What are you playing?

Is anyone not getting notification alerts for this thread? I tested it and it seems to be fine?

I got several of them, each for this post, spaced several minutes apart.

I just finished Metro Exodus and while the graphics are great on my rtx card, the story is my least favorite of the three... The story was good up until the last part/chapter. I think I'm going to play Prey next or Titanfall 2. Oh and I'm also playing Trover saves the Universe on my Vive.

How to OC memory on Ryzen 3700X and X570 Hero. This game is an annoying one!

I’m at the 50% mission completion point in Ghost Recon: Wildlands.

@Mindweaver your take on the story being the worst of the three in Metro: Exodus was surprising. I felt it was the strongest, all the way through. It prompted another complete playthrough immediately after the first.

So much was crafted near perfectly IMO from the actions and interactions of people, to conversations and backstory. The fact that there was less of a fantastical element to it was a huge plus for me too. It was gripping, and I really felt like I was there, desperate to save them.

Corny I know, but for me, when I felt I have been part of a book (i read books by playing a movie in my head of what I read) and completely carried away, then for me the story was spot on. That’s what it did for me.

Anywho, all that really just to point out how interesting it is that two people can view the same thing and come to radically different conclusions (1st versus last). Just ignore my babbling.

I did miss the little dude from the last light. I thought they would expand on that in the third game but they didn't. Still, 4A nailed the story in the 3rd installment.

 

[Octopuss]

Dying Light again, and shitting myself every time a zombie breaks through some doors I am passing by and falls flat down on its face directly in front of me.

 

[IceScreamer]

76 hours into Dragon Age: Origins. I don't remember the last time a game engulfed me this much. I just finished the fight against Ser Cauthrien, and actually managed to beat it, even though you were supposed to lose, and get captured. I made a save just before the fight, so I can go back and see the "escape" mission.

 

[Space Lynx]

I just finished FFXIV Shadowbringers main story quest line, and hit level 80 last night. I have already done several level 80 dungeons and should be geared up for raiding by the weekend. 10/10 one of the best game expansions I have ever played hands down.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm

I was hella drunk when I played this last time and finished this, so I have no clue about the ending. Same goes with Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

 

[Vlada011]

Dead Island Definitive Edition with improved graphic.
When I play similar games every single collectible need to be found, every single side quest need to be finished.

I got Before the Storm during the Steam summer sale. I was reluctant in getting it because Dontnod din't make that one. I'll play it and then Life is Strange again...i was going to unplug Chloe this time around.

I don't know the last hour or so felt like they just added it to make the game longer. It really didn't have any kind of gameplay other than pushing the key to go forward. Plus, making your change your filter every few seconds. I still don't get that at all. Of course, they put filters everywhere so you wouldn't run out, but to me, that took away from the story. Now if I'm just picking my favorite parts of the game then the first half of Exodus would be my favorite part of the three games, but if I had to pick a favorite of the 3 games it would be last light. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the game. It just felt like take for example a great TV show like GoT how it started out really good up until around halfway through it and then they rushed to finish the series because of the budget..lol

HAHAHA...I see what you did there! GG
...I hate when people say GG. Sorry I am not on the hype train. if anything i am the opposite. Disappointed. My motherboard is on the list to get an bios upgrade for ryzen 3000 series, and I can tell you I will not be upgrading.
Intel is still very much the king by a long shot when it comes to anything. Gaming by far, and some i7 versions still take the winning medal when it comes to Premiere Pro rendering. What is happening right now on this hype train at youtubers are on is stupid. Everyone is team red...when clearly there is no fps gain and for the exceptions of synthetic benchmarks which absolutely do not matter in real work and WinRar fast archiving....Ryzen is not impressing me. .....oooh NO!~ The 3900x is actually more powerful than the very expensive threadripper 2...ahhh, who cares?! When a simple i5 gets more fps ain most titles than this new ryzen.

Don't kick meoff this thread pls I got carried away.
Just purchased Warhammer Chaosbane. Review pictures and video coming soon( i think).

So far if you do not have a co-op friend, this diablo wanna be is not worth the 23 EUR. Repetitive, 3 single level's the rest all look the same, all mobs look the same except they modified the lvl and name tag when you click on it. Classes are dull, skill tree is very very badly design. Superiority he skill 3 in Diablo 2 was amazing compared to this mess.

I was hoping for a Torchlight 2 type of experience gameplay, set in the Warhammer universe,but no. This is disappointing. I am playing in alone atm but I purchase because me and a friend will LAN Party this in the nearest future.
For a single player experience i would advise against this game.

True enough! That last hour felt like it was on rails.

