What are you playing?

I've let myself into the highly addictive State of Decay 2 I started 5 days ago. I've put in an unbelievable number of hours.

I'm in the mood for something different, worth buying for $30?
 
IMHO, yes! I've got 59 hours in it, not bored, and there are 4 different map areas that will take your community about 40 hours or more to "tame" each, as well as get a better community home than you start out with. Right now I'm in a palace practically, a fortified strip mall.
 
I've been off here for a few days. I broke my big toe, and of course I've not gone to doctor, no way not now, and pain has been awful. With Covid around we can't use things like Advil .Tyleno0l does not work, at least not any better than eating a piece of fruit, LOL.

So instead, I've let myself into the highly addictive State of Decay 2 I started 5 days ago. I've put in an unbelievable number of hours. I appreciate getting to punch the ticket and move onto a new map. This one is semi-desert community in mountains, so it's arid more than anything. I've managed to kill of three of my best people so far...unintentionally. Well, the last one was a certain death, being piled on by about 50 zombies. I did the only self-respecting thing you can do....drop 5 molotovs in quick succession! yep, I took most of them with me. :D

I'll get a few pics up after my workday ends and I can slide over to my gaming computer.


This was a really surprisingly good game! I was on the fence when it came out, and just decided I liked the premise. I was glad I did it!

Get well soon! Have you considered just giving the doctor a call and get a consultation from a distance? Whatsapp video call, for example. Its how most regular visits get handled over here.

Thanks! I haven't talked to my doctor yet. It's getting better. If it takes a bad turn, leading me to believe it is not healing, I will telecall him. A shoe works much like a cast, and has helped it a lot.

Sorry about off topic, everyone!
 
A game within a game. Only 2 levels though. >Observer_
RIP Rutger Hauer. :(

Hope your toe is better soon!

Have State of Decay 1 and it's a blast. State of Decay 2 is highly recommended?
 
Sorry about off topic, everyone!

We already reported you and are expecting a one week thread ban for you. We also recommended mods institute mandatory rest and ice for the duration of the thread ban.

I had no idea that this game existed,only noticed now cause it was free on EPIC but the description+trailer looked interesting so I gave it a try and so far I like it,probably gonna finish it too.

Also broken toes suck,I broke the smaller one next to the big toe back in my elementary school days and they made me stay in the school until we were done with the day and then walked home like that 'cause the all knowing gym teacher said its not broken and its nothing'.

Ofc my parents took me to the hospital to get it checked,by the time it had a color and was bigger than normal and needless to say the x-ray showed that it was broken and even the third toe was slightly damaged.
They gave me nothing nor did anything with it,just told me to rest it and put a wet towel on it for a while and also stayed home for a week+ and did not have to attend gym classes for a month.
 
In the end, I couldn't resist Grid (2019) at 60% off and it's everything I was hoping it would be, with some added spice - a nemesis driver who gets that handle after being provoked by aggressive drivers, i.e. me.
The graphics have really been ramped up, where previously you could run it on a toaster and there's a massive selection of tracks, especially on the Ultimate Edition which I went for.
I've also come to the conclusion that I'm definitely a casual arcade racer and simply in it for the fun. Project Cars 2, although a superb sim, is very serious indeed.

I found another PC with 4 levels.

Snow White in The Wolf Among Us is such a wife material. Though she's kinda bitchy at times. I don't have a screenshot of hers cause I'm not some screenshot junkie like you onaholes.

Got into Rainbow Six Siege after almost a year hiatus. My mouse (G102) starts acting up. Left button is sometimes double-clicking, Right button is disconnecting when holding ADS, and thumb buttons are also unresponsive and/or double-clicking. Not to mention because of my hiatus I'm getting match-made with asshole, toxic, trolling piece of shit coppers and what-nots. Seems like I have to find a relaible 5-stack squad. But that's the least of my worries because of the mouse.

I'm testing some shaders I'm making on Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet, so I can use them later for Skyrim/Fallout 4.

Vanilla game doesn't look all that different from what UE3 can do honestly, and the game still manages to get the GPU to work up a bit with fancy stuff like Ambient Occlusion turned off. This port of UE4 engine can only run in OpenGL it seems, don't know why they chose that over DX11/12. It's a sloppy PC port just like Dark Souls 3/DB:XV are (No true ultra-wide support, no FOV slider, not even in the .ini files is there an adjustment, among other issues. Bandai-Namco didn't bother telling them to fix these things.

I like the low amount of draw calls though. Most open-areas really lack any detail, maybe you can see a few objects here and there but the maps are kind of bare. Hence the low-amount of work it should be doing, but for some reason the GPU usage is much higher than what I expected, while devs recommend a particularly low-end GPU by today's standards.

The game itself is pretty straightforward, I would describe it as Borderlands x DB: Xenoverse mashup, but mostly gameplay-wise. The customization options are okay. Couldn't really care for the included story most of the time. There are a few nods to the series here and there, but nothing to excite you over too much. You can use swords if you REALLY want to, but I don't see why you should, unless you PvP and want to live out your dreams as black swordsman "Jesus-kun". A lot of field enemies are either in the air or their weak spots cannot be reached in melee range, same goes for bosses.

Overall, I like it for what it is. I started a second play-through because I missed some stuff and other events.

excuse me... but what the F ...

tho i agree i am a screenshot junkie ... ah, whatev'

ok ... strange achievement :
Immortal Photobomb
Caught an image of Gentiana in a photo.
Prompto is a snapshot junkie (well at last it's not me who's taking the shots) and i got 2 time that :

putting aside the mid 60's american feeling ... the game is awesome and still put out some interesting surprises even after 40 hrs (that achievement is one hilarious thing) and the auto snapshot is awesome (finally a game where 95% of the screenshots are not from me ... ) and it's not my fault that Prompto is a good photographer

i find myself more, fishing than fighting ... quite the tragic prince who lost his father and on a quest for power to exact revenge ...

but no grudge can hold against the power of scenery (specially when stuck @ home ... )

quartz nodes.

Still need to power them, though.
 
Hey Gramps, for pain management on that toe hit the other one with a hammer. Just get well soon and don't step into a Doctor's office...you'll come out worse off.

Finished New Vegas. Went off my nut and killed them all on the strip...i.e. Independent Vegas ending.

I started Fallout 4. I guess i'm doing the summer of reruns a little early. I did Assassin's Creed 3 through Odyssey last year. Assassin's Creed Syndicate was the biggest surprise and Unity was the letdown...Odyssey was my number 1, Syndicate 2, Black Flag and Origins tied for 3 as ratings go.

Fallout 4 has one of the best character creator modes...I think i'm do'n alright.

OH SHIT THIS IS SO GOOD.
Mechwarrior 5... if you know what's what... you can't miss this one. Pure nostalgia, and done right. I'm totally hooked, its like Battletech in almost every way, but now you're an actual pilot. Just as it should be. Launch version had its niggles, but its good now.

The mechs feel right, graphics look okay and really a straight upgrade from the old maps; generic buildings and platforms and all destructible... full lance customization and a map with tons of semi random stuff. Well worth it and on a small sale @ epic.
