Title: What computer games do you play?
Post by: watduzhkstand4 on Fri, 21 August 2009, 00:37:14
I'm mostly on TF2 now. I used to play 1.6 and CZ competitively.

This is my current TF2 server, so if you play, come stop by sometime!
67.84.99.26:27015

So what games do you play? (;

Other than some flash games and solitaire I really don't play games.

On the flash games side right now I'm pretty much addicted to Tower defence type of games. Right now that is GemCraft chaper 0 where my score is a little over 3mil.

Been playing Final Fantasy XI for a few years now, though I'll probably be switching over to Aion when it goes live next month.  Took vacation from work for launch week :biggrin1:

I play a different game depending on the mood I'm in, and what I've played recently.

Steam really keeps the best records of what I've been playing:

Nice, I also play tf2, watduz - although I've cut back quite a bit until they get their class additions cleared up so not everyone is rolling Sniper and randomly shooting with a Huntsman over and over :P

I just got done play Fallout 3 and hitting level cap (for the second time) and doing all the DLC's as well. Great additions to the game, especially Broken Steel. Definitely leaves you wanting more.

Since then, I've been playing Gran Turismo 4 with my racing frame and wheel. It's been cool so far, immersive as hell. But I've been spending more time sharpening my trade (front end web development) so I haven't had as much time for games as I want :(

Sounds like some friends of mine. They also took off and played 40 hours straight on the beta weekends. They also teamed up and made their characters look like some anime girl couple. :rolleyes:

For some reason MMORPGs dont seem to hold my attention anymore. It just feels all the same to me.

Personally I only play Pangya, which is some silly Korean fantasy golf game which consists mostly of playing something like golf with badly modelled, low polygon but big breasted girls, often placed in a swimsuit (http://i31.tinypic.com/eq9if8.jpg). I play nothing else any more. No games seem to keep my attention for long. This is the only one I kept coming back to since about 5 years now.

I play both the American server (http://pangya.ntreev.net/), as well as the Korean one (http://pangya.ntreev.com/).

I agree that this is not a good year PC gamers. Arkham Asylum looks interesting. I liked the demo, but it may forces to install GFWL which would be a dealbreaker for me.

Gran Turismo and TF2 are my favorite! I'm just hoping they can release the 5th one now along with the one for PSP. I've been looking forward to getting them for so long now.

It's no fun if it doesn't feel like work, so I mostly play Openttd and Sim City 4 if I'm in the mood, which isn't very often.
I occasionally (i.e. a few times per year) play some Starcraft or other LAN games with some of my friends as well. Apart from that, not much.

Quake III Arena!!!!!

Anyone remember that game?  Well I believe it to be the greatest game ever made.  Anyway, other than that, old school FPS games like quake, doom and I like some of the newer ones as well   +1 for HL2E3!!!  I also like me some gameboy zelda games!

If you like Quake III Arena, you'll love QuakeLive (http://www.quakelive.com/). It's basically Q3A in a browser, and puts you on servers that have players similar to your play style.

Unreal Tournament 99, and NFS:MW, the odd flash game on the inturwebs.

QuakeLive is great.  I used to play Q3a a lot but it seemed to die down.  I've been playing QuakeLive for a while and its bringing back all the old memories.  I don't play frequently though.  Just the occasional game here and there.  Usually when I want to sit down and play an FPS for a while, I go to UT2K4.

The base game has been outshined by other games IMO, but the user generated content on there is just so much fun.  I'm a sucker for Excessive Weapons, RPG servers, Slim Pickin Deemers, and C&C maps.

Well now I haven't posted here in a while.... umm I don't really play games however I do play SFIV competitively as well as waiting for Diablo 3 to come out :D ~

I recently played through d2 as an lightning/orb mage and then again as a frost zealot paladin. Amazing how old that game is, and it's kept my interest longer than cod4(WaW, not MW). d3 should own, assuming Blizzard doesn't go the same route as WoW and make it super casual baby mode

I have a couple friends that play sf4 competitively, they're god damn nuts. The only thing we have in common is we like switches (they prefer sanwa over cherry :P )

Oh something else I found myself doing
playing the Chrono Trigger snes rom. I do this about once every year or so. Play the game, use frameskip to farm mobs at 10x speed, beat the game, newgame+, solo lavos with Chrono, and then retire the game

Keeps my mind fresh on how amazing of a game that is. I play Secret of Mana/Evermore about once a year too.

I've been playing it quite a bit with friends, not training for tournies or anything (haven't done that in a while).  Very fun.

I with you on being able to play for 20 minutes at a time.  My kids are now all into WoW, so I maintain a character or two there, but hate the overall idea of having to log so much time.  Loved Starcraft (still play on ocassion)...can't wait to get my hands on Starcraft 2.

Probably the only reason I still have my Wii (well..and there's some exclusive titles no one can live without playing). I have a feeling I'll never grow out of gaming. I've been doing it since I was a tiny kid with our Atari 2600 (which went to the attic, and then sold at a garage sale, rest in peace). I play games now more than ever...damn me for having such a disposable income

I think there is a very good chance I'll be getting a PS3 when GT5 finally hits.  I have put a lot of time into all the Gran Turismos.  GT3a and GT4 I stopped playing around when they started being mostly endurance races though.  I can't put a few straight hours into a game like that.  But even with stopping at the endurance races, I still had more fun with them than 99% of the other games I have played.  

With GT4, once I only had endurance races left, I just did drifting races and time trials on the ring and was quite content.  That game made drifting into something you could really spend time getting good at.  I tried GRiD but the drift races were just too easy.  I think GT4 spoiled me.

I think that nearly anything from Valve makes for a fantastic game. I've logged upwards of 300 hours in TF2 since 2007. All of the Half-Lifes (really looking forward to Black Mesa Source), Trackmania Nations Forever, and Audiosurf are installed on my computer at any given time. I also keep a copy of Ratchet & Clank around just because the game's so damn fun.

I played the sniper team games as Doctor Eclipse of the Valiant Clan in Unreal Tournament until around 2004. A combination of tendinitis and being constantly swamped by the business I started in 2003 ended my playing days. The death of my MicroConnectors keyboard didn't help either. I think the loss of that keyboard may have had something to do with the worsening of my tendinitis because if you've ever played the run 'n gun sniper game or instagib in Unreal Tournament, it's very hard on your hands even with good equipment.

I don't really play anything anymore except for some occasional Flash games or a strategy game like Hordes of Orcs... no time and I can't afford to risk my hands. :(

Buuuuut, my new Filco Brown should get here soon and mebbe I can fire up an ol' beloved FPS for old times sake. Then I would just have to find some time.

Currently playing Heroes of Newerth, which is a stand-alone game based off of the Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III. There are a lot of gameplay and UI improvements that are pushing DotA players to transition over. It also works on PC, Mac and Linux too so it's very accessible.

It's currently in a closed beta but I have two invites left if anyone is interested. If you've never played DotA before, it's a game with one of the highest learning curves.

Absolutely great games. Assuming you played them in the correct order:


You really get to see one of the better video game "stories" unfold right from the beginning. It's a very "satisfying" series to get through because you actually follow the characters and how they develop through it (though OpForce and Blue Shift don't really go anywhere, they're still decent games)

Joking aside it's a great series, and depending on how you play the game (pay attention to what's going on, or just run through killing stuff getting frustrated when the gameplay slows you down) you'll either notice it or remain oblivious to it.

Sometimes CS 1.6 and Quake Live at LAN-parties, but that's about it. I would play more FPS but I seem to get sick after 20 or so minutes of gameplay. Got something to do with my vision.

Not a crappy Console Port?

Let me get back to you on that.


Uh... there's many good games for computers. Better than stupid consoles. The DOS versions of games with redbook audio were always superior. I'm surprised so many people forgot the good old classics of the past, which, are still superior to shoddy games made today. In fact, I think I'm going to play some lands of lore 1 later on my 300PL.

What games give you motion sickness the worst?

For me I just discovered my nemesis. I can't play Portal for more than 30 minutes at a time or I start getting nausea. It surprised me how sick it made me because there's not a lot of bobbing in Portal. There's something else about how the movement is done that is getting to me.

The only other game that really gave me fits was an old Lucasfilms FPS, Dark Forces. I'm sure others will bother me too, but I don't play much.

The odd thing is that I have very little susceptibility to motion sickness in real life and have always had a really good ability to suppress dizziness by tuning out inner ear stimuli.

The odd thing is that I have very little susceptibility to motion sickness in real life and have always had a really good ability to suppress dizziness by tuning out inner ear stimuli.


Do you have seizures?

I don't get motion sickness from any game, maybe it's because of the large DPI on some games. I find it a lot easier to play on CRTs with low resolutions opposed to LCDs with high DPI.

I'm currently playing Grim Fandango. Absolute classic. I started playing again from scratch in March, on Windows 7, and it still plays flawlessly despite being a Windows 95/98 era game. The graphics look a little dated, but actually not that bad, and the story, musical score and overall design outweighs any roughness to the graphics.

Once I've finished Grim Fandango I might move onto Sam & Max. I have the original DOS game and also the first series of the new episodic games. Those too, I recommend.

If I'm not playing that sort of game, I like to have a quick mess around in one of the GTA series games. Hardly ever play the missions though; prefer to go on a mindless rampage.

I remember seeing Grim Fandango being sold alongside Lords of the Realm 2 at futureshop. That was a glorious time when all of the games were special and you could pick up something that was fun.
However, I never bought the fandango game; I didn't have a "3D card" installed in my 300PL at the time. And when I got a TNT one, I couldn't figure how to set it up, so, we just returned it. Damn! I was very young at the time though, so, give me a break.

Instead I just frown as I enter bestbuy or futureshop... nothing good anymore. I think they even stopped selling age of empires 2 last year.

Well, better finish building my repertoire of old games and finish them all. Almost finished caesar 3...

Half Life 2 gets to me if I start playing it after a long break. Once I play it for a while I seem to build up some tolerance.

Nothing worse than a sudden impulse to vomit just as you're starting to enjoy yourself.

But when everything works I have years of game releases to catch up with.

First real post... I got started gaming in Gemstone III/IV. Still love it though I'm not currently active. EQII overlapped when I had time for 2 games. Now I have time for neither sadly.

After finding out about Mechanical keyboards I wonder how I survived a purely text game with a logitech. (Any game really)

I do still play PS3 games (Buzz/Heavenly Sword/Rock Band) and like short fun games for breaks at work (TextTwist type)

We also love board games and having game nights with friends. That is where I have the most fun. (Ever tried Jungle Speed? Serious fun)

My husband is dreading the day my chosen mechanical gets here once I find it. That is, until he tries it :)

One thing that annoys me is that people ask about other's interests and yet show no interest in communicating! "I play MBD, ADHD, D2 (8 years now), MCI, FTL, GTFO... the list goes on and on!". If these people really wanted to talk about games with other people, they'd realize that not everyone else knows what abbreviations they use in their particular game community.

I mean, it's one thing when we're rambling on at the D2:HU boards - then it's all acronyms but that's inside the group and there's a FAQ handy to get inside the lingo.

Some abbreviations can be safely assumed well-known, such as FPS, (MMO)RPG, PS3 and other generic gaming terms.

(In case someone didn't get the joke: D2 is Diablo 2; HU is the Hell Unleashed mod. I've stopped playing it since I got my Playstation 3. So much fun to be had there!)

I've finished all three... but I really had to grit my teeth considering how buggy the games were. Shadow of Chernobyl was tolerable as long as you weren't moving through the Military Warehouses area. Clear Sky crashed frequently for me, but there wasn't any rhyme or reason to it. Call of Pripyat crashed on average every 15-20 minutes. Getting through that was a labor of love, and I absolutely wouldn't tolerate that **** for any other game.

Star Control II was the last game I forced myself to play that crashed that often.

Starcraft2 better save the PC Gaming industry or a lot of Gamerz at OCN are going to be wondering...

You want to know what happened to the PC gaming industry? Look no further than the XBOX. Who wants to develop for a fractured platform when you can develop for a standardized platform that is almost, but not quite, just like a PC? The only downside being the licensing and approval process, compared to publishing on PC, where you can get your ESRB/CERO/PEGI etc rating, then push to market. The related upshot being a significantly smaller QA budget, and not having to keep a team on standby supporting a product after launch that, say... mysteriously won't work on Nvidia chipsets of xx.xx driver revision. Or any number of other scenarios that we run into, for that matter.

PC has the RTS and MMORPG genres sewn up tight, but has lost its grip on FPS.

You must be under some curse... or I'm blessed (which I doubt) since I went through Call of Pripyat without any real crash/problem...
I've bought all three STALKER at the same time, but I am yet to play the first two, most probably because I'm lazy about finding the proper mods to use.

Besides that it's been mostly Quake 3 (Quake Live killed the fairplay that Q3 had), Call of Duty 4, World of Warcraft since day zero, with occasional FPS and RPG (and the mix of those) now and then (Bioshock, Borderlands and the likes).

Nowadays I'm on Planescape: Torment.

Out of all the game's I've played on various PCs throughout the years, the only games I've had problems with were the 3 Stalker titles, and Star Control II. Everything else I've ever played has run well. Stalker (in general) is just weird like that: some people have zero problems, others crash like crazy. Sadly, that's the price you pay for creating an engine that attempts to heavily leverage DirectX 8,9,10, and 11 features in the same runtime. Looking through the crash logs, I see that the majority of my crashes come from AI problems, and the rest come from general graphics hiccups. I can drop back to DirectX 8 rendering, and that will cut my crashes by ~50% or so, but the game looks like ass, comparably speaking of course!

Title: What computer games do you play?
Post by: Zalusithix on Fri, 28 May 2010, 18:38:01
Bleh... OnLive is such a gimmick. 720p? Computer gamers have been playing at resolutions higher than that for ages - all without the compression artifacts and potential lag issues that OnLive will have. That and OnLive will crap out every time your net connection hiccups. Better hope you don't have quotas either 'cause gaming will use a hell of a lot more bandwidth over OnLive.

OnLive on a conceptual level will never be able to reach the quality that a real gaming PC will provide. It's a game being rendered at a server farm where each supercomputer/cluster will be rendering for multiple people at the same time (and also wasting cycles on compressing the video for sending to the player). Thus they'd need in the very least the aggregate computational power of the gaming rigs that each person would otherwise have. Given the power of modern day graphics cards and CPUs, this simply isn't possible. There's no hardware on earth that would allow them to match that power in a cost effective manner. Let alone set up multiple farms of such hardware for latency issues.

It's like trying to equal the computational power of the distributed Folding@home network on a single supercomputer. It just isn't going to happen. And even if you somehow could do it, the cost would be so prohibitive that it'd be insane to make a business out of it. Especially with the rate that hardware advances.

The only way it can do what it does is by running the games at lower settings and resolutions than somebody with a real gaming rig would want to. At best they'll be console level graphics. And in that case, just get a damn console. At least then you'll own physical copies of your games and not be affected by your internet dropping out for a moment.
Title: What computer games do you play?
Post by: Mercen_505 on Fri, 28 May 2010, 23:49:33
Onlive is an interesting idea, sort of an "end game" scenario (pun not intended) for publishers where they control content through a totally fixed pipeline, and can extract whatever money they want in the process. Personally, I'm not looking forward to that day.

That said, the United States lacks the net infrastructure to make something like this work for anything but simple games. The beta clearly indicated that, from the numerous reports I've read. I have no reason to doubt them. Latency is going to bury this service. Supposedly puzzle games were fine, and racing games were laggy yet playable, and anything intense was outright unplayable. No surprise there.

The other problem is going to be that as resolutions push past 720p, no amount of compression is going to allow them to render a frame and toss it back to you in the amount of time needed to not notice lag. By the time the US' net infrastructure gets upgraded to support this, we'll be well past it in terms of resolution.

It's a neat idea, but I would imagine it's at least a decade away from being a viable service.

make the Stalker games rival ANY games graphics and the AI is like no other. Lots of shooter/RPG elements in these and their not easy. However the pure atmosphere of dread in the "Zone" is quite unmatched. The graphics turned up are amazing in a rough/gritty way...not the beauty of "Crysis".  It is true that the engine is maxed out for its age but its a lotta fun for me. These true PC-only games are not for the plug-n-play crowd.
There is much to experiment with. Like this....

I mostly play SC2, Minecraft, Guild Wars when I can be arsed and the occasional MW2 game. Yes, MW2 is bad, but it requires no effort to play and there's no pressure, so it's nice for shutting down the brain for brief periods.

Been playing more SC: BW lately, hoping I'll get more into it as it's fantastic, but sort of hard to play for me since RTS doesn't come naturally to me like FPS games do.


I also tend to play some Oblivion, Splinter Cell: Conviction, CoD4, Crysis 2, Dragon Age and Diablo 2, though those see somewhat less action than the others.

Most of my multiplayer adventures are with a good friend of mine, and when I play singleplayer games we're still on skype a lot of the time.

I discovered SpaceChem (http://store.zachtronicsindustries.com/product/spacechem) 24 hours ago and have since been playing it with nary a pause. Holy cow, what a game. It challenges you to design a pair of robots that act in parallel to assemble atoms into molecules. It's nerdalicious! Obsessive-compulsives and tinkering types will love it. If you collect mechanical keyboards,  you should probably check it out.

On and off of Runescape for many, many years. I'm sober for about a year or so. I started playing back in Runescape Classic, and didn't really get good. All in all, I was way too ADD to get anywhere close to level 99 in anything. Part of me loves it, and a part of me died.

Also many years of playing flash games. Sometimes I like to go and have a little dose.

Used to have an Xbox until it broke. Now I play a PS2.

As far as games I own, I'm way behind. Just got addicted for about a week straight a month ago for AOE II because it was at Wal-Mart for $10.

That doesn't mean I don't know how to play. I beat my friends who own GT5, Forza 3, and Forza 2. I can hold my own on Halo and CoD. And yes, I probably play more on my friends' PS3s and 360s than anything else.

And I'll kick your ass in Mario Kart: Double Dash.

I have my bit of nostalgia this week and i'm gonna play
Star Control 2
if anyone saw that and is nostalgic too, the company released the source code almost 10 years ago and the community has recreated the game to work with modern computer systems and is a free download with all the 3do graphics and sound files
http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

Star Control 2, imo is the grandfather of all major galactic plotlines in almost every good videogame created now. IMO bioware is based entirely on how Star Control drives the story, again this is NOT current gen or even previous gen graphics. this is like 1992 graphics, with just the best storyline ever created.

I replayed Star Control 2 about a year ago, though I did so through Dosbox rather than this version. It's one of the games that has stood the test of time and is still enjoyable now - many of my other favourites of the 90s have not fared so well in comparison, though I still play Master of Orion 1 and sometimes 2 still.

Anyone who doesn't shy away from older stuff should definitely give Star Control 2 a try. One of the best games ever released.

Well, I'm mostly into the competitive side of things. First PC FPS that I played multiplayer was CoD2 in '06, still play that every now and then. Call of Duty 4 for LANs + online leagues, though I don't play it actively anymore due to gaining an increased amount of bad rep on the CyberGamer website. Playing in a league for Black Ops but it's pretty much dead due to no mod tools. Really enjoying Quake Live and trying to get good at it fast, main reason sort of laying off the CoD series since it's just a dead spastic game with no skill involved. Play some single player games sometimes, played Portal 2 and it was terrible compared to the first. 1.6 + CS:S whenever friends want to PUG or I get asked to slut. Play some Visual Novels/Eroges sometimes. Recently I picked up osu! and it's a GREAT game, fun to play and I swear it increases aim in FPS ;)

I regard it as my personal greatest game of all time so far, no nostalgia involved...and this is coming from someone who's played games like System Shock 2 and Deus Ex. Needless to say, I'm not stating that lightly.

Funny thing is, it's on GOG now, bundled with the first game for $5.99. (Probably the DOS version.) Since SC2:UQM is legal freeware now, that basically makes it $6 for the original, which I have yet to play.

Oh, and for those who like SC2:UQM, look into Starflight and its sequel. They pretty much laid the groundwork for what would become SC2, and Paul Reiche III is even in the Special Thanks section of the credits. (That has to be more than mere coincidence.)

Borderlands, Quake Live, World of Warcraft, and sometimes others. Quake 4, and Unreal 3 occasionally. Though my main game these days is quake live for competitive play, but when I'm just goofing off borderlands. Both games have impeccable mousing, which I love.

Bah Quake Live killed the good spirit in Quake 3 IMO.

Back in the days, when people dropped off a team and there'd be an imbalance, people from other team would fill the gap.
Now when some guy chickens out and quit (for instance), it's a snowball effect because nobody fills the gap, as it would hinder stats...

Indeed but I think WoW competitor would be SWTOR, with the established story and massive following. I'm done with WoW though. If SWTOR doesn't pan out the way we are expecting to be, We will have GW2 to fall back on. :P

hi! while this will be my first actual post on these forums. i've actually been lurking like crazy (or so it feels) for a few weeks now. something oddly addicting when it comes to the world (yeah, world. i only just recently how in depth and hardcore keyboard technology got) of mechanical keyboards.

anyways. on to the point. i gamed HEAVILY on a 15 inch laptop scissor switch keyboard for over 4 years. i just recently switched over to a desktop. my muscle memory was soo developed and used to the compact layout of my laptops keyboard that i said "screw it" and went to fry's and bought a wireless scissor switch keyboard with a similar layout too it because i was soo used to how typing and gaming on my laptop felt. i didn't want to "relearn" and re develop my muscle memory for a standard layout. my laptop keyboard always worked out well for me. or so i thought at least.

anyways. i'm an avid starcraft 2 player. high masters throughout, although i haven't consistently solo'd since season 1 though. somehow i stumbled accros what hardware pros used on the teamliquid forums or something and read something real brief about mechanical keyboards. basically just breezed or skimmed over it and said whatever to myself when i saw it if you know what i mean. thing is. mechanical keyboards just in general throughout the community kept popping up more and more often i saw. don't ask me how. but i stumbled upon this website. it was probably motivated by the fact that my "laptop esque" mini wireless keyboard wasn't really satisfying me. i'm not particularly picky , [(or so i'd like to think lol )[/u] so the thing just flat out wasn't going to work out if i was having troubles with the same thing still.anyways....

commence project "BLOWING MY MIND OPEN TO THE WORLD OF MECHANICAL KEYBOARDS." i was soo hooked on lurking this site as well as gathering outside information such as the mechanical keyboard guide over at overclock.net that i basically studied up on mechanical keyboards for a good 2 weeks or so i'd guess. my only real reluctance in regards to maybe getting one was the steep price most mechanicals go for. if i were to tell a good bunch of the people i socialize with how much i spent on a keyboard recently they'd look at me like i was crazy for instance.

to make an extremely tl;dr OP thread short for your guys sakes. i ended up buying a cherry g80-3494 mx red switch board for $170. i also spent $40 on a g81-1138hbu ( a MY switch board ) [/b] for the doubleshotted off white colored keykaps to use on the g80. (yes i'm aware i spent well than more than what i could have potentially have on both boards or something equivelant but your guys god damn website broke me one night and i just splurged on ebay. by the way. typing on a MY switch board is an absolute horror. those things have to have be made with durability in regards to their life expectancy for POS or something as well as cheapness as their top 2 priorities right?  

in the end.  OH MY GOD TYPING AND PLAYING ON A MX RED SWITCH KEYBOARD IS AMAZING. PARTICULARLY IN COMPARISON TO MY OLD LAPTOP SCISSOR SWITCH.

PLEASE ENLIGHTEN MORE PEOPLE WHO SPEND A SIGNIFICANT TIME ON THE COMPUTER HOW AMAZING MECHANICAL KEYBOARDS ARE!

anyways. hope this wasn't tl;dr for too many of you guys. thx =P



p.s.    interesting little tidbit. after having ordered my g80 and g81 kap harvest board i went looking through my families old computer crap while it was being shipped here. this god damn website got me hooked on mechanical keyboards like it was crack cocaine. and i couldn't ever rationalize to anybody why lol. either way. i found a old full sized 1994 ibm model m of my dads and started using it while my new boards were being shipped. ( also sexy as hell to type on. however a model m buckling spring board isn't exactly ideal for what i gauged my preferences in a keyboard to be after all my studying, in the gaming department at least. but still badass nonetheless from everything i've gathered and read about mechanical keyboard history. )

I used to be a pretty heavy CS:S player. Nothing spectacular, but there was a time I could hold my own on office with better players. Other than that, skyrim and Mount and Blade, mostly.

Now nothing at all. I played the aoe series quite a bit when I was younger (I think my highest elo was just shy of 2k playing what was considered the worst country). Then came CS:S where I was ok at (I could hold my own in esea scrims and I played with/against a few cgs players back in the day). More recently I was playing wow but I sold my account recently so now I'm not playing anything. I have Skyrim and a few other newer games but I haven't played any for over a month now. The only game I'm looking forward to atm is CS:GO. I tried LoL but its just not my kind of game.  To be honest competitive games with huge and or variable time requirements just really turn me off. I like fps games like CS where the rounds are usually based on time.

Lately I've been playing a heap of BF3, mostly. I also play the STALKER games (particlularly LURK modded Shadow of Chernobyl) and Skyrim (although I've stopped playing that lately because I became way too powerful and it stopped being challenging). Used to play a lot of Minecraft, but I've kind of got bored with that lately.

Ace Combat is easily my favourite game franchise, though. I've played all of the PS2 and X360 games, and the PS2 titles are all amazing. The two for X360 were pretty good, too. Working my way through the PSP titles now, as I only just bothered buying a PSP. So good to be playing a strangereal Ace Combat game again for the first time, becuase I didn't really like the new real-world X360 game that came out recently.

Oh, and I still play heaps of Crash Team Racing with my brother. Pretty sure we'd be number 1 and 2 in the world at CTR by now. I'll fight anyone who says that any of the Mario Kart are even remotely close to being as good as CTR.

This, I've been pretty much everywhere you can go in the game. It's one of the best, if not the best game that I've played in a long time and don't even care if it was ported to pc, the game is great.

You could max archery and kill people from a distance in 1 shot, good times.

I started playing Skyrim, but then my husband took over my game and I cannot pry him away.  I also play DC Universe Online a lot, although I haven't logged in for a couple of weeks since I've been really busy at work.

I tried SW:TOR in beta but didn't like it; too much repetative clicking, basically a standard MMO.  DCUO is a bit more action-y.

back to "how do you play skyrim" I've got 3 different chars, so it depends on my mood. I'll play my Nord if I want to run around like a wandering badass hunting wolves with my bow or bashing skulls with my 2 handed warhammer (odd combo, I know). He's level 42 or so.

I've got a mage that i don't play much because i'm still on novice/apprentice level spells and am tired of getting 1shot by dragons who bite my head off while i'm hiding behind a rock waiting for my Magicka to regen. (Level 6 IIRC)

Probably my favorite ATM is my sneaky theives guild murderer/theif, It's not at all my personality in real life because i'm a puss, so it's pretty fun. Also it's badass playing MGS style, slicing open foreheads due to the weird models of Skyrim. (level 18~)

@Malphas scary as ****. But now I'm through it, I miss it. I've never experienced such an atmosphere in any game before. The game gives you some breaks with puzzle-parts just right before you get mad ^^. I only can recommend playing it and do what Frictional Games says: In the beginning they tell you to play with headphones and in a dark room => this multiplies all the impressions!
Would love to hear your thoughts when you've begun :D

The multiplayer game I play most consistently is Nuclear Dawn, but I also play Red Orchestra, Battlefield 3, Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam, and some others occasionally, as well.

Other than that, I mostly play single-player games.  I'm playing through Batman: Arkham Asylum and Metro 2033 right now.  I just put a dedicated PhysX card in my computer, so I'm going back to the PhysX games that I skipped before because I couldn't stand playing them without seeing the best graphics possible. :P

Also, if anyone's interested, I just started a new blog/site this year where I'm "chronicling" a lot of my game experiences: http://ingamestories.com

There's only one game worth mentioning. Starcraft 2.

All joking aside, I also enjoy Tribes: Ascend. God that game is ridiculously fun and satisfying. I've also been playing a bit of Anno 2070. Just started on it though, so I'm not super familiar with it yet. It's pretty fun though and seems like it'll suck up a lot of time once I figure it out. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is coming out soon, but I'm not sure if I'll get that on console or PC. Other than that, I don't really find any other PC game worth playing. Every MMO is the same. BF3 is meh. Skyrim's combat killed the fun after 130 hours. DX: HR only lasted 80 hours. Maybe I'm just being cynical.

Anyone here playing Red Orchestra 2? I bought a copy on a bit of a whim the other day, and I've been playing through the campaign so far. Its OK: the controls are dumb and its buggy as hell. Really don't like the tank sections, but playing as infantry is pretty fun.
Had to ragequit last night because my tank stopped working, even though it wasn't reading any damage, and I couldn't get out, and there was no enemies around to kill me.

It'll be interesting to see how multiplayer goes - it certainly has potential, because the main thing stopping it from being fun at the moment is stupid enemy AI.

I have been playing ROHOS2 every since the beta came out, its a challenging game, with 70% realism in it (the other 30% that are missing the old RO1 vets rave about and refuse to play the new RO2 game until the classic  hardcore mode is not implemented) To type all that is wanted from the classic mode it will take a lot of typing, I can explain you that another day.

As for the game itself its a very good game, not a great game like RO1, but its getting there, they still working on it, fixing it, TWI already have new maps which will be free and they will launch the beta servers for testing it. We already have 3 maps from the community that are made, 1 is being played the other 2 are being polished as we speak. So in other words this game will get tons of attention in time, but when the hardcore mode gets implied then all the vet from RO1 will jump ship for good and we will see even more new contets, mutators and what not else.

As for the gameplay,... I play this game with monstrosity, its tough as nails, 1 shot kill except if u get shot in the arms or legs and be able to hide and bandage in time if you dont get picked again aoffcourse. Its all about team play, they are other modes in the game but almost everybody plays Teritory.

MP is where this game is at, I played the SP for maeby 1 hour and that was it, was just to mess around. If you want to enjoy MP hellhole add me to steam, my steam name is SolitarioSoldat and I will give u a sort of guide in the game and show you descent good server thats full 24/7 64 players non stop.

Yeah I think there is generally too much going on in the scene of competitive SC2. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people feel like you, regarding the lack of time for watching what they want to. Even GSL alone is sooo much time you can spend on a broadcast.
I feel the same :/

Yeah, I kind of have an obsessive personality.  If I feel like I can't keep up with 80-100% of the matches, then I don't really feel like watching any - because then I feel like I'm missing too much.  I don't have to watch every match, but it's even hard to keep up with match reports and other little recap shows.

But, I feel that is something that will get better over time as eSports becomes more established.  I feel like there will have to be something like Kespa that will organize leagues and keep players from playing too much (that will be different than Kespa...).  There may still be different tournaments, but I think it will be more like college bowls - it's still part of the overall schedule (worked into every other match/tournament), but it allows the sponsors and different venues to host.

I don't know, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. :P

@FKSSR
Nono you're absolutely right. Starcraft 2 needs something like Kespa, it would be much more organized and easier to follow.
This is just the beginning of an new era I would say and I honestly feel exactly the same as you said in your first two sentences. There's way too much stuff that you could follow. So I end up with just trying to sort out what I really want to watch but can't decide. On the other side I don't just want to watch any match ... But after what you said I'm happy that I'm not the only one ^^
Let's hope for changes there :)

Back to Red Orchestra 2... Just played my first few rounds of multiplayer. It was actually heaps of fun, although it's clear I've got plenty of learning to do. Having trouble telling Axis/Allies apart at a distance, which is a pain when I'm playing as a marksman. Got a lot of team kills in my first couple of games. Really looking forward to playing a lot more of this.

It was weird.
I played two rounds, which were full of me blasting teammates, and then I topped my third match. It was a small server, there were only six a side plus bots, but I was still pretty chuffed.
We were defending the grain elevator gatehouse against the Germans, and I was a rifleman, absolutely carving the incoming Germans up.
It kind of felt too easy: a bullet to the chest was generally an instant kill, which is completely different to what I'm used to with BF3.
I'm assuming a server full of humans is completely different (much harder) though, because the bots all seemed pretty dumb.

I played RO2 when it came out.  I certainly like it better than any mainstream MP game, partly due to the realism but it also has no balance issues or tacked on crap like other games (perks/streaks from CoD, nonsense weapon attachments from CoD/Battlefield).  With that being said, these games never last me very long.  Lately I've mostly been playing Skyrim along with some ArmA 2: Combined Ops, but I'm also finishing HL2 for the first time since I just got it during the Christmas Steam sale.  I'm quite late with that!  It seems a tad overrated but still beats out most FPS games.

Just like gaming was the killer app for the iPad and Touch.
Just because a few AAA PC ports were bad (Skyrim, I'm looking at your UI) and people pay more attention to PC pirating than console pirating doesn't mean PC gaming is dying. Also, I can't tell if the post you linked is serious or just a really odd joke.

BF3
DCS: A-10C
LockOn: Flaming Cliffs 2
IL2: Cliffs of Dover
Rise of Flight
ArmA 2
Left for Dead 2

Here's a question. Whats DCS-A10-C like?
To clarify a bit, I've got a really good understanding of the mechanics of flight, I've been an armchair Ace Combat pilot since I was a kid (I realise thats not the most realistic flight sim out), and I've learnt a lot by way of the fact that my Dad has his pilot's license (recreational).

Reviews for DCS: A-10C seem to all say two things:
That its hard, which I don't mind, as long as its not needlessly punishing.
That its very realistic. What I think they meant by that was 'boring'. Do you have to go through all the rigorous take-off procedures etc., just to do the flying. I understand some people are into the in-depth simulation, but I'd much rather just get to the flying.

Can you comment on how in-depth the simulation is? Does it sound like something I'd like, or should I keep playing Ace Combat?

Here's a question. Whats DCS-A10-C like?
To clarify a bit, I've got a really good understanding of the mechanics of flight, I've been an armchair Ace Combat pilot since I was a kid (I realise thats not the most realistic flight sim out), and I've learnt a lot by way of the fact that my Dad has his pilot's license (recreational).

Reviews for DCS: A-10C seem to all say two things:
That its hard, which I don't mind, as long as its not needlessly punishing.
That its very realistic. What I think they meant by that was 'boring'. Do you have to go through all the rigorous take-off procedures etc., just to do the flying. I understand some people are into the in-depth simulation, but I'd much rather just get to the flying.

Hi man, Ace Combat 6 was probably the first flight game I played frequently, I dabbled in a few other games when I was a lot younger but none as much as AC6. I spent countless hours scraping buildings on free flight haha

DCS: A-10C is pretty time consuming, it could take months to understand it all. This is one way to sum up just how realistic it is: Wags, the Produce of Eagle Dynamics (the people who make DCS sims) had the opportunity to try out a real A-10C simulator that's used to train future A-10C pilots in the USAF. He was able to start up, request takeoff, taxi, takeoff, navigate to the target, deploy weapons on the target, arrange an aerial refuelling, refuel, navigate home, request landing, land, shut down. 99% of that knowledge came from playing DCS: A-10C. So it is very detailed. My Uncle is a pilot in the Royal Navy, and he described DCS: A-10C as "nails". There are keyboard shortcuts for startup etc, but in order to be effective and use every system to its potential then you will have to read and understand the vast majority of the 671 page manual.

Flaming Cliffs 2 quite a bit easier than A-10C. It's not as simple as Ace Comabat or HAWX - they're more arcade games than simulators. I'd definitely recommend buying it first, you will be able to pick it up quicker and you can enjoy the actual flying and dogfighting.

A lot of people say you need a Hotas or even just a Joystick to enjoy flight simulators, and I have to agree. I couldn't imagine playing with a keyboard and mouse, it really would ruin the experience for me. You can get a decent Joystick that will do the job for around £40, which is roughly $60-$65? If you want to get into it then the Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas would be a good starter.

Good luck!

In all honesty, that really wasn't my favourite AC title. The three on PS2 were absolutely amazing, but Ace Combat 5 ('The Unsung War', or 'Squadron Leader', depending on where you're from) is my favourite game of all time. Absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. Having said that, AC6 was not a bad game at all, it just had a lot to live up to in my eyes after the PS2 titles.

I was going to get myself a copy of one of the other IL-2 Sturmovik games (the one that was on consoles) but I never got around to it. I've read a couple of reviews of Cliffs of Dover that sounded pretty disappointed, so I didn't bother looking anymore into that one. Sounds to me like I should look into Flaming Cliffs 2. Cheers!

The problem with IL-2 Cliffs of Dover was that when it was released it was really badly optimized and had an awful lot of bugs and glitches. That has pretty much been completely fixed and plays just fine now. You could try out IL-2 Wings of Prey, it's basically another arcade type game but it's also really enjoyable.

Thats almost exactly what I play now, minus the tribes. Never got into tribes, I was always into Quake and Unreal more often. I also play some All Points Bulletin (APB) off and on to mix it up. If  now your curious and you've never heard of it. APB is like Grand Theft Auto - MMO ... but its fun. The game itself has broke-down and came back a few times with different companies. Now it runs on steam - free to play, which is awesome.

Yeah, if you kill me, either I wait 5 days OR i buy +1 live for 5$ ;)

So the server pays for itself when players die. When someone dies, everyone in the channel says R.I.P ...

Limits on the server are 12 000x12 000 so when you die the worst part is getting back to your "hidden home" 8000 blocks away...and since you lost everything on you, your chance of survival are very low.

What is awesome in deathban server is the fact that everyone plays as if it was their real life on the line...its more intense.

For nostalgias sake... Command and Conquer 95! And some Red Alert 1. Brings a tear to my eye. Freewarenow, and you can play in HD too.

Also played original Dota like a madman for 2 years, and I'm pretty damn good at it (yes I know 2 years is such a short time for DotA but whatever). Best strategic game I have ever, ever played in my life, ever. Standard RTS games I never find to be strategic - it's all build orders, rock paper scissors, macro and micro skills not much real original strategic mindgames IMO. Well you CAN have actual strategic battles, but meh ... I never really felt it. DotA on the other hand, from the first game onwards, EVERYTHING is based on mindgames n shiz.

Although DotA games aren't as diverse as, say, SC2 and generally more boring to watch.

Nowadays i'm clocking hours into MW3 (All on the PC) mainly because friends play it. About MW3 I must say the developers suck face. They actually purposefully designed it completely so that noobs would be able to do well with zero skill, at the cost of extremely good players not doing as well as their skill level should command. They did this with ridiculous killstreak rewards, deathstreak rewards, and gun stats in general (FMG9 akimbos, Type95, Striker)

Basically in terms of skill level: player 1 = 3-and-a-half, player 2 = OVER9000 (arbitrary units of identical scale)
Usually leads to score such as: player 1 = 4/10, player 2 = 20/6 (kills/deaths)
instead of (i.e. if this were ACTUALLY a skill based game we would see): player 1 = 1/10, player 2 = 40/1

Quake on the other hand is an example of a truly skill-based game. I don't mean FPS circle strafing skillz or perfect aim and stuff like that, but at a high level go watch some Quake Live replays and just be dumbfounded.

Anyway hows BF3? I may switch to that :(
But I'm not a fan of this Origin crap

Well, I typically delete what i'm not going to return to, or not actively playing.  This is what's installed right now:

Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (not actively playing)
MineCraft (not actively playing)
Skyrim (not actively playing)
Mass Effect 3 (done)
Diablo3 Beta
Path of Exile Beta
Legend of Grimrock (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?30306-who-else-is-playing-legend-of-grimrock)


I was looking at Path of Exile to tide me over while waiting for Diablo 3, since I'm not going to play the beta any more right now, but it's just not quite right for me.  I can't stand the economy of the game, and the excess of unidentified items really pisses me off as a result.  I'm going to uninstall it as soon as I'm typing this post.

I'll end up playing LoG until D3 drops, although if I've not finished it by then, I'll need to wait until I've cleared at least one character through to end-game in D3 before I even think twice about picking it back up.  We'll see how that goes.

I'm holding out for the revised ending for ME3, but once I've played that, I'll likely can it.  I'm going to keep Skyrim around for a while too, since there's so much new content being created... but again, unlikely that I'll even think about touching it again until I've run through D3 a few times.  OpenTTD and MineCraft are lost causes at this point, they're just not too big, and haven't bothered to clear them out since I've got saves all over the place.

What's next, other than Diablo3 (obviously)?

Likely Boarderlands 2, BioShock Infinite, and Torchlight 2.  I love the BioShock series, and I can't wait to play Infinite.  Boarderlands was made significantly better with all the DLC (and this is how DLC should be!), really stoked to play the second one.  I'll play Torchlight 2 after all of the rest, and out of obligation only.  Had it dropped before D3, or even LoG, I'd likely play it through first... but they've missed the boat, and I'm quite disappointed.

Anyone play Natural Selection? I played NS1 years ago (the half-life mod) and was really excited about NS2.  Even though the alpha released in 2010, it seems to have been floundering until a few weeks ago with the launch of beta 2.  After that I have been able to play for an indefinite period without crashes.  I hope they can get more momentum behind it now than just old NS1 players.  There are certainly a lot more people playing it after their presence at PAX (by a lot, I mean more than 50 at a time).  Still, I think its REALLY fun.

A lot of them are being afk, but I have been playing since release...

The whole point of guildwars was guild based pvp. It was incredible at the time, it converged dota with mmorpgs. With each release anet furthermore transformed the game into just an mmo.

I was part of the beta test krewe, and I can honestly say the pvp in guild wars 2 is completely braindead. With every class having a fortification and heal skill, along with the downed system, it's just everyone balling up and trying to mash their buttons on a single target faster than the enemy to down them. The best way I can describe it is every form of PvP in guild wars 2 is like playing IWAY. It just feels like a token part of the game they added at the end. (because they did)

The pve is pretty expansive and fun, but only if you have friends that play parallel with you.

StarCraft 2 is my main game but I've been slacking since I got the Dota 2 beta key. Too addictive and fun, but I'd much rather be playing SC2 since I want to get to a highly competitive level.
Another game that I play is Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. Cool game from 2004 but it's very unpopular and not many people play it these days. The ones that are left are good competition though. I also like Left 4 Dead 1 but it also suffers from lack of many people playing it.

Do we have a league of legends thread? I've searched for it but can't find it.

I'd love to start one so we can get some customs going. GH ARAMAP would be a blast xD

LoL's required APM isn't really high. At least if we talk about key presses. If your mouse makes noise however…

We'd get bursts of clickyness and a plethora of mouse clicking, perhaps playing SC2 if we all had 300 APM+

I believe I already posted here, but here's a quick update:

I bought Diablo 3 last night and ARMA 2 today. I owned OA for some reason without having the general game, so I decided to buy it and plan to play with my brother in his TRU (tactical realism unit). If anyone here is into that kind of thing, PM me here and hopefully we can get you recruited and set up!

Still pubbing CoD4 (promod only) and BO if anyone here is interested in playing either of those with me as well!

I'm getting back into CoD, against my better judgement I guess. Started with some MW3 but quickly went back to Blops, doing some WaW in between too, I really love Treyarchs map designs and I'm starting to get really excited for Blops 2.

Grinding my way through Kingdoms of Amalur too, don't know why but I can just sit and play that for hours on end.

What are your thoughts on GO? I personally can't stand it coming from CoD. I didn't mind Source, but they're back to the same maps...I just don't understand why they can't develop new ones...

They won't develope new maps cause the majority of people still playing CS don't want new maps, a lot of people still play Dust2 religiously.

Yeah but there's what, 16 maps in CoD4, unless you're playing a 24/7 Killhouse or Shipment server you have variety. CS has some great maps that get very little play time, Inferno, Militia, Tides and Piranesi just off the top of my head.

I installed TF2 now that it's free, and I enjoy it. I also play trackmania a little bit.
I like LoL quite a bit, but since I haven't played in a long time I've gotten a little rusty. I have also started playing Combat Arms, I don't know why, but I love that game. I know its kind of crappy, but I get so much joy from playing it.
I just got Nuclear Dawn, and Im going to see how I like that later today.

I used to play TF2 a bunch before they added all the hats, customizable weapons, and made it free to play.  I think the game was a lot more fun in the beginning stages as you could really test your skill against people with the same weapons. 

Currently I've been playing blacklight: retribution, which is a free 2 play fps.  It's pretty damn fun for being a free game and the graphics are pretty damn good too.  Anyone that loves to play an fps should definitely try it.

I recently reinstalled CounterStrke:Source in preparation fo the new CS game slated for August. I am also somewhat playing SWTOR, but I doubt I will let my subscription renew in next month.  Even with server merges, group finders, and ranked warzones (pvp), there is too much repetition in the missions between the different classes. Diablo 3 grinding nature of gameplay burnt me out quick too.  At least FPS games like CS or BF3 don't force you to farm for days to get decent gear.

Right now I'm mostly playing TF2, Minecraft, and a bunch of indie games. Part of that is because I can't play much other than source games. I might get back into Nullpo Mino (tetris clone) though, I used to pass a lot of time in boring classes with that game.

My GFX card is slowly dying, so I can't really push it as hard as I used to(it's underclocked right now). I'm going to pick up a GTX 670 when it finally goes, and then I'll work on replacing the rest of my computer as I can(switching from AMD to Intel) and going with upper midrange parts as I can afford them. After that, the list of titles I will be playing will expand. I've got no ETA on this though, as there are a lot of other things I must also attend to.

I've been playing since 2000! When I was 5! :D But all I did was waste time by building a huge army(with cheats :P) and turtle in my base and freak out whenever a battlecruiser attacked my wall of missile turrets.

I've got to say... MvM is definitely a hell of a lot of fun if you get in with a good group of people. On the flip side, it can be really horrible to play if you have crap teammates. All that said, I had some really good luck tonight with it!

Tribes: Ascend.

If you're tired of slow FPS's then this is the game for you. Plus, it's designed with PC's in mind instead of being a console port, so it makes it that much more important.

The game is really awesome and it takes a lot of skill to play it, which makes it that much more rewarding when you win fights. It's not twitch shooting like CoD where whoever presses the shoot button first wins. Well worth checking out.

Playing WOW and Batman: Arkham City, got it on Newegg for ten bucks. Sad to say that I'm fairly mediocre playing these games. Wow needs you to play constantly to get good, and v the controls for Batman AC when gliding, swooping, dive bombing, etc, begs for a controller, I feel like I need a third hand to do it properly with a mouse and keyboard.

Played CS: GO last night, all in all was fairly unimpressed. Something about it felt a little off. Maybe it's because I've got so used to "this is a bad guy skin, this is a good guy skin" and all the skins now just seem to be some small variation of tan.

I was playing a gunga. . .sorry Arms Race, and it was cycling through the new weapons, and i'm like "What the hell are these things" LOL.

I'll give it another try. I do like what they've done with the sniping.

I also recently picked up borderlands 2. Pretty fun game so far. I didn't play the first one, so it's all fresh.

I also play CS:GO (first time back to the game since...56k?!), I've been playing Bastion (great indie adventure game), and I have been an on-and-off WoW player since release.


CS:GO's rather 2D gameplay is a nice welcoming back. I played most of the CoD series, but CS and Left4Dead retain simplicity of FPS to keep it fun and quick to dive in. Customizing perks/killstreaks/guns/challenges can just be too much when all you want to do is play an FPS...

I'm enjoying it.  Then again, I haven't played WoW for about 3 years.  So, I'm sure experience may vary.

ArenaNet has some short comings that they need to address, but the game itself is fairly solid.  Few tweaks to their sPvP queueing regarding queueing with friends and I'd be content.  WvW is fun with a group, too.

Ergonomically they were better designed as well, with the rounded edges.

What are you talking about! The NES controller is the most ergonomic controller EVER MADE. Also, I need to pick up a USB NES/SNES controller one of these days as well..

15 bucks on fleabay takes it home. I'll post a review of my RetroLink SNES controller when it gets in today/tomorrow. From everything I've read avoid the "tomee" brand if possible, it looks like crap and you only have to spend 5 bucks more for the RetroLink

On a side note, has anybody else played the demo for Xcom-Enemy Unknown? I was so impressed I preordered. Besides a couple of little misses (and a few improvements) over the original, it seems like a very faithful update. It got my 50 bucks for preorder, and that says a lot since the last time I paid 50 bucks for a game was when I played console games and had no choice. Bought Civ V on first price drop for 30 bucks and that was a big deal.


But there's some value added here, it's got the normal assortment of TF2 garbage (stopped playing for a year, i'll play an occasional arena or MvM match nowadays) as well as some in game aesthetic upgrades (i'm looking forward to the "classic soldier" skin haha)

But if enough people preorder (and they will) a free copy of Civ V that I can gift to my wife so we can play together online. True love.

I've ordered GW2, should be here today. I'm excited to try something different. Regardless of the new content w/ MOP, I'm just ready for something new that isn't another WoW clone. From what I've read about GW2, a WoW clone is what it is not, so I can't wait to try it.

It's definitely not a WoW clone. I have't put much time into it yet, but I've enjoyed what I have put into it. Not that I'm not going back and giving WoW another try (on a trial account) at the request of a friend who started playing again. I have my doubts that I'll stick around playing it though.

The carrot that kept me playing WoW for as long as I did was already shrinking and with GW2, it's too minuscule to really invest money, time and emotion into anymore.  It's like going from SD to 1080pHD for me.

That's what I wanted to hear. Anyway, I'm more of a casual gamer myself. I don't have the time to meet for raiding week in and week out, and I like the idea of being able to PVP with skill being the focus instead of gear. I've got a nice computer and a 3D 120HZ monitor and a great graphics card, I can't wait to start playing. The game arrives from Amazon today! :)

Still? I didn't know those servers were still on :P

I had a friend get burned pretty hard on that game come to think of it. He's a professional MMO hacker for gold farming, the kind of guy who made glider bot in WoW if any of you remember that. He took the time to RE the entire client and build one that used incredibly limited graphics such that you could run about 50 clients on a high end PC at that point in time. He did hundreds of hours of work under the impression it was going to be the next big thing. Kind of a shame how that worked out xD.

Lately most of my time is dedicated to SC2/SSF4. I have a ton of games on Steam that I play every so often, but none that I'm really digging my teeth into yet it seems. Despite this fact, the Summer Sale still manages to take my money...

No kidding, this sounds just like me. I Have at least 25 games I picked up during the Steam Holiday Sale and Summer Sale. Yet I've played no more than 30 hours split between them all. Skyrim was the biggest disappointment of all, particularly since it's the only one I spent more than $10 on.

In the meantime, I easily have several hundred hours between SC2 and SSF4:AE.

Edit: Just noticed how old the post I quoted is. I was certain I jumped to the last page of this thread and it just happened to be the last post on the page.

FINALLY beat FTL on Normal with the Zoltan ship the other day. I kept getting lucky finds. I think I must have found 4 droids/weapons within 2 sectors that I sold. By the end I had 2 ion cannons, an artemis launcher and the Halberd beam. Also had full cloaking device which is great for when the last boss blitzes 100 lasers, rockets and droids at you during it's second form

Played the demo till 4:00 A.M. and dreamt of rockets.

I prolly spent 2 hours trying to get a "honeycomb" design of fuel rockets connected by struts to work, but it kept clipping the launch tower on takeoff and spinning wildly out of control.

