What are you playing?

[ShurikN]

Grim Dawn just got it's first expansion, so I got back into it again. A little bit of Overwatch now that the event is live. And will be playing a lot of CSGO, new Dust2 to be precise.

 

[GreiverBlade]

and i thought i was anti pvp .... 2yrs in pve only .... just to notice ....


that even a defeat yield as much as a good pve battle (if not a bit more ....)

of course it's more tactical and active than bot play



and i've found i am more a cruiser/destroyer pvp than battleship/carrier (don't know why but i get better PVE in the later)

yep ... CA/CL and DD ....

even tho i did sink .... that one felt good

Enjoyed my first 2 hours exploring the Plains of Eidolon in Warframe. Gonna play more & take screenshots later~ X3

Here it is~ also hit Mastery Rank 19 after a very slow progress. =w= (lazy to do it)

I did not play Mass Effect Andromeda, i lived it.
And yes it's weekend once again, finally me and my pc we get to have fun once more, in the last hours of the first installment of the new series.
It left overall a very good impression.
I strongly recommend for this game be played at hard difficulty. At first it's a bit hard, but after more than 10 hours nothing can stand in your way.
Your squad mates are there just to draw fire away from you, as they are useless in combat. You literally have to take down every enemy by yourself.
Up until the end i felt very attached to the main character Ryder . Best choice ever was to use the default looks of the female . See sounds amazing and looks even better. Awesome voice acting from Fryda Wolff. And overall i know where the entire budget of the game went.

Everywhere you went, the environment effected the looks of the armor. You can see here the sand /dust if the wind blows the dust or the water/rain moves , making for one immersive experience. Seen this in other games, but it never looked so good as here.

Crazy but super idea that the writers of the game had : a planet built as a machine. A self sustained machine that can create life. The ideal planet that the Initiative set out to find in the first place. A perfect paradise created from the blend of AI + biotics.

The final battle starts, and it was super easy, cuz i did almost all the side-quests ,getting max gear and skills.

I'm goind to miss my Ryder. There was a perfect blend between the face and voice acting. I loved her. Hope to see her soon.

Played some Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster. Both Rebecca and Billy are like half dead 90% of the time .

I'm glad I decided to play on Normal difficulty. If it was Hard, I would've probably quit after 30 minutes.. The supplies are surprisingly limited and the item management makes it even harder. Still, I do enjoy the game (like most RE games) and will definitely complete it.

 

[rtwjunkie]

@Cvrk it would be most excellent if you could add all that to the official ME:A thread!

Thanks for the detailed gameplay experience.

I was thinking of replaying MEA with the female Ryder but I think your pictures of her put me off of doing that.


Playing a lot of War for the Overworld and Consortium: The Tower. Here's a bug video from The Tower that shows one way to leave the roof (of many):

Bug being I'm not supposed to get raped like that. It's already fixed in the current build. This is the longest video I uploaded that I took from the start of the game.

It's still incomplete (like only 1/3 done) and rough around the edges but I'm loving it. Spent about 8 hours playing it yesterday sneak incapacitating 71 guards and 2 squad leaders.

Go back on ME:A thread and look at mine. Totally different. Just take the time on all the features in the creator.

Classy!

But Zero is one of the easiest RE games. The hardest are Code Veronica, REmake, RE2 (on N64) and RE3

I've beat RE3 numerous times years ago and I thought that was much easier

Haven't played those others yet but I'll make time for the first game HD Remaster sometime this year (or early next year) and wait for Capcom to remaster RE2 (and Code Veronica).

RE3 battle against Nemesis in clock tower is extremely tough. Without dodge move it's almost impossible. I wish all Resi games had dodge
They remastered Veronica. I wish they remade RE3.

I remember developers didn't have enough time to complete police station and street levels in RE2 and RE3, plus consoles of that time didn't have enough power to run all that code. I really hope they remake RE3 right after RE2. Carlos in RE3 meant to have more playable levels. He's a kickass character! Capcom were pretty lazy and didn't remake RE2 and 3 for NGC.

 

[ShurikN]

I don't see why they wouldn't commit to a RE3 remaster considering we got 0 and 1, and will soon get 2. Clearly ppl wanna play the old REs.
On the topic I can't seem to get some time invested in RE0 remaster. And I'm more than half way through.

Currently enjoying mining ores & kicking Grineer butts in Plains of Eidolon. xDD Now raising standing points with Cetus to get access to some items.

After over 200 hours in 2 months...I'm going to let Skyrim rest for awhile. I have too many games waiting in the wings. Next up...and already loaded and set up....Fallout 4. I initially booed this title when it first came out because I've never been a fan of 3rd person and I didn't like the way the character was offset to the left but didn't let me scale in further like Fallout 3 and Fallout: NV. Although....after playing around with it for awhile, I've grown more accustom to this, plus I have to admit....it is nice being able to pop into 1st person whenever I want to. Same as Skyrim I suppose...... I will also be passively walking through The Solus Project and KONA in the background. Both of these games I enjoy so much, I prefer to play a half hour or so at a time casually and get as much enjoyment out of them as possible. So...no rush on either of these titles.

I will also mention....I have Norton to thank for being able to play Skyrim for 200 hours. He purchased the game and gave it to me as a gift.

Truly a kind soul....

P.S. Cvrk, Those ME: Andromeda screenshots are amazing!

@Tsukiyomi91 every time someone mentions Warframe i think of only one thing : farming.

