System Wars Lounge V. N64

@davillain-: Oh, it's totally an amazing value, and part of the reason I have the Xbone in the first place.

I just have too much else on my plate to justify the full price right now. If it's on a good sale I can't refuse, sure. Otherwise it's behind like, 6 other backlog games.

@darkspineslayer: Fair enough. Though if Rare Replay isn't on sale, those pre-paid cards will be. Get those if there on sale and buy the digital if you'll can.

@davillain-: Hadn't considered that. Maybe a good avenue into other games I've eyed too. Thanks for the tip.

@darkspineslayer: Sure no problem. Since I went all digital this gen, getting those pre-paid cards on sale also helps as a double-standard.

I'd agree with Battlefront's score of seven at the moment, I mean the fact that 16 (levels or is it planets?) are locked behind a $50 season pass is ridiculous; but the game is pretty freaking fun and by golly it is the most beautiful game I've ever seen.

Well if you're studying to become a lawyer, scientist, or a doctor then yes it's worth it since they seem to be the most thriving occupations. However, if you want to be an artist then there's no need for a degree, it matters more on your skill and experience.

So Fallout 4 is shorter than MGSV . Interdasting.

Took 67 hours to reach the ending, vs over 100 in MGSV.

But didn't you hear bro? MGSV is incomplete!

Even though it runs damn near flawlessly, plays amazingly well and clocks in longer than all the previous MGS game combined. But it's an incomplete mess. Yay, SW logic.

That said, I'm pretty sure you could finish up MGSV in 50 hours if you only played the required main missions and a handful of side ops. Still a big ass game though. Arguably longer than it really needed to be.

The frachise really started with 3.

So start with that if you want to play them. I'd personally go straight to New Vegas since it's great and has a stronger established mod community than 3.

I NEED THE FIRE EMBLEM FATES SPECIAL EDITION!!!

Get 4 on Xbox One, get Fallout 3 for free as well, start with whichever one after that.

Here is how I would rank them,

Fallout 1>Fallout: New Vegas>Fallout 2>Fallout 4>Fallout 3

• Fallout 1: Fallout 1 was an attempt to explore how societies and morality would change in a post apocalyptic environment. As societies are starting to rebuild. Excellent quest design and a very well executed implentation of the world's lore. You can beat the game without even firing a single bullet. A time limit might be intimidating to some, but really, dont worry about it.
• Fallout: New Vegas: Las Vegas is caught between a war between 2 growing military super powers. All 3 factions resemble different ideologies. Mr. House represents authoritarian autocracy, the New California Republic represents democracy and pretty much what Donald Trump wants, whereas Ceasar's Legion resembles an empire built on military conquest and slavery much like the roman empire. Excellent quest design and DLC far superior to anything Bethesda put out with Fallout 3 makes this a very recommendable title. I sided with Mr. House, he was by far the most viable option as far as I am concerned.
• Fallout 2: Improved on Fallout 1 in many ways and New Reno is one of the best cities of any RPG. Sadly the developers replaced coherrency with pop culture references and the narrative as a whole suffered for it.
• Fallout 4: Crash to desktop. Crash. Computer Crashes. Plays for 20 minutes. Crashes again. Open area, Crash. Die, crash. Talk to NPC, crash. Who the **** thought it was a good idea to implement such poorly optimized godrays and 4k textures anyways, while making them unnecessarily difficult to disable? Maybe I should get a better PC, but really, this game is sooo poorly optimized. It is probably the most poorly optimized and broken game I have played in my entire life. Oh and the perks are totally unbalanced as well. Get a few perks in rooted, melee weapons and moving target and you are an unstoppable killing machine, even on the highest difficulty. I killed the deathclaw in the beginning of the game, completely unarmored with a tire pipe at level 4... go figure. On the bright side, the world building is far superior to Fallout 3's, as is the gunplay.
• Fallout 3: They say an image says a thousand words. http://i.imgur.com/7fu25Se.jpg

Blab on a 100% PC centric game? HAHA

Go with New Vegas.

@Blabadon: Fallout 3 and NV haven't aged well. You might as well start with 4.

Halfway through MGSV and I don't feel like replaying it after I finish it. This wasn't the case with previous games in the series.

@93BlackHawk93: same here. Looks like Nintendo is not going to restock anytime soon. Tempted to eBay that shit but I have to save up for other things to buy. Decisions decisions hmmmmm.

With a few mods they look great, combat improved as well. Wouldn't bother with Fallout 3.

Really?

I started Fallout New Vegas not too long ago. Enjoying it far more than FO4.

@Maroxad: new Vegas sucks

Anybody have tips on cheap MS store cards? Rare Replay will be on sale, and I'm taking advantage of that.

Best Buy and Gamestop usually offer them for very cheap around this time.

Snow. The devil's work. Bleh.

I'm hesitant on saying New Vegas. It's as much a progress update on NCR and its relations with the rest of Fallout's significant factions as it is an RPG about the most dangerous mailman in the Mojave. If you aren't familiar with NCR, Brotherhood, and Enclave, you'll probably find their quests a bit of a bore.

Your only reasons to support NCR will be given in massive expositions. It's...not much, being constantly told how great NCR is if you've never been there and when it looks like they're knee-deep in shit for simply trying to keep order. Given that they're one of the big players fighting for control of the Mojave Wasteland, it's really bad for newcomers.

