What are you playing?

Too difficult without quest markers ?
You're not supposed to rush that game. You have to clear the map for all that sweet exp, you have to pull mobs one by one.. It's like a dungeon in WoW, but you're soloing in white gear.
I'll give two examples:
1) Bosper's Bow. I emptied the chest that supposedly had it but I don't remember seeing Bosper's Bow in the chest. I tried turning in the quest but there's no option to because I don't have it. I checked all of the merchants in case I sold it but none have it. Maybe it was never in the chest in the first place? Maybe I sold it to a merchant and the merchant equipped it so I can't buy it back? I don't know.

2) Final boss battle. The moment it was done talking, I opened my inventory and changed the Eye of Innos (lost its charge to talk) to the Amulet of Innos (protective). I then scrolled up my inventory to drink the Tears of Innos. Opening the inventory doesn't pause the game. When I was doing this, the boss hit me to the ground. Inventory wouldn't close, none of the bound keys did anything, character was laying on the ground. Game FUBAR'd. I hit quickload. Game crashed.

A similar thing played out repeatedly involving the crossbow and getting stuck in an animation to shoot something that was killed by something else. It never completes the animation, so game over.
 
Completed Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D on HARD mode. Haven't killed anyone and never used life medicine. Even though I'm not into Boss but Snake is, so her death was tragic anyway. Sniper Wolf's death in Twin Snakes was similar but more dramatic.

Now my favorite MGS games are: Portable Ops, Twin Snakes and Snake Eater 3D

Now you need to do a playthrough to find all of the frogs :) Some of them are one-off chances, you miss one, you miss the end reward. You seem like the person to fancy that challenge.



Either way, yes, brilliant game, IMO the best MGS experience overall.

You're right I want to do that challenge :D but I'm playing Snake Eater 3D, it has Yoshis not Kerotans and their locations are different

Need some new wallpapers? I have 4K as well :)

There's that guy on a stick again...

closing in achieving Light Level of 640 in Destiny 2.
 
They just keep on coming.

Quake Champions and FF7 (PS1) for the umpteenth time...and still play Primal Carnage a few times a week when there are actually players on. Also...Primal Carnage Extinction is broken mess...just don't do it. First Primal Carnage is awesome.
 
Got so close to 100% LEGO Lord of the Rings (98.8%) but two of the story missions got their treasure count borked by a game crash so I've been deprived of two Mythril LEGO bricks to finish getting 100%. I tried hacking a solution but it failed--the game saves are more interconnected than I hoped. That or there's a checksum somewhere that I'm missing. In either case, I'm pretty bummed right now.

Edit: Definitely doing a checksum. If I can figure out how to update that, maybe it isn't as difficult as I thought it would be.

Edit: I got the last four achievements via hacks:
1) All mithril blocks by "fixing" the mission treasure count in the save (Caraghras 1/3 -> 3/3 and Taming Gollum 0/3 -> 3/3).
2) All blacksmith creations by using a memory editor to give myself the two blocks that are missing.
3) All characters and...
4) ...100% completion by loading someone else's 100% save and finishing a mission in Story Mode.

This LEGO game is by far the most buggy I ever played. There were four or five crashes. Having Gollum on the last section of Taming Gollum is asking for all kinds of crazy (player 1 defaults to tying rope to player 2 Gollum instead of the story NPC Gollum). Game desperately needs another update but seeing how it came out 5 years ago, that's not going to happen.

I'm still pondering a save editor because I won't be the only one with this problem and they're not likely to fix it themselves.


I'll probably give Ur-Quan Masters a try next.

Is it just me or are multiplayer games full of lunatics and trolls mostly on Sunday?
 
I played Ur-Quan Masters until I died which was like 15 minutes. :roll: I wouldn't mind playing it more but my intent was just to see how it compared design wise to Star Control: Origins. I didn't mean to legit start it because I'm sure it's a 20+ hour game.


Started Mafia III and...the controls are atrocious and extremely limited in terms of fixing that problem. As much as I don't want to, I think I'm going to have to resort to using the Xbox 360 Controller.

It really plays fine, even driving, with m/kb. I’ve got both an 80 and a 100 hour playthrough as such. After just a short while even the driving gets very controllable. Movement and combat on foot seemed fine too.

What is it that is giving by you trouble?

how's the game ?
 
I really like the prologue but most of the reviews complain about repetitiveness once you get beyond that. I'm just getting to that point so the jury is still out.

Melee is Q, cannot bind XButton 1 in game. Tried to pseudo bind it to XButton1 by AutoHotKey but the game is ignoring it somehow (might be based on key up and down events where AHK is simulating presses).
Left Alt is counter, should be a contextual melee and not its own separate bind considering how rare it will be used.
Y is pickup/drop bodies, why not just hold E? That's a long finger reach and symptomatic of too many binds.
Menus use the arrow keys instead of WASD.
Cars are 0 or 100% power using the keyboard so powerful cars always launch with a burnout. It should be gradient.

Even with the controller, whistle is on the D-pad and i accidentally hit it while pushing D-pad down to drop a body. Luckily no one was in earshot to hear it.

One of the first missions tell you to be all sneaky but then doesn't autosave when you open a door and a guy starts shooting at you. Yay! Flanked! Dead! Start the whole mission over! BAM! BAM! BAM! Why sneak at all!?!


I'm a pro with D-pad/keyboard driving. It's never an issue for me. Unless it's Borderlands (thanks mouse look steering :shadedshu:).


Edit: Managed to do the entire Prostitution Racket (first open world mission) stealthily. I'm warming up to the game despite the flaws at this point.

Playing MWO still since the 27th, and enjoying it still. Not doing too badly, altho I'm tempted to see about joining a clan for the ongoing world-wide faction battles. I've been trying to dig thru how to participate in that, but there's a lot of stuff there. Anyone here playing MWO?
 
MWO brings back memories.. to MechWarrior 2. Is it any good..will it be as good as my memory of MW2?

Nah, the games that still hold up to our memories are few and far between. Does it let you pick mechs, customize, do combined missions with 11 other people who, for the most part (and far greater that most MP games these days) are decent people? Absolutely. Nostalgic? A bit... And the graphics are far beyond MW2 :). It's free to play, with "freemium" options. There's several advantages to having the real-money currency to spend on some nicer mechs, but most of what you can do within the game can be done with just earnable in-game currency. I do recommend getting into the tutorial at the academy of you try it out. That will net you enough for a serious mech and gear to upgrade it.
 
Book of Demons. Game is hilarious and brilliant all at the same time:

The attention to detail is great. You can click those ravens on screen and they will respond; when you go down into the last act, you click a button that says 'Go To Hell'... :D
