RETIRED - The all inclusive video game thread

[clavian]

I started playing Far Cry 3 this weekend. Initially i didn't find it all that interesting, kind of like an open world Uncharted with a thin storyline but the more i play the more i'm getting into it. i love stealthing my way into an enemy camp and taking them out one by one. disturbingly satisfying.

I had a lot of fun with FC3! Taking out the outposts was one of the best parts of the game. For extra fun, when you happen upon one with a caged lion, shoot the cage door open and watch him ravage the guards!

You're sick.

i think that's already been established.

I enjoy watching pirates being killed by bears.

Who doesn't? I always enjoyed the different death animations in Dead Space.

For those of you who play Minecraft on Xbox: is it fun on the console? I used to play it quite a bit on my Mac, but sorta lost interest b/c every time they added new features, the game slowed down a bit for me. I've got $20 of credit on the PSN store and am considering grabbing it for $19.99

I've got to say, I haven't had this much fun playing a video game in a long time. It is a blast. It helps that my stepson is way better at it than me so I'm usually just a sacrifice to see how to attempt difficult spots on levels.

You're a good step dad.

My oldest son is just getting to the right age to be able to play console games properly. I found my old Playstation 1 in the garage when we moved, so I set it up for him and gave him a stack of the age appropriate games. It's a crappy old console by today's standards, but the games are still fun, and the good thing is that he hasn't complained yet about the graphics.

I'll give him 6 months on that, before I decide whether to get him a new console (or just give him my 360, and get myself a console ).

I hope the narrative is somewhat compelling.

So we beat this 100% last weekend. That included going through each level multiple times as different characters. I highly recommend this game to anyone with a Wii U.

I'm hoping there are a few more must play games by the time Smash Brothers comes out. Then I will most likely buy one. Has the user interface gotten any better since launch?

We have a Wii U and all my oldest wants to do is play Disney Infinity. Two Mario, a Luigi, Sonic and Ducktales games dying to be played!!!!

I am instantly put in a good mood every time I boot this game up... love it. It's one of those games that reminds me why I enjoy video games in the first place.

Noticeable difference (improvement) with the last 4 games we've played on it. Super Luigi Bros., Pikmin 3, Windwaker HD, and Super Mario 3D World.

Good deal. It was dreadfully slow at launch.

My stepson has recently introduced me to the speed running community. Wow, I had no idea.
