What are you playing?

Lol, I'm sorry, I had to laugh! That's funny shit, because it immediately broght me to one of my favorite games, but also the most frustrating: Styx. I cannot tell you how many times I would miss the exact timing or jump I needed to do like a Russian gymnast, only to plunge down into the depths, my voice trailing off. I would then restart from the last checkpoint, which was at least ten minutes prior to my dying scene, only to repeat it 4 or 5 more times.

Anyway, thanks for the memory-induced laugh, and I'm glad you made it through.

Ahaha no worries, I had a good laugh myself. Lol I always think that devs would laugh at me if I give up so no matter how hard it is I always carry on.

Well there was the original Flashback, OMG, Another would have to be Pitfall but i always thought Flashback was a more challenging game.

I haven't played Flashback but I know it's a tough game. Early Metroid and Sonic games are tough and punishing too. There are places where you need to do lots of jumping and if you fail at least a single jump you're dead. Good old times with "all or nothing" philosophy.

Just finished Prince of Persia the forgotten sands on PSP.

RANT!!!!

That shit is fucked, seriously. I was complaining that the sands of time (on PC) was difficult. Ahahahaha! The easiest level of TFS is 100x harder than the hardest level in the sands of time. The platforming is nearly impossible. It was the hardest PoP (or any other game) I've ever played. I don't even remember how many times I fucked up. Timing and spacing is pain in the ass, you have to calculate every step you take and god forbid if you're 1 Planck time late: you just die and restart from the checkpoint which was .... 10 light years away. The final boss battle was extremely easy, I guess it's the only easy thing in this game.

/rant

It's probably the PSP version. I remember Forgotten Sands on PC was extremely easy, whether it's the platforming or the combat. Not to mention, the game was pretty short compared to other PoP titles. I finished it the same night I installed the game.

FF14 and Huniepop for the moment.

Yes, Forgotten Sands are different across the consoles. Wii nds psp and pc versions have nothing in common (except title). PSP version has extremely hard non-stop platforming:

Which is really punishing. In video it looks easy but controlling this process is extremely tough task.

 

[Ahhzz]

Anyone check this out? It's called "The Skies", kinda looks like STALKER....

Completed Homefront: The Revolution (39 hours to complete), and have to say I'm impressed. Not Witcher 3 impressed, no, but it was well done. A lot of the studio members stayed with the game through two studio and two publisher changes. That's a lot of turmoil and uncertainty, but they believed in it. To begin with, at almost 40 hours, the SP campaign is 10 times what original game SP campaign was. Combat is fairly unforgiving (as it should be), and the mechanics of blending into the population and hiding in collaborator neighborhoods is done very well. Now I wait for the two SP DLC's.

Am now alternating between the extremely micromanaged survival game The Solus Project and torturing myself with the puzzles on The Road to Gehenna. At least they are satisfying when I complete them! Seriously, I feel like I have accomplished something.

Good tyo hear, i liked the 1st one. By the screenshots though don't look like they do all that much on eye candy.

I was playing Game Of Thrones, but ended up getting a refund on the 109 minute, defiantly not there best work that's for sure. Wasn't just a bore fest it was worse as things did not seem to be timed right in it like the Q\E keys would flash on and even if you pressed the key before it still messed you up half the time.

So playing SP The Stick Of truth, some things in this game are enough to make you cringe while laughing.

I must say, the game doesn't screenshot well. For whatever reason, the visuals are great in gameplay, and it makes a GPU work.

No as they are though steam, i was actually playing it at 3200x1800, makes the system run around 188w which is on par of running Diablo 3 and 40w shy of Shadows Of Mordor.

And frame rate is capped at 30 with using 3200x1800 with vsync.

Currently doing a new playthrough of The DIG. The last time I played this jewel of a game was back in 1996.

Just finished Until Dawn second time. What a game! Authors of the game did really good job. Both graphic design and sound it's extremelly well. Even scenario of whole game is perfect. If someone like horrors highly recommend Here is a trailer on YT:

I saw Dirt Rally for 15 sterling so I bit.

Lots of fun. The trick is to learn to go by the navigator so you can do the blind corners.

The scenery looks great.

Codey's best offering for years IMO.

The only thing is I'm finding the AI a bit easy.. maybe when I start the career things will get harder.

 

[purplekaycee]

The Witcher 3 atm

been a long time since i've played a game of similiar quality

it's really interesting if you dont rush through the main mission to complete the game as fast as possible

Some of my friends are reporting glitches hope you haven't experienced any.?

Well, just placed my preorder for We Happy Few on GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/we_happy_few

I was so excited that it will be releasing there on the same day as Steam! Why here? Because on July 26th, I'll be well into it!

My poor PC is seeing no love at the moment.

Playing Tokyo Mirage Session: #FE into the ground on my Wii U. So darn addicting battle system. Ugh, still wish Nintendo make another Fire Emblem on console though....FE: Conquest just did not last up long enough to me at all even though the missions where challenging. Already drop 23 hours onto this game in four to five days now.

Only way I can describe this battle system on this game. Its like FFX meets Fire Emblem Sword/Spear/Axe/Arrow system with classes (I just got far enough to unlock and upgrade to advance classes). Though, the Japaneses stuff at times is a bit wacky on this game. .....I think so far the Pastel Power special attack is the weirdest one yet.

I returned to CM's "Rally" after being in the beta. MAN! has it changed to better! It is sooo real! It actually makes me go slower to admire the nature and that makes me crash less and achieve better times!

 

[kurosagi01]

Been backtracking on Dark Souls 3 getting all the remaining rings, sorcery spells,pyromancy,miracles and gestures before starting new game plus. I am also now on final chapter of Jojo Bizarre Adventure Eyes of Heaven,fantastic game and story mode is fun and definitely fits the jojo universe of bizarreness.

 

[rtwjunkie]

Still playing through Black Mesa. Hit 15 hours yesterday and having a blast!

As a general rule I don't touch unfinished games, but this has been in development so long it basically feels complete.

 

[Damocles]

AC Syndicate. This game is freaking awesome.

AC Syndicate. This game is freaking awesome.

This would be my next game on my list to complete on PS4 once i finish platting Jojo and Dark souls 3 on PS4,going to try juggle games once again with Monster hunter X generation released today in the UK and still need fit in time to play Bravely Second too.

 

[basco]

going trough sniper elite 3 again to get all long shots

 

[EzioAs]

I bought Age of Empires 3 Complete Collection during the Steam sale and have been playing the game all week. Can't believe it took me this long to play it especially considering how much I love Age of Empire 2 when I play it years ago.

The game still looks pretty good even 10 years after it's released.

 

[Recon-UK]

Dying Light at 1440x900 on my TV... not playing it on monitor as 670 can't handle it maxed on 1080P, but gives me well over 60FPS at 900P
