i'm playing the game where i froth at the mouth waiting for my copy of fallout 4 to come so i can slide on my pip-boy and die. when i'm not doing that it's deux ex human revolution.

lol so I'm thinking about getting a cheap used phone with a big screen to use only for that Pip-Boy

like a Galaxy Note 1 or something, take out the SIM card and remove all the other apps and just leave it in there 24/7

good call. just wear it everywhere, you never know.

tbh i was tempted to get my first apple product in years after i heard fallout shelter was only for iphones. glad they're putting it to androids soon but damn i'm actually jealous over a MOBILE GAME.

Finally finished Dragon Age and started Dragon Age 2. Also halfway through Mass Effect 3, starting Diablo 3 and stalling to start Assassin's Creed 3, because I don't want to see how it all went downhill.

DA2 blooooooooooooooooows

but I finished it anyway

DAO is def a classic tho

heard mixed reviews on DAI and I prob won't play it

I didn't hate DA2 so much, although I played it before DA1 so didn't have the better game to compare it to. DAI rocks though! Way better than DA2 like a billion times better.

For some reason I bought Fable III on Sunday. I might hate it already I have nothing to play on my 360 anymore

haha I had a fun time playing through the Fable Anniversary Collection on Steam a few months ago (took like 15 hours total)

I have played 2 but not 3

and really I only skipped DAI because my friends wanted to play multi and I saw a terrible review of the p2w multiplayer gameplay. plus I assumed W3 would be similar but much better

Fable II was an amazing game, and so emotional toward the end (or was that just me?!). I didn't like Fable 3 at all, and didn't finish it. I used to work in the games industry, and prior to F.III's release, Peter Molyneux told me that it was full of so many amazing improvements, I was really looking forward to it. The reality was more or less the opposite of what he led me to believe! When I asked him what happened, he said they'd decided to make it more inclusive for female gamers, so they'd dumbed it down. I was shocked - not so much at the dumbing down (although that in itself was totally lame) but that he'd actually make that admission. I realised at that point why so many people in the industry consider him to be a complete jerk.

I discovered Trine 2 in the Steam sale last week, and unlike most games these days, it had a demo. Downloaded it, played it with my beloved, and loved it. Bought it for a most bargainous 2 euros! It's such a cool game - really beautiful, fun to play, and challenging enough to be interesting... if a little frustrating at times.

By myself, I'm playing Assassin's Creed Rogue. Yes, I know I'm late to the party but I always wait until games have been out for a while so that by the time I get it, the bugs have been fixed. Plus they are usually cheaper by then

DA:I was an amazing game. It looks great on PC. But because I am a pervert.. I wish it had better romance options!

It's more of a sweet-love kind of deal in DA:I lol. I went with Cullen the first time and Josephine the second. If I play again I may try for Scout Harding.

I went with Solas because of storyline reasons. But I wanted to do Iron Bull! I am totally straight but I can imagine the romance options with him are... interesting!

I tend to play my RPGs are female characters. I like to be sassy.

I like that, I always play as female just because I'm happy to have the option lol. How was it with Solas? I focused on getting all of his approval in the 2nd play through, but not romancing him.

ETA: I'm thinking since Fable iii is so lame already, I might try that Ark game. But I don't use my PC - so I set it up on the PC and then cable it to the TV or to the XBOX? I'm such a moron when it comes to electronics.

Solas has an amazing storyline if you romance him. I don't wanna give spoilers or anything, but it coincides with the main storyline as well. Plus he is very tender

I am not sure about Ark. However, I do have a PC hooked up to my TV in the living room which I use for my home theater system. I have Steam on it and occasionally lounge out there while playing some games. If you want to hook a PC up to a TV you need the right cable. Most PCs these days have a HDMI plug for their GPU which can just plug right into the TV. If not, you may need an older adapter.

I'm currently playing shadows of mordor for xb1 also old school zelda here and there

did somebody say Solas

Dragon Age Inquisition. Well, replaying it at least. The grinding and fetch quests were obvious in my first playthrough, but on my second it's getting to be a bit unbearable. I think I'm going to skip the Hissing Wastes in this playthrough because urgh. The Forbidden Oasis wrecked me.

Actually getting nostalgia for DA2. I might start up another playthrough for that one after DAI. Also, I'm probably one of the 7 people in the world who enjoyed DA2, so it's nbd for me to replay it again.

oh hey, let's go to the city

oh hey, let's go to the city in the dark

oh hey, let's go to this one area with a ridge and some bandits

oh hey, let's go back to the city

oh hey, let's stay in the same 5 zones the entire game and just change it from night to day


DA2 in a nutshell. anyone else reading this, you're welcome


although this is from the guy who thought DX:IW was a (relatively) worthy successor (and DX is GOAT for me so that's saying a lot), so take all this with a grain of salt

but DA:O is still miles above DA2.

and DA:I I won't even touch after the abysmal user scores and vids I watched. You could just be playing W3 instead...

Won't deny the repetitiveness of the DA2 environments. Other than that, and several other clearly rushed issues due to the extreme time constraints, I had a good ol time with it.

lol. It's a good thing CDPR delayed W3 last year - there are tons of annoying comparisons now, but DAI would have been utterly wrecked if W3 kept its original release date. This is coming from someone who prefers the DA games btw.

I don't even get how people hate DA:I. It's so awesome.

Such a huge difference between critic (8.5) and user (5.8) Metacritic scores. Interesting. It's old enough now to be showing up in the discount bins, think I'll pick up a PS4 copy.

I didn't look much at the single player but a friend wanted to 4-man the multiplayer and I watched some videos about the p2w cash shop and almost punched myself in the face. as far as the single player goes, I was already waiting for w3 to drop

also, this. although it's not really that interesting post-GG (post-Gerstmann, really). we all know critics get teh paids for teh metascoerz. I have a friend in game dev (and multiple others have commented on this online) who says his bonus is related directly to the metascore the game gets.

Seems like a lot of the 0 reviews are about 1) poor performance on PCs and 2) people who felt like they had to farm a lot. Personally I felt that they provided more than enough side quests that I rarely ever felt like I was farming. I like the busywork in the game, but apparently a lot of people didn't. They want all plot. I prefer breaks from the plot so it worked great for me.

DA2 wuch much disappoint after DA:O so I guess that killed it for me. a friend played through DA:I and enjoyed it.

dat w3 doe

Ya well after 8 hours in ER the other day (I'm fine, blah blah kidney stone) I'm pretty certain that my xbox one savings have vanished I'll try to resume W2 maybe this weekend.

ahhhhh sux


w2 was def awesome...played through it pretty quickly in anticipation of 3. I had a PT that I started and abandoned a year or two back, so I just started a fresh one.
