What are you playing?

[Cvrk]

I thought this looked interesting! So you would really recommend it?

It's a love story. Will not say more.
And you have to run from point to point for cover in terms of gameplay. There are a few puzzles.
I liked the atmosphere,the voice acting ,the sensation that i was getting closer to finding out more.

what can i say .... i see sweet deals on humble/STEAM/Origin etc etc etc .... i jump on it ... compulsive buyer? me? naaahhhhh ... if i had a CBD i would know it ... i just happen to get what pick my interest ...

ACE COMBAT: Assault Horizon Extended Edition 4.99$ on humble? .... that's what i call a neat deal ...

opening in a F22 Raptor ... not bad ...

UH-60 Black hawk and AH-64D Apache Longbow? now we're talking! ooohhh i'm behind a M134 sweet ... ok only a Railshooter section ... tho i liked it ...

the planes selection is neat (ok ... i got sold to it because of the Idol M@ster DLC include bahahah ... Tekken skin are not bad either )


sooo steam decided to recommend me a early access game (well no that much since full release was 29.05.2017) ... WWII based on the China-Burma-India Campaign? DEAL! (was 12chf instead of 15 but even at 15 it's a sweet one)


since my Speedlink Airrow (VKB Gladiator clone) looks like a WWII flightstick ... pretty fitting

i'd never thought i would notice that ...
a ME 262 flight stick ...

my Airrow...



want to fly legends? aye i do ... A6M2 Reisen, P-40E Warhawk, P-38L Lightning and Nakajima Ki-201 Karyū (japanese ME 262 Schwalbe, altho Fictional since the real one was the Nakajima J9Y Kikka, the Karyū was never completed, nonetheless the J9Y did also never reach out of prototype staging. ) are some of my all time favorites

good grief only the Ki 201 reach above 1000km/h flat not even the Mizuno Shinryū II or the P-80 Shooting Star reach that domain (which is kinda a little aberration since the ME 262 was supposed to go around 900km/h and the P-80 around 965km/h oh well ... japanese engineering magic ... )

garphically speaking the game is not bad at all and handle quite well, flight setting can be configured as you like, from Arcade for worry-less fun with a Xbox One pad fully supported to more advanced flight control (i have yet to test my Airrow with it tho ) and the OST is good too...

Vanquish ... well that was a "coup de coeur" on X360 ... it remained true to himself even today ...


oh i remember Ivanova ...


the intro cinematic is still quite epic and the graphic did age well (improvement done are good enough for 15chf )

Edit for the laugh... removing 2 pics to add a surprise that .... surprised me

I had a go at Forza Horizon 3 demo last night.

It looks gorgeous but is very disappointing as a driving experience. I wont be buying the full copy.

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

Currently playing: Mass Effect Andromeda, Warframe & Far Cry 4. Might head back playing visual novels since NEKOPARA Vol.3 is out. Also, gonna find the infamous R18 NFSW patch for it. Hehehehe~

Just finished a nice little game called Gemini: Heroes Reborn that came out last year. $14.99 gets you 6 hours of pretty fun playtime, and is way better than the hokey television show Heroes.

For those that played Dishonored 2:

Spoiler

and know the brilliant mansion level in which you can go back and forth in time, and even look into the other time period to see what is there before you transfer, well this game did it first. In fact, you spend the entire game doing that, enabling you to bypass ruins, locked doors, and guards, depending on what you need to use to make your way through the facility, just like in Dishonored 2.

Looks like all that practice from the PS3 version carried over to the PC version.

I've got to ask, for what game is that?

 

[MagnyCours]

It's the PC version of Vanquish.

drat, that was faster

Looks like all that practice from the PS3 version

meh ... the X360 version was slightly better ... (joking )

I've been on an RTS, 4X, Star Wars kick, and SW mods at that.

I created a post about the games I'm playing at the 4X Reddit, and I'll share that info here:

I seem to keep coming back to Star Wars themed 4X and strategy experiences.

So I kept reading about folks being disgusted with Empire at War and going back to 1998's buggy release titled Star Wars Rebellion. Seems it has some finickiness with modern OSes especially Windows 10, which is acceptable considering its age.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/441550/STAR_WARS_Rebellion/

While I like some of the aspects of what I have seen from that title in videos, I was a C&C guy back in those days so I didn't play much for 4X titles. Now that I'm more into them, I have purchased far more than I have time to play...trying to find the one that captivates me. Be it Star Wars or not...but back to the topic...this is a Star Wars 4X subject after all.

Anyways, I've been really enjoying some select Star Wars themed mods for the following games. I am only going to focus on the mods I enjoy the most. All of these games may have multiple SW mods, feel free to donate your thoughts on those or compare against what I have presented. I'm hoping to spread the knowledge of these mods so users can enjoy these titles as much as I have.


Polaris Sector

• Star Wars Alliance
• http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-polaris-sector-alliance

Utilizes content from other games and mods, is the biggest mod for PS and boy does it add and change a lot content-wise. Nomada, the author, reports this is the closest he could get to a SW Rebellion experience with a game mod. Albeit with PS game mechanics.

So far I'm finding it to be quite fun, but I also enjoy PS vanilla. Still eagerly awaiting the next patch release announcement, this is a hidden gem of a 4X for folks that enjoy a wargaming focus with some more in-depth tactical combat in contrast to the current scope of 4X titles where combat is ho-hum.

