Video game thread. Huzzah!

I TOTALLY WANT TO SPEND HOURS PLAYING THAT FORKLIFT GAME.

I still have some odds and ends on GTAV. My backlog consists of Assassins Creed IV, Farcry 3, God of War 3, the rest of Heavy Rain, and Dishonored. Any suggestions on where to start first?

Also, has anyone played the Bioshock Infinite dlc?

[futuresailors]

Dishonored is really good and really short, so maybe there?

How far are you in Heavy Rain? Really enjoyed that game!

Still have to play Assassin's Creed 4 as well. Played Thief for a while the other day and I'm liking it so far. Just finished the Last of Us DLC and it definitely didn't go the way I thought it would but it was still enjoyable. The ending was pretty much what anyone who had finished the game would think it should be.

I got a few missions into Dishonored, but deleted my data. I may give it another go and speed run the first couple of levels.

I got like half way through Heavy Rain before the baby was born. Then I didn't have time to play, and once I did I had GTAV waiting on me I really liked what I played so far, and would like to see how it all ends.

This. It's super awesome but sadly too short. They obviously put a lot of care and attention in that game, but the full retail price is hard to push when games like Elder Scrolls and GTA give you 100's of hours of content for the same price.

[dub]

Yeah, but they're outliers. That's more an argument to never pay retail for anything else!
Which you shouldn't, because games are overpriced.

I think I enjoyed the dlc for Dishonoured even more than the base game. Finally got around to playing it last week warming up for Thief. Which is kind of boring me. So I'm gonna go back and start a high chaos murder run. I've been doing some ini tweaks and the game looks even more gorgeous than I remember, wish it didn't have the crap console size textures, but the art style hides it well.

haha your risk was worth it! I'm looking forward the most to those 2 games too! Especially Dark Souls 2.. the Souls series hath officially blown me away over the last 2 years, I think they're the coolest and most badass action RPGs ever. And I love survival horror too, the tougher and scarier the better.. gonna be a great year for watching video games on YouTube!

Been watching the new South Park game, it's really funny and well done.. looks and feels EXACTLY like an episode of the show in real time, really neat.

There's already a few guys playing DSII on Twitch and YouTube, watched lots on the weekend, enjoyed it very much! Looks fantastic, the world is really cool and interesting and seems huge already, seen a few cool boss fights too, not much for weapons and spells and gear yet but a little bit. So far, seems really really good.. I really really wish I was playing and not just spectating haha!

[leaves turn]

I'm going to attempt to stay clean and spoiler-free until it drops on Steam. Might even take an internet sabbatical... could do me some good.

Watched Lobos play DSII all night on Twitch, what a blast! Dude owns at the game, beat 9 bosses already, and he's still playing haha. Frig video games are cool!

[AngryGoldfish]

Has he recorded any content and posted it to Youtube? I'd love to check it out.

[Ryan]

Not yet, Danny, but he usually puts his good streams on YouTube. Here's his Twitch channel, http://www.twitch.tv/lobosjr, bet he'll have footage uploaded soon. He's on another boss right now, bet he's gonna beat the game tonight and then spend the next year doing crazy challenge runs.

[AngryGoldfish]

Man, that's insane. Beating that game is such a short time, he must be pretty wicked at it. I love watching pros play. Thanks for the link!
