Devise 4,475 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 So this Overwatch beta. Pretty interesting stuff. I'm kinda sad that this is just going to be a Team DM style game with no single player component because the characters, charm, personality, and just variety of character types is very nice.

Depends on what kinds of games you usually like, I actually think there are a ton of great games on sale today! The Banner Saga, Portal 2, The Beginners Guide, South Park: The Stick of Truth or Europa Universalis and the other Paradox games just to name a few that were featured on the front page when I looked. And then of course there are the "obvious" topsellers like WItcher 3, Rocket League, Civilization V or Dark Souls II...

I'll take a look at the ones you mentioned that I dont have 8) Rocket League is amazing, probably the game I played the most over the last few months! Of course it helps that all Playstation Plus users could get it for free when it came out, so it has a huuuuge player base at least on PS4 and as far as I know it's very popular on PC as well (and allows cross-play too).

After watching some videos of it, I bought Crusader Kings II yesterday in the sale. Haven't really had the time to properly get into it yet but will have a chance around Christmas as I've got two weeks off, but it seems like the kind of game I'd like. I noticed that I bought a Europa Universalis converter in the package with Crusader Kings II, so are they similar kind of games?

I noticed that I bought a Europa Universalis converter in the package with Crusader Kings II, so are they similar kind of games? They use the same basic engine and share quite a few mechanics so they are definitely comparable, I'd argue that Crusader Kings is somewhat harder to learn and a bit more complex though, as it requires more micromanagement. But it is a really unique game that has tons of great ideas and elements never before seen in any strategy game (I love the whole dynasty system and family building for example), so that alone makes it a very worthwhile experience. And as you have noticed you can even convert your CKII saves and use them as your starting point for EU4, although I've never tried that. 6 hours ago, Draper said: I just bought that paradox strategy package with CKII, EU4, Victoria II and something else that I don't remember Great purchase imho :). I bought that one too about half a year ago or so, started with CKII and then continued with EU4, but haven't tried Victoria II or Hearts of Iron III yet. You just get sooooo much content with that package!

DollarAndADream 3,356 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 @Kendrick, I'd be down to play NHL 16 some time. I haven't been playing it much at all in the past month or so though, but I'm always pretty good no matter what for some reason. People love to play me and call me out or whatever, because for years between like NHL 11-14 I was a nut and one of those losers who got to go play test NHL at EA HQ. I'm not trying to brag because I do suck sometimes but I'm just saying even with awhile of a layoff I won't be too rusty and I'm still down to play. Whoever doesn't have Rocket League, buy Rocket League. It basically took over my NHL playing. It's the game I play the most on my PS4. Recently, I've bought Rainbow Six and Need for Speed. I can highly recommend Rainbow Six, and I would recommend Need for Speed too but it depends what your tastes are. People hate on it because it's a game where you can't play unless you're connected online, but that's not a problem for me. I'm horrible with buying new games and never finishing older ones. List of unfinished, but really close to finished games within the last while: The Witcher 3 Fallout 4 Bloodborne Batman: Arkham Knight MGS: The Phantom Pain Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/1549-official-videogame-thread/page/49/#findComment-300577 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really glad they remastered it for the PS4. I thought it looked fantastic on the PS3, so seeing it on the PS4 I was pleasantly surprised that it looks even better. I should really finish my playthrough of that too. I forgot to add The Last of Us: Remastered to that list of games I haven't completed yet. I played it a ton on the PS3 though so I suppose I have a bit of a reason for not finishing it again.

I think a lot of people that first heard about the development of the game weren't sure how successful it would be because it was touted as another zombie-like survival game. It's easily a lot more than just that and gets you connected to the characters especially. Multiplayer is also highly praised and gives its own unique experience.
