Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

Are the expansions worth the money?

Absolutely. Hearts of stone is a better story but bloodnand wine is beautiful. They made a completely different world for it. Very colorful and bright while the former is dark and ominous.
Both of them extend the game by 50+ hours total, more if you like to play a lot of side quests which I recommend.

I just got a new gaming rig that I put in my home theater. I fired up Witcher 3 on max settings and wowsers, beautiful game. Also jacked up the settings on Shadow of Mordor and GTA V and those look amazing as well.

Will GTAV ever be on the lower side of $20?

Good Lord. I've never seen a game maintain high value for so long.

I learned through Reddit that GTA V is on sale at Game Stop for $30 and includes 3.5m of the online money which is supposedly $50 regularly. The coupon code is on the receipt. What people are doing is buying the game, copying the code, returning the game, and repeating. I don't know how the online part of GTA V works, but Rockstar really did a bang up job of deflating their currency!

Mother ****ing Jones you can add me demonpenz if you want to play the show together. I got madden 17 battle front and NBA 2k17 if you want to ball.

I've never seen a game get the day/night cycles so perfect. The sunsets are beautiful.

The lowest I saw it was $25 with $1 million in game currency. I picked it up. I was waiting forever for the game to go down in price.

quick reviews of games I purchased during Steam winter sale

Shaolin vs. WuTang -7 a 2D fighter with characters from Shaw brothers Kung Fu movies
Salt and Sanctuary -8 this game is Dark Souls with Metroidvania style gameplay. leveling/skills are handled with the Materia system.
SF X Tekken -5 the SF fighters are faithful to SF and the tekken fighters have been dumbed down and reduced to a few special moves and no combos. uggh
Motorsport Manager -8 a sim for managing a F-1 race team. its simple and straight forward but there is a lot of room for expirimentation and customization

**Gonzo** · 01-10-2017, 12:04 AM

Final Fantasy XV:

I will preface this by saying I have never played a FF game in my life. I don't know how but I've never got around to it.
That being said.... this is just a beautiful game, guys. They really put forth the extra effort.
That being said as well... unless you're a huge FF Fan, wait for a sale.
It's really polished but for the love of God is it an average game.

Don't get me wrong, it has its moments. When you fight Titan? Very cool.
But it's just nothing special. The fighting mechanic is so very average. This games' fighting mechanic makes Witcher 3's look like Mortal Kombat as far as that's concerned. Very repeatitive and boring but then again, a very beautiful game with a decent storyline.

7 out of 10.

I got into nursing school, so I don't play much. When I get on sometime this week I'll add ya man

**Gonzo** · 01-13-2017, 10:33 PM

Well, for the 3rd year in a row I'm going to give you guys a quick list of my top games for the year.

This year was better than the last couple. We had a lot of great games come out and it's looking like 2017 may be even better.

10. Firewatch
This game is more than your typical walking simulator. It has an awesome storyline and unique graphics. For the price, check it out.

9. Final Fantasy XV
I've been playing the shit out of this over the last two weeks and I've never played a FF game in my life. Watch the animated movie Kingsglave if you can, though. It helps with the storyline. The graphics are beautiful, as is the music. And hey, who wouldn't wanna ride a 5ft tall chicken?

8. Battlefield 1
This game is what COD wishes it could be. You actually have to work with a team to accomplish your goals. The music, graphics and (unfortunately brief) campaign are all breathtaking. Too many machine guns, I must admit. However, the MP is really great.

7. Witcher 3 Blood&Wine
I know, I know, this is an expansion. FU though. It plays like a full AAA title at 50 hours. Buy the original, get both of the DLC's and enjoy 200+ hours of gameplay.
Do it. Do it.

6. Titanfall 2
This game had little fanfare but it's what the original should've been. A good single player campaign and an excellent MP game with great SFX and graphics. This title got overlooked thanks to BF1.

5. Madden
I can't believe I'm doing this but I've got to admit it. EA did enough this year to finally sway me back into the fold. The game is polished and very accurate for once. Best madden since 2005.

4. The Last Guardian
This is a quaint, wonderful game that we've waited nearly 10 years for. It's a puzzle-type game with a giant chicken-dog and an Asian boy. Good times.

3. Doom
You like shooting the crap outta demons? You like gore and heavy metal music with wonderfully creepy settings? This is your game. Enough said.

2. Dark Souls 3
This title was a lot like bloodborne regarding the aggressiveness needed to play. It's exceedingly dark, haunting and wonderful. If you've never played a DS type game, check it out. You will love it.

1. Uncharted 4
Naughty dog is the best developer over the last four years. Enough said. If you're unfamiliar with the series, congrats on coming out of your coma.

Miles · 01-13-2017, 11:56 PM

I don't play a whole lot but your uncharted rating reminded me of how I need to get caught up on naughty dog. Only played the first one back on PS3 and have been meaning to play the next two before jumping into the HDR PS4 pro goodness.

Probably should finally play though Last of Us as well. Started playing it a month ago after work and really digging it until I got to the first point where mutated dudes wrecked me and I was too tired to want to figure out the various mechanics.
