What are you playing?

I only stay away from the kill/fetch bounties,their only use is XP grinding.

I do them all. Doing all the side quests like that allowed me to see and experience even more of the world, and can result in artifact finding along the way, as well.

Witcher 3 expansions > Far Cry 4, Blood & Wine especially but they're both excellent stories with music to match.

Still having a lot of fun in Yakuza 0.

Totally agreed on W3 and its expansions being much better than any FC game. Just needed to change the gaming environment for a few weeks. I will try to replay W3 in the game+ mode in order to finish it again and then go to the expansions. Btw, I got a very nice ending in the main story of W3, so I am happy for the play as a whole.

Spoiler: Only a bad decision

My only bad decision was to be neutral in the political matters as it resulted in some bad things that happened after the war ended.

The Witcher 2 is also a great game. Not so open worldly like TW3 but still an amazing story driving experience. I also tried TW1 but man that was a throwback in time. Best to at least try them in chronological order so you can feel the progress (for instance in TW2 you can't climb random places).

@amit_talkin you mentioned that your playing Forza 4. How is it?

I have been trying to get some actual review to this game for a long time, so ideas on Reddit but that is it. Most youtubers reviews are garbage.
How do you feel the game, how much farming is involved, hows the graphics? hows the multiplayer? tell me about it please

I am playing it on PC so I am providing opinion for the same here.
Game is great, like I daily spend almost 5 hours on this on. Specially if You have friends to play with, fun is endless.
Grinding has not much impact on gameplay because there are cheaper cars which can be tuned and upgraded to match with any costly car You might be grinding for.
Graphics are great, You might have already seen videos on Youtube regarding that. Multiplayer is great too! In short, game is worth to buy imo. Add my gamertag "Amit The Great". I will stream for You on mixer if You want to see the gameplay and features.

I played the Witcher series in the proper way, 1 then 2 then 3. So, I saw the great progress in a famous genre both from a tech and a story aspect. A trilogy that will be a reference in gaming history fro decades, no matter what else will come later. The 1st one is story heavy, the 2nd one is heavier in fighting and the last one is simply epic, being very good or great in almost all aspects, highlights being the story, the artistoc approach and the rpg parameters, while the fighting is just a matter of taste and choices (one can give more emphasis in attack, in signs or potions & bombs).

I found the arges cyclop location some time ago.the mission was unavailable but it suddenly popped up just now.it did not make for such an impressive fight cause cyclops are slow,their attack are predictable after you've fought one and they're the easiest of the mytical creatures to kill.

i only liked the 3rd witcher. the 1st was a bit boring, the second was good, but never got around to finishing it. The 3rd was incredible. One of the best games i've ever played

this looks fantastic

Just finished Bayonetta on Normal and killed my Steelseries Stratus XL in process (I'll post a teardown and repair soon).
So, since I have no more gamepad, I have to play w/ KB/Mouse. I've decided to do an achievement hunt on the original Bioshock 2. I was really surprised to see that it works 200 times better than Remastered version (no glitches, no crashes, no bugs, no problems with settings and UI).

this looks fantastic

I've seen this trailer before and I highly doubt that "built by one person" has any ground to it (just add voice actors and you already have more than 1), but it looks cool.
I really like that the old school "kill'em'all" game style is making a big comeback. I don't think there was anything decent since painkiller, up until Hard Reset redux and Shadow Warrior.
I should probably put it on my wishlist, before I forget.

1st one was cool when it just got released. Seems a bit dull by today's standards, but at the time it was revolutionary. I used to like the old timing-based combat system. Would've been cool if they incorporated timings into higher difficulties of Witcher 2 and 3. Also, potions and combat preparation was a lot more critical. CDPR dropped all of that just to make it more appealing to mainstream.
BTW, this game was developed using Aurora engine: the same crap that powered old NWN titles.

trying hard in Blackout, cuz it s a few days for free and I love it. I find it much more fast pace than PUBG. The visibility of other players is very good, unlike Ring of Elysium in witch you almost don not see the other players.

