DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Fantasy & Gaming The Gaming Thread, Part II

I created myself.

I'm a 5'8 luchador that wears a blue Tiger mask..

Because that's what I was when I was a pro wrestler 4 years ago...

I'm not usually one too partake in glitches or cheats, but I did yesterday in The Division.

I wanted to see if I could get a better gold gear item, so I did one of daily missions on challenging. When I joined the group, there was over 14+ people in the room. We'd just went through the map, hardly even taking cover, destroying enemies. When we'd beat it, we got our mission rewards and then I followed the group of people to the beginning of the mission and someone would reset it, and it would start all over with 14+ strong.

Since it was so quick, I replayed it like four or five times haha. My whole gear setup now is all gold items.

I've seen bits of Quantum Break and it looks phenomenal.

I agree. Reviews aren't that great, but I thought the game looked very cool.

I'm not sure I want an XboxOne yet, but I assume I will buy one at some point. Quantam Break, Halo, Sunset Overdrive (Tomb Raider should theoretically be releasing for PS4 this November, I expect better sales on the PS4 than on the XboxOne)

It actually angers me how the new Tomb Raider came out on everything BUT the ps4, and it'll be many months before that happen. That seems really stupid to me.

With all that said, the one Tomb Raider game I played on the ps4 was one of the few games I've kept and not sold.

I'll probably play through it again, it has replay value!

It should be coming out for holiday season. November. Microsoft paid for it to be a timed exclusive. So they could put it on XboxOne and PC. It didn't sell very well though, and I bet Eidos Montreal regrets making the deal with Microsoft.

It was supposed to be Microsoft's answer to Uncharted 4, but Uncharted got moved back to like May or something, and Tomb Raider on X1 just hasn't sold well. Too much competition by coming out right around the same time as FallOut4 and COD: Black Ops 3 (two of the major games of the holiday season).

I think it'll do far better on PS4 though. I know I plan on buying it eventually, I loved the Tomb Raider that's out on PS4 now. Love the Uncharted Series too. They're both great games.


Currently I'm working my way through the Uncharted: Remastered Series, preparing for Uncharted 4. Any PS4 owner that hasn't played Uncharted should buy the Remastered Series. I'm 1/3 of the way through the 1st (which is the worse of the three by far) and I'm enjoying it a lot. My best buddy and I are getting Uncharted 4, once he beats it, i'll just grab his copy off him. If it turns out to be a very long game, I'll probably just purchase it on my own.

Dang, i didnt know you could play with so many people. I have been able to get matched up with a couple strong groups, and the 4 of us would lay waste to the missions. Only at the most challenging parts would we get bogged down.

Stacking smart cover is pretty nasty too.

Yeah it was some sort of glitch. It has happened to me twice and all I did was just matchmake into a room, as you normally would. Not sure how it's done.

Smart cover stacking is nice if you get a group willing. I've found my preferred ability setup to be:

The First Aid heal
Seeker Mine

And my signature skill is the double damage.

Any of you guys played Bloodborne? Seems pretty highly rated. Videos look pretty cool

I own it. It definitely was a good one. I guess it's supposed to be like the Dark Souls series (which I've never played).

The biggest thing I can tell you is that it's difficult, very difficult. One of the hardest games I've ever played probably. I didn't even beat the thing. I got to the last boss and said, F it.

Very well made though. Great graphics. It would be considered like a hack and slash/action adventure game, but it's not your nomral hack and slash. You don't just keep hitting the same buttons over and over. It's all about evade, counter, stun, get a visceral hit (a hit from behind that you can get when your enemy is stunned).

When you die, you lose all your "Coins" or whatever their form of currency is. No way around that, so dying definitely is a penalty.


I would describe the game as difficult and extremely cruel to the player. It's also very addicting. Not many games like this will take as long as Bloodborne does to beat

Thanks for the insight. I may look at that when it's on sale. I really don't want to deal with super difficult right now.

With that said Mad Max has been pretty easy, especially when you level your guy up. Still a lot of fun. Probably going to crack those other 2 games open this weekend if I have any time.

The Division gamers:

Big update coming this Tuesday. We'll be able to trade now. Some of the gold gear in the DZ won't require as high a DZ rank to get. Recalibration of gold gear will no longer cost Phoenix Credits (awesome!)

Less materials given from deconstructing, and more materials required for crafting (so start dismantling all your gear), a free incursion mission, DZ supply drops and some other stuff.

I'm digging Ubisoft's efforts with this game.

JC: Anyone ever played the Ratchet and Clank games?

I'm thinking of buying this new one off Amazon tomorrow, with Prime and Sales tax, it would be 34$. Sounds like a decent deal to me on what is a highly regarded series

You fight differently than in Dark Souls, you MUST be aggressive in Bloodborne or you're screwed. It's also very unforgiving to players. I don't recommend trying to play it unless you've played Dark Souls because it's frustrating as hell.

Be prepared to spends hours farming.

Games I play Update:

Madden:
Started a franchise with Buffalo, Manuel is terrible but I was about to be 3-1, but the game froze during the post game stuff.. And I hate replaying games..

Mad Max:
Haven't played it since I first dove into it, got a little too "go here, do this, go here, do this" for me..