 

[Sithaer]

Recently finished DMC 5,it was pretty good and might even play it again at some point.
What I did not like is that its a 2019 SP game and I had to fiddle around to have a somewhat working Ultrawide resolution working.

Other than that I'm playing Borderlands 2 since I've missed out on some DLCs + playing the new one to prepare for BL3.

After I'm done with that I'm gonna play Witcher 3,kept delaying it for years cause of various reasons but now I will get to it and try to finish it before the relase of BL 3 cause when that happens I'll drop every other game for a long time.

Age of Wonders III thanks to @Gloomanoid

@Gloomanoid very nice of you!

I’ve had quite enough of Ghost Recon: Wildlands. After 7 times getting detected on one of those missions you are not allowed to be detected, and getting reset to the beginning of the mission, I finally was able to kidnap a Cardinal. But the cheating AI which brought in 174,000 cartel members to attack me, destroy my helicopter first, then my appropriated truck, and who magically had a dozen roadblocks killed the Cardinal.

To then have it restart not where you might expect, at the point of kidnapping, but at the beginning of the 20 minute stealth mission is infuriating!! Oh, and on that subject, how, in the dark, does a missed sniper shot alert them enough to detect me? Really?! I’m the one with NVG’s they are effectively blind due to where lighting and darkness is. They are miracle workers at detecting me. All they might realize is someone shot at them. But from where? Who? In Ghost Recon they are all-knowing.

I'm having the same problem where I'm supposed to capture a pilot in a huge camp without being detected. I've captured him a couple of times (he keeps moving about, ffs) only to be detected at the last moment.
I wouldn't mind so much if I didn't have to sit through the same bloody talk scene over and over when the game resets.

 

[Drone]

Had no idea that 3D Realms still alive lol. Can't wait to play this

 

[Cvrk]

More into Warhammer Chaosbane. About 12 hours of gameplay so far. Most of it kinda wasted, because of the gameplay difficulty.
I am stubborn and tried to go for very hard level of difficulty. Had to go back to hard. Even so it's actually hard. Boss fights are insane at hard, and the levels in between pose an actual challenge
The way the game is made it kinda makes you play until the end on medium to get some level and more important items. In this game lvl don't really matter. Items are what makes all the difference. With bad items even high lvl you still take so much damage that is hard to stay alive.
So you have to finish it by yourself at medium and with nice items head on to very hard directly....after that you unlock 5 more stages of difficulty.

This all gets much more easier if you play it with a friend, and so much easier of you play online and random high level players get in. They automatically join the party and you get a tone of experience....some items. As i see the mobs will drop items for both party members.

There are no potions to buy. You get a cool-down on the HP pot. The rest is mana and/or stamina both regenerating via skills and items that you have equipped. So no potions to buy at all.

The skill tree is abysmal. By far the worst. You can re-spec but at a cost. You need gems and lots of them. Gold does not play an important role here...not at least until very high level.
No idea what level cap is.

There are 3 areas with a 4th one coming via DLC (which i imagine it will accessible via purchase). Each of these areas have another 3 areas in them. You will play / grind / farm each major area like for about 7-10 hours each. Not that fun really.

Story wise ....what story?! There is no story.
______

Back to KurtzPel,after many hours of Warhammer, going into that pvp. Getting better at those combos. Combos are everything....
Wish I could play with a big sword character as well, but to unlock that you need to purchase a DLC for 8 EUR.

 

[Komshija]

Today I was playing with wires. More specifically telephone wires because my internet speed dropped by almost 50%. My ISP couldn't solve the problem (I thought they had some kind of issues) so I went to check the wiring hub and found the problem right there. Solved it pretty fast and as a reward got stung by a wasp in the right side of my head just above the ear. So that was my gaming session for today.

 

[Vayra86]

Its glorious.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker. If you have played NWN2 - Storm of Zehir you can get an idea. But now, you get to rule a kingdom instead of be some silly trader; party of 6, DnD 3.5 ruleset (OGL), level 1-20 and absolutely massive. The kingdom management is pretty deep, but also a lot of clicking for... lots of meh. But you can automate that, or make it stupidly easy. The rest is a classic RPG from start to finish. Over 30 hours in and still in Chapter 2... this will likely take me over 200.

Compared to Neverwinter Nights, this is a million times less clunky, the difficulty is right up there (need real knowledge and good timing of mechanics or certain death), it looks very good and plays well, but there are still some bugs to clear out, I've run into a few. Bonus AC not getting counted on the sheet, lockups from alt tabbing in and out... that sort of stuff. Nothing that reloading an old save won't fix

 

[64K]

Playing Gears of War Ultimate. It's pretty fun so far.

 

[Frick]

Into the Breach, and it really is as good as the reviews say.
