RETIRED - The all inclusive video game thread

Has anyone played the Bioshock Burial at Sea DLC?

I debated buying it on the Spring Fever sale but didn't. Reviews for it seem to be good though.


I've been playing the new Tomb Raider for the past week or two (this PS+ thing is really starting to pay off) and it's surprisingly good. Like a rain and blood-soaked Uncharted. Funny that they've copied the game that copied them, but it's still great. A few too many quicktime events but they handle them better than most (they're treated more like a slow-mo bullet time event than a glorified cutscene). The weapons upgrade systems is simple but effective and forces you to explore the environment looking for salvage. There are a ton of different and satisfying ways to dispatch your enemies that keeps the game from getting monotonous. Overall i'm quite impressed.

I enjoyed this game so much I've already played through it twice, which I never, ever do with games anymore.

It was a great game, no doubt. Looking forward to what they do with the inevitable sequel.

I thought TR was excellent too. I would compare it more to Batman than Uncharted. Much more adventure oriented than Uncharted. Uncharted is an action game.

It definitely married elements of both series. The final third of the game seemed very action heavy while the first two thirds had a Metroidvania progression system. I thought the plot was a little undercooked though. Lara went from being shocked about her actions to killing peeps left and right with no problems five minutes later.

Having played through Bioshock Infinite twice since I got it for Christmas I can say that not only is it maybe the greatest game I've ever played, I think it may have actually made me a better person in some way. What a colossal mindfuck and a great work of art.

I appreciated it much more the second time I played it. Fantastic game. Probably would have been my game of the year if the Last of Us was never released.

[Orpheus]

That's some high praise for Last of Us, I started it but then got totally addicted to a few other games. I'll have to play that ASAP.

I still need to play Last of Us as well.

Bioshock Infinite was indeed a mindfuck. I only played it once but for about a week afterwards i watched tons of videos on youtube...behind the scenes, plot summaries, theories, etc...very rarely does a game stick with me that long.

[CopperTom]

Last of Us is a must play. The "relationship" between the main characters is possibly the best ever in a video game.

Has anyone played Fez? It is finally on the Sony consoles and I want to get in on that action.

Thinking about playing through Super Mario 3D world again. It is so much fun.

Just did both good and evil playthroughs of Infamous Second Son. Great game. Can't wait to see what games are going to look like in a couple years when developers are maximizing the new hardware.

Nope. But play with the nunchuck, it is similar. I can't wait for this.

[AndySlash]

not a fan of the nunchuck. you can use wii classic controllers, yeah?

[Monkey_Driven]

Or the Wii U classic controller. Too many damn controllers for Nintendo.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Actually it has to be a wii u pro controller, which has a similar feel to the GameCube controller

Yep, it's great.
