    No I was just kidding though. Those are my two favorite games I've played in years. I also liked Elder Scrolls, but those types of games go on for so long I tend to get lost in them and it affects my life. I can't do those very often. It's why I've only played parts of Witcher 3. The Arkham games are all pretty good too.

    I would say to save your money for the new Xbox console or Playstation console coming later this year or very early next year. I'm riding out my original Xbox One console for this same reason.

    I'll probably go with the PS4 Slim. I like buying late in the development cycle for offline gaming. I'll be able to get several games I want to play for $20 like the Last of Us, Uncharted collection, Bloodborne, etc. Not to mention saving money on the console.

    Anyone playing the new Mass Effect? It has gotten so-so reviews, but damn. I do love the first 3.

    I'm a couple of hours into it. Underwhelming so far.

    Today I picked up: The Last of Us Remastered, Uncharted Collection, Rachet & Clank, and Bloodborne for $64. Now, what to play first.

    I'd mention that if you finish all those and want a cheap game that can be simple fun, I do recommend Knack. It got a lot of mediocre and negative reviews at launch, and while I do agree that if asked to pay $60 for it I'd be ticked too, you can get it for $10-$15 now, and IMO it's absolutely worth that. I've played through it multiple times to get all the secret parts to unlock the gadgets and the stones to make the other forms Knack can take on, and I have fun each time. It's sort of old school in that it's very simple, yet very difficult on the harder settings because the enemies can be cheap. But they have patters and when you learn them you can beat them, and that trial and error is sort of satisfying to me, reminds me of old games in that way. It's a simple game with a silly story in an age where every game is super complicated and overly dark and such, if that makes any sense.

    Like I have said earlier in the thread, the Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare series (not the little app version, but the shooter) is great for a fun, silly time.

    Great haul.
    Ratchet and Clank first, its a pretty quick play through but tons of fun. Or Last of us first, start things off with a bang.

    I'm still playing Clash Royale.

    Game is so addicting and they constantly add/update/balance it to keep it interesting.

    I was leaning Rachet. I think I'm going to want to take my time with the Last of Us.

    I've been pretty active on a free poker site. https://www.replaypoker.com/ I'm closing on a million chips. Tournaments, group play, buy in rounds. Good time waster. I'm Semiazas, if anyone wants to add me.

    I haven't had a gaming PC since I was in HS so I can't play this game but I've been watching a lot of gameplay on Twitch recently of - Player Unknowns: Battlegrounds.

    Awesome game, that is coming to consoles but not in some time. The open world survive gameplay and finding supplies and weapons is really appealing and never gets old because the placement of the weapons and supplies are all random.

    That's a rip off. If you're somewhat technically savvy, you can look into Raspberry Pi ROM emulators or pre-built ones that you can load downloaded games too, instead of being limited to a set number of games and just Nintendo games. You can load SNES, Sega...etc.

    Sure it doesn't look like the classic system, but it's definitely the route to go if you want to play old games and have to shell out an arm and a leg for.

    Nah, the Switch, not the NES Classic. $300 is what they're supposed to cost.

    [​IMG]

    I wouldn't buy one as I don't care about Zelda and I already played Mario Kart 8 like 3 years ago, but for Nintendo fans, sure, enjoy.
