You say "aside from gaming" as if that matters.whitestazn88 wrote:slowly picking through skyrim, looking to get mass effect 3 soon, but i don't like to spend money on games when I only play like 2 hours a week. def gonna get the last of us though.
and hoping to get a new laptop/pc sometime in the next few months to play that diablo 3, but i don't want to spend money on a new rig when the one i've got right now is usable for everything i need aside from gaming.

don't bother with ME3. it's slightly better than ME2 but still nothing more than a mediocre game (at best).whitestazn88 wrote:looking to get mass effect 3 soon, but i don't like to spend money on games when I only play like 2 hours a week. def gonna get the last of us though.

it's so dumbed down it makes me sick. it's not an rpg it's not a 3rd person shooter. it's repetitive and frankly even the graphics kinda suck. all you do is use the same weapon throughout the game, you always shoot from cover because the level designers made sure you have a crate, a mound of debris, or something else. even advancing from A to B is actually a series of jumps from one cover place to another. a completely artificial feeling. oh and they ruined the illusive man.
Skyrim's story isn't all that. It's ok, but it's nothing compared to previous ES games.Gillipig wrote:One thing I've noticed is how little graphics really matters. If the story is good the game can get away with poor graphics.
Take Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic as an example. Made in 2004 but still fun to play because of how good the storyline is. Now take Star Wars Force Unleashed. Much better graphics but awful story! Only played something like 30 minutes before I got bored of it.
It's wonderful with a game like Elder Scrolls V Skyrim because it has both. Good graphics and good storyline.
make sure you get the undead nightmare dlc. i dare to say that this expansion is even better than the game and red dead redemption is an awesome game.tkr4lf wrote:Gonna be giving Red Dead Redemption a go here in a few days. Looking forward to that, as the youtube videos have all looked cool as hell.

Unfortunately I don't have a choice as to what I get to play. My nephews are coming to visit and bringing their xboxes, so I asked my brother to send the game down with them so I can play it. I'm not sure if he has the GotY edition or not, so I may or may not be able to play the zombie part. Either way, I'm sure I'll enjoy it.DiM wrote:make sure you get the undead nightmare dlc. i dare to say that this expansion is even better than the game and red dead redemption is an awesome game.tkr4lf wrote:Gonna be giving Red Dead Redemption a go here in a few days.

Unfortunately, this is the truth. And thus most new games are crap.DiM wrote:Gillipig wrote:One thing I've noticed is how little graphics really matters. If the story is good the game can get away with poor graphics.
sadly this is mostly valid for old gamers.
just look at game sales and you'll see nice graphics and massive marketing are all that matters these days.
youngsters don't have the patience to read elaborate stories, take part in long dialogues or challenge their brain for hours to solve a puzzle. they don't want to explore, they want to be guided, they don't want to read pages of text, they want action and finally they don't want to be challenged, they want everything handed to them on a platter filled with lots of achievements.

Always some good games, and you pay what you want.
I've been living the life of free to plays for a while here... Strictly speaking, by the games you listed off, I'd say we'd probably get along well.rdsrds2120 wrote:I'M CHEAP. So I'm full of Free To Plays.
Team Fortress 2 is the most notable, though, I guess I do have some games borrowed from my friends. Beat Skyward Sword a while back, but other than that, I'm not much of a gamer (I play Brawl regularly, but that's a party game so it doesn't count).

Yeah, that game is pretty awesome, but I just don't feel like having another huge game on my PC at the moment...TheMrAwesome wrote:World of Tanks
