What are you playing?

[Rahnak]

Finished Fortune Island and got myself the new Bugatti Divo. Gonna put AC: Unity on hold and hop on The Outer Wilds. Haven't played a shooter in ages and the comparisons with Mass Effect have been hyping me up.

Finished The Outer Worlds, stupid me, I've missed the 6th companion, oh well. It was fun, it had companions I cared about and interesting choices. I really hope that Obsidian continues to deliver original ideas to the market, we sure need those. Took about 17-18 hours.

Something else I’ve encountered in The Outer Worlds. My companions will have their own additional things they will say to or ask of NPC’s I am talking to.

Yes, I know it’s scripted for them to do, but it adds to immersion and makes them more interesting. They don’t stand there like mannequins. It’s those little things that mark Obsidian as one of the better ones. They all have their own views on things, which is nice.

9h into The Outer Worlds, just left the first planet. Really digging it so far. Love all the Spacer's Choice slogans and jingles.

Love their little quips in random conversations. The dialogue is truly the standout in this thing which is kinda what’s been missing in games lately.

”it’s Spacers Choice!“

Just downloaded SQUAD again to play the Space Crew mod. 9 man squad vs 1 or 2 predators in spaceship or outpost. Basically Alien game where thr Alien ain't dumb or OP (cause it's not AI).
For the vanilla game though I kinda regret buying this game. It's an impulse buy since I loved playing PR: BF2 so much. But first two years I couldn't play it with my old system but now that I can, I'm not the same 16 year old with infinite amount of playtime (relatively) anymore to enjoy comparatively boring game like this.

On my last hours of AC Origins play through. Can't find the last two phylakes for the life of me.
Somehow while trying to complete all the sidequests and discover unknown locations I reached the level cap (40). So now main missions (highest I faced is level 31) are such a breeze that it's disgusting. The story is quite intriguing. I can't say more.
I googled Julius and Pompey bust after meeting them in game and they're almost lifelike. Kudos to the devs.
BTW 58 hours playtime atm. One of my most time-pit single player games iibh.

Replaying the first Dead Space. Man I love playing this game. Good times.

 

[Sithaer]

Soon finishing the Batman Arkham serie and already trying to figure out what to play next 'single player'.

Meanwhile I'm trying out the Russian Lost Ark cause I'm interested in that game if it ever comes to NA/EU market.

I sort of quited MMOs but this I might play for real,so far I like it and it runs really well considering every other UE 3 MMO I've played in the past ran like crap.

Replaying the first Dead Space. Man I love playing this game. Good times.

Dead Space 1+2 was one of my first Horror type game I managed to finish back in the days and it was great,even if it scared me a few times.
I remember clearly cause at the time my 8800 GT was under RMA and I had to borrow a 9800 GT from a friend so that I could at least use my PC and play the game.
Lucky me he had 2 of them with a mobo that did not support SLI so I could borrow it for a ~month.

Just picked up Max (automechcanical) on the Unreliable as a companion.

I've missed the 6th companion, oh well.

I missed one of them from early on when I basically said "maybe".. I went back to ask him later to join, and no option.

 

[cucker tarlson]

Unity that I got for free.
Feels nice to play some pre-Origins type of AC.I missed rooftop freerunning and hiding.
The game looks gorgeous,soft shadows do take a large perfromace hit especially in broad daylight.Seen drops under 60 in a 4 year old game.
It could use better cloth physics really,the draw distance is pretty awful to look at too but you're among the town buildings at all times so it's not that distracting.
Fighting is actually kinda fun.Much better than in Black Flag.The mechanics are the same but the animations feel more realistic.

Spoiler

I missed the robot one that was in the closet on the unreliable

was there any hint for this or what?

No, you had to actually engage this person in wuite deep conversation. I thought he was a horrible human being so When he offered to come along I said I will think about it. The game gave no hint that I could not cone back to hire him laterZ

I think i know which one you skipped, I skipped him too. I'll going back right now and see if it's to late for me too...parish the thought.

Waiting for RDR2, so I'm playing The outer worlds in the meantime. I like the style, and dialog.

Spoiler: More

sassy

 

[metalfiber]

Also, companions as you noted are pretty good for conversation. The best two for that are Felix and Ellie. They have their own conversations and it’s quite humorous because they are completely opposite in all their thinking and philosophies. After awhile I think Ellie wants to feed him to a Raptid.

I hate to say this but i got him and it did make a difference. So much fact that it made Felix and Ellie agreeable with each other when they spoke about him. Not to mention when you'd put him and Ellie together talk about fighting, phew. I don't know about him and Felix yet but i've got a feeling it'll be the same way. By far he is the most annoying companion as he'll start talking to you too. So i don't know if you not getting him is a win or loss.

 

[rtwjunkie]

I finished The Outer Worlds. I have to say I ended it like I started it: extremely pleased and having fun. It’s been a long time since I just had total enjoyment in the game from beginning to end!

I explored every inch and did every quest (I think). Games like this I like to go find stuff and see things, usually stumbling onto quests and wealth along the way. It took me 54 hours.

 

[rawadinozor]

PUBG, CSGO and now trying DOTA2

 

[cucker tarlson]

[potato580+]

6gb is actually pretty low,some games use 10-11gb.
anyway,now is a good time to upgrade to 16gb if you're on 8gb.ram is pretty cheap except for highly binned sticks and it's the first thing one should do when trying to make your rig's life a little longer.

 

[Splinterdog]

Dead Space is another game that scared the s**t out of me. I got it free on Uplay or Origin, I can't remember. Then I deleted it because those creatures with the long pointy arms just freaked me out.
Back to Solitaire then.

 

[Cvrk]

Co-op in Battlefront 2 is easy, except for the moments when you get stuck in textures.

FInally, with the co-op mode i can upgrade and unlock characters that I have never played. It was impossible for me playing against real players to ever get a special character.

 

[cucker tarlson]

how did I miss Unity,this is Arkham Knight case all over again.Got bad press initially cause of technical issues,but it's a really good game.Good old type of AC with a beautiful setting.
Could be a benchmark for new GPUs too the way it looks.
