What are you playing?

Playing a heavily modded Kingdom Come Deliverance. It makes Henry look plumb real.

400 hours of Xenoblade Chronicles X and still fascinated by Mira system. It has double sunrise like on Mercury lol ok

Back in the 2017 Ze1dahead discovered a new technique called target assisted jump. When you target an enemy at some very special moment you can jump in your Skell higher.
[target an enemy and transform into vehicle mode->boost against the wall as high as you can->jump->draw weapon->transform->jump->holster weapon->transform->jump->draw weapon->transform->jump->holster weapon->transform->jump] Fail at least one of these and gravity will get ya.
And I was like seriously? How on Earth can I repeat it and get it right. In order to climb Cavernous Abyss in Sylvalum without Flight Module I decided to give it a go. Boy, it was painful. Getting timings and angles right. But then I managed to do it. Achieving this gives some super feeling lol. It was crazy and I like it. I'm at Chapter 7 and reached areas which I'll need to reach only after Chapter 10.

Wicky, Elma and co staring into abyss. Thanks to Ze1dahead for his technique, it makes playing XCX even more interesting

Muuuuuuuuch more better than I thought and it has replay value, need to replay it soon.

I'mplaying a bit of Bright Memory. It's $6.99 on GOG for an "in-development" (same as Steam Early Access) game. It's a fast-paced, visually impressive and bug-free (so far) title. It is from an Indie out of China. What I was impressed with right off the bat are the fairly decent Graphics options, and Keyboard controls that mostly make sense. The only downside there is that while In Development keyboard mapping is not alowed. It has very positive reaction both on GOG and Steam. It's a little arcadey, but still fun. It's a bit like Crysis mixed with other things (I haven't figured out what yet).

ATM GTA IV, but I changed my avatar since it's soon time for Mirror's Edge & Catalyst, so damn underrated gems.

I loved both of them. Mirrors Edge is great!

Catalyst is the only game I've ever pre-ordered and I haven't regret that.

e: Fell in love when tried the beta. :3

I have to admit, this looks compelling. I'd rather wait for the whole game though.

Having another go through of FO4 and doing things a different way round this time

Totally understand. I rarely buy any games until finished with 3 exceptions: Die Young, on Steam, because it is so high quality and the dev team is super active, responsive, and actually skilled. Iron Harvest, which will be on GOG and Steam. The premise looks so good, and the team has some history, so I actually backed them on Kickstarter. And then this game, Bright Memory.

What’s finished so far is short, but is remarkably polished. I figured what the heck, it’s $7! But wanting a full length when the EA is so short is a totally understandable feeling!

Company of Heroes 2. Over 500 hours already. Can't wait to see what it looks like with my new upgrade in another week to 10 days.

Thing is, I don't do episodes. Been burned in the past by devs/companies either shutting down or simply not giving a piss to finish the series. HalfLife 2 anyone? Been waiting for Episode 3 for more than 10 years. That's just one example of course. There are many more. As for Final Fantasy 7 Remake being in episodes, hard pass. When the full game is done ok, not until then.

Back on Topic;
I'm currently playing through this;

Schala Edition

This hack alters events of the game so that Schala is rescued as part of the normal course of events

Version 2.0 is out and it is really very cool! Without giving any spoilers, there are so many changes made that are really interesting, beyond what the title suggests. For example, anyone who found Frog's lingual style charming and enjoyable will be quite pleased when they visit 600AD. So far, my very favorite way to play Chrono Trigger! However, TheGreatBen(Hi Ben) & Mauron are working on another mod of the same game which promises to be equally or even more astounding. It's a great time to be a fan of 8/16bit game mods!

What will your new monitor and setup be spec wise? Just curious.

On topic: I am binge playing Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers expansion about 5-10 hours per day. Luckily for me I am getting 90 fps on my 90hz gtx 1070 laptop on maxed out settings (not in cities but in dungeons where it matters), not a single thing lowered. Pretty awesome. I'm loving it so far.

