Chargin' through the Left 4 Dead series now. Been a great week for gaming!

[CyberCubed]

Playing Rise of the Tomb Raider finally on PS4, is it just me or is this game a combination of every other game in the last 5 years? Open world stealth and action gameplay, crafting, skinning animals and looting corpses, climbing walls and cliffs, throwing cocktails and can grenades, action set pieces, etc.

Literally feels like Uncharted, The Last of Us, the previous Tomb Raider, Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, and Max Payne 3 all rolled into one game.

Been playing Final Fantasy XV.

Officially my Game of the Year! The open world is the most immersive I've played yet, combat is fluid and the characters are some of the best in the series.

Btw,
Noctis = Leo,
Gladio = Raph,
Prompto = Mikey,
Ignite = Donny.

I can't be the only one, right?

I'm not sure if I should get Pokémon Sun/Moon or Pokémon X/Y for Christmas. I'm currently, more or less, in the middle of Omega Ruby(4th gym beaten). It's fun but not as fan as RBY was. Then again, I have no nostalgia for the 3rd Pokémon generation at all. I didn't play RSE back in the day.

If you decide, get Sun/Moon. XY was one of the weakest generations.

haha I played Sun/Moon for about 9 hours before I got bored and I only ever beat one totem/Gym. This happens to me every generation.

I was just about to say, haven't you said the same thing for like the past 3-4 pokemon gens?

What was the last Pokemon game you beat the Elite 4 and finished? DP, or R/S?

You're definitely not the only one. The TMNT template is definitely there. Great game so far, but I'm hearing a lot of polarizing opinions regarding the second half, so we'll see.

[Icebot]

Just played True Lies on SNES.

[Cure]

Dishonored 2 is a club banger but I'm pretty upset that when I checked my stats, I somehow have one kill that I don't even know how it happened. Now my no-kill game is rooned.

[sdp]

I stopped playing Pokemon Sun after 9 hours and only reaching the second island. I guess I was going to stop there like tradition of Pokemon games has been for me since Gen II but now that the legendary Pokemon to be acquired you need to finish the game I guess I need to get on it before March.

I'm pretty excited about Breath of the Wild, I hadn't really cared much until these past few trailers, I haven't been as excited for a Zelda game since Twilight Princess so ten years ago, wow. Can't wait for the switch reveal in a month.

[Icebot]

Just purchased Super Mario Maker on 3DS.

[TurtleTitan97]

Got Assassin's Creed III for free on PC and started playing it yesterday.

[CyberCubed]

Dishonored II is my game of the year. Played through it twice in a row, first with Emily then with Corvo. Its actually amazing how many different ways there are to play the game, not to mention all the stuff I discovered on my second playthrough.

Man, its sad so many people are wasting money on generic games when gems like Dishonored II go unnoticed.

[AquaParade]

I'm really enjoying The Last Guardian at the moment. Go in with an open mind and you're sure to have a great experience. Camera and controls are finnicky. If you are sensitive to those things I'd wait it out.

[Ninjinister]

I got my early backer copy of Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero. This game is gorgeous.

I wish I'd remembered about it when I got my Xbox One to change my console of choice, though because it's a bit laggy on Wii U.

[Icebot]

Just played Super Mario Galaxy 2 and completed the purple coins of Rolling Coaster.

How is it?


Also, could someone help me find a Gears of War elite controller?

[TurtleTitan97]

Just played Transformers: Devastation on Steam after buying it yesterday while it was on sale, and got Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for free today.

It's a lot of fun. I'm a beginner at Super Mario Maker and I'm just learning the basics. I have the Wii U version too. I hope to be able to make a level someday and share it.
