What are you playing?

[Ruru]

Heh, Mine is probably still inside a closet @ my parents house where I used to store all my old PC's until the early 2010s because I never seem to have enough space at my place (never sold anything)
P1/P2/P3/P4/Quad6600/AMD643200+/PhenomII965/TnT2M64/Voodoo/9700pro/3850/5850/GTX280
Everything working - or at least I think they still will? I should probably go back and try them out again at some point

9700 Pro is just the most nostalgic card for me... an awesome upgrade from GF4 Ti 4200, NFSU ran perfectly with 9700 Pro..

 

[BlaezaLite]

Street Fighter 5, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Live For Speed and Brawlhalla.

 

[Calmmo]

I went to it from a (failed) GF2Ti, so it was quite the upgrade for me at the time. FarCry/HL2/Doom3, quite the time for big mainstream PC only releases. Cant recall another trio of PC only releases as big as those were within a year since.

 

[Ruru]

Soon I'm the best Finnish F1 driver!

 

[BlaezaLite]

Try Live For Speed if you are a sim racer...

Oh hell no I'm not, I play Dirt Rally 2.0 via VR but with a Xbox One S gamepad... I'd say that I'm a casual driving game dude who wants some realism.

 

[BlaezaLite]

It's silly real, burn out your clutch with too aggressive shifting and so on.

I've been heavy into Skyrim this past week or two.

I've never got into playing Skyrim until Skyrim VR. It's really good. I just recently picked it up and tried it and in VR it's amazing. I only played it to point of going into the first town which was maybe 30 minutes. I stopped only because I'm trying to finish other games before I start it.

 

[Frick]

Was being dull and playing Doom Eternal but at some point the whole damn thing flicked a switch in my grey matter and I thought, 'Why the hell am I playing this crap?'

I played Doom way back and it was ocasionally creepy and often jumpy. It's changed a lot to become where it's at now; a turgid pile of brain-wasting sludge. Never again.

I feel that way about most entertainment to be honest.

I played Dirt Rally once. Grid once. Grid 2 once. I've come to realization that codemasters games aren't for me.

Atm I'm just waiting for Forza to come to Steam so I can buy it.

Idk why but everytime someone mentions finnish names I remember this meme:

Heh, that's a meme from our imageboards, not real Finnish.

hidden gem i forgot on my backup Ext HDD ... turns out they have it on GoG (paid 10$ on Patreon at the time ... and now it's 10.50chf single pay and ~8.39chf in action, well i don't really regret having not renewed my patreon pledge ... i would have paid more than what's asked on STEAM or GoG )



positively love the design and soundtrack, old school fusion? sounds about right

Spoiler: title music

sprite sprite sprite ahaha it's been a long time (use GZDoom engine ) ahaha it even has a Patreon hall of fame in the hub area (searched, i am not in ... i guess it's for the "top patreon" spender, which i obviously was not )


a lot of work from the developer, story, faction, mobs, mechanics all is great.


weapon are interestingly varied

normal mode weapon in order, i forgot some of the original names (medieval/modern mix is hilarious) assault rifle(!), crystal powered boomstick (full auto main, BFG style alternate fire), vial (grenade) launcher, explosive bolt crossbow, shield and axe (throwable and also can pick it up after throwing it) Hellclaw (demonic hand with 3 fire mode 2 when you have ammo and 1 when out of ammo which is nice and all, but that's only a weapon you have in the prologue ) Fragfire gun (basically a Shotgun/flamethrower) fist and ... BOOTS


Bearserk difficulty mode (yes the pun is intended), all melee mod and weapon in addition to the axe/fist/kick you have a fire hammer (throwable as alt fire) that i forgot to screen, a battle axe (360deg spin alt attack) force spear (pull enemies toward you as alt attack)



well since i can't afford DOOM eternal ... i settle for a fun Boomer FPS, which is what DOOM is since the first iteration with the sole exception of DOOM 3 which was more a horror FPS than a true to the core Boomer, DOOM 2016 and Eternal corrected that, if you get a scare while playing DOOM ... you play the wrong one DOOM is meant to be a rushy slaughterfest.

good for a fun time killing ... which is what i need.

it was originally a DOOM II mod that i did play back beginning 2019 before getting the full game in GZDoom.

