I have spent far too many hours on that game.

Anyone having a crack at Tom Clancy's the Division? I have had it for a couple of days. Great game. Based on the same gameplay as Destiny but post-apocalyptic NY where you are killing humans not aliens.

Anyone like wrestling simulations?? Where you get to be Vince McMahon or maybe Eric Bischoff?? Well TEW2016 comes out in the next month or two and looks absolutely fantastic.

I've been a long time fan of the TEW/EWR series. I've wasted way too much of my life on those games. I'm looking forward to it as well.The Nickman wrote:Anyone like wrestling simulations??

I didn't think Adam could improve on TEW2013, but from reading the Devloper's journal he's really gone above and beyond. It's going to be excellent!Green_Hammock wrote:I've been a long time fan of the TEW/EWR series. I've wasted way too much of my life on those games.

Re: The Video Game Thread
I can see that it will get tiresome like Watchdogs. I haven't been playing it all that long and am already half way complete so after that there isn't much else to do but to roam around aimlessly killing baddies. The first expansion isn't due until around June / July.

I keep going back to NBA2K16 or Battlefield 4. They are still my go-to games.

There is a massive jump in the differnce in the guns. After you get to level 16 you can get a gun that has damage of about 20000. At the moment i am level 15 and my guns has a rating of 4000.Lenny Leonard wrote:I have it, and destiny is exactly what I thought when I started playing itManchild wrote:Anyone having a crack at Tom Clancy's the Division?

Re: The Video Game Thread
Playing the Division on PS4. Like it so far, but certain points can get boring and repetitive like Ubisofts other games like Far Cry and Watch Dogs.
If you are playing with friends the Dark Zone is good entertainment.

Playing "7 Days to Die", zombie survival game with lots of exploring, crafting and base building. Everything within the game is able to be destroyed, buildings, bridges, can tunnel. Tip if anyone does play it, change days from lasting 50minutes to 120 and 18hours of daylight, otherwise days go way too quick to accomplish anything.

Started playing Rocket league recently, plenty of fun with mates, especially if you're as bad as I am.

Re: The Video Game Thread
What is it??
Re: The Video Game Thread
Basically a soccer game using cars in an indoor arena, 1 on 1 or 2 on 2. Good fun and time killer, they've added a basketball version as well, can't believe how awesome some people are at it watching them on YouTube.The Nickman wrote:What is it??

Re: The Video Game Thread
This sums it up (although I usually play 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 and there are a couple of other modes available) but undersells it a bit, what makes it fun and gives it the 'rocket' part of the name is that the cars have boosters which you can use to jump and kind of propel yourself through the air to take shots and defend.Manbush wrote:Basically a soccer game using cars in an indoor arena, 1 on 1 or 2 on 2.

A lot of the fun I've had comes from the fact that because your in a car and have these rockets, you have to anticipate where the ball is going to go, start driving there and launch yourself early, as you've got to hit the ball with momentum. You can't just run a player over there and hit the kick button once he receives it like a normal football/soccer game. In my case this usually ends up with me either completely missing the ball (in attack or defence) or c***ing it up bad enough to score own goals or interfere with my own teams shots. The games are quite short so it does serve as a good time waster as Lenny mentioned. I picked it up in the summer steam sale (I believe its still going?) but AFAIK its also available on console.
Re: The Video Game Thread
If you can get a trial of it its worth doing so (I played a mates version who was visiting at the time) before buying in case its not your thing. Although I believe steam still lets you claim a refund if you do so in a quick enough period and have low enough hours played, so you could always buy it and refund if its not your go (making sure you read the conditions ofc)

Bought Destiny yesterday. Started playing it this morning. The storyline makes no sense at all. I had been playing it for about 45 minutes and still nothing had been explained to me.
Gameplay itself is quality though.

Re: The Video Game Thread
Playing 'this war of mine ' on xbox.
It's very addictive, slightly depressing and I think impossible to win.
Basically it's set in a war torn eastern Europe country. You need to rebuild your shelter, barter with your neighbours and ward off intruders.
You can play up to 4 game characters at a time.
It take a bit of thinking, because your decisions will influence the characters who may end up committing suicide if you are too aggressive in your actions.
Worth a look.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

I'm a big fan of the gameplay, I'm not big on first person shooters, but yes, the storyline was a massive let down. I finished the game and still don't really understand what it was about.Notaroboticfish wrote:Bought Destiny yesterday. Started playing it this morning. The storyline makes no sense at all.

On another note that would not be a bad idea. I could see big corporations / sporting teams paying big money for this game to lure people to their shops / events.
