What are you playing?

a bit of FFXIVHW (free login campaign, good initiative to see if it can bring me back on it ), a pinch of Blade And Soul Eu, Warlock test ... faster to level than any other classes i have ... 31 in 2 days way faster than my assassin (35 6 days), Summoner (22 4 days) or Kung Fu Master (31 3 days), a drop of Skyrim/Shadow Warrior Redux/GITS-SC-FA/Rebel Galaxy (around 45min to 1hrs each per day ) and a lot of Armored Warfare ...


funny on MMO i love leveling and story-line following but i ultimately find raids and end game content boring (valid for BNS and FFXIVHW) i guess i am not one of those "pro elitist master with all max stats and gear" even if i play probably more than them, but eh... i only play for fun :)
one could say : end game pvp is fun, and on that ... i was a pvp player only on World of Warcraft and since i stopped playing it, PVP got the signification of "Pointless Versus Pointless" for me :laugh:

also waiting 21.03.2016 2pm GMT (oohhh tomorrow 3pm local time) to see my 5 game key from Square Enix i got with my Easter surprise bundle (6.49€) let's hope is not either:

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Final Fantasy XIV
Murdered Soul suspect

but rather one of my wishlist ... x) edit: well if it's one i already have i guess it will be time for me to host a giveaway on TPU o_O :laugh:


side-note ... seeing it mentioned here made me realize i have Valkyria Chronicles ... somehow i forgot to play it after buying it on the summer STEAM sale ... time to correct that
I still got FF type-0 HD unfinished on my PS4 will need to finish it till FF15 release.
 
Currently playing FarCry3 Blood Dragon again.

Ill just leave some of these here:

I'm no hero. Policemen, Fireman, Janitors. Those are the real heros.

Dr. Elizabeth Darling: Rex, I saw what you did in my scope. That was incredible!
Sgt. Rex 'Power' Colt: No doc. Paintings of crying clowns and dogs playing poker... those are incredible. What I did? That's just the job.

Dr. Elizabeth Darling: Be careful Rex, there's death in that place.
Sgt. Rex 'Power' Colt: What kind of death?
Dr. Elizabeth Darling: ...The dangerous kind.

Running is like walking, only faster.

[Finding another collectible] Whoever thought this would be fun, I'm gonna collect their head and have it mounted it on a wall.
 
Playing Shadow Warrior right now. It's got funny dialogue and I like the gore, but something just feels off. I'm not one for story and such but something about the game other than the hack and slash just feels bland and kind of boring.

I got the same impression/feeling playing it. It's like I couldn't wait to be finished with it.


I've been playing Skyrim trying to get the last two achievements (Werewolf and Vampire).
 
sooo i got ...

Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Director's Cut, yay ... always wanted it but i forgot to, played a while, interesting one.
Final Fantasy XIII-2, darn, i have it already :cry: oh well giveaway or gift for friends i guess
Final Fantasy VIII, YAY it was in my wishlist since long ... it's the game where i got my irl nickname ... "Squall" and also GrieverBlade come from it (yep GreiverBlade is a typo ...)
Sleeping Dogs, Definitive Edition, meh... i intended to let it aside for a giveaway but still tried it ... not so bad will play more later on
Quantum Conundrum, well that one i don't know what to do with, i guess i will seek some info on it before deciding on activating or giveaway/gift

only 1 on 5 games is one that i already have, and 3 of them are interesting ... good job SE!
 
Finally set Skyrim aside for a moment and started in on Rise of the Tomb Raider. I put 9 hours in so far. I had 2 previously, and did 7 yesterday.

I'm actually enjoying it. It's feeling so far a little more like... Well like a tomb raider should feel. It's still not there, but is fun, nonetheless. The hunting and gathering has gotten old. I should be used to this from the last two Far Cry games tho.

I actually haven't change my looks at all.
 
I can't stop...........


HOOKED... :(




Stardew Valley has consumed me, I couldn't tell you when the last time I played something this aggressively...

Need help. pls. Help. pls.
 
I'm playing Unmatched air Traffic it's have many learning point about plane landing in a airport.
 
Still playing Rise of The Tomb Raider with 29 hours in. I'm only just now going to look for the atlas after helping repel two trinity assaults. Seems like I still have a good bit to go yet (last save still only showed 46% progress).

What I'm really liking on this are the number of actual tomb adventures, with some of the puzzles really making me think!

How on Earth did anyone complete this i 10 to 12 hours? I definately feel I got my money's worth on this one!

Gearing up for Dreamfall Chapters, so The Longest Journey. Also installing Freelancer because I found this. Installing from a CD no less and man my DVD-drive is loud, and also my Internet connection is A LOT faster than that and that is remarkable.

