What are you playing?

@Guitarrassdeamor: Yeah, just give it a little time. I really got into it. And DO read the tips! It has it's quirks, and isn't entirely polished, but alot of fun...it's also a decidedly dangerous game if you don't plan out what to do. And it's almost never a good idea to just stand toes to toe and take on the zombies.

If you've ever watched The Walking Dead, you know the value of running away, as well as drawing the dumb brutes into locations that you can deal with them on your terms, either in a "funnel" or from on high. It's more about gathering resources, building up bases and keeping your people alive, because all your decisions affect your people's morale and how well they get along and cooperate.

Banished, and I find it a bit ... shallow somehow. It's good but it feels like something is missing.

I went down Retro Alley & revisited Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, Doom II, Wolfenstein3D & Rise of the Triad.... all with updated graphics. It's a kick to play these again without the pixels although I'm ashamed to admit I never finished any of them. Yet.

I am playing Turning Point Fall Of Liberty for the first time. I am digging it big time.

I don't do much gaming but when I do it's Doom 2.

World of Tanks and Minecraft lately but there are so many games in my library I need to play and so little time

 

[erixx]

Mainly, mostly, and most frecuently: INSURGENCY

Then I play Wolfenstein and Metro if I have more spare time and feel relaxed enough...

I'm slowly learning some stuff. It's fun, but difficult, which I like. I've gotten caught several times even with two survivors and gotten eaten. I managed to kill off at least one more person (well multiple but I thought it was BS so exited before it saved lol). It's definitely interesting, I like it a lot. Finally moved out of my home base about 10 hours into the game.

Well, since you've got it figured out now, you're going to need another playthrough if you are going to continue, because members dying really does affect the storyline and how cooperative the rest of the people are! Also, try out all the bases before moving to fairgrounds, even when the storyline permits, because resources are much more plentiful, and each base has different slots available that allow repair and research and making things. There is one base that is especially good...it has enough slots to do everything. Once you find it, you'll know! BTW, when members need assistance or rescuing, it's a good idea to help them out as quicly as possible, even if you are on another mission.

Fired up some Elite Dangerous Beta 1.04...it's really turning out very nicely for a space sim. If this keeps up, my favorite space sim, Evochron Mercenary will get less and less play time!

Gave up, now determined to master Dwarf Fortress instead.

How is the feeling of exploration?

I just beat the game...took me 11 hours almost exactly I think. Apparently that means I rushed it, but I swear to hell I didn't! Lol. Do you have the DLC? Would you recommend it? I'll probably pick it up on Steam sale either way. I think I'll replay this since it went by a lot faster than I figured. The big base I got (this is only the second home I had vs the first one and the outposts) was the big warehouse on the opposite side of town of the court building. I did generally help out my people, I did a fair amount of infestations, etc. I feel like I didn't rush...but I also felt like I didn't rush The Witcher and according to http://www.howlongtobeat.com/ I rushed that too.

Yeah, it was probably a little quick, but I'm an exploring kind of guy (I'm THAT guy who finished Skyrim and has proceeded to walk and explore every inch of the map). I went to every house I could, even in the countryside, and even had Lucy find more ammo and fuel for me. It gave me the opportunity to finally head to the fairgrounds with full stocks and tons of weapons and ammo. I even prepositioned cars so I had fresh vehicles stashed wherever I might need them. Overkill, I know, LOL!

I love the freedom it provides. Granted I haven't had much time to play as of late...I am preferring this title to SC. I would say that Evochron Mercenary still has overall feeling of exploration in spades...it is truly open. EL has a deal that you must hyperspace to get to distant areas..you can't get there by any other means... EM you can get to any point...just depends on how long you want to wait.

Trying out Extrasolar. It only takes about 10 clicks-a-day to play this game, which mostly fits the amount of time i have for gaming lately.

Other than that:
- Replaying FEAR and FEAR 2 (no DLC)
- Same with HL2 series.

Roughly 11 hours into the second play through. I have raided pretty much the whole lower town, so I ended up finally moving to the fairgrounds. The one niggle I have is you don't take your stored cars with you, and there is no quick way to bring them there. I'm still having fun with it though, I've got resources out the ass (food and medicine mainly) and 20 survivors currently. Jacob died running home from a mission (where they send them home) somehow and I think I had one other person die...and then expelling the one member of course. Other than that, been way more successful this time. A very fun game..I will buy the DLC eventually and do that too.

It's very addicting. It makes you keep going back to try and do it better! I finally had to take a break for a couple months.

 

[Frick]

Should be playing Wasteland 2, but is finding myself playing Fire Emblem again. That game is surprisingly good.

I decided to finish it about 2-3 hours more into it. Moved into the fairgrounds and while it was big I hated it..lack of entrances, so much crap in the way (I like driving) etc. Hoping the DLC is good and puts it on a new map.

 

[Cvrk]

Mass Effect 2 with female Shep character. Yes i have mentioned in here http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/recommend-the-love-of-your-life-time-pc-game.204489/
that i can't play ME anymore since i know every mission. But i am now taking decisions that i never taken before,so far things are looking great and a bit more unpredictable. Witch is fantastic and making the game worth playing it again.
I have even tried the ultra resolution textures pack. That is bad,since it takes longer for areas to load.And the difference is not that much.

 

[erixx]

Just discovered "Heroes&Generals" on steam. It is free. It is a FPS, and sort of a WWII Online Clone. Funny game. Maps should be all Western Europe, but I always spawn in the woods... Map says "Mountain region" when you point a Rotterdam, which is as flat as it can be... lol

After playing, it is a beta still, I can say the maps are huge, and need 64-64 players.

Edit: Red Orchestra 2 has been updated with new maps and more tanks!

I've downranked all the way to Gold Nova 3 from MG2 a month or so back on CS:GO, so I'm going to be trying to get that back up here soon.
