What are you playing?

[FordGT90Concept]

-Torchlight II (playing through with @-KarL- so it depends on his freetime more than mine)
-Borderlands DLCs (I've played them all but @-KarL- hasn't) (backed up)
-Sanctum 2 (decided this isn't a priority)
-Shad'O All achievements gotten.
-Drunken Robot Pornography
-Airline Tycoon 2
-Dead Island
-Dead Island Riptide
-Pixel Piracy
-Impire (alternative ending)
-Greed Corp All achivements gotten.
-Goat Simulator (have to clean up some of the GoatZ DLC)
-The Escapists I had an escape I wanted to finish but an update apparently got rid of the save. I didn't finish the game but it is effectively off my immediate to-do list.
-Rogue Legacy All achievements gotten.
-Remember Me Not redoing this now just for achievements.

It's crunch time! The final parts for my computer should arrive Friday Saturday. Luckily I finished Dead Island Riptide about an hour ago and I backed up all of the games that needed backing up (Sanctum 1 + 2, Borderlands 1 + 2, Torchlight 2, Dead Island + Dead Island Riptide, and Remember Me. All that's left on the to-do list is Pixel Piracy.

I really need to downgrade from 290X to 5870 before Friday and debating about doing it now or latter. I guess that comes down to whether or not I need to access my current data at all...I'm thinking not. I backed up pretty much everything a month ago because I thought my RAID0 was about to fail (it didn't). Anywho...I got to cram/beat Pixel Piracy in the next 24 hours. I hope it is doable.

If it moves... we can falton it

You need to add a speech bubble on the bear saying "WTF MAN?"

Edit: Thought about it some more and why is there a bear in Afghanistan? Ergo, Snake needs a speech bubble too saying "WTF BEAR?" Should be:

Snake: WTF BEAR?
Bear: WTF MAN?
Snake: Go home you are drunk!

Edit: Oh, apparently brown bears do exist in Afghanistan. Whodathunkit?

Memoria ... stunning ... point & click title ...


X-Blades i remember owning it on Xbox ... and i loved it, fast paced nice soundtrack (gosh the title screen song ... souvenir souvenir ... ) and also i got Blades Of Time in a 2,79€ bundle .... (redeemed only that one on 5 keys ... need to check later

i know both are from Gaijin and BOT is X-blade upgraded ... but i liked way more the gunblade from the predecessor over the blades + rifle of the successor

didn't play that one (another 2.79€ bundle and redeemed 1 code on 5 ) thoroughly but fo sh*t'n giggle that one is hilarious .... Dino D-day


next in line : Sudeki (still have the original box but can't play it except on my XP retro rig), Strike Suit Zero, Magicka and Pay Day 2 .... i really need to try all the free stuff i got with my Alpha and the steam summer sales i go on compulsory buying fever ahahah


lil' lil' butterfly ... say... who came up with Saint Row idea ... DA HELL the IV is ... delirious
thanks to steam free week end and the "game of the century" edition at 5.99€ ... i wonder how i could pass aside of that one ... just the right "venting off" game

I've completed REsi 4 (both scenarios for Leon and Ada). Really addictive game lol. Currently playing The Last Story. It's stealth, action, rpg, tactics, open-world .. you name it. Really cool game.

You piqued my interest, and then I discovered it is a game exclusively for Wii.

I have a Wii, I could get it, but I got so many games on PC to play. :x

did you like torchlight ii?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Not really. Torchlight was way better.

how about aarklash - legacy?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Never heard of it but just from that screenshot, it doesn't look like anything I would be interested in. I'm not entirely sure what sparked this line of questioning anyway.


Edit: Got the parts moved but unfortunately I can't plug in power to the HD 5870 because of the HDD cage is in the way. I had to downgrade to 9800 GT. Not entirely sure what I'm going to do about that yet...

