The Video Game Thread

5 years ago I would have had a bunch of friends on Titanfall and playing the game would have been a big deal. Now I play those sort of games just often enough to get massacred and they're just not as fun.

I haven't really played online with friends for years, I usually pick up single player games or sports games now. The competitive multiplayer aspect just doesn't appeal to me anymore, though I did really get into ME3's multiplayer.

I tried online with GTA V for a bit but haven't really played anything else online. I figure that starting to try and start playing online without constantly getting slaughtered at the age of 35 just isn't going to work for me. I tried with whatever Modern Warfare game I have and after spending ten minutes getting my butt handed to me and never even being able to figure out where I got shot from that online combat just isn't for me.

I enjoyed the racing parts on GTA V and did well in those (always in the top 3 but normally top 2) but the first time I tried to do a death match or whatever they call it where you team up and try to get as many kills as you can, I got booted off as soon as I finally killed two people. It just said the other people kicked me out. It was fine while I was getting slaughtered but as soon as I figured something out I was gone. Screw that.

i do enjoy gta online, im up to level 120...but its gotten a tad stale. i dont mess with deathmatches, i usually do missions or golf...but ive done most missions over and over...just waiting for some new content,i.e. heists

i think im more or less done with the military FPS...i was ok at them but normally would get slaughtered and each game i've bought since MW2 is less fun. the only fps i like anymore is battlefield 1943 which is an arcade game and its very basic, reminds me of a fps on the 64 or gamecube or something. theres just not a lot of bs like in the new games...just 3 different classes to choose from, 3 maps and you play a version of domination basically. have at it.

I really wish it had a franchise mode ala baseball stars.

Ahhh....baseball stars was awesome. I'm trying to figure out in my head right now which one I liked better. Baseball Stars was definitely more sophisticated for its time, but I loved those little short, fat, midget like players....especially the ones that were fast as hell. Vince Coleman absolutely flew!