FIFA:
I'm like 3 games into a MyPlayer, my team is terrible, and there's like, no end game in FIFA, it's just the same thing over and over..

WWE2K16:
I'm the #2 Contender for the NXT title, need to start a new rivalry..

NBA2K16:
Third year with the Suns, it's waaay too easy to build through FA, as people sign for nothing, but very difficult to build soley through the draft, so I traded for Andrew Wiggins..

I haven't played the old school ones but I am getting this delivered today. The reviews have been fantastic and it looks beautiful.

The Division update that just released has some bugs I guess, be mindful. I guess you waste money by buying gear because you never actually get the item.

Thanks Ubisoft =/

Played a bit of Black Ops 3...

meh, not all that great. I don't really dig futuristic type stuff all that much. but the zombies are fun. Either way, It was part of the bundle.

Also picked up 2k16. Target price matched me. 37 bucks.. Such an awesome game.

Does anyone play this? Can you not make your own guy in career mode? I set it up and I have to play as some pre-made guy. Kinda dumb. Is there a way around this?

I didn't car for Black Ops 3 at all. I'm playing Uncharted 2 right now and I'm loving it. In a week I'll be leaving my PS4 for a month or so (that's my WiiU time, where I'll be playing Xenoblade Chronicles X and Pikmin 3).

But after I finish the Uncharted 1-3 Remastereds, I think I'll do Ratchet & Clank. That game looks like a blast. Can't wait to try that one.

By the time I beat that, I should be able to borrow my buddy's Uncharted 4, and I'll be doing just fine Videogamewise

Black Ops 3 wasn't bad early on. Unfortunately, the average and lower players got weeded out, and primarily the hackers and extremely invested are what's left. Not much fun to play with them.

The Division got repetitive for me pretty fast. There is "loot", but all the guns seem basically the same within type. I don't know if Borderlands spoiled me or what.

I think I might go back to PC games and play Civilization mods again for a bit.

This is what happens when you let Spike Lee get involved.

"Frequency Vibrations"

Wow.

Yea it's so dumb.

Although I'm seeing guys on YouTube play career mode with their created guys. I should just email 2k lol

I think if you play through it for a season you get to do a "regular" mycareer. Not entirely sure.

The Spike Lee one is more story than basketball. Very "He got game" with the actor that played the agent in the movie coming back to do the voice of your agent.

Yeah it's definitely not a full 82 game season. It was 3 hs games, 4 college, and I have one nba game played but I think you do 8 for your first season.

I hope you're right though because this mode with the current setup is stupid. It is actually a cool way to intro you into a real career mode though.

I understand for coding and creation, why having one "set" character makes it easier..

It's still stupid.

Yeah, just finished my first season. After that you play a full 82 with off day stuff and practices. It's pretty cool after you get through the Spike Lee stuff.

I do like playing a handful of high school and college games.

Just FYI if you want to use your own guy, you go to features/options, and edit through the "my player" option. You can edit the name from there. I believe after the first season you can tinker with nicknames and some of the shooting form stuff.

I just started a career on Madden, I'm the backup to Tony Romo.

I really wish 2k could make a football game.

Maddens career mode is basically nothing.

I always thought a football career mode had so much potential. Since it's only a game a week you could have a real week schedule where you can break down your opponents defense, and work on the plays you want to really execute during the game.

I really think they need to tear down the game and give it a fresh look. Franchise mode could be better too.

Franchise hasn't been good since 2008.

Back when you could set prices for everything (which they've brought back) or you know.. They had RFAs.. I will never understand getting rid of them..

All EA cares about is Ultimate Team. Because it makes them more money..

I miss NCAA.

I just finished the game yesterday, it was a lot of fun, wish I had more to play now.

agree ... been saying this for a while

Anyone still play PS3 and want to buy any games? I have a bunch I would sell pretty cheap

Craigslist.

It looks like I'm rewarding myself w/ an XBone for surviving another semester. Halo 5 was part of the bundle. Any other older games (Xbox exclusive) I need to check out?

Lol @ Xbone

Funny stuff.

Edit, I guess that wasn't a typo, but I've never heard it (probably because I think Xbox sucks), so, still is funny lol.

Not sure where I picked up XBone.

Xbox was my system in the military. We'd have LAN cables going everywhere in the barracks, so we could play Halo on duty days when we were stuck on base.

Switched to Playstation with the 3 because playstation network was free way back and the mid range Halo games weren't that great to me. Supposedly the multiplayer on 5 is pretty good, and I'm feeling some Halo nostalgia.

DOOM drops in one week.

Maybe, depends what you have.

Finally opened up Dying Light. I love this game!

It's Dead Island meets Mirror's Edge.

Storyline is ok, but the open world is incredible, and the day-night cycle is fearsome as everything gets crazy when the sun goes down.

Also picked up Far Cry 4 for 15 bucks on Amazon. Couldn't pass that up. I love the series. Haven't played it yet. FC3 was one of my favorite games on the PS3.

For those playing The Division, I beat the Falcon Lost mission on challenging, twice on Sunday. Yes, twice.

And we didn't glitch the Hell outta it or cheat it in any forms or fashions. Unfortunately, I got crappy gear both times haha.
