What are you playing?

Still can't believe (altho I probably should) what they did with the Droid release of that game.....
EA has been dragging all of their properties through the mobile mud. They're cheap to produce and the market is large.

True enough. And the younger generation is already primed to "Buy More Clicks!".

I jumped back in Mechwarrior Online last night, as they had a "Play one game, and get all this lootz!!", including a couple of free mechs in 2 months.... Forgot almost completely how to play. Right up front, I shot a team mate in the back with a short missile swarm. Only took two missions to get a solid score enough to qualify for my free loot tho, and spent the next hour (plus an hour this morning) trying to remember how to play the stupid thing lol. Still, had fun.

Before that, was locked into Rimworld for several hours a day. Will probably go back after my 7 "Premiere" days burn off. Made some fun colonies, and getting ready to let the latest self-implode. You select the type of game you want to have by your AI, or "Storyteller", and I chose Cassandra, who slowly ramps up the challenges. The game is designed to select events based on what will tell the best story, not necessarily what will keep you alive or kill you, and it's definitely been interesting :)
 
I think its because the mobile gaming market especially in Asia is huge. And big market=$$$. And we all know how much EA loves profits.
 
Well I got sucked back into Sword of the Stars Complete and Void Destroyer 2, finishing a month's long "here and there" save game I started in October for SOTS and having a lot of fun at it, though at the moment a giant ship is going around kicking my ass when it "senses battle preparation"...which I was amassing all my fleets. I've beat him twice, he's beat me 4 times. We shall see if I survive long enough to go against one of the actual AI players as this is just one of the events in the game. Still one of my favorite 4X's...and I'm thinking about starting a new game in Polaris Sector. I did start a new game in Stellaris 2.2, and I'm undecided if I want to keep playing...which is a bad sign that I'll stick with it long enough to even see the mid-game. Shame.

Started a new game in Void Destroyer 2. It's such a fun game, quick to get into and have a lotta fun, but you can also stay for hours and have a blast. For a space sim with an RTS layer and ability to build fleets and essentially an empire (by taking over stations), this title really kicks ass. When Elite Dangerous takes too long and I get bored, this is what I go to. The combat is solid, the flight physics feel like the dev hit the nail on the, the AI is decent, the universe feels alive, and harsh. I have a pretty good mix of ships so far, and had some lucky battles where I really should've died... and then the last battle yesterday evening pummeled me to space dust. Damn was it a great time.

But those screens that @Vayra86 posted of GR:W have me glad I picked it up and I'm looking forward to playing it, wow were those some beautiful screens...hoping my 980Ti handles the game with good FPS...should since I only play at 1080P. I also have been playing some Doom 2016 with my sons, as my oldest is on a Doom kick lately...we have Doom for PC, SNES, PS1, I mean you name the gaming device...the kid has Doom for it or damn close, lol. Doom 2016 is just entertaining in its pure violent FPS action...ridiculous but good and the level of polish is refreshing. I got distracted from FC2 by my SOTS and VD2 runs...not sure if I'll go back to FC2, or get into FC5. I planj to save GR:W for when I'm done and ready to invest time in it...sounds like it'll be well worth it once I get there!
 
Add me anytime with GR:W if you need help in a mission.
 
So, the Steam winter sale is going well for me. So far the damage is only done by some cheap DLC and a couple of old games.
Replaying RAGE one more time, now with Scorchers DLC:

After playing with game config for a bit finally managed to get it running stable at 4K and smooth 60FPS maxed out on my i3-6100+GTX1060.
 
I'll drop a couple screens in as well. These are 3440X1440, ultra settings.

I figured a great way for quick combat kills in odyssey. I made a hunter+crit+headshot damage build and I'm using time slowdown + predator shot in combat.This is fantastic, I kill anyone at my level (35) with a single shot,even elites using death arrows.Takes two adrenaline segments to perform though,so only use on higer rank enemies.
 
One more thing I don't get about GR:W, how does such an oppressed county have enough traffic to make Manhattan look deserted?
 
Got this from opening up Xur's prized exotic engram for this week. Not bad of a reward, I think...

Have you tried The Room Three?
Yeah, I bought and played that one first. Liked it so much I also bought Two. Pity One doesn't work properly, as I can't start a new game.

Bought The Room (1) a couple of years ago. Excellent game. Reminded me of the old Pandora puzzle game from Microsoft, but better.
Regarding your issue: have you tried disabling Steam cloud sync and deleting old saves manually? Maybe that will help.

Wonder why.... the wife has that one, and played it on her laptop without issue....

It's the coca farmers, who are now a happy bunch since the cultivation of coca was legalised in 2008 by President Evo Morales. He also kicked out the DEA and now Bolivia is a much less violent place as a result of these reforms.
I often wondered why Ubisoft chose Bolivia instead of say, Columbia or Mexico. Perhaps it was simply the scenery.
 
Finished Max Payne 3 on hard. Thinking I'll try Gothic 2 next because Max Payne 3 is too much like Mafia III.
 
Loved the little update on GRW but it wasn't long or big enough. The cloak you get doesn't really work though.

Yeah, it's such a weird issue and rare. Steam already refunded the game so I just have to let it go.
 
those clouds are epic



enjoy your flight

Never liked that game, as soon as I saw dude pushing the crowd away while walking through them, I thought: "what an as*hole" and refused to play further. I think same thing happened with Saint's Row.
 
"Playing" VRChat. Idk if this is a game or what but it is entertaining in a bizzare way LOL

GRW (thanks lads to remind it!) is realy well done (almost everything, except MP).
I love scenary, looks, fit and finish.... but! The actual missions are dumb repetitions: ALL ARE THE SAME!

So my solution is to just DRIVE all over the map. Same as Far cCry 3 and 4.... (I don't dare to buy FC5 with its 'merican and 'xtian background)

That doesn’t happen in Odyssey. Other than expanding on some of the lore and the background of prior civilization it’s not like the earlier titles at all. In fact it’s a title I would specifically recommend to anyone that doesn’t like AC games.
