Video game thread

So been a fan of video sports games since they started. Baseball has always been a fav and mlb the show my go to.

Anyway, took notice to how the crowds in the game reflect real life at CBP. During the run the place was packed, since then the crowd shots show less and less fans in the stands.


Oh and black ops III is sick.

i opted for Battlefront as my online shooter game instead of Black Ops.  I really like it.  There are some really good game modes.  I swore off COD after the last one because i don't play enough to be good and i hate getting owned by a punch of shtein talking punks.

I rarely play online anymore. Havent playes steady since the ps2 days. That said, my cousin and a couple friends have the same ps4 games so I might check it out again.

And battlefront is awesome.

i love playing online, i just hate hearing people talk.

Yeah I may check it out this weekend. Be fun to play friends again.

Man I remember the days before online play, bunch of guys drinking and betting on head to head games. Blades of Steel made me some coin.

Good thing I got the ps4 for the Lil guy at christmas because the ps3 just died after 12yrs. Now I have a bunch of games I need to get rid of.

Anyone paying any attention to the EVE war?  I don't know much but I think it's fascinating.

i got an xbox one recently. buddy at work gave me a bunch of games. holy shtein is there some dark farged up stuff out there now. played some game called Witcher...about an hour in there's a storyline about a woman who had a miscarriage and then since they didn't give the fetus a proper burial the fetus comes back as this monster called a botchling. then i have to kill it again.

Yeah, there's a lot of extreme gore in the mainstream games.

Not only have I not been paying attention to it, I don't even know what it is.

It's an online space RPG.  Battle ships, etc.   The scale is staggering.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_Online

They're having easily the largest pvp battle/war ever in online gaming at the moment, following several years of "peace."

I don't play this game but I don't think you have to play it to be agog at the phenomenon.

It sounds cooler than it is. Playing it is more like doing spreadsheets over a pretty background, but you get some amazing stories like this stuff.

They're coming out with an xboxone slim so the price of all xboxone consoles dropped $50. Aside from the odd game here and there I haven't played much over the past 2-3 years. Found a good bundle deal, 1 TB xboxone, a controller, and 5 games (Halo 5, new GOW, AC Unity, and two downloads) for $319. I figured what the hell.

Here's my question: I have a 65' inch samsung in my living room. All the cable stuff (boxes/wires etc) are ran into the wall, so all you see is the tv. There's an eye device that comes from the cable box that catches the signal. From what I understand the xboxone doesn't have the eye device, anyone have one behind a wall and does it pick up the signal? The wall isn't concrete or anything, just a slab of sheet rock.

Somebody done goofed and Fallout 4 was free for a little while on the xbox store.
