What are you playing?

Just bought Defense Grid 2 and played through first 2 levels. So far i'm loving it, especially the new graph which shows what medals you reach in real-time and also how you fare against other players closest to you on the ranking chart. Should keep me busy for quite some time until Alien: Isolation is released. Then i'll play that :D
 
this does a good job explaining the Nemesis system in Shadow of Mordor.

 
I'm currently back in the 80s, playing GTA Vice City :P

BTW , what do you guys think how many GB of free space should I leave on my SSD for GTA V?
 
80GB should be enough.

I really liked Vice City Stories.
 
Grand Theft Auto V on PSN requires 36GB.

The Last of Us requires 26GB and the remastered edition (PS4) requires 40GB.
 
80GB should be enough.

I really liked Vice City Stories.

Wow thats really a lot, I Thought about 60, then I will have to move some of my other steam games to another disk.
Then it will be the largest game in size at the moment I think?

these next-gen ports are pretty big. 60GB will probably be fine.

Rockstar put out a lot of content for GTA Online and single player DLC is still rumored.

Yes it does, I posted it in my SoM thread, but few took interest in it. Maybe now that a lot of skeptics have been converted toward liking this game, they'll take it more seriously.

I'm currently playing Shadow of Mordor. My next most anticipated game is The Evil Within, esp since I was counting on it as my summer drought breaker, but got pushed back.

Kinda shocked at the 4GB VRAM recommended sys req for TEW though. That pretty much makes it clear SoM is better optimized than some people are giving it credit for.
 
I think Direct3D 11 allows them to move the textures entirely to the GPU. That's why VRAM requirements are going up...quickly. It was also inevitable that memory requirements will go up quickly when games turn 64-bit removing a nagging barrier that has been there for over a decade.

I'm not convinced GTA5 will only take 60 GB space. Max Payne 3 uses 32 GB and it's a linear game. GTA4 used about the same if memory serves. Rockstar is big on textures and detailed models.


I've been playing a little of everything lately and haven't really got sucked into anything. I did finish The Bridge and Safecracker though. Former sucks, latter was pretty good. I started Fallout (the original) but I can't get myself to really play it.

Just started the Elder Scrolls Online...not bad. Sniper Elite 3 is just flat out kick ass. Game until you die!!!!!
 
I am a 49 yo retired military/disabled vet but still think you should game until you die attitude!
 
Fallout 2. Again.
 
always my problem with games is that I have lots of games but can't really get myself to play and at least beat them like I used to when I was younger

Just quit Diablo 3 for the second time after playing and enjoying the new expansion for a couple of months(second time I quit this game)

Now I'm trying to find a game to play regularly, almost everything I like to play are early access games and I don't wanna play them yet.

Dota 2 = always my last resort, followed by CS:GO, I might play 2k15 once it releases
 
Fallout 2. Again.

Truly one of the classics and for me was addictive as hell. By the time I hit New Reno and took out a couple of crime bosses I had so much loot that I couldn't carry it all between my companions and the cars trunk. I had to store it in the dead crime boss's cabinets.
 
I'm looking forward to the release of Dreamfall Chapters later this month...can't wait to finish the series after 14 years! In the meantime, still have to finish The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. It's pretty good so far, and it does NOT hold your hand. You have to figure almost everything out like a real person. Both games on the great GOG btw. :D
 
I didn't know Ethan Carter was out, I'll have to pick that up when I get some cash.
 
A few weeks ago I found my Commodore 64 with a tape-station as I where cleaning up the attic.
Only game that i could get working was Commando, all the tapes where eaten up be insects, I believe - man the graphics sucks ;) - but hey, it was actually funny playing Commando with joystick and silly 8 bit sound :roll:

Yeah, the C 64 was my first computer with a whopping 64 KB of memory. That's where I got my screen name from. Everyone I knew would say it had 64K memory. iirc I got it around 1984. I had the cassette tape drive too. I later got the 180 KB 5 1/4 inch floppy disk drive. My favorite game was F-15 Strike Eagle. Did you have a 300 Baud modem for dialing up BBSs?

No - I didnt have a modem at that time - but later I got the C128 with 1.44 MB floppy drive (but only 720 KB where actually accessible - as far as I remember)
You know what - that means we are getting old :wtf: :laugh:

I'm switching between The Sims 3 (all 20 EPs) and Space Run. My computer...the game clock is sooooooo slooooooowwww (like takes minutes for one night to pass--game can lock up for at least a minute on occassion) on The Sims 3 so even though I want to go back to it, I might have to wait until after I get new innards for my computer. :(
 
I just started nosgoth, a range vs melee asymmetrical team deathmatch game. Vampires vs humans. Tons of fun.
