What are you playing?

[EzioAs]

I'm weird when it comes to games. First off, I can't bring myself to buy a game at full price. I usually wait until it is on sale months later. In the rare occurrence I buy a game when it comes out, I want to give it a real chance, which usually means I break the 2 hour playtime/2 week ownership refund threshold. After that, it falls into Steam library obscurity, collecting dust like 95% of my games... So yes for a normal person this would be logical, but I'm far from normal lol

If that's abnormal, then count me in!

Resistance: Retribution


Pretty solid 3rd person shooter (world war + aliens) with Syphon Filter engine and nice physics

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

as usual, playing both Warframe & Mass Effect: Andromeda since Space Month is still active. Also, I was surprised to see Vetra Nyx's voice actress on Twitter after finding out I was a big fan of her character xD #VetrArt

 

[Drone]

I gave up on Resistance and started Geist on GameCube

After Metroid games Geist is the best looking first person game on NGC. It's probably the first game where you can leave your body and possess objects animals and humans. I'm impressed

Geist was ahead of its time and it's actually a bad thing because if it would've come later on Wii it'd been even better but anyway I've never played anything like this. Absolutely great game. It has everything: puzzles, story, exploration, action.

 

[erixx]

Sniper 4 and Sniper Ghost Warrior 3.

I am missing more "life" on maps. That is, non enemies. I remember The Saboteur that had a splendid city of Paris.

Can't be that difficult to add some ambience to state of the art 2017 games...

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Saints Row, Grand Theft Auto, and Watch Dogs probably have the most life. I've seen some interesting things in The Division too (like a dog killing a low flying bird).

Prey (the old one, not the new that's coming now) allowed something similar.

Played Payday 2 today, did some nice stealthed heists, we stole the big diamond where you have to walk the correct path on the coded floor if you don't want to get gas'ed in the big diamond room and we stole 5 extra artifacts on top of it.

 

[xenocide]

I picked up Elder Scrolls Online last week, haven't had a ton of time to sit down and play it but I got a few hours in the other day and it actually seems pretty cool. Interested to see how it is outside of the starting areas.

 

[GreiverBlade]

finally got 2 of my STEAM wishlist ...

Abzû: diving in a lyrical dimension ... no obvious interface pure daydream dive in the blue ... until one of my 2 drones got chewed by a shark


Bayonetta... my old X360 love ... 1080p 60fps hell yeah!


nervous gameplay, awesome screenplay in cinematic (the cemetery intro .... oohhh how i missed that one!) character with .... character and personality... and the progression map (i actually had the little Bayonetta figurine back in the days ... but i can't figure out where i did put it )

and on mobile ... well i've found a good time killer

 

[Drone]

I abandoned all games and started to play Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+

4 hours and I got to the train station!

 

[EzioAs]

@Drone I only played the normal version but it was still pretty good. Don't really know what the Final Mix version brings to the table. I like the combat style of KH2 but I personally found the story a bit confusing. The first one was a bit easier to understand for me.

I just beat the campaign of Grey Goo. To be honest, a lot of the time when I'm playing this, I keep comparing it to StarCraft II and in that sense , it seems like a poorly made game. However, when I think about it, this game does have the challenging part going on (especially The Aperture Device mission) and it's pace and speed is more akin to the style of older RTS games which some people tend to enjoy more than micromanaging 90% of the time. The story is surprisingly enjoyable as well and they did go with high fidelity FMV (which is really nice) but it's clear that this was a much lower budget game to developed compared to SCII. My main gripe though, is with two things: you can't adjust game speed anywhere and the Goo faction seems to be rather imbalanced compared to the Beta and the Human factions. Still, it's a decent game and RTS fans should probably give it a shot if they're looking for another RTS game.

Starting from now though, I'm gonna be playing Bayonetta. It's time to see how this game compares to my favorite hack and slash: DMC4 (and 3).

actually i played some DMC ... but Dante/Nero will never beat Bayonetta/Cereza in term of fun and pun
keep in mind the mastermind, Hideki Kamiya, behind Bayonetta is the same as DMC, i love both games and soundtrack they have (more Bayonetta than DMC tho "Sworn through sword" from DMC is a ... blast ) Bayonetta is, by essence, a DMC'like.

to be frank ... Bayonetta is awesome in every aspect and albeit being sanctioned as sexist, if we except the lengthy legs ..., nothing is over-exaggerated
as i wrote, i love both games ... but well Bayonetta is the answer to the issue i had: my ex-gf was monopolizing my X360 to play DMC 4 because Dante/Nero were "sooooooo handsome" ahahah (actually she did also play Bayonetta and find her quite well designed in all fairness )

Bayonetta's design a 1 year long development


fun fact the theme song interpret is Helena Noguerra a French artist ... frankly it surprised me when i got the X360 version, and another thing that surprised me ... the STEAM version actually has Japanese voicing while the original was English only (but they did a awesome job on the English version ... i couldn't bring me to let it in Japanese after comparing the two)

oh and the cemetery scene i was talking about ...

and the ending is just as awesome ahahah

@Drone I only played the normal version but it was still pretty good. Don't really know what the Final Mix version brings to the table. I like the combat style of KH2 but I personally found the story a bit confusing. The first one was a bit easier to understand for me.

