Finished Metal gear Solid 5: Ground Zero.
Was it good? Yes. Did i like it ? Not really. Why did i play it? Cuz it was so beautifully optimized ! I finished it on max settings on native res for my monitor 1920x1080! It was incredible. And because with my very old CPU and graphics card i can play a game on max...i had to finish it.
If you miss a great pc steath game. Please go for this one. It has some very hard missions , forcing you to think out of the box.
More you can find here. http://www.gametrailers.com/reviews/joexic/metal-gear-solid-v--ground-zeroes-review

Currently playing ,when i get bored Gas Guzzlers Extreme. And it's fun! Much more fun then Metal Gear. MGS 5 wasn't fun at all. Challenging and very good looking
GG Extreme is repetitive,still good looking and just fun. Would be even more fun with some multiplayer. trying to find some on Tunngle at the moment.

Well, I quite like it now. It only took 16 or so major patches, and it's finally in a playable state, only a couple months before Attila comes out. It has progressed quite a bit since release.

I'm ready to pass the Total War banner to ot from what I used to consider the best TW game, and that was the original Rome.

I also quite like playing as the Odryssian Kingdom...they have alot of cool units, especially if you add the unit packs that are part of the Radious Mod.

I just finished 15 hours of Oil Rush, that I got off of you a couple weeks ago. I actually really enjoyed it. It's a combination of light-RTS and Tower-defence style of play. It can't be paused, so that makes it fairly challenging...sometimes downright hard! I very much recommend it!

Great, I read many articles about Odryssian Kingdom faction in TW: Rome II, but I don't play with them before. I'll try it, and check how it's good my playing style. Before the Rome: Total War released, I always wanted to play with Seleucid Empire, and I did. :D It's very cool faction. First of all, I built farms, because Mesopotamia very rich place for farms. In the real history Seleucid Empire used their farms advantage for their rivals. Rome: Total War always be best strategy game for me. After that, I played all Total War games and my thought never change. In this time, Total War: Rome II have very good graphics and more detailed management settings than Rome: Total War. I bought that game and playing still. It's cool. Since 2004, I never bored playing Total War games.

In Total War: Rome II, my favorite faction is Rome/Julii. Julii house position is very good in Rome as always. :D

It sounds like you have liked TW games for as long as I have. Definately give Oddrysians a try. It favors a much faster and aggressive gameplay, which I normally dont do.

Yes, I'm trying to play with Odrysian Kingdom. It's hard I guess, I'm trying to increase my economics strength.

The key is, for you to have a prayer, you have to use your meager strength, break your alliance with Tylis, and take their port, after you ally and get trade with Athens and Aedians (spelling?), on the Illyrian coast, and offer to declare war on Epirus with whoever is fighting them (probably Athens). At some point they will go to war with MAcedon, and you need to join in and be the first to the closest Macedonian city and take it. In the meantime, be prepared for the lead-producing nation just to your west, also in the Macedon region, just west of that big city, because they will likely attack you. Grab that as soon as you can so you have something to trade, and then trade with everyone you can while you sit back, do research, and build up your strength. It also helps to be allied with whoever the Aedians are allied with too (till you don't need them anymore. If you get enough fundage, and Dacia looks like it's losing against Boi and the Bastarnae, offer to form a Confederation, and they will jump on it. You'll double the size of your lands and form the Daco-Oddrysian Confederation. Downside is you'll be at war with whever they were at war with.

Some SimCity 4 and some BF4 though not that much because work is full on from New Years overflow even at two weeks in.

Planning to really get back into my racing games such as Assetto Corsa when my Fanatec setup arrives (hopefully sometime this week). :D

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze for Wii U. I was just testing the game and ended up playing for an hour and a half :oops:

Also downloaded Super Metroid from the VC. Got a discount because I transferred my Wii copy.

Kinda finished Assassin's Creed II. I just need to collect remaining feathers and glyphs, it's a hard but really cool task. Impressive game, nice graphics and awesome level design. Amazing atmosphere and sense of exploration. "Tomb" quests is the most amazing thing in this game.

ACII has its nuisances though. Just like in ACI in many cases when you want to climb a wall Ezio makes a wall jump. This is really annoying, I failed many "racing" missions because of this lame mechanics. What idiot could have designed that. To sprint or climb you have to hold 3 buttons!!! (W+right mouse click+space). What can be more stupid than that?

Some missions are really monotonous and repetitive (assassination missions). Stealth kill missions are pointless. I mean what's the point to stay hidden before assassination if everybody sees you after you killed your target anyway? Duh!

Sometimes AI acted really weird just like in all AC games, other than that this game is pretty solid and cool. It's not demanding, running smooth even on average machine, which is really impressive (ACI was more resource heavy lol).

Story is very interesting but then again just like in Bloodlines if you haven't played the first one it's harder to get your head around this.

If this game had better AI, better mechanics and less monotony it'd have been the most iconic game ever and I'd give it 5 stars but now it's 4.5/5

Now I need to play Brotherhood and Revelations to see what happened to Ezio.

Alternating between Oil Rush and FC4. I'm enjoying FC4, although it has started to get a bit repetitive. Best part is travelling by elephant. I like how even tigers give elephants a wide berth....that's the easy way to hunt tigers with a bow, lol. Plus their ability in a fight against the army is epic.

Even though I finished Oil Rush, it has about 20 maps for quick battles against the AI, and I'm finding the AI there even harder than it already was in campaign. The game is quite addicting.

I understand, what I have to do. I'll try it now. :)

Oh lordy, dat assss. It does look like her lumbar region would be in a bit of pain there though.

I'm amazed about how that type of game is available on Wii U.

That is how I'm looking at the extra hours haha. More money.

[QUOTE=That is how I'm looking at the extra hours haha. More money

I also do extra hours. But no extra money.

I remember giving Bayoneta a shot. Never liked it.
It's this over the top hack&slash button mashing kill everything on screen as fast as possible.
With huge gigantic asian / korena... whatever boss fights.
Bayoneta = your killing everything on screen with a almost naked ,very acrobatic, woman.
I'm more the Assassin Creed type. I need story depth. Emotions, incredible voice acting,a plot with twists and turns. Moments were one can perpetuate himself in the skin of the character.
Realistic fighting (realistic considering it's still a video game)

I purchased The Binding Of Isaac Rebirth as the original game had Isaac stuttering when he moved anywhere on my system. Rebirth is smooth as anything and I just cannot stop playing it, it's awesome :)

Is Issac capable of firing in more than the cardinal directions in Rebirth using a controller with joystick? In the original, he could only fire up, left, right, down but you could use momentum to make them travel at a slight angle. Always bothered me.

And yeah, I know what you're talking about with the stuttering. Rooms with a lot of enemies would slow down to a crawl and speed up as you killed them off. I'm glad they fixed that at least.

So far in the game he still only fires in the 4 directions (apart from a power up which allowed him to shoot out the back of his head) but I kinda like that. It certainly has you moving more strategically as opposed to Robotron 360 degree shooting annihilation. I have heard the soundtrack is not regarded as highly and that the move back to pixel art (McMillen's original vision) has annoyed some but I'm having an absolute riot.

If ever a game had that "just one more go" feel, it's this one. I royally suck though lol. I'm on a -25 streak at the moment but I'm still learning it, slowly....

Regarding the performance of the first game. I never had slowdown as such, just a constant tick like stutter when Isaac moved which was enough to piss me off, so I'm really glad they brought out Rebirth, though I feel it should be slightly cheaper.

The demon rooms can make or break you. Look up what they are before you take one.