Anywho, the last of the parts for my new computer should arrive tomorrow. Hopefully I can get that up and running by the end of the day. Until then, I'm going to push to finish Pixel Piracy on this 9800 GT...


Edit: Scratch Pixel Piracy. Danger 6+ ship encounters cause the framerate to fall into the single digits on 9800 GT and R9 290X. This isn't isolated to just me either. I'm not going to be able to finish that game.

Now, I'm just going to wait for the final BOINC tasks to clear then it will be time to beat it with the stupid stick (aka Killdisk).

Modded Skyrim, only game I currently like...

 

[lilhasselhoffer]

Decided to pick up Fallout 3 GOTY again, so that whenever Fallout 4 comes I can be ready for it.

Wow, did I have a rosy set of glasses when it came to this game. It is absolute crap. Before I get crucified, I'm talking the game itself and not the story. The initial character creation doesn't do a lot to prepare you for the world, the bugs and crashing are so prolific that I think it might have been a feature, the actual game has surprisingly little content spread out over a huge amount of random encounters that get boring after the umpteenth VATS decided shootout. How did this game not get thoroughly panned for its flaws?

Kudos to the modding community though. After a little time on the Nexus the game is running correctly. Kinda sad that Bethesda couldn't be bothered to fix so much of this, and it really highlights why modding is such a touchy issue. Without outside mods I'd have requested a refund 20 minutes into the game, after the third restart due to a random crash.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Why spare the story? If you teleport from location to location, the story is very short and not entirely very meaningful. I really can't see much of it carrying into a sequel other than a few footnotes here and there.

Generally, I agree though. Fallout New Vegas was a much better game overall but I still think I like Fallout 3's DLCs more; however, I may be borrowing those "rosy glasses" because the only reason why the DLCs are good is because they give you weapons and resources that the game without DLCs severely lacks.

 

[Ahhzz]

Not really. Torchlight was way better.

To be fair, I think TL II was over-hyped....

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I don't get out enough to even encounter hype. What I said is based solely on the decision to buy both titles and having completed them both.

To be perfectly honest, I didn't care much for Torchlight either but comparing the two, the original comes out on top. I think the crux of the problem is I just don't like that genre.

 

[Capitan Harlock]

Just started Xcom Enemy Unknown xd and playing Deus Ex human revolution directors cut after finished a week ago the first Deus Ex and loved it 57 hours of great gameplay XD .
Im playing Of Orcs and man , Mars Warlogs noth very good but is shame that the first dont use the same combat system but i think is because is older than the second.
I like it a lot Mars warlogs .

From about a week now im playing eurotruck simulator 2 ,assetto corsa and dirt 3 with my "new" logitech g25 and now is much more fun instead of usign the 360 joypad XD.

Still playing The Last Story (when I have time). Just for fun started the first chapter of Dead Space: Extraction. Never played any DS game before. Looks like Doom and SOMA with some jump scares from Quake or FEAR. Very dark game (literally)

Here is a picture of how far you can strip a car down in Car Mechanic Simulator 2015:

The engine comes apart in pieces (final piece being the block). You can't remove the whole engine/transmission in one whack. You disassemble while it is still in the car.


Edit: Well, I think I pretty much "finished" the game and that's rather disappointing. I have two pimped out, 100% condition cars in storage, $150,000 in the bank, and all of the upgrades. I could buy any car in the game I wanted...but why? There's nothing you can do with it except repair and stare at it. Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 was better. It actually had a sense of progression as well as meaningful/unique DLCs. This is meh. Definitely not worth the $19 I paid for it.


