.

BulletStorm is hilarious. You’ll probably like Rage 2 as well. You might also like Just Cause 3. It’s 3rd person, but it’s hilarious.

Yup really enjoyed Wolfensteins series. Also another killer gem IMO is Shadow Warrior 2. Mind you I’m PC user but this game really hits the nail for me. Highly recommended:)

I miss SOCOM, could really do with some proper special forces game at some point. Ghost recon wild lands was ok but felt too Arcady, not played the new one yet.
