I'm really excited about what Nintendo is going to do, this could be a huge E3 for them if they play their cards right. I'm also excited to see what PC games will be there, I wish the PC would get it's own press conference. They need a Valve/Steam press conference that would be awesome IMO.

GTA5 is coming out for Xbox One, PS4, aaaaaannnnnd wait for it........ PC! haha..

maybe we get some mods for simulation and ragdoll physics. If someone could reverse engineer the game and put the Forza 5 driving physics engine in the game, that would be sweet.

Divinity Original Sin will be on sale for another 11 hours or so. The regular price is 39.99 but it is on sale for 31.99 and the game will officially be released on the 30th of June. This by all accounts is looking to be one of the better if not best RPGs of the year. If you are a fan of the Divinity series or even the Baldurs Gate series or Ultima Series do yourself a favor and check this out.

This is a joke isn't it?

Meanwhile I bought a game on the steam sale called "brothers a tale of 2 sons" for 5 bucks and can honestly say its the best pc title ive played in a while.
Save 60% on Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/225080/)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awYj_5FS6cU

The game is basically in a nutshell 2 brothers on a quest to find a cure for their dying family member. You will however need a controller to play this as each joystick on the controller will control one brother. It is a puzzle/platformer as well as an adventure.
Pick this up while its still on the sale and you will thank me later.

I think it's a serious game. They even hinted at multi-player. Perhaps the people that are making it are creating it with a spoof in mind, buy you'll actually be able to buy it.

Tastes differ. I bought and enjoyed Civ 5 at launch, though it's possible my history with the franchise made me view it through rose-colored glasses.

If what you bought includes the two expansions, it has definitely matured a bit in terms of bringing in historical gameplay elements that got dropped for the initial release.

The last 2 expansions Gods and Kings and Brave New world have really made it into a great title. That and it has steam workshop which enables you to dl mods at the click of your mouse.

just some updates on some games i have played the last 6 months or so

Destiny - i expected more from the creators of CoD and Halo, esp when it comes to story, which there was virtually none. Gameplay was fun, but got really repeatative, esp when doing repeat challenges and such. It seemed like they just made a shell of a game to showcase what they can do. very disappointing. I put about 30+ hours into it before i sold it on amazon.

shadow of mordor - not a game i would usually find myself playing but after destiny i was looking for a change of pace. I really enjoyed it. it was like a mix of batman games and assassins creed. had a pretty decent story that kept my attention. put around 30 hours into it as well

I am currently playing evil within. I find myself only playing it a little bit at a time due to it being stressful and nerve racking. graphics and gameplay are all top notch. the story is nice although i have no idea what the hell is really going on because I dont know whats real or not. but worth a play if you like scary games. makes me look forward to the new silent hill

Warlords coming out in 2 weeks has a lot of people back in WOW right now. I resubbed a couple months back...granted I was only gone for maybe 4 or 5 months - been playing since BC came out many years back. Wasn't happy with the Pandaria expansion, but the changes in Warlords at least to be positive and I'm actually somewhat excited again. It'll be hard for me to the leave the game completely though since I've been playing in the universe since the original Orcs vs. Humans (Warcraft I) game 18 years ago or so.

I'll be playing that, but it was a bit of a toss up between hitting it or Dragon Age Inquisition first. WoW won because of some limited time events that'll only be available during the 10th anniversary celebration. I imagine I'll get to DAI over the Christmas break if not before then.

I'm really hoping for/looking forward to Fallout Boston. Unfortunately it'll probably be a ways past even that before we get another Elder Scrolls game.

I'm in the same boat. So many friends are back for WoD, that WOW won out over DAI for now. Also the 10th Anniversary events including Level 100 MC is going to be interesting. I'll pick it up probably once the price drops which won't take long.

How are the numbers on WoW these days? I remember when they had that consistent 10 million a month.

I just wonder how long these expansions keep people interested. I know they scrapped Project Titan so I wonder what they will do next when it comes to WoW.

David

It's like 7 million-ish these days. Down from the glory days but still fairly impressive.

Did you see the Overwatch announcement from this year's Blizzcon? The cinematic trailer for it was a lot of fun:

It's looking like Project Titan is turning into Overwatch which David just posted about. I've read things on Reddit/NeoGaf from people that saw Titan in it's early stages and say it looks exactly what Overwatch is today. Titan was supposed to be an MMOFPS so they could have just stripped the MMO part out of it and made it an Arena Shooter.

In an interview at Blizzcon (I'll try and find it) the lead game designer mentioned that he doesn't see an end to WoW in the near future and as long as people are still playing they don't plan on stopping.

It was hilariously stupid some of the stuff you could do with friends in that mod. You could spawn any vehicle you wanted and just wreak havoc on other players. Most people stayed around the airport though, they also had boat races and car races which were pretty fun. I don't think a realism mod would work well with a game like JC2.

I really need to start playing HotS. Right now all my time is in Hearthstone, WOW, and Starcraft. I never thought I would like card games, but Hearthstone has really made me enjoy them now.

As far as WOW's future, they doubled the developer staff last year which caused MoP to just drag out as training and getting everyone up to speed took over. With WoD it seems to be a throw back to the old days. Everyone knows another Burning Legion expansion is coming, but it is unknown how far away. I would guess it will be here after WoD but it won't be Sargeras yet. I would imagine he will be the absolutely final boss and will wait until we've already gone to Argus to try to take him on. Azshara came back for a small bit on Cata, so I would imagine she'll be in play soon with maybe a South Seas expansion or patch.

20 minutes to go until Warlords releases on WOW...I think people are ready. Keep in mind, that WOW limits how many players are viewable at a time. There are probably a good 500-600 people at the Dark Portal on my server ready to go through.

I actually regretted getting the xbox one until now (Halo:MCC). I only used it once since I got it last year and only played AC: Black Flag on it. I have used PS4 for everything else. XB1 seemed to be more entertainment based as PS4 was more gamer based. Graphics better on PS4 too IMO

Yeah exactly. They are down to just over 7 million right now but it seems to have leveled off at this point. From my perspective for the first day of questing and such, I am enjoying Draenor. The opening set of quests are done pretty well getting everyone introduced with the warlords and the new features. The garrison idea seems to be a good balance between player housing and companion system found in SWTOR. Now to get back to leveling. lol

I wouldn't say it's ****ty hardware. It's currently the only console that is putting out consistent 1080p/60FPS games right now. I have a WiiU and love it, every single first party game Ninty comes out with is worth buying the console for whether it's Pikmin, Mario, Mario Kart, Smash, or even second party games like Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101.

I will admit I am a die hard PC fan boy, in my opinion you don't need anything other than a PC and Nintendo's console that is out at that time.

Oh no I had a Queue yesterday in the 5000's, I actually didn't play at all yesterday, so went to bed early decided to get up really early this morning and this was taken at 4:30 am... I did get a good 2 hours of gametime before the servers went down so it's not too bad.
