What are you playing?

[Capitan Harlock]

I started to play with a friend Borderlands game of the year XD very cool .
Restarted to play Dark Souls with my ng+ char after a lot of time and im so rusty that i cant go past the last "bridge" inside sean fortress XD.
Continuing Deus Ex HR DC and other 2 games .

I just started playing Doom 3 again. I forgot how cool it was.

I think Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is buggier than Sleeping Dogs + all DLCs. Yeah, DE is better paced with the DLC and, in terms of content, it is better but, for example, when driving a boat, the boat engine sound cuts out and returns at random. I don't remember that happening in the original.

Playing The Witcher 3 and Replaying Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare started playing Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Started playing Satellite Reign for next week's review. Even recording my first 30 minutes, but broke the video and didn't realise until after uploading.

I thought I saw somewhere there is some cross-game sharing in Sleeping Dogs, such as clothing and characters with Hitman.

A number of games have done that...kind of like characters from one television show guest starring on another show as those characters.

Here you go...it's one of 575 DLC's you could buy before but are now included in the Definitive Edition. There's even a Sarif Industries Ballistic Armor: http://www.cinemablend.com/m/games/Sleeping-Dogs-DLC-Inspired-By-Hitman-Deus-Ex-49333.html

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Yeah, I'm wearing the Hitman outfit. It's the guy in front of me I didn't expect to run in to. What's worse, he's in the lobby of the apartment building Wei Shen lives in. He stands out like a sore thumb with his fancy suit in a dump of a neighborhood. Maybe it is Agent 48.

 

[rtwjunkie]

Yeah, alot of that stuff is available for NPC's as well. You're right though, he stands out like a sore thumb!

They really didn't fix any bugs in Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. The two DLCs, for example, still show the main story collectibles in all of the stats and map yet it fails to show the collectibles that are actually relevant to the DLCs. Oh well. It is still a good game. I got all of the achivements...again...because I got them before in the original game + all DLCs. I'm not complaining.

Triad Wars should be leaving beta soon but seeing how they haven't given a date yet, I suspect it isn't until next year.


Up next: Starpoint Gemini 2.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I haven't played Starpoint Gemini 2 for very long and I'm already quite sick of it. Disappointed, I am.


Edit: I'm up to a frigate in SG2 and I've already compiled a rather large list of bugs/problems/lacking features/so on:

-Select next object only works on objects in view.  Completely useless.
-Even at the lowest of levels, you can encounter battleships which you cannot destroy solo with a gunship.  Level does not take into consideration class of ship--only the level of the pilot.
-The game is principlly a grindfest and the grind is worse than Starpoint Gemini because the map does not indicate what difficulty each part is.  You're left guessing (also known as dying) what area of the world is relatively safe for you.  Having clearly defined sectors in Starpoint Gemini made it much easier to see the lay of the land.
-Enabling Power-To-Engines doesn't actually move the balance to Power-To-Engines.  You have to enable Power-To-Engines and, if you really want to move fast, move the balance to Power-To-Engines too.  It should automatically move both but that's wishful thinking.
-The game has crashed to the desktop twice.  In both cases, I lost data since the last time I landed.
-Saving does not save the progress of random missions that are underway.
-Using the Xbox 360 controller with this game is quite hopelessly because doing so kills mouse support.  It also uses button number to specify buttons and not the recognizable button.  It makes configuring and reconfiguring needlessly complicated.
-"Turret" and "Normal" views are quite stupid, in my opinion.  For example, a lot of enemies spawn right next to you and you're probably using Power-To-Engines so they immeidately end up behind you.  You select them by pressing "Z" but to tell what that ship is and whether or not you should engage it, you have to turn on "turret view" then click and drag with the mouse to slowly spin the perspective around to see the target and, finally, what the target is.  Needless to say, this is a common occurance and obnoxious to the point I don't even bother anymore.
-Progression is very slow and frustrating.
-I haven't found a way to make turrets automatically target only your selected target.  Encounter two ships, want to kill one, and capture the other?  Good luck with manual targetting and staying alive!
-If "free fire" mode is enabled, manual shooting is locked.  Want you shoot a derelict or something?  Too bad, you have to turn off "free fire" mode first then you can fireaway.  It should switch to manual when the player tries to fire manual.
-No quicksave/quickload.
-"Mute when Paused" option in Options -> Audio does nothing when clicked.  I mean it literally doesn't even check/uncheck the box.
-Can't target a station that is currently offering a job.
-It doesn't show where smuggler, ferry, nor taxi go until after you take the job.
-Ships that you sold as you docked aren't saved in the autosave.  The ship is lost forever.
-There is no sector map for seeing ships in your immediate area like the sector view in the X series.  You can literally only see ships when they're right in front of you.
-I can't name how many times I was sitting right next to a station I knew was there but couldn't find it without spinning in circles.

For a game that has been out two years, it's pretty freakin' atrocious. As far as I'm concerned, SG2 is a pretty major downgrade from SG. That list is still growing. I've played early access games that are more polished than this.

Looks like we're set for a review on the 22nd

Woohoo!! Looking forward to this!

 

[silentbogo]

Torturing my brain with TIS-100. Promised to myself not to spend any more money on games(at least not this year), so I sold all the garbage in my inventory and bought it to support the cause.

 

[Drone]

Pandora's Tower is extremely tough. Evidently Diablo, Tomb Raider, God of War and The Last Story inspired this kind of gameplay.

Places are so big that I have to revisit them over and over again and still feeling lost there.

Architecture, music and isolation make it really scary and thrilling.

This boss battle nearly made me break Wiimote. Definitely kickass boss, hehe. 7 bosses down 7 to go.

 

[RCoon]

@RCoon , did you ever get a preview of Rebel Galaxy? Am curious to get your thoughts...

Prayers answered, got a review code last night. Catch is it's the same time I got a review code for both Sword Coast Legends as well as Sublevel Zero! Busy few weeks ahead.

Preloading the SW Battlefront beta and is reminded of how annoying Origin is. The link in Origin takes me to the Origin homepage in the browser which then takes me back to the Origin application.
