"The Flame in the Flood"
Interesting and different take on survival-game, with its own unique gameplay mechanic. Basically you try to survive in a flooded world by always going forward where the current flow. Collect, create, repair, cook, etc. just to move on. There're randomly generated locations (and items, objects also wilds in each) that can be visited by navigating with your raft, but it's designed so that you are better moving forward. I really like the gameplay mechanic, the visual and soundtracks are bonuses.

That's also on my near-future playlist...it sits there teasing me as I play other games I'm trying to get rid of. :laugh:

I watched it all during early-access, and I'm really looking forward to it.

strange never got any issue witn NCsoft .... tho i never used third party launcher or any other software (well ... mainly because all my PC, up to today, could handle any games they had without needing other tweak than the official "option menu" ) nor i got hacked of any account from GW to GW 2 to BnS (on any server, tho on CN/KR/JP server i obviously used mod'ed files and launcher, which never bothered them) well my password is ... complex ... even for me: i need at last 4 clues (which are hidden around my desk place) to remember it ... (which explain why i take nearly 15min to log in ...)

The last MMORPG i've touched was FF14 online which was super boring in my opinion. The one i would like to try out is Phantasy Stars 2 Online and Monster Hunter online but thats not going to happen.

then you are not made for MMORPG's :laugh:

FFXIVHW is a nice dynamic and quite face paced mmorpg were placement reflexes and strategy hold quite a good portion of the action, there is way more "super boring" mmorpg's than FFXIVHW (altho it's your opinion, i understand but i can't help but wonder why is it like that nonetheless

)

aside ... having a freaking good time on Overwatch ... i was hyped for it ... the word "hyped" does not even summarize the feeling on the 1st set of matches i did Tuesday (been playing it a bit too much in 3 days i think ... oh ... i forgot, it's still on ... oh well Alt+tab then

)

How about wanting to play? I just watched the Deus Ex Divided trailer, and that was an AMAZING trailer.... Considering how much I disliked the last one, it says a lot that I'll have to give Divided a try....

Drone · May 28, 2016

I want Deus Ex: The Conspiracy remake. JC is one of the kickass protagonists ever. It's the only Deus Ex game I care about. Snowblind was okayish but Deus Ex Clan Wars would've been better.

I'm a PC guy, so the ports don't matter to me. I do prefer JC, and the first two I absolutely loved. This new trailer is really awesome tho....

Totally forgot about this! It was a fun PC game that was originally supposed to be a Deus Ex game, but ended up being just set in the same general gameworld, IIRC.

I'm not "platform n guy". I like games because of their gameplay elements and story. They can be on any console I don't care. I enjoy Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil and Kingdom Hearts games across all the consoles, even on handhelds. Every version has its own specifics.
For example RE games:

Resident Evil 2 on N64 had more notes which helped to understand plot better
Resident Evil Code Veronica on DC played better than on other platforms
Resident Evil 4 on Wii had the best aiming
Resident Evil 5 on PC had the most fluid movement

... and so on. It made me jump from one platform to another but it was worth it because of the experience and good memories. I'm not a hardcore game but I never play video games just for the sake of it or because those games are popular or got good reviews. I play games because I find something interesting in them and I have my own opinions about them...

Can't argue with your reasons for playing at all. I don't much like the games that are multiplatform, but release early to one or another by a few days for "exclusivity". Also, I am on a limited budget, which I break often enough for other, pointless reasons. If I didn't purchase a PS for the FF lines, there's nothing that'll pull me to one

I'm on a limited budget too. Played some of the games on my friends'/relatives' consoles

Skipped some of the exclusive titles (remakes/remasters/ports), plus some of the games are nothing more than cash cows.

Haven't played FF series much either. I played only Crisis Core and Type-0 on PSP, they're awesome games though. Squenix slowly re-release other FF games for different platforms and even for PC but I don't think I'm gonna play them all.

FordGT90Concept · May 29, 2016

I've played a lot of Super Sanctum TD (that game is tough--requires grinding XP to beat it), then played Satellite Reign for a while trying to get a "No Big Brother" achievement only to read and discover that you have to destroy all of the cameras in 9 minutes. After 9 minutes, they start resetting so you have to destroy the ones that respawn again. After that disappointment, I think it is time to try Goat Simulator: PAYDAY.

