What are you playing?

[Sithaer]

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 ...

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

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


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

For 9$ that was a bargain.
Ages ago I also bought some stuff from the bargain bin in Tesco, got FEAR 1 and Jade Empire box copy that way.

Now that I made a bit of progress and unlocked some abilities its a lot of fun, idk why I never bothered to play this game before.
Definitely gonna finish it since I try to play 1 max 2 games before I start a new one. 'its only the base game tho, thats what EPIC gave away'

I also tried Genshin when it was new-ish on PC, played it for a few weeks but it felt quite grindy and I had bad luck with the heroes and didn't really open good ones.
I'm also a free2play player in such games and never buy gacha boxes, worst case I might buy some cosmetics if I'm long term playing the game and thats it.

Its kinda fun to play and I almost got suckered back into the game recently cause of the events but nah, gotta play my backlog games while I have time.

Its kinda fun to play and I almost got suckered back into the game recently cause of the events but nah, gotta play my backlog games while I have time.

well i got a almost 6month hiatus on it because i was stuck on a boss fight, but once passed that ... thorn in my side, the epic feel took place again (Inazuma Arc is the best storyline imho, i loved all of it and the "cutscene" were awesome) i am f2p but i am also what other call a "lucksack" although 4* are just as good as 5* that everyone want, i you care about them correctly, my usual team has 3 4* lvl 70-80 and one 5* lvl 70 at the moment, (although Aloy will take one spot in one of the 4 team i have ahah) i can't recommend enough that you log and get Aloy if it's not already the case.

one easily overlooked 4* that rock (pun intended) is Xin Yan


what i really like is the effort put into lore and background and also, although using same weapon, the fight/play style is varied between two characters

and Inazuma area is definitely the most detailed/beautiful area for me, they even put Aoshima (aka : cat island) in the area



and Watatsumi island (Sangonomiya "bastion" ) is gorgeous



i can pass on the grind ... just fool around while taking shots just freeroaming, finding a nice scenic view ... and when i stop to play to switch games, notice that i did grind ascension material/weapon upgrades without even realizing it ...
good examples : just climbing on a temple roof, hidden mats in some edges and a nice shot, or just discovering the serpent head when exploring Tatarasuna doing challenges and random puzzles.


yeah, even with all the gripes that come from a moba/gacha game ... that one is not short of "good time, it was worth it login today"
also i play on PC only, too clunky for mobile without a proper gamepad setting (iirc last time i checked only the PC version had gamepad support aside PS obviously)
edit: playtime daily is at most 2hrs since i finished all relevant story act and made up for the 6 month "loss" thus i an safely get my HUGE backlog of games (free or not, man STEAM and EGS were overly generous lately) in motion.

AC Odyssey the only one i really like, cuase the Free Play like (play what and how u want) and Greek Myths

These are the games i am playing, desktop games are separate from steam and epic games. I'm mostly playing Hellgate London , SR 4, SR 3 Remastered and Bloodhunt the most.

I finished Deus Ex Human Revolution a few weeks ago and have now almost finished Mankind Divided and they are two of the best games I've played, with just the right amount of exploration and stealth.
And I just love the air vents- can't get enough of those. Replayability factor - very high.
This is how to deal with a turret (frag grenade) if you don't mind causing a racket and there's an air vent nearby



Unless you can access security and turn the turrets against the buggers...

When I saw you say "turret", I'm now thinking about the game Defcon 5! That game was a mid-1990s super hit! Played that on the first-generation Play Station over in southern New Hampshire countless times in the late-1990s and likely the early-2000s.

Even when Defcon 5 is hard to find now! Unfortunately, somebody lost the Defcon 5 Play Station CD-ROM!

I remember the familiar voice, "Caution, turret has just gone offline". (During an alien attack, before they swarm parts of buildings) But turret #6, was normally still online, when the other turrets were knocked out, so when other turrets were knocked out, I went to turret #6 and blasted some buggers from there!

Seems that a game that should have been officially popular, became a rare item! As if it were Atari E.T.! WTF!

Impressive. You desperately need a better way to organize those icons though...

Today???? ......Some Silent Hunter 4 ......... manual torps , no external view ...... I am not very good at this and this game may be old but it looks outstanding ....... playing it in the wee hours is intense when you are being chased, sometimes for a couple of hours ...... definately NOT a game to be played for 20 minutes ..... LOVE IT!!!!! LOL

That looks beautiful!!! I fly FSX because I am to cheap to upgrade .... LOL ......I have about 10 differant models of the "Cub" and love to fly in Alaska .......

As in most games like DX MD, I'm sure I could have done better, so on finishing the game, I can now do New Game +, where you carry over your augs, inventory and credits. A bit like Shadow of The Tomb Raider.
That's definitely worth a shot!

lol. I'm use to it. Starting adding icons like that back in 99.

Riftbreaker. Tower/base defense + Realtime base building/resource management + 'open' world survival piloting a badass mech. It just blends together perfectly, its one seamless, continuous game, and I'm hooked. Fired it up at 19:00 yesterday... suddenly found it was 1 AM. Its been years since I've lost track of time like that

Strongly recommend!

RPG gear progression and crafting? Check! Complete with random/dropped Mods to tweak them and 4 gear tiers.

4X-styled Tech tree? Sure, why not? Oh... there's THREE of them :O

The best isometric combat vibe 2021? Check. Dual wielding grenade launcher + flamethrower here, but any combo is possible... I'll not spoil how fat those critters can get just yet

Seriously. Complete your life and get this shit.

Performance: 70-100 FPS on recommended/high~ultra settings @ 3440x1440 on a GTX 1080. And it looks great.

Clearly, DX12 is leveraged here, and you'll see why soon enough

That desktop is just screaming for more screen real estate. Its a temporary solution by the looks of it though

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 !

@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.

Truth. Its just such a shame that the game ends quite quickly, especially if you know what to do... make sure you replay it with one of these mods;

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

The stand-alone mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly aims to be the most stable and customizable experience for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's powered by the Monolith 64-bit engine, a custom fork of the X-Ray engine.
