What are you playing?

Still no news about the next Tomb Raider game so I'm revisiting those pre-trilogy days, where the puzzles really can do your head in at times. Not to mention the chimney jump and swinging along walls.

Vayra86 · Oct 25, 2020

Still committing murder on the forces of good. Man, this game is enjoyable, its also really easy if you're familiar with the concept and coming from Darkest Dungeon. Will definitely be moving to higher difficulty after this playthrough and would recommend starting on a higher one too.

Got back into Persona 5 Royal during this weekend. Finished main story (87h on merciless), moved into the extra semester. Turns out I won't be able to get true true ending because I pretty much ignored Akechi's social link...

There's always New Game+.

About 78 hours in I realized that I can slam my car into shadows in memento's. That sped up the grind a LOT.

RE3 Remake. These remakes are damn quality.

Splinterdog · Oct 25, 2020

I'd forgotten how good Shadow Of The Tomb Raider really is and it's going to take quite a game to follow it up, whenever that might be.

Mario Kart.. on my phone lol!

Once you start moving through the ranks the competition is pretty intense! :laugh:

milewski1015 · Oct 26, 2020

Picked up Metro Exodus and The Outer Worlds this past weekend while my Epic coupons were still active. Have so many games that I have started and never finished though that I should probably do before starting more: Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Titanfall 2, Subnautica, Watch Dogs 2, some post-main story content in Control, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Superhot :cry:

I started a campaign in Dragon Age: Inquisition with my EA play sub. Why are wolves so hard to kill in 3rd person ARPGs?

Dante's Inferno is so cool even though its based on comics not Divine Comedy.

Probably one of the best games about Hell/Purgatory. Followed by Diablo and Painkiller. Nice level design/art/music and great voice actors. It has everything: demons, ghouls, boobies, fleshy walls, harpies, rivers of vomit, suicide forest, patricide, Greek/Roman mythology and so on.

Splinterdog · Oct 27, 2020

Forgot to mention that I've started ROTTR on New Game Plus where your progress - skills, weapons etc - gets carried forward on three new paths.
Actually, there isn't one TR game that isn't worth another playthrough.

WhiteNoise · Oct 28, 2020

Still playing ESO most of the time.

SN2716057 · Oct 28, 2020

I tried Ghostrunner Demo on Steam. It's a very fast paced slicing time game which runs butter smooth and has great atmosphere. A pity I'm horrible at it.. apart from dicing this dude.

The last Epic $10 coupon is still burning a hole in my pocket and Ghostrunner is at just the right price at ~~$19.99~~ $15.99, which is 20% off. So with the coupon, it makes perfect sense, especially since it's expiring at the end of this month.
On the other hand, my parkour skills are severely lacking and need a little more practice, a la Mirror's Edge, which is a great game.
Downloading demo now...

Consider Ghostrunner as practice for Dying Light 2!

Play'n Soma i got from Epic's Halloween sale for 2 bucks. It's DRM free if launched from the install folder. Soma is a good game in story and puzzles. It's made by the same developer that does the Amnesia series with similar gameplay.

Splinterdog · Oct 30, 2020

Is it scary?

At my age and having dreams of my own throat being cut at the least...very few things are scary.

milewski1015 · Oct 30, 2020

Definitely has more of an atmospheric horror approach to it like the other Frictional games. It is kind of like Amnesia such that there are "monsters" around that will pursue you at some points, but I wouldn't say it's scary per-se. Although, I guess that all depends on what scares you. If I remember correctly, there is an "easy" mode that makes the encounters easier and you can't "die", which would bring the fear factor down a notch.
As I mentioned in my post in the Hidden Gems thread, it has a very thought-provoking story that brings up a philosophical question. I won't go into more detail as I don't want to spoil anything. For $3 though, I highly recommend it. I have 24 hours of playtime, so it's a decent amount of content for such a low price.

I still haven't figured out Mount & Blade II Bannerlord, so back to The Witcher 3.

Yes, in parts. Not like Amnesia.

I love it when women go to war, who needs armour.

SN2716057 · Oct 31, 2020

Recently purchased the Valve Index and oh my lord is it fun, exhausting but fun.
Messed around in Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, and had an intensive battle in Blade & Sorcery. Still have to check out Half-Life Alyx.
Sadly no pictures as I have no idea how to make them with the controllers.

The setup is far easier than with the Oculus Rift and barely any screen-door effect. All-in-all the Index is a much better experience albeit pricey.

Vayra86 · Oct 31, 2020

You guys realize that these pages are now taking about a minute to load up right? Which means... I scroll past half an empty page and don't even see all those nice screens.

Use spoiler tags! its so much better... I don't do it either all the time... but if you post more than one pic, why not?

If you know the movie Abyss... it has that atmosphere to it. Pretty neat. Its like a state of constant tension, at least that's how I felt it

Huh, never noticed that.
Pages load almost instantly for me, tho I only browse this topic on my PC with a 100 Mbps connection 'would be 500 but my router connection/port limits it'.

I try to post only 1-2 pics when I post some screens.
