Video Games

Anyone else a big gamer? I have an Xbox One and Xbox 360.

I still have Pong and Atari. I'm not joking, by the way. It's not like I have them hooked up, but I still have them. When my son was about 12, he begged me to hook up Atari. I kept telling him how simple and horrible the graphics were, but he was excited about seeing the old games. So I hooked it up and put in football. He stared at it for about 10 seconds and could only manage to say: "Yeah, that sucks!"

Seriously ... how can you not love this football game?? You can tell the team with the ball is the Steelers. No offensive line.

I have an XBox 360, PS3, and a WiiU. Though I don't really get on them much anymore. My son is on them more than I am. I do most of my gaming on the PC. I picked up Battlefield Hardline last week for the PC and I've enjoyed shooting faces on there. It's easy when you pretend that they are Ravens fans, especially @JonM229

I've always been more of a Call of Duty guy (even though I haven't picked up the new one since Ghosts let me down. my buddy swears by Battlefield but I just wouldn't feel right playing that over COD.

Currently I'm playing (when I ever get time):
Xbox One - Diablo 3, NBA2k15, Halo (patiently waiting for the new PGA Golf to come out)
Xbox 360 - NCAA Football 2014, Tiger Woods 14, Black Ops 2

I primarily play my PS4. GTA V, Advanced Warfare, etc...

@bayz101, how is the Advanced Warfare?

I played GTA on 360 so I couldn't justify getting it again

I like Call of Duty for the campaigns. I usually stayed away from the multiplayer for it on the consoles because it was filled with squeakers (pre-pubescent boys talking non-stop and calling everyone fags, etc.). Battlefield on the PC is generally full of more adults. You will have the occasional kid, but it is definitely more adults.

Ah but Lokki, that was half of the fun of playing multiplayer. I loved to get a few drinks in me an berate children and tell them how fun their mother's were the night before.

Why you dirty, no good, Primanti Bros sandwich eating son of a bitch.


I recently purchased a PS4 and have Shadow of Mordor, Far Cry 4, and The Last of Us.

It's pretty cool. I loved Black Ops and Black Ops 2 and Advanced Warfare is pretty solid.

SHiBBY927 on Xbox Live. I have the Xbox One currently and a few retro gaming systems. I have an original PS1, a PS2 Fat, and a PS2 Slim, an NES, and an original Xbox.

Dying Light
The Evil Within
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Killer Instinct
Sniper Elite III
Titanfall
Dead Rising 3

Iowa, what did you think of the Halo game? I bought it from day one so I've been through the ringer with the games not working and the updates. I think all of that tainted my view of the game and I really haven't picked it up since.

I had such high expectations for MCC. Halo 1, 2, 3, and 4 all on one disc... The ability to play the original multiplayer of Halo 1, and Halo 2 again.

343 dropped the ball, big time. Not only was it one of the buggiest messes I've ever seen at launch (and mind you I played Battlefield 4 on the Xbox One at launch), Halo 1 and Halo 2 classic multiplayer are freaking ports of the damn PC versions of the game rather than the Xbox versions which means they play, and feel really different from the original Xbox versions. I was hoping for a blast from the past, hooking up some system link, and playing actually classic Halo games with my friends. Instead I get the PC ports, which have absolutely atrocious hit detection, and a litany of connection issues.

All in all, it's still a lot of content, and it's gotten marginally better but 343 really needs to clean up their mess.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was completely disappointed. 3 of my friends got this game, excited to play through campaigns and do some multiplayer. Thanks to the disappointment, the all night Halo parties never materialized and Halo will have to stay a fond memory rather instead of a current activity. So sad.

I'm hoping future updates will make it a playable game. Honestly though, this trend of releasing broken ass games and then fixing them with updates a year down the road... It needs to stop. Battlefield 4 was a broken mess, Assassin's Creed Unity was a mess, now we have the Master Chief Collection.

Has anybody played that game Pong yet? Wow, is that shit cutting edge!

Ahhh OK. Now that makes sense. I used to watch buddies actually play Magic cards back in high school but I never really learned how to play myself.
