The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild is my jam tonight! Played like 3 hours and I am loving it!!! I am gonna go ahead and say it.... Its better than orcarina of time

 

[Mussels]

im playing techpowerup on my touchscreen laptop while im in bed with a sore back.

strange game - enemies (trolls) all seem the same with the same attacks, but come with different skins and language packs. same attack of mine insta-pwns them, very unbalanced.

Last thing I played was the Space Engine, a free 3D space simulator where you can make your own stars, your own planets, moons and even asteroids & comets. You can manipulate their physical properties, but you should be familiar with astronomy to create realistic systems or objects. I will post few screenshots when I got back home, since I'm currently at work.

oh resident evil 7: using a god mode cheat because i'm a terrible person, but fucking hell the game gave me anxiety and i couldnt sleep the first time i played it.

Space Engine, starting from Jupiter.

My custom homeworld in a custom star system some 930 light years from Earth. Yes, I can arrive there and back without pointer or any other markings.

My star some 17,01 AU from the biggest planet in my system - a gas giant, 1,08 times larger and 20% more massive than Jupiter.

The most beautiful gas giant in my system (right) from one of its 5 main moons (not counting 31 asteroids).

I've just finished Chapter 10 of Final Fantasy XIII. Initially, I thought this game was a bit of a letdown. However, after spending around 27 hours in the game, I've found the battle mechanics to be very enjoyable. It starts pretty slow but the when the Paradigm system is available, it becomes very interesting and you have to experiment with them for almost every encounter. I also love that you need to really focus during battle because every enemy can pretty much knock you out if you're not paying attention. Bosses are on another level though with some of them being downright hard unless you really plan the battle properly. The story also gets pretty interesting for me starting from Chapter 7 because you see a lot of conflict and development among the characters. To me, it's really the turning point of the game and it's also one of the longest chapter I've seen so far. Chapter 9 is where battles get super hard and you really have to try to maximize the potential of every member. According to wiki, I've got 4 more chapters to go. Don't think I can finish the game by the end of the week but we'll see...

Spoiler: @$#& it, this guy is INCREDIBLY hard!! Beating him gave me total satisfaction for a while.

Back to Warframe since Banshee Prime & other new Prime items are out in the open. Bless the RNGezus for getting her. She's a tough cookie to get IMO.

Just finished another build on space engineers. This is a near future exploration/science vessel.

oh resident evil 7: using a god mode cheat because i'm a terrible person, but fucking hell the game gave me anxiety and i couldnt sleep the first time i played it.

I wouldn't have guessed you were the type to use god mode. LOL

Just started playing RE7 myself. Beat it on Easy and Normal no problem, but Madhouse is very tough. I finally got through the cage fight with Jack by buying the Scorpion key for 3 coins, which gave me a total of 9 vs 4 shotgun rounds. I ended up using 9 of my 12 Albert rounds, and about a half dozen shotgun rounds, plus 3 med vials.

Part of what got me past that fight though is using bag kick to stun, Albert headshot to drop, shotgun headshot to damage him when kneeling, and then just get far away to avoid his strikes. If he comes at you with a charge where he's swinging, or especially scissoring, you need to avoid him at all cost.

I guess part of the reason it feels so clumsy for me trying to block is I get micro stutter when AI are near, which slows movement. The attic fight with Mia though wasn't like that, it's mostly Jack that causes it. I can't believe there are lots of guys doing vids of no damage runs on Madhouse.

I'm about to go to the Old House and take on that crazy B Marguerite and her bugs. Just hoping I can manage to find and make enough burner fuel. I see guys doing no damage runs having, compared to me anyway, plenty of ammo, because they don't spend any resources on health items. Then again they've done several practice runs to know just what works and what doesn't.

I'm starting to feel like I should have went for a speedrun to get the running shoes and circular saw. I'm wondering if the Albert gun and the Defense scroll will be enough.

survival horror isnt my kind of game, so it came down to cheat or not finish it

Yeah I started with shooters, and eventually tried survival horror games. It was really hard to get used to the gimped movement and limited supplies at first, but now I just have to play the better ones when they come out.

