What are you playing?

I played through ME3 and Andromeda then I played through CoD WW2 and then played MP for a bit...now I'm Downloading BF1 and Injustice 2.
I'd really like to find something that really peaks my interests but nothing new does.
I'd seriously like a remake of the Burnout series.....Lighting effects were terrible in those games but were aight at the time.
 
Despite all of its bugs and design flaws, Mafia III overall is a good game. Anyone looking to buy it...prepare for a long slog. It's not story, story, story like Mass Effect. It's mostly about seizing territory like Godfather II. I saw a lot of good parallels to Scarface: The World is Yours in Mafia III. But again...long slog. If you don't have patience for going block to block in a large city, don't buy it.

Most bugs (especially progression related), ironically, can be fixed by dying. Controls suck but I was able to do well enough switching between Xbox 360 controller and mouse/keyboard.

100 hours for $20ish was excellent value. There is some replay potential (kill vs recruit, balanced distribution vs giving it all to one, presumably two endings) but all of the taking-over grind makes it unappealing. Maybe in several years.

Donovan and Clay are excellent characters.


On to LEGO Hobbit then Yakuza 0.

Yep! Definite replay value, but I had to wait 2 years when I replayed, just as you wrote. Great fun, but it is a lot of large city grind.
 
Factorio and Forza Horizon 4.
 
just beat Deus Ex: Mankind Divided pacificst...

Are other there any games like this that ppl here recommend? Looking for like a John Wick - style game (violent or not) - like this and dishonored.
 
One more bloody heavy weapon to reach the magical number of 650 in Destiny 2. >.< Gonna catch up in doing both Nascent Dawn quest step & Sleeper Simulant quest step.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, or blacklist look close.... I always loved the Thief series, and the Gold release for 1 and HD mod for 2 are nice. Prey also looks close, but it's a stretch...

If you want a stealthy, killing machine badass, there are the two Styx games. Despite it being a fantasy environment, he leaves a trail of bodies like nobody’s business! Added benefit is you can play it totally non-killing too, although you give up a lot of experience points that way.

-Consortium (more about story and dialog than combat)/Consortium: The Tower (Early Access)
-Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
-Both Styx games
-Virtually all Thief games (except the first--starts stealthy but devolves into combat).
-Alpha Protocol also very Deux Ex ish but not in the distant future...more as a government spook (highly recommend this one).
-Both Dishonored games.
-Virtually all Splinter Cell games (except the first--starts stealthy but devolves into a gunfight).
-Signal Ops... a lot of it can be done sneaky but know that it is a *very* different sort of game.
-Mini Ninjas maybe.
-All of the Hitman games.
-Batman Arkham games (Blackgate goes under 2D)
-PAYDAY 2, maybe, but there's a lot of full gun-fight heists.
-Mafia III but it's not on rails like the games above and the game isn't designed specifically to give you a sneaking path.

These allow you to deal with enemies stealthily but definitely no pacifism. They are all open world:
-Sniper Elite 3 & 4 (recommend doing it co-op)
-Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
-Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
-Far Cry 3
-Far Cry: Blood Dragon
-Far Cry 4 but I say this one with hesitation
-Homefront: The Revolution
-The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
-The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

If you don't mind 2D:
-Mark of the Ninja
-Deadbolt
-Gunpoint
-Assassin's Creed Chronicles (especially Russia)
-Stealth Inc 2 (takes after Metroid style)
-RONIN
-The Masterplan
-Monaco

If you don't mind isometric 3D/strategy:
-Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
-Hard West comes to mind but only loosely
-Invisible Inc.
-Volume
-Tidal Affair: Before the Storm
-Seven: The Days Long Gone (highly recommend this one)
-Satellite Reign (open world)
-Crookz - The Big Heist

Max Payne.
Also,play Human Revolution if you haven't.The game is excellent and it's really stuck in my memory.

I beat the arena in Odyssey and I regret it was so short cause it was great.
This was one hell of a boss fight too,beat it on first try with hard difficulty and a warrior build.I could've gotten it with arrows mroe easily but it wouldn't make such an intense fight.

I've got styx still in box,unopened.I'm gonna have to check it out but my game backlog is so huge I think I've no need to buy any in 2019,it'll be good if I finish what I still have to play.

the sleeper is one hell of a weapon!

Do you have the thunderlord yet.

If you haven't played Alpha Protocol, that one is a must. It's a lot like Deus Ex but more current instead of futuristic. There is a lot of dialogs with choices in them and choices actually matter unlike Deus Ex. It's possible to beat the whole game not killing a single person and never being detected. Game also has a ton of replay value.

Im going to second @FordGT90Concept and highly recommend Alpha Protocol! I’ve played it 3 times.

It is a very underrated game that only suffered from any real kind of promotion by the publisher, not because it was a bad game.
 
Sega spent so much on developing it they had no money left over to promote it. :roll:
 
Finished up Serious Sam 3: BFE

"He's going to moon you"... OH, I GET IT NOW!

Well, damn. Hobbit is a leg short of a three-legged stool. Didn't see that coming but a lot of the reviews mention that. :(

I still have to go back and mop up all of the collectibles and such so...even though the story is done, the gameplay isn't.
 
@stuartb04 had the Thunderlord for some time.
 
Finally got the Sleeper Simulant Heavy Sniper Rifle, collected almost a complete set of Wing Theorem armor & got the Polaris Lance Scout Rifle via Nascant Dawn quest step. What a productive day~ ^^
 
26 hours in on Mutant Year Zero: Road To Eden. This is a near-perfect Tactical Turn based game! I’ve enjoyed it all and the time has flown by. Last chapter/mission area is next.
 
the warmind.io bot I've checked on a Discord clan server I'm in says I've clocked in 221 hours of game time, participated 470 Public Events (half were Heroic versions), fastest Strike playlist was 5 mins flat (out of 129), fastest Nightfall Strike was 9 mins & completed Leviathan Raid 4 times. Spent a good 15 hours combined on Raids alone. OwO oh my...
