Ponky Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Shadow of Mordor and Plants vs Zombies. The missus is addicted to PvZ so we are ticking out the split screen function. The most waves we've completed so far is 21.Don't you ever leave her. A gaming wife is a good wife. We used to play Sega together back in the day. I have no intention of letting her go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 OMG there's a girl in the Gaming section... Er... if you mean me, I'm definitely a bloke with a poorly chosen username based on the fact he's from the beautiful town of Nuneaton.

Ginko Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I was kidding, don't worry. I saw your post a couple of months back about where your username comes from I agree with what you say. I think I just prefer tighter games because they contribute to a better narrative and that's important for me. Skyrim is brilliant, just not the kind of game I like the best.

I think I just prefer tighter games because they contribute to a better narrative and that's important for me. Skyrim is brilliant, just not the kind of game I like the best. I think I agree with you. I get that whole ludo-narrative dissonance thing with big rpg games like Skyrim. On the one hand I want to experience the story, but on the other I want to explore and see as much of the game as I can. So I always reach a point where I've worked my way through most of the main questline and there's just the final mission left, but I've also got a whole bunch of side-quests to do. The narrative has reached a crescendo, demanding that I work quickly to defeat the world-threatening evil, but if I do then I can't finish the side quests. So there's always a period where I'm like "Yes, I know that Lord Xxargquan has gained access to the innermost sanctum of the Moon Temple and is threatening to unleash the Bloodstorm across the five nations of Zyncathia and I'm the only one who can prevent the deaths of millions, but I've got to collect these ten bear arses before I go." Like I said, ludo-narrative dissonance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Ha, I do feel a bit like that but then the fear of whether or not these side quests are going to be playable after I progress through a certain part of the main narrative surfaces and my OCD gives in so I end up doing sidequest after sidequest and by the time I'm done I've almost forgotten what the last part of the main story mission entailed. It's not a criticism from me, it's an absolutely beautiful and brilliant game. I'm glad there are games out there like this, but give me something like The Last of Us or Uncharted any day. The Rocksteady Arkham games are a bit of an anomaly. Asylum was definitely tighter, hence why I enjoyed it more, but I still though City was an absolute blast despite the open world dynamic and the multitude of sidequests. It just never felt like they were interrupting. Edited January 2, 2015 by Ginko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno_2004 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just started Black Flag - happy with it so far as all AC games are right up my street. Shadow of Mordor currently collecting dust - just couldn't get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Started Diablo 3, pretty good, played about 2 hours and it's pretty basic and repetitive at the moment (and easy) just got that feeling that 60+ hours of this is going to be hard work! hopefully some of the skills will be good enough to maintain the interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Finally got hold of grim fandango after wanting to play it since it first came out... It's almost pointlessly hard, really disappointed Also played lords of the fallen, found it too chunky and slow, and the wolf among us, I'm not a fan of telltale games, didn't think much of the walking dead either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 All in all you've had a bit of a shit time of it game-wise then, haven't you? Lords of the Fallen was always going to be a bit shit though when compared to the Souls games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) To be fair I joined that boomerang game rental thing and I'm going through the games that I wasn't sure about so it's a bit hit and miss, I enjoyed Diablo but stopped after about 3/4 hours I could see where that was going, did the last of us again which I loved, couple more games which have been ok Grim fandango is the one, paid for it! Wish I'd got the resident evil remake instead Hopefully it won't but I've got a feeling the order is going to be the same, I'll get that at launch, been waiting ages for it, and it'll be disappointing Lords of the fallen, I think bloodborne might be the same, much like the telltales games, I've played a bit of dark souls, I'm not convinced it's my type of game, I'm hoping bloodborne goes more towards DMC rather than DS Edited February 7, 2015 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 You got a PS4? If you do then you at least have Bloodborne to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