Highest height I got was just over 1M meters. (1000 Km) and I never escaped the gravitational pull of the planet you start on, but wow a fun sandbox game for sure.

Is there any goal/point/storyline in the full game. I think the demo is locked on .13 but the full is on .16 or something?

The full version is on .17 I believe, and it has a much larger solar system to explore. I think the demo only has the starting planet and 1 or 2 moons, and the sun. No story or goals yet, however they are adding a career mode in the near future, so I think that will probably contain goals! The full version also has tutorials which are helpful, because the learning curve for the game can be kind of steep when you're trying to figure out how to escape a planet's gravity and such.

The center of mass and center of lift need to be close/on top of one another for airplanes to work properly. I've been trying to design an effective spaceplane that can orbit, but have yet to be successful  :( the flight model is pretty wonky on planes in this game too, I have lots of difficulty flying efficiently.

It's basically Borderlands 1.5 It's definitely fun, but my main issue is the difference between classes merely comes down to passives, which seem like lazy design in that respect. And don't even get me started of Axton. If you are going to create a pet class, leave some room for varied game play, other classes have an active signature skill, but Axton just plops down a turret with no interaction. A passive within a passive tree. Ugh. But the game is worth a buy, sorry I rant on game design.

Regardless, anyone who hasn't given it a chance yet because of its stupid name is missing out.

Yeah, I'm not sure if it would sell better under it's current title or as True Crime: Hong Kong.

Even the devs said activision was a fool to sell off the game in the state it was, they apparently simply added polish and threw it up for sale.

Personally i'm playing so much XCom that i'm getting burnt out. I'm not even past the first alien base raid because i've restarted about 10 times thinking "I learned something this game, I can do better.

But it's still really fun.

My wife is playing Alan Wake, and enjoying it.

I still get in a bit of TF2, CIV V, FTL and KSP lol acronyms

Been playing Darksiders and Darksiders 2 lately, they're great fun so I don't spend much time talking about them. However; just now I, Horseman of Death, wanted to speak some king-type in the realm of the dead. But no, I have to go beat a champion before they'll let me speak to the king. But wait, there's more; I have to get whatever you need to summon this champion as they're too lazy to do it for me.
Being Death I sort of expected more.

First playthrough was a piece of cake. Clear the game and unlock "True Vault Hunter Mode". Thats when the fun begins.

Oh man, the end game content in TVHM is beyond frustrating. All the lv53's that can take out my Zer0 in two shots, but require an armory of ammo to drop. As Scooter would say, 'Not cool bro not cool.'

I solo'd the entire campaign as a Mechromancer. Finished at lvl 36 (did the DLC as well). Didn't really have too many issues. I died a few times on the final section with all the bots they throw at you, but otherwise I rarely died or lost to bosses - in fact, most were way, way too easy. Once I unlocked clap for my Deathtrap he just became ridiculous in every battle - usually one shotting entire groups of enemies.

Maybe I need to reroll or try different weapons. My weapons have better stats than what's sold at the vendor. I just don't seem to be able to enough damage. I break cover, shoot at something to get its shield down, but I start getting hit and I have to take cover, the targets shield starts recharging and I'm right back to square one. Maybe I'm not doing something right.

Definitely not. You shouldn't really need to hide behind cover all that often in this game. Go for headshots / critical spots. Every enemy has critical spots where, if you hit it, they will die much quicker. Also, in early game if you get any fire weapons definitely use those as all flesh enemies are weak to them and the fire will typically cause them to stop shooting (as does hitting critical spots - it staggers them).

A tip for later in the game too - if you shoot the robots in the legs it will stagger them when they're running at you.

Thanks for this. I was using the wrong weapons. I had an incendiary gun and a gun that does explosive damage in my backpack, I equipped those and things have gotten a ton easier. I went right through two bosses without dying once. And the game is definitely getting much much more fun.

so i'm replaying assassins creed 2 and brotherhood (the italy ones, revelations focused on constintanople or iran?) and since i'm an old school gamer, i have to play the new xcom enemy unknown...

You need a server. Bukkit or Vanilla are the most common. Tekkit being a derivative of Bukkit. I run a Bukkit server for myself and a few friends, but there is a GH Minecraft server already...

Only generally play FPS games.

Currently:

Modern Warfare 3

Battlefield 3

Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare

Ghost Recon (the original one on PC)

and Battlefield 2 (PC) with the Project Reality Mod

I got it gifted to me on release from a buddy who I did a favour for a while back (got him a game of similar value from a 4 pack). It has been out a while and I was surprised they didn't have a sale after XCOM Launched (or maybe that's why they aren't having a sale) because each pre-order of XCOM came with a copy of CIV V.

GaK is a good addition, though. It adds a lot of stuff that was removed from IV and jut enough new features and tweaks to make it worth it.

IDK If it's worth 30 bucks. It would be a fair value at 20 IMO because so much of the added content is stuff you'd expect from a patch (they fixed city states/Diplo victory and rolled it into the DLC instead of a vanilla patch? Weak, firaxis.)

CIV V and myself have a love-hate relationship.

It's as hard as you make it for yourself really. If you want to get high scores and use specific masks then some parts can be difficult, but if you're not fussed about your rating and use the most useful mask for a given level then it's not too demanding. I didn't really want to use the more powerful masks as it seemed borderline cheating, but in the end one stage of one level (second section of "Assault") eventually made me cave and use the quiet gunshots mask.

Lol, I thought the masks were just for looks. It's not that the gameplay is "difficult" as much as it is frustrating with trial and error, but really rewarding since you don't get to save (only saves each floor of the building you clear) after you kill a bunch of dudes you just look around panting like "****, ****, ****, **** I KNOW that wasn't the last guy....."

And the soundtrack is amazing! Volume++++ when you play Hotline Miami, after a few hours you will be tired with bloodshot eyes, lol. In a good way

Not sure if he was just trolling me but that's the stupidest ****in thing I've ever heard. NO FPS is better played than with a keyboard and a mouse.

Sports games, Driving games and maybe Flying games are better on the controller than the keyboard and that's it. Even the Driving and Flying games have their own peripherals if you care enough that are light years ahead of those little nubs.

To me playing most FPS games with a console controller defeats the purpose of playing the FPS in the first place.
Also, as fun as some of they CoD games have been, I've learned to never take the games nor the playerbase seriously. Needless to say, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when they had a stream for the MLG finals of BLops on Xbox.

Not saying those who enjoy console FPS games are wrong, unless they claim using a controller is a superior way of playing. I even play some single player FPS games with a controller, although that's more to do with the game being outright unfriendly to mice, like BioShock.

Right, fixed that in the post to "no FPS is better played than with a KB/M"

that's more to do with the game being outright unfriendly to mice, like BioShock.

Maybe that's why I disliked Bioshock but my wife loved it.

I didn't even bother finishing it. Played probably 80 percent of the story and just quit.

Admittedly, I do play GoW3 with my BIL on occasion. The controls are stiff and clunky and I hate how slow it takes people to turn around (or how they just whip in circles when you touch the joystick if you crank the sensitivity)

It makes me laugh so hard when you see people using those FPS FREEK analog stick elongators (Basically clamps that make the sticks longer) or go so far as to mod their XBOX controller. What's the point?

I'd love to get a KB/M on 360, go into call of duty [year] and just outshoot everybody. angry 12 year olds everywhere.

My girlfriend is a massive massive fan of the first BioShock game and has played it several times.
Me, on the other hand... I haven't even gotten halfway because it's too scary so it's easier to go play TF2 or something instead of BioShock.
Doesn't help that I'm generally bad at finishing SP games.

I just didn't much care for the plot. I think I watched the ending sequence when my wife (then girlfriend) was playing and I was like "oh what's his name is the big bad. What a twist."

Maybe it was just me in that regard, but I didn't feel there was any notable story. Maybe it's because I've played games like TES where there's literally this whole nerdy world built around the game, or HL2 where the whole story is seamlessly woven around you while never leaving First Person or losing control of your character. (If valve wants you to look somewhere they'll trick you into watching the first person cutscene. They'll make a strange sound or something and you'll think "what's that" and look over there.)

Bioshock just felt like "here's a spooky underground city, here's a wrench, you work it out."

You know why "YOU" didn't feel like there wasn't any notable story or that the "twist" wasn't so great? it's because "YOU" weren't pushed and pulled for 16hrs, and then you find out... "would you kindly".

gonna reiterate that i'm not flaming or anything, just trying to illustrate that there's a different perspective of the player vs. the watcher, even the wife is equally scared as i am when i play resident evil, and she says "keep playing i want to see the rest".

I played the first bit of it. I got the lantern and read some letters. It seems well thought out but it just didn't hold my attention. I preferred to play it in the dark and "get into the atmosphere" but due to the fact that it was summer it would get dark around 9:00 PM and the kids would be going to bed around that time, so when I finally sat down to play it would be 9:30-10:00 and I would only play for an hour or so before bed. I do intend to finish it, but it didn't get me addicted.

It does seem fun, though.

On the subject of Bioshock, I think another reason I disliked it is because I was playing on Hard, and I was constantly running out of ammo because the enemies weren't any smarter, just had more HP, so fighting big daddies was just running backwards in circles shooting at them.

What kept me going was the puzzles / monster evasion. Maybe you are still in the "training" area --- there isn't really a designated training area, but I felt like the first chapter was just for introducing all the elements of the game. After about half way through the game, the story was very intriguing (started to really look for the journal pages, so I could hear the next narration.) DEFINITELY have to play in the dark, in complete isolation. This is the only way to really achieve the "scream like a b1tch" effect ;)

o_0 just remembered the part with the invisible "monster" that you only know where he is because of his footsteps. God, that creeped me out.

I'm quite sure I am. I think I just barely saw the first "monster" walking around and the game is telling you to hide from it. I had the lantern and solved a simple puzzle, so I may have just finshed that.

It get dark around the time I get off work nowadays, I might revisit it.

On another note, i've been daydreaming a lot about STALKER lately. I might have to revisit that one as well (played through the original twice and both sequels once.)

sanctum, binding of isaac, DLC Quest (ironically), et al.

Anyways, I just mean that I barely pay attention to the deals on steam anymore. They used to be really lucrative, but now it's a game I don't want, already own or have never heard of for 10 bucks instead of 20 and often to fully appreciate the game you have to get 5 addons that cost more than the deal itself lol.

I find myself buying games and never playing them, and now that i'm getting into DOTA 2 I doubt that will be changing any time soon.

That's all I was saying.
Title: Re: What computer games do you play?
Post by: vun on Mon, 19 November 2012, 12:12:39
The Binding of Isaac only has one cheap DLC that, at least from my point of view, adds content for those who have played it through and want more. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything when I play the game without the DLC. I'm okay with that.
What annoys me is the DLC for games like Magicka, DD and Sanctum where the DLC gives you different ways to play the game from the get-go and, like you mentioned, you feel that you need those to get the complete experience.
Title: Re: What computer games do you play?
Post by: kravlin on Mon, 19 November 2012, 12:28:51
same feeling here about Binding of Isacc, it adds a bunch of content, but it's not necessary to enjoy the game, esp since the game requires so much time without the DLC. In fact, because the DLC makes the game harder, I would honestly say that you should play it without the DLC first, until you've unlocked a good number of the items so that you actually stand a reasonable chance.

There are other "indy-ish" games that have DLC that do it right though. I really liked how Killing Floor only had cosmetic DLC (until the most recent DLC set that is). So you never lost out by not buying DLC, but if you wanted more than basic customization it was a couple bucks. I'm less happy that they released a "weapon pack DLC", but at the same time the guns don't remove playability or make it impossible to get any achievements, they just add some silly options to the gameplay, like a buzzsaw crossbow, so i see that as more acceptable.

The DLC for DD and Magica piss me off, because they serve the same function map packs for big AAA titles do, which is to largely segment the playerbase, or nickle and dime you.

The good deals can be had on Steam during the summer and winter holiday sales, with both AAA and indie titles for sale at 75-80% off. I don't think I'll be buying anything in the near future though. Ever since I got into SC2, and more recently Dota 2, there's not much else I want to play. I still have over 20 games that I haven't played once and probably never will.

I will never play Dota 2 simply out of spite. All my buddies got keys within a few weeks of signing up and stopped playing almost immediately. I entered the beta key essay contest almost 2 years ago, then later singed up for the beta key list . 8 months later I get my key. So much spite. Apparently 4+ years as a tester is not enough of a qualification ಠ_ಠ

Thing is i've been a member since like 2006 and have got like 300 games in my library, so the packs aren't worth it since I already own half the games in them, only ones I get in those sales is the newer ones that are on good sales, which are slimmer pickings than you might think. I don't much care for incremental games, and the only games that have come out recently that I much care to play are ACIII and FC3. I already picked up XCOM.

Sorry to hear that noisyturtle. It's really a rather fun game, but not having played the original I don't know how it compares. At least you got a key, eh?

Choppers are easy mode in that game though, because you can actually hook onto them and hijack them, causing more carnage.

The landmark capture/destruction is pretty repetative but not nearly as bad as JC1. The missions are usually solid and fun enough even though the story, as usual, is a pretty flimsy pretext for why you need to drive a car fast and/or shoot ****.

If you want a real challenge, try to destroy that entire oil refinery on the island that looks like a skull in one go. Took me almost 2 hours.

Also, I suggest fully upgrading that little black one-man jet (can't remember the name) to do your scouting missions as it's crazy fast and fairly inexpensive. Just do flybys on landmarks (I got 100 percent discovery but not 100 percent completion before my HDD took a dump one day.)

Also check out the mods for the game, especially the unbreakable tether and multi-tether. Add tremendously to the fun if you get bored because you can just chain a whole bunch of things together and laugh and laugh and laugh.

I'm now a villain with the people at the strip. I've also got Boone as a companion. I'm using a laser rifle of some sort, it's one that charges itself.

How do you go playing FPS on a console?  I am used on the PC to twitching the mouse to do a 180 to see what is behind me, but as I understand it the console has a rocker switch or something you push to turn sideways relatively slowly.

Is that right?  Or not?

you're missing out if your into gaming rather than just doing it randomly... there are some really amazing games that you can only get on console... my own personal GOTY being Journey... something that everyone really should play!

but yeah playing FPS's on console's is fine, but its not PC level...

It's not too bad, but I do much prefer using a keyboard and mouse for FPS games. I usually just crank the sensitivity up on the controller pretty high so I can still kinda twitch and turn around like on the PC. I really need to get another gaming rig to play these new games on PC, but one thing I do love about the Xbox is the achievements and gamerscore. On Steam I never really care much to get achievements because it doesn't seem to matter as much, but on Xbox I love doing it because having a high gamerscore is awesome  :p

Tried. Didn't like.

Basically I was trying to repair a turret and got shot about 10 times. So I went sniper and found out that only one faction (there are 3 main) has a good sniper rifle. Went back to engineer and tried to heal a tank which promply backed over me, killing me instantly. Nobody on the team was using teamspeak or mics and there was no communication. We eventually lost the base and I uninstalled later that day.

Perhaps if you had 3+ friends to play with you could do something but for the most part it seemed like a random cluster****.

100% agreed Internetlad, unfortunately.

-nobody seems to communicate. At  the most you will see people using the Galaxy to take busloads of people and just drop them into combat.
-performance issues on my computer. I Have an NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M plus 8 gigs of RAM and an i7....  why can't I play at over 30 frames per second most of the time?

Needless to say I've ended my subscription based on the performance issue, let alone the fact that like you said, it's a gigantic cluster ****. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

It's a neat idea. A lot of people seemed to have connection issues. Some yellow faction guy was warping around so badly I thought it was intentional, found out later he was just lagging.

If you had about 4 buddies who all had mics and did eleet squad tactics it would probably be a blast.

Yeah, the co-op part is great fun.
Nothing beats the singleplayer part though. Like Jim Sterling said; they should record a bunch of Cave Johnson stuff every year, because that part of the game was absolutely fantastic.

If you're concerned with the amount of people who play the game, you should definitely go with BF3. I personally don't care for either game, but I find that Black Ops 2 is much less exciting, it has a very few players, and it gets dry very quickly.

Title: Re: What computer games do you play?
Post by: missalaire on Thu, 03 January 2013, 17:58:52
How is Tera Online?

It's an okay game, I played it for about 7 months before I quit. Not amazing, but not terrible either. It is a Korean MMO so it does has the aspects of one. The leveling curve is just right I'd say, it isn't very long by any means and it gives you enough time to practice and learn how to play your class. The action combat system feels pretty smooth and its fun, makes you have to actually pay attention somewhat in game because your gear ratings don't do the work for you. The PvE is fairly challenging at end game, but needs more content. And there isn't really any open world pvp currently, just instanced arena and BG pvp, but there's a lot of new features in the next big content update that are made to encourage open world pvp. There is also more raid content coming in the new update for 20 man raids.

The game started off decently enough, but a lot of people have quit it for other games or are just fed up with the current state of the game. Hopefully the next content update can change things, but the question is whether it's too little too late or if it can make a comeback and draw people back in.

it's not too bad really, i've been playing it with a few friends and once you figure out how to put together some decent builds, you can usually do well relatively consistently.  it has some glaring issues though, such as netcode worse than 10-15 year old video games, UI bugs, crashes, etc.

I personally love killing people with doors, so i use the horse mask. I stick to the knife as often as possible as well. Obviously sometimes i have to switch to a gun, but i do prefer the knife. Or katana :D
Yeah, I love the katana as well xD
Also, do you know how to take people as meat-shields? It never seemed to work for me.

I bought Torchlight 2 yesterday because Steam knew I hadn't had time to snatch it up so they kept it on sale for me.  Really fun game, still in the early levels but it brings back the good memories of playing Diablo 1 and 2.

I really don't like modern video games. The most modern examples of games I like are the Souls series and DustForce (but only just). Super metroid was one of my favourite games, I think it is still the best 2D platformer made for platforming.

If you like 2D platformers, I recommend you try a game called Iji.

Otherwise I like typical things like PS:T and The Longest Journey. I don't like TES, and prefer the much less popular Outcast to Morrowind.

It depends on what you're after, really. My favorite games lately have been To The Moon (doesn't really count as a game :P ), Cave Story+ and SpaceChem. My brother has over 1000 hours clocked in the Binding of Isaac too. My steam library is a little inflated from Humble Bundles/ Steam sales so I've only sorta worked my way through it. (Is Castle Crashers indie? It is THE BEST).

I'm mainly an MMO player, but also play League of Legends pretty regularly.

I've played World of Warcraft, Aion, and Tera Online. Currently trying out the Age of Wushu beta.

Just recently started playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic as well. First time playing this old game.

No longer playing Age of Wushu, probably won't get into any MMOs until I finish this build up of single player RPGs I haven't finished starting with SW: KOTOR, Dragon Age: Origins, and maybe Mass Effect 2 after that.

I am burned out on FPS TPS. I wish there were some good adventure game like Myst series that was new. That would really hit the spot. I haven't found any good adventure/puzzle game like that in a long time. Too many of them are filled with illogical trial and error combine the random object 'puzzle' and horrid QTE, just make me rage. Anyone else like these kind of game, anything I missed that is worth playing made in last 2 years?

Its complicated. I used to play a lot of FPS games but since i suck so bad at them i gave up. Occasionally i still play them if a friend plays it.
The last big game i played was Max Payne 3, but i felt it is a drag though story and presentation is good.
Mostly i play older games and Rpg's. One of the old games i play is Starflight and just recently Planescape Torment. I actually really enjoy playing older games which is partly nostalgia and partly great gameplay.

mostly LoL now but I started getting into DotA a little bit but it is kinda mind blowing to learn all these new champions abilities and build paths and what each item does... that's mostly what's keeping me away. I'm already so immersed in LoL and already learned so much about it.

as a long time GW fan from the days of prophecies I couldn't skip buying GW2 after I've been waiting so long for it so I pre-ordered it. played it for about 2 weeks on release and then haven't touched it since then. it isn't a bad game and I really liked it but it isn't the same as when I was 14 and had a lot of time to spare and explore every bit of the game. I feel sad now thinking about it... I don't want to grow old and never play games again!
maybe I'll try to get more into it again when I find free time...

Sneeky, sneeky. I was tempted to purchase it when GMG had it on sale, but I've hear stellar comments on the game, so I'll try it next time I find it on sale!

I love B/W 2. A lot of content in the game to play. I've put over 120 hours in it and I'm still not done.

Very excited for the X and Y, but I wished they would have incorporated the pokemon following the player deal from SS/HG!

ooh been playing CS:GO a tad myself lately. It's not bad, to be honest, i wasnt a huge fan of Source, but i think GO is a huge step up in many ways.

The best gun is the 400 dollar Tec-9. Decent accuracy and fire rate for a pistol and instant kill headshots on unhelmeted enemies. I had a 15 kill streak in a DM on inferno with only the Tec9 and knife against enemies using all sorts of snipers, ARs, SMGs etc. I swear you can't run out of bullets with that gun. It just keeps going and going and going. . .

and I'm not even that good at CS anymore.

Yea it's region locked. I got the PAL (European) version, so buying games wouldn't be that big of a problem and it'll still be in English (I'm from the US).

i don't understand region locked anymore... sometimes things just don't apply.

region lock was a hold over from DVD, not to prevent piracy, but to prevent one country from seeing something before another can, stupid right? And now where everyone has access to itunes/amazon/netflix/ondemand, we have region lock on games still... why?

And it costs more to import!

2 years after final fantasy xiii came out, after buying the regular american horrible one with the horrible voices, i got the international version, basically the chinese version, it's japanese voices and english subs. It cost me 80bucks to import it from yesasia (or some similar site), when the north american one was going for 30bucks new.

region and localization is silly, why!!!

i guess i can understand localization, a lot of americans are lazy and don't want to read subtitles, ugh.

Anybody else play Cortex Command? I used to love it as a time waster but it's got to the point where they brought the view in too close (can't see much of the screen) and made the AI unfairly hard (They'll shoot you before you see them, it used to be the opposite) and it turned from a shoot-em-up time waster to a frustration simulator.

It's still a fantastic concept and game, however. At one point I had a mod for the T1000 Terminator (basically unkillable) with a medium range shotgun. SO fun walking through custom made levels blasting hovercraft out of the sky and watching them crash and explode into a fireball, throwing parts across the map.

I should actually check if I can get prior builds of the game to install, I'd love to go back to that, despite that it's a "lesser" build of the game.

Guild Wars 2 was fun for me while leveling.  But once I hit max level and created the best set of armor/weps it got very boring.  I think once I hit max level I went and did WvW for a couple days and destroyed people, then got bored with it.  Structured PvP was fun for a while, but I burned out on that as well.

Then again, FTL is only $10, slightly less if you buy it when it's on sale on Steam. If you buy it from the humblebundle store you pay in dollars, so no $->€ trickery, and you get a Steam key.

I've had a couple of months break from GW2, I gave up when the people I played with left and the only exploration left was WvWvW areas. Now people have started playing again, so I've started as well and it's pretty fun to be playing again. I don't really like the fact that there's not much to actually do once you hit 80 apart from keep grinding the same stuff you've been doing so far. Yes, there's cool armours and weapons to go for, but they all require too much grinding and crap to be worth the effort. I much prefer the old GW, although nobody plays that anymore so I'm rarely on these days.

Then again, FTL is only $10, slightly less if you buy it when it's on sale on Steam. If you buy it from the humblebundle store you pay in dollars, so no $->€ trickery, and you get a Steam key.

Was FTL on Humble Bundle? Or am I missing something?

If you go on their website (http://www.ftlgame.com/) you can buy it directly, and they use the humble store. There's no humble storefront, but they handle purchases for a few indie games outside of the bundles.

I replayed F.E.A.R. during my holidays.  The the Extraction Point mod during the last weekend.  Now Perseus Mandate.

Some of the offices look like cool places to work.  A cube farm, or a room with a view.  Although most of the maintenance corridors seem to be very, very long, with a small door at each end, and lots of big machinery in the middle o.O

Just started playing CS:GO, and slowly starting to get the hang of it. I'm WAYYYY too used to the CoD playing style right now. I have a long way to adjust to the way CS is played. I can walk into a room with 4 people camping in it and kill them all like in CoD. :(

Well, I'm still learning new tricks everyday. P250 > Tec9 during pistol/ecos! :p

It is a great game, one of the best I have ever played to be honest. And it really saddened me when the creator announced he wouldn't be holding any future updates do to the birth of his new baby, understandable, but sad.

Yup. I'll be down to play - PM me for my steam name and we can get a server going (pacific standard time please.) You need Hamachi (VPN client) to connect to online servers though, so be sure to have it installed first. I use LogMeIn Hamachi.

By the way, you don't need Hamachi to play online servers, only if you are hosting without a port-forward.

As I was playing, I was wondering if there was even group play..I didn't read much about it. Gotta tell my roommate to download it, in hopes it's not as repetitive as D3. Then again, do I want to spend hours on the beta, when I could save myself for the real deal? hmmmm so many thoughts.

It's good but can be very difficult getting the hang of wallrunning as the aliens as ****ing everything seems to get into your way. I assume if you were really good at it, you could make it look awesome jumping from wall to wall.

The marine faction is typical FPS shootemup, but the aliens are pretty cool.

as far as RTS/FPS blends, I preferred Nuclear Dawn, but frickin nobody play(ed/s) that so.

There won't be another wipe so everything you do now will continue into the full game, also this game could be in beta for years or even perpetually as there may be no "full release" per say. A good amount of mmo's have been running for years and are still in beta.

I say play the hell out of it.

Played Hotline Miami  over the weekend. . .  very mixed feelings. The game itself is simple but fairly fun. I almost think of it more of a puzzle game than a action game, although it has elements of both. The controls were very unlikable. Very stiff and weird. Compare it to even simple flash games and I had more trouble pinpointing where I wanted to go on screen in H.M.

The coolest stuff was not even the actual playing of the game, it was the menus, the ambience, and, yes, the music (which probably brings back memories if you went to raves in the 80s) I loved the story once it got going. In fact, I think that's why I kept playing. I actually preferred the story to the game. Sort of like a surrealist "The Professional" with more violence. Game itself? Take it or leave it. I've played browser games with more substance.

I agree with what you say about Hotline Miami for the most part. They really could have spent some more time to make the controls much better. I am not sure, but I also think some of that poor control was intentional, like bad 80's game. Though, you should check out some of that 'dev previous games like Clean Asia... you might not think HM is so bad anymore lol.

In my two years of play League, I have only seen 1 person who modified the game and cheated.  I don't know if I just never see it or if Riot is on the ball when it comes to keeping that crap out of the game but I'm glad to report cheating is not a big factor in the game. 

On a side note, has anyone been having problems with Torchlight 2 and connectivity issues while playing with 3 or more people?  This started for me right as soon as we started Act II and basically if there are 3 or more of us playing at a time the game freezes in loading screens, when one of us loads in it boots another person out and other fun occurrences that basically make the game unplayable.  I submitted a ticket and after days of trouble shooting and emails back and forth Runic said it is probably a known dsync issue within the game that they are aware of and are working on fixing.  My question is has anyone had this issue and found away around it or am I at the mercy of how fast Runic gets this issue resolved?

Most people play games for the instant gratification provided by "Winning"... That's the current most successful design focus, namely quick respawn and short term medal award system.

Whatever joy outside of that which "you-personally" have derived from gaming is not common with typical gamers..

I don't think I've played somebody that was cheating yet, but I didn't know that it ran rampant like that. I can't bring myself to play LoL or Dota because I suck at games like that, and the people seem even worse when they realize you don't know where to go. I just went with CS because I'm decent at FPS's, and they all sound like CoD trolls.

I really hate playing with the tryhards, especially at my rank because they're always yelling at me like I know how to play, then yell at me more when they find out my rank. Like, chill out bro, I've been playing S&D on CoD for the past 5 years. I still have plenty of run and gun still left in me, since I'm used to being able to run into a room and killing a majority of a camping team. It sadly doesn't work that way in CS. :-[

The best is when somebody is blatantly hacking. Saw somebody who had speed & aimbot, would be in the enemy spawn within seconds of round start and kill half of to our whole team before dying/winning/running away.

I miss the days of micspam though. Some of my fondest memories were making people either laugh or rage out over the fact I was playing "Banana Phone" while running around CS_ASSAULT with a mac10

I got really into it and played it religiously after school from when HL2 came out and for about 2yrs following on dial-up becasue my area hadn't gotten broadband at that time..

was so good... though I never got into private matches and just spent my time mocking 'clans'... never understood (to this day) the point of cheating, just seemed like a waste of time... closest I got to that was me and a friend ran our own CS:S server thatwould have all kinds of random **** going on.. that was pretty fun..

You'd need to get a list of LoL players on GH and see who plays on what server, then go from there. I don't play much, but if 4 more people here play on EUW then I'd be down, I can still play fairly decent.

I feel the same way about CS right now. I just got Master Guardian II, and they all know how to play what and when to rotate and all that stuff. I only got to this rank because I know how to aim well. :-[

I just can't get into competitive online first person shooters knowing that a lot of the players cheat. I love LoL, because even if somebody did make hacks for it, it would be very easy to see that they are cheating.

I am not sure if i just suck or if other are just better or cheat, but i am really bad with CSS now. So i gave up on it. It was fun while it lasted.

There really aren't a lot of cheaters, at least not in my experience. Then again I'm fairly picky about the servers I play on, so that helps with avoiding cheaters. There is quite a skill gap, so I don't think your opponents are cheating, it does require a fair amount of practice to get decent, at least compared to other shooters like the CoD series.

Maybe that's why I've never had issues with "cheaters"

There are some players that are just obscenely good. If I came in from playing CoD where things like movement, footsteps, radar, location, etc etc etc didn't matter, I might think somebody is hacking too when they pop out from behind long hall in Office and kill me in a 1 shot with the AK. If you break it down, the first shot on the AK is exceedingly accurate if you know how to aim it, and even the second follow up shot is not bad. Were you running? He probably heard your footsteps, or if you just killed one of his buddies, he knows exactly where you're going from the radar. He's played the map hundreds or thousands of times, and learned the habits and behaviors of each team.

It's not hard to think it could happen.

You would never know, Internetlad. One of the most commonly known hacks which is practically universal to all first person shooter is "chams" or wall hacks (ability to see through the walls, and therefore predict where they will be when visible, and able to be shot. This is a highly unfair advantage, for obvious reasons.)

Add me on League of Legends my fellow geeks! I play slow and conservative, and I play to win. Hit Me UP.

Often by speccing the character, you can see them "lead" their shots through the wall instead of hugging the inside corner of the wall/doorway like a normal player would. Worse still is when they blatantly look or stare at enemies through a wall. Often somebody will be able to diagnose if somebody is walling from how they behave rather than how many kills they have.

at the end of the day, though, it's just a game. I suppose it's not for everybody whether the reason be fear of hacking or simply not enjoying the experience.

That I can tell the difference between now. I just had my first experience with a cheater on the opposing team. Some people are actually really respectable when it comes to a cheater on their team, and actually try to kick them. I can understand hacking on a casual game, but in competitive that is just wrong...

I'm playing on medium and it seems like sometimes the enemy is looking right frickin at me and doesn't see me because there's a box covering my left leg or a 3 inch thick tree in front of me. Although it makes the game easier it sure does break the immersion.

EDIT: Heron, Shark, Spider lol.

I don't get the skill trees in this. They seem to be filled with completely unrelated skills. For example, the Heron is supposed to be long range killing (IE Guns?) but it's filled with CQC and sneak kill skills haha. The sniper upgrade is in the Spider IIRC, and I have no clue what that theme is supposed to be.

It's like they couldn't figure out what was supposed to go where, so they just put all the best ones at the end somewhere.

I have an NC on Connery, a TR on Matterson, and VS on Miller. I play mostly the VS on Miller because I like to play in the day when the wife is at work. And since its night time in Europe and Miller is a very competitive server, it works out perfectly.

I'll be honest... I'm not very good... But I'm getting better... You can find me as moonshake on Matterson, m00nshake on Miller, or stubbornmfka on Connery.

I was assuming. I got no proof or anything.
The time i was playing like hardcore i was fairly good. But i never got in to the top and now i am not even in-it, if you know what i mean. I try looking for a nice hangout server where vulgar language is not key. I just can't stand the talks sometimes anymore but i am fine if someone is way better then me. Still, CS is one of the better games in that regard and i always felt that CoD was never a true game for competition. On CSS you have a lot of choices of running a very refined server something i did not find for CoD. But CoD MW was at least a good and fun shooter. Did not like anything that came after it.
Btw. i remember that time we had a server and were in TWL you needed to run a couple of anticheats software. There were always daily cheaters banned. Of course i can not say for right or wrong but it did happen.

Recommended:  FarCry3

I highly recommend that you check out FarCry3.  It's not the greatest game of all time, but it is very enjoyable.  The interface feels like a terribad port from a console-based game.  The interface simply sucks, there is no way to deny it (e.g.  press and hold "E" to interact with objects, the jumping/ climbing "Spacebar" is st00pid, and the "Mash C, Space, W" is beyond retarded and comes straight from X-box.  Also, the stealth elements of the game are a direct rip-off of Thief and Hitman, and they are totally dumbed-down for 12 year old gamers.  But even with these problems, the game is still pretty good, and will hold your interest for 60+ hours, if not more.  Get it today.

lulz.  Yup.  Dumbed way-way down.  Remember the original Hitman: Codename 47 game?  The bad guys could spot you clear across Hong Kong bay, at night, when you were crouching behind a garbage dumpster.  And even when you were in disguise, the would spot you immediately if you ran, or carried the wrong gun, or crouched, or loitered, or did basically anything weird.  By contrast, in FarCry3, when I was dressed up as a Merc-recruit, I ran, jumped, dove in the water, waved all manner of exotic machine guns around and nothing happened.  What kind of a Merc-recruit goes for a swan-dive and swims around the bosses' boat while the boss is lecturing all of the other Merc-recruits on the deck of his boat?  Nobody thought that was suspicious?  Rly?

Oh and as it turns out, Ni No Kuni is a hot HOT peice of garbage. Like total proper ****. Don't let it's awesome artwork and amazing cut scenes and voice acting fool you, the game is total ****. Imagine the worst kind of JRPG, where you spend 99% of the time mindlessly grinding with a ****ty battle system, and with AI party members dumber than PSX AI.

It's total **** and I'm pissed off that I got tricked into wasting 15hrs of my life.

Oh boy do I regret buying Aliens: Colonial Marines. Really I ought to have seen this coming, as a decent Alien title hasn't been released since the ill-fated Jaguar, and even then it may have just looked great because it was surrounded by unplayable flackware. Anyway, A:CM is bad. Really bad. Don't do it, hands off that 'purchase for myself' button and save yourself the pain and money. You'd be better off simulating the experience by wandering around the hull of a boat whilst being chased by anorexic models and giving yourself a HJ with a cheese grater.

On the other side of the proverbial joystick is Antichamber. A truly unique puzzle platformer in the same vein as the Portal series with some actually thought provoking mechanics.

Depends what old is. I am 48 now and still playing though not as much as i used to. But i agree that FPS is now not as nearly enjoyable as it used to. The talk is mostly what turns me really off and i enjoy more the mature and tactical approach to these kind of games.
Now i waste my time more on older titles and replays of great games. I think i can not part with the gaming aspect of life. :)

Wonder why it's got such an ass metacritic score then. That's a voxel shooter with destructible enviroments right? Not unlike Guncraft?

Been stuck onto "Dayz" for 2 months straight.

I got out of it as I don't have enough time to sit on a roof or run through a bush for an hour. It's a cool game but all the new stuff they added made it a little too overbearing for me. I assume everybody plays shoot on sight now because if the disease, cold, food poisoning, starvation or zombies don't kill you, then other players will.

I always tried to play the "good guy" and just ended up dying a lot or getting shot by my "teammates" that I had grouped up with when they realized I had good loot.

I might reinstall now that the full mod is out. Hopefully that will cease having to **** around with update files every 3 hours.

Pretty much people are bored with the simplicity of the game and lack of textures, and the fact that your inventory (weapons too) are pretty limited. I myself find it highly emersive (well at least the WW1 mode... It's great, digging trenches and tunnels, popping up behind the enemy, or fortifying a base.)

I often play as hero as well, help people to get on their feet but leave quickly once we got them a gun. I play with my brothers and close buddies so our backs are pretty much covered. We are basically the salvation army in the server. Taking out bandit squads and saving newbies is what we do all day long.

My greatest achievement was destroying a large camp(6 tents and 5 vehicles) belonging to a bandit squad with 2 bandit guard at that time. We kill one and escaped. I've never gotten such a rush even from the time i started gaming from Counter Strike 1.0

DUDE.... Mark Of The Ninja is a really good game. I cannot recommend it enough. Rarely does a game leave me wanting more after finishing it. I either grow disinterested, or distracted by another game but MotN is so goddam good I cannot get enough. The controls are super tight, the art and animation is superb (think Jackie Chan Adventures,) and whoever did the level design should get a freaking medal. All these little details, like how the camera adjusts whether you're outside, sneaking, indoors, or in a vent. Killing guards is super satisfying and feels visceral making you feel like a total badass when you clear a tricky room in your own way without being detected. Man, the only drawback is it's a bit short but don't let that deter you, this game is amazing. Buy it right now, you will not regret it. Platformer of the year imo.

I sort of fell out around level 10. Had a good W/L ratio (something like 60-43-1?) and suddenly lost about 10 games in a row. Tried the game a week later and got absolutely stomped by "normal" bots (was playing co-op bot with a few buddies.)

It seems like players are either super pro (I've seen some level 1s with 3 games that sure as hell don't play like it. Pretty sure it's guys grinding for items, or trolling) or absolute retards (you know the players i'm talking about.)

Very rarely do you get an entire team of people who actually want to teamplay and have mics. Those are the good games, win or lose.

Anyway, I uninstalled. Maybe i'll try it again in the future. Maybe there's a level 10 hump that i've yet to get over. They really need to tweak the matchmaking, though, and they REALLY need to balance the heroes instead of adding 10 more every month. I know every hero is different but when you see drow, huskar, tusk, sniper, etc in every single game, it's pretty clear that every hero isn't "equal" and that there's a pool of about 10 heroes that are clearly "better".

LoL - come on the the name of the game already indicates it's a joke. Nah I'm not gonna bash it here I've played it it's fun, just boring (yes, that does make sense), and competitive scene sucks. Also I get a major headache playing it.

I want ArmA III

Take a step back and look at how stale it is, without comparing it to anything else. I don't care about how many people like it good on them, that's irrelevant to how good it is as a competitive game. Literally the SAME **** happens every game, but apparently that's what people like. Everyone has a set role, uses the same summoner spells, and participate in the same predictable big team fights in the few locations on the map. It's not exciting, you know what's going to happen. The skill cap is so low, and if you have enough understanding of the so called "metagame" in LoL, it hasn't changed since 2011. In something like LoL where there's low mechanics involve, the strategy has to be way more in depth than it currently is... I feel like I'm playing bots when I beat other people. And I never bothered to mindlessly grind to 30 in that **** JUST to play ranked, and buy runes and masteries and all that bull****. I played on a friend's account for 5 man ranked and it was okay.

tl;dr I enjoyed playing it for a bit with friends. I can't watch it because it's like watching a bad film I've already seen before. If you like watching it, good on you. Their competitive scene is doing the best so far in growth and they've reached their peak. But really, it's terrible.

It's all about League of Legends.

I tried the Arma 3 demo.. I need to get a better computer. Need moar frames per second -_-

Yeah, I'm hoping Arma 3 gets better optimized as it progressed through development.
It's totally reasonable for it to happen, the game is still in alpha, afterall.

Although, I can't say that Arma II felt like the most refined game ever, haha.

Dota is like a harder version of league. I say this because, for example, the towers do much less damage. If you wanted you could dive a tier 1 at level one and probably survive. Because of this you need to be much more careful. Also, a single action, death or teamfight can decide which team wins - it takes a lot less to tip the balance of the game. I could tell you all the differences but it'd take a long time.. Oh and to me it seems like a much better made game, but that's just my opinion.

DOTA2 takes too much consistency and commitment to be any fun. And so may of the players are total elitist arseholes, but nowhere near as bad as the players on HoN. League you can just pick up and play and have fun, I feel like DOTA takes itself too seriously. DOTA is however more perfected then LoL in terms of balance and mechanics.

I've played just about every MMO out there, with the exception of WoW (I just can't...).

To me, there aren't any "good" MMO's out right now, and that sucks.

The one I've played for the longest time (on/off) was Ragnarok Online. So much nostalgia.

I've been told by friends to play LoL, but I just can't get into it. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

Sim City (2013)
Starcraft 2
Dota 2
Xcom: Enemy Unknown
LA Noire
Far Cry 3
Borderlands 2
Mark of the Ninja

all games are played on PC. many games played with 360 controller connected to my PC. depends on the game of course. out of these games Dota 2 is played the most.

I am 29 years young for reference.

I do agree that a lot of dota players are extremely elitist.. extremely, EXTREMELY elitist. I think it, like a lot of things, is entirely a matter of opinion. Some people are gonna prefer league, some are gonna prefer dota. Both games have their + and - points and it's your choice which you like the most. However, I don't think dota is too serious.. I think you just need to concentrate more. I think it's a more competitive game when it comes to actual competitive events, but when it comes to public play almost everyone just wants to have fun. Unlike league you really do have to pay attention in order to not get ganked etc which probably puts some people off..

League you can just pick up and play and have fun, I feel like DOTA takes itself too seriously. DOTA is however more perfected then LoL in terms of balance and mechanics.

That's because DOTA is harder than LoL. Not by a lot but you actually have to get kills to get golds and build up your character etc. In LoL you just stand near the guy getting killed for gold, and you can pick your perks before the game starts.

That being said, I stopped playing DOTA after about a month. I hit level 10 and got on a 12 loss cold streak. The balance BADLY needs to be tweaked. Valve is ****ting out a new hero every 2 weeks and the real issues seem to be getting somewhat ignored (there are patches but they're always really mild, like a .02 second decrease of a skill that lasts 12 seconds or some crap.)

I've seen (and been) both sides of the coin here. when I was brand new to the game I didn't really get that you should play some bot matches and get a feel for the game so I jumped right in to PVP online as nyx and got totally whomped. Like 2 or 3 guys were yelling at me, and I was like "sorry it's my first game. One other guy calmly explained some pointers in about my 3rd game and it helped a lot.

Played a game near the end where I said "I've been on a losing streak, hopefully we can turn it around" and one guy on my team was like "lol doubt it, i'm ****in' stoned."

about 3/4 through the round we were playing and another guy said "Oh, I thought we were trolling, I haven't even bought any items yet"

Spent the last quarter of the match buying couriers and running them around the fountain. Good times.


I think a big reason why everybody is so serious about winning on DOTA is that not only does it log those stats, it jams them right in your face at every chance it gets. Showing you replays and W/L ratio and how good you are compared to other people with the same heroes. . . makes it very hard to be casual.

ok i have put about 200 hours into dota 2.  people are nice if you are nice. if you are a jerk people will freak the **** out and be total d bags.  in dota communication is key. teams must work together to win. so if people are mad at each other they dont talk, then they lose, then they get really mad because you spend 30 minutes losing. they get nasty. LoL and HoN are like this as well. it is the nature of all MOBA games. however, many people have told me that comebacks in matches are much more common in DOTA 2 than LoL and HoN. this is key.

i just try to not die and kill people when they act stupid, and holy **** is dota fun when you get a good game going. when teams are about even and large team battles get going it is so much fun. plus, the game is run by valve and they run that **** flawlessly. they have cool promotions, add heroes all the time, and unlike LOL everyone gets to play all the heroes for free(I dont know **** about HoN, but who plays that anyway amirite?) if everyone is on the same playing field the game is balanced differently. dota is balanced very well in my opinion. it is actually astonishing how well the game is balanced when you think about how many heroes there are. 5v5.

also @Internetlad i never played against bots, and i still havent. i think everyone should just jump into dota and starcraft like games. multiplayer is the most fun but you cant learn to beat a human beating a computer (at least not in starcraft). the first time i played dota 2 i got completely owned. i competed in a few matches, got yelled at and lost a lot. i died all the time. after that i didnt play again for a few months. i started playing again and it caught that time. i knew what to expect i guess. i found my groove with my first hero (windrunner), started dominating, and kept learning. it is a really fun game and MOBAs are like no other multiplayer game that i can think of. i am just saying give it another try. it might stick this time.

I still have quite a few friends who play it. I feel as though I have skill with Visage, Sand King (The hardest part is not getting killed when you ultimate) and Clockwerk, as well as a handful of others.

I'll probably reinstall some day. A lot of my friends still play it.

But not today.

DayZ got boring for me. Run all the way over here, find a gun, run all the way over there, hide in a bush for 20 minutes, run all the way back because you see a guy with a better gun than you.

It's a lot of fun if you can co-ordinate a group of ~4+ guys to get on and watch each other's backs, but if you're lone wolfing it gets old quick.

Dayz's fun heavily depends on the server population. Having a server with 1-3 clans makes it far more interesting as they are mostly bandits in which I will make it my job to track them and eliminate them. Extremely fun and nerve-wrecking when fighting with a group 3-5 players especially when they are well-gear.

DayZ is a tricky pony. I like to call it the best worst game I've ever played. The conceptual execution, UI, controls, basically all the core game play and mechanics  all are just horribly bad. What really makes it great though is the story(if you can call it as such) that each individual incurs, which is incredible. The situations of desperation players create or find themselves I've not seen the like in any other game really. EVE online perhaps. You can't really play DZ well, just learn from past mistakes. The game wouldn't be the same if it were well polished I think, it's like having a permanant handicap which is what makes it worth playing. If everything ran smoothly it would just be another zombie killing survival game.

after all my whining about it, looks like i'm getting back into DayZ, lol. I'll see how that turns out. Ironically the owner of a minecraft server is the one pulling me back in, he seems big into it, so i'll probably start out with decent gear and a leg-up. Playing with a team on TS3 is more fun anyways.

My personal rule was to never trust anyone in DayZ that I didn't actually know  in real life. I wouldn't necessarily kill on sight, but I wouldn't hesitate at the smallest sign if aggression. I played with a group of 4 guys I was in the Marine Corps with. We all served in Iraq a couple times together and we did amazingly well. It was fun for us to apply real world tactics against a much larger uncoordinated group of players.

I hope the standalone version can live up to the hype.

i still play dayz, ive found that the private hive servers are relatively hacker free.
right now im playing taviana and its alot of fun
its really the most original concept in gaming in quite a while and im quite eager for the standalone
also arma 3 alpha is showing alot of promise
i guess im just getting a bit bored with the formulaic nature of most modern fps COD and Bf3
i still love mindless twitch gaming but tend to lose interest in 10-20 min and i find the endless grind for unlocks tedious

id rather run for hours and get one kill that matters than 25 kills that were easy and mindless

Never ever am I going back to MMO's they just take too many years out of your life and restricting yourself to 1 game is silly. :/

I started playing Everquest on the Rallos Zek PVP server in 1999.

I got a marketing email from Sony in early 2011 about a new expansion, which is weird because I hadn’t heard really anything about EQ since I had stopped playing in 02 (no marketing emails, etc).

I downloaded the game, called customer support, and was able to re-activate my account after it being inactive for eight years. My main toon was there with all his gear, even survived a server merge when they combined all three PVP servers into one.

I leveled him solo to current content then transferred to a blue server (PVP is all about burn dps now and isn’t any fun, unless of course you are a high AA burn DPS class)

I've been playing steady since then, raid 3x a week on Povar on end game content. I hang out with a small group of folks that I've gotten to know very well over the last two years and work through whatever content/achievements on non raid nights/days. Even bought a second account to box and nearly capped that toon.

It’s a huge time sink on relatively dated graphics but the game is really enjoyable with an insanely dedicated fanbase and always a huge challenge. New expansion every year now, up to 19, at one point it was one every 6 months.

After I re-started playing that I stopped messing with really any other game. I never got into any other MMO, WoW, etc.

That's similar to my experience with Aardwolf.  I stopped playing it for like 15 years, found it again, and somehow guessed my name and password correctly, and there my character was, in the spot I left it with everything intact.  I just didn't have a clue what I was doing, what I had, or how to play the game anymore. :P

eradicatedZombie just hooked it up with Dota 2! I'll leave my comparison to LoL here once I've played about 10 matches.

gooo heart of the swarm its soo cool.

I know right! I just beat the campaign... Multiplayer is a complete nightmare because I'm such a horrible n00b.... I get trampled before I have half a clue as to what's even going on.... There's SO MUCH to learn in SC2 it's kind of a ridiculous learning curve, especially for someone like me who's barely scratching the surface of an already WELL-known RTS.

I recently crawled out from under my rock and got through the Mass Effect series.
I'm not gonna say much apart from the fact that I've started playing through the games again even though I completed the series only like a week ago.

If you haven't played tera I would recommend you take a stab at it. Since its f2p and not crippled you have nothing to lose.

I have decided that all MMO's are basically jobs. Why should I have to level up? I'm only in it for the PVP, that's why I don't like the quests / grind part. Completely satisfied with everyone starting out at level cap, and with endgame gear... Don't need the 89 levels of grinding before level cap  :))

That's what I liked about Guild Wars, it only went to level 20 and getting max armour with decent runes was no problem at all, and if you wanted to PvP you could make a PvP char that was instantly 20 where you could create the gear you wanted. Though you'd have to unlock a lot of it either through just regular PvE or through PvP points, but even that was fairly easy. Play through the PvE stuff with one char and you should have pretty much everything you need for PvP.

Heck, if you're dedicated you could reach 20 in a day with Factions and Eye of the North fairly easily.

Not dedicated enough, obviously. You have to be a masochist to play MMOs, more so with Korean MMOs though.

I wouldn't say Guild Wars or GW2 is a true MMO in the sense that there isn't really a real sense of progression with those games. But that's my opinion.

I'm interested as well, because I really can't see why there'd be any greater sense of progression in something like WoW, I just found that to have a needlessly tedious leveling experience just to keep you subscribed longer.
I'll admit that since it's so easy to hit max level and armour in GW that it's a bit more important to set personal goals, but even then the game gives you a hand by giving you a bunch of titles to work on if you're into that.

In GW2 I'll admit that there is a certain lack of progression and not a lot of realistic goals. All the goals you'd like to set are too far away, if you want armour then you'll want either T3, which is ridiculously expensive, or dungeon armour, which is a massive grind. If you're into cool weapons then they're all ridiculously hard to get. Sure, they might be somewhat realistic if you're the sort of person who can get really into GW2, but personally I feel that there's not a lot along the way. For instance, in GW pretty much anyone can get a set of prestige armour, it takes a bit of dedication, but if you just play the game you'll eventually have enough, or close to enough, for a 50k armour at least. In GW2 there is no "playing the game", you get through your personal story and then that's it, after that the game has no clear goal for you, it's just "go out there and grind".
I like the way hearts and vistas and stuff works, but it's only fun on the first character, it feels like the game punishes you for making more characters.
In GW you've gotta do missions to progress, sure, but once you've completed the campaign once then you sorta know what to do and how to do it, so subsequent playthroughs of the campaigns are less tedious because you know which quests you can skip and you know how the missions work to get through them more efficiently. In Prophecies you can even run past the majority of the missions.
In GW2 everything is equally grindy and boring every time.

