I'm really liking Homefront: Revolution. The way you change the barrel and mods in the field on guns adds an element to combat I haven't seen before. I'm also playing it on the hardest difficulty so the enemies aren't push overs and it requires some strategizing. The sneaking mechanic feels realistic (can't rely on it) and useful when applicable. That said, I don't care for the whole North Korea invading USA plot. That's about as probable as finding mermaids on Antarctica.

Switched to PS2 games atm. I don't play third person shooters but I like James Bond so I started 007: Quantum of Solace.
Looks pretty solid even by today's standards. Decent AI & physics, nice lighting effects and sound. Melee attacks, aiming, camera and controls are good too. It's quite linear but it's ok. Trying to stay hidden most of the time is the best thing in this game.

I'm playing a nice Indie gem (on break from the new Styx) called Phoning Home. Only mixed reviews from users, but I'm not sure why. Developer is responsive, and the game feels, plays, and looks solid. Trailers and player video got me to say "for $19.99, it's worth a try." So I did. It's a cute robot survival game. Literally, it hooked me hard. Can you say addicting?! I can, and it's fun!! I'm very glad I took the chance. Got it on GOG.

Are you playing this on a emulator?

Started QUANTUM BREAK
 
Bought "Need for Speed 2015" for 12 bucks - great game so far, really nice graphics and story mode, it feels like a mix between Most Wanted (old and new) and Underground 2, with endless tuning & mod options and a lot of classic and new cars!

ARK with some friends in the neighouring town. I am not a fan of early access games (or "perpetual alpha" as I like to call them), but with friends it's quite fun. Apart from the horrible UI. I mean yeah the basic concepts of the game would make the UI a bit of a mess no matter what you do, but it is way too fiddly and non-intuitive, as are some of the mechanics in the game. And as it is a perpetual alpha, I fully expect that neither of these things will ever be fixed. Five years from now the game will be identical, but you can probably make more stuff and there will be more "awshum" creatures to do things with, and it will be prettier, but the very thing that could make the game a much more pleasant experience will not be a priority, because for some reason people just swallow bad UI while raging on ... I don't know what Ark players rage about, but I assume it has to do with decapitations and violence.

Besides that, I'm up to 160h in Stellaris now. And soon Utopia hits so .... yeah. Looking forward to building tall with my long-lived, intelligent, hyper-pacifist birds!
 
Still playing Warframe with a bit of Overwatch mixed in, I love Orisa the new tank :) tanks are my favorite class next to defense :)

Cops are absolutely pathetic and that alone ruins the whole game. Racing is rather boring and apart from that, there isn't anything else to do in a massive city. In NFS Most Wanted and Most Wanted 2 you could start cop chases that easily last up to half an hour and more. Here, when cops see you speeding, 10 seconds and you're ALWAYS out of their reach. Even with most garbage car you can buy. Once you turbo charge your cars, cops become entirely pointless bit of code in the game. And they refuse to fix this no matter what.

I almost hit 30 hours in Mass Effect: Andromeda, and I feel as if I am barely scratching the surface.

That's your (overly critical / negative) opinion. I don't care that much about the cops, I honestly think it's better they are not a big part of the game, still it feels kinda like MW. The touch of MW wasn't mainly destroying or racing against cops it was the feel of the game, the cars, tuning etc. and in those it feels similar or even better - drifting at least is much much better as well as cars and graphics. "Most Wanted 2" was a utterly garbage game, strange that you critisize NFS 2015 and start to debate MW 2, probably one of the worst NFS games ever done, not even having a real story mode, a whole joke of a game I only played because I got it for free through Origin and never touched again after beating #1 on MW list (8 hours playtime?). It's also polluted with DLC shit, speaking single cars here - it's just bad. The steering was also awkward, had micro stuttering or some shit (go google it). If you only play to destroy cops in NFS, better go and play GTA, I don't think you understood the real sense of "Need for Speed" either (hint: the name says it all).

I like NFS 2015 because it has great racing and is simply fun - maybe you suck as a driver and thats why you don't like it? I don't know and frankly I don't care too, I don't think this is a discussion thread either. Your attempt to ruin the game for me (and others) failed.

Yeah, Discord was having issues with their servers. For the most part it worked.
 
Still playing Mad Max here. Probably about halfway through the game. It's taking a while because I want to eliminate all threats within all territories (which takes quite some time to do).

Also, just played Resident Evil 6 co-op with a friend. Nice to see we manage to play without any issues. I even managed to join his session back easily after my internet connection was suddenly limited.

Is Overwatch worth it ? I so wanna buy this game but i'm afraid of it. What if i quit my job and just play ranking until i faint. I have Mobile legends installed on my phone i play around 10+ matches every day, currently ranking Grand master working up to Epic . And all this on my phone. Around 5 matches at work,maybe less, the rest at home.
I'm so afraid of getting Overwatch. I mean, since you are playing the game , can i just play for fun a few matches .... how long does a match last ? Do you level up ? Do you play vs other people that are your level ?
The youtube is full of funny videos of Overwatch, but nobody will explain the game. Not even the ones that created "reviews". Those are not reviews... The only real info i got was from Angry Joe, but he made a preview ,and it was in the early times of the game, now things have changed.
