I would love to play BF1 with you guys. We've got guests coming in tonight, so let's revisit next week?

Yes! I'm really only online between 10:30-midnight Central Time these days. I want you to explain strategies and such. I just run around and die a lot.

Occasionally, I am on from about 3:30-5 pm Central Time if I am productive at work and with grading. I can't wait to get back into Uncharted's multiplayer with Lost Legacy coming out. Should be a lot of people online.

And that is one of the more accessible FPSs.

I know! And I'm still terrible. I'd like go enjoy the multiplayer thing since I love playing the game co-op, but I just don't see it ever happening.

If you haven't already, try switching to 3rd person view. Other than that you just need to grind out some of the cards to really compete. Jet pack is a necessity.

I'd possibly be keen playing BF1 with you guys as well. But I'm afraid the time difference would mean that you're asleep or getting up for work when I'm online.

Have you tried Titanfall 2? You should try Titanfall 2.

I'm pretty excited about this but I'll try to play it cool when we make it happen.

I know I've seen it for cheap so I definitely will. I heard that actually has a pretty rad campaign too?

Shadow of Mordor never clicked for me so I'm playing the new Deus Ex and loving it.

Yeah. And it's the only multiplayer I've ever been good at. It's not nearly as punishing and off-putting as stuff like Battlefront online. You actually stand a chance.

I probably just need to cop to the fact that I'm never gonna enjoy multiplayer games outside of the occasional co-op with friends. Stuff like Dishonored, Bioshock and Deus Ex is always gonna be my main jam.
