You'd love Odyssey then. Its a *really* big world. The story is kinda bland but the world is just so rich and overly detailed. I might DL it again someday.


Been playing playing the new Gears game recently and I'm loving it so far. My new setup helps a ton as well. Can't wait to try out more games with it. My Current games are MH:World, R6:Siege, Forza Horizon 4, Apex Legends, and Gears 5. The RTX 2060 is a hell of an upgrade from my trusty RX 480 D:
i spent 200+ hrs in MHW then i stopped, waiting for the release of Iceborne for pc.
Its GoW 5 like 4...IMO gow 4 fell short from 1 and 2 story and the gameplay was straight forward and boring.

better kill them before they can raise the alarm
ghost arrows work best for that,they go through walls
Origins dont have ghost arrows.... will be like using a .50 cal lol




STAY AWAY FROM ME GOLDEN BEAST REDCROWN !!!

I play without ghost arrows in Odyssey. More of a challenge. First stop always is a trip to the bonfire alarm in both games to boobytrap it.:D

@jormungand man, that looks so good. your right it's probably the resolution.
on my wish list i got Borderlands 3, Nioh, and Star Wars Fallen Order (due to release this year November).

Finished Gears 5, there is a twist in the story that will have consequences depending what decision you made for Gears 6.
Also played Shaolin vs Wutang.
132914


The sound in this game is very good! Really an awesome one of the kind game for the martial arts movies back in the days, they did an amazing job with this one.

Also "playing" Saltybets. You can "gamble" fake money on mugen fights that people play on Twitch. It's super intense and fun. The characters start at tire B i think and they go up to X. Crazy part is that you got the most insane characters like Wolverine vs Turkey.
Yes a huge turkey that jumps up and down and of course wolverine
I watch sometimes these mugen fights at work and bet on them. Again, fake money.

Right started playing F1 2019. The G29 wheel is awesome, but definitely toned down the feedback. Not as easy as first thought but loving it. Makes a nice change from the likes of call of duty and ghost recon.
Really glad I got it.

The best personal challenges In had were to see how many forts or fortresses I could stealthily eliminate the garrison without raising an alarm. The hardest were the huge fortresses, because guards change positions to distant positions, and I never could find a discernible pattern.

Always going through the trouble of taking a body up to the parapets and dumping over the side solved the body-finding problem.
Wait! You have to clear the whole garrison? I thought you only killed the commander and looted their treasure.

Aw! I usually keep some fortresses/enemy checkpoints intact. I learned from Far Cry 3 that clearing everything makes the game boring. Haven't played any Far Cry since but since this is Ubisoft I thought same things apply. The random fights on the streets with enemy patrols is very exciting imo. Otoh I don't have much time anymore to do complete enemy stealth massacre anymore. I have to spare a little time to play Insurgency Sandstorm to feed my adrenaline junky brain.

Also started playing Homefront The Revolution. There's this constant phone beeping bug that's exhausting and I haven't progressed much in the story but I can already tell you I fucking wanna punch Dana Moore of the resistance and the two fucling dumwit white trash guards that caught and sucker punched/kicked me when I was trying to catch up with their cell.

And the dumb bitch didn't even apologise for trying to cut off my nipples. I can understand the dumb pieces of shit guards as "oh-look-at-me-I-got-gun-and-I'm-invincible" syndrome but the bitch tried to start torturing me before even asking questions. Fuck the resistance if it's filled with sadists and dumb pieces of shit like them.

The forts partially populate again, and besides, there is so much more to go do elsewhere that it never gets boring for me.

Good game!! I enjoyed it. Don’t worry, that is not representative of the resistance. Understandably though, they are going to be wary at first. Things actually get much better for your relationship and position with them.

Play'n Borderlands 3, It's a good shooter but the character movement seems slower than Rage 2's. That's a good thing for me at least. I'm not using my death grip that was hurting my hands in Rage 2. Of coarse the production value is miles ahead of Rage 2 in the humor and graphics. I picked Moze the soldier/gunner for the Mech which you can jump in for an extra bit of fire power and a bit more protection to boot. This game has to be a gun protesters nightmare. There're so many different type guns it hard to keep them them straight. I just find a couple that fits my style and stick with it them till the same kind come around with better specs...i love suicidal splash damage. GearBox went all out with the size of Borderlands 3. It's by far the biggest of them all with many different planets and you'll need the several modes of transportations provided on those planets. Driving mechanics are excellent and remind me of Twisted Metal or other car battle games.

I'm at 340 hrs in MHW now and tbh its the only RPG game i'm playing haha. Been helping all my friends farm for iceborne too. Kinda sucks that at the end Capcom couldn't release simultaneously, but better late than ever I guess

I haven't played Soldat for a long time until today and forgot how engaging it is.
Free to download and playing offline against bots is a blast.

Still playing Spyro Reignited Trilogy, this time Spyro3 from these. These just feel even better than what these were on PS1 when I played as a kid, never owned any of these but loaned from my cousin :)

Nothing pisses me off more in these than when you miss a single gem on a stage and you spend forever finding it.

Hmmm. Played it some more. I am loving the no-holding-hands approach of the game so far. It doesn't say go here, climb here to reach there. I'm roaming around the building avoiding patrolling guards figuring out how to reach the 2nd floor. But when I did, man it feels good. It also means I fried myself the first te trying to hack terminals and accidentally threw a nade instead of GTK during training INSIDE the safe house. A health kit wasted :sad:

The enemies are dumb as ox in the first red zone. They were plentiful enough in the yellow zone to be scary. But now that I liberated the zone, I kinda feel bad. I wanted to bump up the difficulty to highest (it's now in middle) but seems like you can't change mid-game. Have to start all over again. Boo!

