Gaming / Re: So, how long before MCC gets Reach?
« on: December 28, 2014, 12:18:53 AM »
I'm pretty sure that's not even possible, and that wouldn't even make any sense. They call it the Master Chief collection for a reason, it isn't meant to be every fucking Halo game together.

Which is what I believed, too. But they're adding ODST, and I'm pretty sure they'd make more money giving out Reach again, if not for the custom games alone.

You guys aren't the majority, you know.

Nice to see you didn't enjoy our time on Destiny  :'(
I think if you, Brendan/James, and I played any game we could make it fun. The game was fun but not inherently good plus I'm still salty about the whole dlc thing

Yeah, I get it. If there was something else out that was enjoyable (for me) as Destiny, I'd be playing that. There just happens to be like no multiplayer games that are enjoyable for a casual like Brendan, a more well-versed gamer like yourself, and someone like me in the middle.
I would say we're equally well versed/ casual. But yeah there's really nothing good for multiplayer right now. Everything either has like a small multiplayer that isn't the focal point, or is poop like AW

Lolno. I literally had to BEG Brendan to buy Destiny (which I thought would be a much more hardcore game) because he usually just buys CoD games. He's a real casual, albeit, a good one. He destroys in CoD.

James is a little less casual than Brendan, but still only plays games like AC, GTA, etc.

I'd say I'm less casual than those two, as I play a wider range of games, but I still enjoy playing my CoDs and my Halo 4s and such.

And even if you don't consider yourself a "hardcore" gamer, you play more difficult/hardcore games like Dark Souls and Dragon Age, which are games I never really see myself playing.


But yeah, no MP games right now. Is there anything you're looking forward to next year? Because the only thing on PS4 I can think of that I'm looking forward to (MP-wise) is Metal Gear Online. And maybe Black Ops 3, and if that doesn't exist, than if the new CoD is WW2, I'll prob buy that.

Plus, Comet DLC for Destiny (which I will buy, as I'm sure that wasn't completed prior to release of the game, and I'm using it as a "second chance" for Bungie to see if they still possess competency, as it's probably cheaper than buying Destiny 2.)


In case you haven't caught on, I'm trying to figure out what games we're both buying.
I will be buying treyarchs next cod, all I'm really looking forward to next year is blood borne but then again I generally don't get hyped for games long before release unless it's something I think will be really good. Uncharted if that does come out next year as well. Fingers crossed that some type of good multiplayer game is released before the summer gaming drought. I may end up getting an Xbox one sooner rather than later, it all depends how much my books for next semester cost.

You getting an X1 would be great, we could play MCC and H5. I really want to like Bloodborne but I think I'm too casual for it .

Kinda wish Arkham knight had a better version of Origin's multiplayer. Yeah, it was shit, but it was so fun to make fun of (like Destiny) with friends.

ACIV
TellTale's GoT
Tales From the Borderlands
Witcher 2

I was going to say something about Black Flag. Then I realised I had Destiny on my list, so I stopped typing.
Good, you fag
black flag was 2013 though

MGS 2 was 2001.

Gaming / Best games you played in 2014?
« on: December 27, 2014, 12:55:36 AM »
I felt like making this. It's 2 AM, and I need something to do. Tell me your list of the best games you've played this year. Ratings and reasons why you enjoyed them are a nice touch.

This is just a list of games I've played for the first time in 2014, they don't have to be released within the year.

MY top 5 games of 2014:



5: Destiny
I know, I know. I was disappointed, too. But I've simply put too much time into this game to not include it. It does have redeeming qualities, like the art style, gameplay, and raids. Besides, no other new IPs this year interested me, as they were all delayed or broken.
4/10, worth half price.



4: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Like I said, some of these games didn't come out in 2014, but this was the first time I played them. While I can understand some people's dislike for this game, it really feels like Kojima's best was put into the game. For a PS2 game, the detail put into this game is astounding. While MGS 3 is phenomenal as well, this is a nice send off (cheapened by MGSIV, mind you) for Snake and has something extremely intelligent to say about society and the internet.
8/10, worth more than it's priced.



3: Pokemon Alpha Ruby/Omega Sapphire

While it remains my least favourite region/generation in Pokemon, the game tries to fix some of the shortcomings of the original (my favourite being the faster surfing speeds and the less common wild pokemon encounters while surfing). The jump to 3D is also great, and I managed to procure a nice Ruby red 2DS that is reminiscent of the Gameboy colour/Gameboy Advance. Great game, far better than the original.
6/10, worth the buy.



