Thought I'd palate cleans from the last locked up thread... YIKES! (at the person that made it). Anyways... playing my way through Mass Effect 3 in the re-released legendary. I FORGOT how great of a game the mass effect series is. You build on these characters that you grow to care about... decisions you make impact SO MUCH of the story and the ending you have access to.
A TON of realizations.. but two that stick out the most in my head.. AND.. TO BE CLEAR.. SPOILERS if you have NOT played it.. SPOILERS
1. Always viewed myself as a combatant.. a warrior.. weather it was on the mat for jits... in the ring boxing.. on the track running.. OR in actual combat during military service... BUT... due to this injury.. and my age... view myself more as a Hackett or Anderson... Front line combat.. the bravado that goes with it... viewing your body as the most important weapon vs your mind.. is a young man and woman's game. Interesting going into that phase off my life now.
2. Mordin... HE IS one of my favorite characters in the game... the choices I made had him sacrifice himself at Tachunka to cure the genophage he created... righting his wrong... the guy was talking about retirement... even at the end... and the recording he left. Just.. RIGH.. IN.. THE.. FEELS..
That's the mark of a great story.. whether it's one read in a book... watched on netflixed.. played in a game.. or lived yourself.. it's stories that move you.. that excite and engage you.. characters you care about and are compelling..
Well.. anyways.. hope that properly cleansed the palate.

I hadn't realized this thread existed! Hoo boy! I've been playing the original version of XIII. It is notable among first person shooters for having CGI that was done in a comic book style. Parts of the gameplay are infuriating, but it is a flawed gem nonetheless.

Forgot how FUCKING TERRIBLE the ending to Mass Effect 3 is.. HOT FUCKING GARBAGE!
HOW DARE YOU create such an immersive world with characters you make me care about SO DAMN MUCH that I get emotional when some of them die... main messages being about never giving up.. the strength of diversity... and the amazing things that can be accomplished when you invest in your team.. AND the impact and consequences of choices to only give us that PIECE OF BURNING SHIT PILE OF AN ENDING.. sorry.. just forgot how garbage the ending of 3 was. (1 and 2 were great ending). Game play of 3 was great with some amazing moments... just hot garbage ending.

Guilty Gear Strive! Love me some fighting games (though I don’t know if I’ve ever gotten good at one haha) and I’ve never played a Guilty Gear, so it’s certainly been a rough start haha

Put a solid 480 hours into Civilization VI during a gaming bender six months ago. Took me about 900 hours of single player play to realize people actually play it online, not just as single player. Great game to play especially as teamers, but surely will take a chunk of your evening if you do decide to start out a game. But competitive timer and early concedes keep the time manageable.

i play a lot of indie games and I am currently addicted to Despot's Game, a roguelike autobattler. its easy to play but has a lot of strategy which is what I look for because my fine motor skills are not what they used to be. also just bought the expansion for Kingdom Two Crowns which is a great indie game that only requires one button

I'm currently obsessed with Super Auto Pets which is a pretty adorable take on the auto chess genre. I like it more than auto chess games because you're not on a timer. I can take my time to come up with a strategy.

Just finished Halo Infinite campaign, highly recommend, the vehicles are a bit bouncy though but the game is epic and polished enough, great storyline too, they managed to bring back the old Halo vibes, glad they took their time.

The matrix unreal engine tech demo on next gen consoles is pretty damn incredible with how close we are getting to virtual reality and a live action scene co existing.

Oh yeah it’s real cool stuff haha. I just downloaded the Unreal 5 early access version, I’ve never touched Unreal before, and this seems like a fun time to start haha

Does anybody here play Gears of War on Xbox? I have loved and played every one of those games. I love the over-the-top steroid rage of the characters, and the brutal gore of a chainsaw bayonet. I love the art style and the concept of the humans being the invaders of an alien planet, instead of the other way around. I love everything about Gears of War!!!
Right now I am on Gears Tactics. It’s a tactics RPG same as something like X Com or Final Fantasy tactics. It’s awesome as hell! Definitely in my top 5 favorite tactics RPGs.
Anyways, if anyone plays Gears of War I would love to have a buddy to play co-op with online. I like to do hardcore mode and insanity mode. I’m looking for another replay of Gears 4. Let me know!

Never played Gears of War but have played through Gears of War Tactics and loved it. Deffo steals from X Com but my opinion does it better and much more enjoyable. Playing Skyrim and World of Tanks as well, WoT is getting a bit boring, needs more maps and as ive reached tier 10 with what I wanted. Play it more now if ive 30 mins to kill, its too much of a grind to be arsed getting more top tier tanks.

Anybody have a recommendation for a relaxed and happy game on PS4? I've got some time off and I want to dedicate some of it to some of it to something cute like, I dunno, feeding pink bunnies or something.
