What are you playing?

[Vayra86]

but if you turn it off...

Yeah I already saw a German communist takeover somewhere that just turned the world into commies without firing a singls bullet lol

And @Vayra86 Stellaris is 4X and not grand strategy..

Neehh yes and no. Youre still using a bunch of Xes here... and quite similarly if you havent got a game plan, youre screwed. When it comes down to it it feels similar in many ways.

HoI3 had no 'eXplore', so there's no 4X here.

eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate is the 4X.

Maybe HoI3 is a 3X game, lol.

Well there is exploration in the sense of finding out what forces you are up against, for one. You can see the map but not whats actually on it unless you have intel.

Alright Halo Reach is a wrap.

If anyone here hasn't played Halo games and picks up the MCC, do not play Halo Reach first. It will ruin the rest of the series for you, even though it's story wise the first game in chronological order.

Want to try something completely different. Fired up Grim Dawn for some of that ARPG goodness and some Darksiders 3 for the hack n slash.

Both look solid, but Darksider's always brings a ton of personality to the table and I love it. Grim Dawn seems like it's going to be another Doable retread in not just gameplay but tone as well.

otherwise, re4 is amazing, I love this type of third person, stroy driven games where you have a whole arsenal available.

Re4-R finished weekend before last. Super fun game, good story, cool puzzles a bit more shooting than I thought there would be. Bosses, not so much fun. Not a fan of having to craft stuff for this game. Played through 1/2 on hardcore. Some of HC isn't bad, because I have leveled up weapons - can't imagine starting from that level to start

They story length was great, awesome old skool single player experience. Great graphics too!

I disagree.

I strongly disagree. That is not remotely the same thing. In Stellaris you start as a blank slate, like Civ, whereas in the "proper" grand strategy games you do not. You have a starting condition, which is whatever state your state was in when you start the game. BTW, have you played Europa Universalis at all?

I did enjoy the bosses, but I liked these overpowered enemies even more

these alien-looking, biologically engineered things were a pita, especially the mutated ones or a few at once, but I managed. at the end, I ran out of rifle ammo, so had to use the rifle to see where to shoot through the biosensor, quickly switch weapons and finish it off with a shotgun


the bull headed guy was cool too, and the ones that grew spores out of their heads, especially when they came in groups. the spider-infected cultists that ran so quickly scared me a little when I saw them rushing like crazy lol


the blinded ones with metal claws were fun too, quite easy with stealth, but very cool to sneak around and one-shot kill with a magnum once in good position


oh, and this one I still don't know if you could kill cause I ran from it, sprinkling it with acid whenever I could


In the end, I'm very surprised how much fun I had with guns in this game. the best thing is, it requires you to know what weapon to use and how.

LOL! Nice Job!

I thought it was liquid nitrogen? It did seem to freeze for a while. I think it can be killed with the rocket launcher - but you need the infinite one that you can only get after finishing the standard game, IIRC. Otherwise, yeah, run Forest, run!

I liked the array of weapons, just didn't like running out of ammo against hordes or bosses. Probably a lack of skill on my part since I'm used to FPSs with plenty of available ammo.

Re-writing D-Day here with two planned operations
Resolute Eagle - to free southern Norway and relieve the Norwegian front, attacking Ze Germans in the rear, to follow up with Denmark or Northern Germany afterwards
Defiant Phalanx - I hate my country atm so they get treated later and instead I'm building a bulkhead in Willemshaven to push south into Rhineland (factories!) which will later create a pincer move into central Germany with the Resolute Eagle force.

And if it fails I've got nukes.
This game is 1944/10

Yeap that looks mint. Clean, defined. Not oversaturated or underlit.

Had Nobody wants to die on my wishlist for a long time and decided to pick it up. A pity I couldn't jump and try landing in a cab.

I like the style and atmosphere.

I really enjoyed this game it's just sad the story is so short

 

[xu^]

same old stuff ive been playing for the last 2 or 3 years, couple of RTS remasters, Forza Motorsport and that's about it.

Nothing new appeals anymore, they all seem to be pretty much the same games with diff skins lol
i don't like huge open world games at all, and not a fan of swords either.

wheres all the interesting stuff that used to come out all the time, maybe i should just retire from gaming

 

[SirKeldon]

To treat myself after updating my rig a couple of months ago, got recently 4 games I hope to enjoy it for a little while:

• Doom Eternal
• God of War
• Forza Horizon 5
• Red Dead Redemption (pending to start yet)

So far, after retiring my almighty GTX 1080, it's the first time I can finally crank up on the settings for my 3440x1440 and oh my god, looks are stunning, specially GoW and Forza. Feeling like a kid again

How complex would HOI4 be to a CK2 player?

 

[Macro Device]

DXVK makes GTA IV ultra playable at maxed out 4K (6700 XT).

I have no idea about CK2. But I find myself reading guides to figure stuff out. Its a total mystery otherwise. Tooltips are good but only get you so far.

Damn, already spent my self-imposed allowance on the Steam spring sale... I remember seeing a trailer for this game and wanted to give it a try, but totally spaced out to put it on my wishlist.
I guess it'll have to wait until summer. Meanwhile, I'm gonna play the crap out of System Shock remake.

 

[Mindweaver]

After finishing Satisfactory I started playing Dredge. It's really good so far.

 

[bartekno]

Im constantly focused on microsoft flight simulator 2024, sharing time with shapez 2 and some simracing titles like ams2, lmu and acc
But from time to time also jumping to some sony titles like spiderman 2 and microsoft gamepass titles like cod bo6

 

[Splinterdog]

I've just been playing The Crew Motorfest and hopefully I can turn off the moronic commentary at some stage. Also the game is locked at 60 fps, ffs, evidently to prevent cheating! Forza has never had these limitations.
It all seems a bit cartoony to me, so I'm in two minds as to whether to go for a refund.

 

[Zazigalka]

finished re3, might replay but last chapter of re4 and whole of re VIII that I got today are first in line.


started RE VIIIage
1st person view is a lot better than 3rd actually. It really put me off in RE 7, enough to make me just stop bothering to play, but I like it in RE8

 

[SN2716057]

A bit of Nobody want to die, and GTA5 Enhanced

I can finally max out all settings..now lets see if my mods still work..
