The Video Games Thread II - The Resurrection

[Jolemai]

From those I only know Ticket to Ride. It's one of the better games I've played and becomes really tricky to win with 3+ players.

BoardGameGeek is an excellent website for researching what you might want.

This is a video in 5 minutes of what happened in previous Witchers. So don't watch if you plan on playing them.

Ticket to Ride seems to be universally liked, showed up in most top-lists. Looking forward to it.

I was a bit overwhelmed by that site. I went through a lot on Dice Tower and Shut Up and Sit Down, then followed up on youtube videos for the games that made the list. Wil Wheaton's channel Tabeltop was pretty good, even if he is rather hammy.

The dozen I ordered already should hopefully keep us busy for awhile. Especially since I didn't realize how expensive board games have gotten! Good lord man.

I see the announcement that FIFA 16 having women on it has got the "men" of this world all upset

I knew some people probably wouldn't be overjoyed but that it has actually upset people is mindboggling to me.

Why would it annoy anyone?! Bizarre. Probably annoyed about the lack of teams across the leagues that feature in the game.

"There are other issues that should be dealt with first", ie, this feature is a waste of time.

There is a certain logical sense in that argument but at the same time you could also logically argue that women's inclusion in the game has come far too late anyway.

Such an atrocious argument - in that case, why didn't these people complain about random teams such as the Saudi Arabian league sides being included?

My 4 year old daughter - who has only very recently been introduced to football - will be thrilled to see women's teams included!

I think it's great to see some women's teams included. About time too.

This makes me unbelievably happy for you and her. Think of all the young girls the world over who may be latently exposed to new role models this way!

Well....it's been a long time ( five years? ) but I am playing Red Dead Redemption from the beginning.

Two hours in and I'm wondering.....is this the best game ever made?

If you like being put to sleep.

 

[Hereford Wolf]

If you like being put to sleep.

Or if you appreciate great games.

Seriously, I know we all have different views on things, but RDR is almost the ultimate game to me. Just everything I like in a game.

If there is a follow up on PS4 then I will buy the console immediately.

 

[Alan]

I found it horrendously boring. But I tend to do in games that don't have any sense of urgency.

It never made it to PC did it?