... Aaand I'll stop there, I could probably write an essay about what I like about GW alone, and then another one on why I don't like GW2 all that much, and then yet another one on why GW is better than GW2, but I'll stop my rant here.

GeekShot was specifically the TF2/CSS/et al tournament.

On the "What i've been playing" front, checked out GodMode and it looks good, coming out in a couple weeks, but been investing a bit of time into Dawn of Fantasy, a persistent world MMORTS that was released about a week ago. 20 bucks from their site with a couple perks.

And incidentally I'd never have believed that was a real game unless it was actually steam that had notified me that it was available for purchase.

The irony i'm seeing with blood dragon is that it seems that 15 bucks is a pretty low price for a standalone title. I think what happened is that they slashed the price from a potential 30 down to 15 due to the leak ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22095115 ) and are going to see overwhelmingly positive reaction to charging a fair price for DLC on day 1 release.

Neverwinter beta.

what do you think of it?

I didn't have enough time to hit the max level cap in this closed beta, but it was pretty fun for how far I did get. It was really easy to get into and the combat is more engaging than some MMOs I've played/tried. The combat feels like a mix of Aion and Tera. It's really easy to figure out where to go for your quests and they don't just make you run around town to do tons of different errands. It has the feel of an epic story too which is kind of nice. I also tried out the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn beta this weekend and I definitely prefer Neverwinter over it. FF XIV just didn't feel as intuitive for questing and getting into the game in comparison and it felt like way too much running around town to do quests, at least early on. Combat in FF XIV felt a lot slower also and just didn't feel as fun. FF XIV just felt a bit boring to play and questing felt like more of a chore than anything. I'll definitely be playing the Neverwinter open beta when that comes around and probably will buy into retail.

Same thing with Cart Life. I don't know why indie games seem to have poor KV/M controls. It's not like this is cross platform with a controller in mind.

it's fantastic but the only thing about it is that if you're using an emulator instead of a flash cart, you wont really be able to do combos during battle. so in other words the combat will be the same as it is in earthbound. this isnt a problem as you dont need the combos to play the game, it just makes you need to grind more.

i'm on my 3rd playthrough of Mother 3 right now. nothing else to play until Dark Souls II comes out in 2014  :(

Thanks for reminding me, I played Earthbound for the first time last summer, and have been hearing nothing but great things about the fan translation of Mother 3!

it's fantastic but the only thing about it is that if you're using an emulator instead of a flash cart, you wont really be able to do combos during battle. so in other words the combat will be the same as it is in earthbound. this isnt a problem as you dont need the combos to play the game, it just makes you need to grind more.

Ahh cool, thanks for the info.  I'm playing on a supercard dstwo so i'm guessing the combos will work!

Oh wow that's crazy, I just started playing M3 as well. I really am not too fond of it so far, it's so straight forward with little exploration and so far I have only been solo or in a party of two. Plus there's TONS of text, I mean it is an rpg, but damn. Like 3 paragraphs everytime I talk to anyone. Really hoping it picks up gameplay wise and gets zanier like Earthbound was 'cause I am starting to lose interest in [MR.RAPE] and his favorite food [WARM JIZZ].

The story and action has picked up, but this game has one of the worst battle systems imaginable. Some of the beats are absolutely impossible to get, this is a really really poorly designed system I think I'll just grind XP rather then relying on combos. You should never force your user to go out of their way to avoid certain enemies, like the ones that insta kill you if you cannot beat combo correctly the first time. That's just bad design. I couldn't imagine trying to play this on a GBA without save states at the ready each time you encounter an unavoidable enemy that you can't but need to combo to win.

Well, for Diablo, a lot of people had a really high expectations from Blizzard. But GW2, I understand its not a huge company like Blizzard but to not release actual content for months is just ridiculous for a MMO, especially when the content that exist is really small in terms of quantity>

This never really bothered me, because I came from the original GW which didn't get like new dungeons and major stuff added regularly, it was 3 campaigns and one expansion over the course of about 7 years, and while they did add quite a bit of new content outside of that, it wasn't on the scale people probably expect from WoW, so I don't really have a problem with the lack of new content. Although I could probably write an essay about all the other problems I have with GW2, being a big fan of the original.

D3 also has it's fair share of problems, and coming from D2 my expectations were pretty high for D3 as well, so it was a huge letdown when it was finally released. Still, it's a fun game and I don't regret buying the CE at all.

Well, I have never played GW but I had friends that played GW and they were really disappointed with GW2. On top of that, they said that the pvp system was far more interesting in GW than in GW2. I have been on JQ for a long time and when they locked the transfers delay to once per months, my server got super over populated which resulted on a dominance in the WvW, it got really boring.

thanks to the recent steam sale, i'm wading through the star wars games. KOTOR (1) is kind of buggy on windows 7, but considering it was made for 98 and 2000, its pretty incredible it runs at all. Battlefield 2 isn't nearly as bad a port as some people would have you believe, and Jedi Academy, although tedious, is pretty close to what I remember it being.

Your best bet is determination, patience, and Ebay. I snagged a copy of Chrono Trigger with the original box manual and inserts for $39.99 which is a total steal. Most of my other SNES games I bought from lots. You drop maybe $50-60 for a lot of a dozen or so games and there's always a couple gems in there, but now I have 4 copies of Super Mario World :p

Also, don't even mind Earthbound. It's a great game but gaming hipsters have put it on this pedestal like it's the best thing ever and thus warped the going price of a common game to ridiculous standards. If you wanna play it, do it on an emulator and don't let those greedy bastards perpetuate that inflated price.

Haha I just went to that site and threw all the stuff in my cart to laugh at the price. I'm probably not gonna buy much from there, although their prices fluctuate a lot, so occasionally I've been able to snag a good deal. There is a local game store here that has a good selection of old games and they sell them really cheap compared to online stores. I just go there once every couple of weeks and look. I actually picked up Shaq-Fu the other day :p not a very good game, but at the same time, so very awesome. Do you find the lots on Ebay as well? I rarely use Ebay, so I don't really know.

every decent snes game is pretty expensive. you might as well just emulate and get a usb snes controller.

I love game cartridges though, don't really know why, there's just something awesome about them. And I'm pretty fond of Nintendo's systems, so I don't mind paying a little more to have the actual thing, even though emulation is so much more convenient. I actually might try finding another SNES for cheap and put a raspberry pi in it to use as an emulator. I saw a project where someone built an adapter to use the original controllers instead of USB ones with their rpi, so it might make for a pretty fun summer project.
Title: Re: What computer games do you play?
Post by: Internetlad on Wed, 08 May 2013, 10:46:22
I'd recommend, assuming you already own a controller, just getting the controller to usb adapter and using a program to map the keys. Much more efficient. In my experience the 3rd party controllers aren't worth the ticket price (I picked one up, and the responsiveness is nothing compared to a real SNES controller. You could splurge and get a high quality gamepad that isn't a Nintendo knockoff, or go all out and make your own with proper switches, but in the end spending 30 bucks on a Logitech 6 button pad is probably the best option.

Just occupying myself with that and LoL while I wait for Elder Scrolls Online, Starbound, and Star Citizen to be developed and released.

If anybody wonders, I do have the new Deuce Ex (revolution?) but can't run it at a good frame rate on my computer and just am bored with the action-overload that is Revolution.

I do love the design, lots of monochromes. The daytime rooftop stages are like a Piet Mondrian painting.  :)

Starcraft 2 is my main game basically since it came out.
I will also regularly play Civ 5 and Battlefield 3.

I splash in some other random games and TF2 if enough of my friends get on.

:-)

I'm a huge Starcraft guy. Do you play on the NA servers?
Yessir and the other ones if I have ladder anxiety, am drunk, or bored.

Add me :-) I'm pretty sure its Thurston.775 but will verify when home. (No zero in bnet name compared to gh name)

I play on NA as well. What league are you in? I'm currently plat in 1v1. Didn't play and team games in HotS yet.

I'm playing the new Metro, it's a pretty sweet game.

Still working my way through the original. One of the games that fall into the strange category of "I like it, but only for an hour at a time"

I could play STALKER all day long and not get bored, but Metro, despite being superior in many ways, just can't hold on to my attention. I think it's because I don't really enjoy playing it, as it's really a rather difficult game. The stealth sections especially, since if you get spotted once, it doesn't make you start over, but you have to shoot your way out despite overwhelming odds (it's usually like 10 on 1 and you're supposed to take them out one at a time), Plus it gives me a horrible sense of claustrophobia, even when you're outside the levels are completely linear, whereas with STALKER you just sort of did it however you wanted.

Maybe the problem is I expect it to BE  STALKER but it's not. Still a good game and well put together.

Been playing a LOT of KSP lately, just now working on docking and building a space station (Kerbal International Space Station, K.I.S.S.) but it can be a real pain as I don't understand the maneuver system, so I do it all by hand. I think I need to have another run through the tutorials (When I started playing, maneuvers weren't even in the game)

I think when I get home tonight, I'm gonna design and launch another space station and a few fighters. The video "Battle of Vulture's Drift" is really cool. I think the best part of KSP is seeing the work-arounds people come up with because you don't necessarily have the objects you want, so if you want a missile you have to figure out how to make one, etc.

It was the opposite for me. I love S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but I get tired of it pretty quickly, whereas I just finished Last Light yesterday (played through it in a little under a week).

The gameplay was really awesome, much better than 2033, and the atmosphere was just as good as 2033's. I didn't really like the story though, the romance with Anna felt really odd and I felt a lot more disconnected from everything than I did with 2033.

On an unrelated note, I made a Geekhack BF3 platoon if anyone wants to get together and play that sometime.

The second level? Yeah, that was great. I think I ended up disguising myself as his drug dealer and poisoning his coffee or something.  I prefer to try and get the silent assassin rating most of the time.  I think once I beat the game on normal i'll go and try it on professional or even purist.  I can imagine those two really test how good you are, haha.

I was incredibly disappointed with how much easy mode they put into the game compared to Blood Money. The automatic headshot mode, the "I can see where people are walking" vision, too much HP on 47, he can eat like a whole clip and still have health to spare. I only played the first level thus far and I'll probably give it another go, but it seemed like they really went too far making it "accessible" (aka 12 year old CoD Xbox gamers who don't know **** about stealth games and think that shooting everything in the head with a sniper rifle is the way to go.)

Some of it is negligible, I know. You're never forced to use the "hitman autoshoot" mode or the "instinct vision" (whatever they're called), but they did the same thing with Ace Combat:AH, dumbed it down so the majority of idiots don't have to learn how to do it right. It's the principle of the thing.

Metro and Stalker are two completely different games based in very similar worlds. The stealth sections of the first Metro irked me. While those sections weren't a game killer they were annoying enough to make me put down the game and call it a day. In a way I enjoy the claustrophobic feel of the game. There's this constant feeling of urgency that crawls up my neck as I stroll through the underground. I just love that atmosphere and the detail.

I have really enjoyed the STALKER games but because they're so large sometimes I get overwhelmed by the size and feel this weird sense of being hopelessly lost. In Metro its just keep going forward. Two different games, very similar worlds.

I've been wanting to play KSP, it looks absolutely fantastic and a very rewarding game. It does look like it has quite a learning curve. So much to do, so many ways to do it.

KSP reminds of Tekkit mod for Minecraft.

I can't disagree with anything you've said, playing through 3/4 of the game it's definately felt that way.  Even though the levels are very non-linear, it does feel extremely dumb'd down a lot of the time.  If you're playing on normal difficulty, the AI of the people you need to avoid is downright pathetic at times.  I thought the whole point and shoot thing was a little unnecessary too, I remember first using something like that when I played Splinter Cell: Conviction.  Even though I haven't used it once so far in the campaign I do feel it kind of takes away from the whole "hitman" narrative.  I just like how they give you so many options of completing your contracts and getting through your objectives.

KSP reminds of Tekkit mod for Minecraft.

There is a big learning curve, but personally, myself with absolutely no prior training in anything close to aerospace engineering being able to pick up the game and have fun, that's saying something. There are 4 tutorials covering the basics of launching, finding your orbit, manouevering, going on an EVA and landing, all of which I HIGHLY reccomend if you want to play the game a little more "properly"

It is very much a sandbox game. You set goals for yourself, you learn at your own pace. at my skill level, having played for several months off and on, I can more often than not make a mun landing and back with the ships I design, but the game comes with stock ships too so you can get some ideas or flight experience from that. For me the most fun is building and flying your own ships. If you want to make a ship with 100 solid rocket boosters, do it. It won't fly very well but you can do it.

Incredibly, incredibly fun game. I would reccomend buying it from the KSP store so Squad gets a few extra bucks (I think steam takes a 20 or 25% cut of the sale price, a dev from another game told me once.) If you want to see videos of somebody who is basically, in my opinion, the defacto master of KSP, check out Scott Manley's channel on YouTube. Some other, more fun channels you should check out are KSP Insane Rocket Division and the test pilot series from HOCgaming.

If you get into it, this is the sort of game that can eat hours and hours of your life and prove an incredible bang for your buck.



Back on the topic of Hitman, I DO like the built in "contracts" feature. Very smart. Adds replayability without actually needing any extra work involved, and challenges you to solve the missions in a way that you, or possibly even the devs, hadn't specifically thought of.

Me and a friend picked up BF3 recently, it's a lot better than I thought it would be. It does bring back memories of BF2.

Though I'll say this; there are so many bull**** deaths, and stacked teams seem to be the norm. We've had very few games so far where it's actually a proper fight rather than a steamroll one way or the other.

Pretty much the main reason I stopped playing it.  There are a ton of deaths that I know are just impossible.  I've been playing from almost the beginning, so I know that when I get one shot killed by someone who should be suppressed, something funky is going on.  That and the ridiculous lag spikes that seem to be common these days.

One of the big problems is that everyone is a sniper and most of them suck at it.  Whenever I decide I want to snipe, I run L96 with a holo with 1911 or something similar as my sidearm and and playing on the front line.  I want BF4 to have a server setting that enables an America's Army type mode where you have a limited number of each class.  That way, you only have 10-20% of your team sniping and the rest spread evenly between assault, support, and engineers.

I've been playing Awesomenauts a bit. Best with Froggy G because his splash dash is OP. Gnaw becuase his spit-up is OP, and coco because even though she sucks, her thunderball is OP.

Basically all the nauts are OP. Their auto attacks are too weak and they all have one game-breakingly good move, and one pretty useless move. my two cents.

Other than that, fun time waster.

I know I'll get hate for this, but I came from console and used to play strictly FPS games (mainly the CoD series), so I still have love for my FPS  games like including CoD (I mainly play MW2 and MW), but I have definitely expanded my gaming horizon :P Aside from CoD I'll play TF2 from time to time, Warframe, L4D, Killingfloor, CSS, Darksiders, SR3, Garry's Mod, and Metro 2033. Even though I rarely have time for games anymore, I'll play when I have some time to slack :P

Why would you get hate for already making a good choice?

Honestly I don't care if somebody plays console. I can see why you would want to play console (basically it's easy mode of gaming)

It's when somebody starts swearing up and down that "Controller is easier to use for <fps, rts, etc>" I agree that fighting and driving games are better with a controller, but I can always hook up whatever peripherals I want to a PC. If I want to play WCS with realistic, 400 dollar A-10 throttle and flightstick, I can do that.
Bonus points when they say that the PS3/360 have superior graphics and gameplay. Yeah 720p@30fps is pretty hardcore, man.

What this guy says, there's no shame in having risen from the humble beginnings of a console gamer to being part of the PC Master Race  :p

I haven't been big into multiplayer lately, it just doesn't really interest me to go online and play against people anymore. I've played pretty much all of the recently released big name titles like the new Tomb Raider, Bioshock: Infinite, and such.

Metro Last Light will forever serve as a reminder of why I built a beast gaming PC, because that game was just so visually stunning, zomg... lol

The one issue I take with Last Light is how they greedily made the hardest difficulty setting DLC. That's just spitting in the face of hardcore gamers who would buy the game on day one and actually want to play it through on that setting. Honestly, a blatant and consumer unfriendly money-grab that doesn't even make sense as really only the smallest portion of dedicated players would play it on max difficulty anyway. You ought to reward these players, not try to deter them from purchasing your game.

Yeah, I agree with you. It wasn't a deal-breaker to me however, because I just wanted to experience the game, and it was definitely challenging one whatever difficulty I played it on.

lol, I didn't understand some of the puzzles, so instead of using a scalpel, I just used a sledgehammer and just built my own bridge/ladder to get where I needed to go.

I'm almost sure I didn't do the disappearing bridge right, I just saved up a bunch of cubes from the auto-cube-spawner, and built a big ladder instead of actually going over the bridge, lol.

Speaking of Indie games, you should all try "Receiver" that's available on Steam. Has a really unique concept of gunplay where you're actually responsible for loading bullets into the magazine > putting magazine into gun > cocking the slide. I think all shooters should be like this!

lol it's so hard to reload under pressure. the keys could be mapped a little bit more intuitively (of course i'd know how to let go of the magazine i'm holding in real life and take a new one out of my pocket.)  but when i'm getting chased by a drone I can't ever seem to reload.

Hard as hell, i'm convinced i'll never beat it (never made it past 3-4 tapes without running out of ammo or being shot and there are 11 tapes) and it doesn't help that the map is HUGE and large portions of it look exactly the same, or seem to repeat (now that I think of it, is the map randomly generated?)

The gun mechanics alone are worth the ticket price, but I wish the overall game was better than "run around, find cassettes"

and of course, nothing better than slowly pulling back the slide on your 1911, releasing it, and rounding the corner to pop that turret.

What really made it for me was the fact you can un-cock a pistol (or at least, a revolver) by holding the hammer button, holding the trigger button, and releasing the hammer button. That blew my mind a little that they thought to include that.

This^ lol

You pretty much touched on everything. I find it really annoying sometimes that the spots to one shot the turrets/drones can be really vague sometimes. Also, for quite awhile the game would start me with the M1911 with the safety on and I had no idea why I couldn't do anything with it..... fail lol.

I don't find the key-mapping that bad. It probably took me a solid week to commit the keys to muscle memory and then I was reloading/loading like a pro.

Finally, I hate the revolver.... like I usually commit suicide when I spawn. I really wish they would allow you to select a weapon to start with.

To an extent. If you didn't do "everything" ie all the side missions and whatnot there are those. Obviously the story arc is the same but you can make minor choices (kill ashley or kalib. .  whatever his name was) that change dialogue/cutscenes.

I find the most fun comes from playing a completely different class (everybody just plays soldier)

Actually i always played as female shepard and used vanguard as my class. So maybe next time as male, maybe. Well, i will wait on it till it drops in price.
Anyway, what dlc should i get. I mean are they all good or essential in a way? Oh and very important is the original ending worth seeing or should i install the patch (not sure if its installed automatically already).

I would suggest not worrying about it and playing it with the patch. Nothing they did fundamentally changed the ending, it was just a couple of scenes and such from what I remember. None of the DLC is really needed, although from what I've read definitely get the last DLC they released for ME3, I hear it's just really fun.

I don't know about any of the DLCs, I only played the first two base games. I avoid Origin like the plague.

Maybe not the "right" place to ask, but while it's on my mind, I recently found out that "gamer" headphones are basically a fleece, and got a pair of "Studio" headphones. (light years beyond my Turtle Beach X17s) Does anybody know a low-cost USB connected volume knob that I could put on my desk to control. . . the volume?

All I want is a volume control knob, I don't need a whole amp/mixer setup. Like 10 dollars is about what i'm looking to spend. I expect if I can't find a pre-made I could try to figure out how to make one, as I've been looking for a project for the ~150 dollars worth of soldering equipment I bought and thus far haven't used :(

I really can't imagine that there isn't a low cost device that consists of essentially enough programming to tell the computer what it is and if it wants the volume to go up or down, and a rotary dial to do so.

This one seems to be pretty nice, probably gonna get it (tho more for video work)
But yeah, a simple volume knob would be nice (perhaps mute/un-mute on press).

but it seems it's gone now (?), makes things somewhat harder >.>

I can't get back into CS. At one point in my nerdlife about 7 years ago I was pretty darn good. Maybe not comp good but pubstomp good at least.

Nowadays i'm getting insulted by 14 year old micspammers who think they're hot **** because they shoot you with an awp, and bind retarded sayings to hotkeys so they can spam them as fast as humanly possible over and over when they get a bodyshot kill on you. Kind of destroys the experience.

Bonus points for the one guy who I told "Well I just play for fun" and he responded "LOL IF YOU LIKE DYING THAT'S FINE." I probably did the same retarded stuff when I was younger, but since I no longer have 6 hours a day to commit to playing a single video game, nor the ambition to do so now that I actually have a family who constantly want me to do stuff, I guess i'll just take it.


On the other hand I don't throw my gaming equipment nearly as much anymore, so it might be a good tradeoff.

Team fortress 2 mostly and a bit of Counter Strike  :p

TF2 died for me with the mann co update. Played a bit of that robot co-op mode, that was neat. . . but a lot of the new weapons are just retard teir. Very few are true sidegrades, and i'm sure that if I actually sat down and played today it would be almost a totally different game, and I wouldn't know what the hell was going on.

I'd like to redownload it and try to find a server that blocks the unlocks (or at least the majority of them. Some offer "different but balanced" gameplay, like the KGB, Kritzkreig or scottish resistance. Some are straight upgrades, aka hand holders like the black box, some are just conceptually retarded like the spycicle and the candy cane. . .then there are some "what were they THINKING" items that are either continually OP, or are stuck in some sort of buff/nerf limbo like the FaN/sandman where the core design of the item is so broken that it's simply unfixable in a team based multiplayer game.

Haven't found any game that i like to play online. Its nice to be able to, but most of the time they are flooded with jerks.
And, yes, i am horrible online. Thats why i gave up on CS, even though i bought the latest one but my reflexes truly suck now. I am more into rpgs or adventures. I just got me Deadly Premonition Directors Cut. Borderland 2 is on my list too. Played the first one and it was very addictive.

I play CSGO, dota 2 (current favorite), Gw2, TF2 (played a few seasons of comp, ESEA open high), and a few single player games.

I have a LoL account with over 800 games, but I'm better at dota, so I quit LoL. Best idea I've had in a while. I was so bad.

I'm the absolute worst cs player, I really never got into it, I mostly like to watch it.

Gw2 was my favorite until I left for Japan (had zap drop on me the day before I left LOL). I now prefer dota 2 because it's rather to watch. I can't play games here because I didn't bring a PC.

My TF2 career was short lived, as I really hated the game. I made a solid medic though. I still play it for ****s n giggles every now and then. Mostly when I get bored of farming gold in gw2.

EDIT: Accidentally a word.

Finished Mass Effect 3. Took me 38 hours and i think i was level 40.
Sadly, the ps3 version does have same lag issues and i hate if game designers don't let me skip scenes. Especially if you at the end and you want to try every choice. arrg...
Overall fun game, but as far as faces goes, it looked mostly like puppets which is a negative.
Did everyone enjoy the end? I think i liked red although blue has its charm too.

Multiple characters to play with and level up.  I have been playing for months and will continue indefinitely.  I only have one character maxed out, and a second about 1/2 way there.  Still 4 more characters to play with.  Pick it up, one of the great ones in my eyes.

I'm playing Torchlight at the moment. I followed Torchlight 2 very closely as it looked so cool, but never bought it in the end. I got this last week for free and it is so much fun. I hope the second game appears in a sale somewhere soon.

I'm also interested in Arma 3, but it looks fun and scary in equal measure.

Also also, stuff on PS3 and Vita.

I don't mean scary as in Excorsist. I mean scary in that there are people who take the game very very seriously and being a newbie it is intimidating.

Not sure whether I already posted in this thread.

Nowadays, all I play is online multiplayer games. Specifically, I play little else outside of Dota2 and Battlefield3.

Though I am still waiting for that next generation arena shooter. In the mean time, BF3 is the most fun FPS for me to play with a bunch of people. Counter Strike is cool, but after so many years, I just feel like I should be moving on. At some point you realize that you have gotten everything out of a game, and in the future you will never again have as much fun (or in my case, play at a higher level) as you used to.

she played uncharted 2/3

now she's on assassin's creed, ezio's triology (2,brotherhood,relevations)

i don't think i'll let her play 3, i thought it was a crap game, i don't want to subject her to the same. I'm thinking either dark souls(never had the time to finish it was on last mob, and time just went by) or skyrim, either would take her months.

after I got fed up with Valve's BS after the Mann Co update in october (2011?) I quit TF2 and gave away all my in-game posessions to my friends. In hindsight it was probably about 100+ dollars worth of merchandise (Genuine hats and weapon collection, I played a LOT.) Wish I would have known the marketplace was coming.

The only stuff I have now is a few hats that I got back/couldn't bear to part with worth less than 15 bucks. Still not worth it for the memories of the good times before F2P, the elimination of micspam, retarded weapon unlocks (cough, huntsman, cough) and back when I was good at FPS.

only time COD was cool was with the very first one vCOD, I use to close the server with 200 kills in 30-35 min DM offcourse at Brecourt with the KAR98, and probably 20-30 deaths or so.... COD2 was already flopping and COD4 too, with COD4 is where I just gave up on CAL-o and whatever was the other competitive division TW(something, I forgot).

They don't make them anymore like that but, there are indie games that are good when comes about FPS gaming, TripwireInteractive is one of them, RedOrchestra 2 and its add on Rising storm, try it out and you'll see, wordlike mechanics in it, if you run you start getting tired and you slow down, if ur tired and try to aim your gun sways.... pretty cool game, also pop smoke will cone out with Vietnam DL, and one another Dev team with WW1 DL, hoping for one more team to have the Hungarians in WW2 DL.

Just sold some TF2 Items and bought L4D2 on sale. I love the Steam Item Market so much.

after I got fed up with Valve's BS after the Mann Co update in october (2011?) I quit TF2 and gave away all my in-game posessions to my friends. In hindsight it was probably about 100+ dollars worth of merchandise (Genuine hats and weapon collection, I played a LOT.) Wish I would have known the marketplace was coming.

The only stuff I have now is a few hats that I got back/couldn't bear to part with worth less than 15 bucks. Still not worth it for the memories of the good times before F2P, the elimination of micspam, retarded weapon unlocks (cough, huntsman, cough) and back when I was good at FPS.

I may cash out what I can. IDK. I need to give it some thought first.

Also, SC:BW campaign. My APM is like 35. I play super safe, it takes me about an hour to establish a base, and then another hour to build some top-tier units and destroy every enemy building even when it's not needed, with such micro that I hardly ever lose more than a couple of units.

OOOOOOK. Gotta be a troll post, because SotC is one of the most atmospheric, incredible, awe inspiring, highly praised, and innovative games ever to grace any video gaming console ever.

Just gonna chalk that up to some kinda ironic anti-humor.

It's not, the game is compete garbage. The controls are horrible and you spend most of the time fighting them in order to get your rag doll character up some massive hairy troll.
The PS2 version is even worse because the frame-rate is garbage. It's a bad game with it's redeeming feature being how it looks, which isn't enough for a game.

Recently played through Digital: A Love Story and Analogue: A Hate Story, really enjoyed them. I've gotten two of the endings in Analogue, going to see if I can be bothered getting the rest before Hate Plus is out.

Also played through Gunpoint, I can see why it gets the amount of praise it does.

Started on Dust: An Elysian Tail tonight, great game so far at least.

I'm currently playing Borderlands 2, Final Fantasy XIV: ARR Beta (when it's up), occasionally some Path of Exile and Torchlight II. I'm also trying to work my way through The Walking Dead episodes when I'm bored. It's sort of like watching the TV series (which I love). Recently logged a few hours in Civ 5, but dropped it because that game is only really fun when you're playing against real people and my friends play other games like DOTA2 or LoL (hate MOBAs). I'm also just now starting in Dishonored (Assassin's creed meets Bioshock), but it hasn't really captured me.

I recently set up a minecraft server on my Synology NAS and my eldest boys (ages 9 and 5) log in to that to play together. Sometimes I join in with them to keep them interested and to let them know that I approve of their gaming. :)

New Vegas was such a fabulous game, and in my opinion much more enjoyable than Fallout 3! Everybody rightly thinks Caesar's Legion is a bunch of scoundrels and they really are, but what I found amazing was that if you actually side with them and talk to Caesar, he has some incredibly interesting things to say. That and the rest of the story were absolutely top notch though, and now Obsidian needs to do an Elder Scrolls spinoff!

I've been playing The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. Pretty decent ARPG, though remembering the keyboard is really hard since 90% of the keyboard is mapped to something it seems LOL. It's way less grindy feeling than Torchlight. I'm totally glad I picked it up instead of Torchlight 2.

I will have to give Digital: A Love Story a go, looks really interesting. I still like to play 1980's text adventures from time to time so it seems it should hit the spot.

I'm not that far gone on it, but I played halfway through (the sea snake/dragon thing) and got fed up. Wait 5 minutes for a chance to jump on, climb for 12 minutes, fall off or get hit once. bull****. I never finished it, and I didn't consider it the god-teir game everybody else seems to. It was a unique concept and had some good puzzle gameplay, but other than that wasn't anything special.

In other news, Shadowrun Returns owns my soul. Still chewing through the included mission and i'll probably hit up the workshop and/or level editor (I have a rough idea for a short mission i'd like to make.)

You should definitely get it! We don't play every night but the game will definitely pay itself off, whether you're playing with friends or by yourself. The game is just that much fun :)

Oh gawd, I couldn't agree more with Dark Souls. Got the limited edition on day 1 for PS3 and played the **** out of the game (also played the **** out of Demons' Souls, which I also got the limited edition for). Honestly, I don't find either to be too difficult but it's hard enough to provide a good challenge that you need to be paying attention and be focused while playing it at all times. It's also getting fairly cheap (it was even less than $8 during the Summer Steam Sale!) so no excuses!

We have a steam group? I think I found it but I didn't understand at all how it worked.

GH CSGO Group is in the works

Bunny is a champion among men. You can't say enough nice things about him.

If you liked Crysis 3, you should definitely do yourself a favor and at least play the first one and the expansion Warhead. 2 was fairly good too but the first one and warhead are spectacular.

Agreed, the first Crysis game is amazing. Yeah, the story isn't worth paying attention to, but it's such a fun game to play. Crysis 2 dumbed it down far too much so I completely lost interest after that, not getting 3 unless I can get it for free or at least 75% off.

Bastion is pretty great. I chose one ending where you give up a thing to carry another dude out of the place you're blowing up then you carry the guy to the thing and it flies off into the unknown instead of going back in time

It's AI vs AI randomly selected characters of a pool of hundreds. Each progressive match in MUGEN the AI learns how to counter the opponent based on how they play and their moveset(hence the term 'download complete') so some matches can get pretty good if they get to round 4.

Well I've figured out how to get stuff into orbit, finally, but now my problem is aligning the orbits of my space station parts. That's the bit I can't seem to wrap my head around; how to alter orbits so that they end up like I want them rather than crash into the earth.

Kerbal Space Program, it's both great fun and very frustrating. I'm not enough of a space nerd to easily understand orbits and how to manipulate them properly, so I've kinda hit a wall. I can easily get things into orbit and I nearly managed to send a probe to the Mun, but that's as far as I can go. Trying to construct a rocket in space is hard as getting the orbits spot on for docking is beyond me.

Lately I've been playing 'Papers, Please' quite a bit. It's a great game, giving that satisfying nostalgia feeling of playing a game from childhood like Oregon Trail or Carmen Sandiego. Though it's much darker and quite a bit more difficult. It gets quite challenging as the game goes on to process enough people while checking all the various documents and rules without incurring a penalty for mistakes. If you like type of games I would highly recommend it.

Looks like an interesting game, although for the moment it's only on my wishlist as there are other games that need to be played first, and when it comes to buying more games it's got a bit of competition.

I'm actively trying to improve my StarCraft II so the company I work for can compete in the After Hours Gaming League (http://afterhoursgaming.tv). The last few single player games I finished were Tomb Raider, BioShock Infinite, and Spec Ops: The Line. Of the three, Tomb Raider was the best, Spec Ops was an amazing surprise (seriously, play it), and BioShock Infinite was fantastic.

Next up is XCOM the Bureau but who knows when that will happen because I also need to finish The Last of Us on PS3.

Currently hopping between Starcraft 2 arcade and FFXIV. I'd like to play FFXIV more but unless it's early in the morning or late at night, the servers are pretty full. Then again, I think they are upgrading the servers soon, or maybe they already have, so I'll probably be playing more.

After I got my Orbweaver 2 days ago I decided to play some Quake3, just some bot matches to get used to the pad.
Didn't play it for quite some time, but I quickly realized how slow and clumsy today's FPS are in comparison...

Check out Warsow (http://www.warsow.net/), an open source Quake 3 Arena clone that's based on the Quake 2 engine which blows my mind because it looks amazing cell shaded.

Ended up turning to it rather than Q3A proper because Steam doesn't have the Mac version and many of my coworkers are Mac-only.

I'm a casual gamer on occasion! I guess this mean I don't play games on a regular basis, I might go for a couple of months without playing anything and then go on a two-week streak of a single game...

My interests kind of vary, currently I just play Euro Truck Simulator 2 (yes, it's a game that I drive trucks) and a little bit of Minecraft. I also like hack'n'slash rpgs, Sacred is a favourite of mine, Sacred 2 too, Torchlight II I also enjoyed... I like racing games too, played most of the NFS series (Hot Pursuit games are my favourite though). I also enjoy some Age of Empires II from time to time...

As I said, varied interests :)

Used to play this in school since we had macs all over, so much fun. Although playing online isn't really the same, so I don't play much anymore. It's a really fun game, we ended up getting pretty much the entire class in on it, even the fake tan girls with little interest in computers beyond facebook. The entire class in deeemsix instagib is the most amazing cluster****.

My friend made it into GM in North America back in WoL (top 200 in all of NA) and probably had an APM of 250+, which is pretty good for someone that isn't Korean. If you want to play, go ahead and play, you may be good at it, it just takes practice.

I played more when it was still nexuiz. Once the xonotic shift happened, there seemed to be very few people playing hook anything in my reasonable ping area. I check up on it once in a while, but i guess everyone's too busy playing COD... or raising kids, or whatever.

I hadn't played this game since like 2004 (played the original back in like 1999 along with Rogue Spear... yeah yeah I'm semi-old), and it made me realize why I loved these tactical shooters (and SAS) since I was so young! I think the last tactical shooter I played before this was SWAT 4, which was also pretty damn good.

I'm planning on getting Takedown Red Sabre sometime in the near future, so anyone who plans on getting it and wants to play with me, send me a PM!

I actually tried squads but so far i have iTeam fighter. For the moment i just browse servers to find the right one. Not easy but i know there are some that are moderated.
What worries me is only that Battlefield degrades like Call of Duty. Now there is already another one coming. I loved Battlefield 2 and i still miss the quad leader position in which you were able to call in strikes, supplies and most importantly were able to order your squad.

Anyway, i enjoy the game so far even though i get killed a lot. I don't mind that but of course i want to get better so i can enjoy it even more. :)

MINECRAFT!

I'm still playing too. Sometimes I wish I played this game with people. But then I remember people like to grief. Damn people.

You just have to play with the right people. We should start a geekhack server.

I would be all over that.  :)

Let's make it happen! I dunno if I could host though. Leaving the computer on for all day, every day doesn't sound like it would work.

IIRC there IS a GeekHack server, but it's whitelisted. I think you have to request access in #geekhack_Minecraft or something like that in Freenode.

Battlefied 3. Nice game even though i suck at it. But i love it.

highest score is usually abusing sniper spots with a phoenix down guy.


If you're running around by urself, you're doing it wrong.. you'll always get pwned..  Get into a squad with zappers.

I actually tried squads but so far i have iTeam fighter. For the moment i just browse servers to find the right one. Not easy but i know there are some that are moderated.
What worries me is only that Battlefield degrades like Call of Duty. Now there is already another one coming. I loved Battlefield 2 and i still miss the quad leader position in which you were able to call in strikes, supplies and most importantly were able to order your squad.

Anyway, i enjoy the game so far even though i get killed a lot. I don't mind that but of course i want to get better so i can enjoy it even more. :)


Are you playing DM or Capture



I prefer Rush or Conquest.

Got into Warframe recently(I blame Binge), so that's pretty much what I've been playing for the past few days.

I did try the BF4 beta, could turn out to be more fun than BF3, but the beta didn't really interest me enough to drag me away from Warframe.

Third person shooter, free to play, very well done. Tutorial doesn't really give you a good taste of it, so don't write it off after the tutorial like I did at first. The brilliant bit is that while it's F2P, you don't really get it shoved in your face like Blacklight: Retribution or something. The more you pay the less fun you have, since at the moment a lot of the fun, at least for me, comes from crafting new frames and weapons, and then working out new playstyles.
Still in open beta though, so if you try it out expect some bugs and crashes along the way, as well as more content. It could really use some more mission variety with different pacing imo.

I'll definitely look into it! I honestly haven't played a Battlezone game since like 1999, and no, I'm not exaggerating, but I love nostalgia and classic games so I'll be sure to look into it. Thank you for the recommendation!

I know that in older versions of the game, there was a glitch with the fourth (hardest, IMO) boss where you could essentially immobilize him until he was dead, and the speedrun world record holder was able to beat it in 13 minutes, 41 seconds with 4 children.

However, once that glitch was fixed, the same guy was able to do it in 21 minutes, 10 seconds with 7 children, so as far as I know, I'm tied with the world record for children.

http://www.twitch.tv/smitetv/c/2581669 (http://www.twitch.tv/smitetv/c/2581669)

He essentially takes advantage of the shinobi's super-high attack strength, though I usually have better luck with the barbarian king or regular ol' knight.

Edit:  Though he did use a gamepad, while I just use my keyboard, so I can probably say I have the world record while using a keyboard, lol.

Playing through Outlast. The beginning of the game is pretty standard horror fare, using the tiresome 'unexpected thing makes the player jump' scare tactics and I was about to give up on it. But after the first hour or so the game really comes into it's own and takes a wonderful turn for the atmospheric unknown, creeping dread, and portrays some truly disturbing visuals and concepts. I would defiantly recommend it if you're looking for some thrills or like the idea of being defenseless and hunted. There are some moments where I let out an audible "what the ****" which is always a sign things are going well. The game's extremely violent and full of high levels of gore, but it's really the ideas that aren't directly mentioned that are the most disturbing. It's not in subtext or representational notions like in Silent Hill, but contextual to what the player can piece together from the scraps of files and notes that are littered around the hospital/jail/experimental torture site and the things/people you see. So far so good, and remember: always play with headphones in the dark, like a man.

Next up its Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs followed by System Shock 2, so it's going to be a good couple of weeks.

If you want to use your mouse, a higher resolution, and/or properly customize your controls, make sure you download a port.  ZDoom, Doom Legacy, jDoom, and gzDoom are all great ports. 

The latter two offer opengl for very much improved graphics, but I still prefer the classic feel of software rendering myself.

As someone who played Doom stock as a little kid when it first came out until the present, I can't stress enough how much a modern port adds to the game.

Sudoku on my phone.  I'll occasionally break out the SNES emulator or MAME, but I try not to spend too much time on the PC outside of work.

this was the case with darksouls. Their servers went down and I was unable to play darksouls for about a week and had to be on the phone with customer support a few days... GFWL is a deal breaker

Just purchased Doom Classic Complete for $2.00 which includes Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Master Levels for Doom II, and Final Doom; I know what I'll be playing tonight >:D :cool:

Sounds like the best possible night

It was pretty glorious! Definitely was fun to play a difficult FPS for the first time in a long time. Must play more tonight!

If you want to use your mouse, a higher resolution, and/or properly customize your controls, make sure you download a port.  ZDoom, Doom Legacy, jDoom, and gzDoom are all great ports. 

The latter two offer opengl for very much improved graphics, but I still prefer the classic feel of software rendering myself.

Age of Empires 2 (non-HD)

I'm amazed that graphics look so good on a 1600×1200 screen, although it was released in 1999, and support in Wine is almost flawless.

I just wish its developers/designers actually knew something about history, not just learned about it from books for little kids.

Frame rate can be in the high 80's, then dip tremendously to teens for no apparent reason......guys at IW did a piss poor job of optimizing it for PC.

I wouldn't know, didn't play the first one. Witcher 2 seems to be well-regarded overall and its a pretty good game so far.

Just finished Metro: Last Light, and I really enjoyed playing...
Witcher 2 (picked it a while ago on GOG for less than $5) very impressive graphics, nice story and a simple but good enough gameplay mechanics
Crysis 3 is a bit embarrassing for me to say that I wasn't skilled enough to be able to finished the story, but I'm enjoying the multiplayer a lot.
I also recently finished FarCry 3 liked it, other than the disappointing ending of the story I like that game.. Also the multiplayer is surprisingly solid!
Mirror's edge is a game I keep playing again and again (mostly for speedrunning) but I'm also excited for it's upcoming sequel..
Portal 2 is also a great game (one of my all time favorites) with absolutely brilliant script, continues the awesome and innovative gameplay of the first portal with a great story and a lot of great humor (gotta love weatley).
Also, I picked up the newest tomb raider in the latest steam sale (I skipped that game the last time it was on sale), I like it, but not that much (I have a thing against 3rd person games in general).
 
I'm waiting for a good sale on assassin's creed black flag, maybe thief, and natural selection as well.. Hopefully we will see another large steam sale this christmas..
 
What games are you planning to pickup in the next steam sale?

Uhm... it's not too bad. It IS in "Alpher" stage so there are a bunch of bugs. Overall not much progression from the ArmA II mod. I'd wait until getting it, but so far it's been fun. Just not worth $30 in my opinion

im pulling the trigger on DayZ because of your post. I had shunned it because it thought it was warZ/infestation made by that douchey developer who wasnt giving refunds/deleting posts about his crappy game. After reading your post i decided to check it out and it looks pretty cool.  :thumb:

Everyone says get DayZ now because it will go up in price, but its going to be in Alpha for apprx 12 months before going into beta, so the price wont be increasing for atleast a year (All stuff posted by staff on their forum and twitter).

Great game, but I never did get very far. Only ever beat the second boss.

It is not an easy game.

Though, I tried playing it once on my wife's old laptop, and it was super laggy (like consistent, but everything was half speed) and holy CRAP was it easier. I beat the first two bosses on my first generation. It just took forever.

Bought the original Enemy Unknown in the last Steam Sale and liked it so much I bought the expansion. Great fun.

Tried Ironman and got slaughtered on Original. Savescumming through Normal is hard enough.
Yesterday I did an escort mission and sent out my MEC to take a look. Trigger 6 enemies and have them run into the building only to immediately kill the Escort and one of my, almost fully tricked out, soldiers... Load Game.

Maybe I will try it on my next playthrough. :P

Yeah, the story in Sleeping Dogs is surprisingly good. First time in a game like that where I've actually cared about the story.

Also, controller is down to preference really. I used a controller for maybe half the time I played it, and it works just fine without. I actually ended up switching back to mouse/kb for the shooty bits when I used the controller.

I've been playing Sleeping Dogs over the past two days and... The ending portion left me in shock and speechless for quite a while later. I don't think any other game so far has given me so many different feelings at the same time. :eek:
If you guys haven't played it... You're missing out. Seriously.
(You might wanna use a controller if you play on PC, though. Just saying.)

Yeah, the story in Sleeping Dogs is surprisingly good. First time in a game like that where I've actually cared about the story.

Also, controller is down to preference really. I used a controller for maybe half the time I played it, and it works just fine without. I actually ended up switching back to mouse/kb for the shooty bits when I used the controller.

I have 200 hours in sleeping dogs..  My dream is to become a Triad Member..  no such luck though.. 

And IDK if people know this.. but the whole plot is 100% based on actual events.. this is exactly how Hong Kong is ran.

The voice over guy for Jackie Ma is  "edison chen".. the guy involved in the sex scandal, where he pretty much had sex with every HK female celebrity he came into contact with.. alleged sex-addict.. LOLOL

My guess is he contributed a great deal of realism and indepth information into the Triad industry.

The extortion,  the pimping of female celebrities,  the grasp and reach for "respect/ status"..

Been playing a lot of coop games with my brother recently, including Magicka, Portal 2, Monaco, Guacamelee (when I was home for Christmas).
Play a bit of Hearthstone and CS:GO as well.

Somebody tell me if rust is any good if they have it/played it. Looks fun, but I need some friends to play with.

Rust is alright. There's not much to do so it gets boring quickly, but it's fun to build up a huge base with friends. In its current state it's not worth $20, but new stuff gets added every week.

oh god, after years of hurling insults at friends who play MOBA games i finally played league of legends for the first time a week ago and then later i tried Dota2 a few days ago. holy **** these games are addictive and fun as ever imagined. League seems a bit less serious than Dota2; Dota2 just feels really intense and looks to involve a very large time investment. League shows its age and it looks to me Dota2 is the better game technically but I don't know if i have the time needed to invest on it to get good; lots more to learn.

These games get stressful if you actually take time to learn the mechanics and strategies because you'll always have people who don't understand these things and make poor game losing decisions.
So I would say make sure you always play with friends because that way you always have fun together.
It's very painful, sometimes, to be in losing games with people you don't know.

Started on ZX Spectrum games LOL, I remember a monochrome flight simulator on a screen resolution of 256×192 pixels... some isometric 3D games... That's maybe why I'm still having fun with Diablo II (not the 3). Played FPS for a while but don't like them anymore, I prefer not so fast paced games where you have to use your mind, and deep content games prior to graphics performances, that's also why I stopped playing WoW. I loved Dungeon Keeper and Evil Genius, great concepts. Wakfu is a nice concept too but not deep enough. More casual now, I often play W.O.T. which is f2p and very well polished tactic/simulation game but lacking RPG elements. Surfing the web to see what's coming next but it seems that nothing new will come, more and more cinematics, more and more graphic effects... but less and less "use your mind" concepts, more and more online shops, bugged releases, online laging gaming (omg Path of Exile), 100% tutorial games concepts... so I'm writing a book stacking all game concepts I've never seen and my boiling brain is able to catch^^, that's why I need a good keyboard  :D

I remember this game on the NES, unholy hell was it awful. It may have been the first game that ever caused me to go into a seizing fit of uncontrollable rage. The **** perspective on many rooms, coupled with the pinpoint accurate jumping that's required. God damn, I'm having daymares just remembering it from 20 something years ago.

Started Tomb Raider over the weekend, enjoying it so far, will probably start another one of them once I complete it.
Also started Shank, not normally my kind of game but it's pretty fun, even though I'm really bad at it and so it can be rather frustrating :P

I thought this thread was about COMPUTER games?  ;)

Talking about driving games, though, I love how Forza 5 looks, but won't be forking out for an X-bone just for that. Forza 4 will keep me happy enough. Not fair that PS3'ers can play the next gen driving game on their boxes, but 360 owners can't. Sigh. Anyway, Forza 4 is still "better" than GT6  ;)

Back to topic: I just started playing WoW again (peer pressure, friends are in other countries and it's a good way to be social and have fun together). Must admit that I'm hooked again. They've made some big improvements to the enjoyment of the game. Less grinding, more interesting environments, less complex talent builds. And a race I love, goblins.

The next expansion (Warlords of Draenor) will finally bring some updated character models and animations.

Forza is a good entry level racing game but it's far too arcady for me. The physics are pretty bad and the track selection worse. That said my ps3 computes (just) so that's why I put it in here :P

But yeah Forza 4 is the only one I played and hated it. The further up the ladder of super cars you got the worse the handling and AI got worse. But hey that's just me... Gt6's physics is so much better than gt5's though I can't go back! Even though cars are harder to handle you get so much more feedback it really is very enjoyable!


But on PC games.. Played some more mgr now that's on steam... Still a fantastic game... Oh and ofc sc2

That's exactly what made me stop playing WoW : simplifications. WoW is still a mmo but they killed RPG after BC. Nowdays, all MMORPG are clones, nothing new, targeting 12 years old players. Only EVE online and few other old games like Ultima or EQ2 still deserve the RPG label IMO.

Been playing lots of Call of Duty lately... mostly BO2 Zombies, with the occasional Ghosts (but Ghosts kinda sucks).  Only decent thing about Ghosts is Extinction IMO.

Is wolf among us any good? I looked at it and it seemed interesting but i'm not really into buying games when they come out.

It's pretty good!
I normally don't like this style and genre of game -I couldn't even muster through walking dead- but wolf among us is well done.


Awesome. I enjoyed the heck out of the walking dead. So i might need to look into picking it up.

Started playing deus ex: human revolution director's cut because I didn't play the play original human revolution.
Finished the first mission.
Realized I forgot about the hostages and I should have asked for a non lethal long range weapon at the start.
These vent placements also have these 90's era of obnoxious intuitiveness.
Time to restart later.

Is RotMG considered an MMORPG? If so, that's the best mmorpg ever

Realm of the Mad God? if so yes that is a awesome game to play

On my side of playing games I mainly find my time on League of Legends most nights, started playing Natural Selection 2 which is super fun, even if I have no clue what I'm doing but it has bright lights so I'm entertained :p also started to play Spiral Knights because it look super cute and I want one :3

If you ever want to be friends (Because I always want friends, I want all the friends) you can add Fire_brand15 on steam or Pixelated on LoL Yay future friends :D

Picked up Octodad before the weekend so me and my brother played some of that on roulette mode, very very fun.

Currently just playing CS:GO really, looking to start a new single player after getting through Tomb Raider, just not sure what to go for at the moment.

You lucked out, it's a good game, but the boss fights in the original were annoying.  Supposedly directors cut fixes that issue.

moba's aren't that hard.. I've tried to get into SC2, and man, that is some game than needs (IMO) real work to get into (i mean, from the single player into the online mode there's like billions of things you need to cram into your head to be average :) ).

Map control and a balanced team(1 or 2 carries, 1 tank, 1 support 1 jungler or 2 supports. that's like 80% of the lineups) is what you need in DotA2!

You just need a team that doesn't suck haha.
Dota's actually quite difficult on a higher level with capt's mode - when you're not playing against pubs.
I think that's where more of the game's dynamics tend to shine.

Also nobody really plays as a jungler - that's just in pubs.
Its way too easy to gank and shut down a jungler. Dedicated junglers are practically free gold and kills.
Also two supports always.

I think you haven't played dota until you've actually found a good team that doesnt fail at trilaning (among other things) and rotates properly.

Started playing deus ex: human revolution director's cut because I didn't play the play original human revolution.

You lucked out, it's a good game, but the boss fights in the original were annoying.  Supposedly directors cut fixes that issue.

Just beat Barrett a few days ago. I can still see what you mean. They just added an extra room with turrets that you can hack or something.
Anyways, I didn't upgrade any of my combat augments (because I don't engage in direct combat) and I didn't upgrade my stealth augments either and I didn't choose the turret override augment ... so yea the boss battle felt very unnatural and stupid.