Man.... I waited too long to pick up Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I don't know what it was... I appreciated it when it came out, but I never got into it like I thought I would. I kind of ran through the main storyline and that was it. I remember being more concerned with that Fallout 4 life... I was also only rockin an RX 580 back then. To me, that's one of the best in it's class... still is! But... running SotTR, even at 1080/60, it is night and day between that and an RTX 2060. Maybe that's part of why. Performance wasn't bad but it did involve some compromises and even then, it struggled. Now, I pretty much max everything and I have to say that the game looks gorgeous and runs great.

In spite of my excitement and satisfaction with Metro's RTX GI implementation, not feeling SotTR's RTX shadows. Number one, the visual differences are much more minor, something approximating the difference between 'high' and 'ultra' shadows... or maybe somewhere between that on the low end and BTAO-HBAO+ on the high end. From the very start there was stuttering and I said 'no way.' I didn't upgrade my GPU to have the same game still stutter lol

No regrets grabbing the season pass on sale... I think it was like $50 and now there is so much DLC to break into. I think it's actually running for $40 right now.

But I digress. Point is I'm enjoying it a lot more this time around. Some of you may have noticed that I'm what you might call a manogomous gamer. When I don't have "my game" anymore, I may try a few out, but they don't stick. And then I find that one game that I just latch onto and play exclusively for long stretches... pretty much until I exhaust it of all gameplay value. I play fewer games this way, but all of the time I spend playing games is more satisfying for me. It's nice to have a game around that you just know you can pick up any time and be immersed. Maybe I'm just too busy now... if I kill too much time playing games that I wind up not being into, that bothers me. Gotta maximize. Life is to short to spend it playing shitty games, or even games that are just okay.

Now, I realize that's a nicer way of saying I'm overly obsessive with my games, but still, I think this is gonna be the next one I go in on. Might as well, since I've got all of the DLC. Question is whether I will be able to find all of the collectibles. I'll try... but not on my first playthrough. Maybe on number 3 I'll consider it. Gotta prioritize the challenge tombs.

Speaking of being busy... as I say this and dive in, I am 7 hours away from waking-up to start a workday that will go for at least 10 hours. Wish me luck! In my very early adulthood it was partying and girls that kept me up at night. People used to joke about me being a future 27 club member. Now at age 28, I just stay up binging on video games like SotTR before I go to work my real job like a normal person! I sure showed them.

In news today: Star Wars Battlefront 2 is unplayable. MOre about this here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Battlefront-2-won-t-launch/td-p/6580204
There is NO permanent solution.

And if you do get it o play ...well, depends on your luck and if you are on the winning side. Tonight i wasn't.

Let me just say that we never recuperated from 19 / 84. And I left the match after almost 2 hours!!! No side was winning. For some reason we lost the attack always, but we won the defense....unless you can hit 2-0 ...no one wins at 1 -1. The match just starts all over and over and over...

Resident Evil 2

Fallout 76 (Waiting for new updates, getting leveled in meantime)
Project Gorgon (Indie MMORPG, Developed by a guy on the EQ, Asheron's Call & Star Trek Online team)
Steam Backlog - Probably start with The Witcher 3 (never played all the way through)

 

[Cvrk]

Probably start with The Witcher 3 (never played all the way through)

If all is good thinking for 2020 to give Witcher 3 another go myself. Right now with a extremely powerful computer you can 4k play it with all the visual mods that you can get your hands on. It should look very good and as for the rest well...it's Witcher.
This is the very cool part about this game, unlike Skyrim. It has this insane good story and amazing voice acting and with mods that keep it up to date you can probably pick it up 2-3 years from now on and it will feel like the best game up to date.
NPC movement and reactions have not changed. Lots of things have not changed in the gaming industry. With the Witcher 3 and lots of mods this game will be fresh for years to come.

Roller coaster Tycoon 2

Ah such an excellent game! Still on GOG!

An update borked a game so bad it won't run.. I'd say that's a surprise, but it's EA, so it just isn't. Still Wow!
