What are you playing?

[yogurt_21]

been playing some kotor2 again. I'd forgotten how annoying kreia is. I really wish it was her voice box rather than her hand that got cut off...then you remember she has that whole psychic communication and its so much better if she's just dead. Otherwise enjoying the mods.

I recently started playing that again too. Ended up going dark side just so I could hate on her at every single point available.

Also Kyn!

I recently got way back into ARMA 3 again and reconnected with my oldest gaming buddy. We have been gaming together for almost 20 yrs. We met playing Ghost Recon and have played every tactical shooter together ever since, Even obscure stuff like The Regiment

But yeah I am a founding member of Simjunkies and we have our own server the Casual Soldiers. We are having a blast doing Domination missions scaled for 12 people. We get 4 to 6 us together almost every night for at least a week now and we have been having mammoth sessions of 5+ hours. It's been awesome!

I'm playing Dungeons&Dragons online for some years. Enjoyed it a lot but maybe it's time to try some other MMORPG...

Am wondering if my GPU will handle Metro 2033. I'm listening to (awesome) fan made audiobook Metro2033 so far. Will try game later.

I will say this, about that. If you find yourself not enjoying the restrictiveness of the game, and decide to wander the path less traveled, find the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, and I recommend the Complete Stalker mod to really enjoy the series.

Ok, I'll check it out.

I also played Outlast (my first horror game since Penumbra). Well,I liked it but later it seemed quite monotonous - still run run run...and since I lost saves while installing Win10,I'm not coming to back to it.

Finally finished up the whole HL2 saga. I suppose I could put Black Mesa on the list to play. They definitely left the HL story unfinished. Who does that?!

Now I'm mixing up my time between Hydrophobia: Prophecy (the water is the most realistic I think I have ever seen in an unmiodded game!) and this new sci-fi adventure game, Cradle. Cradle is strange, and totally off the charts with the inventiveness and imagination of their science fiction! It's also not a game for adventure game newbies. There is no hand-holding. Also, it's interspersed with some very hard cube games where the action is timed and fast paced, and critical for certain needed game items. I started out the game saying What do I %*$^@$%!#! DO!! It took a bit of wandering and looking/touching Everything. After 3 hours though, I'm into the groove and enjoying it.

Finished Hydrophobia. Well, for 4 hours, I'd say it's a good thing I only paid $2.99 for it!

I feel for you. That is a low computer you got there, but so do i. I finished on medium settings 1600x900 Metro 2033 (not the redux version). And as for a new mmorpg,as always i recommend Tera...might be way to more for you. Since you are used to clicking on a target ,and a slow passe gaming . Tera is fast, very fast,also might need better computer and definitely a mouse with more then 6 buttons (the mouse is very important). How ever it is free to play (easy to make money in game) and if it does not work on your gear,you can always just uninstall.

Since you got that computer ,and you are from Czech Rep. i am guessing you don't have money. it's cool,i'm from a poor country and bad economy myself.
My point go play Guild Wars 2,that is the number 1 mmo out there at the moment. But you need to buy the game....so i guess that is out of the question. Also GW 2 on your rig .....emmm, i don't think so.
I had the money to buy GW 2 ,but did not until i get new card.

.... a mouse with more then 6 buttons (the mouse is very important).....

have you tryed to a make skill chain. i've only used skill shortcuts only if i wanted specific skill atm. otherwise i used shortcut for first skill and then just space to triger next in chain

..... also might need better computer...

only if you want all eye candy on. i've played it with gts 8600m on min~mid settings. with hd4850 i was able to run almost maxed with only shadows and AA on low or off.

Finished the main campaign of Bioshock Infinite. I still have the DLCs to do.

They are definately worth it! Also tthe worst offender of the "you must buy these to totally wrap up the game series" DLC. WTH 2K?!

yep Tera is the most definitely easy mmo on that ... too much assistance is my only grieve, ok you need to have good reactions but ... with skill chains and a 2 sidebutton mouse : easy as hell to concentrate on the fight.
FFXIVHW on the other hand a good multi button mouse is a must, even if you need to click and select main target.

which remind me that actually i use a Roccat Tyon with 11 buttons (i use the easy shift [+] as a button and the easy shift [+] function on the keyboard so 22 buttons technically, dedicated button counting the clicks and wheel it's more 16/32) and my Etailer got the Roccat Nyth available

also for me : still FFXIVHW ... trying all classes finally (i never been a fan of all class playable on 1 char but now ... i am )well i mainly play the 3 new job of Heavensward but i enjoy, also, the old ones

