OT: Video Game Thread: Part One

[Lord Defect]

Anyone play that new zombie game where your a biker? I’m drawing a blank on the name.
Also anyone ever try the PSN app, YaPSNap? It’s supposed to be better than the standard PSN app from Sony, and gives you more details like play time per game and guides or tips for gameplay and trophy hunting.

Days Gone.

I bought the CE but I have yet to open it.

 

[Chinatown88]

The new info from the Pokemon direct looked pretty hype.

Because signing Eberle was mentioned in another thread...

I'm into 2024 in my Caps Be a Pro. The Flyers have Eberle, Seguin, Duchene, Nyquist, and OEL, all while being able to keep Giroux, Voracek, Konecny, Patrick, JVR, Lindblom, Hart, and all the young dmen (Ghost, Sanheim, Provy, Myers) AND stay under the cap.

But they always lose in the second round to my Caps, lol.

My pro is 27, 98 overall, exact franchise potential, has won every major scoring award and Conn Smythe since entering the league, has broken the league record for goals and points in a season multiple times.

Only receives two free agent offers and gets lowballed by his own team

I know EA won't because they only care about HUT, but they really gotta fix this logic. If this guy was real and made it to free agency there would be 30 ****ing teams loading up the brinks trucks and banging down his door. Imagine Wayne Gretzky reaching free agency in his prime and his agent telling him, "Oops, guess there's only two teams interested in the greatest player of all time!"

You should at least be able to negotiate. Submit your term and salary demands to your agent and see what he comes back with. Go back and forth until you receive a final offer from your team. If you can't reach a deal with them, or don't want to re-sign, you hit the open market. You know, like in real life. But that wouldn't get twelve year olds to use their parent's credit cards on fake trading card packs, I guess.

Anyone else order the Google Stadia? I am sucker for everything Google does so I scooped up a Founder's Edition.

Yeah, I've griped a decent bit about BaP in this thread. I'm just reminded of the awful signing phase every time my contract runs up (which is always every two years, because apparently no one's willing to commit to an all time great player for more than two years), lol

I'm still playing 18. Usually I wait a few months and just pick the current game up in the winter or spring when it's cheap, but 19 is the first NHL game I've skipped altogether since 15. Probably gonna take a lot of change for me to buy again.

Also, as far as I'm aware, I'm pretty sure fog of war can be turned off, but like I said, I don't have 19 so I'm not 100% sure.

I came here to ask the same thing. I just started "Days Gone," and so far it seems like "The Last of Us" on a bike.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Destiny 2 is coming to Steam on Sept 17th and the base game will be F2P but you can pre-order the game for the full set of all expansions, including the new DLC for Shadowkeep.

 

[landsbergfan]

Anyone else see Striking Vipers ep of Black Mirror yet? I'm Roxette and Lance is Mat Barzal.

 

[Striiker]

These Call of Duty reports are sounding S P I C Y

Apparently there's parts that make "No Russian" look like a Pixar movie and playtesters have cried during demos. Should be interesting at the very least.

While I agree it sounds spicy, I don't see how the game gets released that way without tons of backlash and what not. I still suspect it is generating buzz and final version will be tamer, but I like what I hear so far.

That being said, I won't buy it and will continue to just play Fortnite so w/e

Don't be afraid to test the unkown.

NHL 19 is one of the Xbox Live Gold free games this month. I haven't played one of those games in years and was really only successful at NHL '92 because of the "jam the puck into the corner of the net for an instant goal" trick.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I haven't played fortnite, I been so busy with the new Hitman 2 game because they keep adding levels and sniper missions each month. I never seen a video game like this that just keeps adding each month.

They have new levels and missions set rest of this year.

Are they going to make you do a Sandy Hook-style killing now?

I would assume that's a biiiiiit farther than they're willing to go

I sure as hell hope so!

Typically video games treat kids as off-limits.

Even in really violent games, I can’t think of any where kids are able to be harmed.

I was thinking about the same thing after I posted that. Kids may die in cutscenes for dramatic effect (I'm looking at you, The Last of Us!) but I'm hard pressed to think of any game that lets you actually control your character to kill kids. They're usually just invincible.
