I'm currently playing a first-person action/shooter called, Advanced Battlegrounds (DreamCatcher). It's a fully 3D military-simulation style game where you battle futuristic soldiers, weaponry and installations, executing missions and sub-missions. It's really fucking tough, because it's almost like real battle situations, and you have to use your full arsenal of psionic abilities, weaponry, gadgets, radars, vehicles, explosives and maps just to stay alive. The beginning is kind of clunky and confusing, but once you get the hang of all the controls, the game really starts kicking some serious ass and has some wicked graphics going on as the game progresses. Excellent AI on the enemies. It's got a Doom style feel to it, but with the HalfLife/SiN/Wolfenstein fluidity/action. All in all, I'd give it a 9.5/10.
Have you played Arma 3 yet?Loaded up Sky Rim The other night and installed the forgotten city mod.

People still play that game? I thought The Witcher 3 left Skyrimjob in the dust long ago. -

Have you played Arma 3 yet?
Yes. I played it all the way through at normal difficulty. Great game. I've also played the entire Operation Flashpoint series from beginning to end. I've played just about every notable first-person shooter out there.

2015-10-28 at 4:51 AM UTCPlaying XCOM: The Bureau. It's bretty good, not a terribly complicated game but there are some interesting dynamics. I feel like the way squadmates work (don't do anything meaningful unless you're keeping them busy, can't hold a point without abilities and such) misses out on some real depth in terms of maneuvering, playing tactics rather than forcing your way through every encounter with abilities and you giving cover for the cooldown (this situation gets worse as the game goes on) but it's still fun.
Also I know perma-death is supposed to make combat more meaningful but making the game harder for playing poorly is usually a poor dynamic in single player and just makes you play really conservatively.People still play that game? I thought The Witcher 3 left Skyrimjob in the dust long ago.
Have you played the expansion? If so what did you think? I pirated it because I'm a cheap nigga but it's a great game and I'm considering buying and the expansion to support CDPR -
2015-11-20 at 10:08 AM UTCSince the PS4 came out I've finally been able to afford PS3 games. Recently finished Diablo and Batman: Arkham City. Now onto Shadow of Mordor.
Also Dwarf Fortress but I have stability issues running it on a Mac. -
2015-11-24 at 5:32 PM UTCI'm replaying Dark Souls currently, let me tell you I thought 2 was a piece of shit while playing it but going back to 1 has doubled that, almost makes me lose all hope for 3 considering how short Bloodborne was.
Ground Zeroes as well because I haven't got TPP yet and I might as well have everything I can going in. -
2015-11-25 at 5:34 AM UTCPirated FO4. It's aight, haven't gotten a lot of time to play though. I think I fucked up and went for a stealth build when I should have just gone full commando. I thought skyrim's much improved stealth system would translate but gun sneak bonuses aren't quite enough for reliable 1-hit-kills even on mooks but because they exist all sneaking is nerfed so playing melee-stealth is basically impossible. Guess it's my own damn fault for being an ammo jedi but whatever.
Also last weekend or the one before I played a game of Civ3, then Civ4, then Civ5 in like two days. Fun shit, I played so much 3 when I was a kid, playing it again was super nostalgic. -

Playing XCOM: The Bureau.
taht reminds me, I loved XCOM: Enemy Unknowjn last time I played it so I bought Enemy Within (the expansion) when it was on sale last.
turns out I also bought an ultrawide monitor since, and the assholes who make XCOM still haven't patched it to work with the aspect ratio. which is weird, because it renders and displays perfectly - the 'window' the mouse uses is essentially a 3:4 stretched to 16:10, so even though everything LOOKS fine, you have to click up to like 4cm away from a unit you're trying to select depending on how far away from the centre of the screen it is. -

None. i'm teaching myself how to code, but i got Hatred a while ago, it's ok but i had hoped it would have been more serial killer-esque instead of mass murderer-esque..
I thought the ending was corny, and a bit of a let down. -

Yeah, Enemy Unknown was excellent. Weird they don't support 16:10, they had a pretty big dev budget as I recall, original retail was close to AAA. How was the expansion? -

Oh man, geneforge is one of my favorite games of all time. Which one are you playing?
I'm on a spree of pirated mediocre AAA titles, Dying Light and FO4 mostly. FO4 is better than I thought it was going to be although it sure has shit-tier perf for a game with negligibly better graphics than its predecessor which came out like 5 years ago. Might start into DA Cisquisition as well just for shits and giggles. -

First one. I picked up the saga in the current GOG sale and thought I'd try it out. The sound assets suck and the graphics are nothing special, but the gameplay and story are solid.
I want to try out Jeff Vogel's other work, except for Avadon (because I hear it's casual as fuck). I was looking at Nethergate on Steam a few days ago and thinking it would be great if it went on sale soon. Was checking out the sale offers last night, and there was Nethergate, so I bought it.
Just don't like paying full price. I always regret it when I later see the game on sale. -
2015-12-08 at 2:41 PM UTCThink I might be playing Starbound for the next few days. A major update just got released.

Yeah, Jeff is pretty cool although I think Geneforge is his best stuff (2 is the pinnacle IMO but opinions differ) I can definitely see why people love Avernum, it was just never my cup of tea. All of his games have shit-tier graphics/audio but that's part of what makes them fun, I actually think as he's upgraded to sprites and stuff over the years the writing has fallen off a bit (I remember this one level in GF1 where the description near the beginning is like "the ground slopes upwards to the northeast" but it was put really well and of course the engine doesn't support anything but perfectly flat maps but just from the way it was described and the way enemies came after you I had the uncanny sensation of slogging my way up a hill).
Avadon was fun despite its flaws. It was well balanced but it also meant you never wondered into an area where you got your ass kicked and had to run away, which is a canonical experience for spiderweb games so I can see why people would call it casual. If it's on sale for a few bucks I'd say it's worth picking up although I can sympathize with its critics. -

I've been playing the demo, and it's pretty enjoyable. It's challenging enough on the higher difficulties. Skills and abilities are somewhat simplified, but I can live with that. -
