So hades on pc...….what a game.

So much replay value.

It's being described as an awesome rougelite and rougelike and I don't even know what that means anymore. You die and you come back to life with pockets full of loot? Isn't that just an arpg? Is it permadeath if you actually progress the game and character when dying?

But anyway, is it anything like Bastion? Because that was a cool game but it had exactly zero replay value.

Ah, I didn't know that existed. I'll have to check it out.

mw too, bought it ages ago, but too many elitist douche wipes for me. looks great and plays great too though.

At the moment i have completed the game 3 times and there is still a story to tell.
it requires completion to progress the story further.but its so addictive that it makes it worth it.totally.

same guys who made bastion which was a great game,but end game not comparable really.

goty for me

Its Serious Sam 4 time people, game runs beautifully at 1080p high. So far so good, weapon have more impact than SS3, movement is fluid. I missed 3 secrets from first level so they still put tons of secrets in the level like they always do

I seen the Steam notification earlier announcing the game available for purchase. Never got around to it. I was busy playing the Witcher 3.

set this urban meat grinder battle up for possible online play in the next day or so.. game is my favorite squad level military game.. Close Combat:Cross of Iron [2007] which is a reboot of Close Combat III: The Russian Front [1998].. i will play either but i only plat CC3 modded.. COI ill play vanilla but prefer mods. Mods are basically the same for each game.. ill also play cc5 but very rarely and only modded. These are full mods that changes everything.. so its like playing another game. It changes the entire front in alot of cases. Favorite mod for CC3/COI is Pacific or Western Front.. maybe Nam.

these battles can be way stressfull. I even plan to record it. Bandicam wont recognize the game but I finally set up OBS. My set-ups are the most unsual and exiting to play. Dumb luck is as much a factor as skill is. the more skill you have, the more you can mitigate the luck factor, but only so much imo. played my 1st game in a year last night vs the ai.. think i might practice a bit more tonight

I was scanning the GOG catalog of new releases and upcoming releases and saw that it has been released. I'm going to have to seriously consider it! Thanks for the reminder and the initial report.

You're welcome. The first two chapter is pretty easy to handle because it's in the city and only brown textures. Once it reach third chapter and introduces lush vegetation, framerate start to tank quite a bit but still playable.

I bought Mass Effect Andromida on a sale about 2 years ago but never got around to actually installing and playing it, for those that like a little Science Fiction and open world (galaxy) it's really good, for me it has to be in my top 5 of all time.

Xenblade Definitive edition, pretty alright so far, but also very blurry!

 

[Frick]

Moar Outer Worlds on the less powerful HD7850 (used to be a GTX760) and with lowered settings somehow the game looks better. It looked like a plastic blur before, now it looks normal. Have no idea why.

Might give that one a try, it looks interesting. I am looking for something a tiny bit similar to mass Effect as I am now on my 4th campaign and when this one finishes I will have exhausted everything,

I have many opinions on it, after not that many hours. But, I won't air them quite yet, as they might change. I'll do some spoiler tags.

So far it has been a shallow Fallout. Few conversations beyond quest stuff, the first area is way too small for the amount of stuff that's in it, and it feels like every skill has to do with combat - even the dialouge skills. They are useful in applicable contexts, but yeah combat. So far it has been an extremely "meh" game ... but for some reason I want to go on. I've had one major choice to make so far (story-wise) and that was pretty satisfying actually. I have one companion, and I could have had another bit he was a total douchenozzle so I just refused, which is good (they have done something right if a character is actively unlikable). The first companion has had little dialouge so far and it kinda miffed me but now I realize it might have been a good thing. I still hold on to my "a shallow Fallout" judgement, but that may turn out to be not a bad thing.

One upside is that the background music (in some places??) is very, very close to some music in Knights of the Old Republic 2. It may be cheating, but it is very nice.

Play'n Mafia the Definitive Edition. It's the best looking of the recent remasters so far. I can barely remember playing it the first time way back when. The missions so far has been quite varied.

The only bug i've run into so far. He slid out of the car on his butt and across the lot. It didn't affect the mission but i was talking to a ghost during the trip...

Did they keep the whole story and the missions, just giving it modern visuals?

From what i can remember about the story from back in the day. That's all they did was give it the remaster treatment to the visuals. That being said, this applies to the animations in that it helps when running, gunning, vaults over walls, and driving. For a remaster, it's the best so far because they had to touch everything except the story.

The redid all the voice acting and added cover system too.

Also mocap for facial animations in cutscenes.

I'm completely engrossed in Watch Dogs 2 and spend most of my time looking for air-vents to sneak through with the RC.

But then at the supermarket car park yesterday (real life), I spotted this air-vent and actually stopped to examine it

Does that ever happen to anyone else?
It'll be scissor lifts and fork-lift trucks next...

I never played it but I may pick up the remaster. I like period pieces and stories.

I forgot to mention the start up bug in Mafia. When i start the game, the screen will stay black until i go to desktop (windows key or ctrl alt del) and then go back to the game via the taskbar icon...no biggy.
Only two bugs in a Mafia game, miracles never cease...i probably just cursed myself with the rest of the game.

Now you done messed up. Was it worth it?

Vents are for crawling and lights are for extinguishing with water arrows.

Yeah Mafia 1 was a good game with great story mode. Back when it was originally released it was more true to life alternative to GTA III. Remaster is basically rebuilt Mafia 1 on Mafia 3 engine, however core of the game mechanics still date back to 2002. That means linear story with pretty much no side activities whatsoever (I remember taxi missions and picking up cars from various locations).
