What games are we playing, CF?

 

[MehGuy]

I was playing The Last Of Us bonus content earlier.

I love the original game. Very atmospheric, and I can't wait for the sequel on the Ps4.

I was going through Mega Man 8 on the ol' PlayStation 1 a little while ago. Brings back fond memories of getting it for Christmas at 13 years old. It was the only installment I know of in the entire franchise where Mega Man distinctly has the voice of a high-pitched little girl. At that time i was first trying to beat the game, his voice was cute enough to cause my mother to remark as she happened by me in the den that she'd love to have a little stuffed Mega Man doll with that voice. .... That, and Final Fantasy VII a few months earlier were my first two PSX games I ever owned. My parents were very kind to be willing to spend what was probably about 250 bucks to get the PSX system and accompanying FF7 game for me at all, much less as an early Christmas present. oh how the nostalgia is hitting me quite bittersweetly now, typing this.


.... Good on you for making this thread, Mojo. All this time I've been here I was too lazy to wander over to the section specifically for gamers and read through its threads enough to start posting regularly and making friends in that section as well. So thanks for bringing it here to my comfort zone, instead.

I use Wii Fit almost every day.

Does Wiifit actually work?

I'm not a super big fan of LoU. I have the PS4 HD version, but just couldn't really get into it.

AH, nice! I still have my PS1 sitting around somewhere; which reminds me I need to ask my sister to bring my Super Nintendo back since her kids don't play it.

Ah, no prob, brother. I tried to use the video game section of the forum when I joined last year, and there was just *no* activity.

I dropped over 20 lbs. a couple of years ago using it.

Why couldn't you get into it? I admit the game-play is not the greatest in the world, and the plot is kind of a rip-off of 28 Weeks Later but the in game cinematic are ingenious and the characters are quite interesting. I would say The Last Of Us is more of a videogame/movie hybrid experience.

That's cool. I tried it once and found is useless but if you're getting results then stick to it.

It is necessary to be careful about what games you use on that thing. Some are fun, but do almost nothing from a fitness standpoint.

It's been years since I used my Wii. I wonder if it still works anymore.

Lol.. eww..

I think it was the way the game "sprang" things on you for the sake of cinematics. It's like the game tells you that you can sneak, and let's you use your abilities to see if the things are nearby, then once you hit a certain point, the enemies automatically detect you for the sake of a chase sequence or something. And the shooting in the game is very wonky; I've got Uncharted two and three, and always thought they had some iffy shooting mechanics, but LoU made Uncharted look like COD in comparison. lol

Just finished Tales From The Borderlands episode 5. And Life Is Strange episode 5 as well.

 

[mojoboy31]

How were those?

 

[SeekerOfChrist94]

How were those?

Great. I prefer Tales from the Borderlands over Life Is Strange, though they're both different series themselves. I liked the former final episode better than the latter, personally. Tales is probably my most favorite game of the year.

 

[mojoboy31]

It's a Telltale Games production, right?

Yep it is. The choices actually matter in this one for once. It's the funniest game I've ever played.

there's a time limit on choices, right? That way you can't just google which choice for the best outcome.