I actually crawled into a vent which led into another room. Turns out the only way out of this room is through that same vent because the door control actually has to be hacked from another terminal located on the second floor ... great because now I'm stuck with Barrett on the other side. Anyways, I just took pot shots at Barrett with my shotgun and he eventually killed himself with grenades.
Now I pretty much lost interest in this game again.
Some parts of this game just aren't coming together for me to bring out the Deus ex experience.

This is fun.

I used to play ALOT of online games.
Ragnarok Online, WoW, SWTOR, Tera Online, Minecraft.. (before all the updates?)
DoTA, League of Legends, TF2, and CS 1.5, 1.6, Source, GO

I used to not understand why people played single player games. Now I do.
Boy do I hate getting queued with troll players. I quit partially due to a point where I would just get queues with players who wouldn't play the game.
Also league meta 2 stronk.

Might pick up single player games- like that new pirate Assassins Creed game... Starting to look real nice. No social player interactions, trolls.. just you, a ship, and some booty.

Then my graphics card died. Running on intel's HD 3000. Might purchase a mid-range one soon.

I just set it up, I played it ages ago on PC with no problems :P

1. Download 'Fusion364' emulator
2. You'll need a ROM of the game, Sega CD version is the best either EU or NA which ever you 'have' ofc...
3. Then you need to grab a bios file that relates to the version of the game your running. I have an NA ROM so I'm using an NA BIOS, to set this up simply run Fusion, go to Options > Set Config > Sega CD and then browse for the BIOS you have in the right box;

(http://i.imgur.com/ZnQJbq7.png)

4. Once this is set up you'll probably need to set up your controller, I originally used my DS3 but atm am using my 360 wired controller, to set this up it's super easy, going back to that Set Config menu, on the Port 1 section if your using a 360 controller the second drop down menu should have 'XBOX 360 For Windows' as an option and then click the define button to map it. Bearing in mind Snatcher only uses like 3 buttons, can't remember off the top of my head which but you can easily re-map it at any point.
5. File > Load SegaCD Image
6. Enjoy!
(http://i.imgur.com/v9nyho8.png)

From start to finish I think it took me about 10mins to go from nothing to playing it with my 360 controller, super easy and super quick, just gotta be a bit careful what and where you download files from, and try and avoid websites which provide an .exe 'download' manager program nonesne :P


It's a fantastic game and really is a mix of Blade Runner, Terminator and Kojima nonsense. Though the end of the game is brutal and I've never gotten past it but I'm going to give it another go with the 360 pad and see if I do any better.
Getting Policenauts up and running in english is alot more work, though again totally worth it... though the fan translation isn't super great in places :P

Eh, I don't play call of duty for the single player, I don't think many people do.

Ghosts maps have absolutely no flow at all. It looks depressing, no colors anywhere, everything blends in (including players into the scenery) and overall it is just terrible. I am so glad I didn't buy this game, it is the first cod game since cod4 I have not purchased and I don't care one bit.

It looks bad, it runs bad and it isn't fun at all. COD4 is still better even though it is so much older, BLOPS2 was also way better and it wasn't a great game.

The singleplayer is nice
Eh, I don't play call of duty for the single player, I don't think many people do.

Ghosts maps have absolutely no flow at all. It looks depressing, no colors anywhere, everything blends in (including players into the scenery) and overall it is just terrible. I am so glad I didn't buy this game, it is the first cod game since cod4 I have not purchased and I don't care one bit.

Good to see I'm not the only one bothered by the maps in the recent CoD games. MW2 had great maps, but MW3 and Ghosts both have poor map design. Seems like Respawn stole all the map talent, since the maps in the Titanfall beta certainly felt more like MW2 maps than any MW3 or Ghosts map ever did.

I've been playing a lot of games recently, mostly roguelikes (Risk of Rain, Our Darker Purpose).

Got back into Diablo 3, seems much more enjoyable now that the new patch is out so I think I'll pick up the expansion.  I've been playing HC on EU.

Played the Wildstar stress test, I'm very excited about that game, and of course there's the new Amerish and sniper rifles on Planetside 2, the new leagues on Path of Exile, Star Citizen, Everquest, Grim Dawn and so many other games....!!

I'm beginning to worry I won't have enough time to play them all as much as I'd like!

Shameless plug here, I have a twitch channel where I'm streaming regularly (4 days a week).  If you like that sort of thing check it out here. (http://twitch.tv/cryptboss)

It's pretty good and pretty cheap, you should get it when you have the money. I got it for free because I bought Overgrowth a while back (same devs). Basically Overgrowth is a punchy kicky blood-physics-y rabbit 3d platformer parkour/freerunning simulator. Super fast, fun and brutal. You should get that too, although costs a lot more.
Title: Re: What computer games do you play?

Overgrowth is still in alpha at best, isn't it? I loved Lugaru, so I'm really looking forward to this one.
Title: Re: What computer games do you play?
Post by: paicrai on Wed, 05 March 2014, 13:14:14
Yeah, it's been in alpha for years but still VERY frequently updated to this day. But there's like, what, two people working on it? And It's still very solid mechanics wise. I wonder when they'll finish it. It's surprising how active the community is, despite the seemingly small amount of people there are, too.


Also I just want to say that both Receiver and Overgrowth are very, very mod friendly.

Finished replaying official single-player campaigns in Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings yesterday. I've got to say, those graphics look very good even 15 years after release (unlike StarCraft, unfortunately) and the game design is pretty damn impressive. If the AI wasn't so stupid and didn't cheat on higher level, the game would be pretty close to perfect.

Playing through Stick of Truth, and it's actually a really great game. I expected it to be "Oh look. Another South Park game. Well this'll be forgettable." Not only is it a loveletter to Southpark fans everywhere, but the game actually has a lot of heart and is very well done(although the battle system does has some major flaws.) There's tons of little touches that add so much polish to it. It reminds me a little bit of Earthbound.

I don't know if I would pay full price for it though, although I never want to pay full price for anything. I am just using family share for it as I wasn't going to buy it in the first place, but it is much better than I thought.

It's really fantastic, but people calling it short arn't too bright. The game isn't really designed like any other MGS game as is designed for you to replay it over and over, with different objectives and during different times of the day.

Oh trust me, I know the original D3 was absolute ****. Not only did I experience the day 1 (night) error codes, but I also experienced my account being hacked during a crucial time, and they ended up rolling me back by days (hours upon hours of play time), and I was greeted by an almost bare account... let's just say I quit the game very soon after (after I beat inferno pre-patch, as in before inferno was nerfed with different levels) up until after patch 2.0.1.

I must agree that $40 for an update is quite expensive, but at the same time, the new act is extremely large and long, and the new player class is quite impressive and is currently my favorite. I've already put close to 60-70+ hours since it has been out, and that's coming from someone who despised the original game :P People should definitely pick this up! It's awesome.

Yeah, the new patch and expansion(an actual expansion, in this day and age!) makes the game so much better. I didn't really have much of a problem with the old D3 except for the fact that it was kinda boring, but now it is so much fun.

And they brought back the hammerdin. That was a happy discovery.

So yeah, I was coming into this thread to say that I am currently playing D3. Got my Crusader to 70 and currently working on getting a Demon Hunter to 70(6 levels to go), although I made a new one rather than level my old 60 DH because I felt like making another DH.
After that I'll probably work on getting my wizard to 70.

I've already put close to 60-70+ hours since it has been out, and that's coming from someone who despised the original game :P People should definitely pick this up! It's awesome.

I don't know about that... I mean the new patch has made the game really great and I've been playing with my Barb and DH alot... almost to lvl 60 now with my DH... but I've heard the new act can be finished in an hour or two... :/
I really think that the adventure mode should have been given to everyone to bought D3 day1 as a sorry for the cluster **** that the main game was for almost its entire life and then made the expansion more meaningful.

Adventure mode sounds really cool, but knowing Blizzard, the time-frame for the updates they have said they want to give it put me off buying the expansion for probably another year or so lol... I mean ****, getting them to do anything they have promised or said they would for Sc2 has been a harrowing experience... and given that they have only just fixed the vanilla game, I put little faith in them bringing any of the cool **** to market any time soon lol



That said, I'm still having a good time playing though the vanilla game with friends and solo... I've really enjoyed just chilling out with some music and killing some fools

I'm late, but I just bought Diablo III.

Not too late :P Just in time for Reaper of Souls, and you didn't have to go through the hell we Day1Buyers had to go through from the first night up until the recent 2.0.1 patch. You only get to see the good side of this game :P

The whole original version of Diablo 3 was ****. Having your account hacked and all your loot stolen for Blizz to then just turn around saying "well that's your fault for not having an authenticator" when people with them where still get hit was pretty awful.
Since loot 2 patch the game has been much much better, though the expansion is crazy expensive

Oh trust me, I know the original D3 was absolute ****. Not only did I experience the day 1 (night) error codes, but I also experienced my account being hacked during a crucial time, and they ended up rolling me back by days (hours upon hours of play time), and I was greeted by an almost bare account... let's just say I quit the game very soon after (after I beat inferno pre-patch, as in before inferno was nerfed with different levels) up until after patch 2.0.1.

Yeah, the new patch and expansion(an actual expansion, in this day and age!) makes the game so much better. I didn't really have much of a problem with the old D3 except for the fact that it was kinda boring, but now it is so much fun.

And they brought back the hammerdin. That was a happy discovery.

So yeah, I was coming into this thread to say that I am currently playing D3. Got my Crusader to 70 and currently working on getting a Demon Hunter to 70(6 levels to go), although I made a new one rather than level my old 60 DH because I felt like making another DH.
After that I'll probably work on getting my wizard to 70.

I don't know about that... I mean the new patch has made the game really great and I've been playing with my Barb and DH alot... almost to lvl 60 now with my DH... but I've heard the new act can be finished in an hour or two... :/

Yeah, the original D3 was boring, but it was boring IMO because the whole reason for playing was to farm gold so one can spend the majority of their time in the auction house. Auction House was the primary reason D3 never really worked for me, and it defeated the reason to play. Many of my friends pretty much spent 30% of their time actually playing the game, which during that time, they were farming for gold and praying to god for a decent drop, and then spending the remaining 70% of the time buying and reselling items in the auction house for gold... :( This also brings to light the fact that you couldn't play end game (inferno) without buying the majority of your gear. RoS is drastically different.

Not only is the Real Auction House GONE and now people are actually playing the game to get better gear, but in RoS, one can actually find gear that lets you survive Torment I-II, which has plenty of great drops constantly coming out. After starting RoS, I replaced my high end gear which cost me a fortune (in gold/never spent real money), which I was using for over year without having to replace even one part, in like a day. Not only that, I'm still replacing my gear at least 2 items at a time a day.

The new skills are also pretty awesome. I have only experienced the Crusader and Wizard 70 skills but man does it change a lot. The wizard, which was my main in D3, is so much better with black hole, and mixes things up with different combinations of active and passive skills.

Adventure mode is everything and is what will/does make this game a real "endless" experience. Before with the original, I couldn't spend more than 2 hours every 3 days playing because Crypt Runs were so horribly boring and repetitive, and it was pretty much the only thing to do in the original which wasn't just wasting time. If you were lucky, you could get a decent group to do it efficiently and get okay experience, and if you were even luckier, you were rewarded with a useless legendary that you could sell in the auction house lol. This new mode lets me go anywhere at anytime for a fun dungeon run with different monsters, different areas, and different mission types, and provides real rewards. Not only were you rewarded with lots of experience and high chances of upgrade gear, you also get blood shards which you use to buy/gamble gear from a merchant that can result in a legendary, horadric cache bags after completing a map of missions which gives a bunch of random goodies, which can also result in legendary goodies. Rift keys are also given which are used to open a rift that is pretty much kill until you summon a big boss for lots of experience and higher chance of even better loot. What makes this even better is that you could do all this in small sittings if you wanted. A person can jump on RoS and play for 30 minutes if they wanted and still get their fair share of experience and rewards. This was near impossible in the last game IMO.

I do agree though that Blizzard is absolute **** right now. They aren't even a quarter of what they used to be pre-World of Warcraft days (yeah, I'm a WoW hateboy; sue me). WHERE THE HELL IS MY WARCRAFT 4, oh right, they are too busy spending time creating more ****ty WoW expansions bc dem cash cow.

I don't know what the original game has gotten in terms of upgrades since RoS release but I think adventure mode should be given because it changes how the game is played. With that said however, I think being able to reach level 70 and obtaining the new skills is important. The new gear that can be obtained at higher levels is also crucial for being able to fight things in Torment levels. That kind of stuff being locked out of the original, I think is normal, along with the new Act. But yeah, it would've been better if the whole thing was just free to those who suffered through D3 SINCE day 1 or early buyers as an apology, but only to those who have had the game since early into the release of the original. The people who joined after pre-patch (patch that fixed the infamous impossible inferno) don't have much to complain though, IMO. You got your money's worth (for today's standard anyway... which doesn't say much, sadly :( ).

As someone who cleared inferno BEFORE it was nerfed into the ground (solo'd witch doctor,) I would still say even with all it's flaws I got my moneys worth out of D3. Some of the most rage inducing and rewarding moments were spent crawling through Act 3 at a snails pace for a solid week. Not enough to make me come back for seconds with RoS though, even if they've fixed the majority of the balance and cookie-cutter issues, gamers these days are fickle.

Yeah, I also beat D3 pre-patch but I dunno if the rage and anger was worth it because at most times there was nothing to really learn from the experience other than you needed to spend more time farming gold or using money for better gear in the auction house. It did come with bragging rights among D3 players, if one wanted though. It also comes with memories and nostalgia with friends who suffered through it with you.

I also agree that I got my money's worth out of D3 in terms of the hours I spent on it, but I also can't say otherwise to those that disagree :P

Yeah I hear what your saying, though the patch made normal D3 much better in every way that you described, I half my gear is legendary and I'm switching that out every few hours becasue I've found something better etc... I'm lvl 60(5) atm and having alot of fun like I said :P

But yeah I'm with you... as a former Sc2 player everything Blizzard does is half-baked/half-****ed... so I'm not really sure £32 on an expansion pack is good value... but once I max this Paragon bull**** I think I might have too just becasue I'm so deep... I might aswell get deeper lol :/

I mean yeah sure, it was a brick wall of an experience. Banging my bloodied head against that gear check over and over, but the fact that I look back on the summer of '12 with nostalgic memories means it couldn't have been all that bad. Yeah, it forced you to use one viable build to clear inferno but even with a lifedrain/crit rain of toads build it was still difficult at times (****ing mortars.) The real money auction was really what put the most sour taste in my mouth. An obviously easy to abuse, pay to win system was a disgusting money grab from Blizz and it's not at all surprising that didn't turn out for them (well unless you count the tens of millions of dollars they made from it.)

Hehe :) Yeah, the value one will get out of this expansion is really up in the air. I'm sure you'll make the right call for yourself :) I guess it all depends on how much one will enjoy the grinding and looting. You won't really be maxing your paragon though because it's almost unlimited so you'll eventually be running into a wall with no more upgrades but not being able to increase the Torment level because of too strong enemies, and you'll end up craving those extra 10 levels and the new skills and gear (if you end up enjoying it long enough). Just so you know though, when you start getting frustrated because of this "wall", I can guarantee you that the expansion will fix it. Just not sure for how long though :P When it comes to RPG's, I tend to calculate their value based on how many hours I spend on it :P Silly me. On the other hand, I could probably spend $15 on the Last of Us DLC and spend 2 hours on it but still say money well spent because of the experience :) Maybe that's silly too LOL :P

Yeah. Nostalgia usually puts everything at ease in the long run hehe. We just laugh back on it now and talk **** about it :D

Yeah, Real Auction House is pretty much 99.99% reason the game was fook'd. If it wasn't there, inferno would've been fixed earlier because the game would've been impossible for 99% of the players otherwise. It also would've been fixed properly (compared to what actually was done) in that it would've been a system where proper loot was dropped. However, all they did was nerf monsters while keeping the loot drop absolutely useless.

But yeah... no more pre-patch talk... it's bringing it back :P It's long gone now w00t!

yeah :P idk.. Blizz makes it really easy to dislike them alot, becasue they only seem capable of making a game thats good and then everything else they manage to totally ****... like the auction house, like the fact that the PS3 version dsnt connect to bnet at all so you cant play with PC players and vice-versa, like all of bnet 2, like Sc2 lol...

and yet I have almost 3k hours in Sc2 before I stopped playing and in D3 on my DH alone I have 50+ hrs lol.... so yeah :P

Well anyway least thanks to this convo I now understand Paragon stuff, I wasn't sure if the lvl70 stuff was only in the expansion or not... though I'm playing on 'Master' and am having no troubles at all with it lol... take it the expansion is harder?

I believe lvl 70 comes with the expansion, and Act V is quite more difficult than the others in terms of the strength of the monsters. Also, boosting from Master to Torment is also quite drastic too. Make sure to give that a shot. There are also 6 different levels of Torment so you still have some things to experience :) You probably won't be able to go beyond Torment 3 with level 60 though (I have a level 70 wizard and crusader with decent gear and I can't go beyond Torment 2 comfortably :P ). Also note that higher legendary and set legendary gear won't be dropping much, if at all, in anything below Torment difficulty.

I just picked up the original D3 game and for someone who never played it, I'm having a lot of fun. Leveling is pretty quick while playing Master difficulty, I wish Legendary's were a little harder to get. I'll probably end up picking grabbing the expansion, it's a fun game when you just want to kick back and not have to take it too serious.

Yeah d3 ros, me too.
Shutting down AH, modifying drop rates accordingly, and adventure mode were all huge improvements imo.
Now one is not forced to suffer through way too hard difficulties, I can enjoy mass murdering as I always did in d2 too. There's always an incentive to go higher difficulty IF and WHEN I'm strong enough to do it without too much waste of time but I don't feel I MUST do it from start with subpar gear.
I'm clearing on expert now with about 500k dps, when I will clear master with same easy then I'm ready for t1 farming. :)

I've actually played Doom 2 player via the Jaglink cable at a trade show, which was actually really good. I can't imagine it was consumer practical though, because it effectively meant you needed to have 2 Jaguars, 2 copies of Doom, 2 televisions, the link cable, and enough wall outlets to plug all that crap in. The rarity of these things being in the same room at the same time is pretty low. Hell, finding anyone with just an Atari Jaguar is pretty low.

My dad managed to convince his boss at the time that the floor he was on all needed ipx routers for work... and then set up a massive Doom 2 network, it was glorious and the coolest thing ever.

He worked for a company that designed kilns and managed to argue that an IPX network would allow them to communicate/send drawings etc without having to stop work to walk all the way across the floor. Which, I'm told they did... but it also allowed everyone to play Doom networked, which was GLORIOUS

Due to lack of time and having two little kids, I cannot commit to a AAA or games that require a lot of time. I end up playing only rogue-like games. Short games that are fun and last max of 30 min.

You'll probably regain interest at some point, or maybe you've lost interest in those games and would enjoy some new games. That's how it's been for me; there are periods where I don't feel like playing any games, and there are periods where I don't feel like playing the games I usually play and instead take interest in games in genres I usually don't play.

i have mainly been playing diablo 3: reaper of souls on the pc lately.  but i also dabble in some Titanfall on my XboxOne.  Last night i reinstalled Guild Wars 2 before i went to bed (download takes some time) and i bought and installed a new game called Grim Dawn.  Grim dawn is a arpg dungeon crawler like diablo but it is made by some of the same guys that made titan quest so that should be fun.  arpg games for me are all about the fluidity of combat.  that is why no matter how hard i tried i just couldnt get into Path of Exile.  the combat was just so clumsy and slow. 

i am pretty excited to get these guys started.  i really like gaming on my ergodox.

In addition to Diablo 3 and Spelunky I've been playing quite a bit of Dead Space 3 with a friend. Good times, although it's not at all scary in co-op(which is obviously the way DS3 is meant to be played) so I can understand why fans of the series didn't like it. I like it though, because I'm a big wuss and don't like scary games.

Lately basically the only PC game I play is Hearthstone.  I play a lot of Spelunky, but I have to restart into Windows for that and usually I’m too lazy.  My Steam library is pretty enormous, though I haven’t been using it very much.

There was a time where I was going to start learning King of Fighters XIII, but then I sorta gave up on that, also likely related to the whole ‘restarting into Windows’ thing.  I have all kinds of fighting games for the PS3 that I only half-learn.

I decided to revisit Shadowrun Returns yesterday and noticed that the Dragonfall DLC was on sale on Steam. I'd been a bit unsure about paying full price for it, but the sale convinced me that I should at least give it a go. I have to say, I kindof regret not getting it earlier: it's definitely worth the money and then some. Everything I liked about the original campaign, but with a much less linear feel (although, let's face it, it's not, say, Fallout and it probably never will be) and a bit more wiggle room mission-wise. The NPCs are particularly great, and while they're pretty much genre stereotypes (the whole plot is pretty by-the-numbers, to be honest), everything's written well and is very memorable. Evocative in the way that well-written genre fiction always is. Is it really as good as the PC Gamer review? Probably not, but it's a damn good campaign nonetheless.

Going to delve into some of the user-generated content after I'm done with Dragonfall. And then maybe go back and play the SNES Shadowrun, which I've never played. Maybe I'll go find some people to play some PnP Shadowrun with, one of these days...

I have over 80 games. I play none... I get way too bored way too quick. Kinda like life. xD  :blank:

Just like me then. :P When I get a new game I play it for 1 hour tops, then never play it again, even if I like it...

Been playing a ton of rogue-likes these past few weeks. Rogue Legacy(recently beat!) Binding of Issac, Spelunky, and FTL.

Just can't get enough of the genre, the games are like potato chips.... just one more go at it! Or maybe a couple hundred more deaths before bed :))

If you want a more 'traditional' rogue-like experience, definitely check out Dungeons of Dredmor.  It's humorous and silly, but also a lot of fun.  Tales of Maj'eyal is pretty neat too, though a bit more obtuse.

If you're up for a super condensed, more abstract roguelike, Michael Brough's 868-HACK is pretty amazing.  Out on iOS, soon to be released for PC, and there's also a free version that predates the iOS version that doesn't contain any of the new/refined content.

CS GO, Arma 3, a bit of DayZ SA. Used to play a lot of CS 1.6 and TF2. Finished a few single player games (Fallout:New Vegas, BioShock Infinite, Far Cry 3...). So 98% of my games are FPS and if there is an option to choose a difficulty, I almost always choose the highest.

I just got my hands on the Battlefield Hardline beta.
This **** ****ing sucks, it's already flooded with hackers, aka I get headshotted and the silhouette of the guy who killed me is literally on the other side of the map and I was under a bridge. It's full of idiots yelling homophobic slurs, calling people n00bz, it's a ****ing ****storm, and above all else, the game is lame as ****. Seriously, just play BF3 on a good server. Avoid the cancer.

EDIT: Also it's pretty much a lame Payday.

TL;DR Play Payday or BF3 instead

Just finished Wolfenstein: The New Order. Aside from some tonal missteps, the occasional brutal/frustrating checkpoint (seriously, checkpoints, wtf?), a slightly mixed bag of supporting characters and a slight lack of variety in level design (pretty consistently great aesthetics, though), it's a really good FPS. Draws more from something like HL2 than the CoD games, which is something I really appreciated. Great fun, and somehow felt consistently honest throughout. Self-aware, but never ironic. Does that even make sense? Probably not.

And, I mean, come on... how could I not love a game that sees you dual wield laser rifles on a Nazi moon base?

Dragon Age Origins.

Never got to play it when it first came out and bought it when it was on sale on steam. Can highly recommend it to those who didn't play it yet and liked games like Baldur's Gate.

Got the game when it came out. Great game the, great game now. Probably the last real RPG by EA. RIP.

The Dragon Age Collection for less than $10 is a steal, even for just Dragon Age Origins.

I think it was even 5$ for the Ultimate Edition which includes most of the DLCs directly from Steam so you don't have to use Origin. And they sold it several times for that price again after I got it. Totally worth it.

Tried playing System Shock 2, holy **** that game isn't very fun at ALL... used all my psy powers trying to kill zombies when I needed them to take out CCTV camera's... no mana means that I just got raped where ever I went over and over until I'd literally beaten to death zombies and monkeys with a wrench. Had a pistol but couldn't use it...

Got super boring super fast and super lame. Dsn't help the fact that the inventory stuff dsnt pause the game so when your ****ed, you stay ****ed, and the melee combat is super garbage.

Meh.. I tried it, didn't like it, don't get it. Though I hate Bioshock 1 and 2 so I guess it's no great shock that I dislike the gameplay of System Shock I guess.

I agree with you about the hype on System Shock II. Not warranted at all, plus the UI is just terribly clunky for a corridor shooter. How many times have I died trying to switch PSY powers?
You know what else came out in 99? Counter Strike, a far better shooter. Know what else? Silent Hill, a far better horror game.

I haven't got around to System Shock 2 yet.

I played System Shock 1 back in 94/95 and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere, the blend of gameplay, it was extremely innovative for its time. And it was tough too!

From what I gather the sequel just remade it but where it was kind of ground-breaking 7 years before, the sequel was probably less so. I think they made more money with the sequel though as I know hardly anyone that played the original but lots that played or at least know of, the sequel.

The clunkiness of it - for me back then - I didn't even think of it as I was too amazed by the game itself. But I can understand today, with the highly polished shooter/RPGs (Deus Ex is closest that comes to mind) it probably doesn't compare well in terms of the 'smoothness' of the experience. But I would hope it makes up for it with depth, atmosphere and storyline.

Really want to play it... I secretly want to get laid off at work...  take a year off and catch up on my game backlog :)

The UI design is what it is, but yeah for the first hour or two your forced to kill stuff with a wrench, tiny enemies that can shoot magic that your attacks go through and then big enemies that can attack faster than you.

It's just a totally garbage start to a game.

you really need solid 60fps to enjoy this game.. because the combat isn't terribly responsive..

if you're at all ever below 60fps.. the whole control scheme is choppy.

Playing through Silent Hill 2 again via the PS3 HD collection. The biggest improvement has got to be the option to change from the old 3D style survival horror controls to and easier 2D control scheme. Although, and I say this with some hesitation in remembrance, but I think the older controls raise the desperation and tension of the game. The game feels much easier than I remember it being. I mean, I'm not going to switch back now but the ****tier controls do make the game more involving, yet feel less immersive. If that makes any sense.

red alert 3 was such a disappointment with that 30fps bull ****.....

red alert 2 was the best...

the stuff that came before RA2,  like tiberian sun, etc..  most are not very playable these days because they never really tweaked the menus for higher resolution...

I mean.. you could change your resolution everytime you play the game, but it's such a hassle.

He's a celebrity, so honestly, I don't really care about what kind of person he is. If he's an *******, I don't even know what to consider MARN or Filipino Champ. Lol... they are so much worse.

Grand Champion.

I was so sad when he lost last year, but he was the underdog and made the highlight last year by coming back up from loser's bracket. He also had the most intense game on the last game of the first set by winning the first set with a huge come back, and forced the game into a second set.

I've been playing Dishonored lately, but getting fed up with how crash happy it is.  It's almost as bad as Fallout: New Vegas.

the Crashes are arguably what makes the game so exciting.. never knowing when it's going to happen..  taking in as much of the game as possible at all times..  (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/073.gif)

I honestly don't think it's worth getting "early access" games; it's like buying the filling for a pillow with the promise of a cover at a later date.  I was thinking of getting Overgrowth Alpha sometime last year before thinking better of purchasing an unfinished game, and looking it up now, it's still in alpha and still doesn't even have a single player campaign!

In short, wait for the final, completed game to be released before purchasing anything.

There are some early access games that are doing it right; if Nuclear Throne or Broforce stopped development now I wouldn't really be too mad because both games are already very solid. But yeah most early access games aren't worth bothering with.

Well now I haven't posted here in a while.... umm I don't really play games however I do play SFIV competitively as well as waiting for Diablo 3 to come out :D ~

I recently played through d2 as an lightning/orb mage and then again as a frost zealot paladin. Amazing how old that game is, and it's kept my interest longer than cod4(WaW, not MW). d3 should own, assuming Blizzard doesn't go the same route as WoW and make it super casual baby mode

I have a couple friends that play sf4 competitively, they're god damn nuts. The only thing we have in common is we like switches (they prefer sanwa over cherry :P )

Have you gone back since the expansion release? I found that they "fixed" a lot of problems. It's still not Diablo II good (nostalgia goggles, maybe), but it's way better than release day. I quit that Diablo III after just a few months. Beat it once or twice and then it was kind of pointless. The expansion changed that, though a few patches ago, they killed one of the reasons I was playing. The removal of legendary-specific materials was kinda... weird.

Lots and lots of Spelunky lately, it's great for being able to pick it up and play for like 15-20 minutes at a time. Also picked up Dishonored and Tomb Raider on sale and have been enjoying them a lot. Really excited for Ori And The Blind Forest later this year too. Also pumped for Firewatch when it ever comes out. Swapper has been a nice puzzle platformer as well.

Recently finished The Wolf Among Us and You Have To Win The Game, both highly recommended for vastly different reasons.

Just finished playing through Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs. TL;dr it was fairly disappointing.
Aside from the fact that I beat it in 4.5 hours, and that was taking my time to explore the environments. What bothered me was being put on a rail, whereas Amnesia: The Dark Decent sometimes gave you a few options, MfP is always just a straight line through to the next corridor. Secondly there is no resource for your lantern, so there is no worry about having to conserve for it and you can just brandish it willy nilly the entire game, but you really don't need to since most of the areas are brightly lit.

Something else bothersome was that the enemies just weren't scary, just meaty pig men who lose interest in chasing you if you step further then 15 yards away, or happen to just duck behind a corner. There was only a single moment in the game where I felt legitimately threatened, and that was all the was at the end of the game. And to boot, there are so few direct encounters, and like a third of them are just unavoidable chase scenes. No insanity when you look at them, nothing, you can literally just hop around a pig man in wide circles and be just fine.

One thing it did do absolutely brilliantly is in the sound department. The ambient sounds act as an auditory guiding light, hisses grunts and crunching machinery letting you know when you are doing the right thing which is refreshing change from so many modern titles that treat the player as if they expect them to be a chimp who doesn't even know what a video game is. I cannot talk up the sound direction in MfP enough, it really is that well done.

Another thing they got spot on is the world feel. There are a lot of unique areas with art assets you see no where else in the game that obviously took a lot of time and planning to build. Unfortunately, you cruise so quickly through each area there is just no time to enjoy it. This is one case where I could make an argument for backtracking, which I generally don't like to advocate but there are many little details in each area that are easily missed.

Ultimately, MfP didn't live up to it's legacy, and honestly only felt like half a game. It feels like a real missed opportunity, and the game could have been much more fulfilling if it were drawn out a bit more. Help explain some of the paper-thin plot, and allow the players to explore some of the more sinister corners of the factory which I was so looking forward to. I am a sad widdle piggy.

I couldn't agree more. After The Dark Descent I was super excited for Machine for Pigs but everything you said was pretty much accurate.

I don't think there's anything out there quite like Amnesia: The Dark Descent right now. I'm always looking for something like it.

You should play the Penumbra games if you haven't already. Overture has a horribly broken combat system but it's necessary to play it to understand Black Plague, which is pretty similar to Amnesia (I think it's even better, actually). Both games took me probably 5 hours total to complete.

Penumbra was a good series, and set the groundwork for making Amnesia a better game. I felt like MfP was a step backwards though in terms of gameplay, horror, and storytelling.

Apparently Deep Silver is re-releasing Metro 2033 with improved textures, graphics, and game play. Considering that even 4 years after it's release it's still one of the most taxing PC games ever made on max settings (maybe the most taxing PC game next to Crysis) I'm super curious to see the numbers they pull down for Metro Redux running on max settings.  :eek:

I've basically finished Fieldrunners 2 except two 'puzzle' levels that don't work for me at all, because of some weird bug… too bad the devs haven't even responded to my e-mails for more than a month. The game is still a ton of fun though. I guess I'll keep it installed for quite a while.

I've realized I bought the original Fieldrunners as well, hence I'm playing that, but only to have it finished, because it's much worse than the new version otherwise.

Glad I didn't buy it on sale recently. The game sounds amazing on paper, but I think I'll be waiting until it's finished and I have a driving wheel.

Just played the XCOM Enemy Unknown demo yesterday because it was on sale, cannot believe I didn't jump on that earlier. It's crazy how they used the strengths of Civ to their fullest and then some in that game. Also if you like it, try The Banner Saga. Not nearly as systematically deep as XCOM, but it's still great and the art style is fantastic (influenced by Sleeping Beauty's iirc).

That sucks, I have 44 hours of pick up and play time (As in I only really launch it every now and then and run a couple laps on the nurburgring or mugello) and it has not crashed once on me. Although I am only speaking about crashing in game, the stupid 2 piece setup the game is running (The assetto corsa launcher and then the actual game) does however crash all the time. I can do the races, but once I quit a race, and it takes me back to the "menu" it is just unresponsive so I have to close and restart the game. Doesn't really matter to me though, the game is completely playable regardless.

Yeah, the gameplay felt solid, but after the last fight, I was like, "Boy, this story-telling sequence sure is long. Oh. It's over?"

I was quite disappointed with the length, so I'm certainly glad I paid so little for it. Picked up the Steam sale on the DLC season pass for $10. Had I paid $15 for it, I would have been a bit miffed.

If you go on there official forums there is a thread someone made that helps you configure the sensitivity etc which helps... but it's not easy I'll grant you. I'm really struggling with the cars more than the formula cars...

Bought Borderlands 2 on sale.
****ed around with my friends in it.
Incredibly boring when you solo play though :/

I tend to feel the same way, with full parties in co-op games everything feels so rushed, and if loot is free-for-all then it's even worse. It does depend on the players though, but if you party up with 3 people you don't really know in a 4 player co op game then things tend to feel a bit too rushed to be all that enjoyable for me.

Having a blast with this game, though I still need to work on the controller input settings as its WHEYYYY too sensitive.. but still a blast non the less ^^

Thus far, I'm convinced that a wheel is necessary to really enjoy Assetto Corsa...but I'm stuck playing with a controller. :(

If you go on there official forums there is a thread someone made that helps you configure the sensitivity etc which helps... but it's not easy I'll grant you. I'm really struggling with the cars more than the formula cars...

But it's still an alpha and there is alot left to do :) How you finding it? The only races I can do atm are on easy as half the time I'm battling the car and the controller haha

I've really just been working on racing lines. Mostly been driving little Lotuses (love those cars. So cute!), but I've been waiting to really play it until I get a proper wheel where I can use a manual gearbox and have more fine control.

I am still ironing out my driving settings but a couple cars I highly suggest trying out are the ferrari 458 italia stage 3, lotus evora gx, and the pagani zonda r. The lotus evora gx is a lot of run, its super balanced and predictable I just love it, its maybe a bit too soft but I find it to be a lot of fun. They just added the mercedes sls amg but my initial opinions aren't great, the brakes are lacking imo.

The most insane car in the game is the lotus 98t though, oh...my...god. I swear that is so crazy when you are on the boost, pro tip, be sure to hit 9 or 0 on your number row, the car is set to 30% boost out the gate, and you can fine tune how much boost you give it by pressing 1-9 or 0, I can't remember which is 100% boost.

Also, download the nordschleife, its worth it.

Don't talk bad about the nordschleife  ;)

As for controls, I dialed in a setup I am liking, still needs a bit of tweaking, but save your setup you have right now and try this. (I also suggest screenshotting your currect settings in case the backup doesn't work like mine and you have to start over)

Pretty good. It's got along way to go but if you want to try out a new sim that looks and feels really good and that has mods for F1 cars aswel as coming with an 80s lotus.  There are AI races you can set up but the AI is pretty brutal and atm I'm still not fully able to master the cars...


I got it when it was 50% off and haven't regretted it, just know what your getting into.

I loved that game! It had a really good way of implementing difficulty settings and the achievements were pretty decent.

I've been playing a lot of CS:GO lately, with ~30 wins I'm now among the best of the worst (Silver Elite Master). My friends who I play with are all Nova 3 and above so I usually end up last in the team's scoreboard but I have to say I prefer playing with and against better players than with and against random silver players.
The game is really good but it seriously needs a better matchmaking system so that you can choose to only be matched up with people who speak the same language.

Quote from: o2dazone;111241
If you like Quake III Arena, you'll love QuakeLive (http://www.quakelive.com/). It's basically Q3A in a browser, and puts you on servers that have players similar to your play style.

QuakeLive is great.  I used to play Q3a a lot but it seemed to die down.  I've been playing QuakeLive for a while and its bringing back all the old memories.  I don't play frequently though.  Just the occasional game here and there.  Usually when I want to sit down and play an FPS for a while, I go to UT2K4.

The base game has been outshined by other games IMO, but the user generated content on there is just so much fun.  I'm a sucker for Excessive Weapons, RPG servers, Slim Pickin Deemers, and C&C maps.

Whoa.  UT2004 is still actively played!? I used to be on a competitive team / clan for a while.  What are all these things I haven't heard of!? Crazy.

I almost bought a new console just for Destiny but I decided that it was more worth it to just get it for the 360 and hope that it comes out on PC later on so that I can play it with fancy graphics and better controls. Bungie have said that they want the game to eventually get a PC release so hopefully that'll come out early next year.

If you have an xbox one, or are going to get one before the middle of next year... (apparently) if you get the 360 digital version, and register an xbone before sometime next year (June i think?) you can upgrade your copy to xbone for free!
Pretty good deal.


I'm now lvl10 (which is half way to the lvl cap) and I'm having more fun with it now than I was before. I think the game has some issues atm, the first is the story. It's terrible, terribly delivered from your Ghost (who I know is Peter Dinklage, but I watch GoT in Italian so his voice mans nothing to me) and its so ****ing lame the music is so ****ing mardy and try hard... idk I think it would be alot better if the story was alot dumber and alot more fun, not Boarderlands level... but something better... or at least more bad-ass.. or something other than just mardy Prometheus rip off music. The second issue is loot, there just isn't enough, even if its ****e.. seeing loads of stuff drop from monsters in Diablo is cool!

But yeah I'm defo having more fun with it now... pro-tip, if your the hunter class go with the hand cannon!

Ohhh, thanks for the tip but pretty sad about the terrible story and lack of loot.  Those are some of the biggest reasons I play games.  I ****ing love loot.  :rolleyes:  And for me, at least, having a not **** story definitely helps me get into the game and actually want to play it.  I know some people don't care but it's a big deal for me.  If I had an extra several hundred lying around, I'd probably grab an xbox one but...saving that for another board.  :))

Some issues, performance problems and the like but I support it as 1) I'm glad for a new game in the genre and 2) it's a small small indy company making it. It's quite nice already, hopefully they'll fix some of the worst issues in coming weeks and then it'll be great! :)

Pretty sure I was on Harbinger, as well.  Been debating about going back to the game.  Are you part of a guild or anything?  I used to hardcore raid and I've got the itch to get back into it.

A coworker is supposed to send me a guild invite soon.

I've hopped from MMO to MMO (this is stating it lightly) for years and have finally settled down, I believe.

If you get in, holla - My current character's name is Kadross and I be on all weekends, and weekdays after 7-8ish PST.

Just finished replaying the original trilogy from one of my favorite series, Mega Man X. Played through X1 2 and 3 over the last week on the SNES. The first game was so good at showing players mechanics without needless explanation or hand-holding, and gave the Mega Man series some fresh blood and attitude adjustment when making his transfer over to 16bit. X2 took everything that the first one did so well and made it even better, which was tough because X1 was already so near perfection. X2 had better tunes, better level design, more epic mini bosses and stage bosses, and a sometimes steep but always fair difficulty level. X3 didn't quite live up to all the hype, especially considering it's a $300-400 game nowadays. There were some noticeable improvements such as the addition of different ride armors and the vertical dash (which is awesome btw,) but the stages just don't have that personality that the other two games do, except Blizzard Buffalo's stage which is great but that stage feels only as good as nearly every stage in X2. X3 also suffers from some very noticeable slowdown in some areas where there are too many moving sprites on screen at once, which can be bad in tight situations.

Guess this'll have to tide me over until The Mighty Number 9 is released  :-X

Now if only I still had a Playstation, I could fire up my copies of X4 and 5  :'(
edit: just realized the PS3 can play PS1 games. Huzzah!

Megaman x12345678 are all on PC Master platform...

mega man is also way better on keyboard.. because of the dash mechanic being a 3rd button

whereas on controller,  you'd have to use left trigger which is stupid, cuz that takes focus away from the directional control of the left hand..

but, on keyboard, you can handle  shoot jump AND dash all comfortably with right hand..

and your left hand just sticks to wasd,  giving you much easier time managing cross overs.

I play Payday 2 pretty regularly, mostly on weekends. I play as an enforcer(with a few points in other trees, of course). Just hit lvl 65, I think.



I'm working on Ep. 4 of The Wolf Among Us, 39SCH/31WHM in FFXIV, GoD Factory, almost at 30 with a D3 HC seasons wizard, and I just bought Starpoint Gemini 2 to try out. Oh, right, and I've just gotten an hour or so into The Witcher 2. I'm also working on Finishing up the last corridor of The Guardian Legend on NES.

Going to an office and getting paid for work is what I do when I'm not at my job!

Yeah in the moment save states are great (right befors a bad jump, or during a boss fight) for tough games like Hagane and any Ninja Gaiden game, but it's always better playing the real thing, plus using save states is basically super-cheating.  ;)

Right now it really depends, I play a bit of LoL and just recently ArcheAge, but my favorite past time has got to be FPS games of all varieties. Of course I will always have a love for twitch shooters and the fast paced arena such as QuakeLive, and I simply cannot wait for Toxikk's release. But a rundown of games would have to be LoL, ArcheAge, CSGO, QuakeLive, Red Faction (have to jump in from time to time for that nostalgia), UT2k4 (nostalgia peaking again), and DayZ.

Been playing through my Neo Geo games recently on account of getting all my retro **** set up nicely. Most of them are fighting games (Neo Geo, duh) so they are fairly easy to play through on the lower difficulty settings. Mark of the Wolves has some of the keenest and most intelligent AI of any fighting game I've ever played. It's damn near playing against a live opponent, very impressive for an older game, and frankly the mechanics and AI put 99.99% of modern fighters to shame.

On another note: 11 years and I STILL cannot get past the third level of Magician Lord. That game is brutal.

I think modern gamers have become soft. People always complain when a modern title is difficult, but back in the day they were difficult out of necessity. Like if you only got Ninja Gaiden for Christmas, that would be the game you're playing until your birthday or a straight A report card so that **** had to last. I remember the first time I beat Contra, I was so proud because I spent months trying to get through it (sans Konami code.) That feeling of accomplishment is so rare nowadays because so many devs assume gamers are stupid, and that they need to hold their hands through their vision. Just look at Diablo 3 when so many people were *****ing about (whatever was after Nightmare difficulty) so Blizzard dropped the difficulty and everyone and their feeble grandmother's were able to breeze through it.

WoW negatively impacted Blizz's design philosophy a lot (at least when catering to casual players).  It got to the point where new end-game content would get released, the non-hardcore players would complain that it's too hard and requires too much coordination, and the dungeon would get nerfed to triviality in the next 3 months.

I don't think even 1000 lives would be enough for me to beat bucky o'hare hard mode (1-hit KO, starts at 2:54)

Pretty obsessed with Wasteland 2 at the moment, although I'm going to have to take an enforced one week break as I go on a quick tour around the region. Not ideal, but I don't think I can play fast enough to finish it before I head off.

It's good. Quite good. Probably not excellent, but pretty damn good nonetheless. Quite old school and occasionally purposely frustrating though, and has a fair share of rough edges and bugs. None of the issues have dented my enjoyment of the game, though.

If you love the first two Fallouts you're going to love Wasteland 2. It's missing the ability to sneak and take aimed shots (no more shooting someone in the eyes for cray cray critical damage :( ) but aside from that it really does feel like a great hybrid of Wasteland 'vibe' and humour plus Fallout 1 and 2 gameplay.

I am alternating between Divinity Original Sins and Wasteland 2, both are successful games from Kickstarter which I backed. I must say that Divinity is very polished, have great UI and fun colours while Wasteland 2 has engaging story writing and quirky UI. I played Divinity first and so I can see many issues with Wasteland 2 in terms of interface. If you have not started either and plan to play both, I'd recommend Wasteland 2, for old time's sake. If you have to choose one, I'd recommend Divinity and yes, you can coop with your friend.

But I like Watch Dogs so far, not really that good like I imagined (especially after that gorgeous trailer at E3 I think) but still a good filler till GTA V gets released for PC :)
There's a mod (http://theworsemod.blogspot.se) that makes it look more like the E3 gameplay.

I'll try that, thanks! ;)
What other games? The only other game that I can think of that I haven't exhausted while actually loving the game is going to be borderlands the pre-sequel and who knows if it is going to hold my interest for the same 400 hours I put into BL2??

Sometimes in my room, lights off, headphones on, I shat mah pants massively playing Alan Wake :O Such a great game
I would love to have another Max Payne game but more like the old ones as compared to the new one which is somewhat a "shoot and kill" game.

 :))  I can imagine!  I played Alan Wake with a group of friends, taking turns, so it was significantly less scary.  I should probably play it again by myself in the dark.   :blank:

And I kind of ignore the fact that Max Payne 3 ever existed.  :P  I didn't really play it much, but it was different enough that I wasn't interested.

Recently sank 38 hours into Prison Architect over the course of 2.5 days which is all kind of a blur at this point.

Currently playing Mirror's Edge which sadly has physX issues, no reason why a game from 2008 should have serious lag spikes on my GTX760 and my slightly overclocked 6350 (4.2 ghz). Which is a real shame since PhysX looks really great when it works. Tried replaying Saints Row 2 but it's notoriously bad PC port has hindered my enjoyment.

How do you post link text on GH? Everytime I see it I mean to ask but forget.

Also, been playing Ghostbusters on PC. It is amazing if even a small fraction of yourself likes the movies. You get to BE a Ghostbuster, and catch ghosts with Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd. It's rad as HELL! Not to mention it's a genuinely fun game with great writing and game mechanics. Do reccommend, especially it's on sale right now.

Sounds like I need to give it another try. I played the first half hour of it and couldn't get into it.

Been playing a bunch of Transistor and XCOM lately. Also FarCry 2, such a great game.

Played a little Payday 2 the other day as well, that game is fun as hell. Such incredible gameplay.

I don't personally feel like it's $60 good..  i mean,, if you like jokes.. just watch pirated stand-up dvds.

the funny stuff is the only thing that sets borderlands apart i feel from other FPSes..   the whole rpg element is actually just tedious

I haven't had a chance to play The Pre-Sequel yet, but I have played the first 2 games. I'm not sure if I would find them entertaining if I played through them by myself, but they are very fun co-op games and are certainly worth $60 (although I've gotten the first 2 games while they have been on sale on Steam  :p). And the highlight of Borderlands is not the jokes/humorous dialog (I don't pay that much attention to it when I'm playing anyway)...what sets Borderlands apart from other FPS games is the excellent co-op gameplay and the insane weapon diversity. I guess it comes down to what kind of a game you are looking for. If you want a single player game with a great story, the I would pass on Borderlands. If you simply want a fun co-op FPS, on the other hand, then I don't think there are many options better than Borderlands.

Definitely my favorite game on PS3, and maybe the best game ever made, IMO. This game was a truly hidden gem that I preordered after playing the demo, and picked up on day 1 with the artbook. MIND BLOWN OVER AND OVER AGAIN by that game... so good... I actually aced the sheet out of this game on my first play through with no dead/lost teammates! I was so mad the sequels came out for the dumbsheet PSP, and the 3rd ones didn't even make it to the USA.... :'( I'm considering buying it again for PC...

hahaha.. well i'm assuming you got other ps3 games that would get played if you got the replacement ps3.

Did you get valkyria PC ?  it's considered the "definitive- Version"  because of how well it runs on PC..

It's true. I have many games I still need to finish on my PS3. I've actually taken apart my PS3 and fixed it before... need to do it again... get the solder reflowing through the GPU and CPU... *sigh* so much work.

I can understand that it's got 60 FPS on PC and full resolution but I still love the **** out of my PS3 version <3 That game holds a really special place in my heart. Seriously one of my favorite games of all time, if not my favorite. Maybe I'll consider grabbing it sometime. I'm just sad that the sequels only came out on PSP and are not as good :( The 2nd one is shameful, and the 3rd one actually looked really good but didn't even get an English release... *sigh* Why didn't Americans notice how great this game is, like I did, and buy the crap out of it... that way we could have gotten proper sequels on the PS3... who knows maybe even greater games on PS4... *sigh* I'm ranting and whining now... LOL.

Yea.. the injustice....

Perhaps "smarter" games don't sell as well in the US because the majority of our kids are too dumb to play them...

There is a massive aversion to Arithmetic in the US..  and Jrpgs typically play like a giant excel sheet, so, yea..  that's why we need to learn jap....

Just finished replaying MGS2 on Vita. Man, that game is a ****ing master piece. How I've aged and changed over the years has allowed me to really appreciate it in many different ways. It was a joy to experience again, even if I was a bit rusty.

I felt the exact same way when I replayed the HD Collection. The game is so much more appreciated at a later age. I played them all for the first time when they all came out (day 1) :P Yes... I'm somewhat old... :(

Your not that old :P I still remember seeing and studying like a lunatic, the OPM full cover story and massive playable demo for MGS :P
But yeah, I played MGS2 to death when it came out, literally to the point where I started to resent and dislike the game. When the HD collection came out I didn't touch much of MGS2 and focused on PW and MGS3. But playing though it again has been a pretty amazing experience. I think it might be my favourite MGS story and is definitely my favourite score.

Huehue. Thankz, babe ~<3 Oh man... nothing will be as amazing as when I first saw that first Metal Gear Solid trailer on the demo disc... that music playing while all those C4's were going off in the trailer... so good. Also that prerenderd Gray Fox and Revolver Ocelot... I watched it so many times.... so. many. times.

I actually never got to play Peace Walker even though I own 2 copies of it now from HD Collection and Legacy Collection (I know, but hear me out) because my PS3 died on me when I was half way through replaying MGS2 HD. I had already replayed MGS1 and halfway through MGS2, and I was planning on replaying MGS3, AND MGS4, so I can fully appreciate Peace Walker... but then the PS3 died... I'm about to fix it, AGAIN, so I can do it... This is also why I haven't played Ground Zeroes yet either. I know, I should have fixed it a long time ago but I've been so busy with real life :'(

I can agree that MGS2 has one of the best score, but don't know about story. MGS1 just has such a special place in my heart. I bought a PS2 for MGS2, and I bought a PS3 for MGS4, and I'll probably buy a PS4 for MGS5. LOL.

Haha yeah same, got a PS2 for MGS2 and a PS3 for MGS4 and defo a PS4 for MGS5 haha even though it's coming to PC you gotta play MGS on a playstation, it's only right :P
But yeah I do like PW a lot! I actually, come to think of it.. Got a PSP to play PW hahaha.. But yeah it's amazing on a proper dualshock controller.

