Just when I learnt swimming ....

All Hell broke loose ...

Yurick and Mirania saved my soul so I got to main generator chamber

After that control switched from Zael to Lowell so I played as Lowell a bit before I got to turret chamber where controls switched back to Zael

Portal is open, time to go

And then there was the most dramatic moment ever ....

But it's not over yet ...
 
Finished Broken Age. I think it's the best point & click adventure game I ever played (not too long, not too short, not overly obvious, not overly frustrating, good story, good voice acting, good characters, etc.). I also recognized three of the voice actors/actresses without looking it up: Elijah Wood, Jennifer Hale, and Jack Black.

I dunno what I'm going to play next. I don't feel like anything in particular.

Edit: I think I'm going to rush thorugh Tesla Effect and see another of the endings.
 
Right now Im playing RYSE Son of Rome, thats quite a nice game, I like it:clap:
 
Alternating playing between Enemy Front and Soma. Tonight I will throw Blues and Bullets into the mix, and THAT title looks very intriguing.

Enemy Front is for me, fun, since it's a fresh take on the WW2 killing Nazis theme. I really don't understand why it got bashed so much.

Soma is for me, great fun! I love the sound in the game. Yes, this Frictional game has very good visuals, but it's the suspense created by he complex sounds that is the real star here. I'm playing without any markers as well, reasoning I'd play just as if it were me in there, for a good challenge.

@Ebo, I've only done about an hour of Ryse, and I need to get back to it eventually. It actually was ported well, control-wise, and the combat was fluid. It also displays very nice visuals!
 
GTA V for me guys ,enjoying it very much on my new system in specs :)
 
well ... that was good enough for me ...

so i got my Diana (well at last i don't have to use the Hashidate or Erie Tier I class cruiser for starter :D )
Clipboard01.jpg

a quick 1st battle ... didn't do too bad, missed a lot trying to find the right elevation and got mildly damaged (about 10-15% )
Clipboard02.jpg

kinda liking the gameplay and look ... not a bad implementation and interesting mechanics

annnddd i got tempted ... well at 11.80chf it's not a big deal and it will be a good training if i decide to unlock the Kongo battleship (tho i am more to go Destroyer tech tree than Battleship :laugh: )

The Ishizuchi! (one of the prototypes that leaded to the development of the Kongo)
Clipboard04.jpg Clipboard03.jpg Clipboard06.jpg
my 1st battle with it was rather hum ... shameful, half my fault a ally cruiser sided me when i had a target and took almost a full broadside volley, so i had friendly fire fine at the end of the fight ahah, the 2nd and 3rd battle were better sunk 1 ship in each and captured 2 point on 3 in a capture mission

about interesting mechanic, the main and secondary battery behavior (AA gun too) the main battery is fully controlled by the player while the AA and secondary only fire automatically when planes are near (AA) and when a ship is in range, close most of the time (secondary) and AA can be deactivated to avoid a early detection

I wanted to restore a car in Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 only to discover Steam doesn't back up the saves and I apparently forgot to back up the save prior to changing drives. Guess I'm going to have to replay it to get back up to where I was...

doing better and better ...

i tried the begginer ship got enough XP unlocked the Chikuma full upgrades => Umikaze => Tenryu unlocked, Hashidate and Chikuma : Elite status (5% per XP converted to free XP, usable for all unlock in additions of the normal ship XP)

Ishizuchi is pleasant to use.

i think i will go Kawachi Tier III Battleship ... i kinda want to unlock the Nagato (Tier VII)

ok i plaid guilty ... i am still a Kancolle fan ... and i've found a nice skin (need a rework on the middle part since it's a 0.3.0b on a 0.5.0.1 client)

Wanted to play Alien Breed, but the damn game keeps on crashing randomly and I an't figure out why. Installed Windows 10 now, hopefully it won't be crashing anymore under it.
 
I've finished main campaign in The Last Story (took me 37 hours) and decided to play Pandora's Tower.

