Yeah, the ship stuff started in AC3 but it was very brief and stripped down, kind of like Origins.

With Black Flag, a good 50-60% of the game takes place on a ship if you spend time on it.

I was lucky to get black flag on sail

Ezio & AC2 was my favorite of which I played. I'm with King on the ship stuff.

*seinfeld theme plays*

Playstation now streaming service has lots of great horror games.

Silent Hill 2 and 3 (if you haven’t played these drop everything you’re doing and play them, especially 2, imo the greatest video game ever made)
RE7
RE4 (barely horror but ppl love his game, it’s not my fav personally)
RE Code Veronica (better than RE4 IMO)
Amnesia: Dark Descent is terrifying
Bio shock series
I’ve heard Soma is amazing, I just downloaded it, it’s in PS Now as well

Definitely play both Red Dead’s. I slightly prefer the first one but both are incredible. Horizon Zero Dawn is a great open world game. Also, RE2 remake is excellent.

All quality suggestions.

I just finished Horizon Zero Dawn a few days ago. Left it alone for a few months, then came back to it, got hooked, and finished it.

probably the longest game I've ever finished.

Ted Faro is a dick

The combat in that game is soooooooooo ****ing good. I could fight machines for hours on end, especially the bigger ones.

Still remember the first time I saw a Thunderjaw, I fought it for like 45 minutes before I could take it down and enjoyed every second LMAO

Story is pretty interesting too, even if it’s packed with tropes.

LOL, completely opposite. I sailed around for hours just taking on threesomes of enemy ship convoys. The whole war chant and jumping onto their ships for sword battle to kill everyone and plunder their treasure? Fuuuuuck yeah, loved it. Origins teased it, but Odyssey perfected it. Just installed Black Flag today, so excited to see what that provides.

:toast:

I wish they would make that Prince of Persia Redemption game. It looked good.

Black Flag can be a little repetitive at times but upgrading your ship is a pretty satisfying loop.

You can download a game engine for PC and fan made games. It’s pretty awesome. I have a shitty basic 3 year old Best Buy POS and it even worked on that.

I could have sworn I saw a thread for Ghost of Tsushima at some point, but I couldn't find anything. I'm playing it now and I'm completely hooked. Probably 15 or so hours in. Stunningly beautiful environments as you'd expect and I love the combat.

Target has buy 2, get 1 free going on this week.....includes launch day PS5 games too!

It's a really good game, possibly the best one of the year so far.

My wife and have bought copies of RDR2 (PC) and we played together online all weekend.

Godddamn that game is beautiful and immersive. Sometimes you forget until you go back...

This is not going to be an immersing, deep, experience but it may make you want to break out the old college bong and laugh your ass off and forget about 2020 for a bit...

Yeah I think it's my GOTY.

Who here plays Spelunky 2?

https://blog.playstation.com/tachyon...strategy=smart

I remember playing the original off a floppy disk in the mid 80s!! :)

Thanks for this - will probably check it out!

It's very much a roguelike (random floors, unforgiving health and damage situations). It is definitely not for the faint of heart: in fact, I think this could be the most difficult game I have ever played. If you want to play it coop sometime, let me know!

Imon, career stat tracking have been added to Super Mega Baseball 3!

Someone from CP introduced me to that game and I'm so glad. It's awesome fun. I started a franchise and spent like a whole night figuring out my team name, colors, uniform design, logo design, etc. I actually need to go back to that game. I haven't played it in a long while.

Yes I love it! Just wish it went through the entire career only goes through the last 10 years, guess i'll have to utilize the screen cap function. :)

I'm trying to petition these dudes to make a badass football game.

And there goes another year of my life...

Wish Age of Empires 4 would show up too. Gonna be fun.

The original Rome Total War was probably the best entry in the entire series. Medieval 2 was great as well.

None of the modern games have really come close to matching those early experiences.

I can't wait to see this game remastered and updated. It should be so much better than Rome II.

