How is AC:4?

Im playing Arkham Origins atm. The multiplayer is a great concept but it isn't pulled off that well.

Killzone: Shadow Fall. Game is fun and looks awesome, but the controller is typical Playstation standard, totally unworthy of the job. I want a keyboard and a mouse ...

Im not the biggest Assassins creed fan but IV has been pretty good sofar , about half way through it.

Got my hands on World of Warplanes, and my god how ad this game is compared to war thunder. Horrid controls, way to few maps and rather bland tactics

How do you like the Wii Donkey Kong? Wife and I found it way harder than the old ones for some reason, maybe the wonky co-op or the funky stuff they want you to do with the wiimote. Maybe we just didn't give it a fair try, but something was offputting for sure.

Beat Bioshock Infinite. That was a pretty crazy story. I saw the final twist coming but there was a lot of layers there to make it interesting.

Ahh so you feel it is a good game? I have it untouched and wonder about it now and then. I got it preorder cause they unlocked the goal for XCOM which I actually wanted I liked 1 and 2, just haven't had the initiative to hit install yet

Still playing XCOM.

Infinite? Yes, I'd have to say I did like it after all was said and done. I'm not sure I like the gameplay more than 1 & 2 but I appreciate the story. It reminded me of Inception, not in plot but rather the complexity of it.

I've been a big fan of BioShock Infinite, really good game imo.

As you should.

I'm waiting for Xmas to get Enemy Within.

If I see that go on sale low enough I'll snap it up. Sounds like it's just enough content to spice up another playthrough or two, which is about right. A little something extra to give you an excuse to play again

I'll probably install Infinite when I'm well and truly laid off for the season, got a week or three to go likely.

Ugh, guys, just spell out Assassins Creed; otherwise I think you are talking about Armored Core. That franchise is older and better, they have dibs on AC.

^This, I have to think hard everytime someone mentions AC and there is no talk of giant robots

^double this. I keep wondering when they put Romans and Pirates in Armoured Core.

Finally digging into Assassins Creed 4 and Killzone Shadowfall since I got my PS4.

Assassins Creed 4 is awesome. Utterly redeems the series from Assassins Creed 3. I've put at least 10 hours into it, and haven't even reached memory sequence 6. There's just so much do to. I've even started collecting because collecting in this game gets you things (sea shanties).

Shadowfall is Killzone through and through, so that's a plus if you like Killzone but a negative if you don't like Killzone. It's also hard. Harder than previous Killzone games. If you don't make use of your wallhack device, you'll die. A lot. But feth - if you want a purdy game to show off to friends what the PS4 can do? Shadowfall.

Shame Arkham Origins Multiplayer crashing so often and is so buggy. Its actually not to bad.

Yep..

Also, bought the 2 cybertron games (they were 25% off so). Loving it.

Another for Armored Core being the only AC out there

I played Assassin's Creed 4 for a bit the other day, and it was loads of fun - But one question, will I have to play through Revelations and Assassin's Creed 3 to understand the story? I played through the first three, but kinda got burnt out on the series for a long time.

On-Topic, I started Dishonored. I'm loving the setting, and the story is neat....but the controls are holding it back in my opinion. Overall, worth my $10 for sure.

Revelations sets up 3, and contains a decent plot twist (that like no one totally saw coming), and Assassin's Creed 3 does conclude the storyline of Desmond Miles. Black Flag takes up a different point of view after the events of 1 through 3.

Also as for Dishonored, I had issues with the controls too... I feel like it's a game best left for the PC.

I may as well only own two games

Still playing Space Marine and Fall Of Cybertron.

Well, fudge. Looks like I'll be playing through Revs and 3! Haha.

And I came to the same conclusion with a friend - the controls probably work way better on PC.

Ah, and those are both really fun games! I recently steamrolled through FoC, forgetting how easy it is with all the weapon upgrades

They do, they work pretty much flawlessly. My main problem with Dishonoured is that it is far, far too easy to simply run and gun your way through the game. I got annoyed with constantly being discovered by the guards on the final level so I went on a murderous rampage that made things so much simpler.

I bought the latest humble bundle so I am currently downloading Sanctum 2 and Serious Sam 3. I have also become strangely obsessed with Godus despite not being able to actually do anything other than tediously sculpt terrain.

Steamrolled is definitly the right word. The harpoon gun on FoC....

Just finished A Link Between Worlds. Really really good game. Now to continue finishing Pokemon Y

The Stanley Parable. I think I played it for 2-3 hours today... and I don't think I've finished it yet, but I'm not sure. I've never played a game like it.

Started playing Fallout 3 again and am enjoying it immensely. There is just so much stuff to do and find and the glitches make it that much more ... entertaining ..

I would always eventually get bored and make a super duper landmine and grenade trampoline. You only get to jump once, but you can see for miles
