Mad Max here. This game is absolute blow stuff up fun!!! Combat is fluid too, now that I got the hang of it.

Shihab · Oct 18, 2015

Final Fantasy XII (Vanilla) here.
The last "above decent" Final Fantasy imo.

Anyone finished all its hunts?

it's a bit heavy on the scrap collecting and it doesn't have a hook like Mordor's Nemesis system but the game seems competent

when I checked out Rebel Galaxy.. I kept imagining a war crier on my space ship playing the slide guitar lol

do you have a Steam press account?

Nope, I just get myself on as many important mailing lists as possible. Started off slow, but a lot of PR companies are starting to make review requests more streamline with tools like the Evolv Terminal. Once you're signed up somewhere everything trickles in.
Unfortunately I've not heard anything from bethsoft.

Skyrim with some mods... 4 yr old game with DX9...lol... only thing out there atm that actually interests me.... untill FO4 release!!

PainfulByte · Oct 19, 2015

Batman Arkham Origins.

4th start at this game, I very well may finish it this time around. The beginning always had me putting it aside after kicking Deathstroke's teeth in. Now I think I am nearing the end. Though there is no way I go through all Riddler's crap: I am not as OCD as I used to be... Having kids will do that to a gamer.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 19, 2015

"Riddler's crap," wait until after you beat the campaign. It shows you where they all are and you should have all the tools available to solve them all. I like to try to solve the ones I run in to as I play it but a lot of them can't be solved until later in the game. If it looks impossible, it might very well be at that time.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 19, 2015

Finished Grim Fandango. Glottis is awesome...

I'm thinking Homefront or Stacking next.

RejZoR · Oct 19, 2015

I want to play NFS Hot Pursuit 2010, but the activation nonsense crapped out and no one at EA wants to pick up my support case. Waiting for response like moron and nothing...

They should really remove this nonsense few years after game release. It serves no purpose other than to annoy people who purchased the game legally. Those with pirated game can play it without any issues or complications from stupid DRM.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 19, 2015

I'd just chat with them via Origin. Get a response one way or another relatively fast that way.

...and this is why GOG exists. Electronic Arts practically hands sales to CD Projekt on a golden platter. :roll:

At least you can kick his ass, I always get stuck in the combat: either he disappears forever, or I beat him and nothing happens. It's been at least a year since I stopped nagging about bugs on WB forum and it looks like this game will never be patched.

Skyrim took a hit ... i knew 229 mods (counting high res and SMIM) + ENB was a bit heavy (not only on the Alpha altho i got 60fps most of the time :laugh:

) time for a clean reinstall, i guess i know how will my day be ... playing with NMM (wait that's not a game ... oh well )

edit ...

ohhh yeah ... Homefront, i guess i settle for that one when the DL of all i need for Skyrim is done

re edit ... well the mountain in the north area are quite ... realistic, glad i have a good connection and setup so i can enjoy the game at max setting and under minimal ping/lag

FordGT90Concept · Oct 19, 2015

I went with stacking because I need something slow paced. Homefront is probably going to have to wait until after Tales from the Borderlands.

rtwjunkie · Oct 19, 2015

@GreiverBlade it's just a mod order thing, you are under the mod limit! You'll figure it out.

@FordGT90Concept isn't Homefront the one with the Korean invasion? You can play it in 4 hours. The campaign was criminally short. Hopefully it's successor next year is considerably longer.

I once needed help and they responded in like 2 minutes. Now I've opened and closed 3 cases and none of them got response. The last one was few minutes ago, I left it open for 2 freaking hours, I kid you not. And it was just "loading" there, waiting for someone at EA to respond. Aarrgh. Yeah, because of crap like this GOG is my first stop and then everything else.

uh!? i tried all i knew, LOOT, varying, order manually, checking guides, and a lot of others

nah sometime a good clean re install is a good mean to keep one busy ahah... (and i like that ... doc' do i have a issue? )

Yeah, you're right. I had to do that a couple months ago. I reinstalled Skyrim, and then added ten mods at a time, ordering them high middle or low, then starting game, followed by 10 more.

It got me my smoothest game ever, 234 mods (1under the limit, LOL), and no crashes.

I wish Skyrim was 64 bit, we wouldn't have a mod limit.

Gonna install and play Lula: The Sexy Empire again soon after all those years!

Pure nostalgia

Capitan Harlock · Oct 19, 2015

Started yesterday with a friend Dead Island and is very fun in coop XD.
Continuing Lost Planet 3 and is becoming very interesting .

yogurt_21 · Oct 19, 2015

so apparently when you have an epic grass mod installed hearthfire puts your building tools underground. I seriously had to put no clip on and go under a hill to find them. So I sadly had to disable my extremely awesome looking grass mod. On the bright side fps just doubled. It was awesome looking but really heavy on the load lol.

I dunno, never played it. I've had it since February of this year. :laugh:

I recall hearing that the campaign is awfully short, but I can't say personally. I started the game one time, but I really thought it was very "eh," too much so to continue on. So it sits...

That's not too bad of a time frame at all.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 19, 2015

I got through 11% of Stacking in like an hour so I'll probably have time to throw Homefront in there too if it is "criminally short."

It's still pretty good tho, don't get me wrong. I only bought it last year, which was almost 4 years after release. So, criminally, because it was a normal full priced game when released, in which no one played the multiplayer, and SP was 4 hours.

I enjoyed it enough to be looking forward to Homefront 2, which is supposed to have a considerably longer story in SP.
