I'm nearly done with Tomb Raider Definitive Edition -- probably have another 20 mins left. The gameplay has been fantastic, but the story and dialogue have been atrocious. And now I'm getting deja vu -- maybe I posted this already? Anyway, I suspect Rise of the Tomb Raider will be similar.jwfocker wrote:Monkey_Driven wrote:I can't stop playing NBA 2k17.
I might replay the masterpiece that is the Last of Us before Tomb Raider comes to the PS4.
That Tomb Raider game looks great.

It's tough, but it seems smoother than previous versions. I don't seem to get locked into animations as much. I love the emphasis on skill/timing for steals and close shots this year.i got bugs wrote:Me too.. it's tough thoMonkey_Driven wrote:I can't stop playing NBA 2k17.

The defenders are like brick walls n doing the juke moves with the hit stick is tough.. if your player doesn't have good ball handling they turn it over a ton

Re: The all inclusive video game thread
Have to move the ball. Beat the defenders with ball movement, screens, and play calling. I kind of like you can't blow by your opponent with lots of dudes, you have to earn it. It is frustrating though if you don't know all the dribble moves.i got bugs wrote:The defenders are like brick walls n doing the juke moves with the hit stick is tough.. if your player doesn't have good ball handling they turn it over a ton

Yeah, especially if you can get dribble penetration or run a successful pick that causes someone else to help. It is a really satisfying feeling to run a successful, scoring possession. I'm playing on Superstar difficulty.i got bugs wrote:Yea I pass around like a maniac, dribble moves are tough.. I usually see open 3s a lot thoMonkey_Driven wrote:Have to move the ball.

I was bummed that the ncaa pack had no unc, duke, cuse, or kentucky.. I'm assuming that pack will be the first of a few

Re: The all inclusive video game thread
I'm not so confident. I believe they only had a licensing deal with those schools in the original pack. Lots of legal red tape with players/schools likenesses.i got bugs wrote:I'm not on that high of a level yet.. gotta work on getting my guys to set picks..Monkey_Driven wrote:Yeah, especially if you can get dribble penetration or run a successful pick that causes someone else to help.

Just finished Inside and it is seriously one of the best games I've ever played. If you have $20 to spare do yourself a favor and check it out.

Any other must play download only games? What was the game where the entire island was1 big puzzle? I've only played Transistor and Child of Light. Both were great.

Witness, I think? Haven't played it myself. Journey is another one that looks great. I got it when it was free on PS4, just haven't played it yet.
And Rocket Leage is awesome and affordable.

I seriously did nothing this weekend but replay/read about this game. It's haunting me.

Thanks for this, has never heard of it. I loved the genre as a kid. Sierra and Lucasarts games ruled my childhood. Will def check this out.BurtReynolds wrote:Kentucky Route Zero is pretty neat.
