I haven't felt that way about a video game since I created my first WoW toon, almost ten years ago.

 

If you haven't played the Uncharted series, you really need to check it out. One of the best game series out there. I'm sure all of the games can be picked up for dirt cheap these days.

 

I have them already. I have a huge backlog.

 

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

The last MH game I played (MH3U) I dumped over 200 hours into it. If you don't mind loot-oriented grindy games which reward skill (Diablo-esque) you'd love this game.

 

Yes liking Uncharted. Simple 3rd person shooting setup, great dialogue and story. Though I don't mind open world, I do kind of like it's linear style.

 

eh

 

Well, I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to finish Shadow of the Colossus...just too damn lame to me. I thought I'd at least force myself to finish it, but it's not happening. Lollipop Chainsaw is sitting here, so will be checking that out this weekend.

 

Put gta back in the 360. Started the campaign over to get the hang of things. Love this game.

 

Yeah I tried SotC. I'm not into artsy games and it's a little archaic for me as it's a PS2 game.

 

Reviews for The Order: 1886 have not been kind. Anyone try it yet?

I decided to replay Tomb Raider Definitive Edition for now. Great game.

 

Yeah I hear 1886's graphics are sick and that's about it.

 

Some buddies got me back into FFXIV online recently after over a year off. Anyone else do the MMO thing?

 

^the only MMOs I really got stuck to were Warcraft and Runescape.

 

Downloaded P.T. Will try it later this week...I'll let you know if I pee my pants.

 

Isn't that what the P stands for?

 

 

I loved playing the Prince of Persia and God of War remasters. That's why I got the Ico/SotC set. I had never played them on PS2, but unfortunately they weren't quite the same. Not sure why they were so well regarded. While Ico wasn't the worst game I've ever played, I found it boring and annoying. SotC just sucks.

On a side note, I think Ico and SotC are an odd pairing, even if they are from the same studio; they're not really that similar.

 

I never played PofP but GoW is fun regardless of the platform. And the controls haven't really been revolutionary in all its varieties. It kind of just works though the combos have improved. I need more!

 

Do any of you game competitively? Leagues, lans, etc?

 

Finished Uncharted 1. Really cool game even if it's really old. Looking forward to doing part 2 next.

 

So, I played the P.T. game for about 30 minutes last night. Had to put it down...

Having been through my share of "scary" games, I would have to say this little teaser game takes #1 for messing with my head.

 

Is it fun at least?

 

Not bad. Not much involved...just walking. But, the game messes with you and the designers (i.e. Kojima) gleefully designed it that way to fark you up.



BTW, the Uncharted series is great stuff. Glad you played it. You'll love the sequels too.

 

Monster Hunter hasn't been out for even a month and I've already put almost 100 hours into it...

 

Been playing Killzone Shadow Fall's campaign the past couple of weeks. It is a fun game. I like the Owl.

 

Xbox is killing me with all these damn sales and shit.

I recently picked up the Definitive Edition of Tomb Raider, I played it on 360 before but it's so fun and for $13.20, it was worth it to play it again. Been playing that a lot.

Picked up Wolfenstein: The New Order for $25, having fun with that, I like the ability to be stealthy, controls are a little wonky though.

Metro 2033 Redux for $25 too, that'll be here Wed. Heard great things but never played it.

GTA's new Heists are out so I've been playing that with friends too, it's a lot more fun than the regular missions online.

Ori and The Blind Forest, fun but pretty damn challenging.

Also Diablo 3 and Forza Horizon 2.

Yeah, I'm playing a lot.

Has anyone played Dying Light? What do you think of it? Looks really fun, I'm waiting for it to fall below $30 or so.

 

Uncharted 2 is an absolute blast. 3 was fun but not as much as 2.

 

^Thx. I've been so busy and too tired when I get home. Part 1 has been in my PS3 for like 2 weeks.

 

Picked up Borderlands The Handsome Collection for the ps4. I started with borderlands 2 first. I like the crazy characters.

 

Spectated the CS:GO CEVO Season 6 Lan Finals last night at the new Major League Gaming Arena in Columbus, Ohio. It was pretty cool.

 

wtf ever happened to CAL? Did CEVO replace it?

 

Three leagues in NA right now. CEVO, ESEA, and Faceit.

CAL died a long time ago although a "CAL-Reloaded" is apparently in the works.

The prize pools keep soaring higher and higher. This seasons CEVO pool is $11k, next seasons is $144k.

 

Wow. I've heard of ESEA but as far as I know it is one of those where you have to pay a monthly fee of like $10 or so to play on their servers... pff.

I remember back in the day when I had no life and played cs like 7 hours a day. I went to one of the annual CAL winter tournaments in Dallas where there were teams from all over the world. I think SK Gaming won that tourney. Anyways, the payout to the winner was I think $20k or so.

I just went for a few hours to see what it was like. That is where I first saw BAWLS and the only other times I've seen it was at Quakecon I visited a couple years ago and at Fry's Electronics a few weeks ago

Brings back memories of how much of my younger life I wasted on CS lol. But hey, I played in CAL for a short time!

 

^Difference is those prize pools are like every weekend now, instead of once or twice a year.

I ended up going all three days. Met a lot of nice people including the VP and host of MLG, Chris Puckett. So when the time came he picked me as the spectator interview right before the grand finals. 40k+ viewers.



AND..... I'm applying for a job at MLG.

 

Still haven't gotten another session in for Bloodborne. Need more time in a day, dammit!

 

This has been dead. I'm unhappy to report I haven't touched a video game, except for the occasional Little Big Planet 2 with my daughter, in over a month. Gym and TV are like 2nd jobs man.

 

Yeah, played s'more Bloodborne a number of days back...did well, but definitely need to be very careful in melees...death comes easily.

Otherwise, with playoffs on TV...not much time for gaming. I suspect when Arkham Knight arrives, I'll be playing that non-stop.

 

Been playing early access Killing Floor 2. Very gory zombie survival game.

 

I was at my friends house the other day and via the PSN network he got a game called Guacamelee for free, and we started playing that.

Its a really fun little platformer.

 

Yeah I think it's free this month
