What are you playing?

My favourite Civ game - Civ 3 Conquests, and the campaign. I never liked 3 or 4 (although Civ 4 Colonization was pretty fun), and I don't have a system to try number six on yet (or 4 or 5), but from what I've seen I probably won't like it much. Civ 3 is pretty buggy on Win10 though, so the game does not actually record me clearing a scenario.

Civ 3 is best because it had Joan of Arc. I care for no other France!

I have Civ 4 (one of the few games I have left in a PC box), and Civ 5 on Steam... but I've to play that one.

RE7 now. I have to admit that it's one of the scariest games I've played, so hell no for long sessions.

I can't even imagine playing it on VR.

I always get the vanilla editions, feels stupid to pay over 60 euros for _digital_ deluxe edition. Some "collector's edition" with artbooks and other bundle or something is something which I would get..

 

[evernessince]

That doesn't mean they didn't do a great job on it though.

ME3's multiplayer was like going to a bakery and getting a cream filled donut when you asked for a cruller. No one asked for that shit, they just forced it on us. After most of the original Bioware team left, they have went from thoughtful well written games to dude bro space sex simulator.

Well, you're talking to a guy that has hated every multiplayer I have tried. I find no redeeming value in it, find it boring, senseless, and unable to capture my imagination like a good story can.

So for me to say that about ME3 mp should tell you something.

Oh, can't stand crullers...way too buttery, creamy and rich.

True, but...

Mu budget is like "Digital deluxe is too much for me for one payment".

Just finish Metro: Last Light. This game feels a bit shorter compared to Metro 2033. I'm a bit annoyed that I didn't get the good/canon ending....I thought I did good enough morally. Now, I just have to wait for Exodus.

Games next on my list and I have installed are Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster and Bioshock 2 Remastered but both are sort of dark/shooter/survival games that doesn't differentiate much from Metro so I'm thinking of installing something else. I have Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen on my library but that's a potentially longer game than I would want at this point in time. Because it's been quite a while since I've played an RTS game, I'm thinking of getting one of these:

• Halo Wars: Definitive Edition
• Rise of Nations: Extended Edition
• Age of Mythology: Extended Edition

Can't quite make up my mind though

Dragon's Dogma is awesome. So long as you're in the mood for RPG.

I'm just finished Divinity: Original Sin 2 with my Fighter character. Now I want to play Total War: Warhammer 2 but I'm still waiting for my pre-ordered retail copy. It hasn't arrived yet.

I'm also playing World of Warcraft.

 

[IceScreamer]

Flatout 2 on a daily basis. Just bought Insurgency on sale and man, some of the best shooting I've had in a while. Also I jump in for an occasional Fistful of frags match.

Ran into a game breaking bug at the end of Sakura Dungeon. Enemies that should be level 67 are 6709, 6710, 6711. I don't know any way to fix it. So sad.


I think I'll be playing Act of Aggression next.

I personally dont cheat but memory modifiers are something I deal with atleast a few times a week in school. maybe you could use something like cheatengine to see if it parses the levels and modify the value yourself to what they should be? atleast to finish the game.

Personally iv been putting alot of hours in Black Desert Online since I got my rig back. played FFXIV for a little but in the 2 years I didnt have a gaming PC my group all went our seperate ways. Which is fine gives me time to play other stuff.

Nope, the way this game is coded...it's like one memory address handles all variables. You can't really peg anything down. I think the issue is actually in the map itself because these are random encounters. The problem becomes apparent the moment one spawns.

Played some Saints Row 2. Can anyone tell me what the hell is happening?

I breezed through Tekken 7, the story mode is very short. In Tekken 5 every character had some sort of short arcade like battles until the final confrontation. You get a prologue/epilogue and 1 or 2 battles that have interaction between the characters. The music, oh hell I don't know if I can compare it to 5, I felt like 7's tracks were really hype.

My favorites from 5 were "Dragon's Nest ~To Those Who Go To Heaven~" (the title itself gives me chills), "Finalizer" (just because it fits, just before you get roasted by Jinpachi, so you never get to hear the track in full because the battle is so brief) and "Crimson Sunset" (for its bass and drum use). I can throw in "Poolside" (just because its pretty cool).

The Boss characters seem OP, pretty much every attack and combo has knockback, which forces you to just "git gud". I only play a few characters out of the roster because that is what I am comfortable with going from playing previous titles like 3 and 5.

Christie/Eddy-Raven-Feng-Asuka and Lee are my personal favorites. I remember using Anna a lot for the beach ball mode in Tekken 3, that mode was so much fun! So was the Tekken force which lets you unlock the final character.

The multiplayer and treasure battles are where the meat is though, so it's improved, you have more ranks to get = more gameplay, although repetitive in nature I still love the progression. I found the customization items pretty lackluster compared to Tekken 5, you do get better recoloring, but a lot of the items aren't very stylish IMO. Trouble for me is getting the game to find players, so I end up fighting the computer most of the time.

Not the biggest Tekken fan, but 5 had a cool soundtrack. Ground Zero Funk still very memorable to me.

I like the series more than SF and VF though.. simply because I suck and somehow it's easier for me to get good at Tekken

 

[EntropyZ]

I'm a casual when it comes to fighting games overall, I just grew up with Playstation games on console, so naturally Tekken was the choice for the fighting genre. I didn't see characters from for example Street Fighter very appealing, it seemed like a fad from the by gone early 90's to me. They just didn't feel special in any way somehow. I just couldn't connect.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Act of Aggression, so far, impresses. It's a lot more challenging than I expected it to be and it really does take strongly after C&C Generals (among my favorite). I think I'm only about a quarter of the way through it.

Doom 2 be like "are you sure you want that power up?, if you get it all these walls are going to pop up and you'll find yourself surrounded by elite enemies, just saying"

 

[Drone]

100%ed Metroid: Samus Returns

Wish it lasted forever I will replay it of course but the first time is the first time.

Those amazing 28+ hours are unforgettable. Best game I played in 2017? In recent years? Ever?
Took my time to explore and scan every single nm of SR388. Found all upgrades.
I rarely used phase drifts but used bomb jumps all the time. With bomb jumps I reached a lot of areas much earlier lol but I never used that for speedrunning or something, only for exploration.
Controls seemed tough to me but now when I mastered them I find them awesome.
4 of those 28 hours went on defeating Diggernaut, Queen Metroid and Ridley.

Amazing atmosphere + isolation, coll animations ad physics, great boss battles with decent AI. No bugs, no glitches, no crashes.
No bullshit movies/qtes/cutscenes and all that crap. Only pure and awesome gameplay.

Really love this moment!

Verdict: well deserved 5/5

I play some Doom 2 with Brutal Doom enabled on and off at times. There's a part in "The Pit" where they tease you with a Rocket Launcher and a keycard. If you go pick up any of those, you get to become a pincushion for like 15 chaingun guys all at once. FUN!

Now I remember why crap kept spawning on Serious Sam. "Oh you want that 1+ health? Here's a bunch of kleers!"
