We have our first child on the way and I'm taking some time off work to be home. I'm sure there's going to be some time to kill, so I'm looking for some ideas on games. Not really interested in the latest and greatest, more some older classics I can get from the sale rack at Walmart for $25.

I am playing Diablo 3 right now which I really like, and got 1/3 through Fallout 4 which was kind of boring. I like games with a good storyline, couldn't care less about online play.

Also love racing games, again if they have a good storyline (part of the reason MXGP 3 was disappointing).

Let me know what you guys think I should go after!

Thanks

PS4...

Last of Us if you haven't already. amazing story, probably one of the best stories in any game i've ever played. the second part is coming out soon.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming in 16 days

Mad Max is fun as hell, so much to do. story is kinda meh but the gameplay is great

GTA5 is a must

Borderlands is great, BL1 was sick, BL2 was just OK, Handsome Jack is awesome

there is a spin-off game called Tales From The Borderlands, highly recommend them, 100% story driven

Spiderman PS4 is supposed to be awesome

Detroit Almost Human has a great story

Witcher 3 is badass

Tomb Raider is bitchin too, i haven't played the newest one yet

Heard that game was awesome. I'm an xbox only gamer but considered getting a PS just for that game.

Thoughts?

while the game is awesome, to buy a PS4 only for Detroit wouldn't be a wise choice. Detroit is about the story, not so much about the game-play. meaning the gameplay is very basic.

now if you were going to get Last Of Us, Detroit, Spiderman, God of War, and Last Of Us 2, then hell yeah do it. they've got some great exclusive titles.

only thing i wish PS did that Xbox does is backward compatibility on older games.

PlayStation Now allows you to stream/play older games. I signed up for the free trial a while back and it works great.

Hahahaha I am surprised it took so long for someone to call that out. Maybe I'll rephrase and say there's going to be some sleepless nights to kill.

Was going to include it but since the 2nd is so close to being released I didn't include it. RDR2 is basically a prequel.

OP, if you want to play Red Dead Redemption you can find it on the PlayStation store as a digital download. Totally worth buying in my opinion. The 2nd one builds on it so should be even more amazing.

Won't regret buying it. Great story.

The reason you won't be sleeping is because you'll be feeding a baby, not because you couldn't sleep. ? get some rest RIGHT NOW. You'll need it!
Congratulations and good luck.

That whole series is awesome. Sort of like the National Treasure movies on steroids lol.

RDR2 comes out Friday and I just received Assassin's Creed Odyssey last Friday. Have yet to play it so that's what I'll be doing today.

Is there any Dark Souls / Bloodborne fans here?

I think I might be the only one on this forum who loves those games, I can't remember seeing them mentioned before.

I play Bloodborne. I suck and have only just managed to get a grip on the Blood Staved Beast. Was killed by vicar Amelia 100x first before I decided to go looking for something else to kill in the meantime. As much as I rage quit each time, I always want to go back for more. I never thought I would say it, but love the game. Have you seen the trailer for what seems to be the sequal?

you'll have to share your thoughts.

i absolutely loved Black Flag but couldn't get into any of the others after. i've heard Odyssey is even better than Black Flag so i've been wanting to play it, but i didn't want to start one before RDR2.

I still haven't played it yet but one of the reason I bought it is because you can choose to play as a man or a women. Then there's also the fact that this is the first one in the series where you have the option to select answers when you interact with people in the open world. I believe the story plays differently depending on your answers.

I think it's going to be really good. The reviews I've seen have it rated pretty high (8+, 10/10, etc.) I don't really care about the reviews but from my experience after playing games my thoughts are pretty much the same thing as them.

I know you liked Assassin's Creed Black Flag because of the naval warfare so when you have the chance look up Skull and Bones. The game comes out next year and naval warfare is a big part of it since the game has to do with pirates. From the little I've seen, it looks good. I'll definitely be getting that one when the time comes.

Yeah Iv'e had plenty of those rage moments too! Bloodborne is pretty harsh imo. The DS games are a lot slower and less aggressive than BB. Iv'e completed it before though and doing a 2nd run now, though I'll be putting it on hold for RDR2 if it arrives on time hopefully Woohoo . I actually find BB gets easier in some ways the further in you go - the early stages/bosses of BB are especially tough. Huge fan of all their games though. I love the level layouts especially, how everything interconnects in interesting ways.

The new game also looks interesting, new movement mechanics etc. I should imagine it'll be awesome - probably end up being a must-have for me. Also getting excited for the next Metro game!

Have you completed BB? I think I may have leveled up wrong, not knowing how the system worked initially. Now I may be stuck grinding to level up, get firepaper etc. Also, Old Tarnham is a bitch. Laughing I don’t think I can go many other places now but to finish Vicar Amelia. And I can barely get her down to 50%....Blush

Just finished Uncharted 4. Was a really cool game. Basically its Indiana Jones, tomb raider, National treasure, goonies with some Battlefield mixed in. Good times.

I love Dark Souls. I’ve played them all. Went through Darks Souls 3 about 7 times. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s up for a good challenge.
