I don't know what it is, maybe being a ****** art-college graduate, or something...but Sunset Overdrive is so aesthetically pleasing. The vibrancy is fantastic. I'm in love with it. Colors are ****ing great. More games should have them.

Deadpool (Xbox 360)

*ObiWanFan4life* · 11-04-2014, 09:56 AM

Alien Isolation (PS4) - It has great suspense, and the people in charge of the art design really outdid themselves with making the game look like the movies. The only problem is that the game has a few glitches and can be frustrating at times.

*Netkeeper* · 11-04-2014, 01:57 PM

Replaying the Layton series in chronological order. Waiting for my brother to send me Miracle Mask, so in the meantime I'm ****ing around in Layton's London Life...

Dawnatello Turtle Chick · 11-04-2014, 03:37 PM

Like I said several posts back I've been waist deep in Sunset Overdrive, really loving just how well the traversal system works in conjunction with blowing stuff up...

BUT then someone at my house apparently decided to reboot the router without telling me and booted me out of the game... somehow I got stuck in a continuous loop of trying to scale a building and kept getting Portal-ed back down to the bottom at the same place each time, had to abandon the mission & start over. Made me so angry I figured I'd just play something else for a while, so I played Stubbs the Zombie Rebel without a Pulse (Xbox) for a few hours yesterday. Such a simple, yet entertaining game... Awww, Stubbs, you just crack me up!!! Today I started back into Sunset, really going at the Collectible wrangling, plus seeing just how fast I can get moving around the map. Fun stuff!

On a side note, I wish people would just leave the router alone! Especially since other than my husband, no one besides me really knows how the thing works- I had no internet upstairs for the rest of the day after that. My hubby had to update firmware and everything once he got off work. My mom is so bad with technology she somehow accidentally set up a proxy on her laptop.... WTF? How do you "accidentally" do that? --- Sorry, end rant ---

*Cure* · 11-04-2014, 04:16 PM

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is pretty fun. I never got into past joints because I'm more into sci-fi shooters, but since this is future stuff, I picked it up and it's a blast.

*Powder* · 11-04-2014, 06:17 PM

Got Hyrule Warriors the other night & I'm just about done with it. Mad fun, I really like it. Could do without the ass & tit shots on the already ridiculously sexualized villain Cia, though.

Peanut · 11-04-2014, 10:17 PM

Eh, it's not so bad. Having played the One Piece muoso games I assure you it can be much MUCH worse.

Who's your favourite character to use?

*Powder* · 11-04-2014, 10:20 PM

Haha, I don't doubt it. Just surprised Nintendo would give the OK to such a boob-centric design, granted I'm probably forgetting some from the past that are equally revealing.

Unfortunately I haven't really gotten to experience all of the characters yet, as I've been sticking with who the map suggests you use during Legend Mode. So that's Link, Impa, Lana, Fi, & Gannondorf, so far. Of them, I think I enjoy Gannondorf the most. I'm super eager to play as Darunia, as the Gorons are my favorite race, & I imagine playing as a Poe will be interesting! I'll have to let you know once I play around with the roster more.

Just got 3 stars in Mario Kart 8 150cc
Now for the mirror mode...

I don't really follow any sport much present day, but I have to say I love the fandom of soccer. I love how loyal & passionate the fans get for their teams, less so here in the States though. I love how the whole world goes crazy during World Cup season- from richer areas to poor villages where everyone in town crowds around the 1 or 2 TVs that are available, everyone wants to support their team. I think more so than many other sports, soccer unifies countries, if not for a short time. We tend to get so worked up over various issues day to day, it's nice for everyone to be like minded every once in a while.

Yeah, but all the good ones are single player and that series loves to make you jump..... so bullet ridden floors & ceilings, does not a Resident Evil game finish! Lol.

I have that issue sometimes, the apathy of depression when I kind of get in a funk unfortunately affects playing games as well. I also have missed a lot of games over the years too due to my mom hating video games while I was a kid. So I've been slowly trying to grab up retro games plus the older releases I somehow missed & picking up new release titles I want, not enough time to play them all so I prioritize... It is what it is, I just try to enjoy what time I have.

Yeah, us soccer fans can be crazy and tribal

I'm glad you're fascinated by the culture of soccer fans - entire books have been written on the subject. In fact soccer hooliganism was part of my external discussion for my final uni assignment.

Sorry to hear that depression can affect your game playing. As long as you enjoy playing games when you're feeling well. That's what counts

Yeah, it doesn't happen very often, but when you're faced with the apathetic feeling depression brings and nothing is bringing you joy to fill that emptiness it's a real bummer that I can't even turn to video games... My medication regimen keeps me on a pretty even keel, but the only constant is change, thus- that will change.... Boy, am I a buzz kill or what?!

I'm finding it very difficult to bounce back & forth between Sunset Overdrive & Destiny lol. I keep wanting to divebomb people in Destiny & collect toilet paper... Anyone else excited about the Master Chief Collection coming out next week? We are, but it's honestly probably what we're least excited about this video game season, there are just a lot of great titles out or coming out shortly! Halo is a very special series for my hubby & I. Halo 3 came out when my hubby & I were first dating & it was our first game we played together, it will forever hold a soft spot in my heart because of that. I think if it weren't for that we might just hold off on it till later...

*Icebot* · 11-11-2014, 10:50 AM

Just played the New Super Mario Brothers DS.

tmntpower1988 · 11-12-2014, 10:37 AM

Star Wars Force Unleashed

*CyberCubed* · 11-13-2014, 03:45 PM

Mario Kart 8 DLC is amazing. Mute City and the Zelda track are the highlights.

The taste of what a potential HD F-zero game could be is amazing.

I cut my wrist washing up early this week so I can barely use my left hand and can't play videogames...
My girl was playing the new circuits today and I have to say I love Dragon Driftway. Can't wait to put my hands on all new content and challenge online ghosts ^o^

Peanut · 11-14-2014, 08:58 AM

So, I was lucky enough to get on the tip about that super limited physical release of Retro City Rampage for the PS4 that popped up earlier in the week. The preorder was only $20, but it's already going on eBay for $100. Insane!

Anyways, it came with a Steam code for the game on PC. I don't play games on my computer much and I don't really care to, so does anyone want it?

*Turo602* · 11-15-2014, 09:53 AM

I got Smash Bros. for 3DS a couple of days ago at Nintendo World and was given four "special" demo codes for the new Pokemon and since I won't be using them I've been giving them away. I already gave two codes out on a different forum and am left with codes for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire demos. So if anyone is interested, just comment which one you'd like and I'll PM you the code.

Peanut · 11-15-2014, 10:03 AM

Hook me up, dawg. Doesn't matter which one!

*The Stryker* · 11-15-2014, 10:04 AM

Dang. I want one.
