What are you playing?

completed Need For Speed (2016) for the 2nd time & still grinding for end-game gears in Blade & Soul (NA server)
 
Lots of Warframe recently.
 
Gosh, next week's review title is beautiful:

Ooo, what game is that? The art style reminds me of Wind Waker. Looks very interesting.

Stories: The Path of Destinies
 
Started back up in Alien Isolation, and I forgot how good this game is. It's fantastic!

And to make it even better... I had my friend help me to OC my monitor to 96hz so it is so fluid and smooth. The game is great, smooth, and it's so enjoyable :)
 
I finished Alien Isolation again, oh so good... :D played the whole game without the pipebomb because I missed it early on in Ch 5 while getting into medical. Still good though, 0


Tonight started up Bioshock Infinite for the first time ever. Game seems decent, quicker/easier to get into than the original, less figuring out I guess; it looks pretty thiugh, nice floating city. Hopefully the game is good. :)

There was another game I wanted to start but I couldn't remember what it was. I guess it'll come back to me and I'll start it after this game.

less figuring out? I guess the first game had you backtracking through Arcadia/Market but I hated that part of the game. Infinite is still a story driven game with a heavy narrative and Irrational put a lot of effort into making Elizabeth. the ending is great :)

the DLC Burial at Sea is worth playing too.

Still enjoy heavily mods Sims 3 (Sims 4 suck) / Cities Skylines (Simshitty 2013 suck) / Totalwar Attila. :)
Waiting for Totalwar Warhammer / Heart of Iron IV (look interesting).
 
The Skyrim train is running out of steam (level 68, all that's obviously left is the main campaign, the Dragonborn campaign, and the civil war). I suspect in a few days I'll call it finished and finally move on to Satellite Reign. After that, Watch_Dogs.


Edit: Holy crap I created demon in Skyrim!
-The Steed Stone (armor weighs nothing which means it's near silent when sneaking)
-full set of legendary deadric armor with two enchantments each; boots have muffle and several of them buff magic regen.
-character is well balanced with over 300 in magic, health, and stamina
-level 70 Illusion with Quiet Casting
-Deadric legendary dagger with like 5000 1 sec soul trap
-massive pile of soul gems of all types

Left hand has invisibility spell, right hand has dagger, muffle boots + steed stone means I can sprint while invisible and no one knows: crouch near target -> trapping stab -> loot -> reapply invisibility -> sprint to next target, rinse and repeat

They have no idea what hit them. A non-charged attack does 1,395 damage and that's not the maximum yet (got a long ways to go yet on one-handed).


Edit: Also, Fly Amanita + Dragon Tongue appears to be the most valuable, grown potion (fortify two-handed + resist fire). I was at 100 Alchemy, turned it legendary (dropping it to 15), and only used about 500 of each to get it back to level 100 in a few minutes. I have the garden at all three Hearthfire houses set to Dragon Tongue and two of the houses have a greenhouse filled with Fly Amanita. When I collect it all from all three houses, I end with more than 100 of each. Five times and I have more than enough to turn it legendary again.

The only problem is selling all of those potions. It's probably worth over 100,000 gold and silly merchants don't have more than 5000. :(


Edit: Oh! Hilarous story: I summoned Arvak and fast traveled to the college. Arvak apparently doesn't stay where horses are supposed to be because I was still on him on the bridge. I absentmindly pressed the right button and Arvak literally walked off the side of the bridge but didn't fall--his tail must have caught the bridge or something. I instantly knew I was in trouble and that falling was inevitable. A second or two later, we did fall but then it dawned on me: Arvak isn't invincible but he is expendable. So what did I do? Not far from hitting the bottom (and that's a REALLY far fall), I dismounted him, he died, and I only lost a sliver of health. :roll: I wish I recorded it. It was all spur of the moment from the going over the edge, to deciding on the plan that would save my life. XD


Edit: Wow, leveling Restoration is horrible...and painful...literally. I'm standing in lava and casting the Grand Healing. I paid my way to 90 and doing the last 10 here. It's taking forever and I died a few times already. :(

I've been enjoying Bioshock Infinite, too bad I didn't get into it sooner (that's usually the case for me though). Here's a sweet ss I snapped earlier

:laugh: :laugh: I'm so not hardcore enough for that game
 
Nothing, because I'm copying all of my games from a 3TB to 6 TB. :(

Edit: Windows is estimating 13 hours. :cry:

Sweet! I don't remember the screenshot location...give me a hint? I really, really like the game!! And I remember during development, I didn't buy because the whole premise seemed weird. I'm so glad I eventually did not listen to myself!
 
Pretty sure Steam screenshots (F12, use the Screenshot window to find them) work.
 
well ... spending some time being a paladin on wow...
also seeking all colletibles and dog tags on BF 4 campaing... also hidden weapons!
and of course being a bad ass terrorist on CS:GO

Regards,

I'm so confused....that's going to help me figure out where in the story manofthem took that screenshot?

That's probably the most addicting FPS. I don't know how many times I played through the whole thing, including Burial at the Sea 1 and 2, but here's an example:
I was trying to bench it on Linux and when I couldn't fight the built-in benchmark settings, I got bored and decided to take a short break and play a round or two of CitC. In a matter of 5 minutes I was already playing a main campaign and could not stop until I reached the Comstock manor!

Best game ever. Giving it 11/10 - game of the century award!

Oh, that's what you meant. It's the easter egg in the basement of Shanty Town's "Graveyard Shift Bar":

I thought you meant "screenshot location" literally, as in the drive path. XD

Wow....I've played through twice, and completely missed that both times. :ohwell:
 
I'm playing... LoTV.... yeh... (story mode though)

and that Dark Souls 3 gif was so funny thank you :D
 
I too am playing Dark Souls 3. I played DS2 but never defeated the end of game boss.

I currently can't even defeat the first mini boss which is basically part of the freaking tutorial. I'm 42 years old and I do not have the dexterity nor speed of mind to play this. What was I thinking?

I love and hate it. I have no idea if I will persevere or delete it from steam... can I even gift it after playing for a few days? Honestly. Everyone should be forced to try the game. It would stop wars.

It's so unfairly hard.

Why are there no cheats for it.....

Wow, I can't believe you knew exactly where it was! I just played through it and had to try to remember :laugh:

Anyway... yes, i agree with everyone that it's a great game :toast:
 
Guys, I need a TC: Splinter Cell Blacklist stealth buddy with a sense of humor. Gaming date plz.
 
TC? You mean Splintercell? Not a very funny game. :p

I maybe could but I don't know if it is even installed (can't check, copy 80% done) and I know I don't remember much about it.

Google knows all. :cool:

Also, I wouldn't call it great but I wouldn't call any of the Bioshock games great either. Not my cup of morning joe.

I'll make it funny, you just watch me fall through the map.
