Age of Wonders 4 is apparently the top selling Game across all Gaming Platforms. Here is a PSA tip for anyone enjoying that Game. Divinity and Divinity 2 are the same Genre and also Fantasy. I have never been a fan of 4x but the way Paradox does it is cool. View attachment 294890

Hang on, Divinity, as in Divinity: Original Sin?

yep, my best friend pre-ordered it day before it came out, its his favorite series. HE NEVER BUYS GAMES... so when I heard he pre-ordered this one I was surprised, even knowing it was his favorite series he usually waits for sales.

So not the same genre at all?

Finished playing Wolfenstein New Colossus.

Now going back to kill more Nazi's. Can't get enough.

But man... still.... those cut-scenes... I like to play my games, not watch them.

I've finished the new Wolfenstein games 2 times already and I still watch the cutscenes.
Idk I love cutscenes, I take it like watching a movie and then I can play it.

It is 4X I was comparing to Planetfall which is Sci fi. Divinity is pure Fantasy.

Hunting for some of the achievements in High on Life.

And a bit of driving in BeamNG.drive, Cyber punking, and played a demo of Loco Motive

wNotyarD · May 8, 2023

Still doing the same: spending most of the time I can with Persona 5 Royal (now on 131h and counting), with some PC Building Simulator for short cooldown sessions and Phasmophobia with friends on the weekends.

I think I've concluded my Diablo 3 career 'just in time before D4'.
Made a last GR push with my Blood Nova Necro 'one of the strongest builds currently in Season 28', beat my personal records and I guess thats enough for me.
I could go higher cause the char itself is capable but I just don't have the patience to fish for better Rifts/mob density and also micro manage pylon spaws cause this build cannot deal with single target enemies with lots of HP on its own at this level. 'thats the only weakness it has'

150 is the highest in the game so 140 will do for me in solo hardcore, very tanky build tho so I wasn't in a real risk unless I get disconnected or something. :laugh:

'very rarely happens to me luckily'
In total I've played the game for ~3060 hours since the launch day 'minus who knows how much AFK', according to the in game statistics. Most hours spent on my DH '700' and almost the same ~560 with Monk and Wizard and around 200-230 on the rest of the chars.

Other than that I've picked up this game since I was always interested and someone reminded me in this topic:

Cyberpunk ARGP or something like that, looks pretty cool so far.
Will be splitting my free gaming time between this and my Borderlands 3 playthrough.

Prepare to be blown away. The Game likes to delete your saves though. The Ascent is CP2077 for ARPG fans.

Yeah I've heard that its something like that, maybe it was you who posted it earlier in this topic not sure. :oops:

Well I hope that wont happen this time around, happened to me in Borderlands 1 that I lost 1 week worth of farming and whatnot cause the game decided to corrupt my savefile and my last backup was a week old..

Thank you for posting this, my brain has been apparently on vacation and didn't think to do the SIMPLEST thing...install Diablo 3 again and play that lol. I've been shaking since the announcement of 4 and avoided the betas (I can't handle that level of tease haha) but I want to play Diablo so badly.

For whatever reason I haven't just installed 3 again and played that again for a bit haha. Maybe I'll be able to stop playing Dead Cells for at LEAST a few minutes so I can play some Diablo haha.

Replaying Resident Evil 5, because I'm a bloody masochist!
God! This game does not get less atrocious with age! The bloody AI is probably why Sheva never got any love in this series.

At least you don't have to suffer those stupid QTE segments. Now instead you have unskipable cutscenes. Yay?

Really one of the most disappointing games of its generation. So much lost premise and design (except for those bloody, overgrown flies that instakill on contact. Those can effing burn!)

jormungand · May 9, 2023

im getting more and more hooked with this game,
was nice the detail of the steps on the dusty carpet. Resident Evil vibes in this area.

Really, i have good memories on this one ...

But as you said, some games get atrocious with age, maybe i'll change my mind about RE5 if i replays it today !

(was the case with Castlevania : Lords of Shadow, finded good on PS3 back then, boring on PC recently)

Well yea even if for nothing else it should be fine to kill some time with.

I've played both D4 beta weekends so far and also gonna play during the server slam if possible. 'I want to try a different class'

How is it for longevity and mechanical depth compared to say Diablo or Grim Dawn?

Finally playing Dishonored, and trying to go stealth only. Pretty fun, don't know why it took me all this time.

kapone32 · May 9, 2023

Frick said:

Certainly not as deep but just as challenging with Boss Battles. From a traditonal ARPG perspective think of Torchlight 2 or Titan Quest (though that is short).

I played for a bit last night lol. It made me laugh and pretty happy with something so 'simple' as installing it on a rig it was never installed on...but being able to resume a game I had going from like 10 years ago hahaha.

That's pretty amazing that we can do that these days. I was totally set to start from 0 and run through the campaign for fun, but it's even cooler to resume something from so long ago.

It runs ever so slightly better than whatever I was using back then (I'm thinking a Radeon 5870 or something) compared to my 4090 now lol. I sometimes love playing old games we used to struggle with.

Is The Ascent a proper mechanically sound ARPG yeah? I always thought it was like the Walmart version of an ARPG

Ah... OK

Well, perhaps Walmart Premium

Space Lynx · May 10, 2023

I tried Assassin's Creed III tonight, already beat it once on launch day, but I wanted to play the remastered version. In graphics settings on PC, it lets you change to 2560x1440 165hz, to match my monitor, set it, reboot the game. shows in settings it stuck.

ok so you think in game you would get over 60 fps right? nope, you get 63 fps. regardless if cutscene or gameplay. WHY DO YOU LET PEOPLE HAVE THE OPTION TO CHANGE REFRESH RATE IF IT DOESN'T WORK

fml, I can't stand these game developers sometimes. if it wasn't for steam deck and indie devs, I may have given up on gaming.
