What are you playing?

[biffzinker]

Still playing Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. I've been meaning to get in more playtime. I went ahead, and played for a couple of hours tonight.

I don't remember it looking so bad on the Xbox though.

Spoiler: Screenshots

Also got a rare achievement not that I'm in it for the achievements.

I don't remember it looking so bad on the Xbox though.

It's a combination of nostalgia and not having tube tv's anymore. I compared PS2 games on my old tube tv with ps2 games on PC that had been remastered...

tube won. makes me kind of sad, cause when my current tube tv dies, i doubt i can find one again.

 

[r.h.p]

Waiting my 24-20 pins motherboard adapter shipped from China and I will play Battlefield 1. i5 4430, 1060 gtx 3gb gddr5, 16 gb ddr3 corsair vengeance.

BF1 is a excellent Multi player game. I find DX 12 works best , you will have to lower your specs though

Well I doubt its the TV. I played PS2 games on my PS3 being backwards compatible and apart from being stretched to an aspect ratio that wasn't intended, the picture was rather similar.

The pixels get larger in most cases when you still play in native res. On a PC though, you often get a higher res or a progressive one that will look 'sharper'. The PC (GPU) can also add its special sauce to make things look nicer, or intends to... but also kills the nostalgia. And then there is integer scaling as well...

I would argue not all tube tv's were equal. I have a very high end one. 40" in size. it weighs about 500 pounds.

Never really played full specs in my whole life since my screens are never good enough to render all the details

Uh my fav now is Rainbow Six Siege

Very close to hitting 1000 Power level for the first time. ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

 

[GreiverBlade]

well 4th day of effective "stay at your home" recommendation (didn't follow ... all the time ... but, "hey! i live alone in mountain, when i go shopping i am alone on the way to the supermarket even for kilometer if i decide to go down on foot and when i reach the place ... i wear gloves and, if needed, mask." i abide by the other recommendations )

sooo when i was working i had a huuuuuuge library of unplayed/less played games i always wanted to find time for ... now's the time ... i guess ...

1st one : The Witcher: enhanced edition, starting from 0

because even Geralt know what to do during an outbreak ...

(and that was absolutely not on purpose ... )

because the game aged well (and run like a charm at 1620p 75hz aside Abigail hairs that behave like if they had a life of their own ... i swear i saw them breathing ... )

still good looking

and aside one little mod i didn't fiddle much with it (unlike Skyrim ... "Mod It Until It Crash!" all the way! or "M.I.U.I.C" for the connoisseur ... )

ooouuuhhh gorgeous .... (well one positive point about the Netflix serie ... )

 

[Chomiq]

Tried Watch Dogs - meh, uninstalled after 20 minutes. Totally not feeling the vibe of this.

 

[TheOne]

A bit of FO76, The Wolf Among US, a bit of FO4, and just played through the RE3 Demo.

 

[SN2716057]

Done with Black Mesa. Overall it was a good experience, played really well with no bugs (except for the Xen kind).
Anyways still need to finish Prey before I start with Dishonored 2. Satisfactory will stay as the in-between.

 

[Chomiq]

Finished RE3 Demo, that engine is something. Character models are amazing.

STILL not over 9000 though.

 

[Sybaris_Caesar]

Still playing Witcher 3. Man the production value is so good. The interaction among the characters mostly. I've been laughing my silly ass off for the past few days at geralt's wise-cracks, having fun with ciri, flirting with triss. Sadly Yennefer is mad with me since I broke up with her. I really felt bad about that. Even her face during the moment is kinda sad. But I didn’t want to two-time her. The only thing spoiler I knew before I started the game was two-timing triss and yen ends badly. Plus I've been kinda committed to Triss since witcher 1.

Torchlight 3 is coming

Sorry for the late response, but where did you see this? I love the Torchlight Games!

EDIT: Nevermind, found the site.. I wonder if they're going to do a GOG release?

 

[Vayra86]

AoW Planetfall broken... meh that was fast. 20 hours?

