What are you playing?

[WhiteNoise]

I love the old Madden games and I own most of them. If I hear those stupid a** comments from my favorite commentator Madden, well then I am in high heaven and the early games are true NFL titles. Not like the BS we have these days from EA.


God damn I miss Mr Madden!

 

[Anarchy0110]

Yeah, I was actually looking forward to it too. The free to play business model intrigued me but uhm... well you saw what happened.

And the fact that it shares mobile play with PC and consoles, what a freaking letdown.

Hey, at least it's funny. How often do you get to see and official embedded in the turf?

Not too many times that it doesn't matter much to me lol, but these things are there with football games anyway.

BOOM BABY - John Madden

on-topic, playing Metroid Dread (soonish)

 

[Anarchy0110]

Oh, anyone spamming/grinding Diablo II: Resurrected atm? Just curious about how the early release goes. Heard enough about the server issues and character wiping stuff which made me a bit skeptical about swinging for it next month.

 

[WhiteNoise]

BOOM BABY! I love that guy!

 

[SN2716057]

Ugh, I need to re-calibrate the base stations of my Index again. I got killed by a hotdog in H3

And finally started with my backlog, first to play; EastShade

 

[Chomiq]

Disco Elysium, god damn that full voice over is amazing. I like picking it up from time to time, trying to get through my second play through. Maybe I will try being a supercop this time, who knows.

Victoria 2. Trying to turn these crazy people:

Into Great Power without cheats. So far so decent. Had some wars, built excellent economy, managed to retain prestige. But it's tough to have a weak army and way too often other Great Powers want to kick their butts over some trivial shit. Somehow in current game Germans became ultra chads. They managed to take some French territories, then convince other Great Powers to invade Russian to free Poland and they succeeded. It seems that they are totally unbeatable, meanwhile Ukraine as 7th Great Power still has to have various alliances just to not be beaten to pulp. I managed to annex Serbia and Moldova so far, but I avoided fighting any Great Powers over that and somehow Ottomans too. Somehow Ukraine has been stronger than Russian Empire for a while, but in any actual combat, I don't think that it has a chance. That's what happens, when all tech upgrades went into education/prestige. It sure does inflate GP score a lot, but it doesn't make nation strong. It just converts country full of illiterate morons into strictly academic country and that perhaps accelerates other tech upgrades. At least, I managed to build many factories very fast.

Started playing Dirt 4, bought it in 2017 but never played till yesterday.
Also missed Doom 2016, tried my luck and installed it hoping to find someone that still play it, couldn't believe how easy was to find a match and how many players were still online.

Overall, I am so disappointed with what Bioware did

This is how I feel about everything Bioware has done since Jade Empire.

Disco Elysium, god damn that full voice over is amazing. I like picking it up from time to time, trying to get through my second play through. Maybe I will try being a supercop this time, who knows.

I don't know. I rather play classic mode. But I've always found voice acting in RPGs to be distracting, generally speaking. Having only the first lines read was a great compromise as they were really good and set the tone of the characters.

But yes, everyone should play Disco Elysium. It's a masterpiece.

Replaying Stalker call of pripyat, and maaaan this game has some of the best atmospheres i have ever experienced, impressive weather system , lighting, and shadows, it also has some of the BEST horror soundtracks ever made, extremely bone shilling themes of isolation, dread, hopelessness, bleakness and horror, exploring the wasteland and abandoned cities with chilling soundtrack makes this an experience to remember, no Fallout game or Silent Hill game comes to the music mastery done by Alexey Omelchuk! his music vastly contributed to the overwhelming, haunting feeling you get as you explore the world of the game.
If you want to know what true horror sounds like then listen to Call of Pripyat Soundtrack !

 

[robot zombie]

@Solid State Soul ( SSS ) Yoooo! You just reminded me that Stalker 2 is coming next spring! I need to go back through the OG's again before then for sure. That one really gets me pumped, I agree that not much really touches Stalker on atmosphere. Hope they can hit on that stride again. The trailer looked great.

