Any gamers?

Just got myself a new video card, an AMD 7870, didn't think it'd be much of an upgrade over my GeForce 9800GT but I was wrong.

Also just bought the Gen6 Ford for iRacing.

Also probably gonna pick up Sim City once it works

Im stuck on a part in Skyrim, so I started playing Max Payne 3, which Im almost finished with.

I'm gonna say it: I don't care for Elder Scrolls. Any of them. I get bored because the fighting is so boring. I love RPGs though.

Best games of all time are
The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past
Final Fantasy 7

The newest Zelda is almost as good as some of the old ones. It's worth owning a shitty Wii for. I play video games pretty casually though. Maybe some Halo 4 when I'm bored, that's about it. I would love to find a new RPG though

Heard the new Mass Effect DLC is fantastic, anyone here play it?

e_wind, in regards to RPGs, have you given Dragon's Dogma a whirl? It's an action RPG but it is very well done. I used to prefer turn based RPGs but games like Dogma has changed my opinion. Super enjoyable game.

Been playing a ton of Battlefield 3 lately. I'll wander away from it for a month or so at a time but eventually I get sucked back in. Easily my favorite FPS on PS3.

Picked up Dead Space 3 a little while ago. Not nearly as engrossing as the 1st 2 but still decent.

Dragon's Dogma has been next on my list once I complete Amalur. Glad to hear you vouch for it peafunk. Then again the word "dragon" is in the title so. Found a used copy of Caliphates of Jorjizzidor at a truckstop halfway between OKC and Stillwater. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with it yet.

I've been to Zorjizzidor but I had to Google caliphate.

I'm a PC gamer, although I used to play more than I do now. I built my own PC my senior year of high school, so it is about 2 years old, but it plays anything I through at it on max. I played Diablo III heavily last summer, followed by Guild Wars 2. Other than that, I have Battlefield 3, Dead Space 2, Witcher 2, Starcraft II, and I have been dabbling with the free online dungeon crawler called Path of Exile. Sadly enough, PoE is actually more fun than Diablo III.

MMJ_fanatic · Mar 08, 2013, 10:41 PM

I'd like to try Halo but there's no PS3 compatible version

. I really enjoyed Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas--especially the insane weaponry. I think I liked Vegas a little more because of the extra capabilities the character had. Otherwise its been Blackops, Half Life (orange box), the various SOCOMs, Battlefield Bad Co., etc. I guess I'm just a 1st person kinda guy.

MMJ_fanatic · Mar 08, 2013, 10:44 PM

Oh yeah, I'm also bummed about the lack of PS3 versions for Gears of War!

Did you ever play any of the Killzone series? Its a playstation only game and rocks...IMO they're better than gears (GoW is an awesome game though) Could be I liked Killzone so much because I was pretty good at it

ChiefOKONO · Mar 12, 2013, 03:04 PM

It's funny how popular video games are now compared to when I was growing up.

But I do love all of the ones that are being funded through Kickstarter these days.. more power to the indies!

don't have that much time to play these days but i've been casually playing diablo 3 which is pretty fun esp. when playing with people you know.
I'm totally addicted to Defense Grid!! Also very much looking forward to Starcraft Heart of the Swarm!

I love turn based RPGs...hence my love for FF7, but I could give that a try. I've never heard of it though... Is it a PC game? I don't play PC games

peafunk31 · Mar 12, 2013, 05:08 PM

Nope, Dragon's Dogma is available on both PS3 & XBOX I believe. It kind of flew under the radar but received excellent reviews. I had a blast with it for several months. The combat system is well designed. The story aspect is slightly weak but the gameplay more than makes up for it.

Did anyone catch the announcement about the xbox one? I watched some of it, the NFL feature seems cool, but they didn't show many games for it...I think E3 is where we will see lots of that.

Also, what are y'alls thoughts on the next gen consoles? Ps4 or xbox one?

EA has Madden looking pretty close to the same and also it looks like they've messed up UFC. Xbox One appears to be garbage: can't rent games, games have to be installed on a hard drive with no expandable memory, games are only valid on the original xbox they were purchased for (no borrowing games from friends), can't buy used games (requires you to pay full price to reactivate it), not backwards compatible, requires a kinect, etc.

I currently have a 360, but I think I'll probably go with the Playstation 4.

davymac · Jun 18, 2013, 11:54 AM

After they released the prices, I'm leaning toward PS4 now. The ONLY reason I would go for the One is for Halo5...

I'm also not a fan of how Xbox will be spying on me now!

I have always preferred the Xbox, but probably because I have always been a Halo fan, but I am not too sure I like the whole entire setup of the new system enough to make it happen.

SplatSplatSplat · Jun 28, 2013, 01:54 PM

Xbox One for me. It can do everything the PS4 can do...and then more.

Let's not forget that Xbox has Titanfall as an exclusive, although that may change in the future. Titanfall is from the guys who essentially created and made COD what it is today, as far as game mechanics and such...not the over saturation.

Mahgeetah34 · Jun 28, 2013, 03:18 PM

Playstation 4 has Watchdogs
