What are you playing?

FF IX is one of the best games ever made.

Agreed. It is up there in ranks and still holds up after all these years!

Just started Dishonored 2. Going for stealth/no kills playthrough with Emily. First mission went well, didn't kill anyone and didn't get detected. Can't wait to play some more.
Also been playing some inFamous Second Son and I'm a little over halfway done. Sadly I'm not enjoying it as much as I did the first game.

I used my laptop (Precision M4700) to play some old games, the one I tried so far is Mass Effect and TES: IV Oblivion. I never played Mass Effect before so this is the first time playing it. The Quadro K1000M renders the game just fine with no slowdown. The keys needs to getting used to. I kept pressing R to reload but it was set for throwing grenade.

But Oblivion have tons of problems, one is the dreaded battle music 'pause' or stutter that took a whole second when and after the fight. After reading around the web, I removed the battle music and this annoying bug disappear. But it still stutter once in a while like entering menu. I never finished Oblivion (I think I only enter the second Oblivion gate back then, cant really remember). Framerate also all over the place, sometime it renders at good 60 fps but look the other way it started to tank below 30fps.

Whatever it is I'm going to buy a faster GPU for this laptop. DDR3 really bottlenecking the GPU despite 128-bit memory bus. Perhaps K2100M or M1000M if my budget allows.

I've reinstalled Ruiner, cause of the juicy screenshots. And also Breathedge and Wreckfest cause they added more content.
And I still haven't played Blood & Wine (tw3).

Your missing out. I found it was well done for just being DLC.

It's an expansion pack, not a DLC.

I turned 30 in June and I have never played any of the Half Life games. I watched my brother play the hell out of HL 2, but I never played

I also have a confession to make.
30 years old too and I never played the original Half Life and my first HL game was HL 2 when I was in my early high school years 'first game I ever pre ordered'.

There are other old well known titles that I completely missed out on,some would be borderline heresy by 'gamer' standard.

I picked up Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice for about $1.50 on Steam, more out of curiosity that liking scary games.
It's a looker and starts out a bit like Tomb Raider, which I was quite happy with until it started to get a bit creepy. The voices in her head don't bother me, but all the other stuff, which I expect gets worse.

Such a good game,I know its not for everyone's taste but for me it was my GOTY in the year when it was relased.

I know. I've seen the screenshots. But my 1st play-through had the bad ending, so I'm starting fresh. Maybe I'll wait with the main quest story and just do B&W when I reach lvl 30.

 

[dirtyferret]

Dishonored may be the perfection of a single player game, IMO.

You get Doc from Deadwood helping you out with gear and Susan Surandon talking crazy to birds, what's not to like?

I thought it was pretty mediocre.

 

[Splinterdog]

HL2 Mmod is well worth a go.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

for a single player and co-op only game, MW5 is keeping me pretty occupied

 

[SN2716057]

Big Drunk Satanic Massacre

Spoiler: 666 more

Wreckfest, I didn't win but I also didn't crash.

 

[E-curbi]

Surrender, are they kidding? I'm only a scientist who wipes his mouth with a tissue and never even been to a gun range, how do I work this machine gun? Aw God I'm doomed.

trying out Mutant Road to Eden.Never been a strategy fan but I'm liking it.

Around lvl 20-something it scales up a bit too hard.

I'm playing on normal and it already takes luck and a bit of planning.we'll see.

 

[Atomic77]

With the time off of work do to the holidays I have been playing a lot of my one and only game Pokemon Sword on my new Nintendo Switch Lite.

 

[cucker tarlson]

I'm levelling up fast in Road to Eden
Wish I could get some more powerful silent option as for now I'm left between doing little damage in a stealthy way or doing a lot with a bang.Surprisingly the loud option works better.For picking enemies one by one stealthy weapons work fine,but once you're dealing with a group of 3-4 you wish you never took those puny crossbows and slienced guns with you.
Well,you can change the equipment on the fly,so there's that option to switch from silent to combat mode at any time.

Gotta say the game looks gorgeous too,Unreal Engine can produce turds as well as wonders.

I usually have my entire team of 3 use their silent option on the most dangerous enemy that can be seen and hope for the best, switching to loud weapons after.

Also, if you have any really fast runners, you can send them ahead to provoke the enemies and then retreat back to a defensive position that channels them. Then you can fight usually no more than two at a time. Molotov’s work very well in those areas too!

as long as you're doing them in the right order and take good positions you can easily go all out.it's better to bust them with throwables before they spread.

Since I couldn't locate the original cd anymore I therefor bought it on Steam. And it brings back fond memories...of being stuck.
I'm talking about Full Throttle, one of the many games I have (somewhere) of LucasArts.

And taking a unguided tour on the Orville. Alas nobody seem to be around..slackers.

 

[Splinterdog]

I haven't done a full playthrough of Tomb Raider (2013) since my FX8320/Radeon 7950. It really holds up well and is stunning looking most of the time, with some really good combat.
I'm not at all keen on the QTEs and keyboard mashing, but other than that Lara's doing her thing and dying in some gruesome ways, like sharp poles through her neck. (they've toned that down somewhat now)
Well worth a revisit if you haven't played it for a while, complete with obligatory TR skulls everywhere.