You -might- be okay without being too familiar with the Brotherhood. One companion will give you a good idea of their ideologies and help you understand why they're hated by NCR. On the other hand, Enclave's significance and why everyone treats them like Nazis will more or less be lost to newcomers. Thankfully, their quest is one of the easiest to miss, but should you stumble upon it, you probably won't like it.

-

Personally, if you don't mind an outdated UI, I'd recommend starting with Fallout 2. If you do mind, wait for Fallout 4 to be patched to high heaven since it's the most modernized one.

Just...whatever you do, don't pick 3 or Tactics.

I'm playing New Vegas on console and it's still amazing. I'm still finding new things and quests to find.

Buy both FO3 GOTY and FONV GOTY on a sale, and use Tale of Two Wastelands to play both using NV improved mechanics and stuff.

If you get a chance, play FO1 and FO2. They're really old, but still fairly fun once you learn the game.

Fo4 isn't a bad game, but it has similar issues with FO3, with some new bad things thrown in. Just play Fallout, there's fun to be found in most games.

New Adele album is good but man I'm a little disappointed she isn't using her immense popularity to try more experimental shit. Ah well

The flash season 2 is even better than season 1 holy shit that fight was amazing.

The definition of owned. It was like a season finale episode but for flash it's just an episode every week. Best superhero TV show.

New Vegas personally. Sure, it has that open world stuff Bethesda derided the series with (being a Tactical RPG first), however, it involved many of the original team from the first two game, plus Van Buren, so they knew what they were doing.

I wouldn't say either FO1 or FO2 are tactical RPG's. And they are both definitely open world, just with less constant stuff in between locations.

anyone watch Jessica Jones on Netflix yet? any good?

@lostrib: It's reviewing pretty well, and is scoring higher than Daredevil on Metacritic. Considering that Daredevil was good, i'd say that's worth something.

@lostrib: I've watched two-and-a-half episodes so far and really enjoying it. There's a severe lack of action in these first episodes (compared to the incredible 2nd episode of Daredevil) but you know it's all building up; it doesn't bother me, but I could see some thinking it's slow or something.

Recommended. Definitely.

Enjoying Jessica Jones a hell of a lot more than Daredevil.

I've been looking forward to this one for this time now. Gonna start watching it tonight :D

@jg4xchamp: I liked daredevil. Well, except for his really fucking annoying friend with the most punchable face in the history of man. I've only watched the first episode of Jessica Jones and it's alright so. Its got Spartan Locke! Not a fan of the actress that plays Jessica Jones though.

Are all the episodes available right now like Daredevil was when it first started?

If so gonna marathon that shit.

Also I have stopped watching Arrow at the part where Raz threatens Oliver, emember that was ep 18 I think. It's been awhile. Flash is so much better. I just love that cast a lot more. And Wells is my favourite character of the show, wether it was the wells we know... You know.

@a-new-guardian: flash started off really bad. I could not have been less interested in that show. Past around episode 10 it turned things around and finished really really strong. I still watch and like arrow despite shitty acting from Laurel but that show is such a downer.

Fallout: New Vegas having a ghoul being voiced by Danny Trejo. Of course, I'd choose him to be a badass. Come on now. XD

Hate when you reach for something, and you can't reach it, and you have to move.

I couldn't care less about Jessica Jones in print, but holy shit is the show good. I'm expecting the same thing to happen with the Luke Cage show as well.

Just over heard two women discussing how they liked Trump as a presidential candidate. Rather frightening

@nintendoboy16: haha I made him my companion on my second playthrough just because of Danny trejo hehe.

Claudio Bravo and Barca just had an amazing game!

It was hilarious to watch. Madrid are garbage and I'd be shocked if Benitez stays on any longer.

@lostrib: It would honestly be hilarious to ever watch him get in... Before the world imploded, of course. I'd die if he got in, and besides his twatface personality, actually did a lot of good for the country.

The dude's a nutbar... That Muslim registration bollocks is hilarious.

As much as I despise this idiot, I think should be emphasized that there is no denying that MSNBCandCNN are deliberately lying about Trump to make him look bad than he already is.

At this point, I feel as if the media is making him "stronger" by attacking him this way.

Not sure it's quite deliberate lying or fabrication, but rather it seems that Trump is so terribly vague (all the time) in response to the question that it could easily be construed as him. It's kind of like when the guy at a trump rally asked about getting rid of all the muslims, and trump didn't shut him down but just said something like "we'll be looking at a lot of things"

Reporter: Should there be a database system that tracks the Muslims here in this country?

Trump: There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems. And today you can do it. But right now, we have to have a border, we have to have strength, we have to have a wall, and we cannot let what’s happening to this country happen any longer.

Reporter: But that’s something your White House would like to implement?

Trump: Oh, I would certainly implement that. Absolutely.

[...]

Reporter: Do you go to mosques and sign these people up?

Trump: Different places. You sign them up at difference places. But it’s all about management, our country has no management.

So I need an external hard drive for my PS3, and my Wii U... *sigh*

@charizard1605 Bro, remember which one I have to get for the PS3?

Yup it could have been 6-0.
