That's game of thrones for you. If you're talking the character I think you are that was so crazy!

I haven't, but I want to. Telltale is so freaking awesome right now.

I loved their The Walking Dead game... and I'm not even a fan of The Walking Dead.

It's got atmosphere that just sits on your head with how awful the situation is... first time I've ever been enthralled by a game where it was obvious, at least in story terms, that there was no "win".

Dude the walking dead game is great!!!!! I've never sat and thought about every choice in a game before(except mass effect). Have you played both seasons?

So far I've played the 1st season and the 400 Days DLC. Freaked me the heck out when I got the "Reunited" achievement...

Yeah that was a little jaw drop! 400 days was good. I had to replay it to get all the characters to come with.

Made a big push to get to level 100 tonight in WoW, since the anniversary event is ending and I was interested in running the Molten Core raid to get the Core Hound mount...

...and it turns out I'm 10 item levels short of the minimum average ilvl needed to queue for the dungeon.

I has a small sad. But c'est la vie... at least I've got a 100.

I got NHL 15 for the holidays on PS4, I really wish I hadn't though. After two years of working on it you'd think they would have come out with a better game. AI is so awful, it's almost unplayable, my teammates consistently leave guys wide open in the slot, which means that I either have to guard it myself, which then allows the computer to cycle easily and score almost at will, or pursue the puck carrier, which allows him to pass it to the always wide open man streaking in the slot for an easy goal. They also transition to defense whenever there's a lose puck, which means when you knock the puck off someone they back off and you end up not getting possession. The hitting is awful too, small guys hit you and you go flying. All things that will be worked on I'm sure.

It looks very nice though, the presentation is great, and I like the puck physics more, but they just really need to get the AI worked on. Plus they took out so many features, it's really an awful game. I may trade it in and pick up Madden, I haven't gotten it in a few years, but I always like having at least one sports game that I can just kind of pop in when I have 30 minutes or so and want to relax without needing to think too hard. NHL 15 is almost so bad it's not even fun to play. NHL 16 will hopefully be a huge step forward with a lot of these issues fixed, but this was a huge step back in almost every category other than visuals.

This games not out yet but Ive been waiting on it FOREVER it seems like. Dying Light its a zombie survival horror game it looks like its gonna be insanely awesome.

There's been a class action suit against Sony for the month long outage of its entertainment networks in 2011, and Sony has settled.

If you had a Playstation Network, Qriocity or Sony Online Entertainment account before May 11, 2011, you can apply to get various forms of settlement, even if you participated in the "Welcome Back Program" when PSN first came back up.

Go here for details: https://psnsoesettlement.com/mainpage/Home.aspx

I picked the original LittleBigPlanet for my settlement.

 

[RamsJunkie]

Going to pick up my copy of Dying Light tomorrow!

 

[RamsJunkie]

Probably go ahead and preorder the Order 1886 for febuary.

Both of these look really good.

 

[bluecoconuts]

I can't tell if I'm going to like the Order 1886 or not. Right now the game I'm mostly excited about is Uncharted 4, also I'm looking at Tom Clancy's Division and Rainbow Six: Seize closely, same with Star Wars Battlefront. I actually haven't played Uncharted yet, I wanted to pick up 3, but never did, but after playing Last of Us, I know I would enjoy Uncharted, and the gameplay looked amazing. It'll probably give a good preview of what the Last of Us 2 will play like.

 

[Boffo97]

I've been playing a lot of Prototype 2 lately after getting it from PlayStation Plus... awesome fun.

If Marvel had made a Venom game like this, they'd be swimming in money.

Well, I aced an exam, so I'll treat myself to finishing off the Dead Space trilogy.

The first, played during Snowpocolypse, scared the shit out of me. The 2nd, marginally less so. I hear the 3rd is more just a shooter. But I love a good shooter.

Anyone play emulators? I've been itching to fire up my PS2 emulator and play some Final Fantasy 12. I also need to finish my play through of Metroid Prime on the GameCube Emu.

Funny you say that I just decided to get into my back log and Dead Space is what I picked. Played the 1st 2 chapters and it is a lot more of an action game.
