backpackoat Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 PS3 Tomb Raider was my favorite game on the console. Granted, at the time I didn't play many games AT ALL so it never had much competition, but I absolutely loved it. Worst gaming news of the year for me was the absolute bullshit with xbox getting the new game an entire year before PS4. A complete fuck you to half of the fanbase. I was hiiiiighly anticipating that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninesapien Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 So my roommate just bought The Last Of Us and told me to play it. I put in about three hours earlier today and love it. Those goddamn clickers. Just started this myself on Saturday. So far I love it. The opening sequences are perfect, just what I want from video games! One thing that's kind of annoying is that I borrowed the console from a friend who doesn't have an official Sony controller - so I can't do some of the things in-game (like recharge flashlight battery) without the official controller. Still, great great game. Also agree on those fucking clickers. Also started MGS4 and I love it. Didn't really know what to expect, even though it came out seven(?) years ago!

caninesapien Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Last Tomb Raider I completed was Tomb Raider II on the Playstation when I was about eleven. Took me a while, cos I think some of the puzzles were not really meant for eleven year olds. I remember the huge hype when it was released too, about the graphics, the music, the level design etc. I remember it being a big deal at the time. I did have TRIII too but I never finished it.

stranaspank Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Honestly i am the same way. I hate watching a movie and not finishing it, getting into a tv show and stop watching. Same with games. I tend to also play games really late (see bioshock post above) so i weed out most that people say are bad or not worth the time. I do the same thing. I have to get all the achievements that are impossible or require multiplayer before I can move on. And I hate spending more than $20 on a game, so I've done pretty well just playing the free games with Gold. I was so happy Bioshock Inifite was offered up a couple months ago. I just played and finished it last week. So fun, and it melted my brain a bit. Going through it now on 1999 mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedshabazz Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 So i burned through bioshock infinite. On the last level of the game, my dog decided he wanted to play and ran into my 360. Heard the scratch of the disc and when i took it out disc had the circle scratch of death... Le sigh... Also i had an issue where i was getting achievements and it wasnt connecting them to gamer score or anything. It has perpetually said i have 5 achievements for the game but if you click on the achievements tab it says i have 20. Anyone else have/had this problem? Super strange...

dantheriver Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Should've installed the disc to your hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Unfortunately that would not fix my problems of achievements and gamerscore issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but your disc wouldn't be fucked and that's pretty important for attempting to grow your gamer score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkinglot Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I haven't played the FIFA series since FIFA 07 on PS2, but I think I'm going to pick up 16 for th XB1. Has the series been good recently, for any of you that have played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Just picked up two of these http://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Wireless-Controller-PlayStation-Anniversary-4/dp/B00ZSDTIGG Is your estimated delivery date September 18th now as well? I ordered one after you posted this and I swore it said the 8th at first. Also, I personally haven't bought Metal Gear Solid 5 (because I haven't played any of the other ones), but I'm really surprised at the lack of talk about it here. Really do wanna pick up the new Mad Max game though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really do wanna pick up the new Mad Max game though... There are plenty of videos around that summarize the crazy story if you care. I've played every Metal Gear game many times and I still don't feel like I REALLY follow it. Not having played the previous games should not be a sticking point to playing the new one. Everything I read about it leads me to believe it's Kojima's masterstroke. The characters in MGS always engage me just enough to sort of care about the plot, but gameplay is really where it's at. Can't wait to pick up MGSV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by the time I decided to start, I was already way too far behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been interested in playing and knowing about the games. But by the time I decided to start, I was already way too far behind. I've never played an MGS game before in my life. Some fellow VCers who have got me hyped on the new release a few weeks before it came out. I spent 1 day reading the insane impossibly complicated and convoluted backstory online before buying the game. I haven't had any issues. The games haven't come out chronologically so everyone is already confused based on timelines etc. You're no worse off reading some good summaries and jumping in than if you've been playing them for the last 20 years. Buy it! The gameplay is absolutely superb if you like stealth and 3rd/first person shooters. It's my favorite game of the year so far.

Derek™ Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah, just chiming in to say MGS5 is one of the reasons I bought a next-gen console way back when, and it's totally delivering. It's currently criminally underrated around these here parts, but that's okay. It's like a little-known secret. The amount of detail and content is overwhelming. I'm at 11% after consistently playing for the last 2.5 days - including a 7 hour marathon yesterday - and I feel like I'm barely starting to scrape the surface.

iwokeinrelief Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah, I've never played a MG game before, and V is fucking superb so far. Just get it and let the insanity wash over you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Alright guys you've convinced me. I'll probably pick it up within the next week or 2, haha. kidamnesiac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 MGSV and fallout 4 will be the reasons i buy a ps4 on whatever black friday deal i can find. After all the tomb raider talk a little while back i finally started playing through it. It feels like a more polished more violent uncharted which i am okay with.

bluedeni Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Loving MGS V. So far my favorite game this year. I had no idea there were so many diamonds laying around in Afghanistan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
