Quorthon109 05/20/17 2:16:55 AM #8:	Recently, I'd say Furi.

PesticideDream 05/20/17 2:37:20 AM #11:	Witcher 3. I tried to play Witcher 2 and just couldn't really stand it. I thought it was really boring, too much dialogue, a bunch of fantasy political crap I didn't care about. I saw a tremendous amount of hype and great impressions about Witcher 3, really wanted to buy it and watched Twitch streams but it still looked kind of boring. I took the plunge anyway, and I've played it for 200+ hours and still love it. Overwatch. Had zero clue what this game was. Played the beta because it was free, thought it was kind of cool but I didn't really know what I was doing and there were so many characters to choose from. Once I played Random Heroes and learned all the heroes, I was absolutely hooked. <cite>PesticideDream posted [p:879453566] in What game(... [t:75366265]...</cite> <quote>Witcher 3.

They're even dedicating the next 3 months for fixing things. When season 2 came out everything from launch was finally fixed. Then Skull Rain happened and the matchmaking and netcode got bad again.

boxington 05/20/17 3:24:48 AM #19:	Bloodborne. I liked the first two Dark Souls games, but I didn't feel that they were anything that special. maybe it's because I played through Demon's Souls first, idk. anyway, Bloodborne's weird mix of horror, sci-fi, and mystery combined with the mechanics of the Souls games really appealed to me. --- http://i.imgur.com/dL319hV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qzEHw.gifv <cite>boxington posted [p:879454789] in What game(...
