Dang! So that's all 4 Halos ?

 

Played for the first time last night. Man the graphics are insane from back in the day. Trying to get into Battlefield..

 

I think it's missing some but not the core ones.

 

Stardust Galaxy Warriors is pretty fun if you enjoy those bullet-hell type shootem' side-scrollers. Just finished it...I guess one thing that's good about being home and sick as a dog is playing some games.

 

Now, Uncharted 4 finally finished updating. I can finally start playing a bit later.

 

Bought this. I texted my buddy that lives in Cali. (we always played Halo 2 together online) Turns out he has it and plays it very regularly. Excited.

 

Enjoy. Some Metal Gear Lite sneaking in there Sadly not enough fighting baddies in this one IMO. Mostly rock climbing with holy shit 4k views.

Awesome man enjoy!

 

And Maker if you need controllers for your kids

That's a great deal. Say's currently unavailable though. I do need another controller.

 

Played Halo last night. I jumped right into Halo 2's campaign. Holy shit SO fun. Going to set up live tonight.

 

A little confused. I've seen charging docks for the controller. Do I need to charger the it?? It came with AA batteries.

 

Yeah you snooze....

Don't get Flooded

Hopefully a One owner can chime in.

 

Finished Game of Thrones. Pretty cool story and def in the GoT mold. Probably super cheap. I'd recommend it.

 

Xbox also sells what is called a plug and play kit which swaps the 2 AAs for a rechargeable battery pack and a cable to charge the pack.

You can just use AA batteries if you want. I use the plug n play on both my controllers. Is it worth it? Maybe in the long run.

 

As for what I have been playing...Player Unknown BG, Vive games, lots of sim racing. Oh and I played Mafia 3, it was good shit.

 

Finished Dishonored 2. Loved it. Probably gonna replay it in a few months.

Playing Deus Ex Human Revolution. Enjoying this as well.

Both games I got on launch. Both games I attempted stealth runs and really didnt enjoy the challenge so I put both down. Picking up both again and saying "fuck stealth" has me me enjoy both a whole lot more.

 

Jesus, I didn't realize it but apparently I've logged 40-50 hours into Breath of the Wild already. I'm not even halfway through the game, either That game is just... crazy.

 

My buddy had 200 hours in and his kid deleted it

 

Fuck

 

Just DLed the new Necromancer last night..... got to 70 within 2 hours... now gotta spend some time reading through those skills....

 

Considering how much of the game I've seen so far, I definitely believe the 200 hours. Then of course there is new DLC coming out that will further sap up my life....

 

Picked up Farcry 4 to play again before 5 is launched.

Never done the whole "sit here and wait for the bad guy" to beat the game in 20 minutes so currently waiting for the bad guy to come back. hahaha

 

Put over 30 hours into Insurgency. It was on sale not long ago, for 2.50 I didn't have much to lose.

It's an FPS styled after COD:MW's "hardcore" game modes. No ammo counter, no radar, enemies die in 1-2 chest shots from most weapons. There are a variety of game modes too, from tdm to objective based.

I actually haven't even played PvP yet, heard it has a steep learning curve. I wanted something more relaxing, and the co-op mode against bots has been good fun, minus the rage. The workshop has plenty of mods too.

 

Something I didn't personally know until recently is you can return steam games. As long as it's less than two weeks old and you've played less then two hours, you can request a refund.

 

Oh and I might add, Insurgency has very satisfying gunplay, which really drew me in at first. It's not a realism sim like Arma is, but I didn't want that anyway.

Guns actually have recoil, handle differently, and have realistic effects. Smoke comes out of the barrel after sustained fire. Dirt and debris gets kicked up when people shoot the ground in front of you, and there's a suppression effect which makes you think twice about peeking out to return fire, supposedly simulating what it's like to get shot at in a wartime situation.

 

Playing Ark Survival Evolved.

Survival game with dinos. My buddy would always get fucked with by other tribes on the PVP servers so I never cared to get involved. They started a new PVE server and I joined them. Lots of cool people and man oh man is it fucking scary trying to gather resources and build up a base and advance when suddenly a few raptors or a huge fucking T-rex comes at you from the trees.

 

The Final Fantasy series is on sale for iOS and Google Play. I have an Android so I think I'll get FFV since I've beaten 1, 4, and 6 (1,2,3 in US respectively) and I hear 2 and 3 in Japan was meh.

 

I spent many hours on FFV via emulator in the middle/high school days.
That was pre-PS1 where FFVII & VIII took the time afterward.

 

What do you mean 7 and 8 took the time afterward?

 

When I got a PS1, way back, I spent a lot of time on 7 & 8 and didn't touch the old SNES emulators.

 

Ah. yeah 7 or 8 aren't discounted. I guess I'll go in order.

 

Red Alert 3

I always liked Command and Conquer. This game has proven to be the campiest Red Alert yet, love it. Jenny McCarthy and Gemma Atkinson

 

I'm on the Call of Duty WWII train baby!!!! Pre-order - beta hits the PS4 on 8/25!!!!

 

Anyone get the new Uncharted?

 

The ones with the ladies as the main characters...? Or are you referring to A Thief's End?





Picked up Dariusburst for under $10 as part of a discount special on the PS Store...Woot.

 

Yeah with the ladies.

 

No sir. I need to finish the current game, first.

And then, maybe. But, I also have the newer Tomb Raider to take on too.

 

I just finished UC4 like a month or so ago. I probably won't tackle this until next year when the prices drop.

 

Anyone pick up Destiny 2? Came out today for consoles, I'm waiting for the PC release.

 

Do you still have the little pod thingy that was voiced a while by Peter Dinklage?
