any good One games coming out this holiday season?

 

[Holocene]

I got the Witcher 3 when it went on sale on Steam. I had heard it was a lot like Skyrim, which I loved. Pretty fun so far. I almost quit when I couldn't kill this werewolf to advance the main story though haha.

I've got WWE 2k16 going right now, Fallout is on deck, intrigued by Witcher 3.

 

[The Gloaming]

Never been that big a gamer, but Witcher 3 is turning me into one.

 

[Nanaki]

Warcraft 2 GOAT strategy game

I must have spent a good 100+ hours in WC2 back in the day. I'm currently playing a ton of Fallout 4 and I picked up BO3 also but I have only put like 12 hours into it. Both games on P.C.

Another Steam sale.

My bank account weeps

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Any of you guys played Shadows of Mordor? I remember it got a lot of hype and acclaim when it came out, and it's on sale (praise be to Gaben) for 17 bucks. Thinking about nabbing it.

The one thing everyone loved is the nemesis system which allowed for replayability and some added challenge. I have had it in my library for months now, I am terrible at buying and never playing games on Steam.

Anyway, it looks very good overall.

I wish I had money for the sale, but I just bought a house and too much fly fishing gear.

 

[Edge]

Thoughts on Syndicate and Arkham Knight?

 

[EpicDing]

Shadow of Mordor was ok, didn't live up to the hype for me.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

I ended up grabbing Cities: Skylines. If you ever liked Sim City, play this game. Very fun.

Ya I'm about to quit a little further into the story.. I have the difficulty set all the way down to just the story and I still struggle in every encounter... I'd wat I'm doing wrong, I'm dodging like crazy but if it's not 1 on 1 I just dodge into another attack.

 

[The Undertaker]

Just got NHL 16. Some of these player ratings are ********.

I had gotten this in the last Steam sale and it was pretty fun. I had problems balancing out the budget but eventually got the hang of it and took my city pretty far. Then I started the Witcher 3 and haven't touched it since but yeah it was fun for the 60 or so hours I played it.

How are the controls in the Witcher 3? I'm thinking about blowing the rest of my steam sale budget on it...the controls in the second Witcher were really obnoxious for me, but a friend says the W3 controls are much better.

Just don't get Witcher 2 if you didn't like the controls for 1. They changed some stuff for the worse.

My brother was playing Until Dawn yesterday for ps4, it looked pretty awesome if anyone is in to that.

boutta start xcx

 

[The Gloaming]

Grabbed Just Cause 2 for under $3. Am enjoying flying around with a grappling hook and blowing up fuel stations in some Southeast Asian country.

 

[Raspewtin]

Lunar New Year steam sale, gents.

Gaming updates-

The Witcher 3 is phenomenal. Definitely one of the best games i've played in the past decade. Definitely play it if you haven't and like WRPGs.

I've been playing Undertale recently; if you like Earthbound, give it a shot. The aesthetic is very reminiscent of Mother 3, the music is great, and the combat is very unique depending on how you play.

Recently completed this as well. I'll go as far as to say that its the best game I've ever played.

Battle of Kaer Morhen was

Can't wait for the blood and wine expansion!
