The real issue with the Game Night concept is that we’re, primarly, Xbox gamers. We play on the Xbox moreso than we do PC, and we own a ton more games on it than we do for PC. We also tend to play Xbox more because sometimes hosting PC games can be unreliable due to the myriad of technical issues we sometimes come across. We also like games that have higher player counts, due to the amount of fans that typically join in.
With that in mind, the PC games that are options for us to play as of current are:
Halo CE
Minecraft
DOTA
Hawken
and uh… Terraria, I guess? Although server hosting is very inconsistent with that and we typically have to use Hamachi to host private servers so it likely wouldn’t be the best.
We’re all open for suggestions, but those are the games that will likely be on the table for PC pretty much permanently unless we all decide to start playing some new game and/or pick up a new game for the Game Nights.
On the Xbox, these are our options (factoring in player count which is very important due to the high turnouts for Xbox Game Nights)
Xbox 360:
Halo Reach
Halo 4
Modern Warfare 3
Black Ops (literally only I have it but Eljay may pick it up one day)
Xbox One:
Master Chief Collection
Titanfall
Destiny (would be a stretch due to low player counts but feasible)
Grand Theft Auto V
Those are pretty much all our options for the forseeable future; the cold, hard facts. Message Boards exclusive game nights will likely only be for Xbox in the future because with Xbox games, we usually have TOO MANY people. PC games tend to be more niche (except for Minecraft which will likely cause a frenzy). Hopefully we can open up some more avenues for Game Nights n the future, but hopefully this post will clear up some confusion and ease some disappointments.
You guys should do a Star Wars: The Old Republic game night.
It’s easy to play.
How it works if we wanna have a competition:
Everyone who participates makes a new character, and starts around roughly the same time.
Light Side Team Leader: Meso
Dark Side Team Leader: Eljay
We’ll need an even amount of players on each side.
Whichever team ends up with the higher level players wins by the end of the game night. If any people on the same side choose the same class, they’re allowed to party up, as long as they don’t use exploits.
Also, if a whole team (unlikely) goes the same class, they are allowed to party up and do quests.
