Fashionable to be late - classic games you've just played

J35T3R · 12 Feb 2019 at 20:34

Or plan too...

Only his week I started the GOW franchise despite being out for yonks! Half way through the 1st game. Boom!

Never played a Zelda game in my puff, just bought a Wii U so I can play the 3 games on that platform.

Never played a Fallout game....Got FO4 which I plan to play over the next few weeks.

What older games are you just getting around to enjoying?

I do the same with films, watch them years after they've came out....

I got Mario Maker recently for a steal on Wii U, a lot of people playing and creating levels still which is great .

I'll need to check it out. One game I don't have.

Got it yesterday and had a mess around. Very nostalgic introduction to the game. Nice touch Nintendo.

Yeah is great.

The additional items for level building unlock over time or there are ways to speed this up, just do a Google if you want to get everything sooner.

Regarding fallout
Play 3 and NV first

Since the start of this month I've completed Splinter Cell, SC: Pandora Tomorrow and SC: Chaos Theory.

I'm going to start playing SC: Double Agent today.

I have FO3 too, any reason why? Are they not standalone stories?

some characters carry over from 3 to 4 regarding the brotherhood of steel also some find it hard to back to the older games due to gameplay changes

That might be my next port of call after GOW.

I thought GOW1 was a bit dark/gloomy and very short. GOW2 has been thus far, excellent. Can't believe I'm only getting round to these titles.

Just started on Gears of War Ultimate Edition. I've been enjoying it so I picked up GOW 2, 3 and 4 as well. Bit annoying that GOW 2 and 3 haven't been remastered so I'll have to make do with 360 era graphics.

KraniX · 17 Feb 2019 at 14:55

Personally I'd skip Fallout 3 and go straight to 4, I didn't like 3 at the time and don't think it has aged well. Many more interesting games to play before that.

Haven't tried NV so can't comment on that.

I've done the same. A few months back played the first 3 in the series. Not as tough or as pretty to look at from memory of early Xbox days but still decent games.

Just finished GOW2 this afternoon and for 360 graphics, I was pretty impressed. Good sense of scale in some of those caverns, the worm level and getting to ride a Brumak! Superb..

Will the remake of Links Awakening count? I owned the original but never completed it (nor played it much from recollection)

Plainsong · 18 Feb 2019 at 12:09

FFIX on the Switch. Never played it before and I am really enjoying it.

Just finished Halo 5...pretty decent. Should go back and play 4 really as I didn't really know the back story for Cortana...but 5 was still pretty decent. Gunplay is as excellent as always, and the sounds, weapons etc.

Started playing Metro 2033 redux, never played a Metro game before. Seems ok, although I'm not a big fan of dark dingy games, mainly as my TV isn't great and my apartment is quite bright.

Playing Apex Legends though mostly :S

Pretty much the main backstory in 4 was for about Cortana! However I've not played 5 yet so I don't know how she comes back.....or doesn't.. .

Just started the first Halo game last night, played a little bit of ODST in the past but haven't really touched the rest of the series before.

Great series, especially 2 and 3.
