Get The Division, peeps. It's pretty damned fantastic.

I got it and like, it looks good, it plays well, the concept is half decent and executed well, but after an hour and a half I'm bored out of my skull.

I wish I'd bought Disgaea 5 instead.

i must be even worse at Mass Effect 2 than I thought. third act and the prompt 'press l1 to aim' pops up...

I've gone on a retro kick and set up a RetroPi. It's scraping the metadata for every 16-bit Nintendo game now and a USB SNES controller is on its way.

I've also dusted off the N64 and damn, Jet Froce Gemini is as good as I remember. Awesome music too.

Man, that series is still ongoing?

Were you playing in a squad? Playing with people who are at higher ranks than you to make it more difficult? Did you venture into PvP? It's a fun ass game.

I've been playing my 3DS lately. Lego Lord of the Rings and Super Mario World are fantastic. The latter is a nostalgia fest for me. I also can say that the original Pokemon games still hold up well.

So even at 75% off (with one DLC exception for some reason) getting the full list of The Sims 3 and its expansions is still $100+ on Steam.



I think I'll just keep waiting and see if Origin offers it for free like they did The Sims 2

I tried playing the sims 2 on my computer like a year ago. The free origin version.

It was unplayable. Kept crashing.

That's weird. Is it new? Old? A Mac?

I've not had issues but then this is a 2007-era laptop so within the general timeframe of the game being released.

it was my 2013 windows 8 laptop.

haven't tried reinstalling it since.

Metal Gear? Can't be!

Seriously. I'm not seeing a robot. Or tactical espionage action.

Never got into that 'operations' shite.

edit: I got a ps3 for mgs4, not got a ps4 or xbone for mgs v or me:andromeda

Brand slave enouh to buy saints rows iv and metal gear rising years too late on the cheap....

hey, have fun with those. Both are great games.

SRIV, is like SR3 to me. It's a flawed and worse than its predecessor and yet somehow I'm still playing and more or less enjoying it.

It's still a stripped down version of sr3 melded with a mediocre clone of inFAMOUS though

SR4 is probably the best super-hero game I've ever played, which is weird for a series that started off as a tongue in cheek GTA rip-off.

I prefer the story and narrative of SR2 to everything else in the series, but I have to acknowledge that SR3 and 4 are just way, way more fun to actually play.

Saints Row as a series is kind of like Deadpool. It started out as little more than a clone of a rival product, but slowly developed an identity of its own as it embraced the ridiculousness of its concept and focused on being silly.

That said, I think the developers of the Saints Row games did pull off something very interesting with its characters. Many of them somehow manage to be both cartoonish caricatures and well-rounded characters with their own aspirations and fears. And the level of customization for the Boss/President in voice, appearance, dress, mannerisms, etc., make them feel like fully a product of the player's imagination despite the story they are in being essentially linear.

I know i'm late to the bandwagon, but god damn Titanfall is fucking awesome.

I really needed my fix of awesome mech action too, since Macross Delta turned out to be completely fucking lame.

metal gear rising can go to hell. fight one is a metal gear ray?!

mgr can still go to hell. fucking chainsaw dog thing making me learn how to parry.

I still can't figure out if it's impossible to parry gecko kicks or if I just suck at it.
