I don't play games much anymore either, I got tired of all the brutal bloody mayhem themed titles, just doesn't make sense to me spending that kind of money for more of the same old same new. I like the trend that the game developers are turning to lately though, more on strategy and less on button mashing. ~ I don't know about all that. There's a huge variety of games out there. It's not all violence. If you like strategy and haven't played yet I highly recommend XCOM 2 on PS4 or PC. It's an absolute gem of a turn based strategy game and requires no finger dexterity or quick thinking. It's addicting and brutally hard at times. I never could beat it but it get more fun with every run constantly learning and developing new strategies. There are plenty of non-bloody games out there though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mainly play on the PC platform, I'm more inclined towards the graphical environment designs and character story base themes, like the old soul reaver and prince of Persia series, as far as RPG games goes the most recent titles I played was half life and the Kingdom of amalur stuff. Still don't own a console to be honest, bought a few as presents for the teens of pals and friends but that's as far as console experience ports for me. Portal 2 is still my favorite from recent years and that's why what... seven years ago? ~ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 2 months ago, somehow the wife and kids just let me, I sat down to play Total War: Rome 2 on PC for 16 straight hours. 9am to 1am. I've never done anything like that before but I just couldn't stop getting in one more turn. I totally conquered the hell out of it. My eyes were completely bugged out and my wrist hurt pretty bad. I couldn't use a mouse for at least 2 weeks afterwards without pain. Anyhow, I just felt like telling you all that lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Total War title I remember was Shogun, not sure if it's the same as it was years ago, yeah I went through the same I can't afford to invest those kind of hours anymore on games to be honest, in the early days I had the same experience with those Simcity and Star Wars xwing series... Nowadays I just pay more attention to the game world and character design, part of the deal I made with the teens was I let them play and open up the levels and I just go and "explore" Or I play the puzzle solving bits and they deal with the boss fights... One of my favorite memories is that title : Quote The Longest Journey is a point-and-click adventure video game developed by Norwegian studio Funcom for Microsoft Windows and released in 1999. The game was a commercial success, with sales in excess of 500,000 units by 2004, and was acclaimed by critics. An iOS version was released on October 28, 2014. Wikipedia Initial release date: November 18, 1999 Series: The Longest Journey Series Developer: Funcom Genre: point-and-click adventure Platforms: Microsoft Windows, iOS Designers: Ragnar Tørnquist, Didrik Tollefsen ~ Kinda lame by today's standards but the art work and story line... Beautiful... ~ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A girlfriend now occasionally asks How Arthur Morgan ended up. I chat mostly with my brother over PS4. We tend to always return to GTA Online. Women talk face to face.

Playing it again with the stealth costume was fun. But the follow-up game was flat. Even the subsequent editions on PS+...

EA being the butt kisser they were at the time hid a super duper American super fantastic player deep in the transfer list on the cheap, I don't remember the name but the day I brought him into the team he started scoring hat tricks all the way through to the title and all cup competitions. Won everything for that season too... Suffice to say I stopped playing much and got more interested in the golf titles that were making the links and graphical environment, I still enjoyed a front nine or back once in awhile before my puter died... ~ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcom Posted May 18, 2020 #2440 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Finished Wii U Zelda, or taken on the Boss in the castle, and am just clocking up Shrines, and monster parts so l can get some cool things when l run into the monster guy again. There is also an option to become a Spider thing, so l will certainly do that and clobber some hobgoblins, and already slayed a Hynocks, (nasty beast/horse) and never want to again. Tried to tame a Unicorn, but that sucker is hard to tame, I should get Super Mario 3D World this week, but will stay with Zelda for the time being. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time through Dark Souls is a punishing romp of misery, but now it's fun to do a level 1 play through with just a club in your underwear. The games are tough, but fair. Nioh is very punishing, until you realize that you can't play it like a souls game and have to use the mechanics they designed specifically for that game. Most games just ramp up damage and call it harder. Some of the Call of Duty games are notorious for this. World at War on veteran was all about getting lucky and no being overwhelmed by grenades while trying to make it to the next check point. The new Modern Warfare was a great balance of difficulty on veteran. Enemies a little harder to kill, bu they're not spamming you with grenades or killing you in one or two shots. Screw all those one-and-done modes, though. I don't enjoy that at all. I loved World at War, hope it gets remastered. Miss, free for all, my favorite zombie map (shi no numa) along w mp40, which melted everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
