I’ve been playing it for a couple months now, easily one of my favorite games of all time

Dude I play it for a bit then stop and come back to it, but then the learning curve starts all over. With having kids I don't have the time to grind on it but it is pretty awesome.

I just got Far Cry 5 but I can’t stop playing Horizon

I am kind of stuck on horizon. I can't kill anything, it's annoying.

I got FC5 too, idk if it's just me but killing crazy rednecks is a pretty good time.

It looks cool...some of the tedious things in the past ones gets annoying. This one looked mayb a lil different? Story line looked good.

It's still Far Cry... I mean there's still outposts, but you don't have towers to climb anymore. There are some new and innovative changes, however my biggest peeve is they seem to be following the GTA "grind or use real money to buy in-game money" method. And if you prefer stealth that seems real non-existent, even with silencers these crackheads can still hear a shot from the woods at a quarter mile away. But overall it's fun.

My new favorite thing about the game is going fishing, it's such a relaxing mode that takes your mind off it being a FPS. They put a lot of work into it, you can switch up spots and try to catch harder fish which requires a little more skill. Also I'd be remiss if I didn't mention game still needs some work, it gets somewhat glitchy at times. Nothing game breaking so far though.

thanks, actually picked up ps4 recently...the main reason was Red Dead 2 coming out in Oct, my all time favorite game. Had to get ready. Ive played the past Far Cry on older system and those looked great.

I actually haven't bought any games yet...but battlefront2 is ordered now and is coming...


game nerds...any thoughts on best games for PS4? Looking for a solid strategy game, an open world game (I think Horizon was mentioned above and Far Cry will get sometime later)...suggestions? Also sports games...the obvious Madden is good?

Horizon Zero Dawn... just get it, I can’t recommend it enough

I’d also recommend Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1, and GTA V

Agreed on Horizon Zero Dawn. Stunning graphics and game play system (and story). I keep hearing it's a poor mans Witcher 3, so I got to get on that wagon at some point when I get free time.

Playing Fortnite on the side but keep getting owned by 11 year olds, so that sucks.

Cheers to that, RDR2 will probably be the next game I buy this year. As for FC5 I'd say it's def. better than 4 but not as good as 3, 3 being the best in the series. I didn't play Primal either so no idea on that.

Primal is ok but I got bored half way through and never finished it. I agree that 3 was the best, 4 just seemed like 3.5

Re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Far cry 3 is one of my all time fav...4 was tedious but ok...I thought the shangri-la tasks were the best part...pretty challenging in FC4. Never played primal.

And Matty I’ve heard titanfall 2 was worth gettin.

I’ve actually never played online against others...I might try that when I get a chance.

Re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Good luck playing online. My patience wore thin on GTA, too many hackers fucking everything up and when they aren't you will tire quickly of GTA's "grind or spend real money for fake in-game money" system. It had potential but R* went full EA mode with that one.

what about a first person shooter? Ive never really liked or played GTA.

But say like the titanfall or battlefront2 and this thing I keep hearing about fortnight? Is this fun at all?...is it basically like a survivor game or is it teams?

Re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Shooters are worth playing online if only because multiplayer is usually more fun than the single player campaigns... be prepared to get owned for a while though.

Titanfall 2 is actually fun online even for beginners as there are bots in the game in some modes so you’re not just playing against other people

Re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

what about downloading a game or buying the disk? one better? Used disks just look cheaper.

GOW rated MP?

just opened up the 2nd world portion of Horizon...these flying machines are a pain. Also had my first experience with a thunderjaw? Didn't go so well.

GOW is definitely MP...

I don’t think I’ve ever played two better games back to back than Horizon and GOW

Can someone explain to me what Fortnite is all about? It's the first time I've felt old when it comes to video games. I've watched clips of people playing it and I don't get it.

Sorry, last video game I played was pong.................

There are two different game modes, PvP and PvE. The one everyone is talking about is the PvP battle royale style looter shooter with building mechanics.

It's a free to play game that you essentially harvest materials to build structures (either for defense or attack), while you and 99 other people try to outlast each other.

The big kicker is that the map everyone lands on continues to shrink which eliminates the camper problem so many games have, and it forces navigating long stretches of the map forcing inevitable conflict. There is also no carry over, so once your dead, you can just boot back up and start a new game all over. That aspect makes it addicting as hell...

Re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

^ Think I may have to give it a try

Re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

i've been playing the a lot of nhl 18 and i still can't get enough.

friday the 13th is also hella fun for anyone who enjoyed any of those movies.

Re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Horizon was dope...the actual play control was stellar. visually stunning and storyline was cool. The open world game still has those things that get tedious...but overall 10/10.

PS4...I think this is the game system most have been waiting for when it just comes to strength and capacity.

Started Last of Us remastered...the first couple hours...I was like I don't know, lil slow and the control aspect is wonky. the challenge to reload and heal...aggravating. Now that I know how the game works, its awesome.

Re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
 

Yeah my only complaint about The Last of Us was the controls, but overall an amazing game. Can't wait for the next one.