I actually played GW2 beta and that was with even older CPU/RAM/Mobo. It was still playable/enjoyable.
It is game I am considering.

well in regard of the skills tera is like eso (or other way arround cause eso is newer) you have about 8 skills per class (in eso you have 6 usable per weapon) so they differ from tipical wow follower mmos with 30+ skills accessable via expansions of toolbar. for pve i personaly preffer tera/eso way over wow's lmb to select target and then spam skills (and you can see nonsences like arrows making turns during flight).
chained skills make life easyer for those that cant afford mmo mouses (most of them quite expenseive).

yep yep and yep (tho i love FFXIV type of fight ... i tab for enemy select and rarely click)

also for expensiveness of mmo mouse ... well the Tyon is not quite cheap (tho still stellar above any Razer MMO/MOBA mouse in many ways, as i got both i can confirm)

laugh ...

i actually went and ordered it just after my post here ... and ... cost around 30chf more than the Tyon
tho i wonder ... i already had some thumb pad mouse, and the placement of the buttons on the Tyon is really different (you can get them on instinct, instead of having to "feel" which one you have under the thumb ), oh well live testing is mandatory

and actually in FFXIV i rarely use more than 4 active button the rest is : DOT and finisher moves (or Taunt/Provoke for tank and Raise/Ascend for heal)

Hence why I waited to buy them until now (two years after launch).

It's pretty safe to say that if you didn't enjoy Bioshock 1 & 2, you probably won't enjoy Infinite. Unfortunately, I didn't, nope, and no. Fool me once...

See, I was completely opposite. Enjoyed 1, but not excessively so (I can objectively recognize why it's considered one of the all-time greats); didn't enjoy 2, and completely loved Infinite!

My feeling at the end of it, bc if you think of the whole metaphysics aspect woven into the story, was "this is a masterpiece!". I literally had to just vegetate for a couple hours, as if a great force had completely voided my thoughts. My mind kept thinking "Wow..."

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I didn't like anything about 1, I liked the DLC of 2 better than the main campaign, and 3 wasn't the first grandfather paradox title out there. The only redeeming quality is, of course, Elizabeth but not because of the character, IMO, but the AI work (constantly using the environment as props) and the decision to remove her from active combat so she isn't a burden. The fact she is so scripted, story wise, really negates those benefits though. You can never really have a dialog with her. It also never explains why she'd willingly follow a complete stranger which I found very, very odd. In the end, it's a wash.

Let us also not forget that Bioshock Infinite has a severe case of consolitis:
1) multi-monitor support is severely lacking (as in, it fails to behave normally unless it is windowed).
2) no manual saves? WTF?
3) in order to make the mouse usable, you either have to tweak mouse hardware settings or modify game config files manually. It's like they never tried playing the game with a mouse (which 80%+ of PC gamers will do).

Right now, I'm fighting #2 because I want to go to bed but Burial at Sea Ep1 hasn't saved in over 20 minutes. It's pissing me off.

I hate when developers don't allow manual saves especially if you hit a game breaking bug and can't restart the level or uninstall/re-install the game and use your save game folder to restart the level. I ran into that with COD BLOPS1.

Even worse are the ones where the autosave is the ONLY save. That's a wth moment if i ever saw one!

 

[yogurt_21]

I like bioshock 1, like the gameplay of 2 better and infinite even better than that. Story wise infinite wasn't fooling me at all and I was annoyed at the emphasis on there being infinite possibilities only to end up at several impassible points plot wise (songbird always stops you for instance). At least the first one made it a point to let you know that you never really had any free will anyways so there was only a limited impact you could have. I will never tire of drilling into enemies in the second one, seriously they could have taken everything else away and just given me unlimited use of the drill arm and I would still play it to death. Infinite imo had better gameplay but kept interrupting for story time. It's not that the story was bad nor the other interactions, but I really would have preferred a bit more combat.

Bought Dishonored on Steam last QuakeCon sale. I'm enjoying this more than Bioshock Infinity. ?? I just can't stop playing, it's so fun.

It's a great game. One of the few great new IPs.

Completed Cradle tonight. Great Indie work. It was done on the Unigine engine, and soundtrack fit perfectly.

That said, I finished, and I've never had a greater WTF feeling at end of game. I have no frickin idea wth happened in the backstory that I was trying to figure out. There was a tiny bit of images from 30 years prior, but it by no means fully answered my questions. What...the...Effff? LOL. Still, good, clever came overall, with alot of thought put into the science fiction.
