I am trying to remember the last FPS I finished and I actually can't think of anything past Halo 2.

I get bored about 2 hours into the campaigns in most FPS games. Thankfully the campaigns are always short so I don't have to plod through a whole lot more.

Yeah I have played a few others after Halo 2 but I always quit after a couple hours. I think the last FPS I actually played at all was Killzone 2 though, have kinda just given up on the genre since then.

I should probably finish Bioshock just for the story but ugh.
 
holy crap, what do you play? its amazing you have avoided that many FPS games over the years

MMOs,RPGs

single player stuff like GTA, LA Noire, RDR

3rd person shooters, Uncharted etc.

Gonna be playing Diablo 3 with GAF now.

I think I encountered too many pricks playing TeamFortress to play FPS online way back lol.

I've only ever played Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. :p

Perfect Dark (N64) and the Destiny beta. Couple of hours of Halo.

pretty much all my favourite shooters.

I wish I could play Infinite with fresh eyes. Don't ever play the DLC.

I've long burned on FPS for a few years now. I was playing Crysis 2 a while back on my PC and just stopped halfway because I just got bored. I tried playing the BF4 SP due to the free week, but damn it felt completely sterile to me. Only ones that were fun to me were the full mil-sims. Other than that I can't do the standard anymore.


Borderlands 2 did hook me though, mainly because of loot.

I lost the desire to play games late last year. I was having a really bad November and December last year. Not even gaming was desirable. I think it was a mixture of being burnt out and just being incredibly depressed about everything

I bought most of the big games from the fall (COD: Ghosts, ACIV: Black Flag, Batman: Arkham Origins) and barely touched any of them. I actually traded in COD and Batman after briefly playing both.

It took me a while to get through them, but I finally finished those three games. I just finished ACIV last night on PS4. I forgot how much I enjoyed the Assassin's Creed series. But I still don't give too big a shit about the naval battles.

last time I really enjoyed playing a game so much I couldnt stop was Bioshock Infinite, played it for 9 hours straight.

and The Last Of Us for reasons.

You are dead to me! Love the ship battles and sailing the seas with the shanties on deck.

I am actually the opposite for AC IV, loved the pirate aspect but hated the assassins missions.
EAVESDROP EAVESDROP EAVESDROP EAVESDROP

I wished the story was more contained within
Nassau and it's arc as a free land among the encroaching British Empire
than chasing around the Templar for reasons.

i bought the sword art online vita game but i recently became hooked on persona 4 golden

dominos pizza doesnt deliver to my new place

why

I wanna be all "yeah whyyyy are you going dominos" but I remember Dominos in Canada being way more advanced than the frozen mini-pan shit we get here. It was actually pretty decent.

But yeah, always go local when possible. SUPPORT YA MAWM AND PAWP!

google maps puts my new place 32 minutes away from my local store with no traffic
 
if you have a ps4 i think we can do that game sharing thing and you can try it out for me

is that how the feature even works?

Yeah I think so. It's limited to an hour a day or something like that.

I'm getting a PS4 soon but you can add me if u want.

I fucking hated eavesdropping.

I played the bonus Aveline missions, too. It wasn't great.

I posted earlier about being burnt out on gaming, and ACIV brought me back to getting hyped for AC Unity and Rogue. I'm thinking about pre-ordering Rogue, but I might hold off in case they release it eventually for PS4.

I'm also thinking about getting Liberation HD on PS3. Played a bit of the Vita version, but the controls were a bit frustrating.

I don't even mind I got dumped today, all it took was alcohol and stripppers.

Lessons for NHL-GAF. Don't get too attached to the opposite sex. You won't get those highs but at least you'll avoid those lows. It's how ol' RC/Desi runs the show.

Only way I roll now, bro.

Now get Tinder. Again.

TUSR, when are you coming to town? We gotta get the gang together. And by gang I mostly mean those that came to the last meetup while Tabris pretends to be busy while living a block away.

Already back on Tinder my Euro-brother. Getting matches and hopefully come the weekend, smashing asses.

that's the spirit my man. You still just looking for the tatted ones with daddy issues?
 
I make a post about saying I only touch Be A GM, and concluded that I'll buy it anyway, implying that it surely won't be gimped anyway and then I see that post.

That thread also gave me an idea for an OT. Oh man.

Welp, Be A GM is the mode I put most of my time into since I love to manage my team and trade Cleary as the first thing I do. Now that they have it gimped there is no point in me even considering getting it on Day 1, maybe down the line when it's a little cheaper, or wait until NHL16 comes out to see if it isn't as gimped as this version.

Not getting this piece of shit. Madden + Halo = all my hours anyway
 
I played a ton of each one. All those sweet custom objects and mods.

It sounds like the roster management aspect of the mode is there but they chopped out some of the half-assed attempts at "depth" that they've included in the past. I imagine that whole system of earning points and then using them to level up your amateur scouting/medical staff/etc. is gone. It was shallow and poorly implemented (there are fucking typos in the upgrade descriptions for gods sake) and I imagine they wanted to overhaul the scouting system anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if scouting is completely absent at launch and you just use a predetermined scout ranking list whenever the draft rolls around.

I can still trade Cleary!!! :D

I need to see exactly what they did to BAGM before I even consider buying NHL 15 at all, let alone for full price. I wanted an overhaul of that mode with bug fixes. Now they're removing shit? Some parts are broken/unimportant, but I feel like most aspects only needed a little TLC and not the axe...

Local playoff mode gone too?

Only cool part is not feeling a need to rush a PS4 purchase. 27" IPS and another PC upgrade for upcoming titles will do it. Maybe get an android tablet so I can give this iPad to my gf and finally terminate my Apple experimenting. Fuck Apple, and fuck EA too!

It's weird that both last gen and current game mode spec sheets don't list Season Mode, Playoff Mode, or Shootout Mode. I can't imagine them taking those out of the last gen version as they probably didn't even need to touch them. I know there's no Winter Classic in the current gen as they've stated that a few months ago, but it is in the last gen, yet it's not listed either. Guessing they only bothered to list modes people actually play and spend their time in. I play Season Mode exclusively once the real season starts. I want full control of the rosters so I can make the real trades/signings as they happen.

SAO is great, if you remotely enjoyed the first arc of S1 you'll like it.

Gorges was a rocket too.

He lives down the road from my parents too.

I was thinking end of month for a break, can we invite Bish?

I'm back on Tinder too. Got 4 things lined up in the next 2 weeks, starting on Friday.

Making plans 2 weeks in advance, holy crap. You're in.

Dang, that probably stings for you whenever a Wings trade is announced since it makes your team worse...

As someone who can't exactly make use of it, I look at Tinder in much the same way I imagine previous generations would look at our modern external hard drives filled to the brim with 1080p porn when all they have is beat up old magazines.

In one of the most productive off-season moves for the team I have picked my "JETS LOSE" gif for the upcoming season. Probably going to get some work.

The past few seasons, yep. I was so OCD about roster control, that back in NHL 12, I burned the fucking bottom EA Sports ticker UI into my plasma cause I had the front end loaded for so long every night. I would set up every single teams line up for every single game played the night before and sim them, then actually play the Wings games. The worst was when players from the KHL or college would get signed, cause they weren't in the game and you can't create players during Season Mode so I would have to choose some scrub CHL'er to represent that player. So yes, I am crazy and have no life.
