Hangout The Games Hangout Thread

[Jammin]

Yeah,I thought I was the only one that thought 2 had no strategy at all. Also hope it isn't like god of war but more like Origins.

Believe me there are loads of people that felt the same about Dragon Age 2 as you and I.

I'm actually not completely un-fond of DA:2 but it's pretty obvious they tried to do a lot of the same things they were doing with Mass Effect. And many of those changes were things that were neither wanted nor needed. Gamers expected a Dark Epic Fantasy, and they just isn't what we got. And to Bioware's credit they seem to have taken the response to DA:2 seriously.

Most notably completely altering the main character. Who was originally human only (Yet another unwanted Mass Effect carryover) but was changed to let the player choose his race in direct response to fans very negative feedback on that. Vastly increased sense of scale and influence addressing another big criticism of DA:2. And a completely overhauled character relationship system.

So even if the gameplay were to turn out to be complete garbage, which I hope it won't, there will probably be enough roleplaying aspects to make it worthwhile.

Soooooooo the urban legend of the piles of ET games buried in a landfill was true. LOL

And they should stay buried based on what I've seen of the game <_<

And they should stay buried based on what I've seen of the game <_<

I remember playing that as a kid at my cousin's house. It was funny I kept trying to play it and was convinced I was doing something wrong but...nope that's what the experience was supposed to be. It did give us this though...

​

Totally worth it.

Is anyone interested in getting Child of Light? It looks interesting

 

[xi0]

Ah, I saw that on Steam. It looks pretty amazing, visually at least.

 

[riki]

Yeah, it's supposed to be Ubisoft's take on classic JRPG iirc. The latest trailer looks interesting:

 

[SharkBait]

Next game Im interested in is Yu-Gi-Oh! Millenium Duels releasing finally on ps3 this week.

 

[Schabrak]

Child of Light Deluxe Edition just arrived. I have to say that I mainly got it instead of the normal PSN version for the poster of Amano and well... the Dark Aurora skin pack. Will gift this little fellow to my niece, since I still haven't sent her some stuff for her birthday.

 

[Jammin]

That is an awesome poster. Little on the the creepy side compared to what I was expecting though.

 

[Schabrak]

Probably because of his typical androgynous depiction and certainly different from the ingame Aurora. She shouldn't smile when she's facing all these monsters and is killing them with her sword.

 

[SharkBait]

Im back to playing infamous second son, kind of realized its slightly repetitive.

 

[kakashi919]

I'm already playing Child of Light.. it's pretty awesome, since I've been waiting for more turn based RPGs
The art style is pretty great too. Haven't gotten far, but the story is interesting, a little familiar though.

 

[SharkBait]

Finished Infamous Second Son (Good) last night. If DLC comes out this summer then Ill probably do an Evil playthrough.

Think I will get to Dragon Age Origins next.

 

[Doraku]

Been thinking to pre-order Watch Dogs on Steam.. not sure if it's worth it or not. Well, it's obviously nothing much different like GTA franchise, but still interesting nonetheless.

and yeah, gonna start Child of Light once I finish with DS 2.

 

[zelllogan]

I found this year incredibly poor so far. No top game was released on the new generation of console. There was not a single masterpiece so far.
The best game I played this year was by far south park and aside from that, I enjoyed Infamous, NBA 2k14 (game from last year) and wolf among us (started last year). That's it. So, infamous and south park as "2014" games. It's poor.

 

[SharkBait]

Yeah seems like a slow year for games, and in terms of me and ps4 on the horizon, or just in general next game Im getting isnt until August for Disgaea 4 Vita (already played on ps3), and then Tropico (PS4), Dragon Age Inquisition (PS4), Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution (PS3), and The Order (PS4). And I think thats it. I usually get 20 or so a year

 

[ArtIristic]

With E3 2014 rapidly approaching, I'm just curious what everybody is most excited about.
I'm rather curious about the mysterious 3DS game Nintendo is gonna spend 90 minutes on.
Then there is FE x SMT, which hasn't been seen or heard from in over a year since its announcement back in 2013.
Also there is X... I'm mildly excited about it.

Then there is the infamous vaporware we call Final Fantasy Versus XIII XV. It has Leviathan wrecking an entire city, and sword teleportations which looks fun as hell. If it turns out really great, I might buy a PS4 for it.
Also Kingdom Hearts III might take a little while before we see again. It won't enter full production until after FFXV has finished. Patience is always a virtue, i guess.

 

[Jammin]

I'm looking forward to getting more info on the Dragon Age game and Destiny. Specifically, I want to know more about Dragon Age's combat interface and to see what Destiny is going to have in the way of story/immersion elements.

Other than that I'm mostly just excited about what indie games will be there along with hoping for some promising rpg's to be announced (a new Suikoden, a new Fire Emblem, and Valkryia Chronicles 4 in my dreamworld)

 

[SharkBait]

So watch_dogs released, the newest hotness for this new generation. Im looking to potentially get it/play it if AMZN delivers.
