I've been doing some playing with Hearts of Iron 4: Waking the Tiger. Playing one game as Australia and one as Canada. Broke Australia away from the Commonwealth just before Sudetenland (Didn't want to get sucked up into another Gallipoli) Japan looks like it's getting ready to go after the USSR, so I'm busy building up the RAAF and am about to get to work on the RAN and building up my army. Slowly turning Australia into a major player.

I hated that, and I hated playing Max Payne 3..... It was almost cutscene the game haha.

I finished up the favela a day or two after the post, and after getting stuck going through the town in Virginia, I finally gave in and turned the difficulty down.
I'm now up the mission in Whashington DC after the nukes go off.

I hate that oil rig in Modern Warfare 2

I just played through it a couple days ago, and I wasn't bothered by it.
So out of curiosity, for those of you who play MW2, do you kill any civilians in the airport? Since this was my second play through and I did find it rather disturbing the first time through I was going to skip it, but once I realized how important it is the story, I went back and played through it.
Both times through, I didn't kill any civilians, but once the military or SWAT guys show up, I did shoot back against them.

Civilization 6

I am playing plants versus zombies at the moment

I first played Saint's Row 2 when I got my new computer, and since I was very familiar with GTA, I said "This is the most blatant GTA clone I've ever seen", but I still enjoyed it regardless. A rather serious story for its goofiness. And I knew I wanted to play more.
But when I tried "The third", I absolutely hated it and vowed I was done and moved on.

When I got my PS3 console, since I found GTA games virtually unplayable vs the PC I was used to, I for whatever reason decided to try SR3 again, thinking it'd be different on console... and surprisingly, the controls work really well (unlike any other console GTA) and I've been playing it a lot since I got it. I actually like it now. So, Saint's Row the Third on PS3.

Funny how console or PC can affect a game; at least for me.

Pokemon Moon. Working on hatching some Magikarp eggs to try to get a shiny one.

Finally tried out the free PS Plus games for the PS3 this month. Just tried out Mighty No 9 on my PS3. Controls were easier to learn than I thought they would be. Only issue is that I couldn't get past the first stage. A metal box was blocking my path. Legend of Kay: Anniversary Edition is ok so far. Only thing I'm no fan of is the sound at times. Had to turn off the music to hear the characters talk since it seems as if they fade in and out.

I won’t lie but a friend of mine beat me with hacked (altered) Magikarps lol

I can't wait for the Switch's next Pokemon. I want to see the upgrade.

I thought S/M was pretty lame to be honest... and I've played every single game since Gen 1. Yet it was those that just... irked me.

Dude, I stopped at Black/White. I just couldn’t be bothered anymore with Pokémon. Yeah I figured Sun/Moon would be lame. Pokémon Go got me all jacked up. I’m wandering around a dark church 2 in the morning trying to capture a jigglypuff. No way man lol plants versus zombies keeps me in my home

I forgot, I didn't play B/W either. But I did play BW2, which wasn't bad. BW did give me that same feeling I disliked from SM, coincidentally enough.

 

[Haido]

I felt BW finally lost all originality of Pokémon. I was beast with Pearl but Black did it for me. I gave away all my games to a kid. Just couldn’t. Sun and Moon..I mean, it just seems weird

 

[PureCrimson]

I had the most fun with the original Silver. I remember playing it via emulation long after the GBC was out of date every day between classes in college (all in real time, the game was synced) and then when I got home and I would play it at night. It felt like a real journey.

The only other one I played like that was gen IV, with Diamond (or Pearl? I don't remember). And the last one I actually really enjoyed was Y, on the 3DS. Too bad it's so out of date now.

Nothing wrong with that. Before I gave away my Pokémon games to some kid, I should him how to play Pokémon sapphire. This kid had no idea it even existed.
When you say emulation you mean on a computer?

 

[PureCrimson]

Yes, I emulated them all for free, since I had no desire or use for the systems past those games.

It was only with the 3DS, that I couldn't emulate, that I had to actually buy it. Luckily there were lots of other games on 3DS I found myself enjoying more. Like Fire Emblem.

 

[Haido]

Okay I wasn’t sure. Had to ask. I think I played Pokémon on my laptop just don’t know which one. And Kirby. I know for sure I had that. Kirby and the crystal shards.
That is one game I never played..fire emblem

 

[PureCrimson]

All the FE games are story/character driven strategy RPGs. I like them more because of the former reason.

Or the controls; controller vs keyboard + mouse...

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Which is almost always won by the latter for me, but not always.
