What are you playing?

Watch_Dogs is a rad game. If you managed to get it for free and still haven't given it a go, do it. The game picks up slowly (is that even an expression or am I creating my own language ? ) but after a few hours you'll be hooked. I know I am.

Your expression is just fine. I use the same phrase on other entertainement (books, movies) as well as games to describe a plot that is slow to start.

Shouldn't it always require the object, e.g. "picks up the pace slowly" or is it fine to use it as is ?

I’m sure the second is more correct, but both are commonly used.

better late than never .... restarting Diablo III made me want a little bit more .... so i bought (finally) Reaper Of Souls expansion

Crusader is fun .... almost like it more than Wizard (although my only 60 is a Barbarian the Wiz is 55 ) Diablo III did age well and still look nice (damn theses cinematics are gorgeous ... )

If you wanna play with someone i can join you, i miss Diablo 3 too but i don't like it to play solo XD .
 
i always said .... "C.O.D never..." but i guess they did pull the right stunt with C.O.D WWII to get me interested ... ofc i am not into MP (not for Battlefield either .... funny? eh? oh well i had my time in a cybercafé a while ago on BF 1942 and Desert Combat mod ... but lately ... i think bot and npc are better human than human themselves :laugh: )

mmhhh Panzer IV Ausf. G i'd say and then some Heinkel HE. 111 the intro movie is not bad at all, if not a bit too much Activision'esque


20180317204032_1.jpg
funny i had a friend in the army that looked almost like him :laugh: oh and a M3 trench knife

20180317205300_1.jpg20180317204551_1.jpg
life is a B..... each, you run you crawl ... you get hit by a stray bullet, with a Sherman M4 DD on background (not that this would help you: he's burning already ) .... you light up a bangalore almost dead and then you rush some bunker ...
oh well not really a demanding game then... i did up the refresh rate on my screen to 75hz and it stay a steady 75fps for most of the game (vsync on, off: i get in the 80's fps enough) ... 3.2gb on 8gb mmhhh i can almost see some 4gb card getting issues here ... o_O /joke (not using AA, at 2880x1620 it's not really necessary )

20180318091412_1.jpg
oh the "boxy" type of M4 Sherman, i guess i prefered seeing M4 and PzKpfw IV rather than Mark V, A7V and Renault FT
even if these Sherman looks weird having VVSS suspension, M4A2 probably, even if anachronistic, a long barrel and a muzzle brake, hinting a M1A1C 76mm with a early type of turret that would not belong on that type of hull, at first i though it were Firefly .... but then wait a sec ... US army never used the Firefly (obviously since it was a British conversion using a QF 17pdr 76.5mm gun)... oh well C.O.D is not synonyme of historically accurate :laugh:

20180318111314_3.jpg
armored train with PzKpwf IV Ausf. H turret .... another anachronisme ? looks like a Panzerjäger-triebwagen Nr. 51[1945] and the action is in 1944 the Nr.51 (and the other which were 52 and 53 for the one that were completed) was in construction at that time and only 3 of 5 were finished in 1945 and didn't participate to any combat of WWII

oh well, didn't come for history accuracy

satisfactory moment after a long ... long ... long .... moment of inaction (mmhh tho the QTE event are really annoying but a little bit more elaborated than just mash up a button ... )

It looks like Activision brought in the M4 Sherman from the Korean War to WW2. Nice little rundown @GreiverBlade. So you recommend to play? How long is campaign for you?

mmhhh dunno .... i like these games no matter the time needed to do a full play through, solo campaign from BF3 and 4 were good enough for me (to i miss Bad Company "1" and 2 these .... were hilarious ... ) i think if you like MP they yes i recommend it, if only for SP, unless you get it with a hefty discount (i.e.: i got it for ~25chf actual price is 49chf) not really worth the spent money.