I was a huge fan of the original Rome (so much so that I had actually gotten it on mobile) as well as Medieval 2 although I think I ended up getting the Total Realism mod for it which significantly changed the game.

I have the original for iPad but have never played it, just haven't had time given I want to finish up my PS4 games.

I played the original game forever on PC with the XGM mod and then after I switched to Mac, I helped the Feral team get some mods working on MacOS as well.

Speaking of Feral, they're part of the team doing this remaster. They have been porting games to MacOS and Linux for a while and are probably THE gaming company for MacOS. They bring a wealth of experience and some of the things they've done with the Total War series in terms of bug fixes and adjustments were really needed. They're an awesome company and because of them, I have very high hopes for this game.

PS: Feral is who ported Rome Total War to mobile. ;)

Yeah here's hoping they do great things with this. I had never heard of them until I got the mobile game. I would love it if they could port Medieval 2 to mobile as that would be phenomenal to have with me.

Honestly, the biggest reason I'm stoked that Feral is involved is that it will be released on MacOS. I don't play a lot of games on my iMac, which is a shame because it's a 27" 5K with 32GB of RAM and an 8GB Radeon Pro 580. I've had it since 2017 and never really tried to see what it could do.

I can see why then. I rarely play anything on a computer, mainly just my PS4. I like mobile apps for when I am places that I am forced to wait for a long time to do stuff.

That's me too. I use my Mac mostly for productivity and work. And Chiefsplanet of course.

Most of my gaming is either on my iPad or PS4.

LMAO I work for the Government. I don't get fancy computers.

Funny.

I work for a tech company and my customers are all Fed Gov.

I guess it depends on the agency then. No doubt the government buys top notch stuff, just most of it never filters down to the 90%+ of the people who could benefit.

Oh no, I work for a tech company. I consult for the Federal Government, they're my customer.

I have a ton of job security because most of the agencies I work with need tech. Some of them are literally FORTY YEARS behind the times. ROFL

I just came from a place that has almost everyone on zero clients. Arguably the worst thing on the face of the earth. I felt special because I had a laptop, albeit an old one until they eventually upgraded key leaders to Surface Pros.

I created a royals all star team and a Van Halen team (logo like Frankenstein guitar pattern).

Love this game. Add stadium builder and it might be best game ever!

I would put Shogun 2 right up there.

Warhammer I and II are also excellent.

Absolutely, needs more stadium variety/editing.

Ask and ye shall receive.

A lot of PS2 games have gotten absurdly expensive on eBay in the past year or so. I was looking to rebuy all the Silent Hill games. Maybe some other games. I'm not paying 200 dollars for Silent Hill 3.

Woofta. Going to be a good winter. D2 and AOE 4? Sign me up. I still have a shit ton of other good games to play too.

So you're saying it's a good time to try to sell all my PS2 games?

I'd definitely look into it.

Downloaded Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 for the PS4 the other day. What a fun trip down memory lane it's been. I haven't played a Tony Hawk game in probably 8+ years and forgot how much fun they are.

This looks fun :)

Horizon Zero Dawn free for PS4 and PS5 until May 14th.

anyone hear of some game called 6 Days in Fallujah?

I didn't even know it was coming out; looks pretty fun; glad to see something non Call of Duty come out. / coming out.

Ya i've heard about it, I'm not big on Military or realistic shooters but I love the fact everything is going to be procedurally generated.

The Solus Project

I don't want to give any spoilers because it is so ****ing amazing.

Basically the premise is you are on an expedition to find a habitable planet and humanity is a million light years away hoping you find something.

You find something. But can you survive it long enough to report back?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3...Solus_Project/

It's an exploration game with a great story and just enough survival gameplay to keep you on your toes. Atmospheric as ****. Great soundtrack. You'll get about 20 hours out of it, 30 if you want to explore every nook and cranny.

It left me wanting a lot more games like this, so I think next I'm going to try Subnautica.

