What are you playing?

[EzioAs]

Yeah, Panchea was on rails. So is Tai Yong Medical and Picus Communications. There was supposed to be an upper Hengsha between lower Hensha and Tai Yong Medical but it got cut. That's why you go straight from lower Hensha directly into Tai Yong Medical.

Blood Dragon is better than Far Cry 3.

Can't seem to argue with that. Tried it a little bit this morning before going to work. I couldn't stop smiling like an idiot from the moment the game launches till the helicopter scene.

Yeah, the 80s references don't stop coming. It's awesome.

Finishing up Fire Emblem: Awakening, darn last battle actually kicking my butt.

Not much gaming atm, three classes eating up my time with the homework that has to get done. Though, trying to power through it all. Got my hands on Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8 for Wii U, and really want to get some time to play them.

I set Skyrim aside to play Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown. I like it but it lacks the soul of the Harebrained Schemes Shadowrun titles. At this point, I'm not convinced I want to plop down $17 on DLC for it. I'm hoping I can finish the main campaign by April 4 so I can at least grab the Deluxe edition at 50% off. It's just really hard for me to spend anything on games right now because the backlog (Satellite Reign, Watch_Dogs, Starpoint Gemini 2: Titans, Grey Goo, Dreamfall Chapters, etc.) is pretty long again.

played 4 hours of the Doom 4 Beta but didn't like it.

passed 1000 wins in Rocket League on my Steam account because Rocket League all day, everyday

and Clash Royale on my tablet which I may like more than Hearthstone. does anybody play this?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I decided I'm not buying the DLCs for Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown for many reasons:
-Can't disable the multiplayer features. Namely, I keep clicking on the chat even though I want nothing to do with the chat.
-Can't overwatch/guard your characters. I thought this was the 21st century?
-Can't save/load. Granted, each map is pretty small but you have to roll with the punches. If things go sideways, you might as well "leave mission" and start over from the area start.
-I had money, I needed a better weapon, but none were available. For quite a while, the hired runners had better arms and armor than me. It's frustrating being the weakest link and there's nothing you can do about it until the story advances to a point it unlocks more store content.
-Continuation of above: no options to adjust difficulty. There are some missions that appear to be unbalanced (like this one where I was attacked on two fronts and they were coming faster than I could kill them; finally completed it on my third or fourth attempted).
-Unlike Harebrained Schemes titles, there's really only one mission I've seen that you can get through without fighting. Ehm, dialogs are linear and the story doesn't appear to branch at all.
-There's some character development but it is shallow compared to the HBS versions.

It's not a bad game and it would probably be a lot more fun playing the co-op (and it all appears to be co-op) with friends. Doing it solo, and the fact I'm a cheapskate, I just can't justify expanding the experience right now. I'll probably add it to a wishlist so buy the DLCs sometime in the future.

Spent most of the last week playing Rome: Total War. It's my heavily modded version, running thru the Alexander executable, including my own events script. In that state, it's astounding just how well it plays and looks today, 11 years later!

I'm going between Just Cause 3 and Hitman. I'm a Hitman fan but I'm liking Just Cause way more. Thanks to my Gigabyte 980ti G1 andG-Sync monitor I'm seeing 63-92 fps on both with DSR 1440p setting.

Not gonna lie I thought Outlast was pretty awful and not scary at all.

Agree, more jump fest scares (which after like the fourth and fifth time get bland). Does not come where no where near Amnesia series or Penumbra series. Still need to get SOMA and play that one.

[Jaffakeik]

Was playing Therian Saga browser game for couple days but it got boring, now started to play Fallout 4 it was dusting from day 1 I bought it, hopefully it will be engaging and will finish it in couple days. Plans for future playing are Witcher 3(dusting from day 1). Not gonna buy games day one anymore.

 

[Phentos]

FFXII on PCSX2, and the Division.

considering that was their zenith I'd hope it ages well. Still find myself playing it more often than Rome 2.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I finished "Chapter 1" (effectively the main campaign) in Boston Lockdown. I suspect Satellite Reign is quite similar to Boston Lockdown so I think I will play some more Skyrim or start Watch_Dogs before diving into Satellite Reign. I need an intermission.

Rocket League...I do feel bad I am not putting my new skylake build to use that I just built a few weeks ago ..need to find a new game to play.

Don't feel bad. I mostly play Minecraft and Cities Skylines on my rig on a 1080P monitor. Two 980Tis be over kill for that. Then again, I only use one for gaming, the other folds 24/7 none stop.

Finally getting a 1440P monitor to replace my current monitor I use for gaming.

lots of people play Rocket League everyday. there is an official thread

I think BF3 and BF4 are the only games in the last 5 years that ever came close to taxing my rig. the amount of indie games I play on a weekly basis is ridiculous. do you think I need a $500 graphics card to run Stardew Valley?

I'm still trying to trudge through Shadow Warrior. It is such a pain at this point, I'm on Chapter 16 I think and I HAVE to finish it. But I wish I had never started playing, not worth it. So fucking monotonous.

Extremely boring game. Waves of the same damn monsters every ****ing time, unfunny jokes, lame weapons. Even Serious Sam 3 was better than this.





Just finished Republique Episode V and Tales of Symphonia

I'm speechless ...

Definitely the best games I've played.

 

[dcf-joe]

Still playing Battlefield 4 multiplayer. I play a 24/7 Metro server when I do play lol.

Trying to get into Counter Strike Global Offensive after watching MLG Columbus made me feel like I could replicate that, but.......

Are we talking original or 2013?

@Drone I can't wait to get started on Republique! I waited for nearly forever, for what I was certain would never happen (the release of chapters 4 and 5), and then suddenly they released both within 3 months of each other.

Haha I know what you mean, but it was worth it. Amazing game, interesting story, and great voice actors of all time David Hayter and Jennifer Hale.

Lol sometimes they (David Hayter and Jennifer Hale) acted like they were Solid Snake and Samus Aran but I can't blame them for that

Yup! Im hoping to do another playthru in VR in the not too distant future XD

Ive been really trying to actually finish some stuff recently, to tackle the silly backlog. Finished Shadow of Mordor last week (bought at launch! ><) Made some progression in Sleeping Dogs. Finished Wash_dogs(tm) DLC (blood something?) recently...

Otherwise, bouncing between, Helldivers, Stardew valley, and ARK.