I promised to myself that I will jump on Anthem first day at launch. No more reviews, no more haters etc....i am getting it and playing it.

Playing these days Blackout i can definitely tell shooters are not that much for me, at least not competitive ones. There are people that aim and move very well and it takes so long t get to this level, battle royals i find them amazing,. but so hard! This way a more soft killing mobs type of game will be more for me.
I now for a fact that none of my friends will buy it, so if you guys wanna join for co-op fun i am so interesting.


But seriously, Blackout is the king of battle royals. The player visibility is very good, and the sound is exceptional! I had to do many mods and changes to hear the players movement in PUBG without destroying my ears. In Blackout i don't even need headsets. My sound system is enough for perfect hearing of the enemy movement and gun shoots direction.
Blackout is a very polished game, Treyarch did an amazing job

Couple of nice Odyssey shots

bears are mighty powerful.an alpha wolf doesn't stand a chance against an alpha bear even with +100% health/+50% damage buff it goes down fast.a tamed aplha bear with a health/damage buff can easily kill a mercenary on its own.

I just managed 15 minutes of the 1 Shot Resident Evil 2 demo, before I died a horrible death. Actually, I'm glad I died when I did, since survival horror scares me to death.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

Mind-blowing game. This is the very first LoZ game for me. Never played the series and now I see that it's extremely legendary and amazing. Brilliant level design, cool bosses, and puzzles that are tough but rational at the same time. Absolutely lovely game, its isolation and atmosphere reminds me of Metroid series. Now I can turn my back on tomb raider for good, I have Zelda series now

Never played OoT but when I played and finished Twilight Princess for the first time a couple years back now, I was just as pleasantly surprised as you in finding how enjoyable the LoZ game was and I assumed the other entries in the franchise are just as good, if not better. To be fair, I have played The Minish Cap before on GBA and I did find that very fun as well but I never got anywhere far because either my GBA or the cartridge had some error and I could not progress outside a certain area.

Finally got platinum on God of War last weekend. Been playing Divinity Original Sin 2 on PC and Bravely Default on 3DS since. And thanks to @Drone it seems I'll be adding Ocarina of Time 3D to my 3DS must try list.

Found Xur at The Rig on Titan, paid 97 Legendary Shards to him & got this roll from him. I'm blessed. ^^

people who created odyssey's skill and combat system deserve a lot of praise. despite progressing very slowly through the main quest,I've had nothing but a great time with this game.

Been playing mostly Void Destroyer 2 and getting into the late game of my Sword of the Stars playthrough. I've been taking screen shots on and off for some time but finally got around to looking through and uploading some. So there's a mix of old and new in the below.

Void Destroyer 2 looks better in movement IMHO, damn is it a fun game. The overworld (zoomed out wireframe view) is like the grand RTS view, there's another closer RTS view as well and then ship view/pilot view. Pretty cool how it all works together and also how so much is happening in this universe that makes it feel alive and busy with or without you. Not the most detailed in that respect, but good enough to be really really fun.

SOTS could really use AA (and a better engine w/higher res textures), the only one that seems to work is FXAA, but it blurs the text too much. I'll be damned if this still isn't my favorite 4X with combat, and really I've shelved all the rest at this point while I play this instead, having a blast!

Finished Yakuza 0 after 102 hours game time/145 logged on steam. The value of it blew me away and I see the remake of the first game is launching in February for a scant $18. I think that's going to be the first game I've preordered since Battlefield 4 (regrets). I really want them to port the whole series.

Sega is starting to impress. Alpha Protocol, then the Valkyria Chronicles port, now the Yakuza 0 port.


Next on the agenda is to test combat balancing in Consortium 1.26 beta which will be pushed to main branch soon. Developer backported combat balance from Consortium: The Tower to Consortium in order to address one of the main complaints about Consortium.

Been playing Resident Evil 2 Remake, having a fun*hard* time managing resources as I am playing quite blind and being a idiot, didn't really manage my items efficiently and being a bit wasteful..lesson well learnt. About half way through Leon story.