Yeah, and even some even way beyond 40 years as well.

bought a series s because well, im mostly a PC gamer, so i said what the hell i want to play MLB the Show. Anyways, nifty little machine. Enjoying it so far, game pass ultimate is insane.

Gotta get all my COD out of the way this week. Friday, Resident Evil Village drops.

Cant wait!

I'd highly recommend The Forest. I was addicted to that for a good 6 months after buying it.

This game looks sick.

Yeah, i think I'll be grabbing this one. Comes out at the end of the month.

I've been on the fence about it, gonna wait and make sure it's a finished product before buying.

That's fair. I'm feeling like this is either going to be great or mediocre. It's hard to deny how compelling the combo of Zelda BOTW, Fable, and DMC looks to be here.

It looks like a lot of fun...but that's always the hook. It's single player so I don't need to buy on launch day I can wait to see how it gets reviewed BY ACTUAL players not by the gaming sites.

So much drama on releases right now, I bought Outriders and the community is really in love/hate mode and crying about everything. I mean it's kinda broken but ya the reactions are over the top too. I'm like hey guys go play something else until this is fixed, not the only game in the world. :)

RE8 is pretty good so far. Really impressive graphics. The game is definitely influenced by RE4.

purchased/downloaded at lunch - after work, it's on!

Really liking it so far - played for 2+ hours last night.

I think I saw that I was 20% through??? I'm hoping it's not that short, as that would be a big disappointment. RE7 seem to have a good length to it, so I'm hoping for at least the same.

not sure if you've made it this far yet, but:

Yeah that was awesome. This game is really great so far. The part I left off at was

Got Stranded Deep for free with PS Plus this month. Pretty damn addicting survival game.

The wife went out of town last weekend, and before she left she ordered meMLB The Show 21 and it was delivered Saturday; I didn't even know she ordered it. So it was cool to have a surprise arrive.
;
I had been rocking The Show 18 for over a year since I picked it up used last year for like $15. Really enjoyed it.


Haven't had a chance to get too in the weeds with 21 yet, but like it so far. alittle disappointed that some of the career mode seems, basically, the same so far. some small changes, but overall, the feel is the same. Graphics look better; for some reason, the batting seems improved a tad. I'm still messing around with sliders and what not. But overall, it looks pretty great. Supposed to be rainy this weekend, so I'm thinking of having sort of a gaming weekend and really get in the weeds with it.

That's one of my favorite survival games, only gets better with age.

I just finished that part, and now am headed to the:

I have thought about picking this up, didn’t know if it was improved enough to update from 20 though.

Yeah, I'm not sure. I had been rolling with a pretty old '18 game; feels improved from that version; but not sure of 20 to 21.

some of the cut scenes on RTTS look/sound/feel dang near identical; (ie, when your coach/manager approaches you in the locker room)

Admittedly, I haven't played any other mode than RTTS thus far. probably check out march to October mode this week / weekend and see if that mode feels any differetn.

Downloaded the remastered Mass Effect games and playing the original now. Looks great and fits correctly on my ultrawide monitor without any mods or tweaking that may or may not work or stop working for undetermined reasons (**** you Bethesda).

While the idea of paying $60 for stuff I've already paid for and had for years is a touch annoying, I must admit that I'm enjoying the hell out it. I still have the old strategy guides, too. :D

After Anthem I'm not giving EA any more money, i'll wait for the free version. :) I've already paid for all the games and then a Wii version too. EA and Bioware are pretty much dead.

with me now having an xbox series s and game pass ultimate, you get all of EA's games for free under that subscription. Been playing games i would never have played because that damn thing has so many games.

Have never played any Mass Effect games despite owning 1, 2 and Andromeda.

Not sure why I didn't buy 3.

Greatly looking forward to purchasing when the price drops. :D

Finished RE Village this week. Really enjoyed it. As good or better than the last installment, and kept up the great/engaging storyline (with some good twists/easter eggs).

A lot of fun if you're a RE fan.

Yeah I finally got around to beating it too. That final boss was a real ****.
