I know a guy at work who loves all of Bethesda's RPG's and has hundreds of hours in every single one, that kind of 'you can just gently caress around and do whatever' appeals to some people (a lot of people if sales figures are any indication) even if it's deep as a puddle on a dry spell.

I put like 80 hours into Oblivion but that's why I can't play any of the others now.

i put like 200 into it as a kid and never went into another oblivion gate after the first.

I put 120 hours into Skyrim and never came close to resolving a main quest. Same for FO3 too.

New Vegas though, 200 hours and I played everythiiiing.

I don't often reply to you, but I really, really like how you always ask everyone how they are doing and wish them well. Internet forums, especially game discussion ones, are often toxic and hostile places, and I think it does a lot to bring in some genuine courtesy and well-wishing. It brightens up the thread.

I just published part 7 of my LP and I'm feeling pretty good about how it's going and everything I've learned so far while doing it.

I didn't link my LP here, because there is a whole forum for these things and there's a thread in that forum for new LPs. I figure all of that exists to stop people from spamming the gen-chat thread with plugs for LPs. So this is the only time I'm gonna link it here, I promise. The thread is a graveyard. That's okay, I've got some viewers, and I'm having fun :)

I am glad that Doom turned out to be good for all of the people who were waiting for it to be released.

I am doing well. Looking at some dumb fanart, might play a video game, idk, just relaxing with my fiancee while we watch vids and stuff. Not much else going on atm

420 hours (seriously, not making some weed joke) of New Vegas to 100% everything across multiple playthroughs, 205 hours of ES5 to 100% it; had to force myself to get through Skyrim's quests or I'd have just given up out of boredom. Had to do the same with Fo3, which I don't have on Steam, so I've no clue how much time I spent on it.

Side question: I liked Saints Row 4 and Just Cause 2 and just generally running around and fulfilling open world objective and looking for collectibles, would dropping $15 for Prototype 1 and 2 be worth the cash? (Sale link)
If all you liked about them was running around and looking for collectibles, probably not so much, but in general I would say that if you liked Saints Row 4 you should like the Prototype games.

Also, it's really sad no other game has given you a score in terms of the billions of dollars in damage you are costing the US Government.

Uncharted 4 was a cool capstone to the series and probably the most gorgeous looking game I have ever played.

Just finished Peace Walker, thus finishing every game in the Legacy collection, minus the MSX games which I just watched LPs of and VR Missions. I liked all of them, though I would agree that MGS4 isn't as good as the rest. Most of the boss fights are good though besides Raging Raven, and the final battle itself was a lot of fun. MGS3 was easily my favorite of the lot, just top to bottom a super enjoyable experience in both story and gameplay.

I'm really looking forward to playing through the single player, since this seems like a common sentiment. I just have to play 3 first and also stop playing 4's multiplayer, which is surprisingly quite fun.

play 1 on piss easy. its kinda crappy and hasnt aged well even with the collection updates. 2 is amazing and 3 is good.

I'm really enjoying Uncharted 4. It's really, really, really pretty and a lot of fun. I'm also glad it doesn't seem to be quite as dark and somber as the trailers tried to make it seem. It's still very Uncharted.

Oh I played 1 and 2 already and concur with your assessment. 1 was ok but nothing special but I fell in love with 2 and it was that kind of situation where I wanted to talk about it with people and they were all "yeah it's great but that game out years ago."

Hah, yeah I was expecting it to be The Last of Us: Uncharted edition but it's very much not.
The marketing was fairly effective though because there were a couple of points where I was totally going 'oh poo poo noooo' when it came to certain characters, when I would have normally assumed everything was going to work out fine.

I like the expanded stealth, too. All it really took was giving the player the ability to mark enemies and then making it possible for them to lose track of you if you escape after being discovered and boom, stealth works. It's still no stealth game, but I've always felt like Nate would be more likely to sneak around whenever possible rather than go in guns blazing, so I like that I can play that way.

Give me your friend's BURGERS and SANDWICHES, I'll put out the fire.

Today was Gamestop's Lego Dimension day so I spent 30 dollars on 2 of the charecter packs and a 2 team pack.

I don't even own a copy of the game and figured I'd pick it up later in the year when it's on sale possibly cheaper and I have some more disposable money.
I got kind of interested in seeing what they looked like so I opened up Wonder Woman and looked at the instructions. It told me to follow the onscreen build instructions which I do not have.

Lego dimensions looks neat but also like lego it is way too expensive

Are you able to follow the instructions online like with a youtube vid?
