What are you playing?

[robot zombie]

edit: i do not play with the 4K texture pack ... 155gb needed for it is overkill xD and the game already look awesome as it is (and i would really need to upgrade my rig ... )

*Checks Skyrim game folder w/4K everything; some 8K*

124gb, yep.

 

[Ruru]

Ah, I remember when I had 2x 40GB HDDs and it was enough for everything, didn't have to remove games in order to install new ones very often. IIRC Final Fantasy XV and Dirt Rally 2.0 are the ones on my library which take over 100GB

Finally managed to upload the video about that FF IV boss:

124gb, yep.

ah for Skyrim i always use 4/8k textures pack

checking....

awwww just 101gb i can do better

aherm now i want some cup noodle ...


another "collab" Terra battle (frick .... that game is in my google play wishlist since launch day but "not available in your country" )

ah it's Sarah

oh well a "dark" Sarah? uh? Noctis thinks like me ... always stick with the dark one ... more fun


uh... phase 2 crazy Sarah?


ALWAYS STICK WITH CRAZ..... on a second though no... that entity think of herself to be a god and want to erase a world ... back at standard "alternate world saving" then ...

After I accidentally had my Noctis customized, there's no going back (except those quests where he needs to have his default look)

Old pic but still the same looks.

ahhh the Avatara concept introduced with Comrades expansion (which will shut down MP play in June 2020 but still be playable with NPC in party )

Damn, haven't even tried it, I need to check it out while it's still possible.

Haven't played all the DLCs yet, played the Gladio DLC on my friend (my own savefile of course) but I can't remember did I complete it 'cos I was pretty drunk at the time. Bought the Ardyn DLC since it was the only one which needed to be bought.

e: This cat was hella cute :3

Solid battle strats there.

Solid battle strats there.

I realized how OP my characters were when everyone had the best armor which nullifies almost every debuff and those Cursed Rings absorb elements.

That's what I meant. That battle could have dragged on A LOT longer if you didn't know what you were doing. It was a battle that was downright brisk.

Starting to look like a better base factory. Now I can deconstruct the old one.

Satisfactory on the laptop.

A game within a game. Only 2 levels though. >Observer_

Finally got Witchcraft and Wizardry working.

I finished the Leon campaign of RE 2 Remake on Hardcore. It's pretty good. Will continue the game with Claire's POV next.

 

[Sithaer]

Finished Black Mesa finally,that Interloper chapter might just won my most hated map/chapter in any game I played.
Previously it was Black Throne in Darksiders 1,now I'm not sure which was more annoying to go trough. 'a puzzle here and there is fine,but entire maps designed like that.. hell no in my book'

RUINER is kinda fun,fairly challenging but the gameplay is addictive.

Close to The Sun seems interesting too,at least I like to play such 'detective' type games every now and then for a change and now I definitely need to play something that wont trigger me.
Performance is rather bad but eh,nothing new with UE 4 games not running well on AMD. 'slow game so I don't mind it that much anyway'

Taking a little break from Pathfinder, 3 chapters to go I believe. Game is just too much for one binge...

It seems like Stellaris is in a pretty good place with 2.6. I like the Federations expansion so far, even if its not all that meaty... but they introduced Origins and its such a cool world building feature.
I mean, building a custom race and picking from stuff like this (in addition to all the usual traits and ethics choices you can line up)... *drool*

How is this for inspiration on building custom races:
perhaps a touch of Avatar (see mouse over)? Or a homeworld that is a Ring World to really go 'tall'? Or a civ that survived nuclear war on the homeworld, which is now a barren wasteland (and you thrive on it)... The game is totally reinvigorated with this, I can think of a dozen settings right now There is even a super challenging one that says you have 35-45 years to escape your homeworld which will then be destroyed by some event. @Kursah are you in the loop?

And... playing this game with the Mass Effect OST underneath, mixed with the rest of the game music is glorious.

If you're looking for a space 4X or didn't give Stellaris benefit of the doubt at launch... jump in. Well worth it.

I'm tempted by GRID 2019 which is on 60% sale at Steam until 25th April, so I dived back into Grid Autosport and attempted to complete a race without any collisions of any kind. I soon discovered that zero collisions means coming last, because the AI is so aggressive that you need to stay far away from any other cars. If you get in front of one, they'll just shunt you and you definitely want to stay away from the pack.
Anyway, it was an outstanding challenge I wanted to finish, but was as dull as ditchwater since you really become a spectator and you know you'll finish last.
Still one of my favourite racers though and I like the aggressive AI as it spices up the racing.
Here I am waving to the current occupant of the White House.

If you mean the big one that chased me trough an entire chapter then yea it was a tough bastard but tbh I did not mind it that much unlike the parkour zones where I fell off at least hundreds of times in total and had to spam my quick save/load button.
Thats what I don't like about really old games,old graphics I can more or less ignore 'Black Mesa looked okay tho' but the dated gameplay mechanics and controls can and do get on my nerves/test my patience.
Its the main reason why I try to limit my old gaming to ~8-10 years old games at most,there can be exceptions ofc depending on the game.

Some early game pics from Close To The Sun:

Apparently Tesla is a big part of this game which is cool since I like science stuff in general.
And yea the FPS is around 40-55+ on High settings,Very High tanks my frames quite a bit for not much extra but the game looks pretty good already on High imo,reflections mainly.
Edit: Make that low 30s in bigger open areas with a lot of light sources.

Games like this and fighting games are the only games I play with a controller since I don't have to make quick camera movements/aiming.

Resident Evil 2 remake

 

[Sensates]

Been playing a lot of Paladins. It's been fun learning the characters and I'm shocked how much I'm into this game.

Also replaying Bioshock Infinite. Miss having a immersive world with rich stories and characters, and not copy paste, bland open worlds with meme characters..

And I can't stand Valorant. Watching for 5 mins feels like eternity..

Finished 3rd palace in P5R, wasn't that hard, pretty much closed it within 3 days. I only had to remember to switch persona with fire element weakness at the right moment to one with drain. They're really pushing player to use status ailments. Somehow I feel like changes made in Royal were introduced to make the game much easier to play. Merciless doesn't feel hard at all.

I only played P5 on normal difficulty but the hardest thing for me was managing SP. Especially later on with enemies resistant to physical attacks.

In Royal they introduced new mechanics which allows you to recover SP in combat. There's also a new way to purchase SP items in Mementos that can be used in palace raids.
Merciless is sort of high risk high reward mode. You deal more damage on enemy weak points but it works both ways. If you're smart enough this can result in low level boss encounters finishing in a single turn.
With physical resistance and no elemental weakness you have to shock, freeze, put them to sleep, confuse etc and then use proper attack.

I've been off here for a few days. I broke my big toe, and of course I've not gone to doctor, no way not now, and pain has been awful. With Covid around we can't use things like Advil. Tylenol does not work, at least not any better than eating a piece of fruit, LOL.

So instead, I've let myself into the highly addictive State of Decay 2 I started 5 days ago. I've put in an unbelievable number of hours. I appreciate getting to punch the ticket and move onto a new map. This one is semi-desert community in mountains, so it's arid more than anything. I've managed to kill of three of my best people so far...unintentionally. Well, the last one was a certain death, being piled on by about 50 zombies. I did the only self-respecting thing you can do....drop 5 molotovs in quick succession! yep, I took most of them with me.

I'll get a few pics up after my workday ends and I can slide over to my gaming computer.

This was a really surprisingly good game! I was on the fence when it came out, and just decided I liked the premise. I was glad I did it!
