What are you playing?

Won this rare gem in a wheelspin prize in FH4 tonigh. It’s so special I even got a little speech about how you don’t just win goldfish, or shiny gold shorts like I got on another spin....it‘s a bit blown out because HDR didn’t work with my screen shot.

Revisiting Vaas in Far Cry 3, the meanest baddy in the series. Still looks great today and is one of my favourite FPSs of recent times.


And I find the mounted gun is one of the best ways to take out an outpost.

Do you have any graphics mods on? That doesn't really look that bad for as old as it is.

I played as Kassandra simply because in English at least, her brother’s fake Greek accent was horrendous, terrible, hideous, and would have driven me crazy faced with the number of hours I estimated the game to have back when I started. I’m glad for my choice!

I just can't play games as a lady. That said, I wish I had because you are correct about this dude's voice. It doesn't even really sound Greek. More like Guido.

Lead me not into temptation.

Has anyone come across the 'Only You' missions in Fary Cry 5, where you have to complete three timed shooting runs, followed by an impossibly difficult mission destroying six beacons?
I can honestly say that I've never been closer to breaking something and 'Only You' is a song I never want to ever hear again. It wouldn't be so bad if you get out of the missions or if parts were saved.
I don't play games to be tortured, so I'll give it a rest for a while.

I do not recall the mission being difficult.

I'm still playing The Outer Worlds... and while it started out great and the graphics are amazing... The story just sucks.. I mean it's almost to the point where I'm just going to quit because I really don't care how it ends... lol It just feels like they rushed it out the door...

That was Fallout 4 for me. About 5 hours in I didn't care any more. Even using the console to dumb crap got boring fast.

Got the expansion? Worth. Its like turning volume up to 11. I think I spent a few evenings just enjoying how you can run zombies over with the buggy



Yep.... good to read I'm not the only one then

The buggy is the absolute best. I would have put all the time into the whole game just driving around the buggy and running shit over. Actually, the story was pretty decent for that too.

It is really annoying I don't get notifications for this thread until like 3 pages of new stuff comes in.

Found it!

Here's my build, if you're interested (dont mind the gear its wearing in the link...its placeholder to get an idea). I had Toxia before but ran into a wall swiftly and surely every single time from straight melee. Now.... melee kills itself landing blows on me Finally figured out the purpose of Judgment... its a black hole to suck shit into oblivion, knock it down and then let it rage-melee on my 1200% retaliation dmg bonus.

Sentinel, Level 100 (GD 1.1.5.1) - Grim Dawn Build Calculator

Build Calculator that allows to customize any aspect of Grim Dawn character build including equipment, skills, masteries and devotion

Devotions are a super tight fit, you have to re-assign some points along the way

Still acid, still got a bunch of poison dots flying around... but the meat is now full retaliation damage. Lots of on-block and on-getting-hit procs including Vire's Fist, which is.... brutal. Almost everything I press adds a % of retaliation damage, too. This is a very, very cool build to play. You can just stand around and watch stuff fly into pieces, the faster the mob comes at you, the more physics fun

And ultra tanky. Hell I even use a shield in each hand Here's the setup without any procs.

And this is a mere 16% of my retaliation damage... Aegis of Menhir gets nearly 50% total, as a 'free' damage boost. Any attack I do also gets 9% standard, usually more, from Righteous Frenzy stacks.

My Fat PS2 and PS3 doesn't welcome a slim console to their territory.

Slim shaming much, huh

it’s there. Literally my Kassandra was faced with opportunities from men and woment throughout the game.

Well it took me 14 levels until I bagged some village doc with a grandma problem and judging by the length of cutscene horny granny was more of a giver than him. That's 3:1 so far.

Oh noes, friend is coming over and that means hella lot of beer.

Also gaming. We wouldn't be friends unless we both love old games.

Defeating Faith Seed was challenging and full of contradictory emotions, which is an aspect of gaming that I don't come across very often and is a reflection on the provocative storytelling in Far Cry 5.
We all remember the online discussions before the game was even launched, with words like snowflake and white supremacists flying around, provoking numerous arguments about cultural and social stereotypes.
Well, without spoiling, being tasked to kill Faith is one thing, but then, as the sequence unfolds and you hear what she has to say, you begin to question whether you should kill her at all, having learned what she's been through - allegedly. I actually felt sorry for her, in fact.
With that done and not without dying countless times, as it the norm with boss fights (which I don't enjoy at all), I then learn that I have a showdown with Joseph Seed who I had completely forgotten about.
One can only imagine what that boss fight is going to be like, so for the moment I'm avoiding it and simply cleaning up in other regions and having a bit of fun along the way. This is mainly because once you've started the big mission, it appears to be impossible to start the game again in a different setting.
Now that I'm almost at the end of the game with about twelve months of gameplay, It's turned out to be one hell of a game in terms of content, the open-world (up to a point) and interesting storyline, which really makes you want to hate those Peggies.
I'd definitely give a 9/10.

Spoiler: Faith battle

I’ll be honest I never actually finished FC5 because I couldn’t deal with Faith”s area, also I beat one of the brothers in Coop with a friend and it “broke it” he”s not defeated but he’s also not available...but man Faith County was just too much for me

I really enjoyed FC5. Now that I think about it, I actually finished it. The ending will get ya.

Not sure why everyone poopooed it. Maybe because it was the only Far Cry I have played.

The Original FarCry was amazing. The visuals were stunning, which drew me to that game. Tried FC2, didn't like it. FC3, etc. Stopped there after. Not sure why though.

FC5 finally got the whole “Far Cry Formula” right IMHO

gotta try that.been 4 years since I finished FC4,otherwise I wouldn't.

meanwhile,3.2 million bull rush hit in Odyssey

I've played all the Far Cry games except New Dawn and the first is still exceptional, especially for its time and has real replay value. In my opinion, that's a the mark of a great game.
I really couldn't get into FC2 and hated the brown treatment, FC3 had an interesting storyline, although I never understood why the locals all had South African accents. I've started on that one again simply because of the variety and open world.
FC4 was too much like FC3 and FC5 just draws you in, disliking the cult more and more, making you want to kill the buggers. I'll probably get New Dawn when it's on sale and I often wonder what ubi has up its sleeve for Far Cry 6, thinking that they probably aim to be controversial, either way.

I liked New Dawn it was “different“ enough from 5 despite using the same map. i didn’t like that they basically added “hit points” and it really could have been sold as good old fashioned Expansion Pack.

New Dawn is still holding its price at around $40, so I'll have to hold on a bit longer. Or at least until I've terminated Joseph Seed, the nasty piece of work that he is.
Edit
Here I am dying a lot in my attempt to defeat Faith (I succeed eventually)
