What are you playing?

Still playing Kholat and it's been a lot of fun so far! A whole lot of exploration, weird for a survival-horror-ish game to be open world like this. But yes, it's a very pretty game that really has a lot of tension and atmosphere working toward something unsettling. It has the notes and all that piece together the story of what happened, and it's proving quite intriguing. It even throws in a nice mix of scenery and locations, not just pure snow.

To share some sceens

Spoiler

Just hit this place and it's pretty awesome

The only complaint is the constant low fps. Looks like everybody has this issue judging from my googling. It sucks but the game still gets a recommendation from me!

Finished Far Cry: Pimal, now it's time to finally try Tomb Raider from 2013, and probably continue with the sequel.

Funny, I was just thinking of that game as I was playing Kholat. What's your opinion of the Far Cry Primal? Good/decent? How does it compare to FC4?

They completely changed the theme and added new features, you still have things like outposts and camps for example. Story isn't too linear and the change of sceenery is welcome. I enjoyed it. Performance wise, game is well optimized with no noticable bugs or glitches, I think I was surprised by the loading times the most, they are extremely fast, and I played it on your usual SATA3 HDD. I personally dig the "new" 10k B.C. theme.

Just finished Kholat, and I have to say that I really liked it. Other than the poor performance and low fps (had to drop settings to low to maintain decent framerate), it was enjoyable for me. Obviously, gotta like the tense kind of games... looking at you @FordGT90Concept Thanks again!

Some reviews I've read by users point out it is vastly an unfinished product yet, and very unrefined. What there is though is decent. It's on my wish list, has been for awhile, for when it gets out of early access.

That's right it's unoptimized but playable. Unfortunately many indie games on gog are unpolished and suffer from fps drops or crashes but they're interesting and have potential. Then again even aaa games these days are messed up. I'm glad that Layers of Fear and Republique turned up great. System Shock remake should end up well too.




Still playing Sonic and the Black Knight. Lol just kicked King Arthur's ass and found out he wasn't the final boss lol. Pretty tough game, boss battles require 100% accurate timing. Normal levels are tough too. Practice practice and more practice.

Played some more Rayman Origins today. I've just entered the second world. I hate myself for wanting to get every single achievement in every level in this game. It makes progression much more slower than usual.

Never played the series but I wanted to play Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 and 2 on Wii, however those games are way too grotesque and full of madness lol

Dafuq is happening in that game But this is so original that I'm definitely gonna play this after I complete Sonic series

 

[EzioAs]

That is one of the weirdest stuff I've seen in a legit game. You should definitely play it @Drone

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Raving Rabbids is awesome. I think I have all of the Raving Rabbids games on Wii.

Just Finished STALKER SoC now playing thourgh Clear Sky then off to CoP.

Sorry for the excessive photos posted here....But I love this game and I am afraid it may not last on the PC due to all the BS that's been going on over the last several years with developers. There is still hope within the Hawken community that the game will get the things it truly deserves and become the game everyone saw when it was first released over 4 years ago.
If anyone is interested in a unique FPS with mechs that is fast paced (with a somewhat high learning curve) please try it out. Granted the player base is very small on the PC, but it's also now playable on Xbox 1 and PS4 with a much higher player base and that is where the devs are focusing their attention on right now. They have stated that once they feel the game has been better optimized on the console versions, they will then address the needs of Hawken on the PC.
So I feel there is still hope for it to continue and not fade away...There is so much potential here it would be really sad if that did happen.

It kind of reminds me of the old mech online games on the Dreamcast I use to play on my Uncle's Dreamcast. Those where a blast to play back then.

I think I am almost done with Bioshock Infinite. I will say this.....I greatly greatly dislike Lady Comstock ghost. Talk about a pain in the arse to deal with.

Edit: Finish Bioshock Infinite. Interesting story line, though still think they did not fully explain some things.

 

[rtwjunkie]

Finally finished the story in Rebel Galaxy. I quite enjoyed it! You can keep playing the big open sandbox as long as you want, but I have lots of backlog.

