OT: The All-Purpose Video Game Thread: Part II

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I'll add ya this week. Just a heads up, I am downright awful at NHL 20.


I'm finally getting around to finishing FF XII: Zodiac Age. What an amazing game. So much depth. Story is so so but it is so much fun to play.

When the game came out I got sucked so hard into it, like no other game before. Played it, beat it (the story anyway) then immediately started a new game and played through it again, with a different party setup. The game is so great.

With all the nonsense going on, I broke down an bought an X Box for my daughter this past weekend.

We've only played NHL 20 and NBA2K2020. She's not too good at NHL2020 yet, but we have some good battles in the basketball game. She likes Stephen Curry so we're going to play out a Warriors season with her as the Warriors and me as their opponents.

Haven't loaded Madden yet. And FIFA wasn't at Best Buy.

This is our sports.

So need a game to replay before FF VII remake (Hopefully not delayed again) Comes out in like a month. Should I play Zelda : Breath of the Wild or Final Fantasy XV over again?

If you want to have fun, probably BOTW. FF XV was a pretty game. It was fun at times. I'd take BOTW 10/10.

Well, depending on how work goes, I may have plenty of time to do a new game after this

I mean one of these games is going to be praised for generations to come and the other is like objectively mediocre.

Decisions, decisions.

+1 that first play through of BOTW was some of the most fun I’ve had playing a game in the past _ years

BOTW.

FF15 was meh until all the additional content came out. Had I played all of it in one go it would have been so much better.

Best part of that game was the Pitioss Ruins. I wish they put as much thought into designing the rest of the optional content in that game as they did that.

 

[UnSandvich]

Oh, suggestion for those of you looking for a game that's highly replayable, and easy to learn but difficult to master:

The Binding of Isaac Rebirth (with the Afterbirth & Afterbirth+ DLCs). Top-down roguelike, can run on virtually potato level computers (like, the minimum steam requirements are a 2 core Duo and Windows XP) or is available on most consoles, and is super replayable due to seeding runs

I may or may not have 525 hours in it, don't judge me

Any FF > any Zelda

I liked FF 15 but was far from my favorite FF. BOTW is simply amazing, likely best Zelda game ever made. Yeah I kinda made up my mind before but just needed a couple of whacks in the head. Lol.

 

[Captain Monglobster]

Anyone else play Crusader Kings II? Once you get the hang of it you can sink alot of hours into it....alot.

I take it you didn't play ff13? lmao.

I'd take BotW, LttP and OoT over any FF that isn't 6 or 7 (I view all 5 of these titles in the same light.)

FWIW, I put Nier up there with any of them as well so hurry up and finish it, lol.

Loving Nier so far . The music is mint

I just ordered a PS4 out of sheer withdrawal

 

[Salvage21]

Rekindled my love for Dark Souls. I'm playing through the remaster of the first one - which i never completed. It's going.. okay, so far.

One of my favourite FFs of all but I'm ashamed to admit I never actually beat the main story. Started a fresh game a few times and always got sucked into hunts and side quests somewhere around/post mid-game and then would never get back on track.

 

[Nickmo82]

I just picked up the Phoenix Wright trilogy on Switch. Never played them before. Good fun.

Those and the Apollo Justice games are good fun!

PS5 is reveal is happening now.

 

[Gardner McKay]

If you need something to keep you occupied over the next few weeks...



Fair warning. If you are a fan of the game it is highly addictive.

 

[Leonardo87]

So 5 straight hours of Zelda BOTW last night. No bathroom break, see I don’t need TP. Playing this time with the DLC expansion. So It is different. Love this game can’t wait for the 2nd one to come out.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Have some time off thanks to everything that’s going on so I ordered a bunch of stuff to build a computer to take up my time, got a code to get RE3 for free with one of the parts so now I’m sitting here watching videos of the demo. I also started a new FF7 play through last week so I’ll probably pick that back up at some point

 

[ElLeetch]

Any other flight sim fans? FS2020 looks so killer in the previews.
