What are you playing?

RCoon · Oct 28, 2015

Well I got an email inviting me to Blizzard's Overwatch Closed Beta, but missed the deadline because I was in training and sitting a test all day. Fortunately I got an email from Gearbox inviting me to their Battleborn Closed Technical test.

Unfortunately I'm under NDA.

Anybody else got into either of these?

Kursah · Oct 28, 2015

Nope but I am beta testing a future space sim that I'm under NDA for and hopefully I'll be allowed to at least release the name of it soon.

Oooh, that reminds me, Endless Space 2 is a thing now.

I finished Far Cry 4 and now just going through the map doing any extra missions and looking for loot.

I have to say that the game got better as it went on whereas at first I thought it dragged a bit. And as the game progresses, you start to feel a model dilemma building which makes the ending particularly memorable, more so than FC3.

In the ending where you have to decide between which person will take the lead of the Golden Path, it was great because there was no good decision; I really felt torn and chose what I thought to be the lesser of 2 evils.

And afterward, I still felt the weight of the decision. Been a while, if ever, since I've felt that in an fps.

i have it on my wishlist ... (depth) but for now ... i need to restrain myself on any compulsive buying :roll:

(yep sad month ... even 22.99€ is too much, but, eh... i have enough games for now

):

(only steam not counting the countless other one that are "non steam")

ohhh that reminds me that i bought Aquanox and Aquanox 2 on GoG ... i really need to play them next (i have some really good memory of Archimedian Dynasty and Aquanox/2 )

edit ... so true ...

Valeriant · Oct 29, 2015

Playing "The Park", a horror mystery adventure game.

It's a first-person exploration type of game, like Vanishing of Ethan Carter. It's a walking-simulator story-driven game though, so you just sit-and-watch a lot of the time. Anyway, it's Halloween, the price is $10, 23% discount on Steam and I'm in the mood.

Oh and not a big deal but unlike a lot of first-person games (Dying Light or Far Cry 4), I like the fact that I can see my foot when I look down and my body actually not a ghost and casts shadow.

It adds a bit scare in some part... seeing your own shadow.

Good to hear! I bought this the other day, and looking forward to playing tonight.

RCoon · Oct 29, 2015

Project Genom founder packs are up for sale, and also discounted. Got mine earlier, although it's so early in development I'd probably sit back and wait a while. Might see if I can give it a bash tonight and show some screens of the test build.

lucky indeed

again on WoWs .... plane carrier are fun ... since it's the less damaged ship if the team play well, it's a good money making method (and xp also ...)
(don't mind my Zuiho skin ahah!... she's a bit shy ... NO i don't have any issue, beside being a Kancolle fan ... even my sound are moded ... i get a PAN-PAKA-PA-N! when i sink a enemy ship :rolleyes:

)

Halloween event

Salem Witch cruiser and Phantom Fortress plane carrier eh? even the planes are skinned, Jack'o lantern for the nicknamed "Flapjack" Vought XF5U .... pretty fitting and awesome :roll:

LightningJR · Oct 30, 2015

Still play D3 a bit. Also bought the Humble Jumbo Bundle 5 and playing Spintires.

RCoon · Nov 3, 2015

Just got press access to Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void. Unfortunately press don't get access to the full game until release, so the review will be up the second Thursday following release day of the 10th (19th Nov). In the meantime however I have Beta access!

rtwjunkie · Nov 3, 2015

I finished The Talos Principle with 35 hours in. What a brilliant game!!

I then went and played the short game The Park. It is set in the Secret World setting, but is a single player narrative horror game.

@Valeriant man what a creepy ending, taking a turn about halfway in I definately did not expect! Well written story, and EXCELLENT use of sound.

FordGT90Concept · Nov 3, 2015

I have 40 hours in Talos Principle. I beat it twice: once for fun and again for achievements (got them all and the cat ending). I'm waiting for the expansion to go on sale.

In the last week, I played FortressCraft: Evolved almost non-stop. I uploaded a lot of pictures of bugs and stuff so if you want to see them, they are here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/igofast/screenshots/?appid=254200

I had a BSOD which heavily corrupted the world. I looted the old world and transferred my inventory, research, and scans to a new world. In the new world, I already mined the deepest I've ever been (>1000m underground). My mining/production is pathetic though because I haven't decided what I'm actually going to do yet.

Playing VoidExpanse right now.

Ahhzz · Nov 4, 2015

How about what I'd like to be playing? anyone play the Longbow games way back when?? I'd love to find a good replacement attack chopper game....

Mindweaver · Nov 4, 2015

Started playing Fallout New vega's and I just bought Ark: Survival Evolved over the weekend when it was on sale and....... It's kickass! By far the best survival game I've played lately that's early access. I bought it for VR, but I've not tried it with my Oculus yet. Oh and I completely forgot about buying The Vanishing of Eithan Carter: Redux for Oculus and it's amazing and by far the best VR game I've played, but sadly they turned off VR support until it's complete.

FordGT90Concept · Nov 5, 2015

So I had a ship in VoidExpanse that had two level 1 turrets and one level 2 stationary gun. I saw a ship a class larger with four level 2 turrets and I was all "hell, yes!" Then I bought it, I equipped it, and guess what? Two are starboard and two are port--each side with a 90 degree arch and the game does not support AI targeting/firing. My firepower effectively halved. :cry:

I'm grinding now to get the ship I originally wanted but couldn't afford.

Did anyone try Fallout 3 on windows 8.1?
On steam I read it's not fully optimised for windows 7 and up.

GreiverBlade · Nov 5, 2015

a lil surprise for @rtwjunkie

i said Gavin Dunne was a genius ... didn't i?

i could try, oh 3 ... drat i only have New Vegas

tho on my Alpha (the only rig i have that isn't under 7 Pro or XP Pro) any game pass on 8.1 (standard) even the older like Sudeki (Steam version, the original box i have run only on XP and sometime on 7 with a custom patch )

It used to work just fine for me on 7. I confess tho, I have not kept it installed after 7, but have instead kept New Vegas.

FordGT90Concept · Nov 5, 2015

I got the VoidExpanse ship I originally wanted: the Death Bringer and death, it brings. >:D

RCoon · Nov 5, 2015

How interested would people be if we covered EGX Rezzed 2016 in an official capacity? Three day special event tickets aren't too expensive, and plenty of developers harass me about attending. Probably about time I started going to these things.

rtwjunkie · Nov 5, 2015

It would probably be great for you to go. A face to face for devs to see and talk to reviewers, and vice-versa. Face time is always good.

Seeing a sneek peek at alot of upcoming games might be good for keeping our mouths watering too!

I confess, I had never heard of it and had to go to the website to see what it is all about. Another sign I'm getting old....

I keep stopping and starting on a few games but I guess I'm progressively playing FIFA 16 and still engrossed in Isaac Rebirth, it's just too addictive.
