RETIRED - The all inclusive video game thread

[Simple Torture]

Actually, one of the new features is that you can carry a RTTS/Franchise over from the previous year. Most of it is just cosmetic stuff, I think they added one of those online dynasty games that NHL has but I don't get into those .

I think you can only carry over RTTS files from 14 or later, making my 13 guys useless

I played High Heat Baseball from 2002-2012 or so, and had a decade-long franchise with the Brewers. When I make characters from RTTS, I name them after players that I drafted in that game. But my main RTTS guy is named after me, and when I created him, I chose the Sox as the team that drafted me. But before I even got moved out of Portland, they traded me--to the fucking Brewers.

This year they have a community creations section that you can download rosters and equipment from. I was able to get live rosters with all the actual prospects, which was really cool.

Platinumed Velocity 2X earlier this week. Very difficult. Top notch game.

New DLC for Mario Kart 8: 200cc. Insanely faster than the 150cc:

Can't wait. I played online for about an hour on the Gamepad while watching the Masters. Such a fun game with buttery smooth gameplay/graphics.

I just noticed that I have an extra copy of Crusader Kings 2 in my steam library. Anyone want it?

have you tried any of the mods? Game of Thrones and the like?

To be honest I never really got into CK2. I am more of an EU4 fan.

I think I should give it another shot, though. I hear nothing but good things about it.

I've been reading that even the best of MK players are having to use the brakes quite a bit on the 200cc

That is great. Brings way more strategy into what karts you choose and when to boost, etc.

Awesome. I love the way they've rolled out the DLC. Having 16 new tracks in total is a great way to extend the replayability.

Finally playing Dishonored; should I go for a non-lethal playthrough my first time, or go in guns a blazing?

[BurtReynolds]

i think non lethal is more fun, but i stabbed a few dudes near the end.

[Simple Torture]

Two minutes after posting that, I killed like 4 dudes lol

Between Bloodborne, Shovel Knight on Vita, and the new Mario Kart DLC my gaming plate is very full. All excellent, first class experiences.

I haven't played the new courses yet. How are they?

I've only played through them once, but I was impressed. One level is clearly inspired by Toy Story and the F Zero track brought back a lot of memories. That series really needs to return.

I also did a few races in 200C. Good lord.

I didn't know the 200cc was available yet. I don't think I'll be cut out for it, though.

It fundamentally changes the game. I'm all about drifting for speed boosts but you just can't for many of the turns.