The game looks very good, combines shooter elements with rpg . Had and now has an even better story (at least there's some cutscenes) , co-op and it's for FREE. So i get it why this would be one of the most played video games in Steam.
I can not get over the fact that this game seriously revolts around one single thing, witch is farming and grinding your life.
Sadly i understand, cuz i was there... few years ago , i was in the dark side of gaming ,and every day after work and every weekend i just found peace of mind , in mmorpg's clicking on those same mobs and every so little getting better at it.

I like to think i'm no longer in the sad gamer area. From Player Unknown battlegrounds, battle - royal games, that offer fast paced 1 match satisfaction, to enriched single player games + some fun lan parties . I can not find myself coming back to grinding.

Even last year when Guild Wars 2 was finally free. Played it for one day, realizing that this to is just another farm frenzy.
Looking at many recent reviews of Warframe, i can't see that i am actually missing something. Unless someone has not explained it to me well enough.

Yeah, Carlos was pretty cool.

The battle against the Nemesis at the clock tower might be one of the more difficult ones IIRC because the game gave some false hope of accomplishment so first timers probably weren't expecting a boss fight with no place to run and don't have proper weapons and conserve enough ammos.

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

@Cvrk well, if there's one thing about Warframe that people still plays it, is there are tons of ways to play the game, other than collecting, farming, grinding etc. But one apparent one is Fashion Frame, a trend that's now a big deal in Warframe. Lots of Deluxe Skin, Tennogen skins u can buy as a way to support the creators & above all is to look the most badass & flashiest one in the game.

I'm back again....

I realize my opinions of Fallout 4 may be viewed as....well...., but I'm tossing Fallout 4 in to the casual game play heap - yet again. I can't quite put my finger on it...but it's just not 'gritty' enough. Feels too sanitized and entirely too cartoonish, kind of like Borderlands meets RAGE. Not to mention...I ran around for a half hour last night thinking the only thing I'd like to do is shoot that damn dog I paired up with. He kept running ahead of me and I like to be stealthy and go slow. Speaking of going slow and stealthy. The bandits seem to know I'm there before I take one step in the door? So much for stealth. I'm crouched...I take a step...and I'm already hearing the exact same thing I heard in the last building. "Did I hear something".

Another time, I see on the screen my dog located "some bad guys"....and so he runs on ahead around the corner and like an idiot I follow to see where he went. Well...it ended up with me dying and all I saw were a bunch of zombie arms flailing around like ferrets on crack. The way the bandits/raiders/zombies move in this game seems illogical, it almost reminds me of RAGE and dare I say it....I'm not fast enough to line these suckers up. .

I imagine there might be a decent story line hiding in here somewhere so I'll continue to plug away now and then, but as a primary title that really captures my attention....one where I can't wait to get home to play...this one isn't cutting the mustard. I suppose perhaps that as I hit 50, I might be getting out touch with the more modern titles and I do recognize that I'm getting more settled in my ways...so, to others this title might be very attractive, but its just not working for me. I don't hate it though...I like it well enough, but it just seems to be missing that something that Both Fallout 3 and NV have. I've put 700 hours in those two...and I'd still rather play either of those titles than this one. What'd I really like to see is Fallout:NV remastered with some new content....now that would make me a happy camper.

Now, with all of that said...I made my way over to GOG this morning and I've decided to take on a different pursuit.....

P.S. As I was looking over my post for typos....I was thinking to myself...boy, you wouldn't cut it long as a video game reviewer. .

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

First time fishing at the Plains of Eidolon~ got some good catch along with a little special screenshot XDD

 

[EzioAs]

It's so nice for a holiday to fall on a Wednesday. Really takes the stress of work and gives me time to play games.

So, I've finished Resident Evil 0 HD REMASTER. The last 20% or so of the game is surprisingly easier than the rest. I don't remember dying much during these parts. Died twice to the final boss but the second time is really just because I got careless. My third time fighting him was a walk in the park. Overall, a very solid game that doesn't really contain much story and less action than RE3. Just about two people trying to survive and solve puzzles. To those that think they can enjoy that, than I definitely recommend the game. If you've played most of the RE games and was looking to play this for the story, I'd say skip it and just watch some speedruns with cutscenes; you're not missing out on anything much.

I'll agree on sanitized somewhat.. It's a pretty civilized part of the wasteland (relatively speaking). And the story itself is far more future oriented, while the others are more about scraping by just to rebuild basic needs in the Present.

 

[cucker tarlson]

tied to my account.

but gonna do that anyway.

Spoiler: yeah

Niiiceee.....

 

[GreiverBlade]

i'm stuck with it ... and getting good at it .... luckily not much T9-T10 around me /sarcasme ....

so far my best one .... someone even wrote "report that bot HSF" .... it took me 1minute to be able to answer "yeah right, i'm a bot" right after my second torp got a hit .... (still got a compliment and a +1 Karma at the end ahah)
64 launch only 4 hits but 40k dmg was a good middle for a torp dance, on shells ... only 1/3rd hit/dmg buuut i'm still second place


i was chasing after a 1600 base xp (without modifier) for the first mission of the last part for the Oktyabrskaya Revolutsyia event

oh well i will manage to spare 21chf~ by not needing to buy that one

 

[cucker tarlson]

Played first two hours of Andromeda. Plays very well, looks very well, runs very well. I hope there's a lot to explore.