I love MGS but MGS2 is so much deeper in terms of everything that's going on and how it's all connected. Its kinda insane

I still like Snake Eater more than any other in the series so far, but 2 is really a master piece in of itself.  I was bummed initially that you didn't get to play as Pliskin(lol) but the story was so well thought out, and culminated really well..I still can't handle when Emma's parrot keeps saying..."Hal"

no, signature weapons are souped up special weapons you get for doing certain tasks, such as liberating 10 forts for example, and on top of that they are EXPENSIVE

After not playing WoW for a long time, I just resubbed and ordered the WoD xpac.  I've heard good things about the new xpac, and I've discovered new (at least for me) improvements like the GW2-like Reagent Bank and max stack size increase to 200 for mats.  I might actually be able to play and not deal with playing inventory Tetris all the time!

I haven't played the high level content for the previous two expansions, so this should be fun.

Had the chance to spend a few days with an Xbox One and 20 games. Was not impressed in the slightest.

Well... some games had nice weather effects, but none of the games offered anything new or special and the majority looked like recent 360 and PS3 titles(probably because most of them are cross-port games.) Also the dash GUI is awful. You would think they would want to not do the 'many squares, most filled with advertisements' UX thing since the 360 one looks so ****, but nope!

Those are arranged in just about the correct order (except for CS:GO) for liking.

Currently playing Shadow of Mordor and AC Unity. Witcher 2 still unplayed in my Steam library in anticipation of Witcher 3. Eyeing DA: I

Shadow of Mordor is an awesome game and the Nemesis system truly discourages you from dying. Really enjoyable
AC Unity though, was a let down. I'm currently frozen in place whilst running. I can pan the camera but character is frozen mid-run. It's a shame, I'm a big fan of the AC series, all of it. But in terms of gameplay, I would say even AC3 has it beat.

Ok so after living with a Vita and a 3DS for a while now, its kinda strange and super depressing how mobile gaming has gone me thinks.

Comparing the two is like comparing my PS3 to my PS2, the Vita is better looking, better made, is more powerful, has better online support, has more features and is in general just a nicer system to use over the 3DS. The 3DS really looks and feels like a generation behind the Vita, and thats whats really very sad about it. The 3DS has by far the better games, its not even close. The best games on the Vita are HD versions of PS2 games... like what the **** is going on?!
Its so sad going through the PSN store looking at all the games out there and all there are is creepy pedo style anime games for the Vita and creepy bathing suit costumes for children dlc packs... go on the 3DS's horrible store and you have a brand new Persona game AND a new Pokemon game! Two exclusive brand new games that are awesome, coming out in one week... the Vita has nothing like either of those two games and has been out for, two years now??


idk... anyway... brb playing pokemans

There is a group of people living in Japan that are buying all the creepy pedo stuff, but that isn't the majority of Japanese gamers, it's just a small group, which is why those games and dlc packs are so expensive because they are a small group that will happily spend crazy amounts on the things they like and that are only made in Japan.

Idk it's just sad that the Vita has no good software that isn't an upscaled PS2 game...

The best games on the Vita are HD versions of PS2 games... like what the **** is going on?!
Its so sad going through the PSN store looking at all the games out there and all there are is creepy pedo style anime games for the Vita and creepy bathing suit costumes for children dlc packs... go on the 3DS's horrible store and you have a brand new Persona game AND a new Pokemon game! Two exclusive brand new games that are awesome, coming out in one week... the Vita has nothing like either of those two games and has been out for, two years now??


idk... anyway... brb playing pokemans

So.... u do realize.. the pedo thing is HUGE  in Jpan..  and the Gamers over there would say the exact opposite...

Jpan gam3r:  you go to the 3ds store, and there's like no loli stuff,  thank god for all the swimsuit dlcs on the PSN vita..

That's not even true though... And even if it was, the market is bigger than Japan...

it's not true ?  so.. all that fan service pedo middle school girl stuff..  who's that for ? someone's buying it..

There is a group of people living in Japan that are buying all the creepy pedo stuff, but that isn't the majority of Japanese gamers, it's just a small group, which is why those games and dlc packs are so expensive because they are a small group that will happily spend crazy amounts on the things they like and that are only made in Japan.

Idk it's just sad that the Vita has no good software that isn't an upscaled PS2 game...

It can't possibly be a small group  when the loli stuff has seeped into nearly Every modern anime..

T2K is one exclusive I'd love to play on Vita. There are a lot of indie game ports that I'd like to play as well.

At the moment I'm playing a lot of different things I got off Steam sales.

Runner 2: typical endless running game with a bit of music game dressing. Seems alright. I'm not a huge fan of these kind of things I just picked it up because it was €1.

Deadly Premonition: sort of Silent Hill mixed with Twin Peaks. Haven't played enough to really judge but it doesn't seem pretty amusing. I like the wacky animations. Been too long since I've played some Japanese shlock being a PC gamer since the PS2.

Dark Souls 2: Had a bit of a play around with this. Again, not really gone too in depth because I've got an 8 week old son! I really liked the first game though and this seems like a reasonable follow up. I just find it a bit annoying to play in short bursts.

Kerbal Space Program: Now THIS is my favourite impulse purchase so far this year. It's a rocket building and space exploration game. Steep learning curve so far but it's the most original thing I've played recently. Haven't scratched the surface of what you can do yet but I'm enjoying ****ing around trying to get things to work without watching a lot of youtube videos first and finding out the most sensible, efficient way to go about things. This reminds me a little of Star Flight which I loved back on the Sega Mega Drive. So cool to have free form space travel tackled this well.

Rise of the Triad: played through Duke Nukem 3D recently and wanted something in the same vein. Certainly scratches that itch. The graphics are pretty bog standard but it's got the old maze like level design, finding red keys to open red doors and fast movement speed I've been hankering for lately. It's a shame that the modern single player FPS games are so ****ing dull and we can't see them incorporate some of the classic game styles of yesteryear that made things a little less run from point A to point B enjoying scripted sequences on the way. Have the Shadow Warrior remake to try afterward, apparently more of the same.

I've been playing Neverwinter like a mad woman lately...it isn't half bad actually.

Like, Neverwinter Nights, the original game, or did something more recent come out?
Umm...if you search up Neverwinter on Steam or something like that, that's the one I'm talking about. So I guess the original  ;D

Pedo and loli are two very different things... not that I know personally, but loli people are the same people who like Touhou and chibi stuff and most of them don't sexualize the lolis. It's all about the chibi factor. Kinda like how not all Bronys aren't neckbeard yiffing fur pervs. Pedos are just blatantly sick.

Still playing dota 2... I went from having fun learning all the heros to raging at carrys because they make stupid builds that lose us team fights.

Had I only done like most people and played a carry from day one.

support4lyfe! PS can't wait for GTAV!!! Let's start a GH Mob!

Shouldn't be any hard to transition to carry! I transitioned from carry to support easily, even though my main role is still carry.

I like playing support because it's fun lol

No they are the same thing..

It's impossible to avoid cross stranding when you're into the chibi stuff..

The way your brain works prevent you from absolutely swearing off specific associations..


FOR EXAMPLE..

Say you have an anime poster with a chibi character.. on your wall behind your computer monitor

Sexual association is so strong,  that over time, if the user "walked his dog"  in front of said poster even while looking at other stuff on the screen..   he will STILL ASSOCIATE that chibi character behind the monitor with sex..


Now.. extrapolate this across all other stimulus that may involve Loli material , which an avid anime user /collector could not possibly hope to avoid...


That is to say..  if you're into anime, and do not grow out of it,   turning into a pedo is almost inevitable..


I'm not joking..   that is how sexual conditioning works.. 


The same mechanism is the driving force behind all other fetishes.

TL:DR people - come play Chivalry with me, add me on steam (atronusthemighty)

So yesterday a co-worker and I had to decide who was writing up the email today for a validation report (we're QA)

I challenged him to a duel in Chivalry (best 2 out of 3, loser has to write up the validation report)

Last night's duel was SO FUN. We joined an official dueling server and went at it while on a Skype call. We yelled and laughed so hard, man oh man. And now I don't have to write up a long tedious email today  :cool:

If anyone ever wants to play Chivalry hit me up. I freaking love it and can't recommend it enough. So much fun. Dueling 1v1, or any other game type is fine by me.

I thought I'd start playing AoE2 again. This time the HD version from Steam though… No luck, it's still as bad as on the day of release. I haven't even tried to get into multiplayer with its ridiculous lag. The game has problems just running. I've started it on three occasions: at first, I had invisible fonts, white screen in-game (had to disable some effects) and piss-poor performance; then everything suddenly worked almost flawlessly (only scrolling wasn't perfectly smooth, and I encountered several new bugs in AI), and I managed to play a map or two; now I'm getting invisible fonts and terribad performance again (and the only fix I've found is "reboot or wait a few days, and maybe it'll fix itself"). Screw it. I'm going back to the original box w/ user patch.

Well, I just got the credit roll for Pokemon Omega Ruby.

Idk maybe I should have waited till the next proper Pokemon title, after playing White, some of White 2 and then X I'm feeling kinda meh to the Pokemon formula. Maybe I just burnt out on it, idk.
For what it's worth I think that the structure of 'OR' is much better than that of X. The way you progress makes a lot more sense and has a better flow to it. The legendary Pokemon fight and build up is pretty cool and even now I know there are things to do, where as in X it was just vauge uninteresting side quests and the pretty full grind of 'gotta catch em all'.
Technically this is the weakest Pokemon game I've played, constant frame rate issues just in battle, and it gets even worse when you try and view some of the game in 3D, which is really pretty appalling given that this is the biggest 3DS game from Nintendo this year.
Though I'm glad they ditched the horrible '3D' city camera thing from X & Y as that was truly awful.

Overall the changes and updates they made to this version of Pokemon is pretty cool, though I wish it was longer and harder, I didn't do any real grinding and one-shotted all but 2 or 3 of all of the elite fours Pokemon. Let alone gym trainers.

Also I really wish they would re-release red blue and yellow with the only things that change are the graohics and maybe an option for the original or updated sound.  I would be all over that.

Yeah it's pretty good tbf. If you have a 3DS and have taken a long break from the series I think it's probably the best version to jump into with a lot less confusing random **** that was in X and Y. It also has a lot fewer Pokemon to start you off with, which helps you get adjusted to the generation of Pokemon, unlike X and Y which seem to throw like a million different generations of Pokemon at you at once and assume you know them all

Yeah it's pretty good tbf. If you have a 3DS and have taken a long break from the series I think it's probably the best version to jump into with a lot less confusing random **** that was in X and Y. It also has a lot fewer Pokemon to start you off with, which helps you get adjusted to the generation of Pokemon, unlike X and Y which seem to throw like a million different generations of Pokemon at you at once and assume you know them all

My first step would be to Get a 3DS.  All my money seems to keep getting tied up in home improvement projects or keyboards lol.  Maybe for my birthday as I want to relive one of my favorite childhood games, 21st century style.

As someone who owns both a 3DS and a Vita, I could recommend a 3DS to anyone. It's a pretty ugly device with dubious hardware, but some really great games. Hell even the version of Tekken is pretty good. Street pass is also cool.
If you grew up with Nintendo you'll get a lot of out it, and even if you didn't (like me) there is still a lot of fun to be had.

MMORPG
Open World
Dynamic Fighting (not click enemy and mash the skill buttons)
Great Graphics
Balanced Economy
Free to Play
Not Pay to Win

Something like Tera (Without that unbalanced economy) or Guild Wars 2 (Except Free to Play). Thanks :D

I have but couldn't really get into it. Partially because of time, partially because I didn't have any friends playing it.  I'll day this, if you liked Diablo 2 there is a good chance you Will like this.  Tons of ways to make your character unique through skill choices and stars.  Being it's free I would definitely check it out.  I don't think it would ruin your life like an mmorpg.  I've been there lol. 6-8 hours a day during the week and 12+ on the weekend.

I couldn't really get into it.
I played the heck out of it during beta and then realised that I just didn't like the combat at all.
The combat with any character just seems sluggish and unresponsive to me.
Compared to Torchlight II and the feedback it gives, the combat feels like I'm swinging at nothing.

I installed The Crew 2 days ago after getting it from the nvidia pick your path bundle but got bored right after the first mission. Nowhere nearly as fun as the NFS games I used to play in the past. IDK if my standards went up or the new gen titles are that uninteresting. Would've picked ACU if not for all the bugs.

Other than that I play mostly SC2 and some other RTS. My motion sickness prevents me from playing most FPS games except CSGO.

Path of Exile is great, and you can't really 'waste' your time on it because progression is fairly quick. The unique skill tree also allows a crazy number of viable class and skill combinations.

One thing I did prefer in D2 was the various settings and the enemies you encountered there. PoE is a bit goofy in that regard.

I'm just terrible at timing the blocks/parrys with foes that zip around the screen (i.e. every single boss) because the camera doesn't autofocus on the enemy and as far as I know there's no targeting system, so I have no clue when to parry. It's making the game extremely difficult.
Title: Re: What computer games do you play?
Post by: baldgye on Sun, 21 December 2014, 04:35:48
I know what you mean but the only boss where you need to worry about parrys is the dog.

I love MGR, it's so silly and so insane. If your having troubles play it on the easiest setting. It's designed to be played game+ so when you finish it all your unlocks are carried over to a new save. That's how I played it, started off on easy and worked up my abilities and weapons up so I could play it on the harder difficulty levels and even then I suck too much to S rank stuff or do most of the tutorials lol

Cubemen 2, the worst disappointment in a long time. It somehow reminds me of Fieldrunners 2, but doesn't bring enough new content/balance to justify the purchase.

Hmm, I bought Skyrim and after about 15 minutes I decided I didn't like it.
GTA 4 was cheap so I bought it, although I don't know the series other than it's supposed to be famous. Didn't install it yet.
I got Grid autosport, but my (very cheap) wheel is at a friend and I didn't feel the urge of playing it for now anyway. Also picked up a cheap pack with GT Legends, GTR 1 and 2, etc a bunch others. Might try them at some point.
I also got train simulator 2015 because it was cheap, I am not sure if that was a good purchase either.
The full Valve pack at 17 euro was quite tempting and I can say at least I am playing CS Go (did a couple of hours with a friend and bots anyway), although I had that one before I bought the pack.

My wishlist has stuff like the new Civ, new Borderlands, Kerbal space program, and xenonauts. Neither of these were really cheap and I didn't feel like sacrificing any real money for them right now. I'm sure in a half year or so 50% off them will mean 50% off current price's 50% and I'm not in a hurry. Christmas is costly as it is and I am a poor man anyway. :)

I recently signed in to runescape after 426 days (that's what it said when I logged in) of not playing.  I stopped because it was becoming too pay-to-win and there were too many bots.  It seems both of those things are still coming in full force and arguably in greater force than when I left.

Since my server is down (doing a total rebuild), and therefore all my movies and stuff is unavailable (since I put them on multidisk parity arrays) I decided to start working through my steam backlog (I'm WAY behind)... starting with Batman Arkham Asylum. Off to a good start I feel, and yeah it's my first time playing it even though I've had it for a pretty long time.
I did my best not to buy any new games in the steam sale which I did manage since there wasn't much that was on my 'must have' list, and since I have loads I haven't yet touched... but I was highly interested by the current eye candy 2 humble bundle (https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly) so I did grab that.
I've also been distracted the last couple days by Kavinsky (http://www.kavinsky.recordmakers.com/), a game featuring one of my favorite musicians. It's highly casual and I suspect it would be better on the tablets... but still pretty decent.

Ugh I hated that Kavinsky game... Though that came out about the same time as his last album, which I found really disappointing, so that might have coloured my opionion of if...


I've put about 17hours into Bravely Default and have enjoyed it so far, burnt out a bit now though, the combat is pretty good but can get tedious at times... And putting that much time into a game like that and the last two Pokemon has really turned me off the whole design and build of the 3DS, it's such an ugly peice of ****...

I've given it a 6 month or so breather too. One truck is significant progress if you ask me.. I stopped playing because running for half an hour to meet up with someone repeatedly isn't  much fun. It's a fun game, but I think I'll wait on it some more.

My main games lately have been Civ: Beyond Earth, Diablo 3, and STALKER:COP. I also love Metro, but I've gotten a bit bored as I've beaten both games four times now.

One more STALKER game as good as COP is still my dream. It'll  never happen though. :(

I think it might be worth waiting until release, a truck might sound like a big leap but you compare that to the ambitions of the project, or to the mod as it was over a year ago, you're still reaching an effective end game in no time. It is still in alpha but considering how long it has been in development and they plan to release on the PS4 in Q3 of this year I just don't know how they are going to deliver. I hope they do.

I meant it's a big leap forward towards the progress of fun (all the walking drove me nuts after awhile), I agree the development has been reallyyy slow. One truck and bows and arrows isn't that exciting to be honest.  :))

I hope they can pull it together too. It really is a fun game, the multiplayer interactions are great.

It seems like there are maybe around 5000 people who has played it.. out of the $2.2 million kick starter.. that's like paying $50 for a $440 game..  hahahaha... and it turns out to some what sux0rz..  wtf man..

People should wise up and stop kickstarting games.. this is bull****.. they got the money, and now they go and do a half-ass job... because hell, where's the incentive.. sigh... Humans...

I just recently started to wind down in my (most recent) tf2 binge, though I still play it occasionally. I did a run of terraria that took about a week, at this point I just have to farm all the nice guns and finish a Terra blade. Also I finally decided to get all my mods set up for new Vegas again so I have fo3/nv out together again thanks to ttw. It's stupid because I have like 250 games on steam but I just alternate through these (broke 950 hours in tf2 right before I stopped it).

Been playing through GTA San Andreas. I didn't really realize exactly how far GTA games have come in the short time since that was released. The characters and story move along about the same pace as all GTA games and develop accordingly, but the city seems so lifeless in comparison to 4 and 5. Still, to think they were able to fit something this size into a PS2 game is impressive for it's time, so they likely sacrificed density for size. Thank goodness we live in an age now where size limitations are near meaningless.

I've heard of it, I know a couple of people over at KBMOD have talked about it before. Also another fun Quake type game you might like is Reflex, which is fairly new, but I'm not quite sure how big the community is since I last played.

Try supports first and learn to deny a lot. Also I'd say skip the Limited Hero Pool queue unless you have to go into it, it gets full of people with hundreds of hours trying to farm wins. you can check out dotabuff for item and skill builds as well as clicking the book in the top left when you get into a game for a guide. Remember to get wards, but don't constantly choke on them like everyone says you should. You can find a map of ward spots easily on google. Learn what you're up against and what you're playing as and it's fairly easy to get going. It's scary how I know a heroes skills just by looking at them ._.

Also my MMR is still TBD b/c I only played 2 calibration games, hehehehe

Also if anyone wants to start up a TF2 or Dota team, we should work on that. Could be fun.

I spend more time watching then playing. I finally got to go to a TI last year at TI4, and can't wait for TI5! Also really hyped for DAC

I managed to get to three stars away from legend in my second month, but I'm so burnt out on that game that I can't even boot it up - a first for any game I've ever played. I really just want to build a new computer (also a first), so I can finally start playing PoE again.

Got a ton of games that I want to finish at the moment! In the last week I've bought Grim Fandango, The Talos Principle and The Swapper. Also need to start working my way through The Longest Journey that I backed on Kickstarter but I think I'll wait for more episodes to come out before I get too far into it.

Talos principle seems pretty awesome so far. Only a couple of hours in but I can already tell it's my kind of game. Nice being able to just pick it up for half an hour or an hour at a time and actually make some progress, I don't have huge chunks of time to dedicate to gaming so this sort of game is perfect for me. Going to start playing some CS:GO soon as well, just waiting on work to upgrade my laptop because my gaming PC at home is really only set up for couch gaming at the moment.

currently besiege is buggy but still fun..

Overall the issue I find is that it lacks some UI refinements to allow people to tweak certain builds quickly

As it is, if you have a large build, setting up the correct keys to make it work is very tedious and problematic..


There's also the issue of besiege just not running well because it doesn't seem to distribute the physics sim across multiple cores..

So large creations are actually just not playable..

Dota2 is all I play properly. Me, girlfriend and daughter all play the LEGO games together. We've got Hobbit, LOTR, Batman 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean. We enjoy them. :D

Spaaaaaace Engineeeeeeeers we have a little server running it ad are having a lot of fun well I enjoy drilling so yeah....

Lost so many ships into the aether as I keep turning Inertia dampeners off and getting out/slamming into rocks .-. still super fun if anyone else plays and wants to join let me know would love more people to work with :)

Also love saying to people ohh I'm just above you to only have them tell me "Its space directions are relative" :p

I've been playing Space Engineers too :) Can't work out how to connect to my friend's server without her being on it and joining off her =/ Can't seem to find the server in the server finder ever.

But it is an awesome game, there is so much to do.
Ohh sorry I HAVE JUST seen this basically the work around I use it get the server address then make a shortcut on your desktop, put the server address as the location and save, bam as soon as you click the shortcut on the desktop it will launch space engineers and load to the server :) I'll post the ip for my friends in a little while so you understand what I mean.

I'll just post it here and giggle the numbers ;) Basically as long as you have the address which should look like the following:

steam://connect/77.44.38.22:21021

Just plop that into a new short cut on your desktop as the shortcut location and it will launch steam and connect to the server, as for getting that part I have no clue I was just given it by the admin :X aha sorry I can;t be more of a help!


Edit: Also FYI Space Engineers is free on steam this weekend, and half price off why not try it now !

What kind of RPG do you mean? Idk about jRPGs but if you're looking for a cRPG, Divinity: Original Sin is fantastic and modernized. Came out last year.
And if you like JRPG's, try out LISA. A fantastic game. I did a write up (http://www.vibex.info/blag/lisa-the-painful-rpg23/1/2015) on it earlier this year. Fantastic, and strange game.

I had a discussion about this recently with a buddy in game development..

Basically..  Completely naked women are not NEARLY as interesting as "half-naked women"..

Which is why things like zettai ryouiki 绝对领域 + semi-transparent costumes are exploited so heavily in Women's apparel (in game media).

Notice also the latest (Satin trend in fashion)..   essentially, because softcore pr0nography has become mainstream and considered kid-friendly..  the fashion industry had to take drastic measures to keep female clothing -enticing- for males..

The most unrealistic thing about these games has to be the Female fighters fighting in high heels.. 

I mean.. they may be masters of controlling their bodies,  but if you reduce contact area for your feet,  you lose kicking power regardless of how well trained you are.

I haven't had any problem with enemies, and I agree that it is kind of challenging, but Hotline Miami 1 was way too easy except for like the last 2 levels. I enjoy this level of hardness, because with the last game I beat it within an hour or two.

Yeah, lock on don't do **** when mega cheap-ass snipers that are way off screen are barraging you with bullets for literally 10 minutes. There's a huge difference between challenging and spitting in the players face. Instead of being a fast paced combo murder sim, it's become a tedious game of peek a boo with unfair advantages in favor of your constant death. Melee is like a 50/50 shot now no matter when you swing you're rolling the dice with a hand weapon. Don't even get me started on the garbage level design, bugs and difficulty aside, that level design is just shameful and lazy. Plus there's some instances where you just get blindsided by bull**** design, like you're 10mins into a level but HAVE to know you'll get immediately rushed when entering a room by ****face Psychos. So much bull**** in this game. The boat level? Holy ****. You can't say that was well designed in any way and deserve to keep your gamer card. And how about those Hawaii missions?

**** this game, do not buy it until the devs fix the myriad of things wrong with it. I'm so mad and sad about this  >:D  :'(


PS the music's still amazing though
I haven't had any problem with enemies, and I agree that it is kind of challenging, but Hotline Miami 1 was way too easy except for like the last 2 levels. I enjoy this level of hardness, because with the last game I beat it within an hour or two.

Yeah agreed I loved my time with HM2... for sure one of my fav games in the last year or so

tutle, you know about the lock on mechanic?? I didn't know about it until someone pointed it out, mapping it to E helped me ALOT

Yeah, lock on don't do **** when mega cheap-ass snipers that are way off screen are barraging you with bullets for literally 10 minutes. There's a huge difference between challenging and spitting in the players face. Instead of being a fast paced combo murder sim, it's become a tedious game of peek a boo with unfair advantages in favor of your constant death. Melee is like a 50/50 shot now no matter when you swing you're rolling the dice with a hand weapon. Don't even get me started on the garbage level design, bugs and difficulty aside, that level design is just shameful and lazy. Plus there's some instances where you just get blindsided by bull**** design, like you're 10mins into a level but HAVE to know you'll get immediately rushed when entering a room by ****face Psychos. So much bull**** in this game. The boat level? Holy ****. You can't say that was well designed in any way and deserve to keep your gamer card. And how about those Hawaii missions?
You can use LShift to look a bit ahead in the mission though. I am not saying that I finish levels on my first try, but I usually go slow the first time, and then after that I start figuring out the order in which to drag and click so I stay fluent, and so I can stay fast paced.

Seeing what's ahead does not fix terrible level design. Just because the levels are way bigger and crammed with enemies doesn't make the game better, in fact it makes it much worse. The first game had a frenetic pace fueled by combos, and this one just plops you in an open field full of enemies with big guns and no cover where you have to laboriously inch your way through like frightened snail when at any second some stray sniper bullet could end you. Over and over and over again. Honestly some of the worst overhead level design I've ever seen, like it was made for a different game entirely or the devs didn't bother to play them at all.

The level design isn't terrible... your suppose to learn the levels and then design combo's around finishing them, not blitz it ezpz first try.
I really like the design of this whole game and prefer it over the first one (as someone who struggled with the first game).

If your struggling with it (which I did too) then have a gander at some of the 'lets plays' for Hotline Miami 2 to give you an idea of how your suppose to approach it, might help, might not... best thing you can do is just learn it :P

Wherever I can fit it in I'll play either CS:GO or Cities: Skylines.

I finally got out of silver in CSGO, not sure whether to be proud or ashamed about that. But I'm happy nonetheless.

C:S is amazing for taking a short break while doing an assignment, to add a little bit to my city and solve a couple of issues. I do have to set an alarm so I remember to stop though. Game makes hours fade into seconds.

Gave Assetto Corsa another go, downloaded some custom controller setups...


horrible game, really really ****ing awful. I'm 10+ seconds slower in this game than GT6 or indeed anything else I've managed to play. The auto gear box is ****ing trash and mostly unusable the TC is total ****ing trash as is the anti-lock breaks systems... I wouldn't even need to use those aids though if the game was half ****ing finished and gave menu and controller setups that made sense in English.

1. Pillars of Eternity - excellent game, brings back BG memories... Some say its overrated. Some are wrong. There is nothing quite like executing a perfect play with your entire party. Highly recommend trying it when it goes on Sale.

2. Total War Shogun 2 - sooooo much fun on co-op with a buddy.

3. When I get time, might get Dark Souls 2 - Scholar of First Sin as well. Too many keyboard purchases this year, hopefully PS4 price drops next year so I can get in on Witcher 3 goodness.

Scholar of the first sin is a fantastic playthrough. I like that it forced me to make a new darksouls2 character. I didnt get any of the dlcs so it was nice that this included all of them at a discounted rate.  They added a lot of content and came out with a lot of patches since Ive last played.  melee builds got some love, buff builds a needed nerf, only I seem to have realized it but pyromancy got mega buffed especially in PVP, faith got nerfed, hexes are decent,sorcery is decent. dual wielding is op in pve.  they added some new weapons and spells and items, but that really isnt the big thing about this patch.

-the new boss fights are fantastic!

-*all of the pieces of the catarina set are guaranteed in a chest spread across the dlc's* I loved the anime series berserk and i love the reference to pazuso.   This set was hard as hell to get previously.

to get the experience you'd need basically a starved live tiger that inched closed to you every time you didn't shift perfectly or messed up a turn.

driving with a wheel is nice and all, but the real skill is doing this all with knowledge your ass is grass with one little mistake.

well it's relative of course.

However, since Proj-Cars was "built" on the premise of being a "SIM",  not having the wheel doesn't really make it much better than playing Grid 2..


If I'm stuck with the controller,  I'm fine with grid 2.. it's pretty solid..

I recently completed Wolfenstein: The New Order (PC) and I liked it a lot.  This is coming from someone who hates all of the recent COD singleplayer campaigns.  (I actually thing the COD multiplayer is great, p2p connectivity issues aside, and don't mind that it's essentially the same thing ever year).

The shooting and mechanics are really satisfying.  In the aforementioned COD games, enemies seem to not react to being shot.  They take the pre-specified before dying.  Occasionally, you might be able to to make someone stumble, but for the most part the enemies are bullet sponges.

In Wolfenstein, there is a sort of 'feedback' when you shoot enemies.  I had a lot of fun playing through the singleplayer.  It has a variety of weapons that you carry all at once, old-school style.  The game is not too short like a lot of FPS singpleplayer campaigns. 

My only complaint is that it seems to want to be a wacky, over-the-top, action game with electric guitar riffs (Nazis on the moon anyone?), but then has weirdly serious, out of place elements.  I would have preferred it if it went all in like an 80's action movie.

I also picked up GTAV a few weeks ago for PC.  I played throught it once on PS3.  I think it was a great game, lots of fun, and the PC/next-gen version and it's improvements are even better.  I'm not that big a fan of it's multiplayer though.

Last night me and a buddie were at a loose end but staying with the other halfs so we only had our phones, both got Skype and hearthstone and Skype called while playing 1v1's of that.
I played like two tutorial levels or something when it first came out and never played it since and my m8 played a bunch on phone when that came out... But it was pretty ****ing fun.

Shocking at the game but still had a blast and can see how it can become addictive. Such a shame that blizzard are full blown autistic and that game requires wifi to bloody use

Ha. I end up forgetting how old some of these games are. I'm only a little bit older than Fallout, I was born in '94. So, only 3 years older! I've never played Diablo I or II. I just don't really feel the need to I guess, especially when D3 is out there, being awesome.

But the great thing about the original Fallout is that it's still just so damn good. Like, it's better than 3 and New Vegas in terms of originality/plot. Bethesda isn't particularly great honestly. Another gooder to play again would be Baldur's Gate. Too many options for me!

If you enjoy Fallout, I would highly recommend checking out Planescape: Torment. It's in the same vein (action/rpg) as the old Fallout and Baldur's Gate series, but with a very unique world and plot unlike any other game of it's time. Really good game.

That is certainly one game I need to play! It's the real deal, and sadly I have just never played it. I'll have to look out for it when it goes on sale on GOG. Since that's the only place I would buy that.

I bet if you'll get behind the new meta that is lingering right now you'll get into legend rank quite easily. I think in Hearthstone you can get really good real quick and to maintain some high level is not so difficult as compared to other eSport titles like Starcraft, Counter-Strike. As it's mostly only thinking ahead and have some good rng in drawing the right cards. Maybe if I get my internet corrected I'll finally be able to play some too. It's a fun game!

End of school year, 45 minute study hall followed by 30 minute lunch, in all ACAD classes except 2, **** yeah I do. I have already opened 50 packs though :) . I have been on and off for about a year now, but I am getting into it a lot now.

I bet if you'll get behind the new meta that is lingering right now you'll get into legend rank quite easily. I think in Hearthstone you can get really good real quick and to maintain some high level is not so difficult as compared to other eSport titles like Starcraft, Counter-Strike. As it's mostly only thinking ahead and have some good rng in drawing the right cards. Maybe if I get my internet corrected I'll finally be able to play some too. It's a fun game!
[/spoiler]
Yeah, my friend is helping me make decks. I currently mostly play a mech deck paladin

I would recommend to try the patron warrior deck and some good handlock decks :)

I've been playing 'Life is Strange'. It has a nice relaxed game play, more like an interactive story I guess. A nice break from all the fast FPS games I usually play.

I have been considering getting it, but it is quite expensive for a game that is still in development. I love Rust, but have been screwed over on a couple other early development games that I have bought. Trying to decide if I should wait for it to progress more before buying, or get it now!

Ark: Evolution Evolved.  It is truly a lot of fun.  Being early access it does have a lot of flaws, glitches and performance issues.  With that being said, if you play pvevp you almost certainly need a tribe (clan) to survive/prosper.  With continued work and love though, this could be quite the game.  If anyone has it/buys it I play on server 46 with irl friends, hit me up.

Been playing The Talos Principle a bunch, ****ing rad puzzles.

I got Borderlands 2 on the recent Humble sale, and to be frank I think it's pretty meh. I enjoyed the first one but I think I've realized the games are just too aimless and rote. The story blows.

The Witcher 3 continues to consume my life, I think I might read the books.


On the backlog:

Alien Isolation
Marvelous Miss Take
Bioshock Infinite
more GTA V, kind of fell off playing this because it seems like there are no tangible rewards for finishing the flying school with all golds like in San Andreas
Hitman Blood Money
Thief 1+2
Grim Fandango Remastered
forgot to finish Ori And The Blind Forest, think I'm right before the final boss

I don't really trust them though, after BF4. BF4 was a great game, but also a mess.. I'm going to wait until Battlefront comes out and see how it turns out. It basically looks like everything I wanted from a new Battlefront game though.  :thumb:

I do agree that Infinite was a good game but it was still a disappointment gameplay wise compared to both the original game and what was shown in the first gameplay trailer.
If you do play Infinite then I can recommend playing the Burial at Sea DLC which IMO was fantastic! Note that you should have played the first game before playing it though since BaS ties everything together.

Speaking of Bioshock, I should play through System Shock 2. I bought it on the Steam sale two years ago but I have yet to play it.

I found Infinite the be Infinitely better than the first game. The combat and mechanics in Bioshock where pretty horrible (IMO) and it's story was told via audio logs (essentially), which is pretty terrible in my book. Infinite has a much more interesting and engaging story, more refined mechanics and a much more interesting world. Though I think too much has been made of the series and they stand next to the Uncharted's and Gears games as the most over-rated average video games of the last generation.

Bioshock's gameplay had more depth (you could have all weapons on you at all times and the upgrades were fantastic!) but it was little clunky. Gameplay wise it would have been better if you could dual wield plasmids and weapons instead of having to switch between them.
I didn't really mind the audio-log style storytelling, but maybe that's because I play games like a hoarder. When I had killed all enemies I would go through all rooms on the level to see if there was some loot I had missed, so it was nice to have some story in your ears while looting. And I don't think it was too dependent on audio logs, the environment and the few cutscenes did a decent job at telling the story.

One of the things that annoyed me with Infinite's story was the grandfather paradox. It renders the whole story either pointless or impossible, I had the same issue with Interstellar but since that didn't have the parallel multiverse theory it wasn't as much of a disturbance.

The problem is this:
"The baptism at the end and Booker's sacrifice nullifies all of the events of game, meaning that the sacrifice would never happen--a classic grandfather paradox. Because Comstock was never baptised, Booker would not have gone to Columbia, meaning that he would never have been taken back by Elizabeth to make the sacrifice, meaning Comstock would have been baptised--meaning Comstock would never have been baptised, etc. Not to mention that, at the final scene after the credits, it is implied that Anna was never taken, meaning that Elizabeth never was, meaning that the sacrifice was never made and Comstock was baptised, etc.

Booker makes his choice before Anna is concieved, thus, Elizebeth (Anna) COULD NOT go back in time and kill her own father as it would prevent her from existing in the first place. Additionally, taking (A random version of) Booker (at the end of the game)  back to the past and killing him wouldnt work as he already exists in the past. You cannot take a person from the present back to the past and kill the present version there; The past version (who had yet to decide about baptisim) would have to be killed, which would negate all of the events in the game from possibly happening."
Basically the game never happened.
Title: Re: What computer games do you play?
Post by: genkidama on Mon, 06 July 2015, 16:32:51
Basically the game never happened.

Wasn't this the beauty of it? Especially because we do not really know for certain what happens with going back to the past, alternating events doing this or that or this. I believe this makes the game more vivid for the gamer and entraps him thinking about all the possibilities that could and could not happen and so on and so forth.

At the end of a game I really stopped for a second and thought about all the little things happening and almost immediately started the game from the beginning as it was really captivating because of this paradoxon.

This last week I've been playing a decent chunk of sc2 again. MMR has been wiped apparentaly so when I jumped into a few unranked 1v1's I was playing bronze and silver players. Which was very, very dull. Then I started to look at the maps... Holy **** what a joke those are. Stopped playing 1v1 and got cracking on 2v2. Mostly unchanged bug a handful of new maps which are horrible, really really bad. To the point where if you spawn as T or Z as some maps your ahead, against me (as a Protoss) because of the use and positioning of gold bases, it's autistic. That said 2v2 DIAMOND MATE WHAT UP RANK13 TOP BANANA!

My most favorite game right now is Company of Heroes 2. The sound design alone is amazing. I feel like I'm actually in a war zone because the sounds feel so accurate and riveting. I can definitely understand why soldiers would be shell shocked after war... Lots of strategy. Makes Starcraft look pretty simple honestly.

I've been replaying a bit of Fallout NV recently.

I was really tempted to give Fallout another go, to get hype for Fallout 4, but then I realised I owned it on console, and it really doesn't play nice with Windows 7

It's actually been playing nice with me this go around.  In the past it was crash happy.

This is exactly why I stopped playing it again....froze up to many times when I was out in the wastelands and lost 15+ minutes of gameplay each time. :(

It's my first time playing it, so I have only the bug fix patches and the delayed Dark brotherhood attack mod installed.

Still vanilla has a unique charm about it, despite it's dated graphics.

Nice! I used to play a ton of 4v4, since 1v1 gives me too much anxiety... I grinds enough games to get to master in HotS, while being like gold in 1v1 lol

On another note I started playing Path of Exile to wait for D3 new season. Anyone else play? I'm so lost...

Hnnnng makes me want to play again so badly!! Think I'll have o install it sometime this weekend. The gf is really into Skyrim, would be neat to play some Morrowind for a change! My all-time favorite game from my teenage years, Counter-Strike is probably a close second.

I'm installing Dying Light right now and will be giving that a shot here soon.

I have Portal 2 to finish. Last played Aug 2013. Not sure why I stopped. I remember it being a lot of fun but I need to finish it already.

I finally wrapped up Bioshock 1 and 2 and have Infinite to start.

I'm currently in the midst of Styx: Master of Shadows and find it quite fun.

GTA:V gets random play time. It's mostly an hour or so of raging around town, possibly a mission or two then raging around until I'm bored.

I keep looking into the Fallout series and haven't convinced myself if I should just get it already or not. Probably just start with 3 and then NV eventually jumping to 4 assuming I like 3 or NV enough.

EDIT: Dying Light is pretty damn cool so far. Just hate getting a cool game that I'm horrible at. I can't even pass a challenge that involves sprinting across a section of the map. Can't even make it to the finish line in 2mins. Also it seems on an R9 390 8GB I'm experiencing some forms of lag here and there. Maybe I should have gotten the 390x? Or possibly just gone Nvidia? smh. Back to it.

Hearthstone, so much Hearthstone

as an ex-MTG player I really appreciate what Blizzard has done to eliminate my worst fear - the dreaded mana screw

(http://magiccards.info/scans/en/uhaa/123.jpg)

I miss the deckbuilding complexity and sheer quantity of cards that MTG has. Never been a huge fan of Warcraft lore, either. Yeah, I'll probably be back playing MTG as soon as they release a halfway decent online client

besides that it's TF2 (hat simulator) and waiting on the new Blood Bowl

used to play EVE but who has time to play internet spreadsheets these days anyway? it was fun freighting around in my Providence. any EVE players around here?

let's see what else... TIS-100! brings me right back to my assembly roots

The last time I tried it (PS or PS2 days) was with Sons of Liberty.  I absolutely hated it.  The fixed camera angles made it almost impossible for me to play in spite of having a great story.  Who came up with the idea to have awkward angles that don't adjust as you move in a game that relies on fine controls in order to slip past people or accurately shoot people.  The new ones look better and I want to try some, but I also have a hard time shelling out that kind of money after remembering how terrible my first experience was.

Not my fault that the camera angles were **** and made the game almost unplayable in the original.  There are many others who have said the same thing.

You can have the best story in the world, but if the controls are awful, the game will suck.

I mean, all of what you said is bollocks. The camera angles in that game are totally fine and your never left with bad views of the environment, on top of that your able to have access to nodes, or if you want can have the radar on at all times.
The controls are of its time, it's not really fair to have a crack at them because it came out while 3rd person action games where stil being worked out. It would be like having a go at Doom for not controlling like Quake 2 or something.

Also if you had a free look camera it would be even worse, the Tanker and Bog Shell consist largely of tight corridors and narrow passageways, the camera would either get stuck against walls, in corners etc or have to clip through the whole environment. Kojima has said that for the HD collection be considered having a free camera but it simply wouldn't work.


MGS2 is more than playable with its fixed camera angles and is one of the best games ever made. I feel like if your struggling it's probably more to do with you 'not doing it right' or wanting to sprint around the map.



Also, the reduced vision/map access for the Shell, is intentional.

Post by: baldgye on Thu, 03 September 2015, 01:10:07

But yeah, I have to imagine that Konami can't afford to drop the MGS brand, how ever given the recent announcement of that Silent Hill slot machine, I imagine they will continue the name on with other gambling machines and free to play mobile games.
I hope we see a Rising 2 come out at some point as I think Platinum could do really well with that if they were given more than a year or so but I've no idea how well MGR sold initially.

So yeah, probably safe to say MGS is dead, though Konami will **** it's corpse till there isn't a penny left.

It actually looks really fun. Some people have said the missions are repetitive, but if you look at other pseudo-sandbox games with storylines, the missions are bound to be repetitive. Go somewhere , kill people and get an item? Is that not just Skyrim, GTA, Assassin's Creed etc.

Anyway, I think it looks cool. A bit of Batman combat, a bit of driving, a bit of driving combat, car customisation. I think I will enjoy it.

I've heard it's not great though

It actually looks really fun. Some people have said the missions are repetitive, but if you look at other pseudo-sandbox games with storylines, the missions are bound to be repetitive. Go somewhere , kill people and get an item? Is that not just Skyrim, GTA, Assassin's Creed etc.

Anyway, I think it looks cool. A bit of Batman combat, a bit of driving, a bit of driving combat, car customization. I think I will enjoy it.

I've been a Mad Max fan for a long time. I was impressed with Fury Road and the game looks amazing. I won't be buying it right off the bat though. I'll wait for the extra content, bug fixes, and possible modding community to build first. Hopefully someone on GeekHack will come out with a good review of it.

I didn't want to buy it for £35 either, so I was glad I found it for £15. I will be playing it a fair amount over the next couple of days or so, so hopefully I will be able to provide you with a small review :)

Been finally playing Dark Souls 2: SotFS after wanting to since it was released. Very frustrating at times, but also incredibly fun and so much customization for weapons and builds, I love it. I can't wait for Dark Souls 3.

Tend to play a lot of horror games. Currently switching back in forth between both Metro games, Silent Hill 2's PC port and Resident Evil 5 (more of an average shooter, but eh, fun enough). Managed to get the Metro Redux games for exceptionally cheap last month, and I have to say the redesign makes 2033 a lot more engaging. But Last Light feels pretty much the same.

Playing a lot of Killing Floor 2. Not a ton of strategy in it's current early access state, but tons of room for improvement and additional features to come make it a worthy time killer.
Mostly using Beserker class, getting in to Demolitionist a bit but having trouble conserving ammo. Looking forward to more classes in the future.

Being a HUGE zombie game fan and Killing Floor 1 fan I've been excited to try this. Given it's praise by an experienced GeekHack member I can't wait to give it a try.

Getting back into Diablo 3 again.. a little late to the season, but have been playing so much Dark Souls 2 lately. I missed Diablo..

I also am itching to get back into Heroes of the Storm again. I was pretty obsessed with that game until June when the expansion for FFXIV came out. Now there's been a bunch of new heroes, the new map, I need to get back into it. I haven't even played since they completely overhauled my favorite hero, Brightwing, a little nervous about what they did to her.

There are few games that I'll pay the full $60 on pc. The one this year most likely is fallout 4, MGPP will be discounted by then anyways.


It has to be a pretty special game to me to spend 60$

I'm the same. The dollars per hour cost of Fallout make it a no brainer. I will do at least 60-100 hours on one play through if it is anything like the previous ones.

Last game on steam I payed more than $40 for was Wasteland 2. Great game very Fallout like (as expected from it's pedigree) and I put 60 hours in. Waiting for the update later this year before I start my 2nd play through.

Yeah, a game has to allow me to put more than 20 hours into it before I'll consider spending $60 on it.  Even then I have a hard time because I need to know the game is actually worth it.  A lot of developers are pricing there games out for someone like me. 

Also, there is absolutely no valid reason to charge the same price for a digital copy of a game for your PC as you would for a console version.  Consider it a silent protest for me to wait for the prices to drop to something reasonable.

ur gonna want the 980 or 980 TI..

the 950 isn't even a real GPU,
the 960, you might as well get a 670 or 680 used, since it's the same darn thing.

the 970 is fast and new, but it's got that screw-ee ram issue

the used 980 is where the best performance per dollar is right now (excluding the 970 because of the ram issue). the Ti is a bit towards luxury and mostly unnecessary, because it's STILL not fast enough as a single GPU to run the highest settings, they do this on purpose so they can sell you 2 cards.

you can look out for 780 780ti s  as well, buhhhhhhhh they're not super common at good prices.

Depending on what you have already inside your rig will depend on the graphics card you will want to get. With the right PSU, CPU, and GTX 970 you can run MGS5 at 1080p on High Settings and still get 60fps.

Not too sure actually, nothing spectacular though. I'm on my way to uni now, but I'll check in a few hours when I get home.

My current GPU is trash which is why I'm looking to upgrade. For example, rocket league can't get a consistent >45 FPS at low-ish settings. So I figured why not get something that'll last.

Like others said, if you're on a 1080p monitor, a 970 will be more than enough for MGSV :) My 970 had no problem maxxing out any games at 1080p, it was only until I started playing certain things in 1440p that I ended up getting a 980ti. But for 1080? 970 is a killer card and an amazing price.

Alright so I'm running an i7-2600K on a Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3R, GT 740, 8GB of G.Skill Ripjaws RAM (DDR3, I think), some old-ish Coolermaster 650W PSU. Also a 1TB HDD and 500GB SSD. Monitor is an Acer V223HQV, if that helps at all.

Wow typing that out made realise how painfully average my PC is :rolleyes:
I would go for a new PSU, but even if you don't, I believe a 970 could work with a 650w PSU.. I guess it depends on the quality of the PSU itself.. but my friend is using his 970 with a 650w kinda oldish PSU and running MGSV and every other game perfect :) Your PC is really not that bad at all. It's only been a year since I upgraded to my 4690K, 16GB DDR3, 970 and now 980ti. I was still running my Q6600, 8GB DDR2 RAM, and a 650ti lol. THAT was bad.. that system aged horribly. I used to lag playing Terraria on that thing!

I can not get my 4690K above 4.5GHz stable :'( I barely had to raise the voltage on mine to get it to 4.5, and I hate having to raise voltages too much.. so I never pushed it much further. Although I'm pretty content with 4.5... but man I really wanted to try for 4.7! My Q6600 was clocked from 2.6GHz to 3.2GHz the entire time I had it, on air.. which was good. I have an AIO water cooler on my 4690K but still can't push it anymore :'(

From my limited understanding having insane GHz's isn't all that great anyway, it's better to have a newer faster chip than an older one thats over-clocked to ****.

It's like spending retarded money on a top end i7 when a mid range i5 will actually be just as good (for gaming)...

Did you follow the OVerclocking guide over at OCN..  there's ALOT more to tweak outside of just Vcore.

The used to be the case in 2010....   after sandybridge came out,  The necessity to overclock became grave..

It greatly greatly influences the Minimum frames persecond..  whereas on the 3.x ghz setups, you get way more frame-dips.

Oh of course :) I am quite comfortable with overclocking and changing everything in the BIOS, but the only thing I hate bringing up too high is the vcore itself. I generally go for the highest OC I can get stable without raising the vcore almost at all. On the Q6600, I would be able to get to 3.0GHz without a change in vcore. My 4690K barely has a bump in it, to go any higher than 4.5 I would have to bump that up more.

Yup that's true :) Every time someone comes to me with questions about building a new gaming computer, they ALWAYS want to get an i7.. but I tell them that it's not worth it for gaming. Instead, spend that extra money on a better GPU, or an SSD even.

I'll see myself out :-[

With your current setup all you need is a PSU that has a good single 12v rail. Something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139056

With that and a 970 you'll be set up for a while and don't worry to much about your CPU clock speed. I'm running an i5-3570k at stock speeds and I've been able to run every game at high settings so far. Overclocking reminds me of the old "Home Improvement" TV series. MORE POWER isn't necessary all the time and since Intel CPU's run great at stock speeds I've never felt the need to overclock.

Good luck with your search though!

I want to start up Diablo 3 again, but I don't know how much fun it will be without friends playing this time lol. I wanted to try out Smite, but reeeeally want to get back into Heroes of the Storm again.. I was insanely into it until the expansion for Final Fantasy XIV came out in June. Haven't played since the Butcher update.. and since they changed my favorite hero, Brightwing. HotS is really the only MOBA I've liked so far. For some reason, LoL made me rage SO BAD that I could never get into it. But HotS didn't do that to me.

Been playing X-Com the last couple of weeks. Picked it up for peanuts in a Steam sale. I haven't played a tactical turn based game since Shining Force 2 on the Mega Drive and it's been a blast. Just have the last mission to do. I'd like to have a go at something a bit more in depth next time (the small squad size and the limited inventory feels like of stunted) but with a small baby I don't know if I have the time to dedicate to such a game!

I've played a couple of hours of Far Cry: Blood Dragon. The writing is funny and it looks great but the gameplay isn't exactly grabbing me. I'm a bit burnt out on single player FPS games at this point in my life I'd rather go play Half Life 1 or Quake 2 at this stage.

Played about 8 hours of Hotline Miami 2 so far. It's absolutely brilliant. So much more difficult than the first game though! It's hard work. I lost all my progress in a reformat as well so I may end up putting this one on the long finger.

I played through to level 30 in 'beta', haven't really properly played it since then though. I relapse every few months and I get reminded why I don't really like MOBAs :( so much time investment and so often very toxic makes it hard for me to have fun!

In other news, I'm just sticking to rocket league for now, until I can upgrade my PC at least.

I miss having an MMO to play. Tried WoW after Warlords of Draenor came out.. made it about a month and then bleah :( I was huge into WoW up until Wrath of the Lich King. Started falling out during Cataclysm before completely stopping playing.

Then I got REALLY into Final Fantasy XIV since the original beta and early access. Was REALLY into that, raiding, getting every single job max leveled. Then.. fell out of that too. It just got incredibly boring fast :( They're good at putting out new content every 3 months, but it wasn't enough. It doesn't help that the free company/guild I've been in since I started playing, with a lot of awesome people, pretty much fell apart a few months ago. Lost all our raid groups and active people..

So now I've been trying to play Guild Wars 2 which is pretty fun so far. I really miss playing an MMO damn it.

I feel that you can only have one good run at the MMOs, I've been 3-4years onto WoW with an awesome Guild.  Even if we all stopped the game, we tried other MMOs but couldn't find one that was good enough. Friends that were onto another MMO have the same problem.

