Video Game Thread: Atari vs. Commodore Debate...

What do you mean you will play the game at least two times through? The main quest? I guess that's possible. If you're going to immerse yourself into the game, however, you'll put in at least 100 hours.

Well I usually play games about as fully as possible now. I typically only buy like 3 video games a year tops anymore. I've logged probably about 100 hours in a given FIFA game, I know I logged well over 100 hours in each of the first 2 ME games. Typically I use my first go around to kind of get used to how the game functions and some of the quirks and shortcuts, then the second time around since I know the outline of the game I unlock it's secrets. Then sometimes I play it a few more times if I really enjoy it. I played Oblivion for a very long time. I'm glad most games don't have counters on them anymore, they'd probably make me depressed.
 
My hours in Borderlands 2 is kind of scary. But I love gaming, and so does my girl. Shes cool with staying in on a Friday night playing some coop.
 
Lame. I thought this was really going to be a discussion about Atari Vs. Commodore. I'm out.

Here's a new topic for this thread that fell off page one.

What are your favorite games that you wish had a sequel but haven't had one... yet?

1) Beyond Good and Evil - What a great game that was. Thanks Ubi for making 90 million Assassin Creed games but failing to make a sequel for this one.
2) Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem - They tried but the internet hate led to their failure
3) Okami - One of the best games of all time.

I had both at the same time, interesting. I wish they port some of those old school games to the PC. Using the emulators suck on my 64 bit system. Yes Turbo, I finally upgraded my pc from 2006 to a 2013 model. 7970 video card and a AMD 8350 processor. It is about 2000 times faster than the one I had before.

Hmm. Tricky one. Sometimes I prefer that games don't get remade or sequels cause they don't have much more story to tell.

I would agree with Beyond Good and Evil, I think they tried to make a sequel but it didn't come to fruition. Eternal Darkness is a good pick as well, but I think it's one of those that doesn't have much more of a story to tell. I would add the Jedi Knight series needing a new game, been a long time for what once a great series. I with there was a US sequel to Earthbound. I loved Earthbound. Chrono Cross should have a sequel, While not as great as Chrono Trigger, needs more. Red Dead Redemption needs a new game hopefulyl that's what Rock Star is working on after GTA V

And there needs to be an Elder Scrolls 6 and Fall Out 4 because those series rock.

I'm more from the Nintendo generation but I went undefeated in about 10 games of Joust back at a Fernley NV truck stop in the early 90's.
 
I just spent the last 15 hours playing Pokemon X.

1) I haven't owned a handheld gaming system of any type since 2003 (Gameboy Advance SP). Not even any of the PSP's.
2) I haven't played a Pokemon game since 2002.

Boy this game is addicting. It's much much more complicated and in-depth than I remember, but it still maintains that Pokecrack addiction.

Ever since 2002 when I started playing online games, I kind of just didn't care about handheld anymore, but man I regret not playing the previous Gens of Pokemon (Ruby/Sapphire, Black & White).

Plus it's online too! I've been so busy building up my pokemon that I haven't had time to battle anybody online yet!
 
Wii Sports Club is a blast. Weso, you should download and play some bowling with me. You can help me build the Tennessee club's rank. There's a free 24 hour period.

By the way, why aren't we friends yet? Pretty sure we're the only ones here with a Wii U, we're both from Tennessee, and we both have the utmost respect for one another.

I'm playing Assassin's Creed IV right now and I don't think I can pull myself away from that game. I was thinking about downloading Wii sports, but not till after I'm done with AC IV. It takes me a while to finish games. I'll let you know when I do and I'll send you my nintendo id.

That's speculation on what elop may do if he takes over not something that will potentially happen. Its the type of thing that short traders want because it will raise their stock. Though they should ditch bing. Its a waste of money

I will buy a Wii U when the new Super Smash comes out. I had a Wii that I bought specifically for BRawl and it got stolen not even within 2 month.s
 
It's 5:00 PM EST, and I've been playing this game since 10:30 AM at work.

I love slow Saturdays like this even MORE now that I have this game!