I really need to wrap up some games I started long ago in preparation for erasing. Let's see...in order from most urgent to least:
-Torchlight II (playing through with @-KarL- so it depends on his freetime more than mine)
-Borderlands DLCs (I've played them all but @-KarL- hasn't) (backed up)
-Sanctum 2 (decided this isn't a priority)
-Shad'O All achievements gotten.
-Drunken Robot Pornography
-Airline Tycoon 2
-Dead Island
-Dead Island Riptide
-Pixel Piracy
-Impire (alternative ending)
-Greed Corp All achivements gotten.
-Goat Simulator (have to clean up some of the GoatZ DLC)
-The Escapists I had an escape I wanted to finish but an update apparently got rid of the save. I didn't finish the game but it is effectively off my immediate to-do list.
-Rogue Legacy All achievements gotten.
-Remember Me Not redoing this now just for achievements.

...I think my plans to play Sleeping Dogs will have to be scrapped until post-upgrade.

I did not yet strip down a car that far, last time I had a Maluch and I needed to replace the engine block, I took out all parts from the engine bay and could not get the engine block dissambled for some reason I have put the Maluch back together and that was it, I started on other cars.

Mars War Logs very underrated. I quite enjoyed it. Of Orcs and Men is the sequel to Styx (even though it came out first) and you are right, controls are different. Took some getting used to. I prefer the Styx controls.

 

[F-Zero]

Hey everybody ! My first post here on the forums.

I'm playing Crysis 2 i don't know why but i always loved the Crysis franchise.

 

[RandomSadness]

Tomb Raider, awesome series.

 

[GreiverBlade]

got stuck on Saint Row IV ... the 4th iteration of the franchise is a pure ... blast ... i didn't liked the 1st, just as i hate GTA franchise ... nothing good, not even pleasing to the eyes (even GTA V), just plain stupid and no funny moment, thought it might be just me and my taste... but SRIV ...

everything's in it is : "cliché" "funny quotes" ok you still have free violence but ... you're in a game inside a game (troubling ...) the intro and such is ... over hilarious ... my prez' has a "almost chipmunk" voice tone ... which add more to the laugh.

also it was a nice test for the Alpha, noticing 2 interesting result:

windows 8.1 loaded steam loaded GPU OC 1155/1600 (1323boost) : if i want the game to be smooth i need to put it in medium or low ... but (prepare to laugh)

in console mode (alpha UI) launching steam in big picture (nothing else loaded not even afterburner so no OC on GPU ): i can set the game on Ultra settings no stuttering no hardware lag...

the Alpha UI is indeed an improvement even to only launch steam ... now if only they did support Origin/Glyph/My.com and other launcher that would be great ... i need to check if i can add and launch other games via steam in A:UI mode

*sniff* *sniff* *snnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiifffffffff* Dat new computer smell! *sniff* In a dusty 6 year old case.

You have to switch between the hood and under the car repeatedly. For example, you have to take off the oil pan from the bottom to remove the pistons from the top. Then you have to go back to the bottom, remove the crankshaft braces, the drive shaft, the gearbox, the clutch release bearing, clutch plate, clutch something, the fly wheel, and the crankshaft. Finally, you can pluck the engine block out through the hood access.


Steam is theoretically repairing itself... I say theoretically because I'm pretty sure it is just locked up. :/ I would be playing Shadow of Mordor if I could...

Edit: OMG, Steam fixed itself.

FordGT90Concept nudges Origin...

Edit: Origin was entirely painless. Just accept EULA, log in, enter security code.

Yeah I went under the car as well, removed as many parts as I could, I can't get the crankshaft out, ok I will see if I can get the gearbox out first.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

That always gets me: I think I'm ready to pull the crankshaft and engine block but I always forget to do the gearbox first. I'm certain that was the problem because it happened to me many times.

 

[GreiverBlade]

UE3 ... looks surprisingly good on the Alpha ...


custom graph only tweak : no AA medium shadow and medium view distance, acceptable framerate.

i need to play it in monochrome, tho in natural color : looks nice
strange game tho

now i wonder if i could run Ark on the Alpha

 

[Drone]

Completed Dead Space: Extraction on hard. Now need to play on Expert and Impossible.

Boss in Chapter 9 was pretty tough. I can imagine how it's gonna be on Impossible mode.
