What are you playing?

[Kursah]

Was gonna grab FC5 during the Steam sale and waffled too much on it, decided to reinstall FC2 instead. I forgot how much I enjoyed that one...at least until the checkpoints pissed me off. So far, that hasn't happened! I forgot how good the game looks and plays, it barely loads my system now...but 10 years ago, I recall it being a bit different. DX10, no crashes yet, plays super smooth, looks good enough, and I really like the physics and attention to details that I read FC4 and 5 lack. I never played much of FC3 either. FC1 and 2 I had far far more time into.

Also working on my Doom 2016 playthru...when you just want action, violence and mad gibs...this is where it's at. I sure wish there'd be a Quake 2018 that was a more direct sequel to the original. But that being said the next Doom looks pretty sweet.

Oh ya and also reinstalled and started a fresh run through AVP2010, I forgot that one was DX11!! I'm looking forward to giving this more time, but for now Doom and FC2 for FPS.

Sword of the Stars and Ashes of the Singularity for strategy.

SotS was $2.50 on sale on GOG and Steam. It's worth every damn penny, I already owned it on Steam but snagged a copy on GOG. If Kerberos does make an HD remaster, I really hope they don't screw it up! I really hope they do a modern remake of SOTS1 though.

Ashes has been a lotta fun playing through again, though it seems a recent update must've made the AI weaker...because there's no way I'm THAT good after not playing for a couple of months. So cranking up the challenge, going for larger maps with more AI, and doing another campaign playthru along with the challenges. Hoping this game gets some much needed attention too, patching has resumed for both GC3 and Ashes now that StarDock has released Star Control. But they're focusing on new content for GC3 first...I just hope they fix the damn combat...at least fix the viewer.

Nowadays, I'm playing mostly Overwatch and Civilization V. Sometimes The Lord of the Rings Online. When World of Wacraft 8.1 Update released, I guess, I'll be there again.

Here's some equipment highlights of my female Exo Voidwalker in Destiny 2 And being proud of it too.

Started GTA III. Damn, this haven't aged badly, and it's over 17 years old game (well, the PS2 version)..

 

[Gorstak]

I see you are a gaming expert. Shouldn't be too difficult to get most out of that oldie

Playing through SC2 campaign from start to finish. A little ways into Legacy of the Void now...

I decided about 2/3 of the way through Wings of Liberty that was I done going for achievements. There are so many and most of them are quite grueling. Now I'm just crusing through on normal difficulty for story with no intent to go back and mop them up.

Been playing Elex for a while. It's not bad; combat is a bit clunky in melee but better with ranged weapons, and some mission bugs, but all-in-all it's a fun game. Looks nice too.

I have recently added FC3-BloodDragon to my library. Loving it! Give it a try!

Yep. Everything is complete and fully playable except for the Xen levels. Those we finally will have sometime in 2019.

Wings of Liberty was the best IMO. The higher the stakes the more challange in writing a good story.

Having loads of fun with second playthrough of DOOM, can't wait for Eternal.

I'm pretty good at this

Spoiler: pics

 

[xtreemchaos]

fallout 4 vr, 76 skyrim vr, and Quake Champions. im really enjoying 76 so far, its got loads of neg press but it runs lovely for me. charl.

I like how Wings of Liberty campaign was structured better. Linear, then branches with each branch being linear until they converge for the end. Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void only branch once and each off of that is linear. Wings of Liberty also had more variety in gameplay with the only real notable change in Heart of Swarm is the one space battle with the Hyperion.

The story across all three so far is pretty good. It's what is keeping me going.

 

[Disparia]

Grim Dawn, pretty good, especially for $8.74. Definitely worth a play on Elite at some point.

Grim Dawn is awesome. The expansion is also worth it.

Diablo II LoD. Hell, this is still the best game ever..

I'm sorry I didn't download it from blizzard when they were offering their oldies for free. Woulda been very convenient to have a new installer for it. I can't find any repack on torrents...

 

[Durvelle27]

Been playing TDM in Black OPs IIII. Haven’t really tried anything else lately.

 

[Vernono]

What you guys think of Just Cause trilogy? I'm playing the third one, really over the top, fun, but buggy.

Catholic, hates commies.... my kind of guy.

edit: Same dev made the Mad Max game too. Not as over the top, but still fun.

@Knoxx29 @Tsukiyomi91

Do you use a racing wheel and/or pedals for your racing games? Or just a controller? Or mouse and keyboard?

If yes to the wheel/pedals, can you recommend me one? I am considering getting a racing setup going, I just don't know where to even start. Let's say $400 budget, would that get me a chair with a built in wheel and pedals and shifter?

on-topic: I am playing Slay the Spire. very fun card game/rpg hybrid.

 

[Vernono]

Played Mad Max on game pass for a few hours good game, may play more.

Search the big bad interwebs for this one

Diablo 2 with Lord of Destruction (v1.13c) (Direct Play)

Runs anywhere

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

@lynx29 using XB1 controller for racing games atm. Not considering getting wheel + pedal set for now.
