That's actually a good idea since most games tend to have massive backlogs.

Regarding your own stack, I'm also really selective about the games I play. Sitting through intros, going through tutorials, etc. is usually more than I can bother with.

But Mass Effect 2 is probably top 5 games I've ever played. Everything about it is amazing.

Sleeping Dogs is also a very good game that I'd recommend.

The rest, other than maybe Borderlands, I wouldn't even bother with.

Check out Hotline Miami (not listed) too. Simple graphics, minimal story, and simply mechanics, but the gameplay is very deep and fun.

EDIT: Forgot GTA V. I've always been a big GTA fan, all the way back to 2, but I actually got bored with 5 pretty quickly. Outside of 'wow' factor, I enjoyed Sleeping Dogs a lot more.

I highly recommend Army of Two: 40th Day, though. It's one of the few games of that generation you can play splitscreen co-op on. Plus the story is pretty good, the characters are cool, and blasting the crap out of the various enemies is fun.

If you've got any buddies that like to play video games invite them over and play that with them.

But seriously, Mercenaries 2 is broken. If you can find an original copy of Mercenaries you should play that.

RE: ORC is made by the same company that made the worst game of the SOCOM: US Navy SEALS series and their idea of "difficulty" is to allow monsters made of flesh and bone to soak up hundreds of rounds of assault rifle fire, when that would've devastated them in the other RE games.

Rage can't decide what it wants to be, Borderlands, Fallout, or some hybrid and it fails.

Darkness II is based on the comic book series The Darkness. I think more people know the game than the comic series, though. Just like Goldeneye the game was way better than Goldeneye the movie. The first game was pretty popular and fun, the second is kinda neat but I got tired of shooting the same old enemies again and again.

GTA:V is awesome, of course, but it's really pushing the limits of what the 360 can do. It's really good but I'm going to play it again on PC.

adding to your critiques,

Shadows of the Damned is pretty good, it did not sell to well but I thought it was a great blend of Shinji Mikami's /Suda 51 style.

Dead Space 2 is great not as scary as the first game but still, great reminded me a lot of Resident Evil 4. Multiplayer was stupid though

Splatterhouse is a pretty fun beat em up game.

My Game back log is pretty bad on steam also, I will probably never even touch most of those games. Gaming really has become a passive hobby for me don't play nearly as much as I used to.

@Anonymousbosch

I and many others hope one day you do drop some articles ,whether on ROK or Roosh's new video game site.

[Zep]

I think i've played one video game in my life, for 15 minutes. Not my thing, but the graphics and sound were very impressive. I would like an educational game though, like you have a textbook, and the only way to get through the game would be to know the textbook and then apply it to scenarios. Be cool to do it for social skills products.

I give props to Bosch for having Bayonetta. That's one of my all time faves.

Thanks for the tips, guys. I'll put the ones you recommend on top and might eventually get around to them.

When I saw Roosh's message on rooshv about starting a site I thought it would be a site about travel.
The new video game site will certainly be interesting to look at.
From Game to games Godspeed to Roosh on this venture

@AnonymousBosch

I'd suggest shifting Borderlands, AKA 'Obnoxious Pop Culture Reference: The Game', down to the bottom of the pile.

Also, congrats on making it 4 dungeons into Dragon Age II before quitting, that's further than me.

I assume you want to get through those before buying anything else, but I'd suggest picking up Dark Souls sometime.
Fantastic gameplay, few distracting cutscenes, minimal story, no "strong female characters©", and no exploring your bisexuality with ridiculous romances. Solid game, overall.

[2Wycked]

AnonyBosch:

There is a game called Final Fantasy Tactics.

One of the most complex and emotionally rich storylines I have ever had the pleasure of playing.

Unlike the ham-fisted moralizing of so many new games, FFT weaves a story about the allure and abuse of absolute power with strong homages to Christian imagery, specifically the Biblical character of Judas.

It is turn-based, so it relies much more on strategy than in-the-moment decision-making and dexterity.

While I'm not sure you would enjoy the game-play (I love it) I am certain you would appreciate the characters, dialogue and story arc.

[Enigma]

^ Great, great game. One of my all-time favorites (FFT).

You ever played Tactics Ogre, 2Wyked? I recently started playing it on a PS1 emulator on my tablet. Very similar to FFT but came out about a year before and is made by Atlus.

I actually have heard of it. I remember getting into FFT when I was in junior high (2000 or so) and vowing to play it....then never doing it.

Looks like I should dive into it, because I did remember hearing good things about it, and with forum members vouching for it...sounds like worth trying it out

It's been a while since I played FFT also, but it was always one of my all-time favorites.

I'm not too far into Tactics Ogre, so I can't necessarily say I "recommend" just yet but it's extremely similar to FFT and I just happened to have started it the other day.

I would however strongly recommend Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor for a more modern take on the genre. The overall mechanics are similar but it has a lot of big differences.

The art style is anime but the story is very dark overall. If you've never played SMT games, it all revolves around demons, angels, and a lot of occult kind of material. It's very Japanese, so none of the SJW crap (that I can recall, been a year or two since I've played it), but there is a main character chick who is pretty annoying.

