    Currently playing Civilization V: Brave New World.

    Contemplating upgrading my video card before jumping into some of the new and upcoming games. The new GTX 970 is mighty tempting.

    Just picked up NBA 2k15. I'm really enjoying it so far and I never got to play 2k14 on PS4 so these graphics are blowing me away.

    Aside from that, I'm slowly working through The Last of Us Remastered and I'm going to keep playing Final Fantasy XIV (an MMORPG) until my subscription expires later this month. I also just finished up Watch Dogs. It took me a while to get into it, and it's been criticized because of how much it was hyped up before its release, but it's probably my Game of the Year at this point.

    Man I wish I didn't leave my PS4 in Indiana. I miss my games more so today, than any other day.

    FIFA 15. I'll be picking up the new 2K too.
    Other than that, kinda still deciding.. I think I'm gonna borrow AC IV from a friend and then buy AC Unity.
    What about Shadow of Mordor? Has anyone played it yet?
    I love Tolkien's universe (as you can tell from my user name), and I also got a AC vibe from the trailer.. Is it good enough to spend some $ on it (about 80 US dollars here in Argentina :banghead:)

    I'll be getting a PS4 around November for the new COD and just to have a new one in general.

    But I did pick up a Wii U back in like July and this thing is dope.

    I got Super Mario U, Super Luigi U, Mario Kart, Wind Waker HD, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Mario 3D World. Mario Kart is the best but all of them are great fun.

    Really hoping for a big title like a Super Mario 64 sequel though. I want a huge open world type setup.

    Fifa 15 on PS4 has been terribly disappointing.

    I love 2K15 thus far. My favorite new feature now is actually no longer having to chase the ball after shooting around in freestyle mode. Now you have at least 2 teammates rebounding for you and when you want a ball you just press A.

    So much more efficient. I know its a suttle feature but I really appreciate it.

    Plus all the little details and intricacies you can make on the defensive side of the ball during timeouts I just love. All the attention to detail to make it as serious and realistic as possible with the adjustments you can make is what I love.

    I'll be getting Shadow of Mordor, but I have to wait until it is released on the Xbox 360.

    Currently enjoying the new Batman game (Arkham Knight). Couple of things that could be better, but I love it

    Is it possible to play it without having played the previous ones?

    Yeah, I think so. I mean, there are a couple of story references to previous games, and it will possibly take some time to get the grip on using all the gadgets and the fighting moves, but you can definitely get used to it on the fly.
    Maybe don't select the hardest difficulty level though.

    I have been on a Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin binge this summer. Since picking it up on the last Steam Summer Sale I have logged 120 hours on it.

    I already beat it with two different character builds, I'm about to again with a third build then will go through the DLC.

    I love these "Souls" games!

    If you like Batman, then it's a MUST. It's got everything there is to love about the comics and movies, IMO. Obviously some of the stories are made up for the games, but still they really have respected the canon, if you will, and it's got the perfect 'Batman feel' to it.
    In terms of the game itself, it's great. Very entertaining, and it's quite multidimensional.. there's fighting, using gadgets, solving riddles, racing -with the Batmobile-, doing detective work, exploring, doing a little parkour and gliding through the air -the grapple gun makes you basically Spiderman haha.

    Still playing NBA 2K14 on my 360, still the only game I really play

    one of these days I'll think about upgrading to a console that's not obsolete
