Tomorrow I do my 24-hour straight gaming marathon for Extra Life's fundraiser.

 

Got both seasons of Walking Dead for PS4 (already played them on PS3, but easy trophies hey) and Shadows of Mordor brand new as well.

 

If I get bored I'll fire up some TLOU multiplayer or NHL15.

Randal's Monday

 

 

i am a point and click adventure fan and when i saw it meantioned in one of the articles on xmas game shopping here at neowin i though i would give it a go.

it is brutal, i mean it funny and has tons of references to other games/ movies and such... and it got drinking/puking/crude humor.

i wish something like that was available when i was in college years and years ago.   i would have loved it and played it with friends, to solve the puzzles. 

 

now i am on day 3 of 7 and i think i am just going to quit it.  taking way to much time, with little reward.    first 2 days were pretty good though, but i don't have the time to click everything and use everything on everything. and reading hints is not hints, it is a walk-though.

 

not a bad game, some geniuine laughs, if you used to be a slacker video gamer drinking and trying to act cool in college  (like i was :blush: )

i am going to replay portal 2.  what a great game. and last time i had to resort to guide to get me though some tough spots.  this time i am going blind.  long enough time went by, for the game to feel reasonably fresh again!

 

 

 

I'm not really a gamer anymore tho. I do other web based things.

people game for fun.    what other web based things you do for fun?   :shifty:

Currently:

 

Skyrim(on and off, few quests a week)

F1 2014

AND I just bought GTA IV for PC to rekindle the love in preparation for GTA V coming out on PC. :)

 

I have been a bit addicted to TV series and movies lately after work so haven't gamed much. That may change as I have second GFX card on the way this week for the fun.

AND I just bought GTA IV for PC to rekindle the love in preparation for GTA V coming out on PC. :)

 

ggghhh,     i disliked GTA IV a lot, what a disappointment.   looking forward to GTA V though,  as it looks more like GTA III Vice City and San Andreas...  both amazing games.

 

i heard some extra expansion packs for GTA IV were better, but i got the original on day 1, and after giving it a fair go of about 10 hours, i did not like it.    for many reasons. 

watching the GTA V gameplay on PS3,  i am feeling that GTA V has corrected those mistakes and it look fun again!

 

 

 

Sleeping Dogs definitive edition is a brilliant game, and it was the game I loved to play way better then GTA IV.  Cars, open world, missions, story....  everything was better in Sleeping Dogs!

In fact it was Sleeping Dogs, that took the GTA formula and improved it in the way I wanted.    

So I will just pretend Sleeping Dogs was GTA IV and then comes the GTA V.  ;)

people game for fun.    what other web based things you do for fun?   :shifty:

I code for people (Sort of a beginner at it tho)

Myself and some friends had a server hosting company for a while.

I also set Vps servers up for people who don't know what there doing.

And more. that's just some of the web based things I get up to.

 

But as I said when I do decide to get on a game its CS:GO

What issues did you find in GTA IV? And I will look into Sleeping dogs a bit more, a few of my colleagues say its very good :)

i can't remember all of them, but the atmosphere was not right,  the missions were less fun,  there were less random missions (like remote helicopter), the setting was off....

 

not sure really.    the GTA III games (well, the original was ok,  but the 2 - vice city and san andreas)  were so much fun!    after 10 hours in GTA IV, i did not feel much fun.

 

 

original Mafia game was amazing too (another game similar to gta)     mafia II was crap though...

different gameplay.. well not crap, it was still ok, but after setting your expectation by the game you love.. it was not as fun.

And recently finished Witcher 2. What a fun game, looking to play it again following the elves history.

 

 

Elves side is way better.      I played it first.     I did recently replay the game to see the Roche's side.  It was good, but I did enjoy the elves better. 

 

Have fun.  But give it a while before replay. It's better that way. Replay it just before Witcher 3.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
