Oerwinde Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hatred hit 2 bucks on Steam so I bit the bullet. I don't regret the 2 bucks, but more than that might be questionable. I enjoy the murder and destruction, but the controls are terrible. Need to boot up Shadows of Mordor again. I got the game of the year upgrade for 2 bucks last week. 1 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm so tempted to play the Witcher 3 again, with the first expansion. I'm just forcing myself not to because then I'll have to play *another* time when the second expansion is released later this year. 2 "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceVC Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Still doing stuff with Train Fever. The transportation system is beginning to annoy the hell out of me again- the so called 20 minute rule for everything, especially for goods. I like to play on big maps with fewer towns, but due to the way the random map generation works, it is possible for industries to be so far apart that you just can't keep the lines going in special cases. Wasted a few hours on a map, then my towns upgrade "too high" and require more goods, which I am unable to produce and because I am unable to produce the situation gets worse and everything is falling apart. It wouldn't be that much a problem if I would upgrade to high tech trains, but tbh, I like the steam / early electric time period just too much. :/ I really hope they adjust this for Transport Fever. Else it just won't be any fun- occasionally you have to meta game the crap out of it to make stuff work. In situation where you don't have to bother with this stuff, it's a good game now (unlike prior a truckload of patches). Anyway, I started working on my first Train Fever mod: A black variant of the Milwaukee Road Class EP-2. :> Lexx this game looks good....are there any Romance options ?

Malcador Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Played more GTA Online. Is amusing to get abuse as I have a female characterm as it is so low level. Rather stunning how easy it is to cheat though. Also will give Star Ruler a go again to absolve myself of the shame of giving up on it earlier due to not grokking it.

Katphood Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Played some more Okami today. It's quite a long game, 19+ hours into the game and the end is still nowhere in sight. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oerwinde Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Ended up with a few extra bucks on my last paycheck so I preordered Stellaris.

Hurlshort Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It's payday, so I picked up Hard West on sale and Banner Saga 2. I started a replay of the original Banner Saga, and I'm torn between continuing or just starting the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serrano Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) How does Banner Saga 2 handle choices you made in the previous game? Do you need to have kept your save file or be relegated to a pre-determined world state? Are the choices at all meaningful or entirely superficial?

Hurlshort Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I know there is a big choice between who the main protagonist is depending on how the first game ended. I dont have a save anymore, so hopefully it lets me choose what I did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofAnakin Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 To those who are playing/have played the Division, does it really get better? I was turned off the game because of the beginning. It was so empty and nothing was going on other than the mission you're given. I'm having trouble convincing myself to give it another go because of how boring the first part is.

Keyrock Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I started playing The Detail. It's an episodic point & click crime drama. My stance on episodic games is similar to my stance on early access. I have no issue with the format existing I just won't buy it until it's finished, in the case of episodic games that means all the episodes are out. The 3rd and final episode came out a couple days ago so I scooped it up. Not exactly the funny and lighthearted point & click I have an itch to play, quite the polar opposite in fact, but I do really like police/detective games, and not shooters where you just happen to be wearing blue instead of camo or brown, but police games where you follow proper procedures (or break them if you're playing a crooked cop or a loose cannon) and investigate crimes. The first 2 episodes got pretty good reviews, though I've avoided all story discussion like the plague, and this seemed right up my alley, so I took the plunge. The game seems quite dark and gritty and it has a really nice comic book style presentation. It looks like it presents you with choices during gameplay too, a few of which seem like they're time sensitive, though no telling yet whether the choices have meaningful impact or are simply window dressing. The answer may require a second playthrough or a thorough reading of a detailed review. I'm not going to consider either of those until I finish my first playthrough. Seems pretty cool so far, though I'm just getting started.

Are you still in the tutorial area? It should only take about an hour to get out of there. I enjoyed it quite a bit once I took back city hall and started exploring the whole New York area.
