Video Game Thread

I haven’t played console, or really any, video games in 15 years and I’m suddenly fired up to do so.

So, recommendation for anyone looking for a fun game: Sleeping Dogs.

Sort of a GTA in Hong Kong, it has a fantastic story, great combat, and a killer voice cast (Tom Wilkinson, Lucy Liu, Robin Shou, James Hong, Emma freaking Stone). It’s legitimately one of the most enjoyable game experiences I’ve had - there’s a reason I’ve bought and played it twice on two consoles.

Next Generation Custom Processor: Xbox Series X is our most powerful console ever powered by our custom designed processor leveraging AMD’s latest Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architectures. Delivering four times the processing power of an Xbox One and enabling developers to leverage 12 TFLOPS of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) performance – twice that of an Xbox One X and more than eight times the original Xbox One. Xbox Series X delivers a true generational leap in processing and graphics power with cutting edge techniques resulting in higher framerates, larger, more sophisticated game worlds, and an immersive experience unlike anything seen in console gaming.

That is off their initial release and I am with you. Super excited.

Never even heard of this! Have to look it up now.

It’s worth it.

That looks like GTA except you get in less trouble for beating the pants off all the people on the street :sweat_smile:

I mean, there are cops that interfere, but they aren’t as psychopathic or blood-in-the-water relentless as GTA cops.

Coming out Friday…

If anyone is thinking of a new FPS to pick up, during these trying times, Doom Eternal is amazing. Fun as hell.

I got the Master Chief Suite. Starting at the beginning and running through it!

The free May PS Plus games they announced today were…less than exciting. Farm Simulator 19 and Cities: Skylines

Best game ever made. periodt.

Ahem. I believe you mean Roller Coaster Tycoon 2.

Wildly excited for this! A lot of the “leaks” were off, but this looks fantastic.

The developer commentary was pretty interesting. Did you watch it?

Yes. I can’t put into words how hyped I am. I 100%'d Odyssey (including ALL DLC) so I am hungry for new Assassin’s Creed. That it’s Vikings is just…cherry on top.

Anybody hopped on Last of Us 2 yet? Starting that this evening probably.

Heard rumblings that the storytelling was underwhelming, which would bum me out if true because the voice acting and storytelling of the first was an all timer for me.

I haven’t played those games, but I heard the 2nd one wasn’t as good as the first.

I just finished Resident Evil 3 Remake for the fourth time.
