What are you playing?

My stepson is also an avid gamer and has the best of both worlds. A new PS4, and a gaming PC that I built for him (FX8320/GTX970).
He raved about RDR2 and Spiderman, both of which I can't play on my PC because they're console only. And he's got a Nintendo switch, so he's got one heck of a choice.
Mind you, he finished games in days, whereas I take months and sometimes years, which he finds most amusing. Oh, and when I say I don't like multiplayer, he calls me a chicken.
 
Metro Series currently... running around with a silenced shotgun blasting everything like

New Exotic weapon that I've fallen in love with. :3 (too bad there's no actual berries included)

I've dived back into Far Cry 5 and Ghost Recon Wildlands ...

I've been looking at these two, and ended up buying neither. I have several friends saying that FC5 is pretty damn awesome, now more so than at release.

But that being said, both these titles look to be quite fun, and am curious what someone who owns and plays both thinks, so I appreciate your input. Right now I'm back into FC2, it's been so long since I last played it and I'm having a blast with it. I know FC5 is a little more arcade in its action and fun, which is appealing, but I like the struggle that FC2 presents as well.

I'm still on the fence about picking up either of them, one of them or both of them on the Steam Winter Sale coming up...
 
Bit the bullet, enjoying the heck out of it...

I played FC2 ages ago and got quite far into it, but for some reason must have got tired of it, because I know I never finished it. I do remember that everything looked terribly washed out and brown and I had to keep popping anti malaria pills. That's the same year Tomb Rider Underworld came out so that may have taken over.
FC3 was altogether different, very lush and got me hooked straight away. The only let down was the ending with
a horrible quick time event, which really pissed me off.
There was a lot of hoohah about the theme of FC5, even prior to release and I partly bought it to see what the fuss was all about. In fact, Ubisoft copped out on that storyline a little, I thought.

Finished the entire StarCraft II campaign (including Nova Covert Ops). Definitely well worth the wait and $30 discounted price. I'll probably be playing Far Cry Primal next.

What game is that?
Shadow Warrior 2. Some rabbits when killed turn into Bunny Lords. The Elmer Fudd line he gave is a line the protagonist says.

Ah, it looked familiar.
 
Total War: Warhammer II and World of Warships sometimes. I don't really play anything else.
 
Got a lovely little press kit for this week's review

Just Cause 4 now has Fulton style ballons, a la MGSV.
View attachment 111796

Edit
It appears that Just Cause 4 has very limited key mapping options and some people are actually installing third party key mapping software to get around the issue.
It's probably a console port, but that's no excuse for limiting key mapping and some people are asking for refunds because of this.
I'm holding off until this gets patched.

Square Enix have just released a dev post saying that key remapping and textures will be addressed in the next couple of weeks, which is good news.

It still begs the question as to why they released it in this condition in the first place, but at least I can buy it now knowing the keymapping will be fixed.

Because marketing determines launch day, not devs. The only way the launch date gets bumped is if the console version of the game can't pass qualification testing for launch. PC version is often sacrificed to make sure qualification passes because they can cheaply fix it post-launch.

If you haven't noticed, it's pretty rare for a game launch to be delayed these days. Mass Effect Andromeda is a notable example and we all know how sad of state it was in when it finally did launch.

Started playing Warframe a bit this week (solo). I had no idea this existed, I actually first noticed it when browsing for new games on my Switch, and then I saw it was just on PC as well :P

I'm actually having a lot of fun with it so far, looks good and plays quite nice. Will see if I get bored of it though.. For now I only have a bow and arrow, quite badass but I kinda want to unlock an actual gun haha. Will just have to keep playing I suppose.


Other than that the stuff I always play every once in a while: CS:GO, Rocket League, some BRs with friends, and Picross Touch late at night with some nice music ;) Kinda wanna jump into my Terraria world again to finish some of my ambitious builds as well :D

Been a looong time since I last visited this forum.. Good to see the familiar threads are still going :)
 
Played few matches and it's just cool that every BR game feels more or less different.

Bought Trials Fusion and damn it's fun!

Indeed.. I love the Trials series. If you can, find Trials HD which is even harder. It's not as pretty, but they simplified the series a little after that one (I have it on 360. Not sure where else it is).

Damn, I have to get it :)

Maybe going for a little trip tomorrow, I'll buy it if I have cash left :toast:
 
I have a strange compulsion to play WoW. Or some MMO. What's wrong with me?

Anyone play TES Online?
 
Finished up DeathSpank, Heroic difficulty and 100%.

Grim Dawn
DeathSpank

Neverwinter Nights Enhanced

Was a good $20 spent so far. That feeling should continue as I have played NWN before.

If you're looking for a recommendation it's no Oblivion or Skyrim but I think the main story is worth a play through. Haven't played in awhile, so I don't know much about any of the newer content.
