Have you seen anything interesting in E3 just yet? So far nothing that caught my eye.

Yea I have seen lots of things that interest me.

Sekiro: Not a huge Dark Souls fan like so many but a game like that with a Samurai setting does interest me. The souls fans are going to totally nuts.

Crackdown 3: Looks more interesting than it has, maybe the game will turn out good.

Cyberpunk 2077: No gameplay was shown but its made by the developers of Witcher 3 which is an amazing RPG. Them doing one in a futuristic urban setting really has me excited.

My friend Pedro: 2D shooter but it looks really fun, reminds me of Deadpool.

Watch on YouTube

Fallout 76: Seems like Fallout 3 but totally online, will probably be one of the few games I play with my brother.

I am so pumped for Cyberpunk 2077. But very disappointed not see gameplay... again. But honestly, I am pumped just because its CD projekt red, if it was anyone else, That trailer wouldn't look like my cup of tea at all. But we all know what projekt red is capable of.

I beat Witcher 3 twice. Masterpiece. Love that world. Never played first 2 before playing that one, but recently bought first one enhanced edition, enjoying it so far.

[Calinks]

I haven't beat 3 yet. STopped playing a few years ago and never went back but will one day. Did beat Witcher 2 and loved it. 3 was great too but I just got tired of it which happens form time to time.

[King Malta]

If I could get Elder Scrolls 6 tomorrow that would be great, thanks.

[Mattya]

Cyberpunk, Beyond Good and Evil 2, Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Devil May Cry, Control, and Spider-Man all look good to me.

[Klomp]

OK guys, I need recommendations. I would love some options of games that aren't the Madden/2k variety. That's all I've really played for probably 5-10 years, so I wouldn't mind expanding. They don't have to be new. In fact, I maybe would prefer older games because they're probably cheaper. Looking for good one-player mode, and I've never really felt the need to play online much either so that's not required. Due to physical limitations, nothing too complex.

Depending on how extreme your physical limitations are you may be interested to know that Xbox has recently released an adaptive controller. It may make playing games a lot easier for you.

As far as single player games go, its hard to recommend without having an idea of what you would want. There is a huge breadth and depth to single player games. Your best bet though is probably getting Xbox Game pass trial. I think you get two weeks free or so and I also think you can buy your first month for just a dollar. There are over 100 games and a lot of them are good if you have never played them. Here is what I think is the current list. I will highlight some games I know are good and have deep stories.

I'll have to look into the GamePass! Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, I heard about that awhile back. Pretty cool! I'm not that far limited though...

[UcanUwill]

Even tho I have relatively short gaming library, I still find myself abandoning games so I could play FIFA or crap like that. I really hate myself for that. I am a man of habit, but I think thats more than that, I might have obsessive compulsive thing going on. I am also addicted to background noise, I like hearing same old people talking, so I usually just load up some game that doesn't require sound (so that background noise would be in focus). Thats why I clock so many hours on stuff like FIFA or Civ or Xcom.

Few games that really grabbed my attention over the years were Witcher 3, Mass Effect trilogy and Bioshock infinite. So I recommend those. It takes a lot to grab my attention and sustain it for a lot of gaming hours.
I beat Witcher 3 and Mass effect multiple times, perfect games for more than one playthrough, with branching paths and what not. I recently tried playing Bioshock infinite again, but it didn't grab me, not the game that you play over and over. But when I played first time, man, that game is good at grabbing your attention, in one moment I got so invested and it messed up me so bad, I was flabbergasted, the talent to tell a story in that one blew my mind.

[Calinks]

Yea I really like Bioshock Infinite too. The first Bioshock game really set the benchmark for narrative driven first person shooters and is pretty widely viewed as the best game in the series so you may want to check that one out too.

Its one of those games I have but abandoned. It was pretty clunky and I dont really like scary games, its not that scary, but it has that unsettling atmosphere that infinite didn't have. I heard it has great twist. Its on my list to finish someday. Right now on my to finish list is Shadow of war and Divinity original sin 2. DOS2 is great, where Shadow of war has great gameplay, its much bigger than the first one, but its just not that captivating, and dont get me started on loot boxes or grinding.

2nd round of the playoffs and we just blew out Houston. My Nuggets team is actually pretty good as everyone 1-5 can hit threes and then we bring Shammy and Harris off the bench who can also hit threes. We are pretty my much up there with Rockets and GSW when it comes to scoring. My SG is a slasher and I do a lot of pick and pop with Jokic and Lyles. Lyles has an 84 3pt rating so those guys pop to the three a lot and they are open a lot after their picks because teams are so afraid of my ability to attack the rim.

I am really really hoping we play the Bucks in the finals as that's my favorite team in the league right now. Zach and Giannis are pretty fun to go against. We have to get past GSW first though and they whooped us last season.

[Calinks]

6 months of gamepass for half off.

Another good thing is all new first party xbox games (this year that means State of Decay 2, Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon 4, Gears of War 5) will be on gamepass.

Do you guys play Dota 2?

Ghost of Tsushima gameplay blew my mind. Legit reminds me of Witcher 3, just in non fantasy historical world.

Got to be honest, I am disappointed to hear Cyperpunk is first person. I usually dont like first person games that much, especially when they are RPGs.

[Calinks]

In my Career we finally got through Golden State and are going to the finals! The warriors were ridiculous, Durant would sometime alone go on 10-0 runs. So many threes. We beat them though in 6 games. The best part? The Bucks made it to the finals! That's the team I love playing. The team that features a Lavine coming into his prime, should be a fun series!

Anyone else notice that when you sim games in 2K18, the wolves are always weak? Butler never seems to average more than 16PPG and Wiggins doesn't do well either. Its like Towns with some mid tier scorers and they never amount to anything. Kind of annoying how much Butler gets down played in simulations.

He struggles when I'm playing in games too. I probably ballhog too much.

Started a second MyCareer, this one as a center for Orlando. I'm going to be the next Shaq/Dwight!

[TheDominator273]

It's the tendencies that the 2k roster has that plays a huge role in sim stats. The problem is their tendencies are all over the place so sim stats are crazy as a result

[Klomp]

Man, I like C a lot more than PG. Don't have to worry about chasing guys around the perimeter (easily the thing I struggle with most on defense). And on offense, I'm perfectly fine just setting screens and cleaning up the o-boards. My last guy was shooting like 35% from the perimeter, anyways, so I'm not missing out on much.

One pretty funny thing is in all the cut screens, my C is the same size as the PG I created in the previous MyCareer. Like a 7-8 inch difference. It's weird because he's like Shammy's size, but supposed to be 6-11, 260 or whatever.
