What are you playing?

Didn't saw any. Maybe we should try more anonymous games. Most of the modern well known titles were a complete disappointment for me. BG3 is an exception, but I still can't get into it.

I totally agree.. probably will try Graven at some point too. There is a crapload of indie stuff I still need to get into

M&M X Legacy is starting to grow on me. Pretty great in all of its simplicity. Nostalgia +++.. Graphics, kinda all over the place. A bit of a lipstick on a pig feeling, but definitely better than pixelart in ultra low res.
Also a kind reminder how games have changed... except they really haven't. Most of what we got on top of this in our RPGs is cosmetic, more immersive, graphics... but mechanically...?
This game really has all the good stuff... tons of secrets, some sense of freedom, a huge world, good combat mechanics and char progression/party building.

Torchlight infinite.... For a test, got a few cosmetics and unlocked 3 heroes for, basically, free, using gift card (well free for me... I did not gift myself the gift card )



Eh, I loved torchlight and torchlight 2 also love the chara design, find it reminiscent of BattleChaser : Nightwar


The ally can run it maxed out 1080p60 @15W (well... A 5600G would do 30ish fps iirc )


And stable 58-60 even during action packed fights

CP2077 can looks nice sometimes. Fixed MSI AB now it shows all 16 threads CPU idk why that bothers people maybe OCD related.

 

[Chomiq]

I think I'll give this mod a try:

It's for Squad and it's massive.

Edit.
Patch for base game is out tomorrow so the odds are that mod will be broken for few days.

Speaking of OCD... imagine having that and driving a car that can only turn left, looking at its headlights.

Looks nice, just don't logic too much I guess

I've also tried that a while ago with one of the basic chars since I've liked Torchlight 1/2 back in their time.
I was mainly interested in playing it on my phone as a time burner but sadly my phone can't handle it well so eh I did not play it much. 'ofc I could always play it on PC since it has a client for both, dunno maybe later when I'm not busy with PC ARPGs..'

Speaking of which I've reached lvl 100 with my Sorc in D4 Season 3, took me longer than it should have since I wasn't focusing on effecitve lvl/exp grinding and did various activities instead.


Still missing 1 Unique piece for my build but it works regardless just not as well + I kinda want to try out the Fireball+Meteor variant of this build later.
At least I can solo farm the lvl 100 'Duriel' Über boss that has a higher chance to drop it so its only a matter of time. 'farming materials for summoning the boss takes time tho, ppl usually share it in parties but I prefer to get shit done on my own so ye..'

In anticipation of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered on Feb 14, there's always time for some TR Anniversary.

 

[Dristun]

I'm playing the Homeworld 3 demo.. the new camera mode I find weird.. but I'll try it and see if it grows on me.

Controls feel super convoluted and illogical. Standard shortcut bindings are all over the place, all those buttons and cluttered UI... I haven't played the original since high school and don't remember how it felt back then but this is pretty bad imho. It just constantly feels awkward, moving left hand all over keyboard and doing ctrl+ mouse buttons at the same time. Haven't played a game with a control scheme so infuriating in quite a while lol.

Oh I agree.. I have the remasters and play them from time to time. The new layout is all over the place, like they made it complicated to make it feel new. I think I will try and rebind all the keys to match the old version.

Try Rogue Trader if you are into 40K

Gave up with Sniper Elite 4 and with Steam. I tried to play one of the DLC i had paid for and even though it was in my list of DLC it stubbornly decided not to. I opened a ticket with Steam Support who eventually contacted me 36 hours later with the excuse that a "server glitch" was responsible, and that my DLC were no longer valid and would have to be re-purchased.
This would mean my 13 DLC which cost me £95.19 in 2017 would not be accessible.
I have now ceased using Steam and will not be using it for the foreseeable future.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves (GOG Edition)

Spoiler: Semi-rant

Granted I made things hard(er) by refusing to install yet another app (Galaxy). Leaving me to singly download 25x4GB files. Then direct on root of NVMe it took (almost) an hour to install. This trend continued to the tune of another +40 minutes building shaders. Mostly fine with this to remove all need for internet and abolish DRM. Nearly two hours to install is some reenacting the 00's on spinning rust nightmare though. Any other game of similar size was done and playable in 20 minutes tops on SATA SSD.

It seems to run very nicely on my pokey little aging system. Played 5 minutes to get a save file and decided to return when my enthusiasm for it was nearer to where it had been.

Doh!!!, why did you change your screen name? These moments of extra-legality are growing no doubts.

Uninstalled SE4 (Epic Steam w/all DLC ) to try some other stuff. Now that I'm getting tired of that I may try and not suck at it again.

This is why having a secondary drive(SSD or HDD) to download things to before install is always a good idea. It doesn't have to be big either, for SSD, 1TB or 2TB would work or for HDD a 2 TB or 4TB would give plenty of space.

For example, I have an SSD for my OS and three HDD's for everything else.

"Sorry there's a glitch you have to buy those again" doesn't sound right, what else did they say?

Yeah that doesn't make any sense. There was a glitch would auto-result in 'we'll replace them for you'.
I mean they're literally admitting they got something wrong. 'Buy it again'. lmao

DLC purchased not showing up :: Sniper Elite 4 General Discussions

I purchased last night the dlc : Deathstorm Part 2: Infiltration. However it's not showing up in my game at all. Would simply like to know why.

steamcommunity.com

Have you tried this?

 

[Ivan Bliminse]

I pressed for more info on this subject and they said they'd contact me by email, not heard anything, don't expect to hear anything. Not happy with Steam at all.
I've now uninstalled their software and will try Ubisoft or EA for future gaming etc...

App installs obviously = full package is stripped down (language packs!!) on backend through system info collection. Downloading the complete game w/o DRM was the entire point of buying from GOG. Installing only the required parts of full game is what I had hoped might be improved upon.

Otherwise, Uncharted was a game I've long been excited to play and held off on until this point. There is reason to believe the superior product was delivered based on reasonably well attuned perceptions of system reactivity. Improved loading times etc. were my aim.


On topic: Hunter COTW dev is taking some highly laudable advise to spend as much time as needed polishing future DLC and game updates. Speculation is building as to what form this will take after making coded public statement maximum bandwidth and possible refinements have been reached.


I'm level, mountain is that steep. Quite happy with the level of detail brought up over time across the entire game.

Yeah, that'll help...
(no offense to you personally)

Why wouldn't it? We don't know how much time has passed. 36 hours is not a long time for such a response. Contacting support and having patience is not futile, surely even you know that.

I bet it would work eventually... Just send an email every 12 hours until somebody takes you seriously...

An update, I had to stop playing this. It was really pissing me off. The control are so stupid and complicated for no reason.

Secondly, why do all the ships stop doing what you tell them when the get attack, then just sit there. Its like they are the dumbest people you could have in charge of a ship. Protect this ship, On the way to the ship, fights an enemy then just sits there. doesnt continue onto the task I asked it to do. Once I do get them to where I want them, if I move the ship I asked them to defend, they dont follow it.
