Playing Witcher 3. Its awesome.

Reminds on Assassins Creed a little, but according to gameplay I watched it's much more dificult to play than Creed.

FordGT90Concept · Jul 14, 2015

Risen 3 took 60 hours to beat; 63 hours to get the missing achievements.

I'll probably try to finish Cook, Serve, Delicious next.

I don't know you can say "harder", but it does take alot more involvement as its a pretty in-depth RPG. The combat is similar, but not all that hard (there is a learning curve though, compared to AC).

*As to what I'm playing, I just finished XCOM: The Bureau Declassified. It took 18 hours.

I'm now finally playing Remember Me, which I got 2 years ago. Oh well, that's what happens when youve got lots of gsmes and only a few of them occupy enough time to hit near or over 1,000 hours!

Been playing though JC once again as it was 4-5 years since the last time and having much more capable card to max out it with VSR.

Had to edit these (3.5+MB files ) so they not going show any were near as good as they should.

And some bad A3 scripting were the heli would not stop spawning although always have fun trying to learn it but it pisses me off some times lol.

. I really enjoy just wandering around the wasteland discovering new places.

No money + bad {C,so i am back at Steam free to play games. Installed during these 5 days a few of them. here we have:
Heroes and Generals

It is still in beta. But i think it's polished enough.
There is not much to do. 2 teams starting at opposite positions capturing points in the middle of the map. It's very fast paced .
I only played it for 1 hour. In witch time my team (the blue) got killed badly. It was as if we were all playing against elite professional gamers. I'm talking about 1 guy from them taking out with head shots 4 of us. Through the entire hour we never made a point. Couldn't keep a check point for more then 1 minute.
Very strange,since i believe my blue team was always getting new players (cuz the old ones were frustrated -dropping out all the time),yet the red team was always so strong.
I did not have much fun,but i got to ride a bicycle.

Warframe

Finished the 2 hours tutorial. From now on you only get team co-op and pvp. So far i had the story line with help from matching game (drop in player help).
So far a liked this game a lot. Problem ? Something tells me you need to spend a lot of euros to keep playing it. Most of the gear you can only buy with real money. I mean 99% of the gear,the rest it's low end and very expensive in game money. But the idea behind the game is fantastic.

I tried S.K.I.L. Special Forces 2 a go. Also played it for 2 hours. It';s like counter strike. And all of the players are very very good. I managed to kill 2 people. 1 witch was already wounded. Reason why 2 hours,i don't know. I could't stop playing. Respawn after respawn ,after respawn ....i had to keep going.

You can obtain 100% of the gear in game by farming, even helmet skins I think. The main issue with the game is inventory slots. You can craft everything in the game, but you can't collect it all when its finished crafting because you have limited equipment slots. Equipment slots costs ~12 plat each. You start off with about 10 slots, and the game has 100+ weapons and frames. In other words, you either delete weapons once you've hit lvl 30 with them (only keep ones you intend to Forma in future), or spend plat.

It takes ages to farm gear when you start out. After ~200+ hours of game time, I can farm any item I want given some patience, and end up with that item, and a bunch of other blueprints too. Early game is very slow. End game becomes a very fun massacre, or you end up challenging yourself with some of the more intense survival missions

You can get plat by selling mods to people with platinum. Rare mods can be sold for a couple of plat, but you have to farm the mods first. Once a player has traded you plat for your rare mods, you can then buy equipment slots or unlock additional colours. Warframe is one of my all time favourite games, I just don't have the time to play it any more. My big issue with the game is the way it forces you to grind horribly for random crap to sell to people with plat, just so you can own all the weapons you build.

Thank you for that reply. It was useful to me. Down size,what i just quested from what you said, pretty much summons up the game for me + the detailed review i've seen online. So i will not bee playing this anymore,i guess.

A bit of conclusion . What game out there is not focused on farming,and then more farming. Cuz there free,but there not. I don't think you need to play the 200+ hours. That's not fun. You need to support the developers and buy the stuff with real money. Then the game because what it was intended , lots of fun and with a price tag for the people that worked hard to make it.

The last game that i was really into,was Tera Rising. I did the hundreds of hours farming etc without paying a cent...Looking back on it,it was fun and challenging in a way that i never experience a mmo before. I think also it's always smart to pay the 50 euro or whatever you need,to get the grinding out of the way and super enjoy the game as it was intended. If everybody farms ,games just die really fast. But if you can't pay 50 euro for Witcher,you can't for Tera or for Warframe. it's just how poverty works

+1, +1 , +1!!!

