Stellaris, and they really added stuff in the Heinlein update. Before long this game will be gud for real.

 

[prasoooon]

Yesterday I just finished COD Infinite warfare single player, enjoyed it so much but have a very short main story and its a very innovative n emotional game.
Now I can continue to my other game i.e Witcher 3 blood n wine dlc, Cod Black OPs 3, Mafia 3, BF4, etc etc.

I'll have to give this another serious look at some point this winter.

For now, I've been really getting into Ashes of the Singularity: Escalations expansion since it came out on Thursday. Holy shit it's a lotta fun, and adds more to the base AotS...tactical zoom, more units, more polish, the AI is still damn good (IMHO), the game looks amazing. I enjoy the original AotS with my youngest son who is an RTS fan as well. Both are damn good fun. Be warned, your system will heat up...mostly GPU.

So far AotS and Escalation have been worth every damn penny I paid, but I'm also an RTS fan that loves sci fi, lasers, and explosions..plus large battles are a huge plus! Now whenever they want to use this engine to develop Sins 2, I'm ready and waiting! Would be even sweeter to have Star Wars - Empire at War 2 developed on the same engine...I'd be in hog heaven if that happened! But regardless...I'll give Stardock and Oxide credit for expanding Ashes into something unique and far beyond a tech demo. The SP game is much more enjoyable, I really do enjoy going against the AI... now I just need a laptop that can handle this beast of a game so I can enjoy it on the road!

perhaps you wanna tell us how the multiplayer is going , considering it's the most important part of the game

Objection, your honor. Conjecture, assumes facts not in evidence.

Started some Grey Goo based on a friend's recommendation. Turns out, it's a pretty good game. It has an interesting premise and great soundtrack. The learning curve is also quite simple, I mean coming from Age of Empires and StarCraft. I'm planning on playing some multiplayer this weekend (that and finally completing Bioshock, probably).

You should. Just be aware of the usual Paradox quirks and annoyances (if you aren't already): DLC galore (even if you don't count the music and other light DLC) and a single threaded engine that will make the game slow down a lot no matter your CPU/GPU/storage. Also some DLC will brrak the game, and introduce features you hate. The good thing is that in two years it will be a very different game, even if you don't buy any DLC (as plenty of the stuff in those are included in the patches).

I really thought that was an indie title. It sounds like it, but it looks very interesting. Also, it's made by Petroglyph of Universe at War fame, which is a very underrated game. It seems they still can't do campaigns though, which is a damned shame.

Started my 2nd playthrough of Dishonored 2, this time as Emily. Not only does she play different than Corvo, I'm already playing what feels like a new game with all the side exploring I am doing.

Also, this time, I'm going against the advice of Bethesda, and using the TXAA instead of the FXAA they recommended. It looks better, and I'm still not seeing any difference in performance. So, it appears it is NOT the culprit they say it was (for those that actually have performance problems, which isn't me). amazingly, my average VRAM usage has dropped by several hundred MB, so now it hovers at around 5.1GB instead of 5.6.

I still need to play that. It's been on my back burner since I got it in a Humble Bundle.

I'm working on the last three achievements in Dishonored (they're in Brigmore Witches).

I don't play multiplayer, one of many reason is slow internet speed.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Dishonored all achievements gotten. Evoland 2 is next.

SPAZ2 and Terraria got some pretty big updates. I'm tempted to revisit them.

 

[rtwjunkie]

Almost through my second play of Dishonored 2, with only 2 levels left. Playing as Emily and have been much more slow and methodical than the first run. Discovering many new areas and getting so many runes and bonecharms.

Just like the first Dishonored, it took the 2nd for me to realize just how good a game this really is! 8 of you on Steam have this on your wishlist. For F**k's sake, buy it! This is a must play that is almost certainly the equal of the first one, which IMHO was one of the top 10 PC games ever.

Spoiler: Level Spoiler

One of the levels, entitled The Clockwork Mansion is sheer genius! Think movie Cube, but with actual, furnished rooms of different sizes, and impossible to make your destination without the house rearranging itself multiple times. Another, the Stilton Manor has your character with a time travel device just within the house, allowing you to go back and forth from the run-down decrepit house to a grand, rich manor filled with people. Both old and new are necessary to solve the riddle and traverse the manor house, as well as escape from enemies. Very ingenious.

Just started Dishonored 2. Really liking it.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I was 29 hours into Evoland 2, BSOD'd, and lost the save.

Because of that, I'm playing depression.

I'm looking forward to this game. I haven't been able to get it yet but I definitely am going to soon. I'm glad to hear that you're loving it so much! Very good sign.

Like you said, the more I played the original Dishonored, the more I loved it. You get into it, play slowly through, explore, and the game becomes so immersive.



But my biggest problem, getting away from Alien. Now I'm going through all the DLC's and enjoying those. I had played through the main 2 that have the originals characters (Ripley, Dallas, Ash, etc), and now I'm getting into all the other stuff. Maybe one day I'll get tired of it and finally move on

So .. it's Mickey Mouse's 88th birthday so I thought why not Just started to play Epic Mickey

Played it for an hour or so and I absolutely love it. Brilliant platforming, tricky puzzles (they're everywhere lol), one of the best interacting system. Your weapons are paintbrush, thinner and paint. Almost everything is breakable/fixable which means game has great mechanics and physics. Lots of secrets, hidden rooms, tons of places to explore, side quests ... I can go on forever. Game is based on morality system and Mickey's choices matter.

Level design is amazing, I like that crazy distorted world! Everything looks like it's seen through gravitational lens!

Survived 2 days with no internet due to my old Qwest Actiontech modem finally conking out. Since I've been a customer over 22 yrs with Qwest/CentruryLink, they offered to send me a refurbed modem free of charge (Actiontech C1000A-current models are C1100).

So during that time I had to just do some offline gaming, and managed to finish up my no upgrade Nightmare run of The Evil Within. I came in at just under 14 hrs with 31 deaths. I was thinking it was going to be closer to 100 deaths, but not too bad considering no upgrades.

It's kinda hard to prove no upgrades at game end, so I sufficed by going back to my Chapter 14 save and sitting in the upgrade chair and taking screenshots, which show over 363,000 unused gel. I finished with close to 400,000 gel though. This run was also with no incendiary bolts.

Next I will attempt a no upgrade run on Akumu, and this gives me the confidence I can do it.

I tried out Sociopath perk deck on Overkill in PAYDAY 2. Santa's Workshop came up that met the Overkill criteria so I did it. Mind. Blown. 48 bags worth $10,945,576 in over 38 minutes:

There was only one time, in all of that, when it was cutting it close (I and AI were downed, last AI saved me).

One of the best horror games ever made IMO.

@manofthem are you using the TAA mod for Alien?

https://github.com/aliasIsolation/aliasIsolation/releases

A very dedicated fan made a mod that adds temporal anti aliasing to alien isolation to get rid of all that shimmering that the default aa solutions have. I have not yet tried it myself as I don't have access to my computer at the moment, but you may find it helps out a bunch with the game.
