NSR: Video Game Thread

I know I've said it before... but... if you've played the first three you've essentially played UC4 before. It's really the same game with prettier graphics. Stealth-ing might be a bit better though.

 

Yeah I guess I got spoiled. Playing alot of Mordor and Titanfall 2 on PC. Both pretty games that are actually fun to play not cinnematic experiences.

 

Titanfall 2's single player campaign is God tier.

 

Yeah I should play some more of it. Been playing alot of the mp.

I've been working on this puzzle since my birthday


it's gonna look nice on the wall in my game room.

 

what iteration is Civ on these days? Just installed steam on my new pc, logged in and realized I haven't acquired a new game since 2010, unless you count the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition.

When I originally bought Civ5, my pc was 4 years old and just barely made spec, and then I started working 70 hours a week. Maybe it'll be more fun when turns don't take 5 minutes.

 

Civ VI.

 

Civilization is on VI now. Art style is different than V, difficulty was too easy at release but they might have tweaked it a bit to make it more of a challenge.

 

Oh and they did Civilization: Beyond Earth before VI. I haven't played it (supposedly you need to get the expansions to make it worth playing).

 

It was disappointing

 

Thanks for the conformation, I'll stick with Endless Space and Stellaris then.

 

I've probably put more time into civilization than any other series. I played that one maybe 5 hours.

 

Horizon Zero Dawn. This is easily the best looking open world game on a console to date.

 

I'm curious about it. It appears to be a well balanced experience and fun.

 

You would never guess that Guerrilla Games (Killzone series) made this. I honestly don't know how I'd classify this game. You can tell it's been inspired by Ubisoft open world games and formula as well as Skyrim, Far Cry, The Witcher and a host of others.

 

I heard its going to stay an exclusive. I don't think I'm going to get a PS4, although, FF7 "redux" is less than a year away...

 

Oh it's definitely going to stay exclusive and PlayStation only as Guerrilla Games is owned by Sony. Their first party studio games never get ported to the PC either.

 

Gears of War 4 not sure I care either

 

Yet another game in a series that you've basically played before if you played any of the first three... but upgraded graphics and all that. I'd buy it used or on a huge discount only.

 

I don't remember who on here introduced my house to Stardew Valley, but my wife has literally invested the better part of week into that game already. My daughter and I miss her...

 

I love Stardew Valley, it's like video game crack. I think @Ke1n might have gave it a shout out before I did. It's in my top three for favorite game of 2016. If you didn't know it already it was made by one (yes one) person.

 

It was a gift for Christmas. Figured now would be a good time to play it. Played 1.2 chapters in first act and hardly give enough of a shit to keep playing. Maybe in another 3 months I'll beat another 2 chapters

 

Overwatch Rant:

Competitive mode in Overwatch (qualification match)
35 consecutive kills with D VA with a quintuple kill and did not get either MVP or POG.

 

That is honestly very impressive. It, of course, feels like it was made by a small studio, but one person? Crazy.