I'm playing whatever Jayz2Cents recommends because I now have immense respect for him. See my thread below if curious.

I've been completely pulled into Far Cry 6.

Apologies for what HDR does to screenshots.

Is there any way we can multiplay? can i add you to my Uplay friends? PM me if interested

Victoria 2, my general is a loser psycho:

Somehow that adds prestige and morale, however in real life that would be unbearable person.

You can't mention Stalker without this internet gold:

 

[Sithaer]

Started playing Rage 2, kinda wanted to play this game ever since it was relased but I never got to it and meanwhile I grabbed it for free on EPIC some time ago so might as well play it.
I do like mindless fun games like this and it seems to be good for that. 'don't have to be anything more than that'




Edit: My bad I forgot to disable DoF, game is sharper now with it disabled.

ah, that remind me that i still have it and have a playthrough quite advanced in it ... also have it on EGL (well ... i have it on BethL too ... bought the physical box back in the days at a brick'n mortar shop for 9$ in the "10$ or less!" bargain bin )

fun nervous game...

atm ...? Skyrim (SE, nearing 400hrs in it, still 700 to reach my LE quota) for now and "Genshin Impact: Zero Dawn" ... finally got the PS4/5 exclusive 5* character, Aloy, to PC version, well a month iirc, which make the wait way shorter than the 3yrs for H:ZD

for Genshin Impact:
hilarious time for that game ... 1* review bombing by ingrates kids that got upset with anniversary rewards (well ... given the game setup, design, story, aka: it's almost 60$ AAA level, it's riche to shake fist threaten and yell/cry because the anniversary event was "too small in reward" ) peoples getting banned (well that one is older but seriously? either attention grabbing attempt or they were truly banned for something they shouldn't have done) yet ... my account is still there, the reward were enough to me (and i am a f2p, mainly because i feel the Gacha is not worth, with the low rates, but the game world is worth it... farmer syndrome? heck yeah! if i can get anything i need in the game by playing it, why should i pay (other than an occasional monthly card at 4.99$ for support ) although i got stuck for long on the end of chapter 1 quest ... but now i just finished Inazuma arc ... and yeah ... AAA worthy to me

in short, peoples are getting greedy (the devs/publisher are also getting loot'boxy ... but that's nothing really new ) and tend to complain for nothing instead of enjoying what's good.

nuff, time for pics

that awkward moment when you meet the leader, but due to gacha banner, you have her already in your team ...

(i swear... my Kokomi is taller than the story one ... bah, probably uneven ground...)

epic/electric climatic moment

well, at last an Archon that is an Archon (the 2 previous were more akin to 1. a tone deaf windbag of freedom, 2. an awkward schemer ).... although a bit too paranoiac for her own good

and the main attraction... not OP, coming from a game i love, quite enjoyable playstyle... it's a win in my book


well, her ascension material need, made me finish the "side/main" quest for Dragonspine region

as they say "i had to play catch up....or ketch up, for that color"


yeah, too little rewards/compensations/gifts...

Just finished reading all of Metroid history/summary stories.

Metroid Dread just started it tonight!!! SO excited!!! I haven't been this pumped in a long time. Feels like I am in highschool again loading up Metroid Fusion, man those were some good times. Hopefully tonight is just as fun as those days!!

Just finished playing Ghost Recon: Island Thunder ....... one of the toughest FPS(no mods) games ever made in expert ......it's a lunch eater !!!!! LOL

Maybe I missed it, but what game is pictured here?

Metroid Dread just started it tonight!!! SO excited!!!

You are going to have fun! Fair warning though(and no spoilers), the first part of the game will make you feel like it's running you in circles. It doesn't stay that way. The game is training/teaching you how to play it. However, it will still kick your butt if you're not careful.

EDIT;
Hell it'll kick your butt even if you ARE careful. Those needle-heads are a pain..

"Genshin Impact: Zero Dawn"

well ... Genshin Impact actually .... i added Zero Dawn because they recently gave free Aloy as a 5* character for the game (collab PS4/5 exclusive at the beginning and then shortly after PC)
