I never get multiplayer games and shooters on PS4 lol. So I'd always say PC but thats would depend on howmany people you play with on PS4 vs PC.

[Devise 4,475]

Decided to go with the new Doom instead of Overwatch. I'd have to get PS Plus again for Overwtach, and while I will eventually, right now Doom seemed like the smarter choice. Plus it's  really rad game, people should check it out.

I'm playing Overwatch on PS4, it's pretty good. Think my most used guy to this point has been Zenyatta, then Reinhardt and Tracer

 

Higgins and I have been playing quite a bit on Xbone, I like Genji

I've tried Genji a few times, he's pretty good but I keep forgetting about his projectile reflecting move. 

 

I've just gotten the legendary hockey skin for Lucio, so I think by law I have to play as him religiously now.

Bastion's a pain in the dick to deal with, especially in the payload when they have a bastion on top of the payload while a Reinhardt shields. I've started going with him and Torbjorn (who I got a rad biker skin for!) recently on defense stuff.

My favourite since beta has been Widowmaker. If you can do it right, you can beast with her. But, she's really easy to take down close range.

[Tagger 2,722]

Started Fable Anniversary this week

 

I love Fable 3, obviously, this is a step backwards, but I can see now how Fable III evolved and it's made me appreciate that game even more. Bravo. Sad that Fable IV was cancelled now.

Oh Fable. The developers who make those games, their head Peter Molyneux anyway, is always such a sad but kind of awesome story in games. He would get up on stage or do interviews and pitch his ideas for Fable or any of his games really. And you just wanted to believe that what he was saying would be reality. The immersion, the choices, the thematic/narrative elements mixed with gameplay. And while they never made bad games, the end result was often way less than what was promised/pitched. For various reasons, often time constraints because big publishers make you ship a game eventually. 

 

I always felt like he was the victim of being a bit too older generation for the way he wanted to develop games. As in, nowadays how many games are developed by one person, self published with easy assistance for getting on platforms from Microsoft, Sony, and Valve/Steam. Tools are more and cheaply readily available. With all this guys ideas he could of had 5-10 years to juts make the game he always wanted to make with all the features/things he wanted in it instead of being forced to compromise. He is still making things I believe, but his reputation is kind of in the toilet after some mishaps and a couple of Kickstarter things. 

 

Still though, I liked the Fable games. Only beat 1 and most of 2, and played about half of 3. Lots of great things in those games. If there wasn't so many quality RPG's coming out in a timeframe when they did, especially the time sinks like Oblivion/Skyrim, I'd probably of beaten all 3. 

[Will 4,660]

Civilization VI doe 

[HabsFanFromOntario 21]

I miss KOTOR games.

 

Also, I want to get Vermintide. 

[Tagger 2,722]

If anyone gets Overwatch for PS4 and wants to play a game, my PSN is lynchtheram. Would be cool to play a game with other people on here.

 

Also, Lucio is a healing machine!

I play MLB cause I suck at video games

Played Fable II & III. I love Fable II so I was really excited for III but I thought the game was very disappointing. You spend hours building an army and then you rule for not even half the time you spent preparing for it. It also makes you believe you have a choice between good and bad but if you're smart enough to invest in houses, it's really easy to just make the good choices all the time.

 

Anyone plays Uncharted 4? A lot of people are complaining about the multiplayer because all you play for is different hats and suits but I'm having a really good time with it so far. The campain was really amazing.

[frescoelmo 1,276]

Confirmed Overwatch has taken over most of my gaming time from Division/HotS.  Also played Rocket League for the first time yesterday, will probably buy at some point.  Anyone have a Steam controller?  Would be interested in your thoughts before I buy...  I've heard it's near impossible to play on PC w/o one (or an xbox controller).

 

I would say my 5 favorite rolls on Overwatch are Bastion (late game OP), Torbjorn, McCree, Roadhog, Junkrat.  Mostly gadget guys I suppose.

[STZ 5,360]

The Division was such a let down. I got convinced to buy it from two of my buddies, who just got an XBONE.. I liked the idea of actually getting back in and playing consistently with them, but it wasn't even fun. Just a grind and farm kind of game.. Prob had more fun with it than anything else, just cuz I was shooting the shit with my friends for 3-4 hours a night, but we could have done that with Peggle..

Bolded the ones I've played. Life Is Strange is probably my #1 game. Damn, I really loved it. I still have the wallpapers on my PC and phone and listen to the soundtrack all the time....

FF13 is on your tops? It's not even in my top 3 FF games. I don't know why, but I just didn't like it that much. FFX is my favourite by far though.

Mass Effect series is definitely up there easily. Mass Effect 2 was amazing. I really hope Mass Effect: Andromeda delivers.

It's funny to have a game like Rocket League in a list like this, but it truly is a superb game. It's definitely one of my all-time favs as well. I play it almost every single day. I'm currently in Challenger limbo though. I can't find any kind of consistently good teammates....up a division...down a division.

I should probably get Overwatch. I had some fun in Beta but just didn't end up buying it. Yet.

I have Uncharted 4. The campaign was one of the best I've ever played. Multiplayer I think is great as well. It's really fun. I don't know what people are really looking for in multiplayer progression.

I played The Division for a few weeks, and then just kind of stopped playing all together. I never even decided I was going to stop...I just kind of did. I had a lot of fun with it and don't regret the purchase at all, though. It was only really fun when playing in a party with my buddies though. Whenever I played it alone I just couldn't do it for more than like 30 minutes.

I guess ranks like in other MP, which I agree would be fun. 

I'm also not a fan of the fact that I unlock mods only for the gun I currently use. But it's still an enjoyable multiplayer IMO. 

 

And I think I'm the only person who didn't like Life is Strange  I played the first two episodes and I didn't really care about the story or the characters at all, and I usually like that kind of game. My favourite episodic game would have to be Tales from the Borderlands.

Yeah, Life is Strange was very close to being my #1, but I had to go with Persona 4 just on the fact that since I became an adult, it's the only story driven game I've completed several times over, but yeah Life is Strange was awesome, would complete every episode the day it came out haha! 

 

FFVIII is 8 ! It was between that, 9 and 10 for me. I hated 13, just really boring, way too many tutorials, just wasn't what I came to FF for.

Lol you picked the most gay and lazy heroes possible  Bastion-I-sit-here-turret-for-play-of-game and the Dwarf that gets plays of the game looking Widow's mini skirt haha

 

Matchmaking is stupid in this game, Qued up with a few friends and we were fighting level 80s as lvl 20s haha. Wtf, why am I playing against someone with 200+ more game hours than me at this point in time??

How do you know their sexual orientations?  Playing against better competition = getting better at the game...  speaking of lazy.

Its in their character info button. I mean i have the highest win rates on both those toons and thats cuz its ridiculously easy to win games on defense with them for most maps.

 

Not when said better competition is wiping you out in your own spawn lol. The difference was ridiculous. Can't learn from that  Its like if playing against an NHLer makes you a better hockey player. Probably not since you'd get schooled off the face of the earth lol.

[Will 4,660]

Me and higgins played in a match on defense where 3 of us chose Torjborn and built turrets up the ass, very easy win. It helped 1 other guy chose that chick that can teleport you after death so we kept re-spawning at the objective and building more turrets.

 

they should probably limit the amount of people who can choose the same guy lol
