What are you playing?

Playing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on 3DS now.
 
Starting tonight and this weekend, I will be playing Total War: Attila. Most of the reviews by users indicate this is to Rome II as Napolean was to Empire, meaning most bugs from Rome II fixed, and most mechanics implemented in Rome II patches were also incorporated, so it appears to be relatively problem free. A good launch for Creative Assembly!

I keep hearing that is pretty good!
For the price, it gave me more gameplay hours than some of the AAA commercial titles out there. If you like Legos and smashing your creations against each other, squishing sheeps, creating complicated contraptions of death, then this is the game for you.

I suggest not looking at youtube for the designs, and try and solve / invent everything yourself as discovery is all part of the fun :)

So far all my dungeoneers are miserable/dead sods.
 
I've almost up to 40 hours on total War: Attila, playing a "pre-Viking" campaign as the Geats. I have to say, this is THE smoothest playing and most trouble-free Total War release I can remember. I dub this a must-have!
 
Planet Explorers, Don't Starve Together, Heroes and Generals are all on rotation right now.

H&G is pay to win (pay to get better weapons/vehicles which means way easier kills) - I paid $20 for the 90 day 'subscription' that gives you double XP each game - it's a free game, I don't have a problem spending $20, though I hate the F2P model all together. As coworkers we've only gotten to about day 21 in DST - just into winter and then we die. Kinda pitiful! But it's very fun and we do a lot of experimenting.
 
Weekends are dangerous. To much free time from work and this happens:








Don't take Iron Bull in your party. He has the least interesting party banter.
Dorian is smart and witty, Varric is sarcastically funny, Blackwall is serious and not much entertaining but he has STR 25 and with a two handed weapon you need him to actually kill something. Cole the ghost is morbid but does excellent party banter with Varric or Cassandra
Cassandra is always a must,she has it all.The only one with CON 19 with a shield she is always the last one standing(in my case)
Cassandra with Iron Bull make the most awkward party banter.

I had a torch in my hand ,went trough a curtain of water and it put out. My character commented on that ,wile that happened. The game is so alive! A must play,i think for people that love a high quality gaming.

I have that rare feeling when playing Dragon Age Inquisition that this is something worth enjoying for non gaming people. Somebody that never played a video game could pick this up for the very first time and keep playing it till the end. Very very few video games can do that to somebody. Definitely this is what it's all about

Whenever a person frome the "outside" looks at somebody else playing let's say Counter Strike, will immediately judge that person and say "why will i ever waste my time doing this".
Amazing video games have the power to attract even the uninterested. Bizarre about it is, most of these video games are not on the top list of gamers.

Dragon Age Origins is one of the best masterpiece that PC-gaming has to offer. Still a non-gamer would not like this title. Inquisition, on the other hand it attracts you from every angle.
I encouraged my non-gaming friend to give it a go. He started the story from the beginning,and immediately was captivated. He wanted more cutscenes,more dialog, he needed to know what happens after. Lost track of time for 2 hours,and he lost his buss home. I was just standing next to him watching him play. I remember him trying out Skyrim at my place back in 2013.He did not like it. And i told him "remember you did not like Skyrim so similar to this" he said "it wasn't like this..." He couldn't explain why.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Might as well edit this then start another.




2 hours and about 40 minutes of gameplay at the end of western approach (final side quests) and i am using this party build. So far one of the worst builds i have encountered .
NO party banter what so ever! They are silent all the time. Ironbull said two dialog lines ,and just now entered a cave and Dorian exclaimed "this should be interesting". That's it.
More to it, this is one of the weakest party builds. I encounter difficulties when attacked by 5 enemies or more. I am about to try a dragon to see what happens.
---------------------------------------------------
Finished my dragon slayer staff

-------------------------------------------------
I've did the fade quest.


At the end when fighting that boss there is a HUGE bug. You must kill the little mobs before taking down the boss! If not you will never get the cutscenes. I've searched the internet about 10 minutes to find a solution.

Apparently Corypheus is after one of these mirrors.
--------------------------------
Another one is down! And how spectacular are the fights!


You get a real sense of danger from fighting these beautiful dragons. Not even close to Skyrim. In Skyrim the dragons are big moobs,that's it. These are so alive and every one of them has different tactics. There magnificent boss fights.
Do not kill dragons when you have the best gear. You will regret it,cuz there to easy.
I managed to get this one after failing with all other party members. I finally got Cassandra to tank and Vivienne to use only here Knight Enchanter skills. That did the trick.

Did not chose to go with KE as my own class cuz it's to boring spamming the same two skills all the time. I got Rift Mage instead.

You should get far cry 4

I'm a cheap gamer. I buy games once they hit around the $10 (I usually don't spend over $15 on a game) mark. Yes this means I miss out playing games for 12 months or more, after they're released. I'll pick up Far Cry 4 sometime in the next year or so, unless my younger brother buys it for me on Steam.
 
Five Nights at Freddy's.... that god dammed fox runs!!! I suppose that there are just a handful of patterns so I guess I'll eventually get to the 5th night.
 
Elite dangerous, turbo dismount, some KSP.
Also set up a minecraft server for me and my friends but I think I broke it. :D

I feel for you! I also don't have money. But sometimes its like 2 years. Some games don't really drop price. Diablo did not , FarCry will not,Black Ops did not...they never reach 10-20$. Mass Effect 2 is 20 euro that is 30$ and it has been 5 years (2010) since the game was released . It's stupid

well im a cheap gamer too,
sometimes games came with out a decent optimizations, its better to wait a while...sometimes...
 
Started playing watch dogs, got it for cheapo from g2a. Never thought I would have so much fun in this game, the multiplayer is awesome! @Cvrk diablo was on sale a few times, I got it with discount (if you know where to look), also far cry 3 has been on sales for a year and some change so I'm pretty sure far cry 4 is on the same path in 6 months or so. Black ops 2 was also on sale on steam a few times but it is one of those titles that just won't go down more.
 
About to begin for next week's review