tho graphically and dynamically it's a quite beautiful game, since it's literally my 1st C.O.D (i played Ghost on friends account ... didn't like that much ) i can't say i am disappointed (tho my initial "hate" for C.O.D franchise came from the kids back in the day that were yelling "NAH COD IS BETTER THAN BF42: SWoWWII!" huhuhu ... fanboyisme .... my bad :laugh: )

actually the M4 DD are accurate ... VVSS susp short barrel M3 75, why didn't they use the same model without the snorkel for the tanks you encounter later in the game? because it's the US side that is shown? that would almost make sense .... since the Firefly was the "best" M4 of WWII (to a point that the Germans received order to prioritize their destruction over any other vehicle type if they were present, which was the origin of the typical gun camouflaging on the Firefly )


oh crap i noticed in the 1st pic ... after the PzKpfw IV Ausf. G there is 2 Ausf. B or D ( distinctive short gun barrel) but sporting the Ausf. H turret sidescreen which .... never happened :D the Ausf. F1 had additional screen but in a different fashion so it's not that one either
edit ... might be Ausf. H without the hull sidescreen i think it's the perspective that make me see a shorter barrel ... on a second look i notice the muzzle brake of the KwK 40/L48

I beat the game with the help of random people for half of the boss fights since my build is so bad,and the boss are to hard! Farming was very hard to....
So let's talk about that.

I think you can definitely look at Dark Souls 3 as a single player campaign more fight than story kind of game. I have a guy who played the game ignoring like more than half a map and just killing here and there, going for the bosses and that's it. I choose to play it differently. Went through the entire game making sure i did not miss an item. And it was very hard. Lost so many souls...
This if you only look at the game from a single player experience. PVP is farming frenzy! You need lvl 120 with the best items you can get. This requires incredible amount of farming. ALso I started the game again, which is called NG+ . Big mistake!
It does not give you much extra souls per kill, you are better off farming without starting over.
I only played offline without ember state. Went in ember when i needed help with bosses from random people.

This is an OP build for pve. And you are 2 hits dead in pvp, cuz of the very low HP bar.

I got DS3 at Humble Bundle offer. The main goal was to co-op so hard! We did co-op for 1 hour, which was actually more like 20 minutes gameplay. One of the best weapons in game you can ONLY get in Ringed Circle. DLC that I don't have. I only got Ashes of Ariandel. A few more map....but over all hard enemies with very little souls. Not a good place for farming.
Don't think I will ever get the Ringed City cuz it's to expensive. And for just 1 weapon, not worth it.

I have also been playing Past Cure. IF you have very low computer, but still wanna enjoy a single player ONLY story 3rd person shooter, this might be for you.
Most of the people here on TPU have extreme computers, but hey it's always worth a shot.
You can close the sound. You will not understand the commentary ....just so you will get an idea about the game

The ringed city is worth it , a lot of cool weapons and stuff .
Cool bosses too .
But i expected a lot more so if you are fan of the story is not so "great".

what happen to the raccoon in your avatar? I feel like i'm not talking to you right now

Super Lucky's Tale...video coming up. (I think)

My apologies

On a different note: Super Lucky's Tale a quite the happy adventure. And I had a feeling i won't be making any gameplay of this. When it's not meant to be :(
If you have any kids, if you are looking for a relaxing time, something with no violence. This is a good title to have

You have wounded me sir.
 
Started Final Fantasy XV (I had to get a new SSD to install that :D ) and few hours played, feels fine even for a FF veteran like me.


edit: And it looks pretty damn good, even with "average" settings. Damn that fire when starting the game :o

Maize pics tonight. I finished it yesterday. It took about 7 hours total. Very few games genuinely have a laugh factor, but Maize did!

The puzzles were hard enough to make you think, but not so much to make you frustrated. I did have to quit a couple times and think it out before going back though. Mostly it is linear, but it was cleverly done.

And, I love surprise endings. Overall 6.9/10. Pretty good for Indie title.
 
been playing Fortnite with my son as its something he really likes to do with me :)
