What are you playing?

Flattery gets you nowhere.

How much did you pay for Diablo 3? I was thinking of picking it up since I was a huge fan of Diablo 2, but decided no Diablo 3 because of no Necromancer. Now that they have a Necromancer, want to play it.

As for Silent Hill, good catch. But I heard that the changes done in the HD version over the original for #2 was no good. You should check to see if there is none HD version!

D3 is heavily discounted atm. 20$ for base game + RoS expansion (must have pretty much). Necro is another 10$

 

[sepheronx]

Might be a bit more in the great white north. But I will check it out. Is this discounted through battle.net?

Diablo was 7.50 (GBP) on Blizzard.

Necromancer is in the game..

 

[dj-electric]

Yes, and the website itself of course

 

[Vayra86]

New look - because in Guild Wars 2, that is what end game really comes down to Looking cool

For those in the know... running a Firebrand healing build right now, with 100% boon duration which basically means I can run Quickness 24/7 and spam like mad. Great fun to play

No more "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" ? Is it not that cool anymore? What a delusion...

Well, despite very high sales numbers and good user reviews, it has not quite gained traction here at TPU. Whenever anything has been talked about it has been in the official thread here in the gaming section.

This is mostly what happened to TW3 as well, with most of the discussion happening in the official thread.

 

[erixx]

That is ok, but this is just "What are you playing?" (and not "What are you buying" btw )
So if not many post here that they are playing DEliverance.... is a sign of what you say: no traction....
(I like the looks but not the scripts so i returned it)
thanks.

I am playing TT Isle of Man today, it is a big step forward for motocycling games (needs polishing)

Enjoy!

I'll play deliverance, but wanna give it time.

playing Black Desert Online & a bit of Warframe.

Playing rainbow 6 siege as it was on sale in ubisofts spring sale

R6 has improved a lot since lauch! (and I do not mean the Tom-Clancy-realism-1st zombis :-/

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Consortium: The Tower...finding an achievement and reporting a lot of bugs.

Space Engineers...completely filled up the vein miner and the vein lifter with silver ore (something like 14+ million kg worth of it). It all worked better than expected:

Spoiler: pics

extracting miner:

cruising back to base to unload:

94 MPH and 89 days worth of battery charge. Could go a lot faster but...safety first!

These two are literally perpetual. As the little one unloads, it charges off the batteries on the big one. The big one charges off of all those solar panels during the day.

ya im skipping outbreak i think never played a R6 game before so im doing situations to get acquainted with gameplay.

 

[windwhirl]

Left 4 Dead 2 (stress relief ) and Hyper Light Drifter (already finished the main story and New Game+, but I just love to drift around)...

 

[Kovoet]

Attention to detail in Ghost recon I love

 

[Keullo-e]

Tried Megarace2. Hell yes, I loved that game 20 years ago and it still rocks!

 

[rtwjunkie]

I got distracted from GOAT and have furiously been playing Sherlock Holmes games, completing Crime and Punishment and halfway through The Devil’s Daughter on Steam.

Throw in some Testament of Sherlock Holmes, which I have on GOG, and you have my seductive reasoning being taxed to the maximum.

 

[cucker tarlson]

Origins will get an update to change some gameplay parameters, would like to see it implemented in more games.

 

[Frick]

Spending way too much time in Space Engineers. Built a new mobile BOO (Base Of Operations) today:

Spoiler: big pic

34 x solar panels
3 x Arc Furnace
2 x Refineries
1 x Assembler
12 wheel drive + steering
5x5 drilling apparatus (like 150m drilling depth) with 9x5 grid of drills
squats to landing gear for super parking brake
>50 m/s cruise speed

I really wish I could build this in survival. The resource cost is going to be astronomical.


I don't think I even did the Lunatic Cultist? I remember killing the Moon Lord and apparently you have to go through the Cultists to get to the Moon Lord. If you don't have them, I seriously recommend the Vampire Knives. Life-steal is so OP.

Edit: I loaded up the game to try to refresh my memory and...well:

Spoiler: inventory

1. Everything has defense +4
2. I have two sets of gear in there (one in accessory so I can quick change it): one is biased towards minions and the other is biased towards melee.
3. Yo-yo + vampiric knives are both godly, yo-yo especially combined with the accessory that buffs them. I have the accessory highlighted in the pic. Y U so gud? It's *ranged* melee so you can hit a great number of enemies while they can't hit you. Yo-yo for max damage, vampiric knives to heal, repeat.
4. Remember how defense works in the game. If you have +6 defense and enemy does 10 damage, only 4 actually impacts you. If enemy only does 5 damage, you get only 1 damage (the minimum). Even with high defense, you can still have death from a thousand cuts. I have two accessories to counter that: the celestial thing that summons stars to attack on damage and another accessory that causes an extended invicibility on hit.

All combined, even the Moon Lord is pretty easy having built an arena to avoid attacks. Granted, I haven't played much of the game on Expert difficulty.

I just suck at dodging I guess. I have allthem things. The vampire knifes do so little damage compared to The Chaingun.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

It's more about healing than doing damage. It can either slowly raise your health or at least cancel out the damage you're getting (lots of +1s to counter -1s because of defense on both ends). Use potions to buff your healing and recovery which gives you a window to unload your high DPS weapons against him. Once you get low on health again, go back to recovery mode with vampire knives. It's a war of attrition.

Also, creating battle arenas really help. At bare minimum you'll want platforms so you can quickly move horizontally and vertically.

Currently playing through AC:Origins now, did first 2 targets and now progressing further.
What sort fps people were getting playing this? I would thought i could run the game at ultra with no dips but i am getting in populated areas.

Ryzen + Vega + DX11, that's probably the reason.
When the fps dips in populated or dense housing, do you see the GPU usage stay same or go lower ?

Recent ubisoft games like watch_dogs 2 or wildlands have amazing looking open world, but they just slaughter cpus. Not only do they need at least 8 threads, they require fast single core and ram at the same time.

Not playing much on the PC atm, CS:GO is basically a given, but other than that one, everything else is on semi-hold.
Tried This War of Mine for an hour or two as it has a free weekend on steam. Unfortunately found it too monotonous for my taste. Don't really feel survival games that much, as it basically all comes down to: get food, get weapons, use them up, repeat. The setting and atmosphere are really on point, but just not my cup of tea.

On the other hand playing a lot of Vita games recently. Finished Demon Gaze a week ago, and Sly Cooper 2 a couple of days ago.
Currently having fun (and frustration) with Salt and Sanctuary. I started that one a long time ago, but had it on hold. Pretty good so far (about 2/3 through), but I would be a lot happier if there was an ingame map of any kind. Simply because of the level design being sub-par at moments and the game being 2D.
Also started Uncharted: Golden Abyss. A great looking title, with lots of cool features that utilize the touchscreen, rear touch pad and gyro. Plus all the good stuf that Uncharted games bring by default.
