What are you playing?

[dcf-joe]

I had my best round of CS:GO last night. I know it is not impressive to a lot of you, but I was impressed with myself and my teammates.

I am player: Cringeworthy

Dragon Age Inquisition is quite parallel to Witcher 3. where Witcher 3 delivered more on gameplay, Dragon Age Inquisition delivered more on story.

I dont think it deliveres more in terms of story. I just got much more attached to the characters in DA than Witcher (for some reason), thus i was more intrigued to find out was is going on, all the lines of dialog were more interesting. If you think about it, like i said before, for every fetch- quest there is so much detail involved. Often you get all this back story about the characters and what's going on.
I truly hope ME wont be like DA.
Thank you for all the Gwent advice

The reason is obvious to me: characters in Witcher 3 are hello -> goodbye. In Dragon Age Inquisition, most of the characters you run into frequently and up to three of them accompany you for long periods of time. Gearlt is a loner mostly talking to quest givers for a few minutes, doing stuff, then collecting reward. You can't really ever get attached to anyone because interactions are so brief.

DAI and MEA run on the same engine and there's obvious parallels between the "Inquisitor" and the "Pathfinder." DAI is a rather fun adventure but by the time I finished it, I was utterly spent with zero interest in replaying nor in a future title. I suspect MEA will bring the same feelings.


If you're still struggling with Gwent, I'd need to see your deck to give more specific suggestions. 50% of Gwent is having a good deck; the other 50% is knowing what to play when.

Remember, if you see an option to play Gwent with a merchant that isn't grayed out, you'll likely get a card from them if you win. That'll help you accumulate good cards so you can take on the tournaments.

Ciri mentioned something AMAZING!
She talked about the place where she teleported. Where people had metal hats and used flying metal ships. So she teleported tot he future. OMG!.... Can we expect in Witcher 4 scenes from the future ? (not in medieval times anymore)
Does Andrzej Sapkowski speak about this in the books ?

For me most of the games i have played DA Inquisition, don't really make a difference . But Witcher 3 is a game definitely worth playing at high settings.
I played with low details for a good 30 minutes maybe even more. it's horrible. I remember between medium and very high there was almost no difference in Mass Effect 3.

Is there a way to manually set the resolution of the game to 4k ? It won't let me ,cuz my monitor is native 1080

No Witcher 4. CDPR said TW3 was the end. Best to go out with a bang, eh?

The next one is Cyberpunk 2077, which is supposed to be a bigger game and world than TW3.

Finished The Room Two. Putting off Dishonored until tomorrow. Looking for something to fill the gap...


I like the alt model for Ciri way better than default. Triss' alt model sucks though.

I opened this thread and I saw Ciri on the fullscreen. Thanks, Cvrk. My save is at 65 level (with New Game+), but still there are things to discover. I'm still playing it on Xbox One.

I know it's too late but I bought Total War: Warhammer at last. And I'm happy. Yes. It's good.

 

[Devils41]

Only game I'm playing these days is World of Warships. Enjoying the slow movement and forward thinking required to properly maneuver the ships so they don't become the other teams target.

My current favorite ship-

Same here pretty much the only game I play now a days. If you like the Konigsberg you'll love the Nuremberg I have the most battles in it. German AP is awesome against anything showing broadside, I'm currently grinding my Yorck to get the Hipper. Also if you haven't played them German BB's are amazing!

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I finally started Dishonored in earnest and I have to say I'm surprised at how much I forgot about the plot. It's like a new game to me.

 

[FireFox]

Playing Titanfall 2 and getting my a$$ kicked from the young online players

 

[RejZoR]

Finished Serious Sam 3 and it's addon and I have a bit of mixed feelings. Graphics were amazing and the more realistic approach to weapons was kinda nice, but the game just didn't feel as organic as Serious Sam TFE and TSE. In a way I kinda had more fun even with Serious Sam 2.

Now started playing Serious Sam Double D XXL. I kinda like the side scrolling approach. It's interesting. I have yet to try the gun stacker.

 

[Cvrk]

Spoiler: Andromeda (kinda) first play...but with swords. Way better!

Started Hearts of Stone. First "boss" was the hardest i've ever fought. That mage was very hard to defeat.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Just keep rushing at him to make him teleport and use Aard to interrupt the teleport. The problem is all the other guys that are with him.

If you elect to fight von Everec, that fight is much harder. Actually, you're probably coming up on that now...

The spiders in Hearts of Stone are really tough, especially the big ones. So damn fast and none of the signs really seem to help...I guess Yrden would. Bah, why didn't I think of that? The Fallen Knights are tough too.


Still playing Dishonored here. I never realized how much optional dialog there was in this game (keep using people until the option goes away).

 

[Recon-UK]

Dirt 3... awesome game, can't really believe they gave away such a gem for free lol.

Them graphics tho :O

 

[Cvrk]

This gem @Recon-UK is a mess. It pains me to say this : with colin mcrae 2005 me & my friends have made an amazing new year's eve back in 2012. it transformed the night, we played it in lan and the fun mixed with sparkly wine left sweet memories.
At last, Codemasters are no masters! They suck .
Wired keyboard Microsoft 600 + Logitech G110 + A4tech many models ++ many other keyboards and gamepads have all the same bug, unfixable till this day: keyfreeze. And without unplugging the keyboard or computer hard reset there is no escape. Codemasters games made with EGO 2.0 and up all have this problem. There games are completely unplayable to so many people who bought there games over the years without any refund whatsoever !

