Why did we not have a general gaming question thread??? (IE: If people think a game is good or not?)

Is the 2013 Tomb Raider any good?

 

[AvecAloes]

^maybe you could make such a thread!

Is the 2013 Tomb Raider any good?

I really really liked the game. It was a lot of fun to play and had a good character development and an interesting plot. I think it was also quite scary, but not too scary, since I was able to complete it.

I'd definitely recommend it.

 

[Super Mario]

Pokemon Omega Ruby. Trying to update my DS without success so I can wondertrade 3 mons and possibly get my bank running to bring the other guys in.

Thanks for the rec! It was on Steam for $4 today!

Currently playing The Stanley Parable. Oh man... the meta 4th wall breaking on this one!

Games I got myself for Christmas (my bro got me Steam $$): Final Fantasy XIII (why do you need pre-rendered cut-scenes SE!?!?! ), The Stanley Parable and Tomb Raider (2013).

 

[Serah Farron]

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker when I'm not leveling up my spells in Secret of Mana. Captain Toad has proven to be very fun and addicting. Although recently it's got hard.
Still enjoyable though.

 

[Claymore]

Currently working my way through GTAV, Thief and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. And about to add Chrono Trigger to that list.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Super Mario All-Stars.

 

[Drax]

Still playing SSX between FFXIV. I haven't figured out how to buy equipment that has more specs and stats than what I currently have. Kinda random.

Spoiler: This song brings out my combos <3

I need to figure out how to change the soundtracks to stay on it

 

[Super Mario]

The Wolf Among Us. By god this game, it's pretty damn exciting and better than LA Noire!

 

[Blade]

Grrr... stupid Play Asia... why hasn't my import Gundam Breaker 2 come in the mail yet!?!?

I've taken a partiular liking to FTL this week, it's... interesting. Also aggravating because the final level / sector / boss is like over 9000 times as difficult as whatever's before it, grr. And the randomness factor means you can't end up there the way you'd prefer to.

FTL is amazing, and I can't sing it's praises enough (though I've tried to in this thread any chance that I get! )

At first I absolutely hated it for the rogue-like elements. The sheer frustration at losing crucial crew members, at alien spiders going on a killing spree, at ships that vastly overpowered my own, or being forced to choose between fuel or weapons .. with most choices down to the random roll of the Gods. But I soon realised that the source of my frustration was also my joy. It's exactly because each experience is a completely new throw of the dice that I was becoming so deeply involved in managing my crew, in making those careful choices and growing attached to them because I knew that death was around every corner.

I think it's a fantastic game. And with every new journey you take, the more tactics you build up and an awareness of the overall game world so that you can (attempt to) make better choices. The fact that the final boss is just so unfair if you're not prepared just makes those few victories even more sweet. Seriously, if anyone likes space sims, then don't let the randomness put you off. This game is worth the very small investment.

Did you get the Advanced Edition in the sale? The new systems, weapons and enemies are really cool and add even more layers to different strategies.

 

[Ⓐaron]

I've been playing Super Mario Bros. since I was four years old and I only just got the Koopa-on-a-staircase one-up trick to work. I never could figure out the exact right spacing before.

 

[Cthulhu]

FTL is amazing

Yes . I finally killed the boss the first time, using the Zoltan Cruiser with the cloak system (which is probably the best / only way to counter the boss' ultimate attacks, maybe if you have full shield and two Defense II drones)

I actually bought it in a previous sale, I think, . I do think I have the advanced edition, there's a switch I can toggle to activate it. I'm currently doing a playthrough with the Kestrel again, so far it looks promising - I have several weapons that go through shields to destroy said shields, and the Burst Laser II it gets by default is always good.

I'm currently working through my ever increasing back log, I'd like to get to 40 platinums before type-o is released. Far Cry 4 is at the top as I only need 2 more for that platinum, then their is AC Unity and Black Flag, I still have quite a bit to do on Unity but only need a few online trophies for Black Flag. PS3 wise I'm still working through my KHII.5 Proud run then getting psyched for the dreaded critical run before moving on to BBS.

That's just the top of the pile. I still have DA:I which I haven't even slotted in to my PS4 (haha phrasing, boom) as well as LittleBigPlanet and a fuck tonne more for my PS3.

I love/hate being a trophy bitch.

Oh and it seems people are back on FFXIV as well so no doubt I'll be back on that again soon.

 

[Super Mario]

Grinding like shit in Pokemon X and Omega Ruby to get back what I lost, and somehow I ended up with better shit.

 

[Keveh Kins]

GTA V Online, having a great session with these hilarious random Americans xD

 

[Kermitu Kleric Katie]

I've been playing Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Bayonetta on my Wii U, as well as Fire Emblem, which I bought off the eShop not too long ago, as well as Fire Emblem: the Sacred Stones, which my friend is letting me borrow as I've never played it before.

Hit me up anytime if you want a buddy. I've still got it for PS3.

 

[Super Mario]

Is there anyone out here who still plays Pokemon? I lost the friend code cos I had to reboot it to make my new account, I was playing my old X file on my cousin's account. I require them for friend safaris and to create a God Slayer.

 

[Cthulhu]

Still pwning at Titanfall. I wouldn't mind playing GTA Online sometime if people are online, just FYI.

 

[Ami]

You know where I am, Yop.

 

[Cthulhu]

Well yeah, but not when you play and shit, I'm no psychic
