What are you playing?

[ne6togadno]

Funny, just did this. Been a couple of years since I played it, so while not fresh it ain't too bad. Started on hardcore, but that was too annoying.

same here. havent played it few years and started expert mode large world few days ago (cant cause myself hardcore with this game).
start was a bit slow as current map generation procedures put next to the start, desert biom with big underground desert but i found enough useful items and materials for tungsten armor digging bellow the start.
after umbrella i got starfury off the first floating island i've found. torn chakaram has assembled as demonic and i was like
king jelly, eye and goblin army are killed. have to kill brain and skeleton but i've started first digging well to the underworld for hellstone armor and tools.
landed several times on nasty detonators in caves to end up in a big bang and in 2 of the times i was in the dark and couldnt see it
looks like new seed generates quite a lot of those detonators as i have 2 discovered and removed before they rip me and 2 left in tact. that is 7-8 (there could be more i havent seen) for about 10-15% of the map explored.

Will consider it Looks a bit like a platformer, which I detest, but I'll watch some gameplays and see thanks for the recommendation! I think if this falls short, I'll give Enderal a shot. I've put off that one for years, looks like they've made tons of progress in the meantime.

it's 2d minecraft.
actually mojang stated in some interview he got inspirration for minecraft from it.

I'm gonna have to start looking. I would prefer disc's over downloads.

When I want a physical copy of a game I go to amazon.co.uk. There are usually boxed versions of new games available there. For me living in Canada I do not pay duties. The best though ( I am not sure if they still do it) is that if you buy a brand new game from them and the price drops in weeks you get rebates. I remember buying TW Rome 2 from there the conversion was $55 Canadian and I ended up getting another $15 in rebates.

In my previous game I built a railroad all the way down.

I've spent a couple more hours playing Monster Hunter World (a little over 20 now) and I have to admit it's growing on me. Went Rathian hunting yesterday when I saw a Diablos and decided to have a go at it. Boy, did I regret that 20 seconds into the fight. I died three times before I managed to bring it down. And with the slight help of a Rathian, no less (little fella got trashed too). And I've been using the defender set of armor that is way, way better than anything I can craft at the time. They added it to the game to help players complete the story without having to do any grinding, I think. Which I guess is as much of a pro, because it has much better stats, than it is a con, because I don't care as much about dodging attacks. I guess I should start playing proper and get the full experience.

Finished Shadow of the Tomb Raider yesterday. Very disappointed in the game to be honest. I really had to push myself to finish the game because I didn't have any fun playing it.

I wasn't disappointed by Shadow, but in retrospect, the story was weak and Trinity wasn't anywhere near as nasty as Rise, for example.
The graphics were simply stunning though and I couldn't fault the quality in that respect. Nothing washed-out there. However, Lara's character was flimsy, too accommodating and generally dull.
I'm hoping for something much grittier on her next outing.

excellent idea
why it didnt come to mind to me before

 

[Sithaer]

Finished Portal 1+2.
It was interesting in a way and not something I play often 'I'm not a fan of mainly puzzle games' but it was more fun than I expected.
I just found Portal 2 maybe a bit too long at some points in the game/story.

Started Hard Reset Redux now,I almost forgot about this game's existence.
Nice old school cyberpunk shooter.

I finally unlocked the grenade launcher in RE2 which is the best way to see a zombie in flames.

 

[cucker tarlson]

some ugly guy who calls himself the baron wanted to negotiate with our crew,so I shot all the baron's men and they shot the baron.
still,exodus hasn't grown on me as much as previous metro games.good but too cliche.
good thing it looks gorgeous

Is that the one where Sean dies...again?

He’s not in the game. He only got hired for the trailer.

Been playing Yakuza Kiwami these last two days. The plot seems to move faster than Yakuza 0. Really looking forward to the Yakuza series after the SotTR disappointment.

