RETIRED - The all inclusive video game thread

[mf]

I know it's an older game, but I am really liking half life 2. Crossing under the bridge was great.

yeah i break out the Orange Box from time to time and replay those games.

Half Life 3

[jwfocker]

is there anyone who played inquisition and is now playing witcher 3 that can compare them for me? does witcher 3 have the same filler problem? are the characters and narrative more/less interesting? help me out here

Well, Witcher 3 is much more adult and absolutely huge - it's something around 3 times as large as skyrim just going by map size. So far the side quest have been very solid and my god there are so many side quests. But the quests are very flushed out and not nearly as perfunctory as inquisition's.

I'm enjoying the writing and the characters so far. Only on Act one but it's been impressive.

Also, not a game to speed through. You need to take your time - even more so than with inquisition. The monster hunts/contracts have been great so far as well.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "more adult," exactly?

Nudity, sex, and you can visit brothels. The language is much more adult with a liberal use of profanity and the gore and violence is much more detailed and pronounced.

Fuck yeah. One of the best games series ever. I have fond memories of playing HL2 when my first born was a baby. He's 8 now.

Half Life 3

Anyone have any trouble getting Nintendo Land to work on WiiU? It's stuck on the main curtain screen and just sits there. I found mentions and workarounds online like reloading the update and setting miiverse to english only but none of them work. Disc is clean....bought it used the other day.

Haven't had that problem.

Man, the Metroid and Pikmin mini games on that are so much fun. Especially with two players.