Beastie · May 31, 2016

Still laying Project Cars

.

I've come across a horrendous bug though.

Playing 3hrs of Mclaren at Zolder on 100% difficulty with full damage in real time.

Going for a high fuel load strategy as I've found a great Zolder set up at http://projectcarssetups.eu and can run decent laps that way.

After a few sketchy moments on the first lap I settle into a good pace and start building a lead. Due to variations in pit strategy, I do lose the lead on some laps but as the race goes on I start to build a more solid gap.

@2hrs I have a major moment on worn tyres going down Butte into the Terlamenbocht chicane and spin off to the right.. I skate across the gravel and miss the barrier by an inch coming back on the track facing the right way

.

By now I have cramp from using a xbox controller for hrs.

@2 1/2 hrs I pit in for my last pit stop with a 1m 15s lead. Just after I enter the pitlane and the AI takes the wheel I see my pit is occupied. I am sent out again and run out of fuel. GAAHH!

The combat is good and the graphics are fantastic but i just couldn't get into the story, it has no voice dialogue*exclude expansion* which seemed cheap compared to GW 1 and 2 when both are free to play after buying the licence or the quest they give you in the game is just not entertaining at all,maybe i am just struggling to get into games these days lol. I know many people had fun playing Borderlands with friends/family but i get bored after 2 hours per session.

got addicted with Overwatch. Most played hero is Mercy. Revisited Warframe, Left 4 Dead 2 & gonna buy the Compendium for the upcoming TI6.

16hrs total (lv20 atm)
3hrs with D.VA | 2hrs with Zenyatta/Reinhardt/Mercy (albeit being too easy ... i still love her) | 1hrs Tracer/Widowmaker/Reaper | 54min Genji being the lowest but only 6 min under 1hrs play

non played hero: Bastion (boringstion/noskillneededstion) Symetra (not a fan) and Winston (tested in shooting range... not really interested :laugh:

)

Dead Rising started more or less "humorous" and ended really grim and tragic

FordGT90Concept · Jun 1, 2016

Been playing Space Rangers HD: A War Apart. I don't like it but I haven't quit yet so it must not be terrible. :roll:

Most likely going to play Rebel Galaxy after I give up/finish Space Rangers.

Frick · Jun 1, 2016

Finished The Longest Journey (again), and I think I'll uphold my opinion that if one would play only one game in ones lifetime, that game should be a serious contender. It feels both a bit slow and rushed at times, but it's one of those games I actually wish were longer. There's a lot of dialouge, which btw has got to be some of the best voice acting I have ever come across no matter the media (seriously, it is that good, not always but often), but I wish I had more time to explore the relationships between the characters and the world as a whole. The story in itself is probably not mind-boggingly great in this time and age, but it is just so very well made, and again, the characters overall feel alive, and the world too feel like a real place.

It's just too bad I really didn't dig Dreamfall that much (only played for a few hours though), but I really, really have to finish it so I can move forward. To April!

I think you'll be surprised by Dreamfall Chapters! One of only a handful of games in any genre to be in the same conversation as The Longest Journey. It's really a "must play."

brandonwh64 · Jun 1, 2016

Well I am playing a game I thought I would never enjoy and that is starbound. I hated terraria when it came out and kept thinking since starbound is similar that I would hate it too but damn I have gotten addicted! We have a modded server up if anyone is interested!

Started Dreamfall and I remembered the controls being terrible but I had completely forgotten just how god-awful they are. It is all but unplayable on mouse+keyboard. :shadedshu:

I've been meaning to get back into that game but it's towards the bottom of a seriously long list of games to play.

Exactly why I hate it. They got the freaking X axis backwards FFS! That said, I still plowed through it and wasn't impressed. In my mind, The Longest Journey didn't have a sequel.

I did buy Dreamfall: Chapters but I'm not going to play it until they launch the final act. I hate incomplete games. Like Big Rigs.
