Gaming! Discussion

[Sasso]

Because I don't have many people in real life to discuss gaming with, let's start a discussion here!

I play games on my PC. I never had a console to play on and now I'm basically useless with controllers eexcept for fighting games, racing and walking sims which I have an Xbox 360 controller for. I'm not a massive tech wizard. I don't look at my laptop and think it has a XK-564 processor or a Zip Zop core or an Optimus Prime graphics card. I usually just look at it and think it's red and black and has a sticker on the back. Sorry.

But here's my favourite games, in no order. (probably not a complete list, I'll forget something)

-Runescape. Played on and off since 2006 or so. I'm still terrible at it. I'm playing right now while I write this.
-Age of Empires. Game of my childhood.
-Sims 1 and 2. The other game of my childhood. I have 10gb of mods and downloads for Sims 2 which I don't want to lose, which is why I don't play 3 or 4.
-BlazBlue. The only fighting game I'm into.
-Killing Floor 1 and 2. There's something very therapeutic about fighting a horde of monsters to heavy metal music.
-FarCry 3. I keep replaying the story.  The mission where you destroy Vaas's crop of weed with a flame thrower to reggae/dubstep is still amazing fun.
-Everlasting Summer. Not really a game but oh my god the story...
-Telltales The Walking Dead. I'm not a fan of the show or comic books but I love the games so much (even thou they make me feel like a terrible person).
-D4. You either love it or hate it.
-Medieval Total War. Big armies are fun.
-FTL: Faster Than Light. Over 130 hours and I can still only play on easy.
-Impossible Creatures. Sperm Whale plus Tiger equals massive tank.
-The Long Dark. Canada simulator 2016
-Melody's Escape. A fun little beat game that I play too much.
-Metro 2033. My brother bought me the book that I'm currently reading but I'm such a slow reader.
-Payday the Heist. I haven't gotten into Payday 2 yet.
-Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I found a port on Steam after so long....
-Tony Hawk Series. My highlight was Tony Hawk Underground 2.
-Urban Assault. A game from 1996 that nobody ever played.

Believe it or not I actually cut down this list but these are most of my favourites, but I could go forever listing games and telling you why they're good. But tell me yours before I get carried away...

Update. I died in Runescape because I was focused on writing this...

What is D4?

[Sasso]

D4; Dark Dreams Don't Die. A really weird auteur game by SWERY that barely makes any sense. It's hard to explain, but it's like the gaming equivalent of a cute dumb puppy. It's worth looking up.

[Sharp]

Skyrim. Fuck anything else.

(Half asleep, on my phone, will add a proper response later)

[Cath]

[Sasso]

Wow how could I have forgotten about Bioshock...Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite were really good (They'd be on my list If I'd remembered). I'm not a fan of 2 thou.

[DarkXtecy]

have you tried Dead Space?....it ha some similarities....well except for, lots of jump scares...and a whole lot of panic level lol....btw talking about jump scares...i forgot to mention.
"Doom"
....oh and also just remembered...."worms armageddon"

[Sasso]

I'm not a Dead Space fan, I never found it scary. It pushes the jump scares and gore too far and it becomes hard to take seriously. Alien Isolation I though was better, but that's my opinion.

2 more I should have put on the list. Alien Isolation and The Talos Principle.

[DarkXtecy]

ooohhhh talking about alien isolation...just remembers the alien vs predator lol...and also Abe oddysee.

well i for me it was scary, normally when i play horror games i play it with all the light off and curtains closed, just to create the spooky ambiance, i kinda like that, so yeah, the first time i played dead space, and right form the first encounter of those mutants...i was screaming "escape escape...run bish runnnnn...come on shoot those things" and i realised few minutes later that my arms and controller were above my head trying desperately to make the character run....good thing no one was around to see that odd moment....
