What are you playing?

Yeah Crysis needs a lot of stealthing on the highest difficulty, I played through Crysis 3 like that. Never Terminator or Rambo mode, always stealthing as much as possible. :cool:

While I never played Crysis 3 on difficulty higher than normal, but as in many games I always try to stealth, and Rambo my way only when cornered

Probably going to mop up some Starbound achivements next...
 
Many thanks to RTW for his excellent prize, "Valley". I wandered thru this morning a bit, sailing thru the air, passing out life to dying vegetation with wild abandon, and taking back with equal recklessness, attempting to clear small puddles of water lol. Apparently, water shorts out the suit, or the suit weighs too much, or it melts in water, or whatever. Touching water is death, for me and "The Valley". I've restored life to the first three trees for a quest, and getting ready to wander further, but had to get to work. The music is amazing, and wonderfully calming, and gliding thru the landscape is so peaceful :) Thanks @rtwjunkie

It is an AMZINGLY fun, grin-inducing game! I felt like a little kid. I felt like when I played my first video game. :D

The suit won't always sink into water...be prepared for even MOAR grins!
 
Fallout Shelter. Started up a new vault recently to see some of the new features. I haven't played since Fallout 4, so there were a few.

I didn't eat this week(joking), and i finally got money to buy a new game.
Since i don't wanna start a new thread just for this...here it goes:
Overwatch. Cuz i kinda "like" Paladins and i think Overwatch is the more Pro-like version. Afraid i might get overwhelmed by the competition in this game. Will be facing 7 year olds with 2000$ computers running at 200fps killing everything in a blink of an eye , streamers, or just very hipped gamers. Basically,nobody that plays on normal-easy diffculty like me. Sure many say,this game will the bomb for years to come and it will not die very easily . trying to convince myself that this is an "worth to buy" title. Have to mention Paladins...not a big fan of it. Especially when your team(with is random every game) is so bad and you are losing game after game for 1 hour!
Player Unknown battlegrounds. The new hype! I love to watch people on youtube playing it,that always make it into top 10. More so, it could make for a fun coop lan party with my friends,if i convince them to buy it to. Playing it alone might be extremely challenging. Yet another just multiplayer game,since i am a story mode fan-boy,and there is nothing out there, since i will NEVER buy ME Andromeda.
Total War: Warhammer. Have been going gaga ,over this for a long time. I love Total War games,and this is the most amazing so far ( i think). Unfortunately the most expensive on the list, and if you don't buy the dlc's with the extra classes, you might be looking at only half the game (very sad). But it does have story,and super gameplay, and multiplayer. But the multiplayer is think,not hat good looking at the reviews. And NO way i am paying for the dlc's....witch makes me wonder is it worth it ?
Witch game should i buy guys ?

I vote for Warhammer, even with the stick up the a$$ of "no dlc: half a game". It's Total War... hard to go wrong with that franchise.
 
80% progress in Far Cry 4. Just the main mission and secondary mission left. I'm definitely going to finish this tomorrow since I got the day off.

The fight against thi guy is seriously super annoying (read: difficult). It's been a while since Ubisoft delivered some difficult boss fight.
 
Finished Far Cry 4. Man, what a blast. They got almost everything right in this game: the connection to previous games (apparently), the hidden endings, the plot twist, etc. It's also nice to see this game featuring great soundtracks much like their older games (though Rayman Origins and Legends soundtracks are also sweet).

Starting from tomorrow, I'll finally get back to playing Grey Goo's campaign. Shouldn't put that off any longer, otherwise I'll lose interest. :p
 
I am enjoying GTA V even more with GTX 970. So much so i gave myself a pink mohican.

It looked great on high settings with HD 7970 but i can play on very high now......:D

Except the multiplayer,where they lied about the co-op campaign,part. And the decisions that you make that have no relevance,cuz i went with the girls side, but still decided to spare the guys life,and all i got was a 1 minute cutscene. And so much more.
All i'm saying is that for me it was a huge disappointment.... i just remembered. had to hunt so many animals to get the upgrades ,and none of them were where they supposed to be on the map.

Don't know much about this part because never watched the trailers and didn't really tried the multiplayer aspect

This is the case for a lot of games that have decision making. Sure, there might be some differences in the plot and there might be some games that did it better but I don't really see this as a con. In fact, I'm pro on this part because I'm guessing the point was never to let you actually have different endings, it's to actually understand and have a view of the decisions/perspectives/motives of these different leaders when you're stuck in the middle of it. There' also some post-ending DLC that I haven't got through yet, so I may have more things to add later.

For me, this was just the case with one animal, the bharal (goat like animal) during the very early stages of the game (like a quarter of the map). Every other animals is located very closely to the pictures on the map.
 
Back to Warframe, Mass Effect Andromeda, Watch Dogs 2, Need For Speed (2016) & StarCraft 2: Legacy Of The Void.

Edit: Highlight for playing LoTV of course was the popular Star Crafts mod by Carbot Animation. xDD

FYI, I played through the entire GTAV single player game on my R9 390 at 1920x1200 60 Hz with everything maxed out. Framerate only noticeably dipped about half a dozen times in 125 hours. The benchmark was one of those. The game can reasonably run at a lot higher settings than one would think it could. Granted, the 8 GiB of VRAM on my card may have helped significantly.


All the talk about Red Dead Redemption 2 made me want to play a Western so I picked up GUN for $5 on a Steam sale and have been having fun with it. Killing bears and wolves and outlaws and Indians. It's an old game from 2005 and the graphics aren't easy on the eyes but I don't care.
Excellent game but yeah, dated. It's the closest thing to the Red Dead series available on Windows. It still blows my mind that Rockstar hasn't ported them.


And similar to GUN, I'm playing Hard West. So far, I'm loving it. I didn't realize it had an overworld which nicely breaks up the turn-based combat.

How is Watchdogs 2? I saw it was free to play and I was all NOPE. I've really not heard anything about it.

I would also like to know. What I had heard was that is was open-world trying to be all GTA-like, and had forsaken the real story and goal that was present in the first.

It's not free to play. Haven't played it myself but a lot of people seem to enjoy it more than the first games (and I'm relaying thoughts on people who still enjoy the first one, despite its flaws). I've seen a couple videos and some threads that it still connects with the first game, just with a different characters and tone. Once it gets "cheap enough" (like less than 50% of what its currently priced at), I'll probably get it.
 
This is now,

I have many web pages open, i am streaming live TV and watching last weekends MotoGP ( again, cos it was ace )and GTA is running in the background

You gotta put a 6 core to good use :laugh:

Oh, must have been a free weekend or some other promotion. :confused:

Dude, you need more RAM.
 
I have now moved on to the Baldurs Gate:EE series. Almost done with the original, I am pretty addicted atm. Playing a dwarven Fighter/Cleric as my main.
