Mónica Freitas Wow, bold of them to cite The Sims 3, I'm going to call their manager 😂 But I'm actually surprised that they didn't mention League of Legends. I never got the hype of it. Which of that list would you be interested to test it for yourself?

Limarc Ambalina Jack Boreham Khamisi Hamisi Daniel Guzman Allyson Blinkhorn What do you think?

Mónica FreitasDec 15, 2021, 7:20 PM

Sara Pinto I think you should! 😂

Mónica FreitasDec 15, 2021, 7:22 PM

Sara Pinto well, from the synopsis, I'd give God of War and Dragon Age a chance. One has to do with Greek mythology and the other with fantasy. Not sure if this appeals to you, but it does sound like something I'd like to try.

Sara PintoDec 16, 2021, 12:51 PM

Mónica Freitas Yes, I was thinking of God of War as well. I've played a little, and wouldn't say it's overrated, but I'm not the expert 😂

Jack BorehamDec 16, 2021, 2:08 PM

The Last of Us..... Limarc Ambalina come at me 😁😂

Jack BorehamDec 16, 2021, 2:09 PM

Mónica Freitas God of war is great, well the last game is good

Jack BorehamDec 16, 2021, 2:10 PM

I agree with a lot on this list, but God of War and Halo 3ODST don't deserve to be there

Mónica FreitasDec 16, 2021, 8:25 PM

Sara Pinto did you like it?

Mónica FreitasDec 16, 2021, 8:25 PM

Jack Boreham so you're telling me to forget everything but the last game...

Mónica FreitasDec 16, 2021, 8:26 PM

Sara Pinto Jack Boreham Does this mean, we're going to make a list of our own?

Sara PintoDec 20, 2021, 1:16 PM

Jack Boreham Haha why would you say it's overrated? I don't want any bickering here, it's a safe space, guys hahah

Sara PintoDec 20, 2021, 1:21 PM

Mónica Freitas Yes, if you are into greek mythology, I think you will enjoy this game. Also, in the last one, they inserted nordic mythology as well, which I thought was really interesting

Sara PintoDec 20, 2021, 1:22 PM

Mónica Freitas If you're forgetting some of the names on the list, you should forget The Sims 3 as well...:smiling_face_with_tear:

Mónica FreitasDec 20, 2021, 5:22 PM

Sara Pinto Uuuh, that's fun! Maybe I'll spend my Christmas day playing it.

Mónica FreitasDec 20, 2021, 5:23 PM

Sara Pinto I'll take your petition! 😂

Sara PintoDec 21, 2021, 12:58 PM

Mónica Freitas You have to give us a review after, so we can settle if it's actually overrated or not haha

Jack BorehamDec 21, 2021, 2:14 PM

Mónica Freitas, I think they all are Overrated apart from God of war and halo,

Jack BorehamDec 21, 2021, 2:16 PM

Sara Pinto, I don't like zombie settings. They give me the creeps. Plus, I think the stories are not as good as they say. It's one of these games that have reached God tier due to the prestige of the studio 😁

Mónica FreitasDec 21, 2021, 4:47 PM

Sara Pinto Deal!!!

Mónica FreitasDec 21, 2021, 4:49 PM

Jack Boreham Sara will kick you out for not mentioning Sims 😂

Limarc AmbalinaDec 23, 2021, 1:08 PM

THE LAST OF US IS NOT OVERRATED...it's just that I talk about it too much lol.

Limarc AmbalinaDec 23, 2021, 1:09 PM

But I'll start a beef and actually say the Grand Theft Auto Games...I've never been able to get into them. I don't get the appeal.

Sara PintoDec 23, 2021, 2:16 PM

Jack Boreham I see what you mean, there are some games that we just don't click with

Sara PintoDec 23, 2021, 2:20 PM

Limarc Ambalina I think I've to partially agree. I've played, and I don't mind, but I don't really get it haha. Maybe in part is because I'm not the best at it 😂
