Underrated franchise

Helmsphere 09-27-2018 07:50 PM

Been playing Halo Wars 2. Really loved the first one and has really ever been the only RTS game I've ever been able to beat in my entire lifetime.

Also dusted off FighterZ, since more DLC came out, I know I suck but would you be willing to play me Kalyx and maybe teach me some things?

ClockShot 09-27-2018 07:55 PM

Back at Dishonored 2 after finishing Spider-Man.

Especially the first game. I didn't even so much pick it up on the cheap (~$5) for the story so much as I was really just interested in gaining an appreciation for the one game that didn't seemingly try to be just another GTA copycat.

Speaking of GTA, I'm debating whether it's worth it to keep it just for SP so I can occasionally try to do collections for various trophies I haven't done yet and also randomly switching to Trevor and seeing who I can goad into fights/how much chaos I can sow with him. Online feels way too bloated with content and very grind-y. Might bump it and my saves off sometime next month for those reasons as well as to try and give myself additional space juuuuust in case RDR II needs an inordinately large chunk of my storage.

Finishing off Spider-Man, such a great game.

Started Forza Horizon 4 and FIFA 19, very addictive games.

Sadly, i started a new job with different hours, so I have virtually no time to play outside the weekends.

I think the 3rd game is a real gem. Takes some bold chances with its story and presentation. Gameplay is crisp. I had a great time with it.

Ive only played 1 and 3 tho

I mean, I did like the cut-scenes and the story was solid, but I didn't feel compelled to engage in side missions or the races that become available after a while. Also, I don't know for sure but maybe I irrationally soured on it way more after my final decision netted me the ending I got.

Additionally, III brought back items to collect. It brought back Playboy magazines to collect from II, which I didn't feel bothered to collect in either game, plus III adds the things you need to wiretap the junction boxes. This shows collectibles in a certain area. Then you had album covers, Vargas paintings, REPENT Magazines and HOT ROD Msgazines. After II, all the collectibles in III just felt shoehorned in to me.

Not a terrible game, but if I had to recommend the games in a given order I'd just tell anyone to play them in order as that's how they seem to me to be in terms of quality. III just feels a tad uninspired but still an interesting story. 7/10.

You know, I didn't even realize there was a PS2 version. I remember it being a big deal for PC for two reasons: f-bombs per capita in the script and supposed shitty driving controls. Never played it, and don't know why I remember that being a thing.

Disturbed316 10-01-2018 04:04 AM

Mafia 2's ending is incredible, loved that game.

Lock Jaw 10-02-2018 04:40 PM

Playing "The Wolf Among Us". Just finished Episode 1.

Only other Telltale game I have played is Back to the Future, and I remember the episodes in that game being... uhh... more "playable" and less of an "interactive choose your own adventure movie". Also remember the episodes taking longer to complete. This one finished and I was like "Huh? That's it?"

Destor 10-02-2018 04:47 PM

Started Spider-Man (2018)

Fignuts 10-02-2018 05:19 PM

Back on the GTA Online kick. Got the Terrorbyte. Its rad as fuck.

I'd be down to play. In a similar situation so it would at least be an even fight

Re: Mafia 3

Really solid. Not an all time great but I had fun. Gets very repetitive at times and there's a shit ton of traveling from one end of the map to the other for those fetch quests like getting the weed which are my biggest complaints. If the DLC goes on sale I'd get those.

Side note: I loved the trailers with the Ice Cube rendition of *forget the actual name of the track* Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven and I haven't been able to find it anywhere for some reason other than a couple of YouTube videos that just pulled what they could from the trailer.

My Final Heaven 10-03-2018 02:21 PM

I'm still on Destiny 2, I realized I left the Sleeper Simulant quest half finished so going back and getting that. It's supposed to be an absolute beast in Gambit :y:

Fignuts 10-03-2018 03:09 PM

Its pretty much an absolute beast in everything. I need to finish it too.

My Final Heaven 10-03-2018 05:30 PM

Also, PSPlus got Friday the 13th yesterday, I played a couple of offline matches & it's fun. I like that besides the different versions of Jason & a couple recognizable counselers, they included all of the classic counselor archetypes :lol:

Helmsphere 10-03-2018 06:58 PM

RE7 is kicking my ass and I feel struck

Splaya 10-03-2018 07:45 PM

One week till Black Ops 4 drops. I’ve had so much fun playing Call of Dury WW2 that it’s making it very hard to drop the money for BO4

Where do gangstas go when they die?
They don't go to Heaven, where the angels fly...

Been playing this again on the One, maybe Kalax will teach me to be decent at it.

Do I have you on Xbox?

don't think so

fignuts82 if you want to add

Helmsphere 10-05-2018 12:33 PM

About to do so when I turn on my one.

Emperor Smeat 10-06-2018 11:51 PM

Is there a way to turn off the fight announcer in DB FighterZ since he's a bit annoying.

Think the last time I was annoyed by an in-game announcer was probably Perfect Dark Zero's multiplayer.

Fignuts 10-07-2018 12:53 AM

Check sound settings maybe. Doubt it though.

A.J.K 10-09-2018 10:19 AM

started Final Fantasy 8, love me some Quistis.

Destor 10-09-2018 11:39 PM

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-10-2018 02:25 AM

Yeah. Shocked not only at that but how good the story was. Like, really good. I hope they take the sequel someplace cool. I'm not a purist so I'd like to see
SPOILER: show
Norman be using a symbiote on Harry in the tank and have Harry as Venom or even a venom/goblin combo


Looking forward to the DLC very much. Even though the first one is more Black Cat, still should be good.

ClockShot 10-14-2018 07:10 PM

Platinumed Dishonored 2. My summer of platinuming games sitting on my PS4 that stretched a little bit into fall (Spider-Man's fault), is a success.

Probably take this time to catch up on some TV before Soul Calibur 6 hits shelves on Friday. Then, the main event next week.

A.J.K 10-16-2018 04:55 PM

just picked up Ratchet and Clank on PS2

Fignuts 10-16-2018 05:02 PM

After plenty of grinding, I'm at the point in GTA online where I can make 1 mil in a couple hours of running my businesses. Can pretty much buy whatever I want now. Unfortunately I'll be dropping it for who knowshow long as soon as rdr2 comes out.

Jordan 10-18-2018 12:11 AM

UFC EA Sports 3 on XBOX One. I don't know if I like it better than EA Sports 2, the striking seems odd, but I haven't played enough to master it yet. Waiting for Red Dead 2.

Add me on there Helmsphere. I might be willing to pull the game out again.