I've never got into playing Skyrim until Skyrim VR. It's really good. I just recently picked it up and tried it and in VR it's amazing. I only played it to point of going into the first town which was maybe 30 minutes. I stopped only because I'm trying to finish other games before I start it.

Ahhh hahaha... wise move. It'll getcha. When I started playing it, my girlfriend at the time told me it was nice being in a relationship with me and left me by myself. I was still there when she came back from a full day at work. She made fun of me and then sat down to play WoW. She knew what she was doing with that one. Get me addicted to Skyrim so she could squeeze in her own addiction.

And here I am, years later. The concepts behind the game are very simple and repetitive, but the emergent elements keep me playing even through its flaws. I am legit diagnosed with ADHD, so that might be part of it. The immediacy and the dopamine hit. The environments and lore across the ES games are seemingly boundless, too. I still get that feeling of discovering things when I play. It's one of those games where you can think to yourself and just... do stuff.

One thing I will recommend when you sit down to play again... don't be afraid to just explore and check stuff out. The way it's generally balanced, it's not like Zelda where you can go right into a dungeon you can't finish right away. Some are leveled, but most you'll encounter you can get through at any point, if your character is balanced reasonably well. You find all sorts of obscure places, most of them with unique little stories and lore tidbits to uncover. Between that stuff and the meta, you can spend a lot of time in Whiterun hold alone, without ever 'progressing' in the game. Big part of the appeal imo.

Up to you whether you want to progress right into the main story. Personally I think it's better to explore and get up to speed without being tied down to it. There's a point early in where the dragons start becoming regular, and you'll have to move on with the main quest to be able to deal with them well. To me, there are so many other interesting major questlines that you can skip it if you want. But I'm sure fighting dragons is cooler in VR, so there's that

But what am I saying? That's a game that everybody plays differently. Enjoy it! I kind of envy people new to that game, now. There is just so much for someone like you to get into.

I would love to try Skyrim VR, if only it would allow for all of the mods I run. Coronavirus be damned, I'd never leave the house anyway.

 

[Ruru]

8 more days dammit... prepurchased RE3 key already.

edit: feels like a right time to play FFX, new game once again!

Yea, it looks great with just vanilla graphic. I can't wait to mod it as I have with FO4VR. FO4VR is the main reason I didn't start Skyrim VR.. Well and Half-life:Alyx. I'm so close to finishing FO4VR, but it will have to wait until I finish HLA. Oh and Skyrim in VR takes it to a whole new level. I did play it on a monitor before but much later after it had come out and enjoyed it but stopped because of the rumors of it coming to VR. I can say after trying it in VR I'm glad I waited.

What VR headset do you use for HL Alyx? I'm in the market for one, but not sure what to buy. I don't want to spend 1 grand though thats for sure

I playing Alyx with the Rift S and it looks amazing. The controls are really good too. I have a Vive as well, but i haven't tried HLA with it. I can already say that it looks much better in the Rift S just from everything else I've played. I didn't think it would be that much of a difference, but games like Boneworks is night and day when trying to read text. I can honestly say the Rift S is great HMD for $399. Plus, it's very simple to setup. Even if you can only get a Windows Mixed Reality HMD then I would do it. The tracking isn't as good on the WMR but it's good enough from what I've read.

I just checked, it's sold out everywhere. Bummer. I will bookmark it though, thanks for the tip!

 

[Splinterdog]

This was a close run in HL2 MMod, where Gordon has to survive two gunships and loads of Combine.
I died once or twice.

 

[denixius]

Nah man saving is easy to solve. You exit and save the game. It creates an exit Save for you at the cost of... nothing.

Or you just install a mod for it. Its painless. See Nexusmods.

That easy?

Nice!
