What are you playing?

Most probably would be wonder t hear that I wasn't interested in gaming sometime ago.. I hated gamers and I thought it was a time wasting and use-less task. But, things turned up side down once I got a chance to play mortal combat on PS4. I got excessive lure on playing games and found it's a best method to unleash stress and change confused mentality..
 
What game is this? I tried searching for it.

Magic the Gathering. Trading card game. Arena is f2p online (recommended!) and I also picked up and dusted off my actual real card collection again
 
I finished Halo 2 Anniversary solo yesterday because the coop had severe issues, the cinematics at the end of some levels made my friend and I go back in menu and having to do the whole level again...sad. I hope it will not do the same in Halo 3.

I continue Red Dead Online for the Outlaw Pass 3 and the boring naturalist job. How the hell does Harriet (the naturalist NPC) knows I kill a rabbit at the other edge of the map ? I think this sucks hard. The legendary animals missions are cool but the roaming legendary animals to find is just a bad idea. Good luck hunting those animals in 24 players lobbies full of people doing the exact same thing.

With age, I can't stay only on 1 game so I also play Just Cause 4, I think it's relaxing.
I'm waiting the next DLC for X4: Foundations, launching the game to get the ventures rewards only but I won't touch my 323hours last save where there is no more war between factions, no more enemies (killed every single Xenon). I can just conquer the whole galaxy but I think the state it is right now will be a good start for the next expansion.

I preordered Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition yesterday because I'm weak ! :D
 
So this happened;

This is not a fake. Read here;
There's another one for SMB2 here;
Playing that next!!
 
couldn't resist the division 2 for $10. Also got death stranding free with my gpu so I've been messing with that a little. Both of these games are glorified hamster wheels if you ask me, but worth a single playthrough at least nonetheless

Call of Duty Modern Warfare MP is available for free to Warzone players...
Some of y'all should jump on and lose with me.
 
Really felt the need for a bit of warzone today. Multiplayer was spot on now that i have loads of the cheaters on a block list but that doesnt seem to help with warzone. Every match obliterated by cheating... damn... such a waste of a good game...

Doesn't look like there were any cheaters in that game.

that's unfortunate, i haven't played that game much lately but I did at launch. back then cheating was not an issue
 

You get used to the speed of it..On that map 120+ isn't unusual for domination
 
^it's sheer and utter chaos. I also cracked 100 a while back when the map first dropped and that's always nice but it wasn't worth the headache and spending half the game trapped in the spawn/respawning. I avoided that map like the plague unless i was in a really good mood :roll:

There were actually but they dont seem to take the piss as much as the cheaters on warzone. I havnt won in months and as long as i dont get cought out of cover by a cheater im always top 10. Aguy asked me if i wanted to win the other day. It was my last game of the day and he switched on hacks and proceeded to kill everyone on the map and win the game. i streamed it and made it non public. I felt bad about reporting him after he tried to help me but ive reported hundreds. You have to add them to your block list.

I wasn't there so I can't say either way but I have a hard time believing it looking at those results. If was a hacker, I would never have less than 2:1 as I can generally do that in any game anyway.
 
Picked up and started Horizon Zero Dawn. The whole post-apocalyptic future time where people live mostly without technology and tribal, yet tech is all around them is a genre that I really enjoy. It has an Elex vibe, except not as janky. :laugh:
 
Half Life Alyx - Part 4
(check out 5.40 for the Gordan Freeman crowbar dialog )

So it turns out the game is about saving Gordon Freeman!!!!! Cant wait to see how it turns out, now that ive found out a decent part of the plot. :toast:

No spoilers!

EDIT:
Sure I can.

Man, those jukebox expedition missions in Control are fuckin brutal. I think somebody drank to much Destiny. They're 25-minute arena challenges with crazy waves of enemies with high danger levels (AND are stronger for their level,) with a handful of objectives you have to finish as you fight/avoid them. Extremely unforgiving shit. You always start with an enemy-favoring perk/handicap in play, like enemies having double or triple health, nearly double accuracy, more than double damage... you have to figure out how to make advantages out of it with seize, or using weapons that cut through certain enemies when set up right. You'll get every kind of super-enemy, sometimes in pairs AND mixes simultaneously. Just things coming at you from everywhere. Whether you fight or evade it's constantly like Indiana Jones running from the boulder... only when he does slip away he looks behind him and there's another one rolling down, but this one has spikes... and then he dodges that one only to be chased by one that also has spikes... only this one is also on fire... and the floor is made of snakes.

I feel like I need to drink to attempt more than one per day. Just... so much fear, anger, anticipation, insecurity... they're an emotional roller-coaster to play through, though it's a rush to actually beat the upper tiers. Though I'm betting a lot of people struggle with the lowest one, which frankly is already nintendo hard. Really. They did everything possible to make sure you are underpowered/overwhelmed, even throwing in some RNG fuckery to make sure some attempts are massively harder than they already are usually! I don't know WTF they were thinking with this. And to think, you have to grind for tokens in order to get the privilege of receiving these shock-and-awe ass-beatings.

I mean... it's cool. It looks cool and it forces you to the limits of your abilities and understanding of the gameplay. It's just so much so that you'll go from being so good at the game that you're bored to smashing the controller/mouse/keyboard. The best you can possibly do with perks/weapons is not enough to make a dent in the overall challenge level. I would smash my keyboard with my controller but that'd be $300 I'm smashing together hoping for victory, so I think maybe I'll take my parents old advice and come back later.
 
Got back to Yakuza 5 and got hit with worst of them all. Chapter 3 part 1, Haruka... Seriously, whoever thought it would be a great idea to dedicate entire half of the chapter to what amounts for a pretty much a button mashing dancing minigame must be hated by a whole bunch of folks out there.
Tried to relief stress by launching Judgement for the first time. First cutscene - can't even hold 30 fps. First fight has dips into lower mid 20's. I'll give it a try once PS5 comes out, or it hits the PC. Doing it on a PS4 just doesn't cut it. They've clearly bitten more than they could chew with that engine. Sure, Yakuza 5 is PS3 tech, but it runs flawlessly at 60fps and you just can't beat that.

It's 33C out, probably 30C inside. What a scorcher.

Neat! How is it performance wise, smooth or jittery like some reviews say?

I hadn't even noticed it had launched already lol
 
I’ve just been aimlessly puttering around the house, not really deciding on anything to play for the last week. I believe I will pick up Zero Dawn as well. Looks interesting.

I'm playing it now for the forth time...I think you'll like it. I got mine from Epic and it'll run without the store if you'll run the exe from the install folder. Is it DRM free or not...who knows?


edit: oops, i din't see your repost untill it was too late.

Yeah, heard Judgment runs pretty poorly on PS4, pro somewhat solves it, there are still small drops and a micro stutter like behavior when entering encounters. Only way i can see that game running great is on a PS5 :p

For Y5 , you get to switch between 2 chars once you push the haruka chapter enough, you might find alternating between dance battle / combat char more palatable.
