Video games?

I usually find pre-owned games at Gamestop for a decent price, but 3 weeks ago while at Meijer there was a box in the aisle touting "buy 1 get 1 free. $19.99. I rummaged around 'til I found a couple. Not bad for new.

I've been messing around with FARCRY. There are too many control functions IMO and I get tired of walking around seeing a gun stuck out in front of me but it's an open world game and you can choose where you want to go.
I rarely finish a game to the end but just get tired of them.

Far Cry games are good. I have played all of them I think. That Left Alive looks interesting. Going to look for it.

Edit: Looks like not on Xbox

Im also in the hunt for something new to entertain me. I played New World mmorpg for the last few months but kind of burnt on it. Just a boring daily grind. Tried Days Gone but hated it right of the bat as I don’t like any games where you have to drive things. Will try Horizon tonight. Both of these games I bought months ago on super buy deals. I’ve been debating buying Elden Ring but think it would be just frustrating vs fun. Anyone here play it?

I tired of Days Gone real quick. I don't like it when you have to go from one point to another with no options. When I got stuck in tunnel and couldn't get out that was it. My daughter tells me I might like Elven Ring but I don't feel like spending $59. One of these days I'll find it cheaper.

Yeah, I like to actually see my character.
It's called Left Alive.
"NOVA SLAVA 2127 : During a devastating surprise invasion, three survivors must find a way to endure and unravel the truth about the war. Outnumbered, outgunned, and up against monstrous mechs, every choice the survivors make could be their last."
I haven't tried it yet but for ten bucks I figured WTH. I can always trade it or sell it at Disc Replay. I just hope it's not a puzzle game......

It's probably a good thing. I was tired of it after an hour.

I am now playing Dayz Gone and really enjoy it. It’s something in different than the RPG’s I normally play. Survival / action , almost gave up early because controlling the motorcycle you move around on at times was insanely hard. After the intro super easy.

I finished Mass Effect and now playing Halo Infinite. I struggling to find games on this Xbox Pass that I have not all ready played. Most look like kid games.

I got stuck in a blocked tunnel and finally gave up trying to get past a zombie that kept popping out of a doorway......
Picked up The Elder Scrolls 5 / Skyrim yesterday and so far I like it a lot.
Gamestop only gave me $7.50 credit for 3 games. Might as well just keep them.

Skyrim is a great game. That zombie in the tunnel was very early wasn’t it? I finally figured you had to hit for PC the alt button repeatedly to squirm lose and then whack it to kill. Early game was frustrating but I’m glad I went back to it. Plays much like a stealth survivor game after

Santa brought my youngest (and me) PS5. Deep into Demon's Souls. The SSD makes dying every 3m tolerable. LOL

I joined Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for 4 months and can't find anything I want to play that I have not all ready played. So much for that. I went back to playing my old PS3 games. I just finished the first Tomb Raider. That was a fun game.

I'm shocked nobody has mentioned the Last of Us or Uncharted?

Both are some of the best games made.

I plan on playing the new release of Last of Us on PC when it’s released. Right now still playing Dayz Gone and just started Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It’s my first game of thst type and although seems good it also seems to have an extremely high initial learning curve. Picked it up on sale on Steam for $15

I started out way back in the day with Wolfenstein 3D on the PC. Played so much I was becoming a bit bored. Started modding the levels and had a second round of fun. Then nothing for many years until I discovered Far Cry 2 - loved that game and also started modding it. Then I found Fallout, started modding that and had loads of fun. These days I like the Assassin's Creed franchise (versions I, II, III, and many more). I also like the sequels to Far Cry 2. I do not mod games any longer, and play on the PS4.

I stopped at Super Nintendo...WAY too many buttons/knobs on the controls of anything newer for me.

Really bummed last of us is PS Exclusive. I have an Xbox Series X and would love to give it a play through, but then again I don't have a ton of time.

Never got into console gaming, but have spent plenty of time (and money) pc gaming. Currently though, just play Minecraft with my daughter. We have our own server setup that we play on together a couple times a week.

I played Days Gone after Last of Us, because it reminded me of Last of Us.

Last of Us and the entire Uncharted series make Playstation worth the price of admission.

I just hit level 3200 in candy crush!

Fanatical had a promotion last night to sign up for their email newsletter and get the entire legacy Leisure Suit Larry collection free on Steam. Had to do it lol.
