What are you playing?

[Kursah]

What can you tell me about the multiplayer ?
I wanna play it to, but if it has no multi....i'm not paying just for the single player story

Single Player as described here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/391220/Rise_of_the_Tomb_Raider/

It's a heck of a lot of story...over 51 hours for me, IIRC.

Playing AC Unity , not as bad as I was led to believe. Only saw one NPC levitating as of now.

It's pretty terrible. Trying to get inside of windows in a hurry, for example. Or trying to freerun in cramped areas where the character never decides to go where you're looking. Stupidly difficult to join co-op players too (usually have to use uPlay because the in-game stuff was utterly broken).

Oh, and they love pulling out their guns and the highest level difficulty, two marksman shots in quick succession will kill you. Unlike previous games where you could grab someone as a human shield, Unity doesn't let you. Only way to not die is via smoke bombs.

Castle of the Winds

Had to get windows 3.1 working from within a dosbox since its an old 16bit app.

I enjoyed it too. By waiting a couple years I didn't encounter much in the way of bugs. I also found movement and combat to flow prettty well, although it was a step back from Black Flag. Ubisoft apparently realized it too because they fixed those elements again with Syndicate.

I found this neat little 2D Dungeon Crawler Looter game that reminds me a lot of Diablo combined with other games similar from the genre. Prepare for addiction. Played this late into the hours of the night.

Game is called Dead Cells

Just finished Horizon Zero Dawn - can't wait till the DLC at the end of the year.
Beat Nier Automata (PC) for sixth time.
Now I started playing Star Wars Battlefront on the xbox1 - picked it up for 10 at GS, and Lords of the Fallen (Steam Sale).

Got a few games from the summer sale. Ziggurat is fun but needs more levels, lots more levels.

Endless space has an Ai problem. First it allows it to expand faster than you can, then it allows it to build fleets faster than you can. Not that I can't make advantages back. I did a few edits to the weight/build time cost of armor and a specific weapon only in the long range. It allowed me to survive the onslaught. Then I thought the Ai might just be worthwhile and the game devs had mistakenly given it too much resources even though it was challenging on its own. Because it adapted. Not just discovering my changes, but also adapting to my escalation of that exploit. First I had ships with 3k damage, then they showed up with ones with 12k defense; then I went to 12k damage only for them to show up with 40k defense. It went on like this all game until I finally beat it back and won. It was fun.

Then I started another game and the pirates adapted, but none of the other Ai players did. So 100 turns in the pirates had wiped out all the other Ai players... Pirates do not start their own territories...they just send fleets. The map was completely open and All I had to do was stave off the occasional pirate fleet...it sucked.

Got Styx the deadly shadows, going through Of Orcs and Men again first to get re-acquainted with the story. Styx is a bad ass. Arkail is loud and gets killed alot...

Breath of the Wild, 25fps on a G4560 @ 3,5GHz, 15 on a 955BE @ 3,2GHz. Someone hasn't aged very well.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

Gameplay is dynamic and fluid like Æon Flux or BloodRayne. Platforming/jumping is tough but realistic. Melee attacks are awesome! Graphics/physics are impressive for a 2004 ps2 game! Enemy AI is good, they cooperate with each other and flank you or take cover when under attack. I haven't read Ghost in the Shell manga so I have no idea if all the stuff in this game is accurate.

Hacking terminals and enemies' cyber-brains is minimalistic just like in Syndicate remake but that's ok. They managed to capture cyberpunk atmosphere.

 

[WhiteNoise]

Been playing Dying Light which I recently beat and I am now about 20% into the following.

Absolutely love that game! It's still a go to sometimes for a couple hours just to sandbox in even tho I beat it.

 

[Disparia]

I let the DLC stack so going through Fallout 4 for the new stuff and a different ending.

 

[Shou Miko]

I am kinda into Fallout 4, got all the DLC's and ofc a ton of mods installed and I am like level 47 just got to "Far Harbor" haven't even finished the main story and just got "Curie" as a companion with Nick Valentine and ofc not to forget Dog meat been with my character since day 1 out from Vault 111.

A really nice shop to download is Eli's Armour Compendium by Elianora she does some really cool things for the Fallout 4 universe like rebuilding the Red Rocket, Far Harbor Shack, and the first one I said Eli's Armour Compendium not far from Diamond City and ofc you will meet Ellie inside (Check her out on nexusmods)

 

[Shou Miko]

Just beginning in Far Harbor and for some reason while hanging out with Cait and Nick Valentine, Dog meat decided he wants to swim inside I dunno if he already had too much to drink since he think he can swim in doors

 

[Arctucas]

Nothing currently, waiting for Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Finally finished playing Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. This game is quite long and VERY difficult. The only way to make it easier is to grind continuously which I didn't really do much because 40 hours is already more than enough for me. The ending surprised me as hell though, very different than what you get from the main series. Even though I knew it prior to playing the game, it's very obvious that someone else took the lead in developing this game replacing Hironobu Sakaguchi. Overall, the game has a very interesting story and very good script, decent gameplay but the accompanying music (soundtracks) isn't really anything to write home about. Well, that's that.