3EUDPOo.jpg


Absolutely brilliant and beautiful game with lots of stealth/rpg/action/ elements tough bosses and puzzles. It kinda has The Last Story atmosphere but really different game. I really liked The Last Story, so once I complete Pandora's Tower I'll get back to it.
 
ok ... WoWs is ... awesome in the end :laugh: :roll: ... mod friendly only game? deal! sound UI skin ... all modifiable

custom sight for the zoomed view, Check!
shot-15.09.29_19.11.57-0928.jpg

Kongo battleship Kancolle skin ... well, Check! (ok the Battlecruiser on the skin make it a bit ... weird but the Kongo in Kancolle is a BC and not a BS )
for those who don't like anime or manga, well do not click on the thumbnail ahah :laugh: also notice the water (transparency trail, foam effect ... all setting to the max and unlike most of the other player i get 70+ fps and a low ping instead of 15-25ish fps in med settings) i find the graphic to be quite decent (or more than decent)

the fire effect is nice

also loading screen is customization friendly too just as the login screen intro video and bgm, my current loading is IJN Yamato and the login BGM : Rammstein "Feuer FREI!" ... quite fitting ahah

yep you guessed it ... a game that originally sparked no interest to me other than the name and legend it feature, is rapidly becoming an addiction :laugh:

well because it was the last post about what i am playing atm will not post on WoWs further, no worries ahah!

(otherwise i know some other who would need to do some thread/clubhouse about the game they've shown in multiple post here, about :laugh: )

Heheh, is it me? Lol can't help myself. Japanese rpgs are totally cool, couldn't get The Last Story out of my mind for weeks. Plus, it's more fun to add some screens.
Oneliners like "I'm playing blah" are boring, videos are unnecessary. Screenshots are just right. I don't really care about "blah club" threads

not only you ;) no worries :p

also ... playing atm : DEADPOOL! what a superhero miss the most? A FREAKING SARCASTIC 2nd DEGREE SENSE OF HUMOR!
(no screens now ... i will be a Oneliner this time .... :laugh: )
 
Finished Enemy Front. I don't care about critics. It was FUN to play!! Basically, it was not the standard WW2 game, and I think that's why I like it.

It was made by the same studio that did the Sniper: Ghost Warrior games, and the sniping mechanics shows! For me the sniping was the best part. What's not to like? :D

Speaking of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 (which I am currently playing), this isn't going to end well! :laugh:

I finished up Car Mechanic Simulator 2015. This time, I ended up with $250,000 in the bank instead of $125,000 by the time I got 13,000 XP. Not really sure why...

For the last several hours, I did the 3/4 events for the second championship in DIRT Rally. This game is ridiculously hard compared to the previous DIRT games. I'm happy if I get third where in the previous games, first every time was pretty easy. I'm off to bed. When I wake up, I intend to finish the last event (takes place in Greece) then I'm either going to start Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition (if I feel like something old) or Starpoint Gemini 2 (if I feel like something new). Either will keep me busy for days.

Yay, I can get back to playing Alien Breed trilogy. I think I've figured out how to solve random game crashing :)

Fix Alien Breed random game crashing
https://rejzor.wordpress.com/2015/09/30/fix-alien-breed-random-game-crashing/

The game is pretty darn cool. Didn't know it's running Unreal Engine 3.0. Just enabled FXAA in NVCP and it's looking really good for such an older game. I love the tiny RPG elements with upgrade terminals which kind of remind me of System Shock 2 with its ValueRep vending machines :) Just with top down perspective.

I wonder what other games play like this, I seem to like this kind of games quite a bit. I know Alien Swarm exists which is still on my to-do list. I've played Alien Shooter and Zombie Shooter. A bit worse graphics in 2D, but they were still awesome carnage gameplay wise.

Hardlands is worth a look. Comes out of Early Access Soon(TM). Singleplayer only, but I might buy it and have a play.

Over the top shooter where the perspective is locked to the character (most recommended to least)?
-Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds Survivor
-Space Siege mayhaps? It's a nine hour game but has multiple endings.
-I put 27 hours into Greed: Black Border.
-This game is shallow (literally no story--just kill, kill, kill) but it is worth mentioning anyway: It came from space, and ate our brains.

Not exactly the same thing because it's a car instead of a human but Zombie Driver HD is a lot of fun with an over the top perspective.

I don't like the cartoony/simple models and the game looks shallow. First impressions aren't good. :x

I actually own all of them in my Steam library (I just forget what they are based on name alone) :D I guess this part of the year will be dominated by the top down shooters :D
 
I finished the DIRT Rally event and I'm getting the very strong impression that car tuning is HUGELY important. Case in point: On gravel events, I went from the default gearbox setup getting about +10 seconds off of first to "advanced" set up gearbox with a shorter final ratio and better spacing for 1st-5th. My time dropped to almost equal to first place or +4 seconds at most. I'm convinced the only way to get first in every stage is to perfect tuning to the aggregate of two stages (can only tune and repair every two stages) and then restart every stage if you make any mistakes.

So apparently DIRT Rally hasn't sated my desire to drive which means Sleeping Dogs wins out over Starpoint Gemini 2. I'll play SG2 after SD.
 
I'm into SOMA now, pretty great game. I'll even share some screenies to prove it :p