Thankfully I don't have to deal with resistance leaders outside the phone that much.

The gunshot and explosions lack bass or boom imo. Maybe cause I'm using earbud. But have no problem in Insurgency Sandstorm which imo has the best weapon sounds in the market.

Traversing via bike is awful. I avoid it if I can

I may give this Orwell a shot. I went to check it out after reading yakk's post...and I already own it. Didn't remember purchasing it...but whatever...:).

The reviews seem positive...downloading now.

In closing, thought I'd mention it's on sale. $2.49 for the base game.

Best,

Im am so deep in co-op it's silly.
I am torn.

Nioh, is a complete sht game if played alone on a PC using a keyboard and mouse.
Same exact experience but with a friend that knows how to play soul games, makes it for one insanly good coop...no joke probably the best coop experience i have ever had.

Will never what so ever recommend Nioh as a single player experience. Stay away!
However in co-op it is a complete different experience and worth every cent (still an expensive game after years from it's initial launch)
_______

Just picked up Code Vein, I craved and agave. Problem is none of my friends did the same... So far I will be playing this in single player. Will test co-op and let you guys know.

Nioh, Forza 4, Code Vein, Black Ops zombies (@lmille16 the numbers, Maison) should keep me busy until December...when Star Wars Fallen Order comes out.

How many of you think Fallen Order will be a complete disaster?

Irony of the decade. Any shit game is fun with friends. I always hear people forced to buy shit games due to peer pressure only to lament the purchase later. Anthem, Fallout 76, Battlefield V are always the main culprits.

TW Three Kingdoms here. Tried a few factions. Its fun, but the whole romance / legendary hero thing doesn't work for me. It feels inflated and what you get on the battlefield are extremely long drawn out duels that really go nowhere. It barely ever happens that a lost duel changes the tide of battle. If you're out of units, you're a goner anyway. The interesting bit here, is that some hero classes can give your entire retinue guerrilla tactics so you do vanguard deployment with entire armies. Other than that. Meh.

The better part of Three Kingdoms is the campaign map really. Its an interesting one because China is a one big circle, an arena really. Lots of mountain ranges with small passages, like a well designed Deathmatch map in a shooter. Tons of strategic locations to get ambushing done or block a river or mountain passage, so you can really get a strategic game plan going on the land you want to acquire and make it easy to defend. Compared to Shogun... much better.

So far I think the map is the only thing the game has going for it, above Shogun (2). The unit roster I feel is lacking compared to it; just a list of varying sword units, spear units, the usual cavalry and one trebuchet. Archery is mildly interesting with fire arrows and forests burning down, and that's about it. And... compared to Warhammer... holy crap, such poverty in variety. The game did borrow some of Warhammer's improvements though which is good.

Is it obvious that I want CA to make Shogun 3? :D

Taking a break from Borderlands 3 before I burn myself out,put ~90 hours into the game since the relase '100% Solo'.
Current main char is 'End Game' capable already and I plan on leveling a new char but definitely not now.

So for now I'm playing the Batman Arkham serie since I kinda liked Asylum back in the days and EPIC recently gave them away for free+Origins I had on Steam from a few $ boundle. :)

This will keep me busy for a while until I feel like playing FPS games again,I like to switch genres every now and then to keep myself interested in gaming. 'I do have my fav genres tho'

Borderlands 3 is huge. Just when you've thought there's no more areas to open, another area opens.

I would say ouch but it's the tracer rounds off of my gun....I can run faster than light. :)

So I'm having a pretty routine run with Fallout 4 atm and I stumbled upon some chalk. Just one of a few hundred junk items that breaks down into crafting materials for weapons, armor, explosives, drugs, healing items, structures, yadda yadda. But then I thought it strange that 'chalk' is considered a junk item when chalk itself is already sort of a base substance. It is itself a material that you add to things, much like other materials like copper, rubber, plastic, what have you. Those are not junk items, but actual crafting materials. So why is chalk different? I mean, you can't usually break a stick of chalk down into anything but chalk dust, which is still just 'chalk.'

So I had a look at what 'chalk' breaks down to in the Fallout universe. Apparently, they make sticks of chalk... you know, the kind your teacher uses... from... ASBESTOS. So in every school there was asbestos dust all over everything and hanging in the air, moving through all of the ductwork and draft openings.

Little things like that make you realize that if WW3 hadn't done them in, they were STILL screwed. Fallout's pre-war era is... interesting. I mean, your character him/herself has a butler robot for things like household tasks and helping with the baby that also has dedicated arms for things like a circular saw and a laser canon. And that's considered pretty normal. So there's that.

And then there's the fact that all cars run on miniaturized nuclear reactors that are not only containable, but actually generate enough power to move a car over long stretches in spite of being about the size of a small chair. Also, computers exist and are reasonably sized, along with semi-autonomous robots capable of rather impressively complex problem-solving... all without ever inventing solid-state transistors... it's all vacuum tube tech.

There's so much stuff you gloss over like "Okay... goofy mid-century-modern sci-fi... got it" but when you start putting individual elements under the microscope it's all pretty bizarre and twisted. The cartoonishness of it all almost makes it twice as dark and/or strange.