Dreamfall Chapters is excellent! Just be aware we are still awaiting the final chapter, which they have only identified as "this spring".
 
Crossfire for Freelancer is meh. :( Maybe they improved it since I last played it (years) but...Freelancer is just better by itself.

I have no doubt about that, but last time I played through Freelancer (last year iirc) it was a lot shorter than I remember. And just flying and looking when the game's done felt a bit unnecessary, especially since I still remember most bits from when it was released. Which was in 2003. Damn.
 
Yeah, Freelancer definitely doesn't have a post-campaign universe because the world doesn't scale with you. By the time you reach that point, you usually have the ship you want so the only thing really worth doing is finding the experimental weapons. But why, when you can already take on pretty much everything at that point anyway? I think Freelancer was supposed to have a better post-campaign experience but it got cut and pushed out the door by Microsoft. It's part of the reason why Chris Roberts left.
 
Polaris Sector

It's a real-time-pausable 4X space strategy game, indie title backed by Slitherine/Matrix (of Distant Worlds fame). Been really enjoying the hell out of it!

My original plan to finish Deus Ex: Human Revolution 2 weeks ago didn't quite turn up as planned so I was hoping I could finish it this weekend. That didn't quite turn out as well as I've hoped since I spent so much time on the Missing Link mission (which was originally a DLC). I did not like it as much as the rest of the game since it becomes incredibly tedious to sneak around back and forth (without taking down hostiles) in a pretty big map. I probably have to spend some nights during weekdays to finish the game.

Since I've been playing too many stealth games recently, I'll probably skip Thief (2014) next weekend. Maybe I'll play some shooting games like Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
 
Just started this game called Cities: Skylines after I bought it last december sale and stocked it in my steam library.

I was surprised, it was that great. It's the best city-building game I've played to date, blows simcity 2013 out of the water and other recent similar games, reminded me of the simcity 4 days.

It's so addictive and I just played for like 5 days and already racked up around 80 hours of gameplay

Here is my lengthly steam review(see below)

Awesome city building game, reminded me of the Simcity 4 days. Bought this last december during the sale and only touched it this week, and it's a great game.

Since there's too many things to say, I'll just say it in bullet format

THE GOOD
-Runs great on my system, even HUGE cities run smoothly and has no problems whatsoever, it's about time we use that 64bit architecture.

-The city/traffic/civilian simulation is realistic. The cars and the people aren't just eyecandy, they actually do something. Everyone has a name, you can see where they live, see that they go to school/work, they buy their stuff and go to malls, etc. They could own a car or use public transport, you can actually follow them and see them do their daily affairs.

-Traffic simulation is the best I've seen in ANY game. same with the civilians, there is an economy system and every car in the game has purpose, may it be delivering goods from industrial buildings to commercial buildings, or providing raw materials to industrial, or civilians going to school, work, garbage collectors, etc.

-Public Transport is also the best, you can actually setup bus/train/metro lines or setup taxi services, ship lines and airlines, and see them in action and actually serving the civilians who are realistic as well as mentioned above.

-The road placement is very flexible and allows you to build roads of all shapes and sizes, you can even adjust the height, up to the underground level. Because of this, Interchanges are in the game(and it's actually useful, because of realistic traffic simulation) and you can also make your own or get pre-made ones from the workshop.

-♥♥♥♥ the grid system, you can design cities that have curvy roads, and it's as easy as doing grids, although I personally like doing grid system cities, a lot of people look for this specific feature

-lastly, MODS, THOUSANDS OF MODS, are in the game, and If you've played Elder Scrolls, and Half-Life, you'd know how mods vastly improve the gameplay experience, this is one of those games where it's super mod friendly and allows for countless mods for various purposes to be made. Examples are pre-made road designs, new structures, cars, camera tweaks, maps, skins, even ones that make the game more realistic.

THE BAD
-the only bad thing for me is that it's hard to learn the basics, thankfully we have Steam Guides so I was able to learn the mechanics of the game quickly.

10/10 The best city building game I've played so far, ok the bullet format isn't much of a help, I still wrote a lot of things
 
this is what i play

Finished Rise of the Tomb Raider. I finished the main, explored nearly everywhere and found nearly everything, then went and completed the second half of Baba Yaga DLC. Grand total was a little over 40 hours.

If you are like me and take your time exploring, then you will get your money's worth, at a little more than $1 per hour played. If you just gun straight through on main quest, don't explore and don't do any jobs for anyone, you may have cheated yourself out of a really good game.

Anything from Crystal Dynamics is bound to turn out good (that's what I expect anyway). I really wanted to play RoTR but I'll wait a while longer till it goes on sale.
