What are you playing now?
Finished MGS5 after playing it for 77 hours. Menu tells me I completed 53% of it- most of the rest is boring unlockable stuff, which I most likely won't bother with. The story is... well... let's say it didn't impressed me at all. Besides, it felt cut-off (which I now found out might be, because they've cut the third chapter for whatever reason) and still many questions remain. Also - while I like the idea of some of the missions being available with different rulesets (total stealth, etc), I totally hated this mission recycling in chapter 2. Yet another element that makes the game feel rushed and forcefully prolonged. It's a shame, because otherwise the game is pretty good. Just feels like it could be even better... I mean, damn. What about a little more variety in the enemy setup? I haven't seen a single surveillance camera except once in one of the mentioned recycled missions. Or the drone cameras, which you can develop by yourself for your FOBs. Or why is there only trucks and jeeps on the roads in freeform game mode? There is one mission / cutscene where you see a truckton of russian tanks and other assets--- never anywhere else in the game you see this many enemy vehicles. Also, why can't I deploy with my snatched walker gear? Only because I have this stupid D-Walker buddy? Bleh... I could see some DLCs being done for this game, especially due to its open mission structure, but sadly this probably won't ever happen now with Kojima gone.... tl;dr - game is good, but some things make me angry the way they are, because they easily could be much better.

People writing about Trespasser in here, I can only think of this... ...and wonder why people started playing it again.

Movies you've seen recently
Watched the first episode of Mr. Robot - actually pretty good so far. Certainly will continue with more episodes.

Brandenburg is the best part of Germany. Trust me, I know what I am talking about, as I am a Brandenburger.

Finished chapter 1 in MGS5. Looks like chapter 2 intruduces missions from chapter 1 with different rulesets... Hope to be able to snatch more tanks now!

Are you using mods? I don't remember ****pits from X³. /Edit: The male variant of chickenpits. If you know what I mean. This forum is censoring in hilarious ways.

What are you playing now?
Oh, but I hate that I can't use the fultoned walker gear later. They just disappear. Sux. I hate the D-Walker as a buddy and rather have it under normal vehicles.

Still doing MGS5 like crazy. Fully stealthed many missions now + it becomes a hobby of me to snatch vehicles. Especially tanks. My vehicle counter is going up fast. Just sux I can't Fulton gunships, even if they are on the ground. :>

For the most part, motherbase is a huge wiener party anyway. I mean, I have a staff of over 600 men and barely a hand of them are females. :>

Total War: Warhammer
Are Skaven in? If they are, I might maybe consider this game. If not, then meh.

What are you playing now?
Yeah, I can see her being very useful with silenced tranquilizer rifle. Sadly, I would need to spend qui(e)t some time with her to unlock it first... meh. Unsilenced rifle is really not in line with my playstyle. I like to super-stealth every mission, and enemy alert is not good for that. Already happens often enough that I make it till the near-end of a mission and then some stupid thing happens and the enemy will sound the alarm. :> (though, I got *a lot* better by now. Probably also because of D-Dog. His enemy spotting ability is so very useful.)

What are you playing now?
I finally got the Quiet companion in MGS5 and... lel, this is so stupid. Kojima really went fully over the top with this bs again. Besides, she really isn't very quiet if you got her as your buddy... actually she is very annoying, imo. D-Dog is the best / most useful companion so far, imo. Haven't really tested the D-Walker yet, but if he can also spot enemies in a certain radius around you, he might as well have a little more use than the other characters.

I dunno, so far I have seen nothing Fallout in this Mad Max game. Other than the leather jacket maybe, which is taken from the movies anyway. The atmosphere in the Mad Max game is really nothing like Fallout. The setting is too different, except for "there is lots of sand".

You can still cancle the order and then buy it again. I needed the two orders combined (game and book) to qualify for free shipping. If I cancel the order and re-order each separately, the book order won't meet the free shipping requirement. In any case, I e-mailed them to complain and now they're separating my order and shipping when each individual item is available, but not charging me for the extra shipping. So I guess that works. Heh, in germany book orders are always free of shipping costs, no matter the price. At least on Amazon... No idea if it's a general thing.. Usually only buy my books on Amazon.

Wait, did they gave people the drug and then had them have sex with HIV infected people or how does this work? If not, then how do they check when / if they had sex with a HIV infected person?

"some older CPUs" .. wouldn't call my CPU old yet. :> At least I could fix it on day 1 with the beta patch. Also I was able to fix the horrible screen tearing yesterday (forcing vsync and tripple buffering via NVIDIA settings + setting the game to fullscreen mode). Other than that, the game runs 100% fluid on my machine. No stuttering or fps drops at all. Additionally, the game plays great with a 360 gamepad. Phantom Pain plays exactly how I imagined it- Peace Walker with better graphics and less loading screens.

What are you playing now?
You can do the same. I think it was something like left analog stick to the left/right and pressing x (playing with 360 gamepad, no idea how it is on keyboard). This makes your car "strafe" to the side and hit them hard. Also maybe you'll have to upgrade your car a bit if you haven't done it yet.

Google tells me a truckton of people are having issues with MGS5 - mainly, the game crashes on startup. And I belong to the group of worthy people. Guess that's it with playing MGS5 today... Let's see when and if there will be a patch for that. Patching of Ground Zeroes was pretty low-priority, if I remember right.
