What are you playing?

Today I'm back to Styx Master of Shadows. I think it's pretty funny and the story-line is pretty linear.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Yeah, it is. It basically the maps populated with a lot of hostiles an A-to-B objective. It did thoroughly entertain me...but...I don't know...it has a lot of areas to improve.


Still playing SRHK. There's 5 missions left before starting the end-game then there's the 4 missions after that in the mini-campaign. I'm going to have to play those last 4 twice to get the last of the achivements. Needless to say, there's a lot to do yet.

By the way, the SO is interested as well (we're looking for something we can both get into), so if you could save two keys that would be great: still not been able to find/beg/steal a beta key heheh. If not, we'll just share the one thanks!

NP i can hold onto 2 keys for ya.

bugger me... I missed the only other spot I knew for beta giveaways. I'd been watching it all morning, and had to go to a client for a few hours, came back, and it had started, and ended, without me heheh. Thanks I look forward to giving it a whirl

One of my all-time favorites. You can totally stealth it, which is rare for the genre now....or not if you choose to slaughter everyone.

Finished getting all of the achivements in Shadowrun: Hong Kong + Shadows of Hong Kong. There's still a lot of bugs that I'm submitting but it is far more polished than last time I played it.

I'm torn between writing a program I don't want to write and playing AC4: Black Flag.

Well, obviously I would advocate Black Flag! Unless of course the program writing is work-related of course, then it comes first.

It's volunteer for something my dad volunteered for. I'm not obligated to do it. My preference would be Black Flag too.

It's definitely a good game. I feel my assessment is a good measure, since I've always found AC games to be a chore and not fun.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I've enjoyed them all but AC and AC3 were low points for me. The one redeeming thing about AC3 was the Aquilla and AC4 was practically built around that mechanic.

Doing achievement hunting in Rise of the Tomb Raider, especially in Endurance Mode. Strangely the score attack mode is broken for me, some of the area can't be played (all of the tombs and Baba Yaga's area).

Hitman Beta today. Agent 47 is back.

 

[Drone]

lolz in two days finished 3 games

Republique Episode 4 was really boring. First 3 episodes were phenomenal but this one is meh. But it's ok, I'll wait for episode 5.

Layers of Fear has great level design and is full of grotesque art and psychedelic effects. Story is really tragic and puzzles are really cool but everything else is meh. gameplay is pretty linear and boring. It's less scary than Amnesia but stronger than Among the Sleep.


edit: lol yeah 3 games

The third is free dlc for Among the Sleep called Prologue. Short but dramatic. Pretty good just like the original game.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I'm thinking I like Liberation more than Black Flag. All of the games since AC3 have had a lot of severe deficits in gameplay (forced-look, free run not very free, and combat being atrocious). AC2 had some minor issues with free run but, by comparison, AC3 and sons have major issues. In all of the areas that matter, AC2 takes the cake.

 

[Ahhzz]

Trying out Dawn of Fantasy: Kingdom Wars. Anyone else play? Just ran thru most of the tutorial this morning quickly, and looks like might be fun.

Round 2 JC3.

 

[Guitar]

Round 2 JC3.

After getting past the fact it wasn't JC2, I had a lot of fun with it. I do want to go back and 100% it potentially, though there seem to be a LOT of challenges and that might stop it. I did 100% JC2 and that took forever as is.

You think Black Flag combat disappointing ? Wait until you play Unity (I see you wishlisted the game on Steam), for me it's the dumbest AC games and I only missed AC3 and Liberation (also not counting Chronicles).

I have zero problem with performance but combat and free running are sooooooo dumbed down in Unity. No assassinate inside smoke bomb, no whistling, no body pickup, no disarming, no weapon pickup, idiotic cover system, oh and every enemy with guns or rifles are sharpshooter with 360 degrees vision.

Syndicate, on the other hand, tried and succeeded on fixing all of those problems.

I don't care for the challenges, I'd rather run the story and then bs around. I wish we could make huge DRM vs Rebel battles but that's pretty damn hard to even get a small scale.

Ugh, why do they keep trying to reinvent the wheel?

 

[lonewolf]

My son has me playing rebel galaxy by double damage games. got it off of steam for $20. Its a simple fun space combat game.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I'm at 99% sync in AC4, 100% sync in Aveline, and 100% sync in Freedom Cry. The only thing I'm waiting on is Kenway's Fleet which is tied to the passage of time. AC4 should get up to 100% sync in a day or two because I have everything else done.


I'm thinking Blue Estate is next on my to play list. Not sure after that. I kind of got the urge to replay Witcher 3 but I have to keep reminding myself that there's still a DLC coming for that game so I'm holding off. Seeing @rtwjunkie play Skyrim is making me seriously consider replaying Oblivion and/or Skyrim.

Can't help it. I've been experimenting on getting the right mod loadout. The 32 bit engine is the kicker though, limiting to 235 ticked mods. Add in HD textures, and the games RAM limit comes into play with crashes.

So I've finally installed ENB, but without any visual effects. I like modded visuals and lighting as they are. I'm purely trying it because it is supposed to offload all the textures into VRAM exclusively (Skyrim engine is stooopid. About 80% of what textures it normally loads are duplicated in RAM, which is why it is hard to have alot of mods and textures both on normal setup), making it supposedly more stable.

On top of that, I've never fully explored the depth of personality of Inigo, who is the closest thing to a living NPC, so I'm enjoying a nice runthrough.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Hmmm........tempting....


Blue Estate is good...but too short. I put 7 hours into it and I doubt I'll play it again. The humor is good but the aiming is Wii Remote inspired and not fit for a mouse. I'd probably play it more if the view point wasn't fixed and instead, followed the mouse like Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.


I'm getting a really strong urge to play Shadowrun Returns. It's the only one of the three I haven't replayed yet. On a related note: SRHK + SoHK got a 300+ MiB update today that should fix most of the issues I reported.
