What are you playing?

[64K]

Replaying the first Borderlands. Not doing it very well though because I broke my left hand a few weeks ago.

The game is a lot of fun for me. Playing as Roland the soldier class. I like plopping down that Scorpio Turret and let the carnage commence.

Left-over from the development versions maybe?

dunno,they didn't give the sisters the ability to dual wield rifles and shotguns in youngblood,so I think they wanted to do something original instead.

Spent the better half of yesterdays' evening to get back into Hellgate London. What, you say... yes.

Success.
Hellgate 1.18 fully patched up, modded with Revival 1.5b and ready to go. Not that crappy (2018 Global) Steam release

Can recommend, if you like your Borderlands, Diablo etc. This game still feels like its full of potential, some of it realised by now. Great dungeon crawler/loot game.

Still haven't played this again since re-release, but sorely tempted.... Maybe once the Grim Dawn bug gets clear of my system

DO NOT PLAY the re-release. Its utter crap

 

[WatEagle]

Right Now Battlefield V mostly for war stories but also the multiplayer is funny but full of cheaters.
Then Metro Exodus and rainbow Six Siege

Yeah, I had seen that it wasn't nearly what it should have been, but the release ignited my itch to get back in. Went to the website you linked, and that looks like a lot of ... information? Heheh. What does the revival mod do? Is it SP or MP or both? Are there still people playing MP, if there's still anywhere to link up?

If you want MP, look for the London 2038 topics I haven't gone into those yet, but that covers MP 'revival'. For SP, check out the SP Modification https://www.hellgateaus.info/modification/ on the normal page (not a forum post). The revival mod basically adds the good stuff from patch 1.2 (the last Flagship studio's patch) and gives you the game as it was 'frozen in time' since then. This then allows you to mod it with Revival, which adds tons of quality of life features and adapts the game for single player (some rebalancing, easier access to respecs and extra content).

You can also use that version of the game to mod to your heart's content, as in, write and cook some XMLs for customized gear or new recipes for the transmog cube (yes just like Diablo).

Caveat: you need the original ISO to patch up to 1.2. Can't do it with Hanbitsoft's recent Global 2018 release. Real gamurz know where to go lacking the physical disc and if you don't, PM me.

Thx, got it somewhere on my shelf of "the good old days" I'll dig in sometime this week, I think. I'm burning out a little on Grim Dawn, and want something a little more fps right now, I think....

edit: found it, now just gotta make time to load things up...

I'm been held hostage for 100 hrs by the Inquisition...Dragon Age Inquisition that is. I know this is my third time playing it but i've ran across of many things that missed three years ago. The banter between crew members is perfect. It's not annoying, sometimes funny, educational, or in the moment. The conversations are meaningful and choices matter. Graphics have aged real well. The story is good. The exploration is excellent with vast areas to explore. Although, i don't use the horse I just run everywhere. The crafting of armor and weapons is also top notch...it's all good or better.

Well, Stockholm syndrome has set in and i've gotta go.

 

[biffzinker]

In the end, Alien Isolation completely drew me in and although I was palpitating most of the time, i finally managed to finish it after 37 hours (over three years).

Need to finish the game myself. I stopped playing because the sudden spikes of my heartbeat likely isn't good for my overall health.

 

[Vayra86]

Spent a good 15 minutes whacking away at this ugly POS

Got two rares for it... sad story.

Game also has a tendency to give you a quest and spawn just enough mobs/item drops in the designated area to make you run around the place five times for that last mob that should drop the final quest item. But nooooo you missed it somewhere and it won't spawn another.

Other than that, good times!

 

[AsRock]

That would be a correct assessment on your part! The first and two addons was a fairly realistic and good, though challenging game. Then the two Advanced Warfares came after . They were a little less good, but for me, they were close enough to the feeel of the first game to feel like pure Ghost Recon.

GR: Future Soldier for me was much more arcadey. Now Wildlands is a mess with checkpoints which are so far apart that death means replaying huge parts of the game. Additionally, it has been simplified into even more arcade like elements.

So yeah, it’s been a downward trend.

I got GR 2 and 3 and stopped as they were just just pos, Ghost Recon 1 with addon with tourny missions were the real game was and UBI still today not got it right as they don't want to release a modable game with 1-8 players with spectators that other other people make missions for with a dedicated server that you run your self.

I have no issue spending hours on a mission even more so with a bunch of friends, but that heli sounds like total BS.

I heard of people who still today love GR1 and it's way better even if the graphics are not. Although might be hard to get some of those missions today as it's been so long but they may be around still and they were played as one life so dead is dead.

No games out for years now come any were close to it.

It really is a gem. I plan to replay it again soon. I don't know if you already know this but the Morrigan character is modeled by Claudia Black and she does the voice as well. She is one of my favorite Sci Fi characters. She plays a character in Far Scape and Stargate SG-1 and in the movies Pitch Black and Queen of the Damned.

She was all so in Diablo 3.

I’m back at AC: Odyssey play. I’m digging into the Atlantis DLC, which seems to be pretty big.

i still have my original too (and the 1st tome of the comic related to it ...) ... AND THANKS FOR THE INFO!


although right now ... after playing a bit of MH:W i got tempted ... and took ...

(code in a box from a local retailer ... because physical box are a trophy)

oh well looks nice graphically, i liked the original Rage for a lot of things ... that one well, not bad either.

The Atlantis DLC? So far it seems to be. The gameplay is much like the rest of the game: clear an area, reduce each bad guys’ hold over each plane (in the case of Atlantis, Greek gods). Right now I’m in Elysium reducing Persephone’s influence with the assistance of Adonis (trapped there as a human) and Hermès.

Atlantis is no longer any historical context like the main game (which also mixes in some mythology), but pure Greek Mythology. I’m ok with that, as it gives them more creativity. Really though, it is the same concept as the last Origins DLC (Curse of the Pharaohs), in which you go to various planes of the Egyptian afterlife versus some of the Egyptian gods.

 

[Ahhzz]

Loaded up Hellgate and the Revival mod. Took a couple of minutes to find out you had to actually create a character for the mod to have enough data created to "mod". Only had enough time this morn to make it to the first waypoint/portal and had to head to work, but I'll ignore the pressure washing tonight, and grind around a little, see what I can blow up

I was going to ask you how it ended for you. Let me know maybe in that other thread under spoiler if you will...pretty please.

Ok, will do! I didnt play last nightt so I am behind.

I did see good news tho! Another Lost Tale of Greece dropped yesterday, and Ubi says there is another in September. These, all being free, are probably the best part of the game, since they are all really well done and add to the historical perspective and world being a living place illusion. June’s was tremendously funny! Loved it.

 

[metalfiber]

I must have it bad. I had a dream last night about the main character in Dragon Age Inquisition . The only dream have had about any game that i can remember...it really is Stockholm syndrome i guess.