Doomstack... Impossible difficulty... Nobody touches the Kir'Ko + Psynumbra. The whole army can heal, auto revives on death, my one artillery piece flings a glob of debuff death at 9 range, 1 hex radius (4 debuffs... ) and if I find an Amazon town I add an Arborian Queen for good measure... which is the game's strongest healer. Everything gets full map bonuses from anything that boosts Bio- or Cyborg units. Did I mention the Psionics in the team? Map wide psionic buffs that heal the whole stack and boost morale and damage on top of whatever they do...

Something needs a nerf

4.4k stack strength... happily taking on 6k stacks with no deaths. Mkayyy

Oh and look, a poisoned psionic storm, wut?

On the official ArcGames page, but I got an email notification, as I was an early recipient of TL2

Any news on the 'when'? That's all I care about really.

Just sent them off an email inquiring about and recommending a GOG.com release.

Looks better than how I remember it. Halo CE graphics on PC were really poor, I had the disk version. On Xbox it was kind of the same. Halo 2 looked a lot better.

 

[Ahhzz]

I'm with you on that I did see something on the GoG forums reporting they'd confirmed no GoG release, but no link. The good news: they removed it from the "Arc Launcher", thanks gods, but it looks like only Steam at lease initially....

Any news on the 'when'? That's all I care about really.

So far, the only "official" word is "On Microsoft Windows in 2020!"

Went back to Borderlands 3 after a long break 'since November',finished the first DLC with my main char 'Amara' and farmed out some new/buffed gear for her.
Also started Moze as a secondary char since I have a lot of gear saved in my bank and my main char is kinda complete for now.

Since last night I'm playing this ofc:

So far so good,game is clearly faster paced and harder than the previous game but its still fun to play imo.

Also playing Diablo 3 in the current new Season but I put that on hold for the time being.

Stellaris has been updated a lot, so that. But I never really got hold of the updates for 2.0 (which was some time ago), let alone these updates. 2.0 was ... I probably argue that those changes were necesarry (see spoiler), but I don't really enjoy the game as much. I don't know if that's becuase I played it for like 100 hours the first two months after release or if it's a worse game. Technically it's so much better, but I dunno. Will by the expansion regardless. I may want to play the game in a few months, or years even, and playing catchup years afterwards is not a pleasant or cheap experience with Paradox games.

But it is a pointless point because the moment Aurora C# hits I will be all over that.

Spoiler

So much new stuff in 2.0. Populations and building and everything related to that (as in the entire resource system) was revamped, as was travel modes. At launch you had three different modes of travel: Hyperlanes (hyperlane network, star systems being connected with pre existing hyper drive lanes, they were fast but limited to the network), jump drives (slow but you could jump to any system within range and worholes (constructed A to B wormholes which let you jump to a constructed wormhole gate to another wormhole gate within range, fast and good range but you could destroy the jump gates). 2.0 removed all systems but hyper lanes. It changed the entire philosohpy of movement of the game. Technically it was a benefit, as many drawbacks of the game were a direct result of the FTL triad, and again the game was better for it but somehow it also became more boring for me. Or it's just a simple case of being burned out on it, but that didn't really happen with Crusader Kings 2.

Realistic combat mechanic --- Check!
Realistic human relations --- Check!
Realistic economy --- Check!
Realistic character development --- Check!
Saving game --- Null! Uhm... Wait! What's that?

I'm playing Kingdom Come Deliverance nowadays, but game save option is really annoying me! Still, I'm playing. Weird. KCD has a lot of things in a realistic way, but saving the game is just really annoying! You need to sleep, or drink schnapps. If you missed to sleep for a while and forgot to drink before entering a quest with a long way ahead of you, you are simply... well you know that what comes after this. I'm saying that, take good care of your character, sleep, drink, eat, and do not stand up and fight against 3 or more enemies around you. Sometimes, getting away from combat is a good tactic to improve your skills. Maybe you can improve your Agility or Vitality. Who knows... Because anything you can do in this game can improve one of your skills.
