What are you playing?

[Ahhzz]

By the way, for any die-hards out there, they just put out an Update to Tribes Ascend. My keyboard doesn't have any keys directly related to how shocked I was to see that news, so I'll just leave that there.

I did the update this morning, and after selecting and tweaking a class load, I went for a quick-join CTF, which auto-spawned me in an empty map after about a minute of waiting for bodies. Noone showed up, so I contented my self with trying to remember how to ski. Right off the bat, Where the Hell is My Energy Pack in Medium?? I do see the return of the ELF, and a few things that sound promising...

*sigh* I'm thinking it's a little too late, and definitely a complete train wreck of an update, but I'll probably jump in tonite to see if any of the old crew is still around at all...

Path of Exile. It's pretty good.

Played Shadow of Mordor and Expansions. Have to say after being the badass ranger/wraith hybrid I can see why the Dwarfs give Elves all that grief. Celebrimbor is pretty combat weak by comparison and he just uses magic (read cheats/supers) to make up for his lack of prowess. Typical Elf, if you can't win a fair fight, cheat!

Glad you liked it! They really did put out a good game that had a lot of worthwhile hours of play (100+).

Foosball: World Tour got released on Steam a few days ago I guess. Since it was cheap and I play foosball every day at work I picked it up. It's actually pretty fun. I also am always playing Rocket League and have started playing L4D2 lately again....but going back to CS:GO tomorrow.

 

[flmatter]

@hellrazor yup it is I just got back into again after a long hiatus. It is actually a lot of fun the higher your level is.

Saw this thread (again) and thought I'd mention I'm back on the PS2 again...

This time, with the power of Free McBoot! I haven't really done anything yet, but I'm in the process of saving my PSX games to image files and going through the process of getting them on my PS2 HDD, learning along the way... there's also emulators for at least NES and SNES that'll run on the PS2. Heh, emulating super nintendo with a PS2... seems insane.

I'm replaying Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay. Some people keep bringing up great games from the past and making me want to play them again instead of playing my backlog of newer games (I'm looking at you @rtwjunkie). j/k I'm having fun with the game and that's all that really matters.

Got all my PSX games copied to my PS2 HDD and using POPSTARTER. The result is... disappointing. Most games don't run properly, if at all. I'm considering trying PS2PSXE as an alternative, but I heard it's not that great either. I saw some videos of it running, and FF7 is all jacked up, and Resident Evil looks like it runs really slow. At least there's still people working on it...

Evidently the whole issue surrounds the fact that when you load a real PS1 disc in the PS2, the PS2 basically works like a PS1 at the hardware level... but in order to run games off a hard drive like this, that function isn't available, so all you have to work with is the PS2 hardware working as a PS2. I wonder if anybody has tried to hack this. The functionality my PS2 has gained after installing Free McBoot astounds me... I'm sure there has to be a way to get it to work?

I've been playing an unhealthy amount of PAYDAY 2 (went from III-90 back to IV-90 in about two weeks).

I'm also back up to where I was in X: Rebirth and it is going much better having trade info at all stations. I only had to wait a little bit to get Fusion Reactors. The other 6 components were readily available. I've also already captured 5 XL ships where at this point last time, I only captured 2. I don't like how my PMC relation went from +16 to -20 but there's nothing I can do about that because it is scripted.

This morning I got around to learning the fine art of installing PS2 games to my HDD.

My PS2's functionality has expanded immensely. The ability to install these games to HDD is awesome, and I can do NES and SNES emulators too! The compatibility for PSX games on HDD (via emulator) is unfortunately not so good... but I do have the disc drive, after all. I wanted faster load times, better playability and not having to rely on the integrity of my discs or the PS2 optical drive, but for PSX that seems mostly a no-go. Some things do work great on it, though.

Whew, got all my PS2 games installed to HDD. Tried FHDB instead of FMCB (same software basically, one runs off the memory card, one off the hard drive) without much success. Some things appear to be broken, or at least in need of more googling and configuration thereafter. I wanted to keep the software off my memory card to save space on it and to run it off the faster HDD, but it seems too troublesome. I guess I'll just go off the memory card, seems most do it that way and is probably the most supported way of doing things considering slim PS2 can't use a real HDD setup. If I run out of space I'll just search ebay for one of the 64MB cards... but I'll keep FMCB on my standard 8MB just in case.

I sort of finished X: Rebirth. That last story mission was pretty disappointing gameplay wise because they task you with doing something your pathetic little fighter can't do (destroy a station module). Basically I just screwed around assuming the story-related capital ships would come, which they did, and the story progressed from there. It's disappointing because they literally could have just commanded you to go to this zone and stay alive. Ended with a thud, it did. I still like it all around and there's a few things I need to do yet before I take it out the "Must Play" category. X3 is still way better though.

Right now I'm downloading The Witcher 3 (thanks again @pigulici) and trying to reach level 100 in Payday 2 (currently at 98).

 

[rtwjunkie]

I've been buried for days with AC Black Flag. Had to go back and see which is better, Syndicate or Black Flag. i've changed my mind again, Black Flag edges it out.

Back to Killzone (PS2). I don't know what it is about this game... the feels, for some reason. I was disappointed when HDLoader didn't load it, but then I found out about compatibility settings. If I set "Kill HDL after launch" to yes, it seems to run fine. I find it odd that I would have compatibility issues with PS2 games on a PS2 in the first place, just because it's on the HDD, but at least it doesn't seem crippling.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Black Flag still hasn't reached a price I'm willing to pay.

I reached level 100 in Payday 2 but I made a boo-boo. I don't have $200,000,000 in my offshore account to turn infamous and I already respec'd all of my skill sets. So now I'm at level 100 but I might as well be at level 0 until I come up with $12,000,000 more offshore account cash. I wanted to get to level 0 and go back to X: Rebirth but I really need to grind for that offshore cash before I go back to X: Rebirth.

Been playing Blops 2 Zombies with my gf. Not really a CoD person since CoD4 but it's a nice change of pace from Battlefield and Rocket League. Trying to get her off the controller and onto mouse and keyboard.

Also playing FF7. I played on PC for a while, then started it on my PS2. I did quite a lot on my PC save, so I used the power of Free McBoot yet again to get my PC save over to my PS1 memory card by copying it to a USB stick, then copying to PS2 memory card. I then tried to use the PS2 browser to copy to my PS1 card, but it said it couldn't be copied. I decided to check out my PlayStation save file by copying it from my PS1 card to my PS2 card, then looking at it with uLaunchELF (which can't view/access a PS1 card directly). It seems each PS1 save file lives in its own folder with a strange, extension less name. I created a directory in my PS2 memory card, copied my PC save into it, did some renaming, then used the PS2 browser again to copy my hacked up file over to my PS1 card, and it loaded up! A fun little experiment, and it helped me to avoid redoing what I already did on PC.

Door Kickers...and many doors I have kicked. Pretty fun tactical shooter. The random number generator screws me over 90% of the time though.

I want to be playing Witcher 3 but, alas, I can't...yet.
