What are you playing?

Never played half-life games so can't compare but Dishonored was a good game. Enemy AI was quite dumb but level design and atmosphere is unforgettable. Unfortunately lots of abilities in Dishonored made no sense, I just used that "teleportation" or "phasing" (played long time ago can't remember the name) all the time. I liked architecture style and side quests. Unfortunately game punishes you for killing people which prevents you from going Rambo.

Well if you don't mind one of the weirder (I won't necessarily call it a bad one, since you get achivements for bad endings too) endings, you can go full assassin mode too! That was my first playthru.

@manofthem, you get the full scope of the game by playing 2-3 playthrus at different style. I HIGHLY recommend the DLC's. They are an entirely new story from the perspective of the assassin you are up against in the main story. As such, you are missing nothing by not getting them (unlike alot of DLC's), but they are superbly done and very fun, getting you about another 10 hours of gaming.

Tell me this doesn't look awesome!

 
-Got all achivements in MiniMetro.
-Replayed (without getting all the stars) Talos Principle with Sam voicing (liked Sam way better than Elohim).
-Playing/modding some Farming Simulator 2015 in there.
-Playing some FortressCraft: Evolved which is now officially out of Early Access.
-Currently playing (rather, almost done) Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna DLC (more like expansion). So far, I'm really liking Road to Gehenna. I'd say I like it even more than the base game but the DLC wouldn't make much sense without first finishing the base game.

"Blink"

I did a Rambo play of Dishonored once. Just make sure it is set on the easiest difficulty.

Ah blink yeah now I remember. Unfortunately weapon selection is pretty poor in Dishonored and sword fight mechanics is extremely simplified. I hope they improve this and enemy ai in Dishonored 2. Hand to hand combat elements would be awesome too.


First person singplayer games with rpg elements are awesome, games like Metro 2033 or Dishonored.

I haven't really gotten into Road to Gehenna. I found it less intuitive as to what I'm supposed to do than The Talos Principle. That said, I REALLY enjoyed the main game. I guess I need some distraction free time to really concentrate.

I've been playing the hell out of Shadow of Mordor the last week or so(45 hours). I can say, I think it's the only game I can specifically recall that has consistently stayed above 3GB in VRAM usage, but it's been smooth as silk. Having put in over 100 hours on Mad Max, it feels very familiar.

I had played about about 2 hours 8 months ago, and found it very difficult, so I had set it aside. Since I did so well at Mad Max, transitioning to the combat in Mordor was a breeze! :cool:
 
Im restarting to play Euro truck Simulator 2 but one of my main profiles is broken so i have to redone all :(.
Playing with a friend Spintires.
Restarted to play World of Warships XD and as game a like buyed on steam day deal Fractured Space and is really cool with some similarities with wow .

The puzzles are much, much harder in Road to Gehenna and there are a lot of them. If I'd rate Talos Principle 7, Gehenna would be a 8 or 9.

I finished Road to Gehenna in 8-11 hours (somewhere in there). Not sure what I'm going to play next.


I wish Shadow of Mordor had co-op.
 
Dead Space has to be one of the most intense games ever.
 
Just finished The Stanley Parable again and again....:laugh: :D
 
Aurora.

If you want to know more, this is that game. It's excellent.
 
I finally got the Strike Three achievement in Strike Suit Zero finishing out all of the achievements in that game. The reason why I waited this long is because someone replied to a thread I posted about the achievement not working a long time ago. Their tip was enough for me to finish it.

Right now, I'm playing Cities: Skylines.
 
