Computer games

Klaus

Nah, he'd just get someone else to write the story for him to motivate the action sequences. 🙂

How come you guys don't like Last of Us? Haven't played it but it has been on my list for years and it's generally been well reviewed.

QuincyAbeyie

The gameplay is pretty much like Uncharted, except more stealth rather than all-out action. For those who don't like that and don't think the story is satisfactory there isn't much to enjoy other than the beautiful graphics. I however thought the gameplay was good and that the story is excellent.

I thought The Last of Us was pretty bad too. If Michael Bay produced a video game...

I find this insulting. That's like saying The Dark Knight is the Michael Bay movie of the super hero genre.

Klaus

It wouldn't be that far from the truth!

QuincyAbeyie

I don't even believe that you believe that. You obviously think it's overrated, which it probably is, but you can't seriously say it's one of the worst superhero movies out there.

Klaus

Gotta be honest, I thought it was terrible all around. I don't have a wide enough field of reference to know if it's one of the worst, but it's indistinguishable from most of the other Marvel and DC crap I've seen.

Mirth

Wow.

The gameplay is really boring in it. It gets good ratings because a lot of people like the "cinematic" parts of it. I didn't really think much of that stuff either though.

Online gaming requires a lot of time to get any joy out of it. I used to be into it but nowadays I just can't commit that much time to a game. I haven't actually played my PS4 in months. Hopefully Red Dead 2 will give me a reason to get back into it.

You seemed to be able to watch all footy, movies, Netflix and play PS4 at all times whilst working and then looking after kids. I couldn't understand how you did it.

So you're human after all.

Anyone playing Quake Champions?

Maybe 5-10 years ago I managed all that. Very little of any of it now.

Shame on you, poor Qwiss Jr.

I liked it. It's mostly about the story though, so if you don't like that then I guess there's not much left. The gameplay was OK for me but not great. Quite similar to the Uncharted series.

No interest in LOU2, found the first one pretty boring and that looks like more of the same.

I much prefer no-brainer "cinematic" games like TLOU these days, not that I've picked up a controller in over two years.

I haven’t played a computer game either in a long, long time. Not since Witcher. Seriously need to get into a game again. I worry that I have lost interest completely in gaming, and gaming has been a part of my life since I was a kid. Thinking of picking up God of War, trying to get into that.

Burnwinter

I have just played my first "video game" in a while and it was a ranking game of go on Pandanet.

Pepe LeFrits

I've been trying to get back into games more recently but it's hard to find games I actually like. Back in youth I was all about first person shooters but now I find them awful stressful. Have been dabbling in Quake Champions but afterwards I'm all sweaty and tense. Ew.

Slower paced games with a story and good characters I like. Action games with male and female characters who look like they've been designed by a horny 15 year old, less so.

Asterix

Just started Doom. Got it cheap. It's decent fun but nothing exceptional. The chainsaw is amusing.

Also bought Gravel but haven't played it yet - hoping it reminds me of Motor Storm. i loved that game.

QuincyAbeyie

The new God of War is absolutely amazing. They've managed to incorporate a Naughty Dog-like story without losing any of what made the other games great.
