Bigred's Video Game Thread

[rong]

I went to finish Skyrim this weekend because I thought I'd left it unfinished, then realised I actually had finished, just a bunch of side quests left. I really enjoyed it, but it didn't grab me like some people. I think I get bogged down in stuff rather than just enjoying the experience.

I'm working through Dragon Age: Inquisition atm. It's taken way longer than expected, because I loved the first two in the series, and had real trouble getting into this one. I started off being really pedantic about doing stuff and just got bored, but if I just go with the flow and do whatever takes my interest it's much more enjoyable. There feels like times you just need to grind a bit to get to the next stage which gets old, but once I'm back on the main storyline stuff it's just awesome.

I never played the Fallout games before. Lots of people have suggested I should though. It sounds like the kind of game you really immerse yourself in, and I just don't have that time atm.

Witcher 3 is on my list. Again, lots of people who like the same kinds of games I do have said it's their favorite RPG ever, yet on the other hand my cousin who I share a lot of games with, and we've always loved the same ones has had trouble getting into it. Maybe again it's one you really need to sit down and immerse yourself in for longer periods rather than just play here and there in spare time.

Beyond a spell in prison I don't see myself ever having that much free time on my hands. Unless I can somehow bring an xbox to work.

Things haven't really worked out that well for frank underwood.

Yeah. Obv. attempt at humor kind of failed.

Funniest thing about it is that I laughed at the lazy number thing about 6 or 7 times before I could even tell you that the number is roughly 2 trillion.

Yeah it's not like he was fucking President or anything.

Hence why I haven't bought it yet. I love the idea of solid gaming like that, but other than the odd weekend when I'm home alone I can't remember the last time I put serious time into a game. Every now and then I get drawn back into an MMO, but it's always short lived. I just don't have the time to commit to that kind of stuff anymore.