Not the final fight but this was a damn hard one!

Tomorrow, or possibly the day after, I will finally get to start Rise of the Tomb Raider.

 

[GreiverBlade]

still managed to get some of my STEAM wishlist load off .... during the Summer Sale (i got my payment on the 3rd July luckily ahah )

not something i can really... play .... tho finally 3DMark AE... 4$? worth it ...


more game wise speaking and totally will be playing:

well i still have the 4 CD's somewhere ... and the box for that one, and ... i missed Boo too ... obviously took the second iteration too .... (i think i still have the original CD's for the 1st one and i still have the original manual of the second on my desk ... just above the one from Total Annihilation )


ohhhhh i had that one on X360 .... now finally back to his right place


the Otaku side of me ... is ... well ... you know ... (since i have all Hyperdimension i ought to take Megadimension too, all DLCs include)Senran Kagura ... well i bought Shinovi Versus on 2016 summer sale ... so why not and well
i love VN and even more when it's a parody ( Stay! Stay! DPRK is a parody of Go! Go! Nippon but one is less educational than the other .... i let you guess which one )



otherwise ... Kritika again 1st 60 on the account, 5 lvl to go to max, only got into party when quest asked to (mostly 2 player required) and lvl'ed quite fast by soloing "danger area" in "insane" difficulty, actually Insane feel like easy mode ... with a Catspaw class .... (ok i had enough experience on Chinese server tho )


dunno if it's only me ... but each time i see the "Exiled Wolfqueen" i ask myself: "what the... did Ahri from LOL lost 8 of her tails?"


funny ... the game was just "good for venting on nervous action and gameplay" with the partial translation patch ... but full english NA/EU version, storywise, well not too bad either

Been playing around 6 hours of Rise of the Tomb Raider. The visuals are impressive as I've seen from of the videos online but I was pleasantly surprised that the gameplay has a lot more to offer than the 2013 game. The puzzles are still a bit easier than I would've liked, I thought that we can get something from the Legends, Origins and Underworld complexities but it's still an improvement from the previous games. One of the things I really love from this game and the 2013 game is that every documents, recorders and relics found have voice over narration by Lara or the writer/speaker of said items so for someone like me who's playing casually with a controller, I don't have to force myself closer to read the text. It's a really nice touch because with most games that have codex or documents, most of the time it's just long, long plain text and they ruin the immersion of the game for me. As with the 2013 game though, I feel like this game also has a bit of an input lag. It feels a little bit heavy to control compared to other games. Minor gripe though and it's not really a super fast-paced game. so I can live with it.

"Air missions: HIND" Reminds me of Novalogic Comanche, which more or less was my first online (LAN) experiency and a satisfactory one.
I like the missions so far. (It is not Arma or DCS)

Then again, after Dirt MP non existence, back to Project Cars. Have a blast online and even getting good results.

 

[GreiverBlade]

Dreadnought .... just right now ....

dunno why but i get a fractured space feeling ... oh snaps ... that was too obvious ...

didn't take a recent screen of FS but i remember getting it for free during an even and getting a free Titan Reaper with free Revenant legendary skin ... (and a Mighty Jingles captain is always fun )


Dreadnought: well it feels similar but a little less sluggish ... and i like the look of my Captain the tips & hints given hold a nice share of humour (i.e. : the destroyer's description )


edit not too bad ... rewards are pushing player forward (i.e.: 3 proving ground battle = 450gp premium currency)
since the cheapest bundle is 350gp that was welcome, a few cosmetics a premium artillery cruiser (PCF Silesia), 10k credits and 7 days elite status


quite efficient nonetheless and clearly not ugly either


edit 2, queue time are long tho

 

[GreiverBlade]

duh... no edit, errrr...

a little before going to sleep ... (2:06AM here)

alongside with Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 there was one other RPG i played back in the days ( 1st on a 486 DX 33, while all my friend had Pentium or higher alternatives since i was a little broke, and then on a Pentium MMX 233)

Septerra Core: Legacy of the creator .... a fun one just as i remembered it


image upscaled from native resolution (640x480) for readability , even if on STEAM, it's not a remaster/reworked/whatever just the raw game like old time well it works on Win10 ...