I logged about ten more hours in The Solus Project yesterday. What an incredible game! The visuals, the sounds, the incredible immersiveness of feeling like you are trapped on a planet alone....or are you? It's extremely suspenseful, with this team doing a masterful job at it.

I just spent another 2 hours on Rayman Origins. I try to finish one world per day, so hopefully I can end it before the weekend. That said, the time trials in some of these levels are seriously hard to beat. Sometimes I have to repeat them for about 20-30 times.

 

[Ithanul]

Playing Talos Principle after I just finish Pneuma: Breath of Life. Definitely so far a very nice puzzle game, and first time I came across a game that some deep philosophic stuff in it.

Alright so I've still been on Thief and lemme tell you how my ass was about to become a brick laying machine. I absolutely hate horror games and that asylum chapter just about ruined me.

Fish/10 wouldn't sleep again.

Finish Bioshock Infinite. Interesting story line, though still think they did not fully explain some things.

If you get the 2 DLC's for Infinite all will be explained, wrapping up all the questions you have from all three games.

Yeah, that part was pretty darn creepy. Though, it is my favorite part of the game because of that. Almost felt like I was playing one the darn Amnesia games.
Thankfully not as bad as the second Amensia game. I never ran around like chicken with head cut off in a game before until that last area. Though, I still think the invisible water monsters in the first still unnerve me big time.
Of course I want to get Soma and play that.

Yeah, I plan to nab those during the Winter sale if they go up for sale. That of course after I get around to playing the first two.

I play horror games, but they do creep me out badly if done well. That section was one of the best done in Thief. I had goose bumps more than a few times.

@Ithanul definitely play at least the first one (Bioshock) before those DLC's or it will too much of a giveaway of the plot of Bioshock.

My youngest boy and I are getting into Empyrion - Galactic Survival and Ashes of the Singularity.

Ashes is probably the easiest to setup MP-wise for him since SupCom2. While SupCom2 is fun... Ashes is a riot. The 1.3 patch sped things up and the overall experience for me has been awesome. The game looks better AND gets better FPS...the game speed is faster. AI to me as a casual gamer is very good. This game also runs great on my boy's PC...see Family PC 2 in my sig.

Ashes is definitely more than a benchmark. The upcoming expansion is going to add more as well. RTS fans...keep this on your radar. No its not SupCom, it doesn't need to be...but it is Ashes and in its own take on the genre is definitely improving and adding complication and more strategy to the mix.

Empyrion was recently on sale...so I picked up a couple copies...I'm not really the Minecraft type, Rust (in any of its iterations since 2014) and Ark didn't really do it for me...nor did Space Engineers. But this game so far has been pretty damn fun...and while I can quickly tire of grinding...it hasn't struck yet. I'm hoping I can find a survival game that can keep my interest and its looking like sci-fi is the way to go!

Then I am still personally going through the surprisingly good Rodina and the epic destruction and skill testing Brigador. These two are true gems that are genuinely fun to play and have their own uniqueness about them.

Yeah, I like playing good horrors on occasion. Reason I want to get Soma later, but after coming across trailers of Scorn. I can't wait for that one to release considering I am bit of a fan of H.G. Giger's work and it is heavily influenced by his work.

I haven't but I will be checking it out now that you mention it, thanks.

I hate that creeped-out feeling in horror games but I can't stop playing them. When I'm playing, I get all creeped-out and tense, anxiety, and I say that I'm going to stop...and then I keep going.

I like the idea of being scared in a bad spot and not being able to fight back. It creates such an anxious situation

Thanks for the recommendation, going to check it out. I only know Giger from Alien (another favorite of mine) but I can dig it.

I just finished stalker clear sky and playing through Call of Pripyat now. I plan on Playing Aragami next, its an indeo game but really cool.

Another day, another time spent on Rayman Origins.

I'm getting close to the end (probably).

Didn't realize this game has boss battle(s?). Not really that challenging to be honest. I would've preferred the normal jump and run, but whatever.