The game is played within the period of a week, and each hour you have choices about where you go. Choosing to go to one place over the other will cause characters to die and the story to change. It's for DS but I just played it on a emulator.

I love how those SJW(whatever that means) get on and link to the site so fast give the site more publicity freely.

[philosophical_recovery]

As a non-gamer, I read this:

Quote:

Our goal is simple: create a safe space for heterosexual males who play video games. We won’t exclude homosexuals or attractive women from commenting on our articles, and we sincerely hope they find value in what we have to say, but understand that this site will be written by male gamers for male gamers. It aims to be a place where men can be themselves without SJW infiltration, judgement, and influence. In the year 2014, surprisingly, there are very few spaces for men online where their message isn’t attacked by white knights, man-haters, and SJW’s. I know an unmet need when I see one.

[SamuelBRoberts]

Can someone explain this to me?
I don't understand this, and I don't like it when I don't understand things.

https://twitter.com/carolynmichelle/stat...9761141760

Here is Miss Michelle's statement:
"There's so much gold in the Reaxxion mission statement but I think this is my favorite line. http://www.reaxxion.com/1287/welcome-to-reaxxion … "

The line in question is "I won't tell you go to the gym and sleep with thin EE women, behaviors I currently engage in."
This is evidently comedy gold to people, since there are responses like:
@carolynmichelle omfg, that's a gem
@carolynmichelle Oh man I someone totally missed that line, and am now thankful you pointed it out.
@carolynmichelle that made me laugh despite my general rage toward the whole thing

SJWs evidently find the gym incredibly humorous. Or maybe sleeping with thin EE women is funny?
What is going on here?

[Troll King]

I had been thinking of doing this also over the past few weeks. I saw another commenter say the same thing. I personally got out of the habit of playing games several years ago due to time limitations and being short on money. I might create my own site though here in the future. I would suggest anyone one else who is interested to do the same. A few anti-SJW/feminist gaming sites, if done well and they stayed on point and worked together, could create a real backlash against misandry and SJW influence in games while also bring more men into the red pill fold. Hell, even if we didn't recruit gamers into the sphere just having an impact on SJWarriors would be fun. Also, there is probably a lot of money to be made by taking away customers from the bigger SJW infiltrated companies.

[Paulaus]

A good idea!

Another good idea and one reason why I don't read the news is cause its corrupted and run by feminists and betas!

I would like to read the news without the feminist/beta bullshit. Returnofkings.com is great but be good to see u guys take on the media with an Alpha version!

SJWs have no filter between their damaged brains and their fat fingers.

Do they really believe that Roosh didn't know what he was doing with this line?
"We won’t exclude homosexuals or attractive women from commenting on our articles"

No. They just can't stop themselves from responding, even when they read something that's obviously there just to evoke a reaction from them.

It's called hate reading/responding. Great example of this is how liberals get off on Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert talking about the latest crap coming out of Fox News. That said, we here are very guilty of this too when it comes to feminist articles. I think it's just human nature.

[bojangles]

Halo is out today, hope you've got an article written on that Roosh

[Eirykr]

Regarding what content to include in articles, or what ratings methods to use:

I would really recommend shying away from overt ideological content. Things like a "Misandry" rating or articles that become preachy about it will look almost whiny and MRA-ish.

If the site is in fact a reaction to Gamergate, then give the gamergate crowd what they really need: a place free of ideological bullshit. A place they can relax, let their hair down and just get back to talking about games, pure and simple.

The fact that Reaxxion is tied to your name as a brand, Roosh, is that people can trust that you will not allow the site to be overtaken by SJW talking points. It can be a solid piece of land jutting out into the morass of confusion and a place where people can go to get reliable content.

That said, I think opinion pieces that are just that and free to speak masculinist views without fear of reprisal would be fine.

Alas that's not really the case atm. There's articles and you can comment on them - a site would need a forum to properly let people just relax and talk.

The problem is that they have created an environment where no-one is free to honestly express themselves.

There's no room for anything other than condemnation of badthink, attempting to genuinely understand the views of your opponents is classed as a betrayal.


The new site has only been available for a short time, but already the comments are heavily polarised. Hopefully as the content grows it will draw in more moderate thinkers and there will be comments that add value.

I believe they do this in an attempt to browbeat those with opposed viewpoints into silence. They believe this is possible because they are so tremulous at the sight of any disagreement with their own paradigm that they consider it oppression in action.

Let them howl and gnash their teeth. Eventually they'll get bored when they realize no one there will care, can be shamed or that it can't be infiltrated and shut down. Mark my words: their next tactic will be to attack the webserver itself, when they realize they are out of options.

[Roosh]

While I support #gamergate, I'm not sure if I'm ready to hitch my wagon to them completely. They seem hyper sensitive to their enemies giving false labels like "misogynist" or "sexist". They really care what SJW's think of them and want to come across as noble. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's how their movement can be destroyed.

[TheWastelander]

They need to learn that hysterical SJWs should be ignored or mocked, not negotiated with or taken seriously. If you do that you give them power, validate them, and buy into their tortured, deviant frame.

Bear in mind, I'm talking about the average SJW twitter/tumblr/whatever warrior who thinks they're clever. The doxxing, SWATTing, harassing leftist psychopaths that Mike is dealing with should be taken seriously and torn apart.
