Metro: Last Light. for the 5th or 6th time. don't have any new games to play.

Edit:
Also wanted to know how much difference in performance (at 1080P) between 7770 and 270X.

I just finished COD:Ghost (Got on Sale). I mainly got it because I seen previews with aliens in it and well.. Kick me in the ass the story doesn't have aliens.. and it had a horrible ending... I knew I shouldn't have bought it, but on the plus side the under water and space parts where nicely done. Over all it's not a bad single player game if you can get it on sale..

Yesterday I started Metro: Last Light and by far it's a better game. I started Borderlands 2, but stopped because I knew it would consume me.. lol I grind way to much on those types of games and I really don't have the time right now. hehehe

Thanks for reminding me about CoD Ghosts(also bought on sale) I should really try to finish it. I think I am about half way thru it.

I believe later this month Sleeping Dogs gets a re-release with the Definitive Edition. Yeah, basically they are getting in on the redux bandwagon too. Still, it's a fun, immersive game, that I think I will play again (Did the whole thing Mouse/Keyboard as I always do on every game...don't understand the hate for them) as soon as I finish SC Blacklist, which I'm playing now. Finished Dishonored last week with high chaos...I'd like to go back and do it low chaos too....they just made it SO fun to kill people in inventive ways in Dishonored! After that, start on my second 100 hours of State of Decay....

I need to go back and play Dishonored again. Love that game.

Does State of Decay really take that long!?! Maybe I won't play it then. Lol.

No, State of Decay does not take that long. I've had 2 and a half playthroughs. You CAN go slowly and make it last quite awhile though. I like to go through all the missions and side missions, get to every safe house and do all base upgrades and find every resource (oh, and kill all the zombies I can) befor hitting the final chapter.

Going through my last run of Metro 2033 Redux on Ranger Hardcore Survival mode. I lost stealth on Front Line via my usual method. The guards patrolling the catwalk in the first part saw the corpses I left while going for the scoped Tihar in the train. I always scavenge it to use on the guy on the train tracks in Depot to avoid the colossal on rails firefight, which is brutal on Ranger modes, and kinda pointless since it can be easily avoided.

I'd love it if you could stop and/or jump out the cart once you run over the guy warning them, but they didn't give us that option. Hell, you can't even hide corpses. I didn't feel like reloading the checkpoint when my stealth got blown in Front Line, which I'd only have done to save ammo, so I said fuck it and went loud with the Shambler from a good cover spot.

The AI on Ranger modes seem more keen at spotting things, but they're pretty dumb combat wise. If they only hear you and you're not shooting at them with a long range weapon, they just slowly walk toward you instead of taking cover, and they don't even toss grenades. Between the new lock boxes and ammo from stashes and corpses, I made out pretty good. Ranger modes are always a bit more fun, but despite Redux adding some new combat scenarios, overall it's easier.

I'll probably break down and get LL Redux though, if nothing else just to be able to play it on Survival mode. That and the that fact that it's been quite a summer drought for me on PC, and I'm getting bored.

What I seem to remember from the oiginal, you can get a Helsing in the shops near the cart when it is time to get on board the train the underground movement is trying to get you on in the commie station. Plus, it is possible to make the guys fighting you in "Depot" duck by throwing a grenade (since I was usually required to do since I often f'ed up the taking down of the sentry).

Believe me if not for this thread I may have never picked them back up either so my thanks to the o/p. One thing I will say is 245 frames hardly seems like enough :laugh:

The last game in recent memory(and I have pretty much every AAA title out) that I actually enjoyed enough to finish.

btarunr · Sep 9, 2014

I gave up playing Rage back when it launched when I found the initial missions too annoying. Now suddenly it's more interesting.

Guitar · Sep 9, 2014

I got Rage free when it came out, it was actually decent. Not great, but I'd say not bad to play through once. I beat it relatively quick, 14 hours or so?

Ahhzz · Sep 9, 2014

Trying State of Decay.. ran a few minutes last night (to the first save), looks ok. I'll run a little more tonite, see where it goes. I'm enjoying Firefall a good bit, a little less lately, so Decay makes a decent distraction. Not sure what happened to Warframe.... they introduced the pets, made it a pain to swap between a pet and anything else, made it almost impossible to get rid of one and empty a spot (altho, the recent patch enabled a 25.000 penalty for "commending" the pet to Lotus).... I don't know.... it's just lost something.... *summons up The Muppets: A Christmas Carol* "When love is gone, when love is gone...."

Once I saw the NV scoped Tihar in the train at the start of Front Line, I saw no reason to buy an appropriate silenced weapon to take that guy out, negating the need to do the battle or waste grenades as well.

I'm at the start of Alley on this Ranger Hardcore Survival run, and aside from being down to 10:00 on filter time, it's been pretty easy. There are plenty of filters in what's ahead to last through it though.

Guitar · Sep 10, 2014

Just finished Sleeping Dogs. Took me just over 14 hours or so I'd say. Had 13.7 hours past two weeks and was probably an hour in at that point. It was good I guess. Still don't see the big hype, definitely not something I'd replay. Was buggy for me as well. Story was decent, voice acting was actually surprisingly good, but driving was pretty bad, the fighting got old (I'm not one for remembering combos and all that), and the shooting was very generic. The side missions were a lot of the same...I busted up a lot of the security camera places but again it was mostly all the same. The hacking was really lame too after the first two times.

Onto something else I guess. State of Decay probably.

RejZoR · Sep 10, 2014

Finished The Walking Dead Season 2 yesterday. Man, they leave same open ended stuff like in the bloody series. And all the difficult decisions i had to make...

rtwjunkie · Sep 11, 2014

Well, despite my intentions, I got sidetracked and just finished playing Alpha Protocol for the 3rd time. It really got a bum rap, as it's a very enjoyable game. My only complaint is it really could have used another mission city or two with all associated missions in each, because by the time you get all your important skills leveled up, and have enough money to get all the right equipment combos, you're either right before or in the endgame. Would have liked things fleshed out some more. But I really wouldn't change anything else in the game.

Played it through a few months ago, it wasn't as bad as people claimed. The pop rocket shotgun was pretty much all I used the whole game. The DLC adds about 2 hours of content.

Really, it was not a bad game at all! It's sales suffered from it's intial coding and bug problems. Those were fixed, and it became pretty fun. However, it never recovered from the trouncing that it took in the press and reviews. I actually didn't play it when it came out...I waited 8 months, and am glad for it.

Just got Assassin's Creed from GOG. Wish whole series was there

Guitar · Sep 12, 2014

I started up State of Decay. It's actually pretty cool, would be AWESOME if it was coop. I am just under 3 hours in, unfortunately I killed of Maya by going out on my own and getting caught in a zombie horde with a feral zombie lol. It's actually challenging to kill the zombies which is nice but the game seems like it has a LOT to it which doesn't necessarily suit my play style because I don't read all the tips and such. But I feel like I'll spend a fair amount of time on it.