But damn the Burning Cruisade raids... I'd pay solid cash to revive this experience with the old mates.

We have been rabid split-screen Borderlands/Borderlands 2/Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel addicts and can hardly wait 'til February to get our hands on Battleborn.  We are just hoping that it will be as good as it sounds. We tried some of the zombie type games (L4D2, Resident Evil V, Serious Sam BFE) but get very frustrated with running around maiming, mutilating and murdering creatures/freaks/aliens.

Not really worth the $59 imo. It's really buggy, OKC and Golden State are vastly op.
Multiplayer is spotty due to the servers frequently going down.

Just a heads up. Maybe wait till a price drop and patch. Patch probably incoming by the end of Oct.

Hmm, guess I'll wait. I can only justify the price of sports games like this if I only buy them every few years or so anyway. At least with 2K they make some decently sizable improvements every year, Madden is just the same game every year

I tried playing it single pkayer during the free weekend that happened not long ago. Single-player would be a big time sink for minimal reward, can't speak to the multiplayer. I'd imagine like any other online game, if you find a good community it's probably a lot of fun.

Playing heaps of Diablo 3 at the moment with the new season, going for leaderboards and good gear. I've put a bit of a stop on Runescape for now since I maxxed a few weeks ago. Raids are incredibly fun, but the Australian community is so small that they're too cliquey, and I can't bare to play on an American server.

A buddy of mine gifted me Telltale's Game of Thrones through Steam tonight. Had a couple of hours on it and I was expecting to dislike it, but it has pleasantly surprised me.

Haven't played D3 since launch, but the season thing sounds interesting. Installing it now, my brother convinced me this past weekend. I almost never have enough time to put into online games to make it worthwhile anymore though  :(

Still wish they'd patch in controller support though, such an awesome game to be able to play from a couch and the console version has gotten awesome feedback for the same-screen multiplayer. Definitely on my hitlist once the Steam Controller is out.

Just bought Tomb Raider GOTY on steam($5.99) and am going to see how I like it.

Recently finished Dying Light story and all side stories. Also wrapped up Portal 2, FINALLY!

Was on BioShock Infinite and was maybe an hour in to game play and kept getting my ass kicked. I may have set the difficulty to hard. That's stalled out for now. What bit I did play I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the first 2. Definitely going to revisit it though because the story on those games is great.

I honestly didn't care much for Infinite.  Unlike 1 and 2, the story was a lot more forced and linear, you don't get the opportunity to really discover the world and the story like you do in 1and 2.  It just felt dumbed down.

For sure 1 and 2 are better.  I am working through Infinite now and am near the end.  The first half of the game has a few parts that lag a bit and the story is a bit cloudy, but after you get in a few hours, it starts to pick up.

Dude, I beat that game as Soldier, Scout, and Scoundrel, Dark and Light, then beat KOTOR 2 with all prestige classes... Weaponmaster for fun, Jedi Master was also pretty interesting, but Sith Lord + Force Crush > all.

Favourite pausable RPG is probably DA:O though. Such a great game. Shadowrun: Dragonfall was also really fun.

It's like an easy version of XCOM, but really nice art and is quite fun, it's a breath of fresh air.

Until a few weeks ago, I've played FFXIV since beta... I was really hooked, raided a crap load, I leveled every single job to 50 before Heavensward (And then Summoner to 60 after Heavensward) so.. I've definitely been hooked haha.

Main reason I stopped playing is just because my guild I was with since the beginning kinda fell apart, my friend I played with stopped playing, and so then I just fell out of it.. been playing Guild Wars 2 for a nice change from FFXIV. But FFXIV is a great game. SE is good at putting out major content patches every 3 months, with lots of stuff in between. There's so much to do. Summoner was my favorite job, so much fun and lots of off-GCD skills to use.. which is good because the GCD in that game is 2.5 seconds. Dragoon is tons of fun too.

I met a lot of awesome people through that game, and had a great two years with it :)

Drive Club is TERRIBLE, it feels like the people who made this game only ever experienced cars through a tuner magazine or something, the handling is an insult to physics engines, it looks like ****, the tracks are garbage and to add to the garbage tracks there is no racing line, so you've no idea when to break or what kinda corner is coming up.. on top of that your car behaves so randomly that your constantly fighting the controls just to make sure you go in a straight line.

Yesterday I did an hour long race in Project Cars in a GT3 McLaren with no assists on and that was less stressful than one ****ty race in Drive Club.

Holy ****

I downloaded an emulator called RetroArch the other day that lets you play with a CRT style shaders. It really improves the experience of playing 2d games on an LCD screen.

Anyway I've been on a NES kick, didn't really play a lot of these much the first time round cos I was a Sega fanboy. Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Mega Man 2 and the delightful Mr. Gimmick are incredibly good. The precise nature of the platforming and the tricky enemy movement of these 3 games just keeps me coming back for another go even if they're all bastard hard.

Mr Gimmick is awesome.    It's a shame it had such a limited release, that extra audio chip built into the cartridge (JP-only) really takes the soundtrack to another level.

I finally got into Destiny recently for the first time since it was released. I absolutely love it. Just finished getting geared enough to start raiding.

Oh and while waiting for the Guild Wars 2 expansion to come out.. been playing some Star Wars: The Old Republic randomly.

Oh, and Secret Ponchos. I played it back last year when it was available for free on PS4 for PS Plus members, it was pretty fun. Now it's out on PC, so been playing that a bit :)

But all in all I think Spiderman is a pretty solid title and if you enjoy Lord of the Rings lore you ought to give Sleeping Dogs a try!

Forgotten Beast!

Here's the scoop on my latest fortress: I'm only 1.5 years into a new embark. You set out with seven dwarves at your command, ready to strike the earth. Luckily, they listen to you most of the time :)  These dwarves stopped their wagon to make camp FORTRESS FOR THE GLORY OF ARMOK at the top of a volcano, so I made quick plans to set up magma forges. It's a bit tricky, but dwarven engineering will get you pretty far. After gathering raw ore (gold, hematite, tetrahedrite), we got smelted the metal into bars and began forging picks for mining, basic weapons, and furniture to keep the citizens happy.

But soon, sad news from Mountainhomes arrived. Or rather...no news arrived. It turns out that every other fortress from my dwarves' homeland (roughly translated as "The Brown Silvers") had been destroyed and the scheduled "Outpost Liason" never showed up to trade. Instead, the last dwarves dwarves decided to elect a new KING. A metalsmith, Ufir. He's one lucky dwarf, since all dwarven kings are entitled to a host of pleasures and rooms. He's chill though, only demands that we NOT export anvils. True to his trade I would say.

Now, we prepare for war. I will surely find justice for the fallen dwarven Mountainhome...

I just got into GW2 a few months ago, stopped a few weeks ago until expansion. gonna start again tomorrow, excited about it. I really love the combat system in that game.. and I really like how the game feels a lot different than most other MMO's I've played. Instead of just questlines everywhere, you just go around and do events. It's a nice change. So far Thief was my favorite class, followed by Mesmer.. Hopefully they improved on Mesmer a bit, because I heard it's DPS in end game was real crappy.

Their DPS isn't the highest, but it's not horrible - especially against ranged mobs (reflect). I played a Mesmer since the head start weekend and it was the only class I could really get into - I've had almost all of them at 80 and I just like the playstyle of the mesmer best. I am digging the new revenant though.
One thing about Mesmer DPS is that most people gauge it by the first seconds of a fight and the mesmer has to bring out illusions before it really gets going, so it makes it look a lot worse on charts. Besides, pink/purple butterflies rock!

And the game is broken it's so ezpz, we played on normal because harder said **** about legend gear, which as a level 0 he had nothing so we went for normal and we are legit 1 shotting bosses, knocked it up to hard and the same thing is happening.. It's hella fun but zero challenge... Wtf?

Dwarf Fortress. No need for a pointing device, just keyboard love and a thirst for more adamantine.

beast

Forgotten Beast!

Here's the scoop on my latest fortress: I'm only 1.5 years into a new embark. You set out with seven dwarves at your command, ready to strike the earth. Luckily, they listen to you most of the time :)  These dwarves stopped their wagon to make camp FORTRESS FOR THE GLORY OF ARMOK at the top of a volcano, so I made quick plans to set up magma forges. It's a bit tricky, but dwarven engineering will get you pretty far. After gathering raw ore (gold, hematite, tetrahedrite), we got smelted the metal into bars and began forging picks for mining, basic weapons, and furniture to keep the citizens happy.

But soon, sad news from Mountainhomes arrived. Or rather...no news arrived. It turns out that every other fortress from my dwarves' homeland (roughly translated as "The Brown Silvers") had been destroyed and the scheduled "Outpost Liason" never showed up to trade. Instead, the last dwarves dwarves decided to elect a new KING. A metalsmith, Ufir. He's one lucky dwarf, since all dwarven kings are entitled to a host of pleasures and rooms. He's chill though, only demands that we NOT export anvils. True to his trade I would say.

Now, we prepare for war. I will surely find justice for the fallen dwarven Mountainhome...

the stories that this game produces, excellent!

wish that all of my fortresses didn't end up as horrible, overpopulated lag-fests

It's a bit nutty, but I love how unique each play can be.

FPS tips, render "Small" or "Pocket" worlds with shorter history. The larger the continent and the longer time runs, FPS death becomes more common.

That's definitely the problem. I'm really into procgen so I love generating the most complex, long history world possible just to watch it spin. And then get lost in it in adventure mode!

Playing Diablo 3 with a buddie playing the expansion and I think our game is broken.

Prior to this I got a lvl60 DH called Paul who got to level 8 paragon, now I can't remember wtf that **** means so me and my buddie re-rolled new chaos and now I'm starting over as Andy the Crusader... And the game is broken it's so ezpz, we played on normal because harder said **** about legend gear, which as a level 0 he had nothing so we went for normal and we are legit 1 shotting bosses, knocked it up to hard and the same thing is happening.. It's hella fun but zero challenge... Wtf?

Can't make it any harder l, did I **** up with paragon level stuff?

I build a gaming PC and got triple monitor set up 2 years ago and have spend 99% of my time playing Dota 2. Got really addicted to it actually. I think I am taking a few months off from Dota to maybe play less competitive more enjoyable and relaxing games.

Oh! I just started playing Dota after playing League for years (league suks  :-X)

My steam profile is on my profile!

I've heard of the minions making the intial leveling ridiculously easy since you can have 4 of them at once.

Hard isn't exactly 'hard', it might be the most efficient for leveling but master is where the difficulty actually increases somewhat noticeably.

What's the deal with Spelunky? Is it a roguelike? I didn't think it was the sort of game to have "dailies"...

It's a  procedurally generated platformer with permadeath. You're a spelunker exploring a cave. You progress down 4 themed "worlds" with 4 levels each (and a 5th secret world). The daily is a once-per-day attempt to get a high score (you collect gold and treasure on your way through the game). It's annoyingly hard, but addictive. I picked it up on a whim during a Steam sale for ~$3 I think. There should be a sale coming up soon if you want to give it a shot without too much of an investment.

Very true, I was just thinking of Hell. I guess the Black Market is also a secret level. Gotta hate that worm level though.

Oh yeah forgot about that, I have never gotten to Hell. It's hard enough getting into City of Gold! I actually used to think you had to carry the gold key all the way from 1-2/1-3.

That had to hurt. I would've just walked back and forth across the door muttering "why won't this open?!" I've made it to Hell three times and beat it once (mostly luck on that one). It is such a glorious feeling. I've still never killed the alien queen, though. Died in the Black Market today due to lack of bombs  :(.

Haven't been playing as I don't have beta either but I've been watching streams of it. Looks amazing, with the reception of the beta and all the hype around it I'm feeling like it might become a really big thing. Love that prospect because I've personally always been more fond of this type of game than say, MOBAS or semi-realistic shooters like CS.

Even though BLOPS3 came on Friday I cant put down destiny. 

I don't know what it is about the game (perhaps the fact that i play with friends on comms) but I cant stop. 

I know its the same strikes and stories over and over... its like crack..

Also, I'd be on the fallout 4 hype as well but they've really got to stop releasing sooooo many game sin the autumn months, Halo, Blops, star wars battle front, Rainbow Six Siege......

I need something to replace League. I've stopped playing for months but still haven't found anything with the same amount of replay-ability or competitive scene.

Really considering Overwatch - Blizzard has never disappointed me before.
Hope your ready to pay for it then, because its a pay to play game now  :))

I'm enjoying the game except for the base building element.  Base building and all that seems like something for a min-maxer.  I don't play a game to do frustrating micromanagement, I play it to escape and have fun.

I guess Fallout Shelter was just prep for that element.  I got bored of FOS within a week.

I'm only ~10 hours into FO4 since I've got exams to study for most of the time, but couldn't you just stop expanding your settlements after the first one? Or is further expansion mandatory?

Holy ****, this is pissing me right off in the game now. You can't really be a lone wanderer when you have to god damn micro manage all the settlements, I'm probably over that part more than most people because without doing the main quest line I've done like ALL of the minutemen quests, I'm like 23 hours in and have pretty much finished that quest line.

This isn't a mobile game, settlements can get lost.

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't do it man, that's one of the reasons Nvidia came in and gimped everything with Gameworks, they release new drivers to **** older cards and implement demanding proprietary tech not to make the game better but to cripple the competition and make people have a need to buy their newest gen cards.

2 games that I actually play every day (if not for just a few minutes) are Spelunky (Steam) and Puzzle and Dragons (Android)
I have been playing both these titles  every day for about the past 2 years. They are like my Solitaire or Minesweeper.
Looking at my leadership board in Spelunky, I’m in awe that you score very well, noisy. I’m trying hard to catch up but it’s disastrous. I’m able to get on to world 4, the icy world, and yet my score is super low. Any tips ?

Playing a bit of Spelunky and The Binding of Isaac aswell (also on Steam).

Sometimes Portal 2 (there's some pretty cool test chambers in the Workshop).

Spelunky is one of those games that I don't think I'll ever get bored of. Easy to pick up and play for either a short time or a bit longer, challenging, and sound isn't all that important so listening to music while you play is nice.

Yup, spot on my friend. It's one of those gems that is totally worth to try if it goes on sale. I picked it up on sale and haven't regreted it one bit.
I'm a sucker for hard/rogue-like games like this, The Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, Fenix Rage etc.. even though I not too good at them.  :D

There's something about the almost "retro" style gameplay in Spelunky that makes it a fun game to pick up and play for short periods of time.

If you go balls deep into CSGO, have fun never enjoying any other online FPS and the game becomes so rewarding/infuriating at the same time. I've stopped playing everything else online.

I have been hopping between Civilization 5, Shadows of Mordor, League of Legends, Dirt Rally, Super Meatboy, and Fallout:New Vegas in the last month or so.  I was playing F:NV to get ready for Fallout 4 but I am waiting until the patches come out to pick it up.

I used to be pretty interested in FPS, MMOs, and more RTS games and have played everything ranging from WoW to Runescape to CS:GO to Command and Conquer, but getting married and having kids shuffles your priorities around.

True. I never really get bored of CS:GO and Left 4 Dead 2 (I'm a sucker for zombie shows/films and games...). But I don't play competitive in CS:GO... I'm always hanging in zombie mod, AWP DM, Minigames, Climb etc... that sorta servers. :p

It's also the first sandbox style game that I actually have enjoyed. Nothing like roaming from area to area, taking out outposts in style. Not to mention, Vaas is probably one of my favorite game villains.

Damn dude, 700 hours? I like ETS2 but I can't play it for more than a couple of hours at a time. I need to get the multiplayer mod though, that looks like serious fun. Can you just download it off the Steam Workshop or is there a site you need to go to?

I bought Civ 5 a while ago and haven't played it yet. Just seems like a steep learning curve. I spoke with someone recently who did the same.

I mostly play CS:GO, but lately the ranks have made that kind of messed up for competitive, anyway.

Age of Empires 2 recently got an expansion pack that's pretty cool -- mostly just amazing that game is still being supported after all these years.

If you want to try something rather unique and less time-consuming or time-constrained, take a look at Frozen Synapse. It's a turn-based real-time strategy where you give your units 5 seconds worth of very specific commands, then see how it plays out. Very fun, easy to dabble in and play over the course of several days with friends, and the soundtrack is excellent.

Finished Grey Goo and it's DLC (3 missions) recently. Petroglpyh games is made up of former Westwood employees that left after EA took over. Pretty enjoyable game on Hard. The resource system reminds me of a hybrid of C&C and Total Annihilation.. the game almost makes me want to get back into multiplayer RTS, but not quite.

Also finished Toren, which was incredibly short. Think I played through it twice in four hours.

Finally getting around to playing Legend of Grimrock. Pretty interesting take on the old classic rpg style of ala Eye of the Beholder.

I have all these fresh new games to play but I always just go back to killing dragons and punching guards.

Skyrim is still such a great game. It's one of those games I haven't fully explored; I only ever dabble in it a few days. So it's still kind of like a new game to me, in a sense.

Right now I'm focused on Dark Souls II (and dying to see more from Dark Souls III). However, I've got several other games I need to get to, such as Far Cry 4, Witcher 3, several Resident Evil games (from a Humble Bundle), and more.

I've had DSII sitting in my Steam account forever, I told myself I'd play it after Dark Souls 1 to get into the world and get the gist of things, well that never happened. I should probably give it a try, how are you finding it? Did you play 1?

I played the first one on the Xbox 360 (when it was free; Games with Gold). I really loved it. I am finding that this second one is just as entertaining, and connecting to people for summons is a whole lot easier. Not only that, but you can summon three friendly phantoms into your game so my friends and I have all been playing together. It's a blast.

Let me know if you're interested in starting it up. I'm always looking for people to play with.

Oh, and just like with Dark Souls I expect to die a bit. It's just the nature of the game. XD

Been playing a lot of Terraria with some friends.

I really thought I would be over it after an hour or two of playing - but it really is quite fun.

No such thing! After beating the first game once I went ahead and played through again with a new character. I stayed at soul level 8 the whole time (in order to make ganking easier once I finished :D).

I love The Neverhood, which is a point and click game.  It's Claymation from the late 90s, so it may look a bit dated (and doesn't run all that well on modern machines, so VM for sure), but man is that game solid.  :D

The developers of The Neverhood just released a new game this past year, Armikrog, which is done in a similar styling.  Unfortunately I am still waiting for my copy to arrive, so I can't comment on how the game is.  :|

And for reference, the guy who made both of these games also created Earthworm Jim.

A lot of euro truck simulator 2 ( seriously dont knock it until you try it, especially with the multiplayer mod, i have 700 hours in the past few years ....) Kerbal space mission, Project car's, some minecraft with tekit mods, Titanfall, hoping to get rainbow six siege soon. Lately i've gotten back into dying light as well.

Damn dude, 700 hours? I like ETS2 but I can't play it for more than a couple of hours at a time. I need to get the multiplayer mod though, that looks like serious fun. Can you just download it off the Steam Workshop or is there a site you need to go to?

I may be overestimating by 100 hours ish, but i know its at least 500 to 600, between my few accounts, to be honest i first started playing on a pirated version a few months after it came out, and i played that quite regularly, only a couple hours at a time but nearly every day, it was my main way of killing time and procrastinating with school work untill senior year when i had to stop for awhile. Occasionally i'd do 5-6 straight hours. But a couple years ago i finally got it on steam along with all of the DLC.

We should play some Titanfall. I've been looking for people to play with.

Id be up for it sometime, even though i'm not the best i like to play it a couple times a week when i get the chance to kill time.

Forgot to answer your question, you have to go to the mods website, you just make an account to verify you own the game on steam then you download the mod installer, they update the mod very frequently with nearly every euro truck steam update. And it's really well done.

mostly been playing rocket league, csgo (just gun game), and hearthstone

i did play all eps of the kind-of-game Life is Strange over the weekend, i didnt realize that game would hit a nerve, the correct ending made me cry, tears and all and im a 6'1" 315lb man and im admitting that to everyone on geekhack i cried, first time something on screen has done that in a long long time. i dont think everyone reacted that way to the ending but for me it struck a nerve. and this is a game where you play a 18 year old spoiled hipster girl, and im 31 year old male. strange the way these emotion things work.

Well, in the very first 3 lap race with the Fiat, I was +8.8, +0.535, and I guess "-" is the quickest lap? Overall +10.4. But it's most evident on long straights that their cars at least accelerate substantially faster. I can keep up through turns, but I always lose some sort of ground afterwards

I started the career ages and ages ago before p-cars came out but I don't remember having too many issues early on, but being almost 9 seconds slower than the AI on lap one is an issue haha what are you racing against and what car are you using exactally?

Well, in the very first 3 lap race with the Fiat, I was +8.8, +0.535, and I guess "-" is the quickest lap? Overall +10.4. But it's most evident on long straights that their cars at least accelerate substantially faster. I can keep up through turns, but I always lose some sort of ground afterwards

I started the career ages and ages ago before p-cars came out but I don't remember having too many issues early on, but being almost 9 seconds slower than the AI on lap one is an issue haha what are you racing against and what car are you using exactally?
Fiat 500 Abarth against all the same.

are you using any driving aids? traction control could be ****ing you on the exit of the corner onto the straights...
Traction control is on, yea. So try it off?

Yeah i would (off), are you using a controller?
With PCars and AC with a controller I would recommend all aids off, bar ABS and the racing line. ABS because it is real hard to feather both the break and throttle with the triggers on a controller, ABS gives you a bit of a break in the breaking zones and you loose basically no time using it in the breaking zones and the racing line because it gives you an idea for the breaking zones for different cars on different tracks and gives you extra visual references in bland looking sim racing games.

high rolla!
Yeah if you have peddles you should drive with everything off, though if you struggle with locking your breaks you can turn ABS on and you won't get any penalty compared to the AI.
If you ever wana race or chill with an online lobby learning tracks or what ever holla at me, I've not played it in months but I'm always down for a session

Not really, Civ is turn per turn strategy game, while AoE is a real time strategy game. Civ 5 is great imo. If you want another RTS give a shot to Starcraft 2

AoE 2:Age of Kings ruled my life when I was younger.  Civ is similar to Age of Empires in theme but it's turn based instead of real time like AoE.

Edit: Make sure if you're going to get Civ V that you get the two expansions; Gods and Kings and Brave New World.  Without them it's rather meh

Not quite.  AoE is real time strategy, Civ is turn based.  And RTS tends to focus more on units/fighting than turn based, in my experience.  Civ will focus more on the progression through technological ages, etc.  At least that's how I would generalize them in two sentences.  ^-^  Civ is super addicting tho, that's for sure.

Sometimes when I'm feeling dangerous I will start a game of Civ V 15 minutes before I have to leave to go somewhere.  My wife says she really enjoys it when I decide to do that.

Civ games are also pretty long, I didn't test the multiplayer, I only fought vs computer so I don't really know the game lenght of a civ multiplayer game. And also you can have Civ 5 for cheap during steam sales. Highly recommened, Sc2 too.

I should clarify.  Like you, I often don't finish games (especially if more than a few weeks passes between sessions).  But sometimes it's fun to play on an easier setting than I usually do, roast the competition, and keep playing and try to get all victory types before getting bored.  :P  That's moreso what I'm talking about.  :))

Oh okay, we're on the same page now :)

Do you mod heavily or mainly play without them?  I just started downloading mods and have stuck to just new Civs, but some of the other stuff is tempting as well.

I used to buy games, especially FPS games like CoD/Serious Sam/UT and such, and I couldn't wait to play AND complete them. Recently noticed that this......fire in my belly has died out somewhat.....eh no, it basically died out actually. I just cannot get into any game anymore, game series that I couldn't wait to finish a few years back, I find myself simply lacking interest to continue and finish (like CoD series, Crysis 3, Far Cry 3 and such). Heck, the only games that I consistently play is UT3 and replaying HL2 series......and perhaps certain levels of Serious Sam (still haven't finished Serious Sam 3 yet). I find myself quite disinterested in newer titles, even if they were from series that I used to love. I guess the only game that might pull me outta this rut is HL3 (IF it ever gets released that is).

I'll also add all of you on Steam when I get home tonight and then we can try to find a good time to play.  My best chance of playing is going to be after 9PM EST for the next few days, but maybe we can get an idea of people's availability and try and schedule something.

That said, LET THE TRASH TALKING COMMENCE!

So Civ 5 or Civ Beyond Earth?

I tried to play BE this weekend and was so freaking confused.  I need to learn that game first.  :P  Maybe playing it sober will be the change needed.  :))

Well I literally couldn't figure out how to even play the game, so I'm thinking sober might have been just a tad better.  ;)

Oh, in that case it might be a little better sober!  Actually, my first taste of Civ was Civ III when a friend decided to install it on my computer when I was at work but after work I went to the bar with a bunch of friends.  Needless to say, when I got home and he tried to get me to play, it didn't work very well and we both just ended up really frustrated.

Good idea with the Civ V thread though, I'll commence my ****-posting over there.

I'm playing Mass effect 1 for the first time. On xbox sadly, so I have to deal with the horrid framerate, but I'm not playing the second game until I get a decent PC built, it runs too badly to make me want to play the second game.


But it's great fun so far, the combat isn't great, but the dialogue and choice making is a lovely thing, and all the characters are fantastic.

I feel like the ME games will and have aged horribly. I played 1 and 2 on PC and hated the way 2 ended and the idea for the third game and the stories conclusion so never played it until early last year, at which point it was impossible for me to go back and play it.

I feel the opposite about it. I think they got better. It does depend on the endings you get. Overall I think 2 was my favorite and 3 was really good.

I hated the terminator **** at the end of 2, but 2 was the best game. I really really hate the idea of 3 and that oh look how great the humans are they where the key to winning this impossible war. It was typical sci-fi bull**** and really bad writing.
3 should have been the end of all life in the galaxy as the Reapers came and took everything and where legit unstoppable. The cycle cannot be stopped and it was idiotic to think that it could have been. That's the ending j like to think 3 had.

Maybe the gameplay got better, but I kinda had enough of that style of combat by the end of 2 and when I came back to 3 mid last year I couldn't get that interested, though that may have been because the story pissed me off so much.

Was playing The Witness, turns out I'm too stupid for this game. Gone though every area I have access too, trying to solve puzzles. Now every single puzzle is a dead end and there is nothing for me to do except stair blankly at puzzles I can't solve and have no idea how to solve.

4/10

I played it for about 4 hours before I started to make real progress. If the puzzle has pieces that don't make sense and it's not simple as hell it means that you need to come back to it later. Each puzzle type has a 'tutorial' area which takes you through the rules step by step. Find the boat and make your way to the treehouse section (north-east) to learn how the coloured star pieces work. These are in different areas (like the Quarry), but make no sense. Some areas, like the hub/village area with the windmill (for example) require you to have done almost all the other areas first.

The lack of 'you need to come back to this later' hints are the biggest flaw for me. But, it would ruin some of the eureka moments.

But... if you don't have patience this game will utterly suck!

Whats the point in that though? It's just cheating... I'm going to try and go back to it in a few days, if I can't figure it out I'll just uninstall it. If I have to cheat at this early stage then I'll have to continue to do that throughout the game, which seems like a waste of time.

I guess. There are guides that give tips before they give the solutions and in a few of the shadow puzzles I needed pointing in the right direction then the rest of the zone was a breeze. Due to there being no tutorials you could be feeling like a dumbass but in reality it's just that you missed a subtlety of the rule set.

I used to buy games, especially FPS games like CoD/Serious Sam/UT and such, and I couldn't wait to play AND complete them. Recently noticed that this......fire in my belly has died out somewhat.....eh no, it basically died out actually. I just cannot get into any game anymore, game series that I couldn't wait to finish a few years back, I find myself simply lacking interest to continue and finish (like CoD series, Crysis 3, Far Cry 3 and such). Heck, the only games that I consistently play is UT3 and replaying HL2 series......and perhaps certain levels of Serious Sam (still haven't finished Serious Sam 3 yet). I find myself quite disinterested in newer titles, even if they were from series that I used to love. I guess the only game that might pull me outta this rut is HL3 (IF it ever gets released that is).
Boy I miss UT3!  I've been hooked on fantasy/sf shooters since Steam started that wonky deathmatch finding service.  Q1 was my first but lately I'll load up Warframe ever so often.  I not a fan of military style shooters and I haven't found many fantasy/SF shooters that spark my interest

Sorry for the late acknowledgement man, Tapatalk removed the notification. There are just a few that are really annoying to do when you are focusing on it specifically, the fact that you need the quest active is what causes the frustration haha, I helped another guy on the other team fulfill his warding quest by placing an Obs outside of base and letting him know to deward, he tipped me, all good!

Supposedly, once you get into it the game is amazingly deep and allows you to do pretty much anything you could ever want to do as a ruler.  However, the learning curve is pretty steep (not quite Dwarf Fortress steep but pretty close) and can be daunting to new players, I know this because I had pretty much the same experience as you did.

Been still playing Dota 2, getting pretty pissed off with this quests bull**** though, some of them are fun and others are just frustratingly unfortunate to the point that you can't do them without sabotaging the game.

I'm going to really knuckle down and play Dota next week and plow through some of these quests. Which ones are you finding frustrating?

Sorry for the late acknowledgement man, Tapatalk removed the notification. There are just a few that are really annoying to do when you are focusing on it specifically, the fact that you need the quest active is what causes the frustration haha, I helped another guy on the other team fulfill his warding quest by placing an Obs outside of base and letting him know to deward, he tipped me, all good!

Tipping? wtf  :confused:

Yeah dude, you can tip BP if you win the game, you should do it because if you tip 10 times you get 1000 BP, so a 500BP net gain.

Have not played MGSV so can't judge. I like that the game doesn't take itself seriously. It's very forgiving and "easy". I mean, fall from a helicopter, slingshot to the ground and you're fine. Without using a parachute? Sure, why not...

Overall, I had a lot of fun and laughs playing the game. There seems to be some replay value being able to recapture settlements etc with your newly gathered weapons. After you grinded some challenges for some upgrades, it's a lot of fun just ****ing around.

Cool.. sounds like FarCry 4 on steroids. I've played through all of FC4 but after its main and side missions its not so fun anymore. Yes, you can go explore but there is not so much to do. Who cares for the 100th letter or the 60th mani wheel in some place that looks almost exactly the same as the previous "undiscovered" location?

Well, no, that's not fair of me to say. It's pay-to-win-faster. It's a long grind, basically, and those who pay can do everything sooner.

For example, to make certain items you put them in your forge. Depending on the rarity of the item, you then have to wait either a couple of hours or several days for it to be ready. You can pay to remove that timer though.

Drop chances for certain armor sets are extremely low (not even the sets, but the components to make the sets), or you can buy them in the in-game store.

While I don't care for pay-to-win on a lot of games, on games that involve long and tedious grinds I sometimes will let them slide.  The reason being is that for me personally, I don't have a ton of time to game anymore, and so if I can avoid grinding something for 15-20 hours by just paying $3-5, I will take that option as I consider my time worth more than $0.25 an hour.  Even if that amount goes up to maybe $10, I can still stomach it but some of these games are getting super greedy and wanting $30-40 per transaction and at that point I just won't play the game.

     I played a WoW clone that required months of instance grinding. I don't know if I have the patience for the grind anymore. So far Tera has been the most rewarding free to play style game for me. From what I remember, in Tera the catch is if you want shiny gear, or for me it was seeing those creepy little Elins. Thanks for the 'heads up'

Was playing The Witness, turns out I'm too stupid for this game. Gone though every area I have access too, trying to solve puzzles. Now every single puzzle is a dead end and there is nothing for me to do except stair blankly at puzzles I can't solve and have no idea how to solve.

4/10

I played it for about 4 hours before I started to make real progress. If the puzzle has pieces that don't make sense and it's not simple as hell it means that you need to come back to it later. Each puzzle type has a 'tutorial' area which takes you through the rules step by step. Find the boat and make your way to the treehouse section (north-east) to learn how the coloured star pieces work. These are in different areas (like the Quarry), but make no sense. Some areas, like the hub/village area with the windmill (for example) require you to have done almost all the other areas first.

The lack of 'you need to come back to this later' hints are the biggest flaw for me. But, it would ruin some of the eureka moments.

But... if you don't have patience this game will utterly suck!


I'm stuck in the tree tops at one section, am stuck in the middle of a section in the tree's with one of the shadow maze's, stuck in one of the castle maze puzzle's, stuck in the house/bunker thing in the cliffs... and non of the other puzzles make sense to me...

rip
RIP in puzzles.

Look up a walk through guide to help you advance in one area though. Better than giving up!

Whats the point in that though? It's just cheating... I'm going to try and go back to it in a few days, if I can't figure it out I'll just uninstall it. If I have to cheat at this early stage then I'll have to continue to do that throughout the game, which seems like a waste of time.
I guess. There are guides that give tips before they give the solutions and in a few of the shadow puzzles I needed pointing in the right direction then the rest of the zone was a breeze. Due to there being no tutorials you could be feeling like a dumbass but in reality it's just that you missed a subtlety of the rule set.

got back on it, finished a bunch more puzzles and then got stuck on some more... progress.....

I'll second Risk of Rain. Lot of fun. Also, Dungeon of the Endless. Both are only 4 player though.

For Rocket League, a ghetto fix you can do if your computer can handle it, is to mess with the config file resolution and set to borderless. So for example; when I play with a friend in co-op mode I change the resolution to span two complete monitors rather than split the one screen. then both people get an entire screen to play on. I think there's also an app out there that does the same thing, but I can't remember the name of it right now. If you have the XBOX wireless adapter thing, I think it handles up to 8 controllers for 4v4 mode or you can do 2 machines with 4 each and make an online private match.

Yeah I think the issue is setup/screen size ultimately, along with not having that many controllers to set up.

Risk of Rain I think my friends have played, but as its only four player its not great for us. We usually have upwards of 10-20 people at our parties.

One thing we've done that is surprisingly fun for a bunch of people is Typing of the Dead. Since you guys all have keyboards you can plug into a USB hub and do a team battle. So we did I think 8v8 in the office once and you alternate who's turn it is to type like a relay. Only takes 2 computers and 2 monitors. Just need the room to sit everyone around them.

Got Titanfall (PC) for like £3 a few weeks ago and just.. can't... stop... One of the most fun FPSes I've played in years! It's too bad that the game lobbies are now just filled with people who have been playing for a long time, so it can be hard for newer players as they'll often dominate.

That being said, the movement system is amazing, and makes all other FPS games feel slow by comparison now! I also find that with the 'small' number of weapons, you can really hone your skill and not rely on 100s of meaningless stat numbers ala CoD or Battlefield.

After WotLK is when it started going downhill for me. I miss the days where it would take months of grinding on grinding for your raid group to acquire enough gear to finally beat the ending raid boss. Now it seems like people beat it within the first 24 hours of the expansion/update going live.

I'm going to start up a character on a vanilla WoW server for some fun, since I never got to experience WoW during that time or during the earlier days of WoW.


Regretting that I didn't get into this game or it's community sooner, so many possible nostalgia ridden memories.  :eek:

I miss WoW so much, every time I go back it just never lives up to the memories I had playing it. :'(

I've went back twice since I hit 70 in BC and quit playing high level characters, it's never the same.

After WotLK is when it started going downhill for me. I miss the days where it would take months of grinding on grinding for your raid group to acquire enough gear to finally beat the ending raid boss. Now it seems like people beat it within the first 24 hours of the expansion/update going live.

I understand why they made things easier, it just sucks when you worked for months to beat a certain boss and then see people taking them down in a couple days like you mentioned.  I ended my WoW days with a lvl 70 character that's sole purpose was for farming to fund my lvl 29 and 39 twink characters lol.

WoW was never particularly tough as a grind to begin with compared to it's predecessors. The grinds in EQ and Final Fantasy were far more brutal, and due to a lack of instancing technology allowing for a true hierarchical nature on servers, guilds were not interested in publishing strats for how to do things so they could keep an edge on being the only ones doing content.

Very different atmosphere to say the least. Humorously, as backwards as it sounds, it was also far more community building.

But a lot of people who played WoW never played any MMOs seriously before that, including myself, so they didn't have anything to compare it against.  Also, at what point does a grind turn from hard or complicated to just tedious?  I'm not saying WoW's raiding mechanics were more difficult than other MMOs, but some games that are supposedly hard are just mind-numbingly tedious.

EQ was tedious as hell by any definition you want to use - vanilla WoW was a breeze by comparison. Only a few select classes were able to solo - this changed with expansions and accrued gear but some classes never could. The amount of time it took to accrue exp for a level was ridiculous, there were also "hell levels" requiring a multiplier of the regular base for that level range of exp, certain races had exp penalties, and if you died you lost exp unless you were resurrected - the high level resurrections restored nearly all of your exp (96% iirc).

No quests either, so you would camp areas for exp and loot drops from enemies. Certain areas would have a chance to spawn a unique or rare enemy, and that guy would have a loot table - certain items had a % to drop. It was usually one item. The only benefit from this system is that really dedicated people were typically the only ones to hit high levels, leaving a lot of people you wouldn't want to deal with never getting so far :D.

If you died, you had to run back to your corpse with no gear, which is fun when regular enemies can kill you with all your gear on. Corpses rot after 1 full week (realtime) which was a problem in the very early days of raiding in a crazy zone like Plane of Fear. Necromancers were able to summon corpses by purchasing a component to allow them to do so.

Raid mechanics of WoW bosses were actually far more engaging and interesting than EQ or anything that came before it - almost everything in EQ was a basic tank and spank - it was mostly the competition between guilds that was borne for getting to limited resources (bosses) on spawn timers / after server resets that was interesting.

The game did end up with instancing and a lot of mechanics revamped to be much easier/less tedious as a consequence of WoWs imminent and subsequent release, as well as the following months and years  :D.

Super obvious cheater with trigger and wh are sure easy to spot. But when he uses his wh smartly it's becoming a bit harder to spot him. Those who are super obvious are so fun to watch imo, they totally disrespect the other team  :))

currently playing through the witness. it's a really amazing experience that really does give you the feeling of stepping into another world. the game has over 1000 footstep sounds and the ambiance/soundscape is absolutely amazing. probably the most beautiful looking game i've seen in while.

if anybody does play it, a good thing to note is that johnathan blow was really inspired by a play called sleep no more. it's hamlet, but it takes place in a  house which you can walk around and see different scenes taking place. probably the best way of explaining how to play the witness without spoiling it.

I started WoW right after Wrath of the Lich King. I think that was before you could purchase a max level toon. Can people start the game with a max level character now? I don't have the patience to grind but I also am apprehensive of starting a game at max level. I suspect that I would feel I am cheating myself of an experience.

Also I swear I get the worst items all the time as him. I'll reroll stuff like, the bean, the poop, or really any item that is a garbage starting item over and over.

I can guarantee you the Keeper is pure, unadulterated torture. At least the lost can unlock the Holy Mantle and can fly. That's an advantage.

I like playing when I'm on my lunch break and we're all sitting together playing, but at home in solo queue I get bored after one or two games. And since the whole game is PvP, and I don't enjoy it enough to play a lot and become good at it, it's going to get really frustrating.

I really wish Destiny was on PC. I loved that game for the couple months I had an Xbox. I might get another one, but in order to do that I'd have to sell my desktop. I have a decent laptop with an AMD A10, 16GB RAM, and Toshiba SSD. That can play games pretty well. I was able to run Skyrim around 30FPS consistently on High. But that was at 720p with no graphics mods. I don't think I can go back to that after playing on my desktop where I can run pretty much anything, completely maxed out, at 60FPS on 1080p.


I started WoW right after Wrath of the Lich King. I think that was before you could purchase a max level toon. Can people start the game with a max level character now? I don't have the patience to grind but I also am apprehensive of starting a game at max level. I suspect that I would feel I am cheating myself of an experience.

If you pre-order Legion I believe you get a free level 100. It might only be the deluxe edition though ($70 I think).

Other then that, you can't just start the game with a 100 every time. You'd have to buy the character boost ($60).

That's one reason I'm so bored of it. I like playing through the new expansion a couple times to explore everything, and doing each raid once or twice to learn the story, but after that all I care about is endgame PvP. I had 11 level 90's in MoP (3 were boosted), 4 of which I've leveled to 100 in Draenor. I'm just so tired of leveling. I have a 100 Lock, two Druids, and a Priest. I want to get my Pally to 100 but I'm just so tired of grinding through levels. I'll go back and revisit old content occasionally for nostalgic reasons, but I don't have the patience or the time to sit and grind out 20 levels a day.

Just finished Aquaria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaria_%28video_game%29). I made a mistake, when I disregarded it in the second location or so few years ago. It's an excellent (but often underrated) game though; the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam don't lie. The middle "half" of the game (roughly 10-15 hours) is awesome, if you like just chilling out, roaming around and enjoying the atmosphere.

Darkest Dungeon, it's pretty fun until the light of RNGesus is taken away from you.

Did that one for a little while, and it's really good.  But lately, it's been The Elder Scrolls Online, and for some reason Age of Conan again.  And some Ghost in the Shell on the side.

So far, I've got a pretty reasonable ammount of cards and all of the adventures unlocked, but it only took me about 6 months in total to get here...

Other than that, Rocket League!
The game is so addicting and fun when you play it with friends, would strongly recommend!

Make sure you have one hell of a beefy right for Star Citizen last time i tried the game(Approx a month ago) with an i5/GTX 970 and 16GB of ram running on an SSD it ran like utter dog**** even on low settings like not even 30 FPS never mind anything higher.

It's been over a year since I left, I think if I go back I'll definitely look into faction warfare. I don't want to do too much planning and pvp in null sec involved too much planning and alot of waiting around for fleets.

I've been enjoying it so far. The map is dense, visually it's amazing, and I really like the co-op aspect of it. It's a new title and there are a lot of glitches so it's common to see people exploiting them to get upgrades faster and other benefits like continuous healing. I prefer not to take that route and just work my way through the game otherwise I'm pretty sure it would get boring really fast. That does mean if you choose to go to the DZ and tackle other players along with the game's AI you have to contend with people being super geared up.

Just started playing Killing Floor 2 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/232090/). All-in-all, pretty fun, fast paced game. Anyone playing any of the KF games?

Any love for battlefield? Battlefield 2 was the high for me. Better than cs 1.6. There, I've said it.

I've been playing Killing Floor 2 for a while, have around 55 hours in it. I like it because it's a guaranteed 20-30 minutes of monster-killing fun without the stress of PvP, so it's one of those games I play when I just want to shoot some things. I've mostly only played the Commando and the Gunslinger, I like me some head shots. My favorite part of the game is the bullet time slow-mo, feels really epic.

I definitely agree about the bullet time. Definitely a nice aspect. I've been playing commando and support mostly. Shotguns are just so much fun!

I'm always building up tension when I HAVE to work and NO time to play. And I'm all like "soon...soon... when I'm on vacation I can game all I want." And then vacation is there and I end up doing nothing AT ALL. Such as shame.

Got around to playing Dragon Age. I'd previously refused to touch it because of some beef with BioWare. It's a nice game, and I'm looking forward to II and III, though not nearly as much as Mass Effect 4.

I'm genuinely happy Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale Enhanced Editions are out there, it feels like they kinda have a place in my life, though I don't even own them and probably never will, as I opt to play new games rather than replaying old ones, and there are books I need to read anyway. Unfortunately, there's also money that has to be made (family problems, new PC needed, time to wrap up the Ph.D., some professional qualifications that cost money to make and so on), which leaves me with little time to play. (Like when I desperately need to do something else than work.)

If I have the time, I'll play Dirt — the new one. I really love rally games, although I'm bad at the simulation kind where you need to strategize the repairs, which is beyond my intellectual powers. :(

It's a shame. When I die my Steam account will have hundreds of unplayed video games. I blame Humble Bundle, other bundle sites, and Steam sales.

Maybe you should carve out some time during the week to relax and play some video games. Pick a time on the weekend and carve it out for gaming. Whenever I sit down to do something relatively nonconstructive like video games I always feel like I should be do something else. The problem is a waste time browsing the internet because in my mind it's something that doesn't take up very much time, unlike video games. Problem is, I could have played a lot of video games for the time wasted browsing online.

Thanks, good advice. I was thinking exactly that. The last week I was binge watching scandal from season 1 up to season 5 and me and my GF felt really guilty about just "relaxing" and "not doing work". Ridiculous really.

Been playing a lot of the new Smash Bros on the WiiU. Roommate had his copy sitting on the shelf unopened, so after a (no joke) 1hr and 45min patch I pretty much played all day yesterday and am about to play even more.

I never cared for the control scheme in Smash, but the rest of the game is polished enough and has enough going on I can overlook that aspect. Loads of fun and I've barely seemed to scratch the surface  :thumb:

Maining Toon Link and Ganondorf, as they seem to be obviously more powerful than some of the other characters. Also all the Fire Emblem characters are ridiculous.

That's a lot of TV! I don't know what I would do without that voice telling me to be productive scratching at the back of my mind constantly. Sure, it's annoying but I'd do nothing but binge on laziness.

The Steam servers will be shut down and all your games will be void sooner than later. It's the fault of digital downloads - once the servers go down or the company dissolves/gets absorbed all your games that aren't already installed somewhere will go bye bye forever.

Steam has been around since 1999. I remember using the service for connecting to online deathmatches back in the day before they changed the service into what it is now. I think Steam will be around for at least 200 years. They have the moxy

Yeah and honestly even when some of these companies do go belly up the games you bought are generally still accessible via the company that bought them.  Even though it's a messy service for example remember Direct2Drive?  It was bought out by gamefly went onto their website now it's on it's own website again and through the entire process i could still access and use all my old purchases dating all the way back to Unreal Tournament and thief 3.

I think the companies know what's at stake.  If it ever happens to anyone, it will set digital distribution back a ways.  Most of the paranoia over losing your collection has died down.  If it happens once, however, getting that goodwill back would be very hard.

Definitely. I love the fact that (for most games) Steam will backup your save files so if something happens to your hard drive you don't loose anything. Also, I hear Steam In Home Streaming (http://store.steampowered.com/streaming/) is pretty sweet.

I also hope sales and so are more affordable... PS4 games (even on discount) are really expensive. AAA-titles usually still come in at about 30-40 dollars. (down from 60-70-ish).

For AAA titles you'll probably still see the same prices. But when the do things like the winter sale, sales are pretty big.

I think when you first get Steam you spend a ton on sales, but from talking to others and also from personal experience, there tends to be a point where you have most of the games you want and you're just looking for a handful of titles.  That cuts down on your spending quite a bit, as I used to drop $150+ easily for each sale but now I would be surprised if I spent more than $50 for the last couple.

Also, while I love Steam, they do have some serious issues with support so if you never have to use it you'll be happy but if you do have to use it, prepare yourself for the worst.

I've ever only had one issue with Steam that I did resolve via their forums, but I have a friend who has had numerous problems that had to be resolved via support tickets which took months to resolve.  It also seems to be by far the biggest complaint about Steam from others, as compared to everything else their support seems almost comically bad.

I've been having some issues with my Skyrim install and it crashing with mods in win10.

Just got back into Skyrim, and I was having the same problem.  I ended up starting a new save... and that corrected the problem.  I miss my old save, but it's nice revisiting everything for the first time.

... Except for my house.  I really miss my house.

It, like a lot of other things with Steam, is evolving.  That's the cool thing about Valve- they continue to work on the platform and make it better.  They have their hiccups (multi-user and streaming), and their outright problems (getting locked out of your account, and the fact that I can't use my budget software while my MMO is updating  :rolleyes:), but overall, it's a pretty positive experience these days.

Dark Souls 3 really has me hooked right now! Personally I recommend it :thumb:

You may be in luck to try Overwatch actually. They have a beta test weekend starting tomorrow. I don't know how they release their waves but you can read more about it here: http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/blog/20096044/ Good luck! :)

Is Dark Souls 3 sick difficult with instant dying all over the place with extra instant rage like Bloodborne?

Honestly, it's hard to say. It's difficult but that tends to change on if you've played a Souls game before and if you ended up getting better at it. IMO the difficulty is just right, I die when I'm too ambitious or at my own error... I don't feel like I've experienced any deaths in DS3 where I can say it wasn't my fault in some way.

The load times are also a lot faster than previous installments so when you die you respawn really quickly and can continue to have fun beating your head against a wall until one of you breaks ;)

I've never played a souls game besides bloodborne (ymmv whether bloodborne is "souls"-enough). And I am terrified by that game. I like to believe I'm an ok gamer but I keep dying in that game. Frustration beyond belief. I would very much like to pick up bloodborne again where I left, but couldn't find the courage to do so... Dead lurks around every staircase, corner, building you go in that game.

Bloodborne is a Souls game, its playstyle is faster than Demons/Dark Souls but the general mechanics remain the same. Personally I believe the games are difficult until you learn the patterns that enemies present to you. Once you have them down it's pretty clear when to attack and when to dodge/run away. There's a lot of patience involved and loads of trial and error but you'll find yourself gradually getting better if you take it slow and methodical. That said, learning when and where to dodge are two very important elements of the game and mastering those two things will have your enjoyment skyrocket.

Good luck in Bloodborne, if you finish it you should get the DLC; the boss fight against Lady Maria was great fun! :)

Hyper Light Drifter is pretty good so far.

Oh man that actually came out? I didn't back the kickstarter, but I had a bad feeling that one was gonna be some vaporware.


On another note: My roommate has been playing a buttload of Warframe lately and had me check it out. So far there's tons of stuff going over my head but the gameplay itself is fun and pretty impressive for a "free-to-play" game. Might stick with it, not sure.

Hell yeah, was pretty hyped. One of the leads has a cool podcast going right now that's a mix between interviews in the games scene in LA and his personal experience leading up to and after the release of the game. IMO it's pretty great:

Yeah, I'd heard the name but never looked into it until my friend started playing it. So far I've only been playing solo, but obviously there's mmo-style play as well, I really appreciate having the choice. My only complaint so far I think would be that I haven't found the perfect control scheme for me yet.

Yea, I can understand that. I've been playing Killing Floor 2 and you can play solo or online and there's definitly a learning curve on how to best kill each type of zed.

I've been spending all of my time recently on DS3, Hyper Light Drifter and Dirt Rally. Hyper Light is pretty cool. It looks great but is capped at 30fps. Dirt Rally is pretty hard, I tried a rwd car and ran it off a cliff. DS3 is my first DS game and I'm really liking it. That feeling you get when you finally kill a boss after dying SO MANY TIMES is great.

Nah... replayability for me means finding new stories, not reliving old ones.  Besides, I have a huge backlog just on steam.  Playing the same detracts from getting through that backlog.

Agreed. Especially since revisiting a lot of these games makes them look really dated. I like my memories untarnished by the reality.

I've played those Sam games to death. There was even this time when there were too many monsters / creatures spawning, so I literally put a bit of tape on my left mouse button and kept going. It was awesome. That game was ridiculous.

Picked up Dark Souls 3 last night and it's fun but seems extremely easy compared to the others in the franchise. I was able to kill Ludex on my very first attempt - that shouldn't happen :(

I have only one death in 3 hours and that was from rolling off a cliff like an idiot. I do hope it picks up in difficulty but so far just feels like any action game since there's no sense of danger. Pretty though.... but I cannot figure out why I am getting lag playing offline  :blank:

Look at you with the DS3 skills. This is my first dark souls game and I'm finding it pretty difficult. Not horrendously so but still quite challenging. Beating a boss is really satisfying.

