I started playing GTAV

I don't understand the hype thus far

[Trotskilicious]

you mean mainstream advertising has led you wrong? who could have known

[Tchocky]

Signed up for the Quake Champions closed beta. Might be neat.

Prey is the next game on my list. Will hopefully fill my need for a fun FPS RPG...I need to find one to fill the void until the remake of System Shock comes out.

Anyone try Bravely Default on 3DS? It received hyperbolic reviews suggesting Square had finally delivered a grand, traditional jrpg to rival those of yore, which got me mad hard to play it b/c I'm an eternal FFiii/chrono trig fan

But...it just hasn't wow'ed me yet. Graphics/music are great, but the story's kinda thin and the characters and the voice acting strike me as kinda boring and silly. Did I just grow outta this genre? What's going on?

Anyone play Mass Effect Andromeda?

My man. FFIII/VI and CT are my desert island games for sure. But that's probably what happened, or you overplayed them like I did. It's hard for me now to go back and revisit a lot of stuff. I think I went through CT like fifteen times.

I remember hearing that in order to get the best ending in BD, you had to go through the last dungeon five times or some shit. Totally put me off of playing the game.

The story mode is pretty lame. The whole joy of that game is going online and just fucking other people's shit up. It took me about 2 and a half years to get sick of it, and yet I still log on a few times a month out of habit.

IGN gave Persona 5 a 9.7, calling it the new gold standard for JRPGs

Welp...

Guess it was too popular. This thing was like a myth. It supposedly exists but I've never actually SEEN one.

Been looking for a flat crt tv to play ps2 on. Had some bulky piece of thing that I couldn't stand having in my apt.

Will gladly downgrade to 24" flat from 36" bulky

I thought the missions were pretty fun in GTA V, better than GTA IV for sure. The story and the characters are fucking stupid and badly done though. I don't give a shit about online gaming, but it took me a long time to get bored of just exploring the map and fucking shit up. The planes are pretty fun

[toase]

Sounds fun, will try the online mode


I'm only waiting for my new memory arrive

[toase]

memory arrived today

game is the same, I guess I need to do something else I still haven't googled about it

[run2pee]

Hey breeg? You play the shit outta gta iv right? Can u share some tips to get better at driving? I was ace at car chases and vehicular assasinations of all kind in San Andreas but I absolutely suck at driving all cars in iv, and it's infuriating. Chased fucken Lyle Rivas for like 20 minutes the other nite thru four or five different neighborhoods before finally ice his ass on like fifth try. It's not supposed to be this hard is it?

[Trotskilicious]

is this the only place on the internet where nobody plays overwatch or

[toase]

I am digging GTA now that I am past the first missions

I think it's more fun on the controller

[Trotskilicious]

you were judging a game before you even played 20 minutes of it?

[LaBelle]

I started playing the sims 4.
If any netphorians want to exist in my world, just ask.

I enjoy Overwatch.

NA League of Legends finals were amazing this year came down to the last game in the series and where as you expect the teams to play conservatively with so much on the line they were throwing haymakers, game was a bloodbath

My fav team lost though so I'm bummed, so close

I'm convinced they were the better team it's just they made a mistake and veteran teams punish small mistakes brutally

[Elphenor]

Much more exciting than football

[Trotskilicious]

that shit is fucking lame dude

i think the worst aspect is that it seems to reward nothing but bad behavior, being obnoxious, self absorbed, or arrogant is "fan fave" kind of shit, i think everyone under 24 should be sterilized at this point

[Elphenor]

You don't see really any of that in pro play

The occasional spam laugh

I think Riot wouldn't allow BMing beyond that

I slew Ulfric Stormcloak's sorry ass and sent his band of whining white supremacist fanatic babies packing for the hills. I also killed Emperor Titus Mede II. Next I am going to purge Skyrim of every last Thalmor. Big changes on the way Tamriel.

[redbreegull]

Look, the Empire is corrupt and oppressive and deeply flawed. They are still better than the alternative. It's like would you rather Afghanistan have a corrupt US puppet government or be ruled by the Taliban?

The whole conflict didn't even make sense. The Empire outlawed Talos worship because they had no other choice than to keep fighting a war they were going to lose. And if the Aldmeri took direct control of Skyrim, what do you think would happen to all those Talos worshipers? Things would be much worse. I feel for the Nords and believe they should be able to practice their religion, but I have no sympathy for the Stormcloaks, who were just an ethno-nationalist terrorist group. In his own city, Ulfric had non-humans living in a fucking ghetto. His entire movement was a sham cover for his super racist agenda of purifying skyrim of non-Nords

I killed the Emperor because I do think the Empire needs a change of leadership and vision badly, and under a new regime and with the Dragonborn on their side, new possibilities may open into dealing with the Aldmeri.

[Trotskilicious]

anyone surprised that poots is one of those guys who likes to roleplay fantasy racism

[buzzard]

The White-Gold Concordat brought about a pretty blatant breach of rights that would be protected in our world by Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights, not to mention its intrusions upon that proffered by Article 14.

The key is colorblindness. Imagine waking in the early 1960s to find yourself sharing a wagon with Martin Luther King Jr. and his cohorts, on your merry way to a series of executions provided for the lot of you without trial. Imagine further that you played Morrowind as a Nord and still wince at the memory of all the scowls and being constantly referred to as an n'wah.

When you realize that the Nords are a downtrodden minority of Tamriel, you'll see that you effectively got behind a burqa ban and more.

[Trotskilicious]

i didn't pay attention to any of that stuff really to be honest with you i was sooooo high and looking at pretty trees

come to think of it i rarely pay much attention to fantasy stories these days its all the same bullshit in a new skin

game of thrones is allegorical metafiction
