RETIRED - The all inclusive video game thread

Bloodborne is amazing.

[E.H. Ruddock]

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.

That sucks, but should be fun. I've been very happy with the drifting controls in this version of MK.

Bloodborne is amazing.

It really is. I was stuck on the first part of the game for what seemed like forever. Turns out I ran into a glitch that wasn't letting me use my blood viles. I never played any of the Souls games so the learning curve is pretty steep.

Same here. Took me a bit to get going but most Souls games are very difficult in the beginning. It's like that one class in a program that is meant to weed out all the casual students. Anyway, just so much detail in the environments. I love not having a shield too. Took me awhile to adjust but this game really punishes you if you play conservative.

Basically, the bigger the foe the more aggressive you must be.

Yeah, I drift a ridiculous amount in the other CCs. I'm told I should use the stickiest tires available for 200cc.

Marvel Telltale game coming in 2017.

For those of you that like Telltale games, Beyond Two Souls might be up your alley. I recently beat it. It was pretty good.

That blue bell course and ribbon road are fantastic. 200 cc is nuts on those two courses as well

State of Decay... How the hell did I miss this on 360? A few hours in and it's already everything I wanted from a zombie game. I've never had a game since maybe RE 1 that actually startled me. The game does an amazing job of making you feel alone and making you prep for your missions. You better be ready in case a horde comes wandering towards you!

[Monkey_Driven]

Just beat the second boss in Bloodborne. This game is really teaching me patience.

hey yall, gonna be building a pc machine in the next couple days after my last build in 2007. What are yall's steam names? i am rainbowpandajihad

Also, if any of you are interested in custom PCs, don't ever order from a company called Digital Storm. The absolute worst customer service experience in my entire life.

Okay, I just bought an xbox 360. It came with forza 4 and an arkham city download. I bought the damn thing so my boys 8 and 5 could play minecraft and the upcoming jurassic park lego game on it, but old feelings are rushing back. Help me. What games do I absolutely need? I don't plan on going online, really. Here are my initial thoughts:

1) i just ordered hitman absolution for $9. Used to love those. Is it good?
2) gta V, right? Last i played was vice city.
3) resident evil 5? Last I played was 4.
4) which call of duty is best?
5) which assassins creed? Black flag looks cool.
6) red dead redemption?
7) dead island?
8) which halo? I have played none.
What about for my kids? Are there any good dinosaur hunting games? Can they play batman or call of duty? Halo? I don't mind violence, but i don't want f-bombs and shit.

GTA 5 is great
RE4 is better than RE5
RDR is a must.
I like all the Halos. If you're new, probably 3.

I think Halo is swear free.

+1 GTA V
Hitman absolution is great. Just finished it not long ago. Probably one of the better games in the series. Stealth is rewarded as always, but some levels can be completed via murderous rampages. Good times.

It's fun. Ill play it a total of 11 times in the next 6 days and then probably never play it again.

Three bosses into Bloodborne. I feel like I am hitting my stride. The combat is punishing, but fair.