Between three games at the moment. F1 2019, COD4 remasted and ghost recon

 

[GreiverBlade]

blast from 2016 straight out of my STEAM library ... i started it when i bought it ... but forgot it for a while (yeah ... 4yrs is a while )


(i used to play the paper RPG and i was also a GM for it, i have all the books and even the 2 set of card games from the same universe )

yaaayyy freebie halloween skin!


graphically speaking in ultra 60fps locked 2880x1620 it doesn't look bad at all




gameplay wise it's a bit odd but still works fine

interestingly the "bearer" character (which is the main char alongside Ergo Mundus which is technically a monster ) has a strong resemblance to Clare from the manga Claymore (clothing and facial features )

that's probably the combination of 2 favorit things that drawed me to the game.

ah ... yes Ergo is the one on the back ( true form ... which was a skin for the kickstarter backer iirc ... dunno if i can unlock it like the other skins via finishing the game once )

So I installed these glowy moons. I mean, with ENB they already sorta glow. But these REALLY glow. I've always thought they were too much... thought about editing them to be a little less glowey until one night, just as that night sky was taking form...

What's that off in the distance...?

...hmm? A fire?? I don't remember installing a mod that adds wildfires.

Oh?

Spoiler: OHHHHHHHHH

IT'S THE GODDAMNED MOON! THAT'S Masser now?!

I totally get why people like this mod now Even the concept art wasn't this crazy looking. I wish I had just grabbed some video... with the clouds and billowing mountain fog rolling over the flickering stars... and all of the sounds of the night with the gentle river below, it was a really epic scene. It actually went by verry quickly. A sequence of screenshots doesn't quite grab it. Would've been a sweet time-lapse. Just in the 30 seconds it took for the moon to move that short distance the scene was already almost gone. The sky and the weathers with Vivid Weathers are so dynamic! It's huge, but having 500+ to cycle through means you're always seeing something different. So many possible combinations of time and conditions. Makes moments like these feel extra significant, because the chances of seeing something like that are such tiny slivers. I've put in over 100 hours running it and I'm still seeing crazy new shit up in the sky.

Borderlands the Pre-sequel prequel... whatever it's called. The one with Oxygen masks.
It's as mediocre in single player as the previous 2 games are. Only once have I truly enjoyed Borderlands, and that was the second game, in split screen on X360 with a buddy. Everything else is/was a snooze-fest.

Also Monolith.
A weird mix of Binding of Isaac and a bullet-hell arcade shmup. Highly addictive, each game is no longer than 40min. Visually retro, but pleasing. Nice soundtrack as well. Finished normal, gotta try to finish hard also.

Just an FYI remaster collection of 3,4 and 5 is out next week. On ps4 but I suppose they'll port it to PC at some point.

Just found out that FF7 remake will be split into multiple parts, like FFXIII. Way to milk your fans SE.

Didn't even know they were remastering the latter games. I'm guessing they are just the same game ported to current consoles (with bumped up textures) rather than a remake like Kiwami and Kiwami 2?

Yup, they've bumped the res to 1080p 60, all of the content previously limited to Japan was added, translations were reworked. That's what I prefer anyway, since Kiwami on slim PS4 runs at 920p 30. Hopefully things will improve with nextgen so that it will have more processing power to run Dragon Engine at 60fps.

Started playing Escape from Tarkov last night. woo boy....

 

[Splinterdog]

I hadn't realised that Resident Evil 2 (remake) is largely a puzzle game, which came as a pleasant surprise. There is, however, a fair bit of backtracking for retrieving objects like handles, key cards etc and maybe it's my age, but I do find myself getting lost, even with the map.
It certainly sucks you in and could never be described as boring, since there are no dull and repetitive missions for example, which happens a lot in modern games.
My stepson (23) finished it in about a week, but I can't see that happening. Maybe next year would be more realistic

 

[ne6togadno]

got my ass to the underworld yesterday.
they've changed background textures since last time i've been there
