Ryse: Son of Rome. PC version of course. This one has some serious eye candy.

Heroes of the Storm and WoW

Been playing H1Z1 with my group of buddies and mixing that in with healthy doses of Elite Dangerous 1.0 and 1.1 (beta).

Do people still play that? I live in Australia so I doubt there'd be many servers. But that game is probably the best online fps experience ive had next to modern warfare 2

Yea, still dozens of servers. I am sure you could find a populated one with a good ping even in Australia.

Not sure what to play now. CoD:Ghosts, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 or MoH:Warfighter. Or should I just dive into Mass Effect series. Hm. It sucks when you buy games faster than you can play them...

Octopuss · Feb 9, 2015

I found a really promising game (currently in open beta or something): http://www.heroesandgenerals.com/community/

Well, if you haven't played the Mass Effect series, you really need to. It's one of the best stories written. Played end to end it would be even better I imagine!

Yeah, my vote goes for The Mass Effect series. I still haven't played ME3 though but I thoroughly enjoyed 1 and 2. It looks like you have the same problem as me. Too many games and not enough free time to play them all and I just keep buying more on the Steam/Origin sales. It's hard to resist when you can pick up 2 year old AAA games for $10.

Fancy playing a Technical Alpha build this week?
This fell into my inbox this morning.

Tolroko is based on the novels Barsoom, grab an Alpha build here:

This is the most painful review I've ever done. Behold floating man. If I turned around, there were half a dozen other floaty men.

Looks a little like Skyrim.

My personal opinion about ME is that it's one of the most overrated anythings in the history of mankind. I've started the first game several times, by a handful of hours I get so tired of everything I just can't keep on. But from what I understand the appeal is in how you can have sex with everything so I guess that makes it ok. Bioware. :shadedshu:

LOL, that was never a draw. Personally, it could have done without that(It's just a minor event) , but it didn't detract from the rest of it so I keep my opinion for it as a "not to be missed" series.

I skipped 1 after the first 30 minutes of that infernal inventory system, loved 2, and got severely bored of 3 after a few hours (and after I discovered the RGB ending). By that time I had already bought all the story-related DLC because everyone was saying how amazing it was. All that said, I still look back at ME2 with fond memories, but I've never replayed it after the first completion.

So...not ready for prime-time, eh? Or perhaps they are using Levitation spells?

rtwjunkie · Feb 9, 2015

So, finished The Wolf Among Us on Saturday. What a great story. The writing, the acting, all were superb!

Finally have moved on to Bioshock Infinite, which sad to say, I had still not played yet. LOL, I'm only about 23 months behind! Anyway, I'm 13 hours in and having a blast.

Took 10 5 years to develop this mess, and it needs another 10

Octopuss · Feb 9, 2015

So what game is it?

Raven's Cry, delayed release date by around ~2 years. Also switched developers hands about 3 years ago. Last developer was Reality Pump (Two Worlds fellows), only they somehow made their game worse than Two Worlds.

THE_EGG · Feb 10, 2015

Starting to get into iRacing after getting a little annoyed with the online experience with Assetto Corsa (despite being an AWESOME game in just about every other way). When I don't feel like setting up my wheel I'll be playing BF4 or if I'm tired, Sims 4.
