So glad Last of Us 2 finally got a release. Outside of playing some sports games, I haven't played a story-based game since RDR2 around Easter time.
So glad Last of Us 2 finally got a release. Outside of playing some sports games, I haven't played a story-based game since RDR2 around Easter time.
Picked up some games for a couple bucks each, all PS3: Thief, Dishonored, Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, Alien: Isolation. Anyone played any of these? Thoughts? Where to begin...
I hear great things about Alien Isolation. I have it on the PS4, but need to be in the perfect frame of mind for a stealth / hide yo ass kind of game. IE, I never got into Last of Us.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I really liked Dishonored. The abilities are a lot of fun, and there are incentives to do things in creative ways. The sequel is also really good.
I tried but my copy of Last of Us just crashes.Quoting Scar (view post)
Thanks for thoughts!
TLoU 2 has pulse-pounding tech

I really enjoyed Alien: Isolation, but I probably looked at it through rose coloured glasses because I’m a sucker for Alien, and its reverence towards the original movie won me over.
It goes on a little long, and at times it feels a little cheap (as in, like the game cheats against you).
But it has some awesome set pieces, it looks great, is creepy and tense as hell, and its in-canon story is really neat.
Love Alien Isolation. Truly scary.Quoting Scar (view post)
Oh here's something nice that doesn't matter for me.

Glad I bought it!Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
^ Out this week for PC and Mac.
Surprised they didn't go with a standard FPS, but I guess that woulda been too obvious?
Maybe something is lost in the translation from gameplay to trailer, but nothing about that looks fun or exciting to play.
Playstation 5 to be released late 2020. SSD, UI improvements, haptic feedback, etc etc.

There will be enough PS4 games to last me at least another year before I'll hop on the new one I figure. Heck, unsure what I'll want to play after Last of Us 2 anyway.
My unsolicited advice...and I know this may be impossible for a tech guy like you...adapt to being a gen behind. All the games still exist. You can pick up everything for nickels. The only sacrifice is online play, and really, who gives a fuck who was the god of some game two years ago? The internet is over it 37 seconds after whatever new online game comes out. I just bought four games for PS3 for two bucks a piece, and one of them you called a masterpiece (Dishonored).Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
The race to beat the newest game is stupidity.
The biggest challenge of my life begins...Quoting Skitch (view post)
Only the first year is tough. After that its a breeze.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
For context, when the Panasonic 3DO price was slashed in half, I dived. Spent a whole summer working my ass off to pay back my dad that 425$. But for one summer I was the cutting edge with my friends. Six months later they went bankrupt and Gamestop offered me 25$ for the system. Fuck them all. Buy late, keep everything, online play is for losers. Still have every system I ever bought.
I'll never buy brand new upfront again.
