Armored Core: Verdict Day.

It's okay. Could use better controls though. Sad that I feel like the original AC series (I had played up to Another Age and Silent Line) had better controls than this.

I bought Child of Light on my WiiU the other day. My god this is a beautiful game. And good so far!

WAAAAAGH BF4 frustrates me..
Mah team mates are utterly useless.
Worthless pilots. Can't fly helos for gak.
As tankers. Feth no. They have no concepts of firing arcs or watching rear flanks.
Objective holders. Feth no. It ruins their precious K/D ratios.
USELESS FETHIN STEAMING PILES OF GAK.
I'm so close to simply deleting the fethin game.
But me running solo and capturing objectives without team support has worked so far. So might as well keep it up.

If ever a game needed a tutorial for aircraft control it battlefield.

Idunno... planetside2 flyer controls could be preeeety harsh. I never got good enough to dogfight, I could fly my mosquito from base to base and shoot at stationary targets but that was about it.

I spent an entire day in the training level learning to control the helos.

Dying light

My K/D in BF4 is bad, but I do capture/defend objectives, and follow the orders I'm given

Looking for a game to help with loneliness. Y'know, something to fill the void. Anyone know any?

Any type's good, but I'm trying to avoid ones that I have to be online to play.

The Mass Effect series is a good trilogy of games.

Assassin's Creed 3 is good and takes part in a scenario that's been rarely covered before (American Civil War). Great story.

Command and Conquer series for strategy games.

Witcher series for the currently best RPG series that there is.

Dragon Age: Inquisition if you want an offline MMORPG.

Diablo III on console is awesome, better in Co-Op.

Risk of Rain is a really good action indie roguelike.

Civilization V remains being the best turn-based game.

Dishonored is the Thief 4 everyone has been waiting for. Excellent game.

Fallout series is top tier too. Same goes for Skyrim. PC Master race of course.

Freedom Force is a very interesting yet dated strategy game. A very good one to add.

I just got my last achievement in BF4, no longer do I have to use the UCAV and Bomber spam

I believe that's what the Test Range is there for

This seems to sum up the game. Some teams can co-ordinate with little more than the leader designating an objective. Other times it is like herding cats as 3 members of a 4 man team are snipers and run off in different directions to spend their time missing shots. One of the last games I am convinced was full of people in the wrong game mode; no attempt to capture objectives, just running after kills - and usually head long into enemy fire

I find it funny i actually find myself liking 'command and conquer 3'. I was unaware of the original 'command and conquer' because i played the crappier version on the n64 and that's how i got into the computer ones and never saw the cutscenes for the original. I must say they're actually rather fun looking now that i've finally seen a bunch on youtube.

Only played diablo 3 on the computer and can't stand the end-game grinding and ridiculously highly competitive gaming of blizzard games.

I was always curious about 'dishonored'.

Some don't like 'fallout 3' but i'm rather curious about the previous ones. I liked fallout 3 and only played the smallest amount of fallout 1. The game over screen sounds like such a massive f**k you to the player though.

With the 'witcher' series i find Geralt to be such a massive man wh*re that it's ridiculous. I only played the first game but for a dude with cat eyes and an undead/necromancer look on his skin he sure does get around. Women are ridiculously easy in that game and when i say women are i mean almost all the attractive women can be boned and some with little more than a paragraph worth of dialogue. I only wish i was so lucky.

@SkavenLord: (good choice of warhammer fantasy faction btw even if they aren't as powerful as they used to be with 'end times' not included) Avoiding games you have to be online to play is tough because that pretty much gets rid of all the steam games available. If i were to recommend a game it'd most likely be 'deus ex: human revolution'. If that isn't your thing go with 'xcom: enemy unknown' as it should be on console as well though i'm not sure on the console port and how it was. Deus Ex: HR is nearly the most perfect game i know and if you get it on a steam sale it's about 5 USD and 'xcom: enemy unknown' i've sunk 800+ hours into it and it's expansions and is fantastic. That said the slingshot DLC for xcom enemy unknown is nearly worthless. Enemy within though is fantastic and EXALT are fun if a fumbling faction to stomp. I only wish there were more opposing factions or they were detailed more. EXALT was so much fun i almost wanted an EXALT dedicated campaign to play. If only there was one that existed i'd play it to death. As long as they can have super awesome gene mods that make xcom ones look like crap i'm totally in.

Sanctum 2 is great fun with a friend. Just don't get in to an argument over tower placement. Take it out on the enemies . that's what they're there for.

Soon. I shall raid the Jefferson monument with the Lyon's pride squad

Apparently a significant portion of the jokes and gags in Saints Row IV have gone over my head because I haven't seen 'They Live.'

Including an entire mission, which I have a distinct feeling would have been utterly hilarious if I had seen the film...

Yes, it would have been.


I picked up 80 Days for my tablet

http://www.inklestudios.com/80days/

And I've been having an absolute blast. It's kind of a choose your own adventure deal where you play as Passepartout escorting Phineas Fogg across a steampunk version of the Earth. Pretty fun, and only one of two games I've actually paid for on a mobile device. I'd say worth it.

With the 'witcher' series i find Geralt to be such a massive man wh*re that it's ridiculous.

How does this influence how good the game is? That'd be like saying Dragon Age Inquisition is better or worse because there's gay people in it.

You get collectible cards for bedding women in that game, right?

Yeah, I can see the problems with that.

Yeah, the trading cards were a stupid idea. While being looking for pickups is Gerald's thing and vice versa, it was kinda overexaggerated. Apart from that, though, the game's top-notch and it sadly is one of the last RPG series that dares introducing actual moral conflicts instead of that Bioware crap.

The second game scraped the cards as far as I am aware.

Someone gifted me Gun World on steam . Playing it.

You're a pimp on a world where plants grow guns, and you're fighting an alien invasion.

Seriously.

It's pretty rad.

I laughed so hard at that point that I forgot how to breathe. Every part of that mission was pure awesome.

In related news: I've beaten Saints Row IV's story mode... I might go back and finish up all the missions, but I still have the DLC expansions to play through. I'll probably hold off on it until after I finish moving.

I finished my Titans playthrough on Gihren's Greed with max allignment last night. I'll probably start up a game for Casval's Zeon, to celebrate the impending release of Gundam the Origin (in theaters... it'll be a year before we see it here).

How is Gihren's Greed anyway? Heard good stuff about it so far.

Well it's just personal taste really. Anyway i'm conflicted with the game because if i needed fap material i'd just look at p**n but it's got a very in depth lore. If i want to play a video game then i just can't combine it with pervy stuff. It halts the game up for me. I will admit though that when i saw the scene on youtube of triss swimming in the water and later being erm 'done' by geralt was rather hot. They didn't really show the sex if i recall though but holy crap does triss have one nice body. I'd tap that any day but i'd never be so lucky in real life.

So yeah on the positive side of the game it does show a lot of darker stuff and it has a non-tolkien version of fantasy that works really well. It's fairly unique but i find the sex scenes to interrupt my immersion and i'm a pervy guy.

The other issue i had with 'the witcher' or at least the first game was you either screw over one party, a different party or everybody but you. The choices in that game are so final and extreme as if to force consequences of your actions by not having any way of learning more about a situation or the ability to repair an issue.

I tried playing The Witcher, but the combat system did my head in. I just could not stand it. What's the point of graphics, if all you can do is zero in on whether a little icon blinks or not.
