Wrapped Shadows of Mordor, will be moving on to the Add-on campaigns. I will say it's a great game, unique game mechanic to help it stand out, painfully short, and an utter *SQUEE* of a final mission.

I have now moved on to Fallout 4. Good lord... so much to do. I have spent the past two days just messing around in Sanctuary and doing side what's for the Minutemen. I am opting for a skilled craftsman as my character. High in Intelligence, Charisma, and Persception. His name: Ivar Anni-Padda.
Does Codsworth say his name? I named by first character Rachel and he didn't say her name (or if he did I didn't it or see it in the subtitles).

my wife and i are 9 days 8 hours into fallout 4. i don't believe we are anywhere near the end of the main quest. we've just been wandering around building settlements and doing side quests. unbelievably addicting. great music.

we don't play video games much in our house. is the depth of this game common in other games?

Oh yeah, they can be. Bethesda and BioWare make RPGs that mix the right balance of action and depth, along with usually very compelling stories. Dragon Age: Inquisition is another example of resource management and insane number of side quests. Fallout 4 takes it to another level.

You must be a student. Christ, you should see my uni here in the UK. Place has been like a *SQUEE* ghost town since that game hit the shelf. Only reason I know that is because I've not played *any* Fallout games and am still attending lectures... Sick of hearing about this game already. All anyone seems to have done on it so far is 'build a base' :? :lol:

Haha - no, I'm not a student anymore. I work full time & also do freelance art as a side job. Seriously cannot get sucked into a game like Fallout 4 right now with everything else I have on my plate. However, my wife bought it for me for Xmas, so... facepalm

I'm going to exercise extreme discipline and not even open it until I get some of my current freelance projects complete. And in the meantime, still play Destiny for short breaks :D

yeah mad max is kinda a thing. i'm currently kit bashing some model cars and making my own war rig/ support cars.

i talked to my bro in law about fallout. he said it's a good game but not a good fallout game. I'm interested in hearing your opinion when you start playing. how does it compare.

So I've finished Bioshock Infinite and The Last Of Us. Two very different games with two very strong stories.

I enjoyed Bioshock more as I'm into those kind of stories. However I'm always annoyed when FPS games dump lore in easy to miss collectibles and in-game cutscenes.

Last of Us, I'm not a huge zombie/zombie-like games. However I did enjoy the world itself and truly did wonder how the world fell apart. Something I really like about post-apocolypse stories is how the world falls apart and how people interact with the world.

Ripped through two FPS games. The genre has never been a massive favorite and I lose interest real fast when the games not interesting so Duke Nukem Forever and Homefront were it. Homefront has the nugget of a good story but is just way too damn short.

Actually, I finished II last night so Brotherhood is now installed and awaiting its first play :)

Which one is #3? The native american/pirate/creole girl part? Or just one of the games individually? Have to admit, even though I know nearly nothing about American history I'm rather looking forward to running around the colonial era and facing off against musket-toting guards :) Which games are part 4?

Anything on PS4 is beyond me at the moment, because I don't have one. I'll probably wait a few years until it's gone down in price, and then pick up the entire stack of PS4 AC games for about £7 on ebay (like I did with the PS3 lot, lol!) to play through in one big run! :lol:

Fallout 4 on my PS4.

It may be just me but FO4 seems more buggy on PS4 than on Xbox One. :?

Well it goes...

Assassins Creed
Assassins Creed II
Assassins Creed Brotherhood
Assassins Creed Revelations
Assassins Creed 3 (The Native American)
Assassins Creed IV Black Flag (Pirate)

Those are the main ones

Assassins Creed Liberation is the one with the woman and can be played anytime really. It ties to 3 but isn't really that important.

It also sounds line your collection is the Americas Collection which is a bundle of Liberation, 3, and 4

That's right, that's the one - they're all on one disc which is rather nifty :) That's also why I didn't know if they were counted as seperate games (ie 3 + 4) or were part of the same storyline like II, Brotherhood and Revelations. I imagined it was probably the latter as the box simply says "The American Saga" on it. I suppose it might've been a little clearer if I'd gotten around to playing them already. Still looking forward to doing so though :D

Having said that, I binged a bit last summer when I saw a load of games on a really good offer in the shop so I've still got Bioshock II and Infinite, Red Dead Redemption, Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider to play through as well, so it'll be really tough deciding what to play next once I've finished AC Revelations! :lol:

Some solid choices there. I enjoyed Infinite a lot it's story I feel though could've been portray way better. Red Dead Redemption is amazing and Sleeping Dogs is really under rated as far as open world games go.
