Like how graphic? Bioshock graphic, Mortal Kombat graphic or in-between?

Something else: does anyone know any good games based on philosophy or has philosophical themes? Been interested in such games since I learned of Bioshock, Bioshock: Infinite, and Antichamber in this thread. Just bought the The Stanley Parable from Steam and even though I haven’t played it yet I’ve heard it’s mind-blowing and full of philosophical themes, and also the theme of the role of choice in games.

I’ve heard good things about Portal and Portal 2. Probably a lot of puzzle solving.
 
If anyone wants to spend a month on the couch play skyrim 😉

I’m a big fan of RTS games. I like Civ 5 I always found Christianity in my empire then take over the world.

Yeah, me too. I always would want to be the first to found Christianity in my Civ4 games 👍

What other RTS games do you like? besides the turn-based ones.

I played them a lot more when I had a PC but since I have a Mac I really only have Civ 5. (I have an xbox but don’t like paying them on consoles)

Anyway I use to play Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth games a lot and Age of Empires. I also had Halo Wars on Xbox

I also don’t like to play console games that much - but that might change when I get Bioshock: Infinite for my birthday. 😃

Me too. I tend to avoid MMO’s, as they’re usually frustrating for me, but I’m thinking of making an exception for this one. It looks like it’s going to be pretty cool.

Yeah this is my first MMO but I do like roll playing games and Bungie did a great job with halo so I got the Beta for Destiny and it had me sold! A lot of fun

If I may be utterly pedantic, the Civilization series is turn-based. RTS – real-time-strategy – describes games like Red Alert 2 and Age of Empires in which all players are making moves constantly, where the emphasis is on reflexes and quick-thinking instead of the more strategic mulling-over-things you find in turn-based games.

That makes sense. I always just kinda lumped this games together I guess just cause they are similar

It doesn’t help that there are some games like the* Medieval: Total War* and *Rise of Nation *series that intermix RTS and turn-based elements. I used to confuse them – my first time playing Civilization III, in fact, I decided to build an entire army of spearmen as a cheap substitute to swordsmen. Spearmen are most definitely not cheap offense units in Civ3! 😃
 
Any Mario Kart 8 fans? Nintendo just released some free Mercedes karts to add to the game. They also unveiled some upcoming DLC to be released in November and next May, which will include six new racers (including Link!) and sixteen new courses. All for $12! That’s half a game worth of new tracks!

I’ve always recoiled at the concept of DLC, but this I don’t mind. 🙂

Oh man, well if Link’s going to be in it then I have to have it haha :D. Do they have other non-Mario Nintendo characters in it? I have the same attitude as you towards DLC, but there’s always this one thing that sounds really cool that you just have to have, so I guess it’s a good business practice, at least from the company’s POV.

You seem to like Mario Kart 8 a lot. Is it better than the previous MK installments? I kind of want to get a Wii U, but it would probably have to wait until December so I could play with my sister while I’m on Christmas break. Maybe my brother would be willing to play the new Smash Bros. like we used to when we were kids haha.
 
I used to love video games in the olde days when you played them at a console at a gallery in the mall.

But now that you have to do it all on your computer, and with all the violence not so much.
I liked the commaradery with the other people actually physically present at the gallery. I even got a few high scores.

Is that even possible now days with all the players on their separate computers and in their own living rooms?

Once in a while I will see a console game at like a pizza parlor. It brings back great memories.

Speaking completely from my own experience… YES! DEFINITELY! 👍

It’s like those gaming scenes from The Big Bang Theory (with a bit more coolness and a lot less Sheldon). 😛

The track pack coming out in November has Link, Cat Princess Peach and Tanooki Mario. The one that will be released next May has a few characters from Animal Crossing and Dry Bowser.

But some of the screen shots of the new tracks make it look like there is a track inspired by Mute City from F-Zero and another looks kind of like an old Excitebike track. It will be interesting. I could see Nintendo basically coming out with one of these every 6 months if it is successful.

Normally, DLC makes me feel ripped off (like they held back on purpose just to charge extra later). I don’t feel that way with this because Mario Kart 8 has just as many tracks and features as any previous installment. So this feels more like extra.

I do like the game a lot. The zero gravity portions were a nice addition and the graphics are very well done. It’s hard for me to be objective, though. Something about Nintendo games makes me regress into a giddy 10 year old boy sometimes. :o
