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. 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. 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.
Is it more like Mafia (the game that just kept giving) or is it more like Mafia 2 (felt small)?


Played some Big Pharma and Payday 2 today. Not really sure what I'm going to play the rest of the day.

Tekken 5 ended up pissing me off, i can murder higher ranks yet the lower ranks are much harder? the AI in that game is incredibly poorly balanced.

I have been playing Final Fantasy VI Advance all week. Checking some walkthroughs and plot discussions with minimal spoilers, I'm probably close to the end already. I'm having a little bit of a dilemma though as I always have with any JRPG game; I'm not sure whether to go straight to the final location/boss or finish all side quests which involves hours of grinding to fight the optional, super-difficult bosses. In any case, I should finish this game pretty quick cause I do want to beat another game (either Bioshock or PoP: Warrior Within) before I start redeeming and (hopefully) beating Beyond Good and Evil.

So far in terms of land area, it feels like Mafia. I only put in two hours and 20 minutes last night, but it took that long just to lead to the event which causes Lincoln to take on the Italian Mafia. If they spent that long just developing the background, I expect a game more like Mafia than Mafia 2.

MadWorld

What can I say .. It's extremely cruel and unnecessarily brutal. I've never seen anything like this, I don't even know if it's a good or bad thing to say about a video game. Postal, FEAR, Manhunt and Mortal Kombat games are like kindergarten after playing MadWorld.

Seriously I dunno if devs are really sick and not right in the head or they were just having fun. Such extreme and shocking gameplay. Realism in physics, collision, combat, animations, blood and level design made this even more brutal. After playing the very fist level I still can't believe it :roll:

I have been addicted to Grim Dawn lately. Was part of the Alpha/Beta contributors and gave up on it due to lacking content.
Came back to it due to an expansion pack release call "The Crucible" and wow it is really good now. POE/Diablo III/Sacred Level of good. They have really made this game into a finished product with a ton of character optimization.

Grim Dawn is ARPG Heaven :) I love it too. The multiclassing and the itemization... the numbers .... :love:

What classes / skill set are you playing with?

I KNOW RIGHT! .....you go up, and you go down jumping on those rocks. It's confusing.
BTW this was a hard challenge


I managed to get out of hell. Now i'm back on Mars, and everything is a mess. Got a new weapon to, on my way back.
Wonder can you get all weapons upgrades in a single walkthrough ? I fell like the game is about to finish and i only have very few upgrades

What classes / skill set are you playing with?

I started with sorcerer (demo/arcane) and played to Ultimate Difficulty - Then played Druid (Shaman/Arcane) to Ultimate - and finally played Conjuere (Pet Build). All my ulitmate level characters are pretty much in act 1. So far my druid is my favorite character. He just hits so freaking hard. My dual pistol sorcerer is fun also but pretty squishy. What do you play?

What do you play?

I've been dabbling in loads of Nightblade variations (a Phantasmal blades build, and adding Soldier, Occultist, a hard melee and a damage over time variation) but most fun I've had with caster setups. Arcanist/Shaman is nice, but the best results so far from Shaman/Occultist > devouring swarm / bleeds and chaos damage plus a huge amount of debuffs and it is epic win :D Killed the Logglorrean boss in about 20 seconds on Elite Veteran and almost at the end of Ultimate with him.

Ultimate act 1 is where your builds get truly tested. It's quite a challenge taking a build into Act 2 Ultimate but once you get there, you can safely keep improving from that point onwards. Then at the beginning of the last act, there's another 'wall' to pass, and you'll need heavy bleed/vitality and chaos resist, stun reduction etc. to survive. For damage, you'll probably notice that you can't keep stacking, at some point the real damage numbers come from resistance reduction more than anything else. I love the way those mechanics progress and become ever deeper.

But yeah... Shaman is very OP for many different setups :D

My druid is a melee build using 2H and primal strike and can tank really well on top of good AoE damage. Sorcerer is huge damage and big AoE, typical glass cannon...Best to run in groups with some tanks. If either of you want to do some crucible runs I would be down for that over the weeked, maybe even tonight. Steam handle is same name.

My druid is in act 2 Ult. Sorcerer is in act 1 Ult. Seem all the gear I found for my sorcerer was for a druid so I had to make that. Have 3 pieces of Ultos gear. +3 to all Shaman and +1 to Arcane...plus I think Primal strike has a crazy +8 or more.

My sorcerer is still using a pistol from lvl30 at llvl74..lol still does the job, more about skill effects than raw damage for sorcerer. Also devotions proc like crazy in this build.

MadWorld

What can I say .. It's extremely cruel and unnecessarily brutal. I've never seen anything like this, I don't even know if it's a good or bad thing to say about a video game. Postal, FEAR, Manhunt and Mortal Kombat games are like kindergarten after playing MadWorld.

Seriously I dunno if devs are really sick and not right in the head or they were just having fun. Such extreme and shocking gameplay. Realism in physics, collision, combat, animations, blood and level design made this even more brutal. After playing the very fist level I still can't believe it :roll:

I remember playing that, and it was 'brutal' but I didn't think it was that bad imo. Compares to things like Postal, not makes them look childish.
