Been a few weeks since the new gen has started, what games have you played?

I've had my WiiU for nearly half a year now but I've only played nintedoland and sonic lost worlds

forza. pretty good. gets old quick.


battleglitch4.

so fricking over that abortion of a game.

I am.

cue all the god damn memes y'all want.

Im over it.

Forza.... Best racing game I've played, ever. Still a racing game, but beautiful.

Ryse.... I've played maybe 5 minutes. I liked it, but for whatever reason haven't gone back yet. The graphics were pretty sweet for how downgraded the resolution and everything ended up being. I'm sure I'll get back on when I get bored with...

CoD:Ghosts... first time I've ever played this franchise, so it's completely new to me. Mindlessly fun, IMHO. No problems at all on XBLive on any of my games.

I had initially purchased BF4, but took it back that same night to exchange for CoD, which I'm glad as shite I did. I've heard of too many glitches in this game to have personally enjoyed it. I don't play my ONE all day like some, so when I do get on, that shite needs to work.

I've also played a bit of Killer Instinct and enjoyed it, but I was doing nothing but button mashing.

NCAA .... And I wait for Bama to kick a field goal so I can run it back and win the game!!

This isn't a PC thread. Out.

I'll start this by saying that I was out of gaming for around 12 years. I'm in my mid 30's and my son is of the age that he wanted to start playing. I got him a Wii U last year. I got him an XBone this year. His birthday is in Nov so we've already set it up and played.

I'll start with the Wii U - not impressed. While the game pad does bring a little more diversity into the gaming experience it's capabilities are far from mind blowing. I played mario bros in elementary/high school and a very little in college. I was disgusted that I was basically playing the same game that I was in elementary/high school. Nothing has changed other than the levels and map. It's basically the same game. Combine this with the disgust I felt when I found out the game wasn't able to be played online, (and there are very few games for children that are online mp) and I'd say we just haven't come very far at all with gaming. Hopefully mario bros 3d will be a better experience. The whole Wii world or whatever it is is a big joke. They're just trying to sell you more shite and advertise. It's bullshite. No entertainment value at all unless you like being solicited about new games.

Xbone - honestly the voice commands are pretty sweet. I really like being able to speak to my TV instead of finding the remote to change the channel. The gaming aspect, although still new, was still unimpressive to me. While the graphics are really sweet, the games haven't changed much. Madden 25 is basically the same game I played in college. Very little outside of graphics has changed. COD ghosts was ok, but still, other than the cool graphics it's the same shooter game that I played in college. The lego game makes you think a little, but you're basically doing the same thing over and over and over to unlock the characters. Unimpressed.

TL:DR - After being out of gaming for 12 years and getting back in so that me and my son could bond a little I am completely unimpressed with the progress in gaming technology. Guess I just figured we would be alot further along by now.

I haven't even played Forza. I've played NFS and Gran Turismo in my time, how is the Forza series compared to them?

Easily a 1000x better than NFS and I would say on par if not better than Gran Turismo.

Very good game, one of the best racing sims hands down ... no matter your skill level.

Visually amazing as well.

yeah i played days worth of Turismo back on PS2 and have played my fair share of NFS. And I think the past 2 Forza's blow both out the water.
