What are you playing?

[Space Lynx]

@lynx29 using XB1 controller for racing games atm. Not considering getting wheel + pedal set for now.

I think I will just stick with my XB1 and PS4 controllers for now as well. Don't want to invest to heavily into racing just yet, but I plan to someday.

 

[StrayKAT]

I kick back on a bed to game so much that wheels just wouldn't work. Looking for a good flying game to make use of my joystick though.

@lynx29

The only wheel and pedal i owned till 2017 was a Logitech G29 Driving Force, i was very satisfied with the results

 

[IceScreamer]

Still playing Still Life, good god that lockpicking puzzle drove me insane. And the gingerbread making puzzle, literally the only thing I had to look up, not the puzzle itself but the gingerbread recipe, what percentage of players knew that by heart I wonder.

I'll check it out, I think. I doubt SC will be out anytime soon. Heh.

I had early access on an Xbox version long ago, but it must have come a long way since then.

 

[ne6togadno]

sc early access has sp arena comander where you team up with bots and play agains waves of vanduls (bots as well) in limited space. the arena is buble with hard walls that you can crush at. still you will be able to get impresion on how joystick controls feal like even thou you'd be limited to just space combat.
i am not sure if free sc account provide access to pts or you need to purchase ship in order to have it. in pts you have a bit more things to do but i havent tried it yet

Been playing Destiny 2 for a month now. Got the base game for free, bought the expansions.
Having a lot of fun with it so far. As a matter of fact this is the most fun I've had with a game in a looong time.

What you guys think of Just Cause trilogy? I'm playing the third one, really over the top, fun, but buggy.

I've just finished JC3, with all the DLCs and found it a complete blast. What I liked was the total freedom to move around how you like through air land and sea. In the air mostly with jet fighters and helicopters, with awesome fire-power. And those explosions are some of the best in any game I've ever played. Especially when you cause a chain reaction. Very satisfying.
I got JC2 in a Steam sale, but it's not quite the same after JC3.
And don't forget that Just Cause 4 is released tomorrow and it looks even better.
PS there was a bug where, if you changed the key mapping in the game menu, it wouldn't write the changes to the config file and often reset everything to default values, so you had to edit that file outside the game, making sure you keep a copy somewhere else too. I don't think they ever patched that, so I'm hoping that bug won't reappear.

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

@ShurikN noice~ for me I got the game for free too~ Bought the expansion pack minus the season pass & now settling at 521 power level. Haven't clan up yet, still finding one. Anyways, here's a snapshot update on my progress.

Another round of Destiny 2 "beauty" screenshots xDD (nothing to do anyways...)

 

[Splinterdog]

Just Cause 4 now has Fulton style ballons, a la MGSV.


Edit
It appears that Just Cause 4 has very limited key mapping options and some people are actually installing third party key mapping software to get around the issue.
It's probably a console port, but that's no excuse for limiting key mapping and some people are asking for refunds because of this.
I'm holding off until this gets patched.

I thought about getting the season pass but it doesn't really give you anything substantial for $35. It's worth $15 max.

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

@ShurikN the most the season pass gives you is newer missions, quests & new weapons. Not really worth much unless you & your clan members have it while being super-active at the same time.

RD2. Thinking what to play next

Scum?

Getting back into Grim Dawn and the new expansion. Playing with @flmatter. If anyone has a character and wants to play hit us up.

I assume not Forgotten Gods? Unless you've gotten super lucky and in a beta

Nope I picked up the Ashes of Malmouth on steam for like $8. Hadn't played it yet but have several characters on Ultimate. Grim Dawn is so good. I think it is better than Diablo 3 in many aspects, graphics unfortunately aren't...but character development and customization are so much better. What an excellent expansion..this is what expansions used to be like. Lords of Destruction comes to mind..except this one gives 2 new classes, 2 new big areas and many new items. Feels worthy.

Look interesting. I will have a look on it

Oh man gonna have to check that out... I loved grim dawn. Did not like D3 at all... very boring.

 

[ArbitraryAffection]

Story wise don't expect too much, its clearly an afterthought. Lore is added as they go.

I honestly think Warframe's story is amazing. The new Lore they are adding is highly original and pretty awesome.

I agree, but it IS an afterthought. They literally make it up as they go. The result is nice, but also completely not integrated in the game or gameplay. Apart from the 'Operator', I suppose. Nobody plays this game for the fantastic story, right?

Ashes of Malmouth is definitely a no-brainer, even if you pay full price ($17.99).

I've dived back into Far Cry 5 and Ghost Recon Wildlands and am enjoying both of them much more now, after a break to pay Forza Horizon 4, which has disappointed me.
Once properly into Far Cry 5, it's a blast and some of the voice-overs are hilarious and I'm sure the devs must have watched Deliverance once or twice. Very satisfying weapons, a huge map, some relaxing fishing and plenty of vehicles to ride around in. It looks gorgeous too and my PC has no problems with everything maxed out.


Ghost Recon is a tougher proposition and equally enjoyable, but somewhat more satisfying knowing that you're taking down drug cartels, as opposed to religious fanatics. The vistas are stunning, you die a lot because the missions are very challenging, yet incredibly satisfying. I like the buddy system, especially when they revive you and you say "What took you so long?"


For a more ethereal experience, I recently finished ADR1FT, which has to be one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, drifting around in space to the sounds of Debussey and a limited oxygen supply. A very underrated piece of art and a labour of love really.

Both sound pretty great

I should get back into Wildlands, maybe when it gets cheap enough to buy some copies for friends. I really enjoyed the beta and bought it new off of that and put probably 5 hours into it. Really hoping FC5 goes deeply discounted for winter sale.

I've successfully avoided playing (a game of) CS:GO for the better part of a month now. Do not miss it yet, the eSports side has been enough to tide me over this time. Still doing Rocket League though. Finally turned on RDR2 again last night...but I cannot get into it like others are. I love Rockstar and open world games, but playing on a console just doesn't feel right anymore. I had to move my couch closer to my TV to be able to make out details/aim too...so either I'm getting old or just too accustomed to sitting a foot away from a monitor now.
