What are you playing?

Now you need to get Thongs of Virtue.

Playing Far Cry Primal and...I'm not impressed. I thought it would be a smaller, focused map like Blood Dragon was but no, it's a Far Cry 4-sized grindfest. I'm also disappointed that they didn't animate the saber-tooth correctly. Saber-tooths generally only attacked large herbivores by driving their canines into their prey with their mouth closed and used their neck muscles to lacerate it. Instead, they make the same old mistake of making the jaw open ridiculously big. Saber-tooth had really weak jaws compared to most cats. There's literally no sense in having saber tooth cats attacking prey the same way other cats do. They simply didn't. They'd be terrible at it if they tried.

Edit: It finally clicked: the problem with Primal is it is literally an asset swap Far Cry 4. If you didn't love Far Cry 4 to death and crave for more, you're not going to like Primal. I was ready to quit FC4 when I was 33% into it because there's so much open world grind. I perceviered though and finished it to 100%. I was ready to quit Primal at 1% because of the strong sense of deja vu.

I'm enjoying Destiny 2. Picked it up after it was given away for free. I got burned out on the previous Destiny after TTK and before the last expansion. I was wary to get back in after all the disappointments on game 1 and it looked like year 1 of D2 was a disaster. However, the game looks to be in a much better state after Forsaken. They actually bothered to try to tell coherent stories now, yay! It's not the best story but I just hands down love the mechanics of the game. It also seems like they've done away with the super bullet spongy bosses too. Sure the game still has issues but I'm enjoying playing as a Space Warlock blasting things across the solar system.

If you're looking for a recommendation it's no Oblivion or Skyrim but I think the main story is worth a play through. Haven't played in awhile, so I don't know much about any of the newer content.

Thankfully, the compulsion has died down now.

Now I have bigger things to worry about. A big tooth filling popped out. Dental care is a killer in the States

For those who have some insight into shadow warrior 2 - if I have the revenge skill and pair with some life draining gems on my armor and weapon,can this bring me back to life or am I gonna be dead anyway ?

Still playing Destiny 2 atm... here's my progress so far. UGH that one point before hitting the 550 power level mark...

CS:GO Danger Zone is so much fun. Seriously, it's not a Fortnite or PubG clone, something completely different and really good. Just got my third win after figuring out how the game works today: the last guy planted a bomb and tried to kill me since he knew I was hunting him, but ran back inside when I started shooting him and I won because he blew himself up.

This mode has renewed my interest in CS:GO.

There's no way to revive with Revenge. Second Chance is the skill you want to self-revive by killing the demon that killed you. Revenge activates so you can inflict as much damage as possible (read: kill those you wounded) before being teleported.

This is all I can think about when I hear people talk about CS:GO now.

I've been flitting about in the Far Cry series recently and have started FC3 again (it came with an FC5 dlc), which so far is my favourite. I completed FC4 to around 70% and I can't remember why I never finished it.
I'm also playing Primal, and although it satisfies graphically and suits my lumbering pace, it is a bit of a grind, if I'm honest. In fact I'm currently stuck atop a mammoth, trying to defeat a herd of rhinos and I'm finding it almost impossible to kill the critters.

Sprint/charge into them and intercept their attacks with your own attack. It's like baseball.

I think Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was the best. Far Cry 3 comes in second. Far Cry 2/Far Cry 4/ Far Cry Primal are tied in third (all suffer from the same grind problem).

I never thought I will say it, but now I'm sick with Fortnite. I never thought I will play it I was fighting against it all these months, playing pubg. BUt ended myself deleting pubg and griding Fortnite.
Bought 2080 +240hz monitor and I never thought it will improve my aiming skill and gameplay in general for shooters were I was playing like a noob. But now playing games feels like my dream come true never going back to 60hz ever. Not sure why I didnt buy it years ago all that suffering
And some PoE additionally.

No one knows if part 3 will ever be made

No. Revenge is pretty useless really, for that reason. Life drain however is OP, and best applied to armor instead of weapons, because you get about equal % life drain on armor but it then applies to every weapon, saves a LOT of weapon gem slots. That and crit related stats are really go-to for armor. It gives you the wiggle room to get creative with your weapons.

Thanks for the tip!
The mammoth controls are lousy and sometimes he doesn't respond. Typical mammoth really.
Anyway, I eventually found a pool further down, sat in it and discovered that rhinos don't like water, which enabled me to knock em off one by one. To finish this bizarre boss fight, I then found some rocks even further down where rhinos fear to tread (or it's a handy bug) and then did the same. 100 rhinos against one mammoth is quite a challenge.

I guess it's not too late to enjoy Rise of the Tomb Raider. It looks a bit crappy on PS4 though

Anyone reason you can't play the PC version? It'd look better, even on that 1050.

Got that on sale on the US PSN store. Never found it in a better price on Steam (even with my local currency).
I don't want to empathize too much on the "crappy" part though, it's still a great game for sure.
P/S: 1050 Ti

I'm toying with the idea of getting The Division which is on a Steam sale at 75% off at the moment. Since it's release, it's had numerous improvements to gameplay, DX12 support and the general impression from most people is that 99% of the bugs have been fixed.
I'm currently playing the demo and it's a very well polished game and very challenging.
Anyway, I've got four hours left to decide where to put my JC4 refund and it's less than two thirds of the new price of JC4.

Back to playing Astroneer. It is final Alpha build. Plays great! Highly recommend if you want a chilled out explorations/crafting game. They are always adding content.

I got one life drain gem on each of my katanas,usually with damage resist or some other good perk as the seconday bonus. I got one armor upgrade with life drain and +20 hit points too. I'm comfortable with it, I get plenty of damage with two damage boosting gems on each weapon cause I play melee only and have the +30% melee/-20% firearms amulet equipped.

If you feel it becomes too easy at some point, you can up the difficulty at any time during the story, and higher difficulty really forces you to min-max, leads to some real creativity

While cruising in Witcher 3 (my opinion has't changed and that's one of the best games ever), I remembered another abandoned game that has a somewhat steep learning curve: Evochron Mercenary. Not bad, but I haven't played enough to know how it goes when getting deeply into it. And it has some good soundtracks as well.

Opinion on the game (not mine ofc) on the 1st video and gameplay on the 2nd one.

 

[Splinterdog]

Bought The Division in the end as it was irresistible. Not only the price at 75% off, but also the gameplay and beautiful graphics.

gud 4 iou

It does not matter, what you play how you play it, as long as it triggers the right sensations.
The Division is a horrible game, but if you are happy with it, that's all that matters.

Found my love, it's called Ashen, released only on the Epic platform for a very high price. However i tried it in beta when it was available on steam and it was absolutely gorgeous. Would love to pick this up at around 15$ for the ultimate coop adventure.
The game is spectacular, a dark souls in a much more easier lvl of difficulty and in my own personal taste with better graphics.

Speaking of The Walking Dead, apparently they will finish the series and bellow is the trailer for Episode 3
