Played WAY too much BDO this weekend, while She tried the newest chapter in Tale of the Desert (7, and didn't like it), and then tried Runes of Magic. She's tolerating that one ok, but it's not quite what She's looking for. I think we're both still in that age-old Internet meme: "I want the Old WoW back!!!". BDO is doing it for me right now, especially since I joined a guild this weekend, and I could completely turn off "general" chat. I enjoy the extensive way it got me involved in so much so quickly. I'm normally quick to jump to Alchemy, and started that way, but it's a sign of what the game entails that I haven't even looked up the first basic formula: I've been doing cooking, farming, logging, mining, trading, taming, fishing, everything BUT alchemy heheh.

There's a 6 hour trial on Gragon Age Inquisition at Origin, and in the hour I've played so far ... the controls are sort of smushy and slow, the combat does not know what it wants to be (running dual daggers btw) and the UI reminds me of the one in Amalur, but slower. Honestly I think it would have functioned better as a first person game, which is why I get this feeling it doesn't know what it should be. Like Windows 8. And the dwarf with the huge gun and open chainmail is either the best or the worst character I've seen in a video game because I have never, ever hated something in a game as much as I hate him. Looking forward to the sex scenes involving him. And I'm having some graphical issues, the GPU load drops to zero once every few minutes, which doesn't improve things.

The upside is that it looks pretty good and I like how the characters move. Like how when you walk at a steep angle the animation changes. And I almost wish I had more grunt so I could turn up the AA. I've never felt that about a game before. The voice acting seem stable. Can't say much of the story because it just started.

The dialouge chooser is terrible. Still. Even more with the emotion thing. "LOOK YOU'RE CRYING NOW".

Varric? I think if you played Dragon Age II where he is a main character, you'd have more respect for him. I still haven't played it. I'm waiting for the GotY to go on sale for $20'ish.

I'm still playing Skyrim.

Fx · Mar 28, 2016

I finished DA: Inquisition a couple weeks ago. It was pretty good; I love the whole series.

I am playing Kings Bounty: Dark Side now. Another fun game if you like turn-based strategy games and thinking.

10 free days to see if it kick me as much as in 2008

well ... bought a Nighthawk fitted it passive like a Drake got into a Lv3 (i know i know it could also do a Lv4 but ... well standing is all that matter and in that case it was not sufficient

) sloooowwww luckily i still had a Gnosis in the Hangar, browsed some fitting, saw it was also a good passive shield type and a lot faster on dps and movement than a Drake/Nighthawk ... DEAL

my main char is fairly advanced tho

Drone · Mar 29, 2016

After nearly 60 hours of sitting on the edge of my seat I'm still hallway through Tales of Symphonia. Shocked puzzled and confused.

I have a love affair with EVE Online. I was a small gang FC for a while. Kreij used to play too

tip: turn character portraits off so you can see more people in local. your overview needs work too.

finally made it to Merciless difficulty in PoE. Game gets better the higher you go, also tougher..... I have been enjoying it. Had a party member give me some tips on my witch build. Really helped my dps output.

So I guess I have to go back to reading on how to fine tune the witch, almost like WoW days with my pally

anyone else play PoE on US servers? Toon name?

FordGT90Concept · Mar 29, 2016

I got 100% achievements in Skyrim and now I've encountered another bug where Ahtar isn't giving me the "Kill the bandit leader" radiant quest. I've yet again lost interest in playing the game. I think I'm going to at least try to finish putting together that crown before setting it aside. Unofficial Skyrim Patch must have changed the radiant quest to be a generic location. I had a quest for a guy in Windhelm that was blocking Ahtar.

I was going to play Watch_Dogs next but Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown is on sale right now and I don't have any DLCs for it. I think I'm going to play SCBL first to see if i should buy DLCs which are 50% off right now. Watch_Dogs will probably be after SCBL.

I haven't for several weeks, and not for many months seriously. I haven't gotten near merciless heheh. I "tweaked" my build, trying to get closer to the better builds I'd seen, and made my self a glass cannon :oops:

that is what I am running into now. My output is good, just starting act 2 on merciless but I have trouble staying alive. I think I am going to have to spend some respect points and orbs of regret for better survivability. Then again I am running a lightning build from scratch so the last 10 levels have been fine tuning dps. Holler at me sometime if you want to run some levels.

Ahhzz · Mar 29, 2016

I will, thanks. I may have to wait until the next complete Skill Tree reset tho heheh.

I don't know why, but I can't get away from Grim Dawn.

I've been trying out different builds and I've been through the game twice on Veteran difficulty.....once I find a build I really like I'm going to tackle Elite and Ultimate.

EzioAs · Mar 30, 2016

I've finally finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution. That was a pretty fun ride although I think the Singapore mission is much better designed than the final mission in Panchea. Makes me really looking forward to Mankind Divider. Next stop, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Let's see if this is as good as Far Cry 3.

NA Counter Strike Major is happening this week. https://www.twitch.tv/mlg So between watching that and playing CS, it will take up everything until beginning of next week when my Vive should start arriving!

I was stuck on GD for a good bit of time, just wandering around, filling my bags ind bank space, until the BDO hit heheh.

I started my favorite game for PC, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and i have pretty good start. (22 hours played current save)

JohnnyBlues · Mar 30, 2016

Recently bought the Guild Wars 2 expansion HoT, but the sad thing I don't have a PC, and will probably buy a laptop (fuy, I want a gaming PC) :banghead:

. Playing rarely on my roommates old ASUS laptop with an i3 3th generation, IGP. All on low. Awful!
Playing mostly PVP but I will explore the new maps of course. If someone is playing PM me, I am on Desolation (over 3 years now)!

TES is an excellent "always good" series (except Daggerfail) . Welcome to TPU

Yeah, Panchea was on rails. So is Tai Yong Medical and Picus Communications. There was supposed to be an upper Hengsha between lower Hensha and Tai Yong Medical but it got cut. That's why you go straight from lower Hensha directly into Tai Yong Medical.

Blood Dragon is better than Far Cry 3.
