Gaming room (It's a geeks paradise)

I does look awesome, but I just know I wouldn't have the time.

Might be one I'll play in a couple of years when I dust off the by then old 360.

GTA5= Inside 72

COD Ghosts = The Bishop

[StraferJack]

It's a world a bazillion times smaller than oblivion/skyrim. But so intricately and beautifully designed

To quote another masterpiece in a different medium: "all the pieces matter"

[StraferJack]

Not bad woody but gtav opposite of inside 72 in terms of wider appeal surely?

Limbo = inside 72?

Anyone who loves cod ghosts is dead to me

Anyone playing Terraria?

Basically 2D minecraft meets diablo (though I'm only playing solo at the mo)

As usual one's own paltry efforts are rubbish compared to everyone else on t'interweb

[El Pibe]

[StraferJack]

11/10

7/10

9.5/10

[El Pibe]

gone for dark souls, uplink and outlast.

Played outlast for 15 minutes.

Despite the schlock horror clich?d nature of the shock tactics used (telly turns on suddenly with white noise) I jumped out of my skin several times then cowered in a dark corner of a rather blood soaked storage cupboard and whimpered.

Had to stop.

[El Pibe]

Lovely!!

 

[StraferJack]

Marvellous

[StraferJack]

Just saw this tweet and smiled

"Just looking at my friends' Dark Souls activity in Steam. I love how every person is either 1.7 hrs or 106.9 hrs. So so telling."

[Otta]

That's why I won't buy it for about 18 years, just wouldn't have the time. BIG pile of barely started games that I really want to play right here!

[StraferJack]

Other games?

Don't worry about THEM. They will no longer matter

[Otta]

Which is why I'll play them before eclipsing them!

[El Pibe]

I bought the pc port.

it's basically unplayable. at least it was only a couple of quid.

[StraferJack]

I've got the PC port too. Unplayable? How so?

Oh admittedly you do need a wired 360 pad

[StraferJack]

But no way am I letting you give up on one of the best games ever

[Otta]

Just (well on the train this morning) played the first 10 minutes of this

http://www.telltalegames.com/thewolfamongus/

It looks really cool, and the soundtrack seems cool so far. Think it's going to be enjoyable.

[El Pibe]

i saw this, it looked good, but looked like there's was lot of IAP for content, so was put off. any idea if thats the case?

[Otta]

Don't know yet, haven't been asked to buy anything yet. The game cost ?2.99 so I was hoping to avoid all that. I'll play a bit further and let you know.

[Otta]

Oh and speaking of things to avoid, Assassins Creed Pirates is kinda fun, but VERY samey. Unless of course the game changes as you progress, but from what I can tell so far it's just sinking ship after ship. At no stage (yet) do you control a character, just the ship.

Sure enough my ?2.99 just bought me episode 1. There are 5 episodes (yet to be released) which will each cost another 2.99 (or you can save 1.50 by ordering the lot).

P!ssed off but they've reeled me in so I've spent the bloody money. If you don't want to spend the money do not even give episode 1 a try, because I defy anyone to get to the end and not want to continue the story.

Annoyed that the whole game has cost me 13.50, bit it does look bloody great, has a good script, cool characters and good story.

Just hope I don't have to wait long for episode 2 having already paid for it!

[Otta]

On the bright side, GTA San Andreas (which I never played) is on ios, so just invested a fiver in that. I've really enjoyed playing GTA3 / Vice City on mobile devices, it works well. As did Max Payne. Mobile gaming is about all I get to do these days, still haven't played anymore GTA 5 on x box for about a month.

[El Pibe]

yep same here.

On ios I'm mostly playing Avernum, an old skool isometric rpg; a sort of poor mans baldur's gate minus the irritating voice acting.

On android a couple of tower defenses (yeah, US spelling) Kingdom Rush and its sequel Frontiers (both on ios, and about as good as TD gets).
