What are you playing?

Been playing CS:GO a bit, but only Office competitive really. Not being serious, don't really care about rank anymore. Put down Heroes and Generals...want to get to Recon for the sniper rifle but it's just a grind and boring me.

Got invited to the Fortnite alpha today, can't wait for that.

Though the levels look amazing. Just like Bulletstorm, this is by far the strongest point, level visuals.

I know ,right? Crywere engine does the trick. The visuals do look amazing. And i am not having fun with Apotheon. I find the game to be hard....for some reason.
 
Taking a short break from Attila Total War, and finally playing Watch Dogs. I have to say, it's very fun, and I don't appear to be having any of the graphical problems or quality problems I read so much about. Maybe cuz it's patched?

When I hear of problem games, I usually wait 6 months (or sometimes more in this case) and don't encounter such problems.

I love that game open world feature. If I remember true, you can reach everywhere with your phone. Like Person of Interest. :D

By the way, I'm started to play Elder Scrolls Online. But, the game repairing itself. I guess some files are broken. :)

So pissed off right now. I'm at the very end of a mission in Sniper Elite 3 and all I have to do is pick up intel off a dead guy to complete it but every time I walk close to him I die. 2 hours down the drain.

graphics were not the problem with that game.
  • Aiden wasn't a good character
  • the cliche story
  • they never do anything interesting with the hacking
  • the city is boring
  • the driving is too floaty
  • 5 years to make this mediocre game
Mafia II did it better.

@BumbleBee...THAT's what it reminds me of in terms of gameplay!

I do seem to remember a big to-do over the graphics not being even close to E3 though, with lots of complaints.
 
Playing a bit of Cities: Skylines. I think the initial luster has worn off for me. I am certain that its a problem with variety in the "end game". Most of the time i spent later on in game when building a city was fixing traffic problems; one way roads or re planning zones, adding in roundabouts or junctions ect. There isn't much of a difference if i wanted to make another city, the map would be different and that would determine the shape of my city but much of it would be the same in terms of looks. Maybe more themes would be better, some different terrain or something. Steam workshop helps immensely with building variety but lots of the time cities look like each other.

Played a bit of BF:Hardline on my friends PS4 and i can equivocally say that i am glad i do not own a PS4. Graphics are poor, they look worse than when i played BF4 on the PC and the specs i used where a 2500k and a amd 6850! The lack of anti alaising is fucking awful in that game giving me headaches and the film grain and blur are fucking obnoxious. There is also a problem with weapon models in game being FAR TO LARGE, field of view is small but not the so small i feel sick. Its a fucking bad trend that developers are having to use a small field of view to bump up the frame rate. GTA V motorbikes in 1st person are impossible for me to use due to the FOV. The game just isn't that great, some of the BF4 problems still exist but it mostly works due to a now mature engine and that might be enough for some people. The PS4 version has a lot of people playing like they are not used to BF games. Most people play conquest and the variety of weapons, vehicles and maps is just not as good as the last 3 BF games. None of the new modes are special enough to warrant being a separate game and the theme is ruined completely by being a poor mans imitation of the other battlefield games, they went for cop and robbers but its just paramilitaries with no cool special themed weapons so ends up being a poor mans BF4.

EDIT: Forgot that i had also been trying to finish off Shadowrun: Dragonfall, i am at the APEX AI part and its rather hard with the current choice of crew and loadout i have. You spend ages in the matrix in this section too.
 
Hitting Fifa Online 3 and Metro Last light redux.

I find the city more alive than in GTA games for example, can't compare it with Mafia as I never liked the series. Hacking is ok, I realize they could have done more with it but saying there isn't anything interesting to do with it is a bit of a stretch. The time it took them to make this game is irrelevant to me, as the person playing the game because I never had any expectations of it.
 
I suck so bad at this game. This week's review title

Offloading off the Thumb drive right now :), Looks like Boid and Bioshock finished thru the day, so definitely some easy-going evenings ahead :)

Hey @Ahhzz, Have you played Bioshock 2? And if you have, did you try the DLC, Minerva's Den?

It's real good!

I did play BS2, but not Minerva's. I'll have to check it out, thanks :) Played a bit, trying to get back in the Bioshock routine :) Been a while!
 
Deponia: The Complete Jouney (just started). I expect to play Valkyria Chronicles after that. Both are currently on sale at Steam.
 
Bioshock infinity (Thanks @rtwjunkie !!), Boid (Thanks NextPowerUp!!!), and Pillars of Eternity (Thanks @Ahhzz & the rest of the Kickstarters!!! :) )
 
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger and Watch Dogs. Mostly captured by Gunslinger tgough. Old school boss fights which ramp up the difficulty quite a bit from regular gameplay are a nice throwback! I love the atmosphere!!

Oh man, I really liked that game. Loved the story throughout the game despite it being very simple, and it just felt like good old fashioned fun. I think I enjoyed it so much I completed it in two evening's worth of sessions!
 
Tried my hand at Thief, and it actually runs very well on my system on 1680 x 1050 @ normal settings. Pretty much never dips below 40, usually hovers in the 50's. To bad the CPU/motherboard suck at overclocking.

The game though .... as a long time Thief fan I'm ... well I'm trying to be positive, and there are some great things but ... mash "e" to pry open windows? Blink instead of jump? Way to much goth mascara? And it's way, way to bright and seriously no jumping? It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but it is pretty bloddy bad. And Stephen Russell would have worked great as a voice actor as this Garrett is not exactly a young pup as I understand it, and wait did wikipedia just tell me it's not even the same Garrett? :wtf:

Good grief.
 
@Frick All true points. You may have to do like I did. I decided to just play it for what it was, and not consider it part of the Thief games. Once I just played it for what it is, as a game that just happened to be called Thief, i actually enjoyed the hell out of it! Hopefully that works for you as it did for me. I couldn't stop till I had finished it completely.
 
finished Ori and the Blind Forest and started playing Resident Evil Revelations 2.

one of my favourite merchants in video games.

 
Bloodborne on PS4 im hopeless for me its even more difficult than DS2 but combat system is much more fun than in DS games.And just bought Pillars of eternity cant wait to jump into it.
