Best way to play video games? Sitting on a chair on a PC desk, or sitting on the floor with the TV on a TV stand?

..

how about sitting on a chair/sofa while playing on a tv on the stand/wall

I'm pretty sure that's the most commonly used

[Kaladin]

I maybe a bit old-fashioned but i tend to sit on the floor while playing on consoles

Not that i have any issue with sitting on a chair/sofa, its just a sort of long time habit

[Tomwin Lannister]

Sitting on my massive leather chair, with my sexy TV on my giant desk next to my laptop and ps3.

With a mini fridge in the Summer so I don't need to walk to the fridge.

Hah, the mini fridge made your post . I can see myself in the same situation , just that I sold my PS3 a few months ago.

Not gonna lie gentlemen it is a good set-up


RG you must hold some sort of Powerlifting record to enter my humble abode.

Me and Big E Langston were playing FIFA the other day ffs.

Anyone suffering from lack of games? After The Last Of Us, the only thing I've been playing is FIFA 13. This Ramadan has been bad for gaming. Usually I wait for Sehri by playing games, this year Last Of Us had me going for a while, then I only had FIFA. Played some old MP games like Halo, COD, Gears, Injustice but eh nothing is clicking. Did a Breaking Bad re-watch and Song Of Ice And Fire re-read and also got some movies but games is the best waiting for Sehri recipe out there. Last year I had Skyrim, so yeah :lol:there were no complaints at all. I had forseen the lack of games after Last Of Us from the beginning, should have saved the Rockstar Games re-play for this month. The Jan till June phase was crazy, DmC, Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, God Of War, Gears Of War, Injustice, Tomb Raider, BioShock, The Last Of Us, and the best part is I had all of them for the price of one full game through borrowing and second hand. The next game I could get is Splinter Cell, with playing all the games released so far in the series, I most probably will get Blacklist too. Then things go crazy again with GTA V, FIFA 14, Batman, Assassin's Creed, Beyond Two Souls, Watch Dogs, Call Of Duty etc. During the first week of Ramadan I had a Mass Effect 2/Mass Effect 3 re-play, reminded me on how brilliant the series is. Did a grand MGS re-play last year, eh Ramadan is almost over. After Eid the madness begins.

Join the Fifa Pro Clubs crew brah  

I haven't actually touched any PS3 games really..besides Journey/Flower and FIFA. So it's kind of the opposite for me, I plan on doing Last of Us and Uncharted 2 in the next couple of weeks then I'll just wait for GTA. So many PS3 exclusives I've got to play that It's a little overwhelming and I'm hesitant to start. I'm also a PS+ subscriber and have like 20 decent games I've never played on that..

I'm playing PES 2013 atm.

Got Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite to get done before GTA 5 and PES 2014 comes out next month.

On Mass Effect 2 its one of my favourite games this gen, i hated Mass Effect 3 though so meh

Was also my favourite RPG this gen until i played Witcher 2.

hmm even though rammadan is nearing its end id advise you to look up a few old games that you missed out on

and btw anyone played tomb raider

[nichabr]

The new Everquest looks like it's going to be amazing from the few clips I have seen so far.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Considering PES 2014 comes out next month i'll just post this here....

I'm simply amazed how much PES 2013 has nailed Fabregas in Barca tactics

I used Cesc and Sergi Roberto just to try something different.

You instantly notice the difference without Xavi.... Cesc struggles to control games and is just slow in every department.

When i say slow, i'm talking about his off the ball movements are nowhere near Xavi's as is ball control and agility on and off the ball.

But give him space in final third he can pick out some ridiculous passes which can lead to chances.

Just like in real life you need to play Cesc advanced to get anything from him and i was quite shocked to see how realistic it was.

I was 3-1 down because of this and on the hour mark i decided to bring on Xavi and Iniesta and ended up winning 6-3 aet.

Just thought i'd share for some reason.

[M99]

That subtle PES hype

Still sticking with FIFA

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Nah wasn't that

Just mentioning it because i was quite shocked by how realistic it was.

Besides i don't expect you or anyone to play PES 2013 its still a PS2 game at its core sadly.

Finally playing through Uncharted 2 after my used PS3 debacle..

Enjoying it so far, characters seem cool

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Just completed Tomb Raider.

Very different from the original Tomb Raider's but i think it might be better for it.

I enjoyed everything about this from the exploring, platform sequences, the story and the combat.

I love the island they built as well, looking forward to see how they expand the story and the setting as i imagine there will be sequels now.

Definitely one of my favorite games i have played this year.

[Firenze]

after playing the Uncharted games recently I feel like they straight up jacked the formula from that for Tomb Raider

[Tomwin Lannister]

Not abad thing tbh

Uncharted was just out of this fkn world.

Can't wait to see what ND can do on ps4.

[Twoism]

Different kind of Tomb Raider, it's more of action game now rather than platform/ puzzle like old ones. They actually did some research and the size of the tombs in the game is realistic unlike those huge ones from previous games. I like this naive Lara, fleshed out, although her body counts in the game rival Max Payne and her physical condition is at level of Wolverine. Make you wonder how she turned from this girl to cold blood sociopath.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I know a lot of people say that but im really not seeing it, even if its quite similar in some aspects its really a lot different in general.

Also besides its really irrelevant as its arguable that the uncharted ideas were basically ripped from the original Tomb Raider games.

[Juveman17]

Did anyone buy Rome Total War 2?


It's a great game, just has some graphics but atm bug they already announced a couple of patches.

Yeah, liked Tomb Raider too. 3rd fav game of the year behind BioShock and Last Of Us.

Currently playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Man I am loving it. It is very much like Chaos Theory which was freakin awesome. Finally, after 8 years we get the true sequel Chaos Theory deserved. Several gameplay elements from Conviction has also been borrowed, there are three playstyles: Ghost (classic Splinter Cell, non lethal stealth), Panther (Conviction, lethal stealth) and Assault (full combat). Aside from the single player, the co-op and multiplayer is awesome too. Spies vs Mercs, that Pandora Tomorrow vibe They borrowed all the best things from every Splinter Cell game

Except for Michael Ironside...

Seriously, Sam Fisher is Benjamin Button. Getting younger and faster as he grows older. Still great game. Might overtake Tomb Raider once I'm done with it.

New Killzone on PS4 is going to have dedicated servers apparently.

That is fantastic news for the PS4 in general tbh, if one of their first titles is going to have it then its very likely you'd imagine that most if not all PS4 online titles will have it also.