Honestly I think this is where most of the difficulty comes from. The first Souls game you play is bound to be much harder for you than any one after it as you won't be familiar with any of the mechanics that the game throws at you (Ornstein and Smough though...). With that said I've found DS3 to have been pretty easy in the early game but the difficulty is slowly ramping up as I get closer to mid-game.

I feel that Ludex should be pretty straight forward to veterans of the series so I'm not surprised that I beat him in two attempts. I haven't gotten far enough into the game to truly judge the difficulty yet though. I really am enjoying it as a whole!

Quake is super fast..

Ontop of which, It came out 1999... and was in development even before that

So the game is really Made around the Super Responsiveness of CRTs..

Unmatched by even the BEST Lcds of moderna.


If you play it on LCD,  You're not going to get that split second clutch shot from the corner of your eye.

It's mostly been about finding how to use the environment to your advantage that's kept me alive. More than any other DS game, it seems like the environment has a ton of exploitable places you can stand for safety. Pair that with a ranged weapon and you'd almost have to try to take a hit.

What is interesting about the pacing is the enemies seem much more aggressive than in previous games, but the actual mechanics promote a conservative patient style of game play where you wait and dodge through a barrage for the opportune moment. Moreso than previous DS games, almost like they've combined Demon Souls player pacing with Bloodborne counter aggressiveness.

I am not very familiar with the other games but I've definitely found the environment can be a very useful tool in this game. Leading mobs into obstacles or compromising places has made some passages super easy. Patience is definitely key.

Ohhhh  ****. Danganronpa 2 just came out the other day on steam and I've been playing through it. The first one was seriously addicting. The pure amount of surprise, mystery, and anticipation makes it appeal to literally everyone, regardless if you think like the genre or not.

If you've never played Danganronpa, do yourself a favor and get it. I skipped work just to finish it. If you have, get the second one. It's even better than the first!

CRTs are supreme in everything. LCDs suck. But thing is... LCD's take up less space and are bigger so I guess that's why we've chosen them over LCDs.

Also, I was playing quake / doom / doom 2 today and I noticed that it is almost unplayable on an LCD because gray gradients suck (dark to a bit less dark lighting) and black levels are shabby on LCD. It is almost impossible to see enemies in the dark on an LCD, which is what doom is all about.

Good old times. I hated campers, still do. But sniping without camping is basically impossible (similar to battlefield). I always sneaked up on campers and killed them to teach them to stop doing that.

I was never really into quake 3. I was to.. slow for that I guess. People around me played Q3 even with 120% visibility and even higher speed than regular. That looked bad ass. Those reflexes of some people I gamed with... insane.

Head to this website,   you only need to calibrate 3 pages, none of the other ones

gamma, black level, and white saturation.

While it's true LCDs do not have Infinite contrast ratio like a CRT does..  with proper calibration, you should be able to see stuff without over-blowing shadow detail.

Also, I was playing quake / doom / doom 2 today and I noticed that it is almost unplayable on an LCD because gray gradients suck (dark to a bit less dark lighting) and black levels are shabby on LCD. It is almost impossible to see enemies in the dark on an LCD, which is what doom is all about.

Um... hahaha.. you need to calibrate you monitors.. LOL..

Head to this website,   you only need to calibrate 3 pages, none of the other ones

gamma, black level, and white saturation.

Quake was like that for me when I played on CRT. Raising brightness since 97' lol. Monitor calibration is just good PC hygiene.

tp is there a professional or semi pro program you would recommend for calibration?

So GMG is having a special right now on Stellaris and with promo code SPACE25 you can pick it up for $30, so my friend convinced me to buy it.  So far, with 2-3 hours played, it's pretty fun and reminds me of other Paradox releases, although it does seem more streamlined as it was much easier for me to pick up than Crusader Kings II.  Supposedly Paradox did a lot of work on the late game to negate common problems in 4X strategy games where certain races or civilizations get too OP, so I look forward to playing it more and maybe even doing some multiplayer :)

The game is amazing. Spent several hours on it with a friend in a custom game and it's just the best 4X game I've tried. One of my favorite games this year.

Unless you do color work for PRINTING or Archiving..  you do not need accurate calibration.

Just using that website by eye is enough..

The human eye is not terribly sensitive to chroma differences (the color)

It is far more sensitive to LUMA, because our visual system is predominantly designed to DETECT edges..

Alrighty. Yea I'm not much of a photographer but if my design hobby grows I'll find an automated type system for calibration.

I gave Path Of Exile another shot. I'm stuck on the second quest OnO, but the game is pretty enjoyable so far imo.

I'm getting used to pausing and speeding it up/down, but otherwise I've been really enjoying it.  I really like the different factions and that you can make your own custom faction.

The singleplayer is loads better than i thought they would end up pulling off..really feels true to the original Doom roots whilst adding some modern things into the mix at the same time. 

The Multiplayer however is a different story and if that is your main interest i would wait for a sale...just feels like another generic MP with customization that amounts to nothing but visual changes as you progress.

TLDR: Single player is a blast thus far (Unsure of length have not finished yet)  Optimization is great!  Multiplayer is fairly generic and nothing to write home about.

I keep going back but then I quit before the month is over. I think it's because it's not the same game as what I started playing 10 years ago when it first came out. I guess I miss 40 man raids. :D

Don't worry, Ghandi rarely survives to late-game because he very rarely expands to more than 2-3 cities and usually gets gobbled up by warmongers.  I never deal with him anymore because he is a self-righteous asshat who loves to denounce people and then ask for stuff.

To change it, you should be at a screen that looks like this...

(http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/civilization/images/e/eb/Starting_a_new_game_(Civ5).png/revision/latest?cb=20130718202121)

Then you're going to click the 'Advanced Setup' button directly to the left of the 'Start Game' button which will bring you to a screen that looks like this...

(https://www.withoutthesarcasm.com/wp-content/uploads/civ5-custom.jpg)

This screen will allow you to change not only your Civ, but also the AI Civs and lots of other settings.  I always recommend turning on Quick Combat because if you don't late-game takes way longer once planes get involved, as their attack animation takes probably 30 seconds to complete for each plane attacking.

I think it's just the fun of hopping online and playing a ~30 minute round with a bunch of randos and demolishing their scores then being able to hop off. I've almost maxed out two perk charts.
So I think I'm going to pick up Witcher 3 and wait for a steam sale on Doom.

If you haven't already I would highly suggest you go out and buy the Odin Sphere remake. It is a gorgeously lush, well designed game with addictive gameplay. If you played the original, this version fixes literally every issue with it (like inv sorting during combat) and revamps a lot of the mechanics that kept the original great game from being amazing. But this version of Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is perfect.

If you have a PS3 or PS4 do yourself a favor and grab Odin Sphere Leifthrasir. It's a very memorable single player experience.

TBH, this in itself makes it hard for me to not buy a PS4. Having a higher resolution and no slowdown is what I've wanted since Odin Sphere was originally released.

I tried Dota2, how the flip does a person backup in that game? I can't make my character retreat when I've gone too far forward. It's cool though, lots of stuff to learn for sure

Edit - I'll look it up. Complete MOBA newb here

Playing through Resident Evil 4 for the first time. Everyone always raves about it and guess what, it's actually really quite good. About 10 hours in so far - just into the castle area a little. The level design and atmosphere are great, but I wouldn't call it a scary game since the monsters are either very human looking or just outlandish and silly, but don't let that detract from the solid game play. I downloaded a fan created HD texture pack for the first half of the game that makes the village look gorgeous, turning PS2 graphics into PS3 graphics. I only really have two qualms with the game, one being this seems to mark the spot in time RE started becoming less survival horror and more of a straight action game, but some residual aspects from previous titles still linger making the game more tense than RE 5 and 6 for sure which just devolved into a **** covered mess of a zombie shooter action game. And the second thing is the god awful camera angle. I understand from a design perspective why the camera is so close to Leon and pointed at a fixed angle to the ground. They do it to restrict the player's view and not allow free camera movement so you are just seeing the smaller portion of the screen they want you to, but almost half the screen is ground and Leon's back. If they just panned up a little bit...

BUT it is still a fantastically designed game with some fun b-horror plot points and memorable well designed areas and boss fights. Gonna have to hold me over until RE7 comes out  ^-^

Started a playthrough of Fallout 4 just now, been trying to add some special effects to it but it just makes the game seem really weird and stupid. Does anyone know of any good mods to enhance the graphics on that game a bit? Running on a pretty damn old engine.
Beyond that really enjoying the game thus far, I made my character look hella stupid.

That was definitely a fun game. A little simple and short but it held true to the show in appearance and the sorry line. If you like the show, you'll definitely like the game.

I'm confused myself as to why they want to bring back system shock..

It wasn't very fun imho,  the gameplay wasn't intuitive and very slow, like a 3D dungeon crawler with arbitrary bolt on puzzle elements..

Every once in a while I do some Broforce runs and I never seem to get tired of the game. The heroes are very neat, the gameplay is fun and they recently introduced new heroes in a very neat update. They update the game pretty frequently actually, but this time they released one right before the game went on sale. It's available on Steam and I definitely recommend it for the price they're asking.

I'd have to agree. Broforce is awesome.
Not the longest game, but there are a couple hours of fun in there to be had. And it's one of those games you can easily play again.
Just checked it's -60% right now which is just insane.

Yeah it's a great price for such a nice little game. Devolver Digital is a fantastic publisher, the guys were behind the Hotline Miami series (a masterpiece) and Broforce as well. The hero that I find myself most confortable playing with is the Brocketeer he's a total badass.

Are you using an emulator?  I had several floppy disks full of custom doom wad files (levels, weapon mods, etc) that became unreadable so I lost them.  I still have a few compact discs with custom maps (picked up in stores).  I thought about breaking them out, but I don't know if I want to go that far just to be disappointed (after being spoiled with high end graphics games for so long).

Yea it's actually really easy to setup if you use a Windows or Linux box (idk about OSX). Check out the Darkplaces engine, that thing is amazing! It'll run all your Quake 1 content from a Window 7-10 OS or Linux distro, and it will run the updated models/textures if you're interested in that sort of thing. I think I owned Level Master V and Aftershock but I probably lost those in a move at some point. Some of my roommates had sticky fingers, unfortunately. The new textures/models on max are too much for my passive cooled XFX AMD 1GB card; but you'll no doubt be able to play everything on full tilt with that monster rig you're talking about.

If you hate new fangled graphics in your pristine game you could probably run it all through Dosbox - the DOS emulator.

Playing through (trying) Catherine on PS3. What a weird game, and almost half not a game at all. Half of it is a anime style love triangle visual novel and... I dunno, bar patron simulator?

But the actual puzzle portions are brutally difficult. Currently just made it past Night 5 and on normal it's still insanely hard. You need to move the blocks perfectly on those Inquisition stages or you're toast, no room for error. It's very frustrating, but also rewarding.

I wish it actually saved when it says "SAVING" though, not like I lost 2 hours of game play or nothing thinking it saved...

Are you using an emulator?  I had several floppy disks full of custom doom wad files (levels, weapon mods, etc) that became unreadable so I lost them.  I still have a few compact discs with custom maps (picked up in stores).  I thought about breaking them out, but I don't know if I want to go that far just to be disappointed (after being spoiled with high end graphics games for so long).

They do have the Ultimate collection on Steam, not the exact same trip as playing on OG floppys but the game is the same and optimized for modern systems. Doom II is still fun as ever-livin' Hell!

Oh hell, you said Doom wad files. I saw wad files and blanked out for a minute whoops :-[ Yea if you want to emulate it runs just fine in DOSBox

(Attachment Link)

Haha - I guess I can always run it on my kids' minecraft box.  I might have to break them out when I have the house to myself and a lot of beer.

Playing lots of morrowind as of late. Still have a Uber **** PC, so I'm sticking with the old but good games.

play mount&blade warband.... first time i played it i thought i would just try it for 1, maybe 2 hours...

ended up playing 12 hours in 3 days and haven't touched it since... that game is scary

I bought the Mount & Blade bundle when it was on sale a while back.  I used to have it and it seemed fun but the combat system left a lot to be desired.  I think I did the same thing as you - binged for several hours and never looked back.

Played some No mans Sky earlier today.

Wow. What a complete and utter disappointment and a real chore to play. Basically a prettier but less engaging and very buggy Minecraft. If you were really looking forward to this one I would maybe wait until it goes on sale, you won't get but a couple hours out of this title in its current state.

It seems like most of the things they advertised actually weren't present at launch.
They're going to be adding stuff via patches afaik - still though I am not paying premium price for a game that has very little to do.

I was pretty bummed to read about what the guy with the leaked copy had to say regarding the game. Talk about a $1000 disappointment. I might jump on after a year and see how things are

Probably not a bad idea to do. Wait I mean.
I don't think I'll even consider it before there's bounty hunting in the game.

So the new Ghost in the Shell FPS is actually pretty good. It's in open beta right now and free to play, got lots of characters from the series to play as including some others, and it uses the original English voice actors as well from the sounds of things.

It's pretty good and you even get a Tachikoma to play as too  :-X

I recently finished my first play through of this game. I loved it. It was also my first souls game and the combat was hard to get used to as it is really punishing. Super rewarding to beat the bosses in this game.

A guitarist more so inclined to be playing the chord progression of a song rather picking individual notes or the forefront of the song. The lead guitarist could be playing a solo while the rhythm guitarist continues the natural progression of the song.

the only reason anyone plays street fighter 3,  is because daigo still plays 3..  if daigo stops playing 3..

Pretty much no one is going to play 3 anymore..

But his focus is on the latest iteration of course, because that gets the bigger crowd as a pro gamer.

Do any of you guys get down to the old Sierra text-adventure/adventure games? Those are what I was raised on before HL1 took over my life... I still go back and play them every so often.

King's Quest, Police Quest, Gold Rush, Hero's Quest aka Quest for Glory, Space Quest, Manhunter, Leisure Suit Larry ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), the Gabriel Knight games...

In fact, those games are the reason I learned to type in the first place... I remember being a little kid playing the first Police Quest, typing over and over again to that hot, speeding chick to check her license, but I kept misspelling it. Good times... I love all those games.

Hahaha, yeah! Always had to sneak that one and quickly switch it off if anyone came upstairs (belonged to my older brother).

Do you remember how for some of the games you had to answer a random question to even be able to play the game? Gold Rush was like that, and some of the LSL games... It'd ask you some obscure historical question or something only found in the game manual. I always had to get my Dad to figure out the answers to the Gold Rush questions... Such existential darkness at a young age, not knowing every detail of the California Gold Rush...  :))

All I wanted to play all day today was Skyrim. Yesterday I installed the Special Edition because I didn't have all my old mods in place to load my old save (like 80 hours, lv 35) without it crashing every time.

I installed a few mods and started a new game, and now every time I got to load the new save it says the save file is corrupt.

I ended up playing some Shadow of Mordor which was kinda cool, but still no Skyrim...

Usually play a round or two of Overwatch on the weekends before I ragequit because I suck. Got stuck in Bronze after season 3 placements even though I was nearly at Platinum in s2. I'm climbing again but it's a real PITA.

Right now my relaxing, go-to games are The Talos Principle and Euro Truck Simulator 2.

I used to play this game called Steam/GOG sales, but now my backlog gives me PTSD  :eek:



Gotta catch'um all   ..  /// it calls to you... /// the precious-es ///

The precious-es sure did call to me...
Thankfully all my hobby money goes to keyboards now. Forces me to play the damn games!

Picked up Hard West for 9$. Not so bad, Like a wild west XCOM Lite. I don't think I really like all the non-combat stuff. The Idea that injuries turn into a penalty and a buff is kinda neat. Definitely worth it at the low price point.

I played Toss The Turtle for the first time yesterday. I remember playing Alien Hominid when it first appeared in Newgrounds, but none of my peeps from Florida knew of Toss The Turtle. I was the kid with a secret diskette pocket sewn into my backpack; I was definitely in the loop back then :)

Not sure if you play Depth, but that's a game I used to play all the time until my cousin introduced me to CS:GO. CS:GO is fun and all, but Depth is far more interesting because of the sheer number of attack angles sharks have on divers in open water. Probably will switch back to that once I tire of CS:GO.

+1m For Path of Exile, I'm coming up on 4k hours played and if anyone is a fan of old arpgs like Diablo 2 then you should really try it out.

Its a true successor to Diablo 2 and is really the best arpg right now (or ever). While it is very complex and has a steep learning curve for all the mechanics it is well worth it.

Gonna take a long weekend next week and go through both DLCs back-to-back as I haven't played either yet and am super excited to get into DS3 once again.

maybe I'll even try to kill the Nameless King a few hundred more times.... :blank:

What do you think of the witcher so far? (I presume #3?) Do you think it lives up to all the hype and critical acclaim?

If this is the Witcher 3, you're in for a real treat. That is in the running for greatest game I've ever played. Just can't shake the nostalgia of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Wind Waker.

I recently started playing this and I have already burnt out. Is the crafting system detrimental to the game? I have not crafted and that could be why I am not enjoying it as much.

Crafting is definitely worthwhile because your potions & bombs replenish every time you rest. In other RPGs, I find myself hoarding consumables for some future battle that never comes, but in the Witcher, you are encouraged to use them on a regular basis since they always refill for free. You just have to craft it once to "learn" the recipe, and they add some nice variety to combat.

I really like it but it takes a lot of time if you wanna complete everything.   The whole battle preparation thing took some getting used to but I enjoy role playing

I don't know exactly what it is about VI either.  It's definitely better than Beyond Earth was at release but I feel like the pacing and changes to tiles is off-putting to me, but probably just because I am so used to V and it's pace/gameplay.

I remember playing the original Prey on the very first gaming PC I built for myself. I was worried that the 2017 version would be garbage and could never be an equal of the original, but they are both good in their own right!

How is the horror handled in this game? I know it has a lot of action sequences, but when it's supposed to be scary it is jumpscare-type of stuff or creeping dread kind of stuff?

I think there's been one jump scare I've encountered. Most of the tension comes from the atmosphere, and not knowing when a mimic is hidden as an ordinary object waiting to ambush you. However there are subtle clues that can tip you off (identical objects located closely together) Also resources are limited and you can be easily overwhelmed by some of the stronger enemies, so you have to be stealthy while you observe the scene and decide the best approach (there are always multiple ways to solve problems in the game)

My only complaint is that the weapon selection is a bit limited compared to other shooters, but it does take place on a research facility. Also you can upgrade yourself by researching the enemies and gaining the same powers they use, so that supplements the weapons.

Normally, I would say the same, but my friend and I have used Shadowplay (or whatever it's called now) to record evidence of some blatant BS. Most of the time it can be calked up to bad aim or slow reaction time on my part, but there have been a couple clear instances of being shot and killed before the enemy even appears on my screen or when an enemy is facing another direction (my ping is usually around 50-60 ms, so it's not my internet connection).

Just finished Superhot. Looks great. The gameplay gimmick they introduce half way through switched it up nicely. The game sort of reminds me of a Half Life mod I used to play back in the day called The Specialists. I preferred the execution of the broadly similar plot in Pony Island but it still does it with a lot of style.

Also playing a little Sayonara Umihara Kawase. Physics based Japanese 2d platformer where you grab onto stuff with a fishing line and throw yourself around the place. It's nice. Good for 15 minute bursts anyway.

Currently into PUBG pretty deep. It's been fun playing with folks from the mech community! Other than that I played a little Lethis: Path of Progress and have been enjoying it. It's very similar to older sim city games and is super enjoyable.

Some of the older shooters like COD 4/WAW MP, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Battlefied 4 and Bioshock 1. Also been playing some campaigns on Total War Fall of the Samurai and Medieval II. Didn't really pick up much games during the Steam sale so I've just been playing some older titles like these ones.

I bought CS: GO. I used play CS pretty heavily for a couple of years starting out with Beta 7. At that point I got sick to death of the maps and I'd had enough of it.

Surprised that I'm enjoying it so much this time around. All the new maps seem less sniper focussed and I'm not stuck playing Dust and Dust2 ad nauseum. I'm also doing pretty well lasting into rounds and getting kills. Either I'm better than I remember or the ranking system works really well and not sticking me on servers where I just get pwned all day.

I'd forgotten how bloody satisfying the gunplay is. Popping a few people in a row with the AWP is glorious.

I had a Minecraft server running for a couple of my friends and family.
It's really fun to learn to set up. I had to set up a VM from the console for it, was immensely fun to do.
I need a new project, my server's being seriously underutilized right now.

Every once in a while, I'll play a few hours of Don't Starve Together with friends, or we'll play through a campaign on L4D, which is still one of my favorite games.

Gender-locked and race-locked classes. You have to be a loli or elf girl or some other specific trope character if you want to play certain classes, and that ticks me off big time. Don't get me wrong, Tera's combat system is probably great, but when I install a game and see that almost all of the AD carry and mage classes are locked to lolis and catgirls... You get the point. It's cancer.

I would totally fire up Tera and rekt havoc with my oldskool gunner if I had a legit keyboard with F row (my mistake :( ).

My twocents: the Elins are sorta creepy. Although they do fight for veggies, trees, other natural whatchamacallits, and whatnot so I guess they are alright.

It was always nice to get matched to atleast one or two Elin Reapers per dungeon I can say this much. Holy moly, reapers would murder everything in sight.

Still been playing lot's of Heat Signature. Fun to just jump on and do a couple missions inbetween work or whatever, got some interesting story paths opened up.

For anyone interested - Heat Signature is kinda like a cross between Hotline Miami and FTL, where you select from a group of revolving characters and carry out various missions like assassinations, captures, or stealing important items. You zip around space in your pod, latching onto larger ships which act as the levels/missions. The options and ways to take out enemies are varied from just slicing or shooting them, to blowing out an airlock and clearing a room or switching places after they fire their gun so they wind up shooting themselves :)) As you play your characters will get killed, captured, or retire - at which point another character can come in with he personal mission to save or seek vengance, thus creating a player-created flow to the characters and motives.

Hollow Knight is really, really good but it is a platformer. It doesn't really feel like one though; there's a lot of complexity and fluidity in the gameplay that makes you forget the lack of a third dimension. I think it's one of the best games I've played so far. And the atmosphere is absolutely amazing too, it feels and sounds like you are with the hollow knight throughout the game. it's 20 bucks for about 60 hours of gameplay so it is definitely worth your money too

Recently finished Limbo in a couple of nights. It was neat, but lost the impact by the end. In part because I played it without sound—the GNU/Linux port was just the Windows version bundled with Wine, and it required some messing with PulseAudio, which I was too lazy to do. I guess it'd get old really fast anyway, when repeating a puzzle a dozen times. I don't feel like I missed much apart from a bit of atmosphere; I used to listen to the OST in bed, while falling asleep.

I've also tried DEFCON (it was too easy against bots and I couldn't be bothered to look into multiplayer) and Uplink (should be nice, but I can't find the time and motivation to get into it). Next on the list is Bastion.

Bioshock 1 Remastered is mostly bug free. Most of the bugs were actually carry overs from the original version anyway. The only really prominent bug left only bothers you if you import an old save from another computer. Steam Cloud works fine though.

Bioshock 2 Remastered however can be a pain in the derriere. The biggest problem is you must run the game in DX9 mode, or it will crash every 5 minutes. You should also edit the config file so it uses at least 1GB of VRAM (default is 256MB, which isn't nearly enough). And then, you're still gonna get crashes in some flashy fights (which the game has a lot of due to you being a rogue Big Daddy who lets Little Sisters gather Adam--which draws enemies in like a lightning rod in a thunderstorm). So yeah, you have to save often.

it's great for -learning to type faster-


But for already-fast people, it's just too easy, because the game progress is designed from slower to faster..

It claims the difficulty is adaptive based upon your WPM in the game, but I'm not very far in so it's been fairly easy thus far. It's clear it would be great for beginners though, if I had a kid I would get this for them in a heartbeat. I wish the game were harsher on typos though, perhaps that comes later.

Tried out sea of thieves on a whim with a free game pass trial to see how it is, I was really disappointed. The core mechanics of the game are cool, and lots of fun with friends. But only for like 5 hours until you run out of things to do in the game. After some research I found out that there's a community hosting the old Pirates of the Caribbean mmo. Honestly, having a ton more fun with a resurrected mmo from 2007 than sea of thieves. Definitely recommend if you want some casual pirate fun.

Flare: Empyrean Campaign (http://flarerpg.org/index.php/mods/flare-empyrean/)

It's probably the best community-developed open-source action RPG (read: Diablo clone) out there, which is honestly quite disappointing, when you consider that the campaign was released only a month ago and not 15 years ago. Not a bad game though.

Honestly just get a PS3. The games are pretty cheap for now, it plays PS1/PS3 games, is completely region free for JAP and EU exclusives, and has one of the strongest game libraries of any console ever made.

I may be a huge Neo Geo and PcEngine fan, but PS3 has all my favorite games.

I don't really replay games all that much and I feel like for $100 a year it might be more economical too. I feel like with the games that I want to play, I'd have to hold a subscription for 3 years before I break even between that and buying a PS3+games. I'm also kinda into Dualshock 4 (I need new controllers, my good ole xbox 360 wired finally caved). I just worry about input lag/the queue times :/

Though maybe I should just get the trial... totally forgot that was a thing...

Woo, got Witcher 3 all modded and tweaked to my liking all ready to play. Actually had to go rooting around in the ini files to tweak some settings properly, but it's super cool that the devs even let you do that. Very cool.

So now I got it looking beautiful and running at a stable(ish) 30fps, which is pretty good for all the mods and ancient system I'm running it on. Before I was getting around 55 fps on LOW settings with no mods at all, now it looks better than Ultra and 2x as fast  as that (Ultra settings I get 12-16 fps.)

PC master race indeed.

Nice :) Even just with the in-game graphics settings a few things like Shadow Quality affect framerate pretty significantly. I played on Ultra for everything else (hairworks + AA disabled) but still kept Shadow Quality on medium since in my comparison tests it only affected distant objects noticeably. I later used Reshade to add back some smoother AA.

Y'know, I typed up a paragraph or two about the new BATTLETECH game a few days ago, but I guess I forgot to click "post". Yada yada, the new initiative system is weird and not intuitive, so I don't know how to use it strategically; I just move units and attack when it says I can. I imagine that won't be sufficient when the game gets harder. I wish it just used the tabletop game's rules.

We used to do that about once a year at my job. We were relegated to old games since most new games don't let users host their own games, and we weren't allowed to use the Internet connection. The guy who put it together isn't here anymore, nor are many of the old players who attended.

In college, we didn't have any install access (or at least didn't want to abuse the privileges) on the computers so I would put League/Steam games onto an external hard drive and play off of that. Fun times.

Also update on the PS life, I ended up buying 2 Dualshock 4 controllers (I needed new controllers as my old 3rd party wired xbox360 controllers are starting to crap out). I kinda hate how Windows handles DS4. DS4Windows makes it slightly better though I guess. Seems pretty annoying though but maybe I'm doing something wrong??

I've never used the newer Dualshocks but I have four DualShock 1/2 controllers that work perfect with a converter (Super Joy Box Pro). Might be something to look into if you prefer the design of Playstation controllers. I also have 360 controllers, PowerLead (dualshock clone with extra buttons), Razer Serval (mechanical buttons), and TNP Xbox controllers. I prefer 360 controllers but the Razer is a close second, TNP and PSX/PS2 controllers trailing the Razer, and the PowerLead a distant last.

DS4 has native configurability on Steam via its controller scheme settings (I believe it's only available to configure in the Big Picture mode settings), however I too use DS4Windows.

Not sure if Steam now allows for disabling the lightbar, if it does then you'll save a lot of battery life since that consumes the most battery.

Best tip I received was use Bluetooth exclusively and charge via a power outlet directly, rather than plugging the DS4 into the system via USB to charge. Otherwise I've found it can be annoying re-connection dance with Windows that often has issues.

DS4 is so nice, ergonomically. Used to loathe the previous gen DualShocks.

Actually, there's a lot of computer games that i play.
I am mainly a pc gamer. From when i was 3, i played my first games suck as Millys Math House, and Sammys Science house. Because of how fun they were, it interested me to see what it was like to play games on the computer.
I used my parent's computer, and mainly played flash games such as Club Penguin and Animal Jam (funny thing is my account is about 7 years old) and generally in that era i liked point and click adventures where all you needed to do was click.
When i was 12, i was bored one day, so i wanted to play Super Mario Bros online. Then, i discovered emulators in which i could get those games for free. I played them during my spare time, and when the internet got shut off for a day recently, i was prepared for my free time.
Mainly, the games that i play are generally 2d platformers such as Shovel Knight, but also things such as Minecraft and Roblox. I also play Clustertruck, and CS GO Surf.

Just beat Mario Odyssey and The Evil Within the past few days. Mario was a very fun lil time.

Been obsessed with the classic pc shooter Blood lately as well. I am starting to believe Blood is not only the best Build Engine game ever made, but one of the best 2D FPS games ever made period. Satisfying voxal explosions, haunting soundtrack(s), destructible environments, great atmosphere, punishing game play, and Stephan Weyte voicing Caleb all add up to something very special. It's criminal that this franchise has been left behind and that Blood 2 was such an unabashed festering barrel of offal.
I would HIGHLY recommend Blood to any fan of challenging well crafted shooters. Get the One Full Pint pack off Steam which has all the episodes, download BloodGDX to get it running and controlling nicely, and play it on Well Done(or Lightly Broiled if you kinda suck.) Before you know it you too can be tossing dynamite bundles into clusters of cultists and laughing like a maniac!

Before you know it you too can be tossing dynamite bundles into clusters of cultists and laughing like a maniac!
Blood was a fantastic experience.
I only really remember Blood 2 which is kind of terrible. I'll probably be getting the game if it's on steam.

I love Blood. One of my favorite classics. Have you seen the fan remake of the first level? Basically just a graphics upgrade but still cool.
Also a remastered edition is in the works: https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/467687-blood-remastered-edition-coming-from-nightdive-studios

I also spent a bunch of time on Redneck Rampage with the cusspack. It was so obnoxious but fun.

Right now I've been spending a lot of time on Styx: Master of Shadows. I started it when it first came out and ended up checking out Skyrim and got lost on that for the time and have now found my way back to Styx. If you like stealth games this is pretty great.

Why the **** do people like Destiny? What a horrible boring skinner box of a game there. I reckon the only reason people play Destiny is because their friends play it. So it's this vicious cycle of playing a terrible, overdesigned, unfun, repetitive, boring game only because all your friends feel the same way and don't wanna stop playing because their friends play as well. Like hanging out with people who do drugs, so you do drugs to hang with them.

How is the physical TCG?  Do you play with newly released cards, or OG cards?  I haven't touched them since when they were first released, and rarely actually played the game back then.  :))

Nice!  I played Minecraft exactly once, back in the beta days, if I'm not mistaken.  Can definitely understand the appeal, especially if it's more polished these days.

I have been enthralled with The Coin Game. I dunno how to describe it... it's like a town simulator with an emphasis on arcade ticket machine games? It's surreal and lovely and I cannot stop playing it. I want to live in this weird world where it's always dusk and always your birthday and everyone in town is a robot built by your uncle.

It's in early access right now, and there is a ton of stuff being added regularly. I have no idea where the developer is going with the design of this game, which is something unique about The Coin Game. You get a sense there is something deeper going on, and as new content is added you can explore more of the little town. There is also this weird sense of looming dread, but nothing bad ever happens so it's totally unfounded for now.

Love it, but it can be very expensive if you want to stay competitive. Because the strategy involved is so spread out, there's no one perfect deck, and you can have all kinds of strategy involved but it's up to what cards you've included--which of course comes at a cost (literally). I mostly play with newly released cards. The OG cards would be a pain to use today because they wouldn't be able to compete due to the high energy cost and low attack power. But I still get the OG cards to collect!
When the TCG was new in the States, I was at my dad's Xmas party at work and they bought the kids booster packs. I pulled a foil Gyarados in my first and only pack and I've been hooked since. I started playing, though, only about ten years ago through the online version. You should try it! It's free and they give you starter decks.

I do miss Minecraft. I think I stopped playing when it was still in beta, too.

Ahh, that makes sense.  I would love to collect cards again (no real reason other than I'm drawn to collecting things, lol - so I will be holding off for sure), and of course wouldn't have anyone to play with anyway so won't be doing that.  I never drew any great cards from booster packs, but I did always love the excitement of it.  :D  Jealous of your foil Gyarados!

You should try it! It's free and they give you starter decks.

God damn it, romevi!!  I tried it last night thinking there was no way I'd be interested (a virtual TCG game? why would that be fun? all I ever did with TCGs was collect them, the game never made sense).  I'm totally hooked.  :))  This is exactly what the TCG should have been all along!  I've very quickly realized that the issue I had in my childhood was that I never really understood the rules or bothered to learn them.  I think the digital format works incredibly well for this sort of game, since it makes the barrier to entry so low and accessible.  Also, the whole not needing to spend actual money on cards to build a good deck is a huge help - I was always fearful of that aspect too (which is why I have never tried to get into MTG).

For reference, I have never played any sort of tabletop deck building game, so I have no experience with them (again, always considered them too complicated and involved).

Even worse, you can buy the physical cards and you get codes to redeem in the digital version! A physical booster pack will give you a code for a digital booster pack of random cards online, but stuff like preconstructed decks and special box sets will give you the exact cards you purchased physically. So it's deadly perfect if you're like me and like to play the physical and digital versions!

I never really played any other TCG. I'm waiting for Magic: The Gathering Arena to come to Macs. (And, just like Pokemon, you get codes from physical sets to redeem!)

But yeah, you can do daily battles in the Pokemon TCGO and you'll get rewarded with points and, at times, booster packs. It's a longer method of building decks, but if you're playing casually and don't want to spend money, then it's free cards!  :p

I played a bit, finished like 10 missions, then for some reason I couldn't go any further, I kept getting same mission all over again, couldn't find a way to start new ones, weird.
So dropped the game. Didn't even expand/build bigger base...

Still playing Borderlands 3 occasionally, also playing Gears 5 on harder setting, but have also started on COD MW (2019) and though I have a VEGA64 as my GPU, it runs and looks great. I am hampered by odd freezes  here and there, so I'm taking my time for more patches and driver updates to see if this issue goes away.

I dunno what black magic ****ery Rockstar did in this recent patch, but I went from only being to run RDR2 in Low/Med settings in windowed mode, to being able to run it in High/Ultra settings while still getting the same fps as I was on Low settings before the patch.

They ACTUALLY did it! Slowly getting more optimized, and I no longer have to choose between having it look like a PS2 game or playing it as a slideshow  :thumb:

Let's not forget the time Ubisoft locked all their games to 30 fps and lowered the graphic quality on PC for cinematic quality?

They had to lower their settings because they knew that PC was superior to console....

Jedi: Fallen Order, seriously if you are a fan of great single player games that can take >20, >30, >40 hrs to complete give this one a look! I have barely gamed at all the past few months, but I started this game 3 days ago & haven't been able to set it down. Great story (so far IME), great gameplay, pretty good graphics. Honestly I think even non Star Wars fans could get into it, if you are a Star Wars fan though just get it!. Don't want to give any spoilers, but felt compelled to give it a recommendation on here.

Game's actually pretty short; about 20+ hours depending on how much of a completionist you are. It's a great Star Wars game if you're a SW fan, and still a pretty good one if you're not.

Definitely plays better on a controller given the combat gameplay, but you might need some adjustment time if you're not used to playing with a controller.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm pretty big on using M+KB in most games, but this one definitely plays much better with a controller. The 360 controller would be perfect, especially if you are on windows.

I think DMC has the worst writing I've ever seen in a AAA game. I'm shocked and frustrated someone was actually hired and paid actual money to generate that complete trash, and I can't even get an interview for a narrative position.
Someone at Capcom actually read that dialogue, plot, and script and said "Yes, this looks good."

I have the grand rotation which I go through, and every so often a new game pops in, and then out.

1. Minecraft
2. Ark
3. Stellaris
4. Path of Exile
5. Dwarf Fortress

rinse and repeat. Every few years a game will replace these, but I almost always come back to these, their open endedness always keeps me playing.

Currently I'm off rotation, and playing The Master Chief Collection.

GF and I started playing ESO together and it's been great. It's definitely *not* the game for anyone that wants a challenge or satisfying MMO leveling experience (the level scaling is.... really weird), but it's excellent if you want more Elder Scrolls storytelling and world-building. Tons of content, all of it's voice acted. And a huge nostalgia bomb playing through the same Morrowind areas I spent so much time in as a teen.

A friend convinced me to pick it up the other day and I've played a couple raids and tried a couple of scav runs. Just figured out you can get missions from the different traders etc you get it.
The learning curve is steep, but it's a thoroughly enjoyable game, especially if you have others to play it with.
There's no tutorial or anything to get you acquainted with the different maps etc. You're just plunged right in to it and you've gotta figure out how to survive.
So far I've died and lost my **** a couple times now. It's really not the end of the world I found out. I thought I'd be too stressed out over it to enjoy the game but that turned out not to be the case.
Once the game's loaded you're just so amped. The atmosphere and sound is so fantastic.
Those are my initial thoughts. Might change my mind after a while who knows.

That's the perfect description for CIV 6. I did one campaign on that game and never came back. It was way too easy to just envelop the map with armies. They need to work on their balancing. Maybe with another 5 years of updates.

I need to start RDR2 finally myself. I waited for the PC release, and nobody seemed to be happy about that when it came out either, so I decided to wait.

I've been debating on that game for a long time. I may just do it soon myself.

It's an interesting game, for sure. I feel like the concept is much better than the execution, though.

It suffers from some rough netcode issues and frame stutters. The fights are rarely matched and the quest for realism comes at the cost of enjoyment, IMO.

I used to enjoy it more last summer when it was a bit more simple (shorter scav times, no healing between raids/hideout, unlimited Labs runs)... now it seems like a game you have to treat like a daily job. The amount of time invested VS enjoyment is a bit low, with so much time spent in the inventory, loading queues, etc. When you finally have a fight, it's either someone you can steamroll, someone who can steamroll you (or 5 guys who can), a raider 'nade from 250 meters that's precise to 40 decimal places, or just sniped out of the clear blue sky.

That said, if you like the role-playing aspects and are willing to commit lots of time to it, plus have good PC specs, it can provide some good times, especially with friends. Just make sure not to take it too seriously!  :cool:

I think your assessment is spot-on. Every game my friend wants me to play is like this: you have to read millions of wikis and spreadsheets, watch hours of tutorial videos, and spend hours in menu/inventory screens just to know what you're doing, and then you still suck at the actual gameplay. That just isn't fun to me.

It's cool that the ammunition is realistic and that armor isn't penetrated by rounds that can't defeat it (unlike every other game in which it just takes more shots to defeat the armor), but I don't want to research every little detail to play a game.

I think maybe once the game takes on its original premise of starting at one location and escaping to the next, it may be more fun. Or maybe I just need a bigger, more organized group to play with.

YES! Both Bloodstained games are revelations IMO, mostly Ritual of the night though as I bet Curse of the Moon will not be to popular with anyone who got started with 32 bit consoles & beyond.

Just started up Star Citizen over the weekend and it was kinda cool to run bounty-hunter missions in the starter ships. Wasn't quite a "great" experience yet, even after 10 years of development.
I loved Freelancer, did you ever play that? Does it compare?

Started playing Dead Cells the other day & man is it good! If you like Roguelikes & Metroidvania games I'd give it a look.

Second Dead Cells!

I third Bloodstained. Personally, as short of a game Order of Ecclesia was for the DS for being their last on the DS it was fantastic and now my favorite throwback. Also Portrait of Ruin was an odd bird, but somehow after the sixth playthrough the character switch mechanic really grew on me

It's an interesting game, for sure. I feel like the concept is much better than the execution, though.

It suffers from some rough netcode issues and frame stutters. The fights are rarely matched and the quest for realism comes at the cost of enjoyment, IMO.

I used to enjoy it more last summer when it was a bit more simple (shorter scav times, no healing between raids/hideout, unlimited Labs runs)... now it seems like a game you have to treat like a daily job. The amount of time invested VS enjoyment is a bit low, with so much time spent in the inventory, loading queues, etc. When you finally have a fight, it's either someone you can steamroll, someone who can steamroll you (or 5 guys who can), a raider 'nade from 250 meters that's precise to 40 decimal places, or just sniped out of the clear blue sky.

That said, if you like the role-playing aspects and are willing to commit lots of time to it, plus have good PC specs, it can provide some good times, especially with friends. Just make sure not to take it too seriously!  :cool:

If you were talking about ARK, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference, we have to boost our rates like crazy to ensure we can actually play that sanely.

But that does speak well of Tarkhov as I do like that sort of game, I wish I had more time to get REALLY into them, but I'm still gonna give it a shot!

I enjoy the gunplay. For me it's really fun.

The random weapon and armor drops are a nice surprise. It's extra cool when seeing another persons build and wanting a specific weapon or armor piece and getting it. Once you get the actual weapon you want, you then get to decide if it's actually as good for you as you hoped and build it up or scrap it and move to something else.

I originally was deciding between this, Apex Legends and Overwatch. I was drawn to the single player aspects as well as the ability to jump in on 3 person or 6 person teams. There is plenty of PvE and PvP stuff to get into.

I think it's worth checking out, especially since it's F2P on Steam, XboxOne, and PS4. It is a large download though, around 100GB. That's definitely an issue for some.

I installed it when it went F2p on steam. I played through the tutorial, then got lost and couldn't figure out what I was suppose to do .  went on a random quest,  it was very grindy, but maybe it was meant for more players ?

I played the first Destiny, only because people bothered me to get it, just like COD Black Ops. That one, at least, seemed grindy to me. It is basically a Halo MMO, without Master Chief since Bungie doesn't own the rights anymore. I never was a fan of MMOs, but I would easily choose SWTOR over the others I have tried.

I have had way more than my share of carrot-on-a-stick games, especially since I wasted many years on Runescape. I miss the days when RPGs were just about the only genre with rigid skill/item/weapon progression, and you could just hop in enjoy yourself as long as you like, and hop out. The only exception for me was Halo 2, but with that game the leveling was at least skill-based instead of just an addiction mechanism.

Postal 2 is still glitchy as all hell even after RWS released DLC and patches 12 years later. Honestly the glitchyness is part of Postal 2's charm, you can always expect some new weird thing to happen with the engine. That and crashes, you can always expect crashes. I'm hoping 4 brings all that crass charm and disregard for other's, but on a stable engine.

I recently started playing the original Command & Conquer again. I hadn't played it since the late '90s. I'm actually having a surprising amount of fun playing through the campaign. I don't enjoy playing games very often these days, but every once in a while a game hits the spot (usually older ones). Some of the controls are annoying though, like no map scrolling with arrows, no unit queuing, etc.

I have done the same with Red Alert 2 a few times. I even got someone who had never played it into the franchise by playing with them over GameRanger. You know a game is freaking fantastic when you can get somebody to play a game from 20 years ago for the very first time and fall in love with it. Not sure about the first, but I know with Red Alert 2 you can even hack up a few config files and get the game pretty properly formatted for modern widescreen resolutions.

Red Alert 2 is probably my favorite of the series mostly because my friends and I have played it the most; I also think the unit and structure progression and balance is at the sweet spot of complexity. I have a buddy who still comes over to play it over LAN every couple months. I have also been playing on Gameranger recently with a different friend, some RA2 but mostly CC: Generals, which I had only played once before recently.

Red Alert 2 is my favorite as well (of the ones I have tried), maybe partly because it was the first RTS I ever played. The balance and complexity do seem fantastic compared against literally everything else I have ever played though. Like Starcraft 2 is literally really freaking boring by comparison. And that soundtrack. You can literally just play the entire soundtrack and enjoy it. I still laugh about all of the ridiculous things I did, like sending massive waves of engineers to literally just capture an entire base and watch the enemy units destroy their own buildings, or use Yuri to mind control a school bus and fill it with conscripts to drive into a base in.

I could never get into Generals, always seemed too restrictive to me.

Ha. I sort of had the reverse of that happen in the campaign, at one of the most hilarious possible moments. In the cutscene where you're having a standoff with the army over that officer that was trying to help Rains Fall ... Arthur's gun was invisible, so I was basically pretending to hold a soldier at gunpoint ... with nothing. Seemed convincing enough to the army though. I think I got a video of it.

That surprises me. I played Half-Life through for the first time a few years ago, and I loved every minute of it. It is definitely an exceedingly linear game though, so maybe you've already played it through too many times? I still haven't even played 2. Part of me wonders if my subconscious is telling me not to because of how irritated people have become that Valve hasn't finished the story.

Sad to say I am kind of let down by DOOM Eternal. It's still a good game that clearly had a ton of work put into it, but it just does not feel like DOOM any longer. Both in terms of gameplay and tone, it has strayed too far from the original formula.

They can still make up for everything they got wrong in the next game, but that is years away and not very likely. The entire DNA of the franchise has been too warped in Eternal, and it's just going to wind up how Unreal and Quake did. ****.  :'(

Not only does it stutter during game play, but I get an average of 40 fps on all low settings. I really wish there was a constant frame setting, because it jumps leading to frame skips all the time.

It runs like **** and I don't really like the game, I'm super bummed out. Today I started over from the beginning and in 3.5 hours almost half the time was spent platforming like an idiot. It's not a bad game, but it is a terrible DOOM game.

Watching the whole game on youtube righ now.. because cash p00r

One plot point I think they should've thought through.

The doom-slayer goes throughout the game ACTIVATING Traps and Monsters ON PURPOSE ?

If his goal is the destruction of his enemies, Why do that ?  LOLOL...

I mean, as part of the game, Yea, that's what you do, but they should've added a simple explanation as to why he's doing it, because as is, it's like yea, he's good at killing, but he's an idiot. LOLOLOLOL..


Then there is the level design. Since it's more spread out, everything looks more boxy w/ standardized geometry. Alot of 30, 45, 90 degree triangles.

The texturing now looks a bit same-y throughout the game because of so much flat surface.


The platforming , now, gameplay is fine, but climbing in the First person perspective is identical to crawling, and it's visually undignified.

My R9 3900X + RX VEGA64 + 16GB RAM (using my Leopold FC660M) , system handles it at 3840x1080, Ultra Nightmare, runs at about 100fps as well. These are with their respective Doom Eternal optimized drivers.

Just finished watching the whole game on utube.

Looking at the complexity and size of the maps as a whole, it is more clear now why the level of polish isn't as consistent throughout the game.

They're simply too large to have been completed in the span of their release.  I think their claim this time around is 2x as large as doom(2016) maps, If they'd kept it to maybe 1.5x next time around, perhaps there'd be better work balance.

The game is mid-loaded,  there's more map polish in the middle levels vs the very beginning/ ending.


The baddies are pretty kewl and well done.

Platforming is, yea, i can see why this wouldn't be for everyone, there's reviewers on both sides of this.

Overall,  Tp4 would rate Doom eternal, a Solid 8/10, 

for reference

Doom (2016) is an 8.5/10 

Rage 2 (2019) , 3/10

I'm sure you have heard people complaining about the lack of ammo in the game, see it forces you into one specific combat loop not allowing for any variance in play style. Whereas the chainsaw was an 'oh ****' button in 2016, now it serves to bog down flow and force you to constantly switch weapons during a fight allowing for one and only one way to play this game. Max ammo for the shotgun is 16 rounds? Resource management and battle planning should not be in a DOOM game. Not to mention the art direction, platforming, low res textures, denuvo, corpses disappearing, the nonsense wedged-in story that builds off nothing and just makes **** up as it goes, extremely cheap enemies (hello Marauder,) the forced memes, and the general level design that gravitates towards large arena battles rather than intense corridor shooting.

Again, it's not a bad game per se, it's just not a DOOM game.

That's the most frustrating thing they had included for the game, I mean you start with only 16 shot gun bullets which can easily run out in a frantic fight. The heavy rifle (I think that's what it's called, the one that fires those micro missiles) has only 60 shots in it, same goes for the the plasma gun.....I know the game dev wanted to make it challenging, but such handicaps are a tad too much. I did upgrade my weapons, shotgun has 18 shots, the rifle has 90 shots, and the plasma gun has 175 shots, still not enough so I'd have to score more level challenge points (or whatever it's called) to upgrade my weapons even more.

I'm embarrassed to say I don't overclock my rigs much, but that's due to the fact my CPU's - 6C/12T i7 3960X @ 4.1GHz, 12C/24T @ 4.35Ghz at 1.2625v, chew through everything I've thrown at them with ease. Even 4C/8T CPU's are doing nicely with the game (althouogh more cores/threads is always preferred), so I believe 4C/8T vs 6C/12T of same gen would yield higher framerate for the latter.

Part of this might be because of the game legal Gun-loops utilized in 2016 like DKSMS, which give near instant kills on everything including fast kills on bosses.  So they may want to encourage gun-looping and such.

I don't even enter online passwords on systems that don't at least have Keyscrambler installed myself.

I thought the Cosmo Sport L110 was in the game since it was in 3, but apparently not. I'll have to live out that dream vicariously elsewhere.

I started good old Beneath a Steal Sky, point&click adventure game. Loved it back in a days on Amiga.

Finished it. Was good, but not Legend of Kyrandia or Zack McKracken good :)

Remake is in blue with red areas for when you're being chased. Original RE3 map is in green:

They were prolly thinking it'd be repetitive, because that's how older games were. So they went down on diff game modes instead.

Nobody I know in person will play it with me. We always play semi-cooperatively against ai, and they don't seem to like the fact that I usually take over 2/3rds of the world before they start branching out from their own continents at the end of the game. By then, my army and navy are spread across the world in multiple army/navy groups and just steamroll everything they encounter ... so I could see where that might be frustrating.

It isn't like I don't give them free cities though, or bribe people to declare war on their enemies for them, which is probably the single most entertaining thing about that game.

A lot. I’m mostly trying to find some gay video games (Bastard Bonds, Dream Daddy, Nekojishi, Coming on Top, some others I forgot). I also play some fanmade pokemon games, but I mever manage to finish them because most of them need so much grinding, and I’m just not patient and dedicated enough for it. Sometimes I also play Sims 3, Trove, and Minecraft.

A lot! I mostly play JRPGs and also collect them.

Some of my favorite games are the NieR, Persona, Yakuza, Pokémon, Zelda and Xenoblade games.
My absolute favorite games are NieR: Gestalt + Automata, Persona 4 Golden + 5.

Occasionally I play competetive games like League of Legends and Overwatch.
At the moment I finally be able to catch up on Lunar Silver Star Harmony on the PS Vita and recently got Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition for the Switch.

I started playing World of Warships again with friends since submarines were finally introduced.

Side note: am I the only one who can't stand open world exploration and crafting games? I see Satisfactory was released on Steam today. It has good reviews, and it looks cool, but it looks just like Rust, Ark, Minecraft, Space Engineers etc., all of which I found boring and pointless unless my friends and I were raiding someone.