Ninja Senki, still trying to kill the dragon boss

 

[GreiverBlade]

Black desert online, oh well there was a 7d trial ... i took the opportunity to check if that game would suits me to kill some time

.... well ... it does ... only one thing is weird ... gender locking between classes, as much as a understand why Kunoichi, Witch, Valkyrie and Maehwa are feminine only since no male could qualify for that class naming convention (well they have some male counterpart in form of Ninja, Wizard, Warrior, Musa ) but for female only unique classes like Dark Knight, Tamer, Ranger, Sorceress (well all 4 can be masculine and Sorcerer does exist ... last time i checked ) it feels a little weird.

nonetheless at last a game that ask a bit to a 1070 ... and first time i saw my fan spinning

not a bad boost for a factory OC of 1557mhz


trying Tamer and Sorceress ... both are like a Thermonuclear firework ... combo and fight are fun with both (tested Kunoichi and Maehwa also not bad )



solo boss invocation ... funny quest nice effect...


mmhhh not bad even for solo player ... money making is easy gearing goes fine, might need more work if wanting to go deeper ... all in all: interesting and 9.99 is not a bad price (value pack are at -40% and-50% respectively but don't feel like they would add much for me)

old school LAN party tomorrow - anyone recommend some offline coop/vs games that work on modern systems?

 

[RejZoR]

Started playing Reflex Arena.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/328070/

It's a spiritual successor to the Quake 3 Arena. Except it's a lot more colorful and kinda actually feels better. Superb motion and controls for pretty much every single aspect of player controls.

And what's my favorite, super easy map editor. I couldn't stand stupendously complicated UT99 and Q3A map editors. But here in Reflex Arena, I've re-created my favorite Q3A's "The Longest Yard" map in basically few hours. It's so easy anyone can make cool maps and extend game's value tremendously since you don't have to wait for mappers to make stuff. If you aren't afraid to check the official mapping video tutorial and few minutes poking the editor yourself and you can create your own masterpieces.

me to here bro!
I'm doing Far Cry 4 Coop. Not offline. And Since you did mentioned "modern"....many new games have online as requirement. Sure thers cracks that have the offline version ,with hosting your own servers...but we are talking here about strictly paid games.
As offline & lan parties go, i consider myself to be an expert. Farming hard to get at epic level. Would warmly recommend the fallowing:
- L4D2 with custom mobs +weapons+ map - only if you tested the map before playing. I do this every time, to make sure i'm not wasting peoples time, cuz i'm the one who organizes the lan party. it has Lan but i do think for coop you need 100% internet. So it might be a no-go for you.
- WaW Zombies custom map, test it before lan party - same rule. However this is not offline (you need to be connected)
- Grim Dawn (it has lan)
- The incredible adventures of van helsing . I think it has lan. not sure,cuz we only play it via-steam.
- Borderlands ...if you have the super patience. it can back fire on you very very fast,if more than 2 people are playing the game.
- Far Cry 1 -with the mod coop installed. I think it's 100% legit since you bought the game. In fact that is very very good in 2 players. Not sure the mod supports up to 4.
- Worms Armageddon
- Quake 3
- Neverwinter Nights 2 .It has lan.
- tribes Ascend .It has lan and 2 players campaing coop. Super game.
- Company of Heroes
- FlatOut 2
Many come to mind, most have to be online, via-steam.

Arma 3 most of the time.

RE7, right now I'm at the start of the final battle with Jack, which I thought was Lucas at first. I am playing on Madhouse with just the defense scroll and Albert you get for beating the game on lower difficulties.

I may have screwed the pooch by spending too much on first aid bottles, because I'm not sure I have enough ammo for this boss. I do have the repaired pistol, which is more powerful, but I'm lacking the more powerful repaired shotgun.

I'm going to try backtracking all the way to the first house to see if I can get it. If not I may have to forgo this run and try to get the circular saw with a speedrun before trying this mode again. Seems like a lot of wasted time.

I recommend dumping the Sorc, and snagging a witch/wiz, or maybe the new Dark Knight (haven't played mine yet, not sure how she dances). Sorc was weak compared to the W/W. Zerker is nice for throwing people around, Ranger is still supposed to be one of the easiest to play and level.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

playing Warframe atm not bad for a f2p game

i don't like picking the "all hype" class or the one people commonly recommend, nor do i like easy class or playstyle plus i play for fun

actually my main, for now, is the Tamer, the Sorc is for when i feel to take what is a distance caster class in any other mmo and bash mobs bareheanded


ooohhh extremely good point for BDO ... warehouse and stable are shared thru all character and items have no lvl limitation ... good for my Dark Knight test then .... (ok just have to travel to the 1st town with a stable and warehouse but it's not long to reach it )


yep indeed 9.99 will not be too high and a "from time to time" 30d "sub" is affordable (with the advantage to still be playable when not under "sub" )

also weather effect are nice ... rainy weather actually feels rainy, fog water rendering are awesome and combat stats variation due to weather are a fun thing

You also have the ability to buy that ValuPack from the Marketplace, but since they merged the servers, it's definitely a hard time getting one

I hear you on the "Way I like to play!". I'm a ranger, always. I'll throw others in for fun, and I do enjoy the Kunochi (female ninja), but the ranger is for me one way or the other
