What are you playing?

[Gorstak]

That doesn’t happen in Odyssey. Other than expanding on some of the lore and the background of prior civilization it’s not like the earlier titles at all. In fact it’s a title I would specifically recommend to anyone that doesn’t like AC games.

Well, ok, but I don't know how the story goes from begining so I wont be playing it. I do like the fact they improved their game, maybe it's time for something new, building upon this?

5 minutes of fuel and only 60 rounds per gun. Fun rocket-plane.

I'm currently playing We Happy Few. Didn't get to far into the game yet since I had to head out the door for work.

I'm not really liking Gothic II. It's the first time ever in a game where I felt overwhelmed by quests, the vagueness of their description, and bugs in completion (e.g. I may have sold a quest item bow). That's in Chapter 1. Chapter 2, I'm running around hostile territory into enemies that easily can kill me if they get in punching range, I ran out of the hundreds of arrows I brought, I have no idea where I'm supposed to go, there's no beds anywhere to heal, and I'm quickly running out of healing items. At this point, I just want it to be over. Gothic was a better game.

Very close to Light Level of 630 in Destiny 2... now I'd just have to wait for the next reset & I can start the grinding phase all over again. XDD

I think I installed this when I ran it last year.... but I never finishes, unfortunately....

Gothic always struck me as a spartan RPG, and I do mean spartan in gameplay and comfort. Never could get used to it.

Oh sweet mercy, I've flown that sucker a lot in Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 (mp). Take-off from a carrier and landing (read: crashing) on the runway.

I wish I knew about that before I started. I'm 26 hours in now (third chapter). It is too late to start over with that installed.

I hacked my save so my character is OP (like 2000+ HP/Mana, 200+ strength/dexterity, ~100,000 gold, etc.) to make it playable. I could see it not being enjoyable without hacking. The game's combat mechanics are atrocious and the damage systems are unforgiving. Even with the scales tipped heavily in my favor, a group of Wargs or Orcs can still kill me in very little time.

I probably should make a save editor but...eh...

That sounds a lot like how I'd do it. Hell, it sounds like Skyrim to me.

never laughed so hard ...

until ...

which it is clearly an Iron-Duke Classe Dreadnought hull and guns ... was called the HMS Sussex ... which is a County sub class cruiser ... for a war history freak like me it's ... uuuhhhhh

nonetheless pretty much enjoyable juggling between a FLAK 38 downing some ME-109 and Ju-87 Stuka and a PAK 40 taking some Kubelwagen, PzKpfw IV and SdKfz 251 apart ...

onto the next story ...

not bad not bad ... a Norwegian girl, Solveig Fia Bjørnstad , that start on ski ... and then most start by throwing knife then unscopped shots with a Krag–Jørgensen stealing a Kar98K with a 6X and then a ZH-29, although another oddity since it's a chinese rifle ... feel good


Solveig Fia Bjørnstad, in the flesh ... too young ... but that's the horror of war ... (although she's stated to be 18)

 

[SN2716057]

Well into the (happy) new year (all), just finished the last chapter (5) in The Room Three. Now the ending(s).

 

[Super XP]

PREY (127 Hrs)
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (24 Hrs)
Wolfenstein: The New Order (30 Hrs)
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (10 Hrs)
DOOM (30 Hrs)
L4D2 (Over 1,700 Hrs)
etc., just doing various competitions within the Wolfenstein games.

 

[cucker tarlson]

a hunter build (skills+armor) with the hades bow is absolutely devastating

Finally finished Gothic 2 and it was apparently good enough for me to spend $2.49 on Gothic 3. About three minutes after I placed the order, I had second thoughts but then dismissed them because it's only $2.49. GOG says I put 44 hours into Gothic 2 and there's a lot of quests I didn't finish because of bugs or confusion.

On to LEGO: Lord of the Rings for me.

 

[Rahnak]

Finally finished Horizon Zero Dawn and started God of War. The control layout is tripping me out big time and too late did I think to go into the settings to see if I could change it to a more familiar mapping. I hope Kratos can forgive me the awful combat performance until my hands memorize the controls.

 

[Super XP]

Had the same issue with Enemy Front. Can't configure the keyboard controls fully. Like it won't allow me to use the ENTER button in relation to the common "E" button. I'm left handed so E simply becomes unplayable. Lol

The same goes for PREY Typhon Hunter, currently it's completely useless because you can't configure the Keyboard At All.

So wait... they took an operation that was done by the British and Norwegian commandos and gave it a mother / daughter team?

well ... plot twist ... actually, in the game, the mother was the inside helper of the British team and the daughter the "rescue team" they changed a bit the setup for a more "grand" action


ohhhh yep that's the plant ...

almost ...

If I am not mistaken, that looks like Farcry 5 or 4.

Crysis from 2007 of all games. I'd never forget it. And no my PC couldn't play it worth a damn when it came out...well maybe at 1024x768 lol. At least until I got a 9600GT.

Speaking of FarCry 5, here's some screens I took:

Spoiler: FarCry5

I've been playing it a little more lately...still in the earlier parts of the game but having fun. I still need to go back and finish FC2, that game for being almost as old as Crysis still looks pretty damn good as well. The cloud development and fire spread and other physics-based stuff is just awesome in FC2...I think I may be more impressed with it now than I was in 2008. It also is a pretty light load on my system now...it was killer back in 2008! The different fog, day/night cycles, weather, etc...was and still is very cool.

Spoiler: FarCry2

Too difficult without quest markers ?
You're not supposed to rush that game. You have to clear the map for all that sweet exp, you have to pull mobs one by one.. It's like a dungeon in WoW, but you're soloing in white gear.

They are still making games like this. Electric has the same characteristics. First several hours frustrating and non-intuitive, then the next 90 fun. It just took awhile to remember that’s how the Gothic games were years ago.
