Cat in the rack Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Decided to play Tomb Raider, seeing as it came free with gold this month. I'm about half way through and encountered I think 2 tombs total. This game should probably be renamed Lara Croft Whining Simulator.

lyla Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm playing Game of Thrones (Telltale Games) ATM. Interesting storyline, and it feels really different than their Walking Dead game Quote Link to comment
Cat in the rack Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Is that the new one, StudentBudget? How is it? Yeah, it's not bad, probably wouldn't have paid for it though. The storyline's pretty bland but the gameplay's pretty good, similar to Assassin's Creed in places.

SuperUnison Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I got Cities: Skylines this week. Very much enjoying it after the sack of balls that was the last Sim City. It's not too challenging at the moment, which is quite nice for someone like me who likes to play games to relax for an hour or so. I've already accidentally managed to poison a bunch of my citizens with sewage in the drinking water. Oops. I'm really interested to see what the mod community (the computer type of game modifications, not the guys in sharp suits with mopeds) come up with for addons. It's apparently built with mod friendlyness in mind, which is fantastic. 2 Quote Link to comment
Chrestomanci Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah, it's not bad, probably wouldn't have paid for it though. The storyline's pretty bland but the gameplay's pretty good, similar to Assassin's Creed in places.I second that, except for me the gameplay more than makes up for the crappy story, so I didn't mind paying actual money for it ($10 on the PS3). Actually, I think the story is fine the characters and the voice acting are horrendous though.The shooty parts are great. It has climby bits that are identical to Uncharted, and the few actual tombs are cool, too. Quote Miles ran consecutively: 13.1/26.2 50%50% Pushups done consecutively: 16/20 80%80% Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I picked up a new tablet and was flipping through the play store.. I keep hearing how mobile gaming is the wave of the future but I just don't see it. The majority of the mobile games seem to be mostly blatant rip offs of each other, or barely engaging. How many angry bird/temple run/candy crush rip offs can these companies crank out?It reminds me of the Facebook heyday when companies starting churning out farmville/mafia wars clones. Most are rip offs, the originals tend to be ok to good though. Look into Clash of Clans, we've got an NF clan on there that's really active.

Cat in the rack Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I just finished Bioshock Infinite, I know, it's been out a while, but I wasn't overly impressed with Bioshock, I thought it tried too hard to mimic survival horror, but it was the most recent 'free with gold' game so I gave it a go. The gameplay was a little monotonous and the revival respawn mechanism made it a little easy. Still, the story was brilliant, the skyhook parts were fun, and it was a great example for all games as to how escort missions should be done. 1 Quote Follow me on snapchat or instagram @ catintherackSquat: 115kgBench: 77.5kgDeadlift: 130kgTotal: 322.5kgWeight: 68kg Link to comment

Merrin Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just finished Last of Us. Feeling really conflicted about the way it ended. Started on Left Behind, loving it so far. Ellie has such natural movement, such an authentic attitude, and I love the interactions with her friend. After that, I think I'll finally start up Black Flags. 1 Quote Sylph Spellblade | Level 10 STR 5.2 | DEX 4.2 | STA 6.2 | CON 11.32 | WIS 6.75 | CHA 7.3 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Battle Log Epic Quest!

Cat in the rack Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have a 4 week "break" starting soon so I decided to order a bunch of old playstation games off amazon, increase my collection (I use quotation marks for break because I have 2 assignments due in at the end and a lot of studying planned, unlike a lot of people I know). I sadly didn't keep any of the games I had when I was a wee lad due to younger relatives, that'll teach me not to give stuff to kids, so about 2 years ago I bought a PS2 and some games (Jak and Daxter 1-3, spyro 1-3, crash bandicoot, and ratchet and clank which sadly crashed about two thirds through the game).Anyway, Rayman arrived today, which should help repress any memory of the Raving Rabbits series, provided I scrub my brain with a curling iron enough. Also on the way is Ratchet and Clank 1-3 (hopefully functioning copies), Micro Machines V4, Bomberman (not in any way like the Xbox arcade abortion) and Jak X. I know Jak X isn't the classic that is Jak and Daxter or Jak 2 (and to a much lesser extent Jak 3), but i figure I should have the whole series, excluding The Lost Frontier which even Sony tried to pretend didn't exist when they redid the games for PS3.

Nubreed000 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Doom & Destiny on Android. If you're a fan of JRPGs then you owe it to yourself to play this. After that I am thinking either Secret of Mana or FF6: 2 classic RPGs from back in the day that I somehow missed out on. Quote Link to comment
Viscura Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Started Pillars of Eternity yesterday. I backed that thing way over 2yrs ago on Kickstarter, so I got super excited to finally play.

Oramac Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 im currently jumping between AC3, Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite...have found all 3 fun for different reasons! I'm (very sadly) new to live and love the fact that you get free games each month...this pleases me! Pray tell, what do you get a free game per month on? o_O After that, I think I'll finally start up Black Flags. Absolutely fantastic game. It was the first Assassin's Creed game I tried, and I'm actually a little scared to try any other ones since I hear they're all worse than AC:IV. However, the Honest Game Trailer (SPOILER ALERT!!!) for AC:IV is hilarious. Also, possibly NSFW?? If you work with a bunch of prudes. Or people that don't like pirates. EDIT: I should probably say what I'm currently playing. I play WoW too much, and I'm anxiously awaiting more awesomeness from Star Citizen, which is easily the most visually stunning game I've seen.
