Just picked up "Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition" for $20 from the GOG sale.

I don't really like games like this. The only game like this I have truly enjoyed was the old KOTOR series. For 20 bucks though, I thought I would give this acclaimed game a try. I am 1.5 hours in and it's alright so far.
It gets better with time. I probably didn't feel committed to finishing it until 20 hours in. XD

I actually had to look that up :(

I guess I have never had an affinity for isometric RPG's. Probably why I have not yet played Pillars of Eternity.

Here. ;) And here. Do eeeeeeet

Been playing Bioshock HD for the past 2 weeks.
As usual - I was aiming for 100% achievements, to increase my count of perfect games, but I got so fed up - killed it this morning.
Between occasional crashes and periodic bugs with config loading, I was still able to beat it on Hard and Survivor difficulty, but both bugs prevented me from getting achievements.

The funniest thing was a glitch was after my first crash, when on the next launch I had an XBOX360 UI, even though I sold my wireless XB controller long before I built this PC.
There were also some bugs that were present in the original Bioshock, that came out almost 10 years ago (like that stupid default resolution on initial launch, or audio diary in Proving Grounds level).

After deleting the game for good, I did my civic duty of leaving a lengthy rant in my 2K support ticket.

...and I was hoping that Irrational actually did remaster something...

I have just finished Batman Arkham Knight with all side missions except the Riddler's. Steam says I've logged 33 hours in the game, so yeah it's quite long. I'm guessing it'll take another 10 hours or so to get all of the Riddler's Trophies.

Because I didn't finished every side quests, I didn't get to the true ending but I've checked it out on Youtube and I thought it wasn't worth it. My overall impressions of the game, the plot is very good. All of the Arkham games plots are very satisfying. After getting to the end though, I'm not satisfied that most of the fights are with the Batmobile. Sure it's cool and all but I really prefer the old previous Arkham styles. Still, the game is worth it and I can recommend it to most who enjoy action games.

Now, I need to find something else to play. I'm thinking about either giving Bioshock Remastered a try (never played Bioshock 1 & 2) or finally play Final Fantasy VI.

Wait until patch. At this point you'll find nothing but frustration. I got myself through only because I am a die-hard fan of bioshock. Sane people would give up after the first crash.

Pre-ordered Mafia 3, so going to go through and beat Mafia 2 this week I think. Bought it and all the DLC on PC (already own and beat game on PS3). Wish the original was on Steam.

I quit a while back, and while I still follow the pro scene closely (LAN events mostly), I am glad I did.

I actually started on Mafia 2 last night, forgot how much I liked this game.

Took my 9 hours to run through Mafia 2 from start to finish. I only did the main story, no DLC, etc. Didn't spend any time doing anything side mission related or anything - just played straight through. Now am refreshed and remember the story so I can play through Mafia 3 and learn how they are planning on tying up the ending of 2.

After Mafia 3, I am not sure what I am going to play. I assume that it will be a lot more open than Mafia 2 was, as far as more real side missions and exploration; so I will probably spend a while on it.

If they are truly basing all of it on New Orleans, then it could be a good-sized area, since in actual land area, New Orleans is very large.

Just finished the story on Aragami. If you have not checked out this game yet, it is a must, well worth $17.99 sale price. It has beautiful music, art, story, and gameplay. At times the game makes you feel like a complete badass, then quickly puts you in your place when you encounter a boss fight. Just going through the story is about 8 hours worth of game play, but this is one of the few games I am going to complete 100%, because the gameplay is that good. There are achievement for going through chapters, without being seen, killing all enemies, and killing no one and can be quite challenging. Also has online two player co-op! Check out the gameplay and support this game. I will likely be doing a free giveaway for this game early next week.

Void Destroyer 2

Surprisingly good mashup of space sim and RTS. Still very much an EA development game...but I picked up Starpoint Gemini Warlords (also decent, more-so graphically) and SPAZ2 (a riot!) recently as well...all on sale. Can't help myself with these kinds of games.

