The "I just played..." Thread

[SinisterDeath]

Well. the real full name is..

FTL: Faster Than Light

 

 

I did manage to get to the final boss thrice...

The last time? I destroyed him.. 3 times. And (I assume) was on the last bout.. and then out of no where he pulled a hail marry and blew my ass up.  (didn't even see it coming. :sadface:)

How did you beat the second battle? All those drones just tear me apart...

[SinisterDeath]

Oye, forgot to add some stuff to this recently...

 

Beat Bioshock: Infinite.

Good game, though not worth $60 imo. (mostly cause its under 20 hours of gameplay)

 

Played a bit of the new Tomb Raider... Haven't beat it quite yet.

Defiance, not a huge fan of the over the shoulder pov for shooters

Picked up Assassin's Creed 3 early last week...

Been playing a little bit at a time but not hooked... didn't care for how they didn't do a recap on the games between 2 & 3, and 'expected' you to know wtf happened between them... (no idea who that lady is, from the 'ancient' people that's 'guiding'  him is all about. Though it seems obvious its about that 'adam & eve type scenes you see from the 2nd game.)

Knights of Pen and Paper +1

 

Honestly I'm addicted to it because it reminds me of Pokemon but what it really is is basically a DnD single player RPG.

You pick a "party" of 3 people to start with and there is a game master and there seems to be a loose story line you follow and a world and stuff and it's sort of like your party is playing DnD and you're just kind of there in the background watching them but you still get to make all the decisions about where to go and what to do and customize their gear and whatnot.

The writing is a bit quirky and kind of funny at times. Like the place you start is Default Village and there is a Maya Me Beach (get it?) and some other stuff.

 

My party is an Alien Mage, a Werewolf Cleric, and a Pizza Guy Warrior.

You get a few different choices about what you can have in your party to start but you can unlock stuff and customize it more later.

The Last Of Us.

 

Great game.

Gameplay was.. average. Basically uncharted, minus the acrobatics. Shooting on par with it. (far more shooting then I expected)

Story was superb.

However.

HOLY CRAP that game is one depressing downward spiral of despair.  If your depressed. Don't play that game, you'll probably just get worse. But it did have some really good parts, mostly in the idle conversation during gameplay, and between CG.

How did I miss this FTL discussion. One of the few games that has inspired me over the past few years to pick it up. It helps that it was cheap on steam of course.

 

As for beating the final boss and those drone waves? Hope, really. For me the most dangerous weapon he has is the multi-missile launcher. A standard defense drone only takes out one, but the following two usually start some fires causing me pull crew from systems etc etc.

 

I actually had a play with the Mantis cruiser the other day, and boarding with a Heal Bomb is INTENSELY powerful. Just make sure A) You don't beam onto a ship with no air and B) Don't let the bastard jump away with your strike force still on board.

Why is this game so hard? It's from like 900 years ago

The first one? Never played it. I've played the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. In the third I recall that it actually started getting challenging around the 4th level. I believe there are like 9 levels. The fifth one on the other hand I find relatively easy, though I haven't played on the hardest difficulties.

Yeah the first one. It's kind of fun I guess.

I just thought it would be interesting to play since my computer probably can't even handle Civ 3 let alone 4 or 5 and I wanted to check out the series.

[GoldeneyesND]

I pretty much stick to multiplayer so I can play with friends. The last game I enjoyed playing was Halo 4.

[Theodora]

We are having this Video Game Hangman and I would appreciate people inolved turning in.

 

The more the massacre the better, does asomeone remember Doom and Blood? but some RPs are very good, guess whatI mean?!

Oh dude, I can not agree more with the difficulty! I remember wanting more of a challenge from a RTS, my dad was like "You know, there was this strategy game I played when I was younger.. think the name was civilization, let me find the game for you"

 

No way it's going to be entertaining, a game from like 15 A.D, tried it, lost after 30 minutes everytime for like 50 sessions in a row. Good game.

I have been playing the Yakuza series for the past month and i can't believe how underrated it is.

It's a niche product, very japanese and very text based. There are no dubs in english, only subtitles. And the environment and story is very unique. 

It's also a series of games where you can sink SO much time into. 

 

It's a shame they haven't been selling well because SEGA announced that they wouldn't bring the 5th installment to the west due to poor sales.

But i do recommend it. It's very fun.

Legend of Grimrock

I know it's been out for awhile but I picked it up for $4 as part of a Humble Bundle sale and I'm loving it like I knew I would

It's a modern dungeon crawler that gives you that classic feel but with a nice update on graphics

Mark of the Ninja. 

 

Fantastic game. Great art style, excellent gameplay. I'm impressed. It's not the longest of games, but since I got it on Steam Sale, I'm happy.

[Zhon]

Just went back and replayed Shadow of the Colossus.  Forgot how great that game is.

[SinisterDeath]

Conquered Assassin's Creed 4.

 

Not impressed with the ending...

[wotfan4472]

Played Halo 4 yesterday in a lobby called Heavies. With tanks and heavy weapons. A lot of fun. Also playing Tynon and having a blast. Actually found that game here in an add.

[wotfan4472]

New update.... just last week got Destiny and had a blast!! Hit level 12 in under 24 hrs worth of game play!! 

[MasterAblar]

Imperivm - Las Grandes Batallas de Roma... Some Spanish game, basically the same as Cossacks 2. It's actually pretty fun, although pretty simplistic.

[WWWwombat]

Been playing Europa Universalis IV for a while.  Way too addictive and kind of disturbing because it turns me into an imperialist jerk xD.

[Clovdyx]

Is there a Destiny following here?

[SinisterDeath]

Dunno. No ones made a thread about it.
