OT: Official Video Game Thread (Part 4)

[Paralyzer]

Haven't played my Xbox hardcore in over a year due to being busy but with FF15 and KH3 being released soon I'm gonna be in full gamer mode again

Also the Destiny expansions are reportedly pretty good too

They are very good but I'm already at 390 on 3 characters and now the only way to get to 400 is through hard mode raid or iron banner or trials of Osiris and I can't either win a PVP match or find people to raid with. So I put my attention back into Ark Survival on the PC

The secret to Iron Banner.

Lots of decent Black Friday deals on PSN right now. Finally picked up Hitman.

Can also use this coupon on top of the sales.

Might be worth saving until the weekend since there might be a flash sale.

Overwatch can be so frustrating at times.

I don't play the game so I wouldn't know but isn't it largely dependant on the skill level of your teammates? I.E. you get a crap team and you usually lose?

 

[syz]

The best game of the year is on sale on PSN for $20 this weekend and you should get it if you don't already have it.

Really team dependent, which sucks. Alot

Final Fantasy XV tomorrow, I'm so ready. Stand by Me, got my Pro ready

 

[awesomo]

im supposed to get it tomorrow via amazon but the company intelcom delivering it. Have not heard good things, i would be surprised if it made it to my place tomorrow

 

[syz]

Amazon has been trying new things since the whole Canada Post strike... I think you should be fine if you went with 2 day shipping.

 

[syz]

Turns out I was wrong, 2-day shipping apparently isn't good enough.

Expected delivery listed as between 4-7 tonight... guess they didn't feel like it.

Final Fantasy XV tomorrow, I'm so ready. Stand by Me, got my Pro ready

I invested a few hours into it so far, very impressed with how it looks and plays.

There's a lot there though, I'm still just in the first small area

Never been much of a gamer--my last console was a PS3 and 360 which I barely touched--and I usually just play a bit here and there on Steam. That all changes today as I ordered a machine with a GTX 1070 (I don't know much about hardware but apparently this is pretty good). I need to make up for the lack of video games in my life, please tell me what I need to play! My interaction with humans shall decline from this day forth. I already got XCOM 2 because I'm a fan of the first, but I literally have no idea which video game titles (for PC) I need to look out for haha

Get GTAV.

 

[syz]

Still doesn't make any sense but it has Mads Mikkelsen though.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

It's hard to take that game seriously without any actual gameplay. Granted it's still at least 1.5 years away from releasing but...

 

[The Batman]

Get GTAV.

I'll add that to my wish list thanks.

I am looking to replace my HTPC with a machine that I can play games on with my kids, as well as stream video. Where did you buy yours? Or did you build it?

 

[drewshoo]

I'll add that to my wish list thanks.

Also, I know it may be difficult to wait until, but wait until Dec. 22 to buy from Steam. Christmas sale starts then.

Really enjoying FFXV so far. So much to do.

 

[syz]

Not enjoying FFXV right now because the delivery person apparently couldn't find my house and didn't feel like trying again so Amazon had to send me a replacement that won't be here until next week. And said shipment will probably end up going through the same shipping company so I'm not sure how this is really a solution.

FF15 made it to my door fine on tuesday. intelcom is supposed to deliver me dishonored 2 today.

ive been lucky with this company so far but there is a whole reddit thread on these guys and the experiences are not very good haha

That's *****y, I pre-ordered mine from Square in the summer, I picked it up and was playing it the Monday evening "before" the release date.

Seriously though, can't find your house so he gave up? What a knob.

Alert on the tracker said that they were "not able to access the front door." Sounds more like a go-to excuse for "I didn't deliver this and don't want to catch **** from my boss."

I don't live in an apartment and I was home that day; made sure to stick around because the order said it was set to deliver between 3 and 7. No knock, no doorbell, no notification that I missed the delivery. So either they couldn't find me (why are you working in delivery without a GPS?) or were running late and didn't bother? Although I don't know why they wouldn't just deliver the next day, in that case. Either that or the delivery person wanted a copy of Final Fantasy for free. Amazon's problem now, whatever the reason.

And yea, reading through some of the reviews for these guys, this doesn't sound especially rare. Apparently it's a bunch of contract workers who deliver things out of the back of their cars and get paid per parcel. That Canada Post strike talk scared Amazon enough to get them to switch, and this is what we get instead now.

I heard that Alienwares have issues (and I'm not a fan of Dell tbh) but I got an insane deal on the 15 R3 laptop that I couldn't pass up. I ordered from Dell.ca using a bunch of codes&discounts.

Also, I know it may be difficult to wait until, but wait until Dec. 22 to buy from Steam. Christmas sale starts then.

Thanks for the tip! I probably won't receive my new laptop until then so that kind of makes the wait easier haha