KH2 Final Mix version has lots of new stuff

redone textures
new difficulty mode (critical like in all other KH games)
new minigame
new weapons, abilities
tons of cutscenes
battle between Sora and Roxas is now playable
Members of Organization XIII (Vexen, Larxene, Marluxia, Lexaeus, and Zexion) can be found and fought in various places.

And zillion other things, the list is pretty long.

KH2 story is complicated. It's impossible to fill all the gaps because many events happened between KH1 and KH2.

Here's the formula to understand the whole thing:

KH1 final mix -> Re:coded -> 358/2 Days -> Re:Chain of Memories -> KH2 final mix

Basically one has to play all these 5 games plus Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance. No wonder Squenix re-re-released KH so many times.

edit: My favorite Kingdom Hearts game is 358/2 Days

 

[EzioAs]

@Drone I can go mental trying to understand this . I don't even know about Re;coded before. I only played KH1, Chain of Memories and KH2. Sadly, I'm probably not gonna be able to play all the KH games. I do have Birth By Sleep in my backlog and I might try that in the not-so-far future.

It's nice to know the Final Mix version offers more difficulty, boss fights and cutscenes. At least people should get their moneys worth.

It's mental indeed. That's why they released final mixes where new scenes explain some stuff.

As for Re:coded ... it's the hardest game ever. Data Roxas (secret boss) is unbeatable. Seriously, I leveled up Sora to the maximum, found the best gear and keyblade and still can't beat him Lol same like Minerva secret battle in Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core. *sigh* Maybe I'll pull myself together and beat them oneday ...

 

[GreiverBlade]

oh @EzioAs unofficial Bayonetta's game name : Angel May Cry ... bahahahahahahah
actually there is a wink from Rodan on that .... "you give me that record and i'll order something so fiendish, Angels will cry at the sight of it."

annnnddd i finally got my USS Alabama, yesterday ... funny someone gifted me 12200 doubloon, which is the exact price of that ship and since it's only buyable in game and not in the WG website store ... well that was welcome ... tho i don't know who did it ... since i have no RL friends that, as far as i know, play WoWs, should i feel guilty ...

 

[EzioAs]

@GreiverBlade I saw one achievement or tracker in the game is called Angel May Cry. First impression of the game though, controls are smooth and the mechanics seems well polished. To be honest though, visual wise, it's not as appealing as I originally expected. But, I still play games from the 90s to this day so, I'm not really turned off by it. I just thought DMC4 looked better even though DMC4 was release earlier. Then again, that game usually consists of much smaller areas with some slight delays in transition between areas.

 

[alucasa]

I don't think anyone has mentioned it, so here I go.

I play TPU pretty much everyday.

 

[GreiverBlade]

actually i am a bit baffled ... the original looked better ... tho it's not a remaster but a port with 1080p60/2160p60 and higher AA possible.

i am searching for a Reshade/SweetFX to alter that over brightened rendering ...

nonetheless it did age well for a 2009 game

oh BTW fun fact Bayonetta/Cereza's height is .... 7'7"/232cm weight 200lbs+/90kg+ quite the top model if you ask me

oouuuhhhh Umbra Reshade ENB 1.0 looks ... neat ... (too bad Yvan Boris i mean... said they will be no further version for Bayonetta) yay for PC masterrace ... (pfffttt )

http://enbseries.enbdev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5468&start=10
yep definitely an upgrade, luckily DOF is toggle on/off (and i had to re hook my numpad ahah since SSAO/SSIL is on numpad 5 and DOF on INS, while framework is on F10)
even the title looks better


testing:

luckily that ENB save screenshot in PNG and BMP 1.9mb for PNG otherwise it's a 8mb BMP

e.d.i.t. : oh well i didn't resist ... i got NieR: Automata (despite the reviews going bipolar because of bugs ...)

still the DL will be a bit long (tho a little less than DOOM or Wolfenstein ahah) so i got myself Haydee, since it was in my recommendations list ... (dunno why but now it's at 15chf while my checkout was 7.50chf, special 50% discount? weird)


funny tho ... it feels like portal but with a Chell that gone thru a madman dream about cybernetic arms and head with a human oversized body ... or "Thicc" as the current trend goes ... as i saw it was quite mod-able for the character appearance i took a look at the workshop

ok let see ... Overwatch character? oohhh my 2 favorites are here ...

tho i would have preferred Mei with her original outfit ...

well technically the main character is an Android or Cyborg ... why not:

aye, Motoko Kusanagi in her "first assault" version and ... EDI from ME2

and then i stumbled upon that ...

YoRHa Type A No.2 and YoRHa No.2 Type B ... unexpected ... tho as they are Androids ... well ... fitting

and then:


what the .... Linkle???? errrr ...

other than that the game is interesting, challenging, no guidance you need technically to figure out things, extremely hard in hardcore mode, dying a lot is ultra common even in softcore mode... tbh i didn't expect that

 

[Ruru]

Just completed FF X-2 first time on PC, 49% and I on new game plus I'll do things much better Felt much easier than on PS2 13yrs ago.

I think Far Cry 3, RE7 and Remember Me are my next projects!

 

[GreiverBlade]

NieR: Automata... i was right ... i like it

Prologue has one of those "OH F*CK!" moment ... two in fact


on the 1st Goliath class appearance ... and then when you finally got it to shut down, at a great expense and sacrifice, 4 more of them get in the melee... interesting way to set up things.

afterward, feels of liberty is not bad, 2B is less powerful than during the prologue but the gameplay is nice and scenery are great.