Void Destroyer 2 though I keep going back to, its graphics make it playable on my laptop...and the dev doing a great job and quickly releasing patches to add content, make changes, test new features, resolve issues. The flight model is what I would call arcadey-newtonian...you keep going the same direction with thrust assist off...but you don't keep spinning, rolling or flipping. You can accellerate forever if you want tho...and the different travel modes are pretty neat. Changing to any ship on the fly has been well implemented and is badass. Missions are getting more varied. Ships all feel different. There are more upgrade options for ships. This game gave me a good break from Elite Dangerous and some other titles for a little bit...while Void Destroyer's 2's graphics aren't as pretty as some other titles...it runs smooth, its cell shaded and black border graphics grow on you, the action is good, the pace is just right, the controls take some adjusting but are very tuneable/customizeable to your needs.

Starpoint Gemini Warlords is pretty cool...it's already given me more entertainment than SPG2 did. I'm really looking forward to expanding and conquering in this one. There's already a good bit to do, you can add onto your base, create squads of ships to go around and do your bidding while you lead your cap ship into your missions. Go conquer other sectors and add them to your empire. SPG with 4X elements...very cool! Doesn't allow the RTS control like Void Destroyer 2 does...so it hasn't quite kept my interest in recent times. But totally worth it when I do play...graphics are good, handling is good, they've made some great adjustments. Battles are fun to partake in and watch. 3D plane and graphics, gives you control over where you go and what angle you attack from.

SPAZ2 is also neat as hell, what little I did play was action packed, colorful and really fun. The module system is interesting too...not sure if its a good or bad thing yet...but you get to customize your ship layout...and ramming ships is really quite fun. If any of you played Battlefield Gothic: Armada...think that but with less Orc/Marine and detailed graphics and FPS control of your ship. Ramming in SPAZ2 is really truly entertaining as hell. When I played there was also a zoomed out 2D top-view mode....reminded me of SPAZ in that view...but I prefered the 3D view. The flight is on a 2D plane...similar to Rebel Galaxy (another title I need to finish soon). Designing your ship is also pretty interesting and can really lend to your kind of playstyle and strategy. Makes playing this game more rewarding and impactful in some ways imho. Various weapons, build options and enemies makes this entertaining...though again haven't given it enough time...Void Destroyer 2's kept me entertained.

All 3 are quite good though, each is unique in what they do and how they do it...so that makes them all fun to own without too much competition between them...yet all have some of the same features/ideas as well...all 3 play very differently. If you want pure action, fun and arcade-style chaos...SPAZ2 is gonna be it. Something with good graphics, a story mode and sandbox mode with tons of ships, missions, areas to expand, SPG Warlords is a good stop. If you want a very good mix of space sim and RTS that gets super addictive and is a well executed and impressive release for EA, with action, acceptable (imho) cell shaded graphics, plenty of action and pure fun at several levels of views, control and decisions...dozens of ships..and more...Void Destroyer 2 is a must. Void Destroyer 1 is also worth a look...but last I played got very challenging quickly and wasn't as easy to adjust controls as 2 is.

Only one boss fight, which you are given the means to bypass if you are a heavy explorer. In fact the player is given two opportunities to find a device which makes the bossfight not happen. On that front, they learned their lesson.

Playing Mafia 3. After 20 years in New Orleans, I can say I know the layout very well. I'm actually pleased that New Bordeaux has many landmarks and buildings, which do exist in real life, moved around, and that they have taken artistic license with the city street layout. It keeps it adventurous, and makes it still feel like a brand new city to explore.

Oh, and less than 24 hours after scathing criticism, the patch is out adding a number of option items, as well as eliminating the 30fps cap. Not giving them too much credit though, since it shouldn't have happened in the first place. :shadedshu: For me, on a 980Ti it has run very smooth all maxxed out at 58fps. Fairly good storyline so far.

What impressed me the most is the devs actually made an attempt at a New Orleans accent (which is very similar to New York mixed with Boston accent) on a number of characters (I don't know how that would work out in languages other than English). A number of others got straight up Southern accents, which is out of place normally....except I understand it is a fantasy game so they are forgiven.