Well I finished the SC2:LOTV campaign. It was not what I wanted but it was an ending and that's enough for me. Probably a massive waste of 40$ on my part because I won't play SC2 for anything but the story because I'm so very very bad at it and I much prefer Planetary Annihilation game play wise
 
well i got FC4 sooner than expected ... thanks to a promotion on the Complete Edition from my Etailer

pro: 25.50chf for the game + season pass instead of 39.90€ for the game alone and 29.90€ for the season pass, "Major Pro" now i can enjoy Kyrat beauty (outside of war and brutal murdering...) on my own account.

cons: well ... i had STEAM overcharged with games ... Origin with at last 10 games between 2 account (don't ask why 2 account...) and now ... Uplay with ... 1 game :ohwell:

2hrs download left hum i guess i kill some time on another game
funny SweetFX, i knew it from Skyrim graphic enhancement (and some other games also) but i didn't thought of using it on WoWs, more crispy render ... and funny above all slightly more stable FPS with all on max in settings
shot-15.11.16_14.45.48-0690.jpg
well also lucky skin are client side ... otherwise with a glowing white and blue Atago (Takao FOG skin, Arpeggio of BlueSteel) i would be spotted outside range (well not really since detection range is calculated i.e.: 11.9km surface 8.9km aerial)

and this is how you go all or nothing on a Destroyer (Minekaze Tier V ) not even a shell fired from the main battery, 12 torps fired in total 11 hit 11 flooding 3 kill (1 Cruiser 1 Plane Carrier 1 Battleship ) crossing the whole map to obliterate the carrier was indeed a rich idea ...
shot-15.11.17_12.12.43-0234.jpg

and that conclude my wows for today ... i did all my points but with FC4 download my Ping was all over the place ...

non online game hum ... Wolfenstein the old blood, Bioshock infinite, Metro or ... the good ol' usual Skyrim ... hard time for choice

What's the warships game like? How's the gameplay? I kind of liked the idea of tanks, but never tried it because the setting looked a bit too oldschool for me.
 
FFX on emulator, since the original version didn't support widescreen. Plus now its high-res!

Still rocking Cities: Skylines. The maps are just massive and there is so much intricacy to the game that you can really focus in on different aspects tweaking things just right. This is the first game in quite some time that I have not gotten bored of it after 10 hours of game play. I highly recommend it if you like sims strat games.

Do you play the regular way? Or with unlimited money?

I play Cities Skylines once and a while, I like to play with unlimited money and a maximum building space of 25 Blocks, instead of the standard 9 blocks. (requires a mod)

Only problem is, it takes a ridiculous amount of time to build up a 25 square city lol!

Currently playing FO4 and GTA V

well i actually love it but i can't describe it correctly ... targeting and firing is actually fun , lot's of parameter, i.e.: sniping at 26km in a Fusou and getting 8 hits on 12 shell for a 50k~ salvo while still being on the move and watch for incoming shells is ... fun, even the target can avoid them if they notice the salvo coming (with a 18sec shell to target flight time ... it would be sad if it was not the case )

accelerating, slowing down to 3/4 speed to make a sharper starboard turn to evade a torpedo pack coming right at your side is also ... fun (not slowing down would had at last 1 or 2 of them hitting me)
maneuvering to get a right angle to fire torps (if on a destroyer, they are more nimble than a cruiser and also, good at surprise attack) can be pretty tricky, actually on my 2nd screen shot i never fired any of my torps above 4kms range (the Type 92 have 7km range but i always tend to go close range even if it's dangerous, technically speaking, since the Minekaze, for example, has a 6km on sea detection range and 7km torp range (which mean i could also fire my torps without being spotted at the time they go to their target (tho the act of launching them make me detected instantly, but oh well: *poof* goes the smokescreen, "i was there =>now i am not" edit: firing moving in a smokescreen is visible, well firing give out your actuall position, and moving, not all notice it but you can still see the smoke from the smokestack and guesstimate the position of the ship in the smoke )

for the moment i play only on co-op which can explain why i get that kind of results
tho bot can also be deadly accurate ... i got one shot in my Atago on the mission start by a Tier VI Warspite (premium English battleship ) for around 40700pts dmg on a citadel hit (ammunition depot in the turret well, vital parts of the ship in the center, command post, are citadel hit)

and plane carrier are fun ... the game morph into a RTS when you get into one

I play the regular way. I don't like playing games in a way they were not designed. Also playing FO4 and it is fun despite my failing.

No mods and the map I'm playing is 5x5.


I started and finished The Baconing today. I've also sent several emails about trying to get Act of War: High Treason working. Not sure what I'm going to play next because it will probably take Valve a month to get back to me on High Treason.
 
Life is Strange, just got interesting.
