Yeah Bioshock 1 was fucking rad.

Had a bit of frustration playing Primal. Died a few times when encountering dangerous shit like bears at night.
Realised the game wasntrying to firce me into making batter decisions so i played it safe and clained some campfires.
There are still some weird mechanics I don't get, like when youve rescued a group of people or relocated them, are you supposed to stick around and help because they generally get smashed as sson as you're done with the mission?

On the plus side, i had my first trip out spirittual sequence bonding with nature through hallucinogens. I gotta say it was a pretty fucking cool sequence.

Have you played any other Far Cry games? I've noticed that most people enjoy the first Far Cry game that that they play the most, then don't really care about the others.


I don't know if the newest PS4 update added new Particle Themes, but damn they look rad. Got this cool looking Black background with Cyan particles.

Cyan is always nice on black.
No, i havent had a go at any of the other Farcry titles and i had read that about them.
Basically, caveman battle simulation was what drew me to it, the others didnt have much appeal. But ive heard that if youre going to play one of them, this is the best to start with.

I was doing some cleaning and I saw that I have a ton of Wii/WiiU peripheras (controllers, etc) ... I really really hope the NS is updated to allow the use of the wiimotes/wiiu pro controller ...

Far Cry 2 sucks. Clear an outpost, enemies respawn. Random malaria fits, even if you are crossing a river or getting shot at. Just a bad game with potential that was better realized in Far Cry 3 which was a lot of fun. Blood Dragon was awesome too, and had a kickass soundtrack too, but really relied on you knowing the controls and how to play from FC3. I still haven't played Far Cry 4, sounds to be like more of what part 3 was.

Finished Horizon finally. Good fun, wouldn't mind replaying it again during the dry release months.



Randomly decided to replay MGS2 for some reason. Such a rad Soundtrack.

[MechaGodzilla]

Blood Dragon is the only FC I've played and I thought it had a nice tutorial to ease into it for newbs like myself.

Fukyeh mgs2, been thinking about it lately. Such a weird sense of humour in it.

Farcry 2 on xbox live with friends is one of my all- time best gaming memories. Single player did suck, but MP totally made up for it.

I was so, so bad with all of the weapons except the Carl Gustav launcher. Oh man. That and the uzi to finish people off? Yes. It was hilarious to chase someone down and rattle em to death in half a second.

And then the day that I figured out how to guide the missiles turned it into an absolute monster. You could miss a shot against some rooftop sniper and turn it right back around to blow his ass away. So good.

Yeah i played the Blood Dragon demo when i was playing 360.
Was pretty tad.
Michael Beihn rules hard.

Far Cry 1 was fun. Gave up on Far Cry 2. I wanna play Blood Dragon one day, but not interested in any of the other/newer ones.

Gee, Resident Evil Revelations being re-re-ported onto PS4.

It was a brilliant portable game, good console version. Capcom certainly knows how to milk their franchise, i'm part of the problem because i'm going to buy it again.

Still playing too much BOTW.

So gud.

[cherler]

The search function says there hasn't been a conversation about kerbal space program since 2012. Games fucking good.









Yeah that should get it started.

Still playing too much BOTW.

So gud.

I'm buying a Switch as soon as I finish Horizon Zero Dawn, or as soon as my ILF EU trip comes up, whichever is first. It looks so good, but I love Horizon too and I don't want to bite into both at once.