Codemasters

No games for me.. Just trying to get Ubuntu to run off of a Windows host.. Ugh...

That sounds like a good rpg. What lvl are you at ?

I lost again.... where does the npc finds all these cards, by round 2 the npc had like 38 points.... i had 12.

Finished Hearts of Stone, staring at the ocean.

I wanna do as many quests as i can,and get lvl-up before the last quest with Ciri.

Spoiler: True words. The new land does look out of fairy tales, so much color and light

Spoiler: Hard to fight this dude with broken gear. Especially if the npc get in the way, every time you wanna dodge

Funny part is that the game lets you get more amazing gear. Sad part, is that i never got the old one. The farming is crazy! And most of the times you need a huge amount of money.

Should have got the wolf school set & the cat. ... Yeah right. I'm running with stuff i scavenge. The worst part is that getting full set is so hard,and after 2 lvl's witch is 1 hour later, you out grown the set and find on a bandit something better. There is a superb mod to fix this, that on GOTY edition of the game does not work, and it will never... CD Projekt did not like that mod and did something about it. I still have installed a singular mod that gives better loot at every drop. The drop rate becomes so much serious and plentiful,still the game is very hard and getting the sets is either very hard or useless.

Spoiler: He sees a naked full of blood young woman and he gets all romantic like " we don't have to fight"....that's Geralt

You have way too many cards in your deck (22 is the minimum should never exceed 30). By the looks of it, most of them are shitty 1-2 point cards. Get rid of them. You want the highest average card value (also considering cards that buddy up) you can get. Whomever has the highest average value tends to win.

In that hand, Thaler is your best card. Play it immediately.

I completed first run through Dishonored 2 as Corvo. It took about 29 hours, which was as much as 2 runs of the first game. I actually managed low chaos! That was tough, as stealth didn't always work out. At one point in the game I saw my saves were high chaos and made a deliberate attempt to right the ship and get back to low chaos. It's much more tough to do it this way than high chaos.

After a little break I will try it again as Emily, since she has some different abilities.

I definitely recommend!!! Very nearly as good as the first. IMO the first was almost the perfect game, so it's hard to top.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Dishonored, trying to clean the place out, not killing anyone, and not being seen is easily north of 20 hours.

Edit: Actually, I don't really know because saves don't appear to keep track.

Been trying to play Mirror's edge Catalyst, but have had a lot of problems with screen freezes. It always starts out fine, then after 1/2 hour to an hour or so of playing, the freezes start, and get progressively worse.

I tried lowering settings, even though frame rates were playable, still freezes. I tried looking at RAM usage, but it's never above 4GB. It has symptoms of a memory leak, but there's no evidence of it in RAM usage.

I'm running Crimson 16.10.1, and am going to try 16.11.3. If that doesn't fix it, I'll have to assume the game just has problems with older GCN cards. The only other game I've been playing that freezes is Doom 2016, but it doesn't happen nearly as often in that game. I struggle just to get in a good session in MEC.

By the looks of it, most of them are shitty 1-2 point cards. Get rid of them.

These are all the cards i got. Need to win matches to get more cards, never win any...

I completed first run through Dishonored 2 as Corvo.

Dishonored 2 is out ? WOW!

 

[FordGT90Concept]

You have 47 cards. Assuming you have 10 special cards (which I would never recommend having more than four comprised of mostly decoys and commander horns), you have 37 unit cards when the requirement is only 22. Ergo, you need to get rid of 15 of the worst cards in your hand. Start with everything (except Thaler) that is worth less than 4 points. Doing so will substantially increase the likelihood of winning.

Even in the longest hand against Nilfgard (a lot of swapping spies) I never used more than 22 cards so it's critical that every card in your deck is the best you can muster.

I would never start a round with more than 30 cards (unit + special) which, end game, means leaving some of the lower value starred unit cards out (e.g. Triss at 7 points and Philipa worth 10 points). The reason for this is because you really, really want the spy cards to end up in your hand (there's 4 available to the Northern Realms). Each one runs out the clock (forces the other player to move giving you room to plot) and gives you two more cards from your deck (which could be another spy, a medic to revive a spy, or a decoy to turn an AI spy against them). If you can make the AI play all of its cards in the first turn, even if you forfeit the first turn, the second two turns for a victory should be easy. I've often won with 6+ great cards left in my hand.

This but i got bored fast...

And jesus hell christ WTF is that recoil for the Galil? I'm not spraying like an idiot, it's just uncontrollable lol.

Well, I think Alien Isolation is the first game I've ever hit 100% in Got the Nostromo logs, then started a game on Novice and played through without dying (i know, cheap on novice but I wanted the easiest way to not die and get the achievement), then finished up the ID badges. Had to google for a few badges.

Play long enough and you see some funky stuff...

like floating things

An alien horizontally placed through the floor

And a levatating alien
