What VIDEO GAME(s) have you been playing?

I paid my 4$ so I decided to slog through Far Cry 2 to completion. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re an Opus Dei practitioner.

Far Cry 3, however, is gangster as fuck. What an experience.

Sevej: If you want to have your mind blown, at the beginning of the game when you’re sitting at a table with a bearded dude to the right and the blonde kingpin to the fore, when he leaves, don’t run. Just sit there for a long time.

Worth watching, especially if you’ve played it through once. I got up to take a shit and came back to a surprise.

Also, if you have an RPG handy at the end there’s an alternate ending. When I’m done with 3 and Blood Dragon I’ll play 4 again.

This month PSPlus has some decent free titles. I like Eat Them! a fair amount on PS3. It's basically Rampage, but quite a bit better since you move around and destroy a city in isometric view, and are able to craft your own monster. It's reptitive, but if you dig kaiju stuff then it's one of the better games from last gen and maybe even than kaiju games of this gen. It's good for short bursts of boredom.

Now that Wip3out has VR capability, it gives a brilliant reason to get some PSVR gameplay in. It's a much better game now in VR. I'd still rather play Redout though. Better soundtrack and gives a purer racing experience.
Racing in VR doesn't cause nausea as I would have expected. Probably due to 100 yard focal point.

Diablo 3 on PS4 has seen a fair amount of play as well. I still haven't platinumed the game. (I don't view trophies as important at all, but this is the one game I actually and close to getting platinum) after 18 months of play, I recently found out how to play online with others. My paragon went from 230 all the way to 850 after playing greater rift runs with a couple people who are paragon 2500+ on level 150. It was a frenetic display of exploding colors all over the screen. I sat back and watched my paragon bubble explode over and over again. Insane. There must be some cheating going on, because every item they had equipped had three gems in them, and legendaries. How the hell do you get gloves and belts, etc. with gem slots?

The D3 thing - They are modding plus also probably have one guy running as an xp mule (full xp bonus gear, and games, and some slots that normally don't exist in the wild) because the Grifts add up each individual members xp bonus - plus the group xp bonus.

I tried that Pete, just for the heck of it.

However, finished Far Cry 4 last weekend! What a game! Almost 100%-ed it, except for that Arena grind weapon! Min might be not the greatest Villain in Far Cry, but I like him a LOT as a character. Got a little repetitive in the end, especially if you sweep everything off map like me.



Compared with 3, much better overall story arc, more beautiful scenery, great gameplay features (auto drive is awesome), and a mini helicopter. I feel though 3 is a little more exciting in environment due to presence of beaches.

Sevej -sold me on buying a copy. I'm not all that far into it yet, but...

Color,
Do you play DriveClub VR?
I need to get wipeout.
I also need my wife to quit hogging the PS4 with her Dragon Quest Builders.

Nah. I'm pretty casual with racers. I steer away from the realistic titles and prefer to play the weirder stuff like beach buggy or the ski-doo racers. I got a copy of grand tourismo with my VR stuff, and immediately sold it, still sealed.

Just to warn you guys who just got Far Cry 4, it does get repetitive! Some tips:

1. Unless you *really* love open world games, forget about the collectibles. Just get the money from whatever chest you come across. You'll have plenty for your needs from that. I collect all the chests at the first and I have to spend money on every weapons, upgrades and weapons paint just to keep my wallet from being full. You'll stuck with 2 million wallet for a looong time.
2. Hunt to increase your inventories. This should be a priority when you have visible animal spot on your map and if you need it.
3. Get the skill harvest 2 herb from 1 plant first. That's one health syringe from each green plant on the map.
4. Forget about using your bow to take down a Rhino. Blast the damn thing.

If you do want to get the collectibles:
1. The Mohan Ghale Journals are worth it if you want to know more of the back story, and there are only 20 of them. Buy the map for this if you want it.
2. The others (mask, letter, propaganda & wheel) are not important. However, each of them usually lies with some chest. So it's also a good way to get more money, if you don't want to *all* the chest. Buy the maps for these if you want them.
3. The chests... are not important, but some chests are hidden in hard to reach place. For some people this might worth the journey. But having uncollected chest may drive some people crazy. Therefore I'm not recommending buying the loot map for most people. They also don't count toward completion.

PS. Buy the map by region at a time!

While at the Avengers movie tonight a friend told me that they're releasing a Conan video game next week. Anyone know anything about it?

Conan Exiles just came out. I think it’s an mmo.
