What are you playing?

[rtwjunkie]

Just finished Exodus. Absolutely brilliant and a must not miss.

That said, got the good ending but...still a little miffed.

I feel it is destined to end up a classic some day, there was just so much attention to detail they got right, and by that I mean all the little things and social things in life, that bring it alive.

However, Artyom not speaking has such a jarring effect, and I would have liked one more area to adventure in. Still, those are minor quibbles in a brilliant game!

Edited for grammar

Agreed, 4A did a great job making me feel like I knew these people. When I would stop playing the Witcher for the night, I felt like I could call up Triss, Zoltan, or Dandelion and see if they wanted to go out for a drink. I felt there. 4A did that with the Order. I felt connected. I felt a part of them.

Which is why when Colonel Miller and Vesemir didn't make it, I was upset. We were so close to seeing a totally happy ending. I think Miller deserved to see the final outcome or a grand child. He overcame his persona, only a little too late. But he death gave birth to Kiril.

However, Artyom not speaking has such a jarring effect, and I would have liked one more area to adventure in. Still, those are minor quibbles in a brilliant game!

It bothered me at first. But I was able to just fill in the blanks in my head. Had they not done as good of a job with the story, it would have been a bigger problem. I still would have liked them to have Artyom reply even if I couldn't control the dialog.

AC:Odyssey will be my fallback game right now but I definitely on the hunt for another game like Exodus or Witcher. RDR2 would be a good fit but the bastards over at Rockstar want to double dip.

I really need excellent story telling to be able to maintain interest. If the story is lacking then game play must not be repetitive or just flat out extremely fun. Maybe when I did the new pc I'll setup my wheel and pedals in the other room for a dedicated race system.

THE WITCHER 3 - BLOOD and WINE

i got to the point of no return in the story. so im trying to do the most sec. quests and hidden treasures. Exploring the whole map and getting all the witcher armors to
Grandmaster level.
But i have to add one point here for those that love The witcher series and its this what im talking about....




i was debating if buying the book or not. I was mad about the writer for going after CD Project red for more coin.
But the interest for The witcher series made me look the other way and forget about that, i think i did it for feeding my
love on the Witcher series and everything that comes with it.
right now im at page 175 and wow there are so many elements that fit so good in the game story and fill all those holes
not so deep explained. i expect to enjoy every piece of this game cuz the book is seasoning every part of the story.
Damn there are 8 books. i wish they bring another Witcher game after i finish reading all the books.

CD PROJECT RED you made a perfection from this book. theres no part i read that i dont see everyones projected in my mind as in the game.

My understanding is 2021ish there will be a Witcher game but no Geralt. My guess is Ciri.

Thinking I may start TW3 again. I dunno, Maybe Exodus again...there is a hole now.

Anybody got some good story based games from 2015 or newer with settings similar to The Witcher or Metro series?

Awesome game. Needs dim lit room and loneliness for maximum effect. Also: controller instead of mouse/KB. When I played this with mouse/KB it was super easy. Did highest difficulty and still walked right through. Also... part 1 still has something the sequels don't have. Still not sure what, but its the only truly scary one. @moproblems99 this is another story driven game btw. Also, setting/mood wise, maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_War_of_Mine - its 'different' though, but pretty impressive.

I had looked at this previously may need to give it a go.

At 268 hours I completed Legacy of the First Blade DLC in AC Odyssey. It's a shame it is DLC, because the writing and narrative were top notch, and it is only with this that we find out about how Kassandra/Alexos (whichever you decide to play) continue into what becomes the Assassin's line. For that alone, it is well worth it, although for its significance, it should be in the main game. You do find out in the main game how she/he is part of it all, but this DLC really hits it home! Next up will be the Atlantis DLC, but it isn't all released yet, so maybe not.

Maybe I will start Close to the Sun, on EGS.

And then it morphs ahead to Bayek in Origins

Hope you're not intending to leave it to run over 60fps as the game can glitch out after exceeding x fps.

thanks!will try v-sync on.

Just stared in on Doom (2016). Despite the fact my system not does not meet the minimum hardware requirements, game play is actually very smooth, almost flawless. 60-80 FPS. In terms of the game itself, I wish it was focused more (or dedicated to) on the first person shooter aspect (along with more ammo and better selection of guns upfront) - instead you sometimes tend to get stuck doing random chores in some seriously vast maps. All I want to do is to kill more demons instead of running around crossing off a basic checklist. So far I would rate gameplay at 7.4 out of 10...

TRAOD meets SOTTR

 

[rtwjunkie]

I'm playing Close To The Sun. This is an exploration-based adventure with alternate history and creepiness. You are on the largest ship ever made, built by the successful and reclusive Tesla, who won out over Edison, and who has staffed his ship with all the scientific minds worth having in the world, except Edison and his spies. You play as Rose, recruited to visit the ship by your sister Ada, who works in the communications section to investigate (for the paper you work for) the strange goings on aboard ship.

You arrive and find no one, the ship in disarray (Not unlike the spooky suitcase scene in the beginning of Dead Island). Where is everyone? It's creepy like Soma, just this sense you are being stalked by someone. You have no weapons. You'll need to figure out how to get doors and machinery and elevators working with a little puzzle work. You also do some memory/scene access like in Tacoma. You are limited in what you can interact with in the world, which is a bit of a minus. Very nicely rendered turn-of the-last-century steampunk art deco vibe though.

Overall, it may seem like a Bioshock-esque type premise, which it kind of is, but there is enough difference here so far that I feel it sets its own mark and holds its own.

Launch Trailer here:

I looked at the pics and i knew it was Bioshock...i was shocked that it's not.

Definitely, but it has most definitely got its own identity. I’m really enjoying it, despite having no weapons and my staying alive when discovered depends on running and choosing correct paths. I think a better comparison at this point might be more leaning to Dead Space.

 

[metalfiber]

I hope this one turns out to be good, else i continue with my summer theme of Assassin's Creed. A Plague Tale: Innocence comes out May 14th.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Played a little Payday 2 to show an Xbox One gamer why controllers suck in shooters (Reservoir Dogs Day 2 Mayhem, 170 kills, 160 headshots, 38% accuracy with full auto Union 5.56 and Five-Seven).

Otherwise playing Assassin's Creed: Origins still and trying to refrain from buying any more games for a while because my backlog is too long.


There are way too many pictures in this thread that aren't [spoiler][/spoiler]. Better yet, put them in the thread where they belong.


Edit: Holy crap, just finished Camp Qetesh and Resheph on Nightmare difficulty and that was brutal. Jebel Barkal (Predator Bow) was my #1 damage dealer, Neith (Light Bow) was my agro-getter, Storm Blades (Daggers) were my adrenaline regen, and Vox Populi (Regular Sword) was my overcharge damage dealer. Basically I tried to keep my distance with Storm Blades equipped pelting it with whatever arrows I had (was perpetually out of both) which charged adrenaline. When adrenaline was full, I switched to the Vox Populi, and got close to one of them and used the overcharge against it then I'd back off as fast as I could pelting the elephant further away with arrows so the closer one wouldn't try to tusk me. Basically rince and repeat but being careful not to kill either one until both had very low health. I killed Qetesh then unloaded all of my predator arrows into Resheph killing it too. Game over, victory.

Once I realized how effective unguided predator arrows were, it was pretty easy.
