What are you playing?

Bought Disco Elysium this weekend. It is great if you want to feel sad and depressed. Honestly though, it's a great game.
I been meaning to purchase this and play. Maybe I will :) Share some light on the game after you had spent some time though.
I got Divinity original sin 2. I must say this game is just amazing. I really like it so far. I played first release but this one is much better.
It's been only one day but I am impressed with the game a lot. Pics later when I get home. :D
 
On PC
The Forest
Rage 2
And dabble with Left 4 Dead 2 when my friends are on for some classic fun.
 
I have finally reached the (main) end of ACOdyssey, a somewhat happy ending. Now I can play the DLC's.
 
Right, I was playing modded Skyrim VR for a week straight. The end.

IT WAS AWESOME. Crashing half of the time when I equip favorites and freezing at random, and couldn't stand the motion sickness combined with blurry textures and jagged edges, but who cares, IT'S MORE SKYRIM DUDE.

I like how I can pull my bow and shoot 3 arrows a second and swing weapons at the speed of sound. Even with changed controller movement distances, this made combat way too easy because you don't rely on delayed animations to do attacks. Using scoped bows makes a lot more sense when sniping targets, the extended archery tutorial/practice with Angi seemed a lot more fun in VR and takes a bit of getting used to compared to just pointing with a mouse and shooting.

The gameplay when modded with x1.3 supersampling is jittery sometimes when looking at a lot of objects. That's on an RTX 2080 and it's pegged at 99% usage with OpenComposite running instead of SteamVR. Most of the time I don't see me hitting 80 fps, which is can be a bit uncomfortable when turning the camera around.

Most UI mods and a few tools/extensions do not have a VR ports, which limits modding capability. Due to most mod authors not bothering with VR or thinking that it's not worth it, or have stopped playing Skyrim entirely (it's been almost 8 years, even I get burnt out sometimes). I'm just thankful that I could clone my mods over to VR without fiddling too long with fixing stuff.

Overall, it's been a positive experience, I like the fact that I am able to boop someone on the snoot when I want to, shoot around corners and enhance my pre-existing god complex.

Moving on, I tried VRChat. The people there nearly gave me cancer, let's just say it wasn't the same as watching someone else's stream highlights. I did manage to try poor man's Beat Saber, which I was complete crap at because everything was expert level. And there is a room with the shareware version of Doom playable in VR and you can dual wield any weapon, I had a guy in co-op with me, and he died at the hell barons, I didn't see how he was punched out of existence while I was circle strafing and he had all of their attention. Now that was something I won't forget for some time. Later on I did meet a few Brits over in a room I stayed and we started a rave that lasted for a while before people started getting banned for playing explicit sound clips. :laugh:

I haven't had this much fun in a decade.

For some reason, I am still playing Kerbal Space Program and loving it, despite their forum community being pretty friggin toxic, and leaving a really bad taste in my mouth.

Who cares what other people think. It's your own opinion of the game that counts the most. At first I thought it was just another indie game, but I found out about mods and the cool stuff you can do. I never played it myself, but I did enjoy watching some people try their hand with it.

You can probably stay out of the forums easily anyway, it shouldn't prevent you from enjoying a game you like. Keep that chin up and stick to your guns, soldier. Those negative nancies are probably a bunch of bitter people that are better off taking a vacation from the internet.

My best friend keeps saying I'm staying a virgin because I play RPG's/Skyrim too much. Nobody crashes my party!

Yeah, it just sucks when the author of the mod you love literally has decided he hates you. If he could block me from his github I'm sure he'd try.

I wanted to love you man... lol

Ignore me. Drama serves nobody. Kerbal rocks.

Finished Max Payne 3. Good but not a Great game. 7.5 out of 10 but i'm a sucker for narration in games and i like Max's jaded sensibilities. Didn't run into any bugs like i did with GTA5. I think that the reason for the month delay with regards to RDR2 releasing a month later on Steam...Rockstar and Steam are putting in extra work to get to two stores working together with each other better. Up next... Alan Wake's American Nightmare.

This fix never worked for me.

Don't listen to em...

Let me tell you something... it was my girlfriend at the time who got me into Bethesda games. We bonded over stuff like that. So if anything, Skyrim got me laid more! So you just keep doing what you're doing. It's the right choice. Maybe one day you, like me, can find yourself someone addicted to WoW who just wants someone to sit quietly next to them and share love and affection with between raids.

Gonna back up Zombie here. The Mrs. Wizard was our 'Lock in WoW raids. 15 years later....
 
Finished Alan Wakes American Nightmare...of coarse it ain't as good as Alan Wake but you got to play it if you've played the 1st one just for the story.

I got a handful of steam cards for my 50th so i picked up Code Vein. Played a couple of hours and it feels like it's gonna be a real good hack and slash. I detest Dark Souls because i never got the hang of it and i don't like dying just for the sake of dying. So i don't think it's anything like Dark Souls. Other than the fighting, i must admit that i don't know what the hell i'm doing and that's a good thing. It's been awhile since i've had that lost feeling in a game and it's refreshing.

It ought to run good on just about anything from the past 7 years or so. I'm running it in DSR with the below settings and still getting on average 100fps to 120fps...i.e. one of few modern games that's truly 4K ready.

Hold on, waifu simulator with rpg elements? Where do I sign up?

I had to google to know what a waifu simulator was....I must say, damn dude your sick puppy is as bad as mine. To keep your puppy from getting any sicker, i won't mention the Nexus mods for the game. :)
 
Now that I have finished my 5th campaign of TWWH (Empire, Brettonia, High Elves x2 and Wood elves I am planning on having a nice session with Sleeping Dogs this weekend.

Oh god... if I know the Nexus at all, then I know we aren't going there. :rolleyes:

Make it stop! GMG here I come...

Let's see what Jim Sterling has to say about it. Ah crap, it's Soul's like? With dodge working so "perfectly" like in Vampyr, meaning teleported hits? I'd rather watch some anime tiddies online instead...

or just unbox and install Catherine Full Body Limited Edition for my PS4

Well, it is early access. Many EA titles put off engine optimization until further down the road when content is mostly all stuffed into it.

i’ve had it wishlisted for a very long time, and now that its on GOG I have it wishlisted there in its place. I’m not even going to continue a purchase until that damned 30 minute timer that has so many complaining gets removed.
 
I was going to get Chernobylite but then i saw it was early access. I know a lot can happen to a game before it's finalized...so i'll pass for now.

Still progressing in Code Vein and i'm still having that lost feeling. One thing that brought back a sense of nostalgia, i had to spend some time leveling up. Most games nowadays the enemies lvl up as you do so what's the point in levels in the first place. If i even get over the learning curve of strategic offence and defense i won't need to lvl up as much. Yes the odd cheap shot is in there but in ain't like one and your dead like Dark Souls.
 
Started Dreamfall Chapters and feels hella great. Has that Life is Strange feel on it.

Dunno why I started it now and not a waaaaay before, loved The Longest Journey and Dreamfall. Hell, it's not even that long ago when I played Dreamfall the last time :)
