OT: The All-Purpose Video Game Thread: Part II

OH MY GOD I never thought I'd see EU4 here. Love that f***ing game.

Any good stories? I was doing a Brandenburg->Prussia->Germany run and randomly PU'd Russia in like 1750 and stopped playing because it was easy mode, but not before converting the Pope to Protestantism of course.

Holy **** they finally remade Resident Evil 2.

Been playing it a lot the past few days, it’s great. Still holding my breath and crossing my fingers for a RE3 remake

It's fantastic. I highly suggest you pick it up. It's so well done. graphics, textures, mechanics. Same bones but man does it play like bio-hazard.

I haven’t had a console since Gamecube, just always wanted them to remake it. One of my all-time favorites.

Haven't had one since PS2 for me.

Had to take so many breaks playing RE:2 cuz my heart was going to explode. Playing alone at night, with the crows busting through the wood covered windows...I shut the TV and walked out I'd had enough, I'm a p***y lol

A couple videos on youtube show the side by side comparison, it's insane. Look into it, you wont regret it.

I've replayed that game countless times. France. Spain. Japan. With and Without cheat codes. On Easy. Hard. Alone. With friends. What makes this game so unique is the replay factor.

****. It's been a few years but just talking about it is bringing that itch back!

Is there any chance RBI 19 will be a decent baseball game?

Yeah same, I've been kicking around a few run ideas but nothing really jumps at me.

All my runs in CK2 always end in tire fires and I love it.

CK2 is a ton of fun too, I just can't go back after EU4. Pretty much the perfect strategy game for me.

You ever try hoi4?

 

[EpicDing]

HOI is pretty great too, never did it to the same degree as EU for me though. HOI is great if you're into wargaming, less nation-running.

Best total war type strategy game i can get on PS4?

Nothing comes even close to dropping a pit of shades and melting 3000 skaven in 10 seconds sadly. Went back to pc since I had to play total war(hammer).

FF IX lands on the Switch today..

I didn't know there was a video game thread on this site. Gaming has been my #1 hobby for a long time.

I couldn't find modern game to play that engaged me so I decided to go back and give a game called Oblivion another run-through. Younger people might not know it; its the predecessor to Skyrim. The games are very similar.

I'll tell you what: I'm having the time of my life. That game is a masterpiece. Coming from Morrowind there were certain things I didn't appreciate when it came out, like the auto-leveling, but I have so much more respect for what they tried to accomplish now. They created a game world where you could go anywhere and do anything you wanted, in any order.

I'm running around casually closing random Oblivion gates but I'll eventually have to go back and re-activate the main quest (I'm just trying to draw the game out). I think any gamer who likes RPGs could still have a blast with Oblivion, even if they haven't played older RPGs.

Oblivion is the best game in the entire series, AINEC!

Skyrim was my first in the series and I've always heard good things for the other installments.

Also, Left Alive drops in a week. It has giant mechs and I'm here for it.

I have no qualms that Skyrim is a great game. Millions of people adore it (my nephews included).

For some reason I just can't quite get going on it. I think it's the fact I come from an older generation of TES gamers; I've spent so many thousands of hours on those games.

I have the same problem with The Witcher 3. I've played from the tutorial to the first town like 4 times and have petered out every time. I loved the 1st two Witcher games.

I dug Skyrim but the ending just felt so...flat.

power through it.

You won't regret it.

Skyrim and The Witcher 3 were both awesome. Probably my two favorite RPGs of the last 10 years.

I wish Final Fantasy would get their act together.

Thoughts on the RE2 reboot?

I loved it – though the emotional cut scenes were (as always) meh, and as it turned out I wound up not exploring the chief's office, but beyond that awesome.

Is it worth going back and playing as the other character?
