Do you even game bro? -General gaming activity thread-

[M0nsterB0y]

I really wanna buy the Mass effect remaster as i've never got around to playing it before.. but man £54 for decade old games, idk. Money is tight right now

Same here, I played ME3 long ago though, didnt beat it, but I remember I was really immersed into the game. It was really good. For now I just put it on wishlist and buy it someday when it goes on sale.

Haven’t played the remaster yet but I played ME for the first time in 2014 and ME2/ME3 for the first time in 2016 or 2017 and loved all of them. ME might be unplayable now though the control were kinda wack but supposedly they updated the gameplay. I’ll post my thoughts later this weekend after I play a little bit of it.

The reviews are out, and i've heard nothing but good things about it so far, graphics and gameplay included.

Never played the actual card game, but I bought some Magic The Gathering cards back in high school because I thought the art works were really cool. My first gamer tag came from one of it's cards and I used that gamer tag for years and years.

And I also remember playing a PC game long ago which is called Magic The Gathering: Battlegrounds which I thought was really cool once I got the hang of it.

It apparently goes good with sandwiches. I was just talking about MTG with a guy I use to get brisket sandwiches with back in the day and we’d eat these huge bbq sandwiches, drink beer and play halo 2. He was talking about his love of MTG and swore I played it with him and his crew a long time ago. I don’t remember it. I do believe I put away a lot of pulled pork sandwiches though lol.

Been one crazy 24 hours haha.

Just get Gamepass or EA Play and play them there. Way cheaper than buying the whole thing. I would say ME2 is worth every penny, even to this day. srs



Been playing Fallout 76. You would think there's more stuff to do now than it has had a year to bring DLCs and patches, but there ain't jack to do but find the tapes of survivors and exploring. WTF, feels so pointless srs. Besides that one dude that really loved FO76 due to building his fort, anybody else like the game enough to keep playing?

Ahh yeah, I see. You strictly want the remasters. The OG versions are there right now. I think EA Play Pro is the one that has the Remastered edition

[ScramFranklin]

Beat Alan Wake.

Started Psychonauts, would like to beat it before the sequel comes out (maybe an E3 shadow drop?)

Chugging through Tales of Vesperia.

^ Remaster is done quite well tbh, I'm surprised. Good to have the definitive version of mass effect now.


I just bought the game coz it was cheap a few days ago on PS5 ..... Yeah the artsyle is amazing, game is a definite looker.


But the chapter 2, electronic device puzzle thing kept giving me a ton of trouble, so I had to rage quit lol. I'll prolly get back to it later after I get done with mass effect.

lol i know exactly what you are talking about. I'm on Ch 4 now. 3 has had one of the most obscure puzzles imo, because there are several ways your brain can make a pattern, but only one of them is correct. If that makes any sense. Sinse the puzzles are primarily pattern recognition from one area with the required info, and you input it into another area.

[GeneralSerpant]

Anyone play LA Noir?

[dcbone30]

Started Mass Effect Andromeda. Man, the dialogue, voice acting and facial animations (as expected) are pretty terrible. 6 hours in, I put it on par with a b-quality game (like Elex)

[sooby]

currently starting on Tales of Destiny DC (english patch translation came out)

[M0nsterB0y]

I got it for free in Rockstar Launcher when I bought RDR2. How's it? The graphics looks pretty dated but if the investigations are really good I might play it

[zhengterry]

Playing ICO, got it together with Shadow of the Colossus HD remaster.

Pretty cool set pieces and I guess puzzle platforming but had to watch youtube playthroughs for the most part. Still, a pretty neat game though.

[PermaNoob]

Same!

It's been on my wishlist for 10 years. I thought I remember the price being pretty stubborn.

South Park games were $60 forever and I finally got them on a sale once.

Same, wanted to see what it was all about and at first, was about to turn it off but when I got to the gameplay, couldn't stop. They don't make platformers like that anymore. That purple/grayish character is freaky lol

[M0nsterB0y]

For a guy who just dropped $1400 on an OK 30 series graphics card, you sure have a lot of other parts that need upgrading. Maybe you should have started there and waited to see what happens with GPU prices

Zotac 3070 just reached $2,000 in my country. And Zotac is one of the cheapest brands. As how things are, TugOfPeace may have actually made the right choice of buying it at $1,400, if he's not willing to wait until 2022 or 2023. I dun goofed also, I should have just bought a 30 series card back in march when they were only about $200 more expensive than msrp lol.

[M0nsterB0y]

Finally getting on that GTA 5 time. Graphics is still good even without mods, and Los Santos is so immersive I feel like Im in a real city. Sometimes I enjoy just freely walking around.

[maori-rap]

I haven't played past ME3. The reviews for 4 and Andromeda have not been convincing.

I have ordered 'Just Cause 4' under GAME PASS, but haven't downloaded or started playing yet. Has anyone played JC4? I have heard it is somewhat repetitive destruction with not much variety to keep the player fully immersed.

glad someone else here enjoyed it! It took me until the dance party/levitation world for me to really fall in love with it.

I beat it yesterday. https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...post1639214923

After completing it, I found these videos from "gaming university" on the minds/worlds in psychonauts, and what different parts represent. Really interesting stuff.

[eod8989]

Bought a CX 48 man every game looks good on this even the old ones

Nice choice. I'm not a big gamer anymore, but I have the 55" CX and it's great.

[M0nsterB0y]

Getting some Detroit: Become Human time done. North is hot af. I wish they make some sexual game with graphics like this





Kara is cute af too hnggg would totally bone an android

[BearyManilowe]

About 27 hours into Dragonquest 8 for a nice retro JRPG playthrough. The random sexual innuendo in these games is usually lolworthy

[Pumpinmirin]

Just beat kh3. Pretty meh game and had no idea wtf was going on as I never played the spin offs but still felt kinda weird closing a 20 year chapter in my life lol.

Not sure what to play now, hoping misc can help me decide:

- go back and do a full tales of beseria run. (rushed the story first time through).
- full ff12 tza
- ff8 remaster
- KH 1/2 replay (bought that big kh123 bundle on special).

Wish we had some really good rpgs coming out. Probably need to get a switch at some point but the price is quite high.

Well, I played FF8 and honestly I didn't find it to be that good. Square Enix also dropped the ball on the remaster which is also not so good. It had it's moments but the story was a hot mess, the characters not really likeable and I have very mixed feelings about the battle system. FF 6, 7, 9, 10 are far superior in my opinion.

right now playing some Legend of Heroes Trails to Azure and really liking it so far. Also got done with Star Ocean 2 which was pretty good, maybe unpopular opinion but I think I liked the first one better. But it's been awhile since I've played it. I have some other legend of heroes games to go through and by then I thinking between the Dragon Age series or Dragon Quest 11. It'll take me awhile tho

I've played all these before so I know what I'm in for with ff8. Just no new games have me going yeah boi and I'm a student for 1 more month so I wait for the under $20 deals.

Playing fire emblem 3 houses on switch it’s pretty good never played a game with combat like this I guess final fantasy tactics is similar. Lotta depth to the game graphics kinda meh. Got a switch while I wait for ps5

[mgftp]

Jumping into A Plague Tale after it was finally after it was on deep discount. Really enjoying it thus far. Top tier 3rd part game.

Great game.


Presentation and story was good. Game looks on par, if not better than a lot AAA titles despite being an Indie AA title. Gameplay is hit and miss, but I didnt mind the simplistic element to it.
