I bought a PS4 and so far all I’m doing with it is using it to play Skyrim and eventually Oblivion when I get PlaystationNow.
I, apparently, am unwilling to embrace the future.
On that note, I got Elder Scrolls Morrowind for $4.40 off of Grand Old Games a few days ago, and my murder-hobo Orc is doing well. I found out you can murder everyone in the starting town, get a TON of gold, some awesome heavy armor and weapons, and the only penalty is 27 days of hard labor and some skill penalties. Totally worth it.
You don’t have a computer? Does Skyrim still have those awful loading on console? This is like the game I feel I’ll always come back at some point, like the sluttiest of exes
Skyrim is way more polished but Morrowind was probably the most fun for me. You could really go over the top with your character. I stole everything that I could and traveled through the world by jumping continuously until I had like a 20 foot vertical.
I really appreciated how open world sandbox games were truly open world. It may sound psychotic, but I appreciate when a game will just let you kill anyone and suffer the consequences to the story/plot. You can kill just about anyone in the first 2 Fallouts, the original Baldur’s Gate, Morrowind, etc. Modern games have invincible characters because they didn’t want to bother coming up with something if you backed yourself into a corner.
Coming from a DnD background, it’s the difference between a DM that is willing to just the players do whatever vs one that already has the plot decided and won’t let the players deviate.
You might like Red Dead Redemption 2. You can really be an awful bastard but the game “saves” you by replacing the people you slaughter with functional equivalent characters. The game definitely keeps the plots on the rails.
Otherwise you can go everywhere and kill almost everything in just about any way you can imagine. I love wiping out every California Condor I see and other critically endangered animals.
I haven’t tried killing my family yet. I’ll have to see how that works. I doubt it does.
I always think I’ll like GTA styled games, but I’m so terrible at video games that I get too frustrated over failing the missions and just end up seeing how bad I can mess up the ragdoll physics before hanging it all up.
Probably the reason I’m so big into RPGs. I don’t have to get better: I just have to play more!
I play the new Age of Empires 2 HD definite edition. Which is a remake + an expansion to the original Age of Empires 2. I usually play with a few mates and it is really fun. I am more into strategy games (Warcraft, StarCraft, Command and Conquer, the Settlers, Anno, Total War games and the like).
Before that I played Fallout 4, which I enjoyed. I occasionally play counterstrike with a few mates but they’re all pretty advanced and I am super slow and suck at the game, haha.
Also to alltime favorites I would have to add the Bioshock saga. The last game ‘Bioshock Infinite’ had such an amazing story and screenplay that it felt more like a fascinating movie and I played it through in one sitting. Then several other times because you can’t possibly fathom everything about it if you only play it once.
Admittedly I only play for a for about an hour maybe 2-3 times per week, but I find its a nice way to relax at the end of the week or on the weekend when I am trying no to think about eating more food.
I second this, I grew up a starcraft kid. Brood war is the tits, my friend & I were European ladder champions at the time. I still occasionally play games but sc2 doesn’t do it for me… waiting for Warcraft remake.
I downloaded the Galactic Civil War mod for the 2007 game Star Wars: Empire at War.
It’s basically a remake of the game that updates the graphics and cuts out ground combat. Instead you get a cool-as-fuck space combat game with a ton of new units that are totally rebalanced.
Great mod to check out if you enjoyed the original game.
Dont get much time to play games anymore so now if i get 5 minutes or we have a family games night we play either
Mortal Kombat (The new one) or Crash team racing
Would love to get my hands on the witcher 3 , new call of duty or elder scrolls online but just dont have the time to give . . .
I do however spend alot of time playing mobile games on my 2hr commute to/from work. Alot of quick mind games e.g. Soduku , Futushiki, Block games etc.
But put alot of hours into Clash Royal. Really good game to play on the go. Almost like an advance game of rock paper scissors , but with cards. Easy to pick up, very technical to master.
Just downloaded a game called Raid over the xmas holidays. Reminds me of a diablo/pokemon mix. Cant really comment how good it is yet as only played about 25 mins of it.
so now if i get 5 minutes or we have a family games night we play either
