Off Topic · OT: Are you a gamer? (page 1)

I play ps3 exclusively. Anybody have or want the ps4 or xbox one?

I recently beat The Last of us, Black ops 1 & 2 and gta5...I play all 3 online sometimes.... I'm going to crack open Infamous and Resistance fall of man probably today or tomorrow.

Anything you guys really recommend playing? Any horrible games you recommend peeps stay away from?

I don't normally play much, but the Knicks performance this season and the poor state of the nba overall has driven me to playing GTA V instead of watching basketball. Once I've finished that I'm either getting Last of Us or am going to enroll in an art class.

Knicks suck right now that's why I started this.

I highly recommend The Last of us. It's one of the best games I ever played.

I play Tetris and Solitaire on my computer. Does that count?

Got the XBox One... but buying games for $60 seems odd these days. Waiting for the next Halo to come out. And whatever sequel there is to Geometry Wars.

Mostly playing The Pinball Arcade on iOS. Medieval Madness and Attack From Mars are the most fun you can have on a tablet, IMO.

Sadly, both are much more enjoyable and productive than watching the Knicks!

Used to be a big FPS gamer but I got sick of cheaters and glitchers a couple of years back. Also very little teamwork on open servers. Also EA sucks big time, they consistently rank as having the worst customer service in any industry. The others aren't that much better. I gave away my PS3, but down the road if you guys want to form a team and kick some virtual butt, I'm in.

Both The Last of Us and GTA5 are top 5 for games of the PS3/360 era. The only problem when playing them back to back is that the controls are so different you will make a ton of mistakes early on. The story of the last of us felt like I was playing a movie.

If you like tension in your games I would recommend you to play The Last of Us on normal until you get hang of the game controls and mechanics and then play the game on a little harder difficulty. I beat it on its hardest difficulty but it took a long time. It was extremely hard but I loved every minute of it. I would not recommend it if your normally not a very good gamer. You might get frustrated if things become too hard for you.

I play Xbox 360, a lot of FPS games but I really enjoy open world games like Skyrim and Fallout. I'm pretty good at Call of Duty and Halo but I get bored of them quickly. I also play nba 2k a lot but my defense is pretty bad because I love to gamble in passing lanes for easy transition dunks

I'm playing Infamous now.... the controls suck and I'm not really interested but everyone says it's awesome. I'm giving it a whirl

I retired in summer 2013

I "play" PS3 exclusively too... I played a ton of Skyrim and have meessed around with other titles - but nothing has drawn me in like that one.

I will try The Last of Us. Any other PS3 games people recommend? I am a big RPG and FPS fan

I posted about this a while back, VR headsets for gaming are finally becoming feasible.
Bought my Dad the preproduction version (still into tech at his age) and he said that its very immersive but it was only 720p and there were some pixelation issues. I'm waiting for the 1080p version which should be out in the next year or two. That will get me interested in gaming again.

Haven't been gaming for a couple of years but one of my favorite franchises was Motorstorm. Its an incredibly immersive experience when you play it on a big screen with the stereo turned up and now they're all under 20 bucks. You can get all three games for the price of a newer one now. BTW you can play in first person as well.

I have been gaming since the Sega Master System/original Nintendo and still love to play when I can.

PS3 was my favorite system of the last gen and the last of us was fantastic. I still have mine but have upgraded to a PS4 which I love so far.

I also had a 360 but sold it after I got my PS3. Both consoles are great, I just prefer Sony's exclusives.

Wii U is also fun if you like old Nintendo games and new Mario.

If a bunch of people get PS4 I would be down for an NBa2k14 league or tournament.

I just can't wrap my hands around the idea of a ps4. I will eventually get it but probably next year or maybe after that. I didn't jump in the ps3 bandwagon when it first came out. I actually bought my first console in September. I know it's odd that I waited that long especially when the 4 was coming out. I just don't see how these games can improve. There are some incredible ps3 games. Ive played with friends and family at their homes because I did not want to be sucked in. I'm married now and expecting a child so im going to be home so I might as well stay out of trouble lol.

The advantage of getting the ps3 so late is games like Resistance Fall of man is $2.99! That game was rated 9.5 when it came out. I played it years ago but now I'm going to sit and enjoy it for pennies lol. Anybody ever play it? It's was a launch game.

You will love The last of us....I couldn't put it down. The online mode is $10 but it's worth it. Love the game play.

I loved the black ops games. 1 & 2 were great. Part 2 actually has multiple endings depending on what you do when they give you choices in the game. I can't wait to get Ghost. I suck in online play but I still like to play sometimes especially with my son.

I am a HUGE gamer. showing my age but I have been gaming longer than some of you been alive ( 30 years). my first system was colecovision almost exactly 30 years ago on x-mas and never stopped since ( except after the video game crash in the mid 80's). i have a ps3 and xbox. love the ps3 more and the games that were mentioned, particularly gta5 and last of us are the best video games i have ever played. EVER! uncharted 3 is up there too. that is why i think ps3 is better than 360 ( though alan wake was awesome). i got the ps4 too but its a gift for my son for xmas so i wont know how good it is until then. also the person saying that infamous is meh should stick with it. towards the end, you are practically a god and you have real fun. makes you feel like you are definitely a superhero ( or villain).

Me too. My first system was a Sears Pong. I entered what I believe was the first large scale video game tournament in the country, in the mid 70s when I was in grammar school. Finished in 4th out of over a hundred people, all adults, and won an odyssey 200 system. We're a couple of OGs Jazz74, "Original Gamers"
