Video Game Thread v. Wii4One

[OpenYourEyes311]

Most of these games are too old for me, but I will chime in and say that I have played Archon for NES, and it was pretty great!

Yet another post for the top 25 thread accidentally made in this thread lol.

haha oops!! I don't even remember posting that! I literally just posted something similar in the correct thread. weird!

Is anyone playing Hurtworld? I got it for Christmas and so far, it's pretty good, especially for a game in early access.

Also, FTL: Faster Than Light is becoming my go to game for lulls between classes. Such a masterpiece.

I've been playing the HD Remaster of FFX and finally beat Penance last night.

What's especially crazy about those numbers is that they're both outpacing their predecessors. In isolation, the Xbox One is selling quite well. It just happens to be next to the PS4, which is doing incredibly well.

Everyone go play the game Undertale- now.

I'll wait until the hype for that one dies a bit

[Cable]

Hype or not, it's that good. Not perfect, but nothing is.

[Genowyn]

Undertale is great. It was 2015's GOTY by a wide margin.

Because it hasn't been said nearly enough ITT apparently.

I'll wait until the hype for that one dies a bit

I recommend to just ignore the hype and go in and make your own opinion of it. Yeah, it being shoved down my throat left a bad taste, but that's more a problem with the fanbase than the game itself.

[Sacul]

Yeah I have friends that played it months ago and con confirm the fanbase is cancerous

Somehow I've managed to avoid any major spoilers. I'll just wait until the game goes on sale to get it for a low price.

Keep it that way. I will tell you two things though.

The music is awesome.

Be merciful.

I played through lara croft and the temple of osiris over the weekend.  That game (and the previous, guardian of light) are so much fun.  Really enjoyed it.  Now that the new Tomb Raider is available on PC, I think I might need to stick with Lara and get that game now.  The first reboot of Tomb Raider was fantastic and I've heard nothing but good things about the new one.

Exactly the way I feel about Undertale.
It may be a really solid game (especially since I enjoy most retro-style RPGs), but the fanbase people I know are like "OMG UNDERTALE IS THE BEST GAME EVA GET IT NOW!" and it`s kinda annoying. I`ll get it the next time it gets on sale though to check it out.

[Cable]

Cannot there not be truth to hype? I'm all for ignoring trends and what's popular.

I had never heard of Undertale, nor did I know of the hype before or during it. It was a simple recommendation from a friend.

Afterwards, I had just played a game that had more emotion in 6-10 hours than all the Final Fantasys X and earlier that I played combined. So knock it as you may- no game is without fault. But you will miss a fantastic game because it's better to be in the minority and be a contrarian. 

[Sacul]

Oh I'll definitely get to it, but maybe in a year or two, when it gets cheap, or when I have free time to play games

That's cool man. Getting older sucks for free time, at least from my perspective. Try to stay away from info about it- spoilers they be out there everywhere.

Undertale's OST is incredible. Especially when you realize that there's about, 5-6 leitmotifs that Toby uses and just goes to town in using those six tunes in a bunch of different paces and music styles.

[Cedar redaC]

I was given Undertale as a gift. So far, it's pretty good. I'm not getting the hype yet though.

[Lynxo]

Just chiming in to say that I've finished Bloodborne. Even though it was the "easy" ending, I still feel really proud. 

[TL]

So I played Undertale.

Like many people, I took a while to get around to it mostly because the overwhelming level of hype was putting me off a bit. I wanted to experience it on my own terms. That, combined with my first impression from what I'd seen being that I'd probably find it to be a charming little game, but that I wouldn't get as much out of it because I don't really have any nostalgia for 16 bit RPGs.

I went in as blind as possible, only really knowing the thing about "you can finish it without killing anything". Whenever a game attempts that, it does increase my interest in it a bit (Mirror's Edge is so much better on a pacifist run).

So I did manage a pacifist run, with only a handful of vague hints from a friend of mine to get the best ending.

This game is fantastic! The characters are charming and well handled, the whole thing has a ton of personality, and there's a lot more depth to the experience than I was expecting. Without spoiling anything, there are some very clever ideas at work too. It may well be one of my favorite games of 2015 now.

[wizard of Thought]

As I said, I`m getting it the next time it`ll be on sale, I`m really interested actually, but I have plenty of games to play right now and I probably will have some time for Undertale then.

[TL]

Cool. I wasn't specifically replying to you; more giving my thoughts on a game I just played.

[wizard of Thought]

Alright, I just noticed that a Steam Sale started. So it seems like I`ll be getting Undertale within next week 
I just hope it will now meet my expectations which are quite high now, but I`ll see.

The new Doom looks awesome. Especially with Von Miller, Josh Norman and Beast Mode playing it.

[Genowyn]

Yeah so for the people waiting to get Undertale on sale... It's on sale.

[Dark Castle]

Yeah so for the people waiting to get Undertale on sale... It's on sale.

I think they meant more than a change from $10-$8, at least for me that's a negligible change.

[ariich]

Yeah Steam Sales are often so good that I basically buy almost nothing that isn't at least 50% off.

[wizard of Thought]

Yeah Steam Sales are often so good that I basically buy almost nothing that isn't at least 50% off.

Normally I also handle Steam Sales like that, but I think I`m going to make an exception with Undertale this time in case it won`t be like deal of the day with more % off.

Actually I didn`t expect it to become much cheaper on sale, so I`ll give it a try during the next week.

[Lynxo]

So there's a new FFVII Remake trailer.

I have only one response to this.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

As a fan the Stalker games and the Metro series along with survival and FPS in general, Escape from Tarkov looks almost to good to be true. Seriously it looks amazing!