2: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Many of you may have remembered me on Bungie.net a few months ago just starting to get into the MGS series. After playing them all (MGS1-4, 2 being my favourite and 4 being my least), I managed to pick this game up in September the week before Destiny came out. While the complaints about the game's content/price were extremely justified, you simply cannot deny the game's fantastic gameplay, graphics and animation. As Hipi said on Bungie.net,

"I told you. MGSV's gameplay is sex."

Since the price drop, I'd highly recommend buying this game if you haven't already.

6/10, worth no more than $20.



1: The Last of Us Remastered

Yes, it's a re-release. But I never played the original, and the upgrade to 1080p and 60 FPS is stunning. It honestly has become my favourite game of all time, as it's been months since I finished it and still can't get it out of my head. Gameplay and story is flawless, the only issue I have with the game is the average AI, when the one advertised was far superior to the straight-up RETARDED ones we got on release. (Apparently, the more difficult and intelligent AI was scrapped a few months prior to release because it was too difficult, which is not only upsetting, but almost insulting.)
If you own a PS3/4 and haven't played this, buy it now. For best results, play on hard or Grounded.*

* ask me more if you want to see my reasons

9/10, worth the price.

They might toss it in if they do a Halo 3 anniversary DLC.

This is what I'm interested in. If they're planning on adding H3A to the MCC or release it separately. They'd be stupid not to make some preparations for 3, and since they are adding ODST, it leads me to believe they'll add Reach sometime in the future.

R/S/E is the Halo 3 of the Pokemon franchise. People who like it are blinded by nostalgia.
you're blinded by your faggotry, gaydalf shitler. Emerald is objectively the greatest game to grace the earth, objectively.


No but for real the remakes are really good. And I genuinely like halo 3 and emerald Despite Their flaws so suck it

Yeah, the remakes are far better than the originals. I think they did their best to fix the flaws in the 3rd gen (mainly, the surfing speed and surfing wild pokemon encounter rate, the former was sped up and the latter was reduced.)

I like Emerald too but it's still the worst Pokemon.
True, but being the worst  game is like being the worst Ferrari.

Good analogy. The way I explain it to people is, "if it's your first Pokemon game, don't play it. If you enjoy the others, play this one."

Whenever I suggest Pokemon to someone, I always recommend them in this order: FireRed, SoulSilver, Platinum, Black and White (followed by their sequels), X and Y, and the OR/AS.
I make people play Yellow version first so they hate pokemon

You don't like Yellow? Wtf you can get all 3 starters and alter your rival's eeveelution.
try to go back and play any of the original three. It makes me want to stab my eyes out

Well, I mean, yeah. But that's the case in any game you play (it's why I don't enjoy MGS 1 as much as 3). But for it's time, it was great. I would love a Yellow remake (given that your Pikachu can be buffed, because a Raichu is shit and it's the evolution of Pikachu.)

Spoiled children throwing tantrums.

My house was like that on Christmas eve. And my nephew and 3 y/o cousin fucked up my game shelf, they were in alphabetical order.

It was. I recently decided to tell my family that I'm an atheist and a vegan, which was upsetting for them. Not a great time for me.

And yeah, my gaming shelf is like that as well. Either alphabetical, in the case of my N64/PS1 games, or organised by release date like my PS4/X1 games. I get hella angry when people mess that shit up.

I just asked my brother this, and he said double jump. As you can imagine, he took all of my wats away from me.
Haha remember I said that once when we were playing destiny and you acted like it was the dumbest thing you've ever heard

I think my brother was there when we had that conversation, that's why he said it.


It's such a stupid ability. When would you ever use double jump, honestly?
Literally all the time. Stairs? Fuck that double jump. Ball stuck on the roof? Fuck that double jump. Can't dunk a basketball? Now you can with double jump

1) You could just run up the stairs on all fours, like I do. Makes things much faster. 2) I think you're overestimating the amount of times a ball gets stuck on the roof. 3)And dunking is easy, just become black.

Actually did you know that double jump can save you from falls?

Jump off a skyscraper and double jump before you hit the ground.

But how many times would you need to save yourself from a fatal fall?

Once, if you're unlucky. Either that or you guys are trying to test Halo 3 style falls from orbit IRL.

You kidding me? Think of the bets you could win.