The attention to detail and numerous changes make this mod quite sizeable, at 5.3GB. Worth every byte IMHO, and while I am just sinking my teeth into this one after waiting a while to give it a try. A MUST TRY if you own Polaris Sector.


Sins of a Solar Empire

• Star Wars Interregnum
• http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-interregnum

This is one of my favorite mods for SoaSE and has been for some time. 1.90 compatible. Requires the E4X mod, which expands on SoaSE to give it more 4X flavor, but this game and mod surely keeps the action at the forefront and it is so beautiful to watch!

There are other Star Wars mods for Sins, but frankly this one does the trick for me and does it so well I stopped trying any of the rest. Still being updated, still being developed, and has been a great experience along the way.


Star Wars Empire at War Gold

• Empire at War Remake
• http://www.moddb.com/mods/empire-at-war-re

This one I just heard about and it was recently released. I am amazed at what they pulled off with such an old game engine. Now this game is supposedly a sort-of successor to SW Rebellion...some agree, some don't. I have no experience with Rebellion as said above, but what I've seen of Rebellion this doesn't seem to be quite the same focus and goal...but sure there are some similarities.

Either way, I enjoy EaW, vanilla, modded, whatever...its age is showing and its fun factor has faded in recent years. And ground combat...sigh. I guess if looked at and treated as a 4X rather than RTS, ground combat is above average...but meh.

Anyways, this mod doesn't change ground combat yet... but what it does change it does an excellent job of. Units, skins, effects, content, etc...is all very impressive so far for a new mod for such an old game.

The mod works best with the GoG version of the game, but is do-able with the Steam version of the game if you get the correct executable for FoC. No matter which version, the executables need the 4GB patch. There are plenty of posts and instructions to easily accomplish this.

I haven't tried a lot of other mods for EaW yet...only a handful and some were fun, some weren't what I expected, this one totally surprised me and now I'm having this and Polaris Sector w/SW Alliance battle for my time as I find both quite fun. This one is pretty damn challenging at the moment in Galactic Conquest, the dev just said today (as I was typing this post) that they plan to re-launch Empire and Rebellion campaigns.

So far it is very fun, challenging (at least for this gamer), and looks quite frankly amazing for what it is.

Those are my big 3 at this moment, I have tried SW mods for Stellaris as well, but I just have trouble getting into that game. I do want to try a SW mod for DWU at some point, but I gotta finish my current playthru before I do anything.

What are you guys doing with these games? What Star Wars-themed mods are you playing?

What's your thoughts on the mods I'm using?

Cheers!

After a couple of days of playing, I already have tons of hours into Interregnum for SoaSE, so I'll expand on the other two I have played.

I've been primarily playing the Empire at War Remake mod, it is impressive and quite challenging. I keep getting my ass handed to me on easy...though I'm also quite rusty with EaW but I'll get them damn rebels yet! LOL!!! Regardless, the graphics quality they achieved from such an old game and engine. Being a 4X-lite, it serves its purpose well and I look forward to this mod progressing and hopefully changing the ground combat into something a little more fun...probably not possible but I'm still hoping! If you own Empire at War, this new mod is well worth your time to look at.

The Polaris Sector mod... I'm super impressed. I keep bouncing back to that one as well...the number of units, changes, the way the game's original mechanics blend with the Star Wars theme works really well here. For an indie title that uses sprites for most everything, it does a good job of covering 4X in a way that I find interesting and involving. Sure it could be better in a couple of ways...but leading up to large battles feels good here. The Alliance mod is something I should've tried a year ago, and am glad I did now.

60+ hours and finished Kh2 Final Mix. After playing 358/2 days, Re: coded and Re: Chains of Memory I finally managed to understand the whole thing!

It's awesome that final mix has Roxas as boss. Normal KH2 didn't have this battle, only a cutscene. Even though I didn't really want to beat Roxas. He's a more interesting character than Sora.

Xemnas final form was really tough, he just didn't want to die lol. I couldn't beat Marluxia and Sephiroth. And I don't have the foggiest idea how to kick their asses. Haven't completed Gummi missions and Underworld Paradox Tournaments :'( I guess I'll have to come back to KH2 FM later to get the secret ending and complete all optional stuff but it's ok, this game has an awesome replay value!

First 3 ranked online matches with Blue beetle after load of matches against a friend online and memorising at least 3 combo sets.

Picked up final fantasy XV for my Xbox one and am loving it so far, only on chapter 2 as I got it Wednesday

Need for speed - Need for speed the Run and Street Fighter IV Ultra.

Terraria, and I'm kinda torn about that game. It can be pretty fun, but everything takes so much time it's difficult to play casually, at least not if you want to get anywhere. Not to mention you have to read the wiki a lot to get anywhere and I feel that is fundementally flawed.

It plays pretty well on the laptop in sig (first gen HD Graphics), but in town the performance slows to a crawl.

Anybody pick up Perception? It was a game I kickstarted a while ago, finally released on Steam. Have only played about 30 minutes or so, not sure how I feel (was expecting something different). Curious how anybody else who discovered it recently feels about it.

 

[Capitan Harlock]

Playing Tekken 7 , replaying Prey and have to start Vanquish.

I discovered it on GOG, and am interested, but the devs sound like the worst of the worst as far as kickstarting. A lot of the comments on GOG are fairly upset at the bait and switch on an actual disk for backers.

As to the game, it looks very interesting, and I am leaning toward picking it up.