I haven't played in months, but 'Coon has it down. Early game is a bit slow, as you're limited, but if you can get into a good clan, willing to make repeated runs for hard to access gear (ahhh.... just thinking of my RPrime makes me want to boot it back up.......)

sorry, a little distracted in memory lane, there. Anyway, find a good clan, and enjoy the ride

FordGT90Concept · Jul 16, 2015

I'm feeling too lazy for Cook, Serve, Delicious so I've been playing Cities: Skylines. There's some things SimCity does better and some things Cities: Skylines does better. SimCity is pretty well dead so one can only hope Cities: Skylines will fix/add the features that made SimCity great (e.g. wind effect on pollution and using a modifier key to make road placement snap to cardinal directions).

Update on Free games Steam Version 2.0 :laugh:

Found something that i like a lot...well until they kill my castel,and then i wont like it anymore.

Sure you can spend a fortune on buying everything in item mall shop with real money and be the king of the game.Literally just unstable. I calculated and with 400$ it's like having god mode activated...talk about pay to win games.

But i really like this game. I don't see any op players around me. So far i am very enjoying this. It has a very easy learning curve. I just love the graphics. There is something so attractive to me about games that look like this. I looks very similar to Torchlight. It is mindless, witch is good. You can play the entire game with only your mouse,if you have a 6 buttons + on it.
So far i am leader of the land :toast:

Winterspell,that's me.

Tho i have a felling that by tomorrow morning my castel will be in ruins.

FordGT90Concept · Jul 16, 2015

I haven't played The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot in a long time. It got stale. I started it up for giggles and they changed so much...I don't even...

You didn't need materials to craft stuff before, my castle is devoid of the defenders it had, and well, I see no reason to keep playing it.

Lichdom - Battlemage (2014)

a slow, repetitive, linear spell slinging action with cumbersome, unintuitive, complicated and almost unfathomable spell crafting (with single column inventories for spell components of ever changing level that keep growing in number over time and become inconveniently long to scroll up and down and make it difficult to remember the component names you want to compare or combine, especially when you need to leave the crafting menu for a short moment to prepare a slightly better spell component in the synthesis menu by combining unneeded components of lesser level), which you have to put up with if you want to survive. the mouse will be tormented in hope to trigger a combo by casting a binding spell and breaking it by a projectile or aoe spell which has destructive augmentation as its defining component (holding button(s) is needed to charge up a spell before casting it as it changes the output damage from low with certain low chance to trigger a critical upto the highest value which is an automatic critical where percentage multipliers apply depending on particular spell augmentations - charging up and casting time are also subjects to augmentations as many things can be tuned to improve responsiveness and symbolize battlemages ability and possibly supremacy after many deaths of course). its going to be tough, if you dont build a strategy. and thats not gonna happen anytime soon if you dont know the system thoroughly beforehand, because the game doesnt let you learn the system any other way than by trying to sling blindly assembled spell variations from what little components you start with and by dying a lot and thus reappearing at the latest checkpoint, where the rarity level of spell augmentations for improved efficiency (that you beat outta the enemies and are automatically attracted to your inventory) is reset as a "reward" for dying. achieved with cry-engine 3, sponsored by AMD. tbh, the internal antialiasing method seems kinda shoddy..

Cvrk · Jul 17, 2015

This was very very repetitive @haswrong . And hard ,i managed to finish it but ti did not bring me any joy. The Crysis engine looked good and surprisingly enough did not need a strong pc for it.

RCoon · Jul 17, 2015

It's funny, because the point in Early Access is for the developer to change the game and develop based on the game's community reaction to mechanics and content. Lichdom proves that developers can drop a game in Early Access, receive feedback straight away about a very clear issue with gameplay, and then totally ignore everything they're told and develop it exactly how they were going to in the first place.

Everyone moaned about spells and the spellcrafting system as soon as it released. Those problems still seem to exist almost a year later.

You think it's better then Tera Rising ? I know you experienced a lot of Tera. Even with the recent updates and new gunner class. How would you compare the fighting in Tera vs Final Fantasy ? The dodging and aiming of Tera is unique. The way i see it, it's a mmo. You get quests were you need to kill mobs . So killing mobs over and over and over etc again is all you do. Big mobs,small mobs ,unique mobs, bams,you name it. In Tera you had to be awake,other wise you would get killed every few minutes. Your reaction time had to be perfect.
As for the story line ? There is no story line. It's a mmo. I gived . I tired WoW lord of draenor like a month ago,I was super exacted to finally ever play the amazing World of Warcraft,it left be cold. Couldn't care less about it. Fallowing the story line in 4 days i had lvl 10. Completely super tedious and so boring.
So tell me, how is this Final Fantasy different from anything else ?
I know you are a anime fan, so maybe that is why you feel love for the game ?