I liked Rust. I'm not sure how much it has changed, but at the time, it was basically just exploring and finding cool loot and crafting materials, and building a base. The crafting made sense without being too convoluted/grindy. Minecraft I could take or leave, although it could be fun to just build things in creative mode. Ark, while pretty interesting, seemed too grindy to me. Space Engineers I think I only played once, for a few hours, and never again.

PlanetSide 2.

Free to play, massively multiplayer online tactical/strategic FPS with hundred person battles involving infantry/ground vehicles and air. Steep, punishing leaning curve for new players so it's not as accessible as something like Destiny. But it's great to play in a game where literally everything that moves is controlled by another human intelligence rather than some cannon-fodder AI.

I bought DOOM Eternal a couple days ago for half price (I never buy games on release day for this very reason). It's even better than DOOM 2016. The enemy encounters feel more natural because they don't require activating gore nests; although, they still occur in set locations. The music is still amazing, especially the battle music, but it does seem a little repetitive. 

Maybe this is just the old man in me, but I do think there's a little too much going on in terms of upgrades and tokens (not sure what to call them): There are crystals that give you a perk and also more ammo, armor, or health; tokens that give you new suit abilities (found in the levels), weapon modification kiosks (found in the levels), a tokens for upgrading the weapon upgrades (earned through combat, I think?). I think some can be either found or earned. Additionally, there are batteries around the levels that unlock areas in the hub world, leading to more tokens, etc. It's just a lot to keep track of, and it seems needlessly complicated for an FPS. Doom 2016 had a similar system, but I think there were only three types of tokens.

Another old man issue I'm having is how many buttons I have to remember - LCtrl/middle click: grenade, G: switch grenade type, F: switch weapon mod, E/mouse thumb: melee, R: Fire belch, Shift: air dash, C: chainsaw. I keep getting confused in heated combat about which key to press or accidentally hitting something in a panic. Also, lots of ways to switch weapons: Q, number row, mouse wheel. All of these are accompanied by icons on the HUD that I'm supposed to use to keep track of recharge times, which goes out the window during combat.

It's also funny that some of the levels basically look like Bowser's Castles with the fireballs and rotating fire ropes.

All that said, my only actual complaint is how linear the game feels. The level design does create some interesting arenas for combat, but I never feel lost the way I did in the old Doom games.

I have yet to try out the multiplayer. I'm one of the few people who actually enjoyed Doom 2016's multiplayer, so I'm hoping this is just an improvement on that.

Completely agree. DOOM Eternal has SO many mechanics going on. I recently beat it on Nightmare difficulty, and honestly the hardest part about the game is remembering to actually use all of the tools that have been provided. Most of the encounters were actually a lot easier when I was using my flame, ice, 'nades, etc. all at the same time. Most of my "panic" moments were when I was trying to stop and think for a moment about what "tool" I should use next.

"stop and think", of course, is hard to do in a game where if you ever stop moving, you are likely dead.

Oh, absolutely. 2016 was a little more forgiving though, since you didn't have 6 tools to think about while moving. The only concern was "which thing am I going to erase next, and what boom-boom am I going to use to do it?"  :))

I'm finding it's easier to keep track of things the longer I play. I did have to remap a couple of keys though. Switching weapon mods and switching grenade types being adjacent keys caused lots of problems. I've also accidentally hit the console key a few times trying to hit tab.

I'm playing on Nightmare difficulty as well, and I think it's just right. The pacing of difficulty is really astounding when I go back and play previous missions with upgrades, realizing how easy they are now. The devs and/or play testers did a good job. I played DOOM 2016 on Ultra-violence and found it a bit too easy. I got maybe halfway through it on Nightmare, having a hard time at the beginning.

I'm playing Destiny 2 right now. I fell out of it and now I hear that some of the game's going away permanently at the end of the summer. I still haven't beaten the story missions! I have to go in there and finish it before the new expansion comes out so I don't miss anything that I might regret later.

I tried to play Destiny 2 when it became free to play last summer, but I could not figure out how that game worked at all. I could never figure out where to go and frequently accidentally entered missions I'd already played and thus couldn't progress through the story missions.

Indeed. Taking the time to actually find all the secrets in D2016 DRASTICALLY helps with getting the "snowball" started, when playing on harder difficulties.

There is no excuse for the atrocious and tedious un-user-friendly UI and menu elements in Death Stranding.
It's just straight up embarrassing, I am embarrassed for Kojima Studios that's what they came up with.

This was a moment and perfect setting/game to really do something seamless and innovative with the UI. Really make it feel part of the experience, but they just straight up **** the bed and said '**** it.'

For what it's worth, the port is apparently done extremely well and looks gorgeous. I may check it out soon, I can generally get over bad UI if the rest is good.

Have Kojima games ever had a good UI? Even the HUD has usually been a horror show. He makes some incredible games, but I can't think of a time when the UI was particularly good, besides maybe MGS5? Which would be ironic since that seemed to be the worst MGS I have played in other regards (not that that even makes it a bad game).

Not at all. It's actually very ambitious. Not my cup of tea, but I can certainly respect what it's doing.

That being said the UI is just horrid. It was probably a conscious design decision, or that Kojima has a history of convoluted UIs and extraneous menus and submenus (see MGSV)

True. A bad menu doesn't inherently make a bad game. I just expected more from Kojima in 2020, but that's just obviously not a priority for him.
I'm super into systemic game design, I believe it's the ultimate form of video games conveying ideas to the user, and every time I had to access a menu in Death Stranding I was very aware that I was laboriously slogging through needlessly complicated submenus for no other purpose than to make me feel the tedious nature of that activity (barring the notion that streamlining the UI was considered.) That's just punishing the player for playing the game. Conceptually you can view the design decision as driving home the main character is very much doing a by-the-books job and dotting I's and T's, and if that's the intent then great, but I don't think it was.

I've recently picked Destiny 2 back up to get my level up and ready for the next expansion (only at 1027 right now).  I've also got my 5yr old son interested in it, as it's a good game to get him going on due to he can go on his little adventures (as long as I don't start a higher level instance near him, where he just gets backhanded by high level baddies).  I plan on working on getting his level up as well so he can get further enjoyment out of it as well.

It's fairly good. Bungie does not always do a good job of appeasing the hardcore crowd, though, so if you're someone who will spend hours on hours farming that perfect gear set, maybe look into it a little more before you decide whether or not it's for you. Otherwise great graphics, very pretty particles, satisfying gunplay. Overall I had a good time with it while I played.

I haven't played 2, since the first was just Halo (but not Halo ... for copyright reasons) in an MMO format. I liked The Division a lot more than the first Destiny, and even The Division was just a pointless grind that got boring to me within hours. I don't understand how games where the only draw is the carrot-on-a-stick goal setting still exist. It is just like real life, except you don't actually achieve anything tangible ... and it is about as fun too in spite of it. You work all day, come home, and work all night, instead of doing something fun.

It’s the one thing I’ve always felt that WoW has going for it as far as MMOs go. Being in a raiding guide has always felt like you’re actually achieving something. Sure, you feel like you’re bashing your head against a wall of progression sometimes, but at least you always get at least a small amount better every time.

I can't comment on WOW. I played for maybe 45 minutes, mostly just out of the enjoyment of being a zombie and eating corpses. Once that wore off, I was good. The only MMO I have actually enjoyed was SWTOR, and that's partly because of how un-MMO-like the story is. I imagine a lot of that was wishful thinking though ... for the sequel to KOTOR that never was, and a surrogate for Mass Effect.

I don't like that genre in general.

I played SWTOR for the same reason, a sliver of hope that it would have the same feeling as KOTOR. I felt like it half delivered; the class stories were varied and you could almost build relationships with your companions, etc. Sadly matching it to MMO elements made the time between these story moments too long. I still find it compelling enough to play for the story alone though.

When it comes to story, BioWare are better when whey don’t have to worry about there being more than one character making choices. I’m hoping that the next Dragon Age game won’t go the same way as MA:A, which I personally enjoyed just fine, but reviewed so poorly that it killed off any sequels. I loved Inquisition, so will keep my fingers crossed.

We must revolt for some reason. It's a fairly hamfisted metaphor for civil rights, though it's a bit different. You end up starting what I perceive to be a weird robot revolution. Not totally sure; not done with the story yet.

Yeah, as somebody that often likes to play the lawful good then the chaotic evil routes (KOTOR, Mass Effect, etc) it does feel a little rail-roady in that regard, though there's an absolute maze of choices and a bunch of endings, so if you want to do an entirely obedient play-through, go ahead - one character dying doesn't mean the play-through ends :)

I think it comes from playing KOTOR as the first game that had a real karma system like that. I liked playing fully Light Side Jedi and then playing a total bastard of a fallen to the Dark Side Sith, haha.

One of the things I quite liked about SWTOR was that you could do Good Jedi, Bad Jedi, Good Sith, Bad Sith, which had some interesting interaction changes. Not as much as KOTOR of course, where the game was built around having a light or a dark ending, but still, was fun. You could kinda do the same thing with the imperial spy, etc.

I am in total agreement. Andromeda was smeared for no justifiable reason. Everybody flipped out about janky facial expressions ... which Mass Effect has always had to a degree. It is pretty sad when a game gets blacklisted based on a few rough edges ... which were gone before long anyway. I still want a sequel, the story was good enough to warrant it.

I did the same thing in KOTOR, at least once each anyway. I'm pretty sure I played through that game 5 times in a row before finally taking a break from it and/or moving to another game. I did think that was a cool aspect of SWTOR, dark jedi, etc, though I never played one myself.

Quite so. I played it before the initial reviews came out, because I'd pre-ordered from the EA store, and I remember thinking that they were going completely overboard. It's not like Mass Effect was perfectly pure art on it's release, nor most games. It had everything in it that made a MA game; exploration, relationships, choices that matter, etc. but people failed to respond to it in the same way. Maybe people were just too hung up on Shepherd, I don't know, but I really wish it had been given it's best shot. It was a set up for a great new series of games in a different part of the universe, your crew were interesting and how it was canned just makes me feel jilted. Alas.

That they certainly do  :)) I have fond memories of being stuck on stuff from the original Luigi's Mansion or the older Zeldas.

"Fond memories", of course, only because I did overcome those challenges. Love that Nintendo is still delivering the way they are after all these years.

My previous statement is where my approval for Nintendo both begins and ends. I loved their games on the 64. The 64, for the time, had good specs, a ... usable (for the time) controller. Certainly better than having no stick at all, like the PS1 started out with. It had good third party developer support as well. I soured on them with the GC, and it only got worse from there. SSB: Melee is probably one of the best games I have ever played, Animal Crossing was great, but that console was a turd, the controller was even worse, there weren't enough third party titles. I saw Zelda on that platform and had to ask myself how much the franchise had actually improved since Ocarina of Time. There were better controllers, features, and more good games elsewhere. Our GC was soon relegated to a corner and has seen very little use since.

Then the overpriced gimmicks began. The Wii was literally a GC with an overclocked GPU in a white box with a gimmicky light gun ... which sold like hotcakes for way, way too much money. Third party development was abysmal, it supported only analogue outputs in 480p in a field filled with 1080p HDMI consoles. By that time, I had HD displays and knew how much literally physically nicer on the eyes it was to have 1080i or 1080p vs 480p, especially if you were connecting to a modern digital tv with an analogue Wii. (1080i is still beautiful on a CRT today).

The Wii U was basically the Wii ... with a tri core version of the same CPU they had been dredging along since the GC, and horrendous internal storage with a giant brick of a touchscreen controller ... thing, and a modest GPU upgrade.

Now, the Switch is literally a first generation Nvidia Shield with some gimmicky bluetooth controllers slapped on the sides.

The bang for your buck (and usability without infuriating gimmicks) started to slip in the early 2000s, third party development slid just about continuously downhill at the same time as well. I can't speak for the 1st party games anymore. I'm sure they're great ... but they don't look too different from the revolution that they were with the emergence of 3D in the 90s.

I know many still value handhelds/mobile gaming (as it would be called now), and I can't speak to that at all. I was tired of handhelds by the mid 2000s ... and traded in my GBA for the first true Battlefront game. I have no regrets.

I don't like Nintendo as a company (I did, long ago). I consider them to be the Apple corporation of gaming, though I imagine the first party titles are probably at least worth owning, which does give them a leg up over Apple in my eyes.

The only reason Nintendo has been successful and is still around is it's super strong first party IPs. Basically anything Miyamoto created, they won the employee lottery with that guy, he's built the company into what it is through consumer demand for his creative ideas.

I started Heroes of MIght and Magic III HD edition last night. Played till 3am... now I'm half-working from home ;)
It takes me back, to those days when I spent days and nights paying myself or with my friend in first and second part. I think I played HOMM2 the most.
Great game, I love that sound of riding horse around :D

My previous statement is where my approval for Nintendo both begins and ends. I loved their games on the 64. The 64, for the time, had good specs, a ... usable (for the time) controller. Certainly better than having no stick at all, like the PS1 started out with. It had good third party developer support as well. I soured on them with the GC, and it only got worse from there. SSB: Melee is probably one of the best games I have ever played, Animal Crossing was great, but that console was a turd, the controller was even worse, there weren't enough third party titles. I saw Zelda on that platform and had to ask myself how much the franchise had actually improved since Ocarina of Time. There were better controllers, features, and more good games elsewhere. Our GC was soon relegated to a corner and has seen very little use since.

Then the overpriced gimmicks began. The Wii was literally a GC with an overclocked GPU in a white box with a gimmicky light gun ... which sold like hotcakes for way, way too much money.

One of the switch's biggest wins has been the return of strong third party support. I certainly don't think the specs are good, sure, but that's what I have a PC for. Having that first-gen Tegra might be weak, but it also provides the switch with something a lot of consoles thus far haven't gotten - developers already being intimately familiar with the hardware.

Incredibly strong specs mean absolutely nothing if the platform is hard to develop for (almost solely why the PS3 flopped as hard as it did). Switch has gotten games so far that many people believed it would never be able to run. Doom 2016 and the new Wolfenstein games come to mind (With a Doom: Eternal port on the way).

I also was losing faith in Nintendo, thinking a new Zelda and Mario were all they had to offer, but I'll say this: Even though Breath of the Wild is easily the best Zelda game I've ever played, and Mario Oddysey was great, they have MASSIVELY stepped it up with third party support. Plenty of big games have come to the system (The Witcher 3, Id Software's games, The Outer Worlds, Rocket League, etc) The controllers are...interesting. Kinda gimmicky, but usable (although a non-Joycon is definitely a good idea for any serious play).

I definitely wasn't a big Wii fan, and the Wii U was unquestionably a disappointment. I was definitely in the same camp as you are, but if you travel at all (I do for work sometimes, usually about a month at a time) I would recommend looking into it a little more. Yes, it's weak, and Nintendo is still completely braindead when it comes to online/social features, but it's not terribly expensive and the amount of good games may surprise you.

That said, be careful with the eShop. The games on there are 80% shovelware  :p

I've recently moved back to playing Destiny 2 alot more again, and I forgot how much fun it can be.  CoD:MW gets boring over-time, especially if I finish a season's tasks w/in a few weeks and still have another month or so to go.  Also R6S has become broken in match to the point I don't find it enjoyable as much as I use to.  I mainly play shooters, but will occasionally play some adventure based game to take a break from my onslaught of shooters.

I heard as much about Breath of the Wild, though it is still sitting in a bag with my brother's Wii U on the floor of my room. He just came over and left it for me to play. Some day, maybe. I had heard about some title ports, is it anywhere near the number of titles available on other platforms though?

I don't like paying the Nintendo or Apple taxes. If I ever do get a Switch, it will be for a fraction of its retail price, as it should be. I didn't even get a Wii until my Gamestop Powerup Rewards points were expiring or something and there happened to be a smoking deal on a used Wii. I figured it could be a dedicated House of the Dead machine, since its only real novel use would be light gun games with an LCD display. I hope, mostly for the laughs, that somebody gets Nintendo's operating system running on a 1st generation shield. Then I couldn't help myself but get an old shield.

This is coming from somebody who doesn't really buy consoles at all anymore though. I got an XB1 with shipping damage for cheap soon after launch just to try to case mod it into an old 80s VCR ... since that's what they already look like. I never did finish that mod, so it is just a banged up inner metal shell with none of the touch buttons attached. The few times I used it, I would power it on with the controller and/or control its functions by shorting the right pin on the daughterboard on the front.

I basically never travel unless visiting my best friend, and for that I have a gaming laptop.

The general consensus is, we're suppose to play that between ages 12-24, then stop playing, get a job, raise children, finally die w/ cancer+heartdisease.

However, due to the inefficiencies of oligarchy, many are lost in the void.

I started The Ancient Gods - Part I DLC, and holy God, it's hard. I'm not even very far into it, and every encounter feels like hardest one yet, and I've read it only gets worse later in the game.

HARD disagree! Doom Eternal is the most fun I've had with a game in a while. If you liked Doom 2016, you will like Eternal even more. 2016 feels slow in comparison, and you can't just get infinite ammo with the Mobile Turret or Gauss Cannon's Siege Mode anymore. It's much more frantic and takes a bit of strategy.

On the other hand, the DLC was designed by a sadist.

Got Ghosts of Tsushima and returned it after just 1.5 hours. It is a beautiful game but there's nothing to do in it. There's this entire crafted world you can spend hours running around in doing absolutely nothing at all.

I genuinely don't understand why studios put all this time and effort into making a huge intricate world and then just make it grippingly boring with nothing to do. Just like GTA and RDR, same issue. Beautiful worlds with nothing to do. Such a waste.

This is why I tend to stay away from games that are billed as "open world" or "sandbox" or that have a "crafting" mechanic. The last time I found anything similar interesting was Fallout 3 (and for a bit 4), but, even in Fallout games, I can only go through so many buildings and desk drawers looking for items.

I can just spend hours waltzing around looking at things, climbing mountains, killing monsters, looking for stuff.... And I'm playing it in a wide screen wich makes it al the better.

The best game I've played though is Horizon Zero Dawn. That is just FU****** impresive. History, design, enviroment, character... Fighting those giant robots it's nuts. Let's see how the part 2 looks.

And I'll soon grab a copy of the Death Stranding too.

BotW is the primary reason why I want to get a switch, along with playing the Mario remakes and newest title - I was able to try it out at a friend's house which made me want it more.  Also I know my son would highly enjoy the Switch as the only Nintendo system he's had access to is the Wii (he loves the sword fighting in the Resort "game" - its funny having a 5yr old beat your butt at it and he rages when he doesn't win against the AI (but he's playing at Master level).

In my opinion it is. The story is nice and well though, Alloy is an amazing main character, the world is quite cool and diverse, the combat system... You need to enjoy the long range fights because your main weapon is an arch, specially for big machines, but you can fight close quarters too with grenades styles wheapons

It has the issues of mothern open world games though. Many pointless side quests, if you want to play in some degree of dificulty you have to farm (but there is "pure" history mode), it repeates many formulas like the skill trees, the towers in order to open the map, treasure hunting, some dungeon stuff...

But I totally recomend if you don't have issues with open worlds. I'm waiting to buy a 70" tv to play it again   ;D ;D

I've been keeping tabs in the price of the Swich and it's just ridonculus. They NEVER go down, not even second hand. People selling cracked consoles banned from Nintendo for more than a new one. IMO and just for what the hardware is, it's not worth the money unless it goes down. It has its niche, and it's people who travel frequently i'd say (i keep kids out because they can get bored of anything in 5). And the you have the prices of the games... let's not go there  :rolleyes:

Zelda is the only game i REAAAALLY wanted to play, so that's why I play it in PC. Many of the rest of the library you can find for PC too, so it doesn't make much sense for me anymore.

But you having a kid it's something you two could enjoy together and have good times with coop games and stuff

Do you guys know any games similar to Graveyard Keeper?
Like nice pixel graphics, some adventure, building etc.
Maybe even some cool economy/RTS? Settlers-style resource-management games?

I just finished Settlers 2 and looking for some nice little game.

Harvest Moon series, Factorio, Rimworld, Terreria

Have you played any of those? Which one did you like and why?

A lot of Terreria, probably like 300hrs. It's kinda like a 2D Minecraft but I lost interest when the people I played with went to another game.
Never played Factorio but people seem to like it, there's a free demo to check out.

and I suppose Stardew Valley is the Harvest Moon successor, it is a lot like GYK which is a lot like Harvest Moon. If you haven't played STV that is probably the closest and best bang for your buck.

I was going to say Stardew Valley too, it's a foraging game. Forager too. Anno 1800 it's a good management game too, Surviving Mars. Ni no Kuni is an inbetween management, adventure and role.

And I want to play Inmost, which is a pixel platformer and adventure game that looks nice.

I personally love playing PUBG, Fife, League of Legends, and most of all CSGO. I am a mega fan of nice sell skins CSGO (https://skincashier.com/), which I collect, unfortunately I don't have too many of them :D

Apart from that, I still play Minecraft and I'm really looking forward to Cyberpunk, it's a pity that they postponed the game premiere again :(

Yeah. We are all waiting for it. I'd rather have them pospone it for half a year instead of each month. Despite I'm one of those who waits a few months for the price to come down and som fixes to be rolled out

Started playing "Call of Cthulhu" last night - really impressed with the story and the elements in the game.  Also digging the H.P. Lovecraft universe it is based in and make me want to dive further into it.  I do love a good Horror/Mystery game that has good puzzle and problem solving elements to go along with the story.

Anyone here plays World of Tanks? That crap is hard to play. I like shoters and strategy games but that thing is almost imposible to play starting from 0 and without paying no gold. You have 0 skills on your crew, no premium consumables, no premium tanks, takes ages to train your crew and there isn't much to do agains people loading the gold all the time and just beeing able to pen you tank everywhere. IKN how to progress

I'll be sticking w/ my PS4 Pro for now until the dust settles on stocking issues and will eventually get a PS5 for Sony exclusives.  Other than that I mainly play via my PC since a majority of games are on it and the only other console I have considered is a Switch since my son has been showing interest in some of the titles on it and I want to play Breath of the Wild on it.

I played a little World of Tanks like 10 years ago. It's mildly interesting but like you say it's so grindy without spending money I fairly rapidly lost interest.

Been playing a ton of Dirt Rally 2.0. Gran Turismo Sports the only other modern racing game I've played recently and it's a fun contrast because it's a hell of a lot less forgiving. You make minor mistakes and end up in a tree that can be the end of the race for you. The faster cars are a bloody nightmare to control. Dark Souls of racing games is a lazy but not wholly inaccurate comparison.

Still playing FF7: Remake off and on. I'm so slow. I need to restart the bit where the disc support is being blown up because I've ran out of items and getting to the boss was pretty tedious the first time round.

Don't see the point in a PS5 yet the games are nearly entirely remakes/remasters. They really should have been able to deliver a couple of appealing new AAA exclusives at launch.

I totally love the comando-strategy games based in turns. The las that I played have been Mutant Year Zero which is quite cool. And befor that the Shadow tactics Blades of the Shogun, which is very the same asthetic as Desperado. Really cool games.

I just bought during Black Friday The Jedi Fallen orther and Death Stranding, plus I still have half Zelda BOTW to play. That together with World Of Tonks I have Christmas Holidays quite resolved.

This game is so good I put in 20+ hrs over the past few days and am starting totally over without feeling the slightest bit bad about it because I know my journey will be completely different.

Kenshi is an amazing game, it's the most open-ended RPG you will ever play in your life. Fully autistic. I cannot stop playing it.

Downloaded Redream the other day and a load of isos. Been playing a lot of Daytona 2001 (I love it, overly twitchy controls and all). Also playing through Bangai-O which is one of the funniest videogames ever made IMO. Looking forward to dabbling with Cosmic Smash, Wetrix and Mr. Driller which I've never got around to playing for some reason. MDK2, Crazy Taxi 1/2 and MSR also on the to do list. I had a quick play of GTA2 which is the only GTA I've never played and I must say, the controls seem bloody awful. I'll stick with it a little longer maybe I'll get used to it.

I just started Jedi Fallen Order and it's giving me mixed feelings. I like for games to be a challenge, so I usually play them in a hard difficulty. I gess I haven't played a game like that in a long time casuse I'm having a hell of a time with some low life creatures and enemies.
I don't like the fight mechanics, they are slow, poor and unresponsive. Nor do I like the checkpoint system, healing and the enemy respawn they have inmplemented.

But I love star wars, the game design is awesome, the worlds are gorgeous to look at (and I play at 1080p). You get to play with a light saber and use the force. I just completed the first dungeon and loved it.

I gess I have been playing too much of World of Tanks with Christmas Ops. The game style and mechanics are very different, so I gess I lost practice with the controls.

I finally beat The Ancient Gods - Part 1 expansion for Doom Eternal on nightmare difficulty. It took me almost two months to beat a three level expansion that some of the people on /r/Doom supposedly beat the day it was released (without losing a life).

I am having a hard time determining if I enjoyed it. It was so hard that I think I only beat it because, statistically, I had to beat it eventually if I played each section enough times. I'm not sure if I actually got better at the game or just didn't give up.

Now I have to beat the "master level" re-dos of the main campaign levels that were released a few days ago.

That's what I keep seeing on Youtube and Reddit. My brain can hardly deal with the speed of the enemies and my own movement, much less weapons combos wherein I only use each gun for less than a second. My main strategy was to stand at a distance and use the chain gun's mobile turret because of the high DPS, usually followed by the Plasma Rifle. But I do need to learn the fast combos to get better.

I haven't played Death Stranding, though I bought when I saw it discounted. If you like the weird stories of Kojima and don't mind seeing 'made by Kojima' like in every two screens that game is regarded one of the best of 2020. I haven't played it yet but for what I've seen the story and game mode is interesting at least.

Also, isn't Disco Elysium a comando style game like Desperado 3? If you enjoy the game style you will most likely enjoy that one too.

Yeah, I ended up buying it:)
I played first 4 hours and its ok, very nice graphics, which I always like, gameplay is ok, I need to get used to the walking routine I guess.
This is that kind of game where you need to get yourself immersed in the story, give it a time to uncover, which in this case takes time.

Disco Elysium is adventure/RPG game, not like Desperados:) It has millions of txt lines, one of the best stories you can get in games etc
For me, not being native english it sounds a bit overwhelming, so need to wait till they get all translations done.

Noice! Yes, the first half of the game is a walking simulator, but as you said it needs to unravel, the tempo of the game is slow. But in hindsight there are poop grenades (I believe to have seen it in a stream).

I didn't really enjoy any of the Metal Gear games and I don't like adventure open world stuff much but I loved Death Stranding. The story is a little all over the place but the performances from the actors are so good it really holds it together.

Getting from one place to another is generally the part that bores me in this kind of thing so the fact they built loads of fun mechanics into that made it really entertaining to me, as opposed to something like GTA5 where the driving is sort of effortless and there's no potential for something bad to happen.

Been playing Civ 6 and Hitman II

Got the Civ 6 dlc and frankly I really hate it. It adds natural disasters and government systems to the game which sounds cool and dynamic. In reality all they do is make the game much more difficult and only add more negatives to compete with. I can't find one positive they add except stationing govenors in cities, everything else tries to **** you royaly.

Hitman 2(2018) is amazing and I love this game and what the franchise has become. Instead of leaving behind their old games, they consistently update them to the next game's engine, adding content and detail to every area. So technically right now I am playing Hitman 1 in the Hitman 2 engine, and it's still great! If I had one single complaint about the series as it is without having played the new game (3) I'd say the AI can be a bit dumb at times. It could be a little more suspicious, a little more aware, a little more aggressive. But the ai makes up for intelligence with sheer crowd numbers and great level design.
Definitely looking forward to Hitman 3 when it comes to Steam in a friggin year (thanks Epic Game Store thugs, eat **** why don't ya!)

I finally got around to Papers, Please. I like it, but I haven't made it through all the days yet.

I also started Lucas Pope's other game Return of The Obra Dinn. It is also really good, but the gameplay is rather repetitive. The story, music, art style, and atmosphere are all top notch though. It's definitely an interesting change of pace.

Started playing Day of the Tentacle with my gf (kinda into point & click classics ngl)

also +1 for Disco Elysium, amazing game!

I played Day of the Tentacle in 1993:) Then again years after, amazing game.

Disco Elysium - all reviews say it is amazing game, I'm waiting for translation of it, prefer it in my native language, so I won't miss anything, but it is on my list.

Ahh man the good ol Lucas Arts days. Monkey Island, Full Throttel, Sam and Max, Grim Fandango. Those were some premium gaming years.

The game was just pixel hunting and then interacting with every single thing you saw because you didn't know if you were going to need it later to solve a puzzle you don't understand and accidentally bypassed.

I feel day of the tentacle was one of the more logical point an click games, with solutions to puzzles that actually make sense.

Honestly most other games are a lot worse in regards to brute force trying stuff because you have no clue imo

Currently working to finish up the quests in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne on PC, as I want to finish all of that game before Monster Hunter Rise releases 03/26 so I can jump into Rise with no worries about missing part of World / Iceborne. Also kinda getting into Yakuza 0, but I haven't touched it in a little while due to MHW being a better "pick up and play a bit" game around my job than Yakuza is for me. BPM: Bullets Per Minute just got an update recently though, and it's pretty damn fun. Great soundtrack and addicting gameplay for someone like myself who likes both rhythm games and shooters.

Still chipping away at BotW as well, as I only got my Switch last year off of my tax returns, as well as Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, because I'm a total masochist apparently and can't stop myself from playing games with long grind cycles that take ages to complete.

I'm slowly winding down my Path of Exile addiction. I hardly played at all this league. Maybe 30-40 hours.
The past week or so I've been going back through all of The Room series. They're sort of "escape room" type games but with an underlying Lovecraftian horror storyline.
But more than anything else I've been wasting time in Minecraft the past month or so.

I have been thinking of doing the same. Mafia 2 was particularly special to me because I was running the disk version from a hard drive on a 360 I JTAGed. lol. I never played the first one either. The remasters all came out literally as I was finally getting around to play through 3, and that game was great too.

In what ways do they make it more like GTA? When I first played Mafia 2, my thoughts were the reverse. I thought that GTA should be more like Mafia, since the cops weren't magical omniscient beings. Pursuits actually made some modicum of sense.

There were a few full-game overhauls but most seem to be gone now, maybe not compatible with the rerelease? Only one I found still up was Life In Empire Bay overhaul and that may not even work with the new M2 ver

I've started playing League of Legends a lot lately. I want to start participating in the championship, but I understand that my account is not that high.

Good luck with that rabbit hole. I used to play that game, but the mixture of the toxic player base, terrible matchmaking, the sheer amount of bugs that make the client and game both a barely functional mess, and the fact that I just wasn't having fun anymore, pushed me away from it. I uninstalled it about 4-5 months ago, probably more, and I've been legitimately happier since then than I was in the years of playing that game I have under my belt.

Also, to keep the thread on-topic, I've recently started Hollow Knight for the first time. Damn good game.

Ah, a game about as suited to active online play as trying to set up a virtual WH40K Apocalypse battle. Yeah, turn-based strategy is more fun to me than RTS, but it is bad if you want to do a quick game, specifically. That's why my turn based battles are usually in Fire Emblem or something similar, where it's single player!

I just finally started Hitman "2" because "3" was coming out. I think most of the hesitation was, and still is, that nothing I did in 2016 really carries over. I would have to spend dozens of hours again to get close to the unlocks I had in the first game. At least it carries over from "2"

"2" looks basically identical to 2016 to me, which is fine. They changed "3" that much?

Most of the complaints I've heard regarding Borderlands 3 are in regards to some of the writing, story, and behind the scenes stuff, so... Wouldn't be too much a deal breaker for me, if I were to get the game and play it. My main thing when I'm in a Borderlands mood is that I just want a good looter shooter at the core, and the writing is just a bonus that's never been the top of its class. Most of the fun of Borderlands to me is in the interactions you have with your friends playing co-op when you get into some of the situations in the games, not necessarily the actual writing or scenarios themselves.

Is that really all of the hubub about 3? The writing? Since when did Borderlands ever have a good plot? It was always about the jokes and gameplay. I don't remember anybody ever caring that Halo's plots suck. Very few shooters have good ones.

I hope that's not another Mass Effect Andromeda where a few reviewers picked apart the facial animations (which were never good in Mass Effect), starting a tidal wave of a hate train based literally only on that, ignoring all of the great things about the game. I played that game before any patches, and it was perfectly fine. Bioware fixed all of the "problems" and nobody cared anyway. I still wish they would make a sequel to continue the story. I want to know what happened to the rest of the Arks.

To be fair, there's a lot of other reasons people don't want to support Borderlands 3, primarily the forced exclusivity to Epic Games for a year and some of the ****ty stuff that happened at Gearbox behind the scenes. From what I hear, other than some of the character mechanics that not everyone enjoys, it seems like a solid game with below-average writing - in other words, a third Borderlands game. I may get it, I may not, either way most AAA games made now tend to at least be decent barring some fairly rare exceptions. They're too expensive to not at least be something ok.

Anyway, getting back on topic, I've been playing Outriders recently. It's definitely fun, and it's been years since I've experienced cover-based shooter gameplay done well, but honestly some of the bugs and glitches that can cause game-crashing problems kinda hurt the ability to play with friends, like it's built around. It's still fun, and my friends and I are certainly going to continue playing because it's a live service game launch. Those never go perfectly.

I am also going through Jedi Fallen Order, which I'm enjoying slowly, and Death Stranding on the backburner.

The question is though, would you bother playing through ME 3 again? I think it was worth playing one time, but it didn't have as many hilarious dialogue options as the previous two games, and the ending to the trilogy wasn't fantastic (or as bad as everybody made it out to be either though). Nothing about any of the 4 games bothered me as far as bugs/jank go.

But aren't they bundling all 3 ME games into the remastered stuff? The way I see it, if you can get all 3, remastered, as a package deal, it's definitely worth it. And while 3 wasn't the best, imo 2 was, it has still aged better than 1 and the Citadel DLC had some great moments in it and I can't wait to play an updated version. I think it's less of a "why would you bother?" and more of a "why wouldn't you?" considering it ties up the story, even if the ultimate ending leaves something to be desired, it still ends everything in a way that is ultimately not the worst. It could've been much worse, after all. Just look at Prototype 2.

I know I plan on snagging the ME Remastered pack, would love to run through it again as it's been a looong time since I played 1 & 2.

Hyped for the Guardian Games in Destiny 2 though - Titan's gonna win it again!!

I thought the plot of 2 defied belief. It turned Shepard into space Jesus. The only things that saved that game were some of the new characters, the hilarious conversations, and the complexity of the endings. For some reason, people really didn't like the combat in 1. I think it is the best game of the franchise overall. To each their own.

To be fair, ME was never super much about the overarching story to me. It was always about the characters, and their interactions. The Reapers, Cerberus, etc. were mainly there to provide enemies and something to drive the plot forward for more character developments and interactions. And yeah, the combat in 1 is better than a lot of people give it credit for nowadays, but of the 3 games it has aged the most poorly, in my opinion. That doesn't mean it's a bad game, just that it tried some things that I don't think most people are going to like going in expecting a modern third-person game with shooting and RPG elements, when it's a bit weirder and dated compared to that expectation in the current gaming industry.

Honestly, I think all 3 of the games are good, 2 is just my personal favorite. It felt like it had some of the best characters and interactions, to me, and that's always been the core of what I like in a narrative. I don't mind if your overarching story is kinda lackluster and not very original if the characters are compelling and interesting. You can have the most interesting plot idea in the world and stick a mediocre blank slate character in the protag seat and I won't get anywhere near as invested as an alright idea with characters that feel interesting, three dimensional, and have genuine thought and feeling behind them.

I think the first game had both the plot and characters though, though they maybe weren't as interesting/colorful as in the sequel. The way that they developed all of the mystery behind the Protheans and Reapers was fantastic. I think I'm in the minority in putting so much emphasis on the plot of a video game anyway. There are some games with horrendous plots that sell well if only a few other elements work.

ME 2 was undoubtedly a fantastic game. It just didn't meet my expectations. I like the whole franchise. I actually played the hell out of the multiplayer of ME 3. I tried with Andromeda but that community died in record time.

Well now I've gone from Destiny 2 and been sucked into Warframe, this should be interesting.

Warframe is very fun, and I love its movement and combat. I haven't played it in quite a while, though, because I was basically at the endgame stat-wise, and had hit a hard plateau of just grinding for mastery ranks using weapons I wasn't a huge fan of, having a nearly-unkillable Kuva Lich that I had accidentally made with Valkyr, and all of my friends who played the game just kinda dropping out of communication with me. If I had other people I could play the game with at my level, and seeing as how helping new players would be detrimental for them where I'm at with that Kuva Lich having taken over most of the starting planets, I would probably re-install it... Maybe I should look for a new playgroup for it? Just haven't found the motivation to.

Seriously though, Warframe is a great game. If you're just starting out, let me know if you want someone to give you a hand and I'll re-install it to play with you and speed along some of the worse early grind while avoiding the mission nodes where enemies spawned by my Kuva Lich may make a mission that's normally levels 1-5 suddenly have enemies that are tankier than a WH40K baneblade and level 100, with tons of damage, to boot.

Edit: Just realized that because I got a call at work between writing these two paragraphs it sounds like I'm saying that I shouldn't help new players, to suddenly being all for it. From the start I meant that I only should help with them on mission nodes not taken over by my Kuva Lich so they don't get one-shot by enemies they can't fight suddenly spawning in.

I started playing originally near the launch of the game on PS4 and would dabble with it on PC.  I felt like I should jump back in it since I was so drawn back to D2 this past year and have love that lore and game type so WF was the next viable/logical move to me.  So far I've been trying to learn the builds and missions, since they really don't seem to give you a ton of direction so I've just played missions on planets till I finish the planet and the transfer point (I know it's called something else just can't remember at this moment).  I want to get towards the endgame since that is where alot of the interesting things are (I know they are in D2 and I'm at full level cap on 3 builds in that - 1310+23) since I have grown to enjoy running dungeons and raids.

There's not much directly comparable to dungeons / raids, as the game relies a lot more heavily on the grinding and time investment (since every non-cosmetic item is possible to get without spending a dime, hell, you can even get the premium currency via trading to avoid paying a single cent on the game. Best monetization system out there imo, even if the premium currency is a bit on the expensive side.), but there are missions that go on practically infinitely (survival, defense, and excavations are the main infinite mission types, though there was a 4th one added I forgot the name of) as well as some of the open-world bosses that are a bit more similar to what you think of for a raid. But the big focus of the game at the moment, at least for the devs, is Railjack. I haven't dealt with it much, because I had only done the first mission or so of the story to get a Railjack when I kinda fell off of the game, but it looks fun af once I start getting back into it. Honestly, if you're looking for completion on the star chart, that's a good place to start for getting into the game. The Solar Junctions (the things you have to do in order to get to the next planet) kinda make you reach certain milestones before you can do them, so you can get to the next planet without having the issue of "I didn't do enough stuff so I can't damage the enemies in the new area," as well as further encouragement to go through the story. Which, in my opinion, is one of the better "live service" game storylines.

Playing One Piece Red World on PS3 and Bladed Fury on PC

Both are just OK, nothing new or innovative for either. I am disappointed in Bladed Fury having such linear and boring level design. It looks and feels like Mark Of The Ninja, but unlike Mark there are no options in the levels. In fact most of them have you running right, then running back through the same exact screens again to the left. No alternate paths, no creative ways to get past enemies, it is just very boring and utilitarian level design. If the combat were more interesting it could work, like Odin Sphere has linear left to right levels but the combat is complex enough it is interesting setting up each screen as an arena fight instead of a level screen. Bladed Fury just feels padded in that way. Otherwise the music and Chinese voice acting is actually great, they have some nice visual effects here and there like one scene you fight behind a paper curtain and see the shadows in battle. But ultimately it feels like a game made in Unity which I'm pretty sure it is, it just has that detatched feel as if the characters are placed on non3D assets. It is short and pretty, but don't expect anything innovative or engaging.
For $3.99 it's a great buy to waste an afternoon on though.

I like Starcraft 2, but I think it is too basic. For what it is worth, maybe as a result of that, what there is is very well fleshed out. It has a fantastic campaign (although I have still never finished it) compared to most of the genre, has some interesting power dynamics, and has some satisfying animations, but it is not one of my favorites in the genre.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 forever.  ;D

Oh, my sister would get into a passionate argument with you over the best C&C game! I'm not much of a RTS person myself, but I do know her personal favorites are Tiberium Wars and Red Alert 3. She is also big on Age of Empires 3 and Age of Mythology, her other 2 favorites. And for something sci-fi, she has wanted people to play some version of Sins of a Solar Empire with for ages,, though I still don't know if that one is more turn-based like Civ or if it's a RTS.

I think I only played Tiberium Wars on an Xbox 360 with a controller, so I can't really comment on that game on the correct platform. I don't remember much about it on console other than the controls were surprisingly good considering. Red Alert 3 was a great game, definitely one of my favorite RTS games (though not in the top 2). Never played Age of Empires 3 because the reviews weren't great at the time. I loved Age of Empires 2 very much. I have never played Age of Mythology, but I watched my uncle play it a bit. It seemed good. Sins of a Solar Empire I have played, but very little. I got stomped before I could really get off of the ground. If I remember right, it is sort of a grand strategy game ... but real time, which is pretty brutal.

That ties nicely into my other favorite RTS of all time, Star Wars: Empire at War, which sort of mixes grand strategy on a galactic level with RTS during space or ground combat. It is very similar in that regard to galactic conquest (which I believe it was called in that game as well) in the true Battlefront duo of games made by Pandemic (may they rest in peace).

I've been thinking of trying to get back into FFXIV, problem is all of the people I knew that I played it with I either don't really speak with or willingly don't associate with anymore for a variety of reasons. I was about to start on Heavensward content when I kinda stopped a little over a year ago now because I need people to at least hang out with to play that kind of game.

As for the other 3, I've tried Valorant but could never get it working for myself because every install would just not recognize the input of M2, I used to play League and quit because I just wasn't having fun anymore, and while I like the base mechanics of Apex (Titanfall 2 is my favorite shooter of all time for a reason) I'm not a fan of the battle royale gameplay loop. Feels just a bit too competitive to me. I'll stick with my Monster Hunter, Hollow Knight, Warframe, and DMC5 for now. Love me games where I don't have to feel like I'm competing just to have fun. Though Halo is great and I love casual games on the MCC.

Are there any particularly good newer RTS games?

Starcraft 2 was a little too simplistic for my liking and there doesn't seem to have been any major RTS releases since, unless you can count the Total War games.

I don't know much about RTS games, seeing as I'm not a big strategy person, but having to live with my sister in close quarters for over a year leads to some knowledge. Some of this may be a bit off, though, because my brain tends to lump RTS and turn-based strategy games together.

I know Tropico still sees regular releases, but that may be a bit more "city-builder?" I wouldn't know. But one game that I know went under the radar at its release, and has what is either a sequel or an expansion (I have no idea which, never played the thing, the name of the game is long enough that my sister always just shortens both to the same thing), is Sins of a Solar Empire and Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. Not super recent, but it is also on a gigantic scale so even one game of it can last you a while. I know that one's an RTS. There's also one that got released recently, that I gifted to her for Christmas, but we ended up returning it because it was too simplistic for her taste, but if you like dieselpunk settings, look into Iron Harvest. Other than that? I don't really know about any RTS that's either obscure or recent.

Kingdoms Of Amalur on PS3 and Twilight Princess on WiiU

Kingdoms is quite ambitious, and I get strong Fable vibes. It's weird people don't talk more about this huge crafted game with tons of lore and everything is voiced. A ton of time and money obviously went into it and no one seems to remember the franchise(is it a franchise with only one game?) Anyway it is surprisingly good, the combat is fun, there's a TON to explore.
Twilight Princess is surprisingly jankey and sloppily put together. The textures in the HD version look great, but that engine is... well you can tell it is old and doing things it's not meant to. The pacing is off, super slow in the beginning my god. I'm already frustrated not having the horse charm to call Epona, I've had to backtrack entire maps to return where I parked her just to hop some arbitrary fence multiple times. It has an odd feel, like another studio took a crack at a Zelda game. There's nothing distinctive about its art style like with other games in the franchise, the models are a bit bland. Admittedly I'm not too far and I have never played TP before, so my opinion may very well change over time.
Link's little stiff waddle run while he lets his long gorilla arms dangle like sausages in a butcher's window still makes me laugh though.

I just looked up GW2 to see if it's still active and it looks like it's very much so. I played quite a bit of Elder Scrolls Online, which I guess is a similar type of MMO. Anyone elsed played ESO?

Yeah, I know that No Man's Sky has gotten a lot of updates and improvements over the years since it launched, but I'm still just not interested in that game purely for the fact that the core gameplay loop doesn't interest me.

And I've considered trying Satisfactory, but I don't know if it has a multiplayer, and I really only enjoy sandbox games when I have other people to play with. That, and I've got enough games going on at the moment that getting yet another one that could easily be a huge time sink is a bad idea for me.

Though, I have a friend who loves Satisfactory, and he's said before that if someone wants 2D Satisfactory with elements of Starcraft, they should try Factorio, so if that sounds interesting to you give it a look.

Satisfactory DOES have multiplayer.  It is an early access game, and Coffee Stain Studios does indicate that multiplayer might be slightly more buggy than single player, but I've had 1 crash in 352 hours of playing (single player), so I'd say it's pretty stable as it is.  Patches are released regularly.

Honestly the only thing keeping me from getting into Osu! is the fact that like 90% of the music you can get maps for in that game are just not really my cup of tea anymore. Maybe years ago during my absolutely gigantic anime obsession phase, I would've been more into it, but now? I listen to too much metal, folk, and funk for Osu! to really appeal to my tastes outside of a small number of songs I may play for nostalgia more than anything.

As for Minecraft, eh, I'm not much for sandboxes unless I have people to play with, and I don't really have anyone top play that one with lol.

In other news, I am 100% planning on getting Necromunda: Hired Gun and no one can stop me, that game looks incredibly fun!

You don't have the be a hardcore weeb to get into osu! but I get what you are saying. There really should be more mappers making non-anime music.

I should've clarified, I wasn't saying that you need to be a weeb to get into the game, it's just that the music itself is more the stuff I would've been into back when I was in my big anime phase because I was more into j-pop and stuff like it then, which is the genre of like 90% of Osu! stuff iirc. I'm just more into punk, metal, grunge, folk, funk, jazz etc. now than that sort of music because it never really gripped me like the music I listen to now does.

And yeah, if there were more maps in that game for non-anime music that fit my tastes, I would definitely give it more of a shot! It does look like a fun and challenging rhythm game, but for me, it's hard to get into a rhythm game in which the music doesn't really appeal to my taste. And I am not in the mood for the kind of music Osu! tends to have often enough to justify getting it, at least in my eyes.

I am still playing Noita every day since I bought it, and the more I play the more I learn. Still seeing new things, and still discovering new ways to build wands.
What is so great about the game is it allows you to go exactly as deep as you want to go, and if you fancy yourself a knowledgeable pro Noita still manages to surprise you with even more depth. Comfortable at any level of play, which is an incredible feat of design.

100% my Game Of The Year, not even a close race with any other release in 2020/21

Marauders.
Picked it up in pre-testing but it just dropped on Steam finally, if y'all are a fan of tarkov-esque gunplay but don't feel like committing a second monitor to maps and spreadsheets I'd highly recommend checking it out, been having a ton of fun with it since I got it and it's only getting better with the devs being great at actually listening to player input.

Picked up Metro Exodus RTX edition to flex my new GPU, and it is stunning! I can't believe the difference in quality and frames between my old 970 and this new 2070S. I especially notice it in the lighting and shadows, that RTX really looks incredible under the different lighting types, no more super-black shadows.
What is really crazy is this GPU is about 200% more powerful, yet it still runs 2/3rds cooler!

Just picked up Day's Gone for a steal thanks to a platform I'm a member of ($21) so I should be loading that up to try it out since the end of Destiny's season has nothing really to do other than run Dungeons, GM's, & Raids ATM for my level.  Also plan to try out WZ 2.0/DMZ when I get home to see how I like it (still haven't shelled out for MW2.0 since I spent that money on Destiny 2's content next year).

Waiting for Next-Gen patch for Witcher, which is coming out 13 December.

Started playing WZ 2.0 - DMZ mode is awesome, but I do have some nit-picks on the inventory system and what you can save from your runs, far off from Cycle, Tarkov, Marauders but the gun play is above par and they need to get the servers up to spec and fix some crash/connection bugs.

Booted up New Vegas again recently, can't get over how fun it is to replay this game. I usually run more vanilla friendly mods but I've added in some combat enhancements (Viewmodel recoil, better sounds, animations, models, etc.) and I gotta say it's been keeping me sane during finals :D
Doing an NCR run this time. I've run independent Vegas and House a million times, Legion once or twice, but never really did NCR, and it's pretty fun so far. Still has the problem that the legion campaign that you end up pissing off a lot of people, but at least it's not pissing off literally everyone like in the legion run (Some people don't know the pain of only being able to buy and sell things at the gun runners and having every companion hate you...)

I personally like FPS games like Serious Sam and Painkiller series, as well as Strange Brigade, and something akin to, say, the Half Life series. Lately, there's been a drought of such games and I'm feeling it. I do appreciate some games like Dead Space, Cod series, Doom series, and have gotten The Calisto Protocol and will get CoD MW II as well, though I ain't playing The Calisto Protocol on my dinky laptop and squinting continuously at its 16" screen. 

But lately, I feel like my interest in games has waned somewhat. I've the parts for a nice upgrade for my main gaming system, and to build a 2nd all AMD gaming rig to boot. But, I feel like this is my last upgrade as I have other interests in life.....namely, food!

Cool. You mean food as eating it, or cooking? :)

I really liked this game, but after first 8 or so missions, I didn't know what to do. Supposed to build my base on that oil rig, hire people or something like that but couldn't find out how to do next mission, simply stuck.

Yeah, I do not like that part of the game. It took a bit of figuring out. The worst part is where there is a sickness that spreads through your crew and you have to start isolating them. I almost quit at that point. I think I am still at the part.

Been playing Cult Of The Lamb.

It's like they had a subpar crafting and town game, and a subpar overhead roguelite, and combined the 2 games into one good one. I don't think either side of the coin could stand on its own as a great experience, but together it works. Very cute game with some fun thematic designs like sacrifice, cannibalism, coprophilia.
I do think the pacing needs some serious work though. I never have enough, or can collect the needed resources fast enough to build any of the unlocked buildings further up the skill trees. Plus the followers are very needy, you go to dungeon for 1 round and come back to chaos or death every time in the mid-late game. Each day goes by too quickly, and that negates so much of the advanced unlockables because you are constantly struggling to keep up with the resources grind.

The game needs some rebalancing in terms of pacing, but has an enjoyable and addictive loop of caring for your followers and dungeoning. I don't know if it's worth the full asking price in it's current state, but if you can get it on sale it is a great way to kill a weekend.

Hunt the Wumpus FTW. Get yr game on like it's 1973.

Seriously. Try the free, no-ads version available for Android, it's really good and highly configurable. Totally stomps on the lame Apple Store / iPhone version.
