marelooke Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Still playing mostly Dragon Dogma Dark Arisen. I've recently hit lvl50 and maxed out 3 vocations so far (all the figher ones, working on Sorceror now) Noticed The Division on sale but from what I hear it doesn't compare favorably to Warframe, which if F2P. Unless you really want an open world I guess. It'd need some killer features to convince me to spend cash on it and I'm not seeing it so far. Also thanks melkathi for reminding me of Ghost of a Tale, I totally forgot I had a key sitting in my mailbox...whoops... EDIT: typos...

mkreku Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I bought The Division after all (thanks for the answers, guys) and it's definitely been worth $34 so far. I'm up to level 16-17 right now and having a blast. It actually runs great on my aging 290X and it's so pretty! I didn't get along with it at all in the beginning. It felt way too MMORPG-ish where I was expecting a more realistic Borderlands. But I persevered and it all started making sense. I still haven't entered the PvP parts (where I hear the problems are stemming from) but even if I don't enter that part at all I feel I'm getting my money's worth. 20 hours in and looking at probably 40 hours before I'm done with the single player part. 1 Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Labadal Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 My GPU died so it's time to play lots of portable and console games. Trying to mop up everything in Yakuza 4. Currently at 65% completion. I could just go for the final story mission but I will try to at least get to 80% completion before I do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknoman2 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 in the end i had to save scum my way through that place in DS2 and of course it took me 50 attempts at the boss before i managed to kill one tiger and be one on one with the other. and the only reward for all that effort was the boss soul. trolling at it's finest The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

HoonDing Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Ubisoft should've make Elise playable rather than focus on the co-op crap.At least they got the memo in Syndicate. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katphood Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Playing some Shadow Warrior on the PS4. A damn fine looking game and the gameplay just feel wild and frantic but also challenging. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for an old-school shooter. Shadow Warrior 2 is also on its way and I am pretty excited for that. Flying Wild Hog is shaping up to be a pretty awesome studio. I prefer to be antisocial. Games don't seem to cater to me anymore. Me too, I bought Destiny at launch and had fun with it until I reached the point where I stumbled upon the games only raid that needed co-op but didn't offer any match-making(unlike the strikes and the multiplayer. Seriously, Bungie...wtf?!). The updates also made my hard-earned weapons feel useless so I just gave up. If I ever jump into an MMO(or an MMO hybrid game like Destiny) again it will be either The Secret World or nothing at all. WildStar also briefly caught my attention but apparently the game becomes boring after a while.

I don't enjoy raiding, and every other game type (PvP) either requires raid gear or has its own treadmill. If something with player built economies shows up (where players/crafters build the gear) then I will give it a go. EG - Something akin to UO or SWG with a facelift. Also, instanced PvP should never be the only PvP. Admittedly, I'm an old school "red is dead" UO player.

At least for the economy part (and the "no instanced PvP", I guess) Anyway, besides Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen I've mostly been on a Warframe binge (with some ESO on the side). It's one of the things I really like about the game, while it's a grindy game in it's very nature you never "get behind" when you just don't feel like playing for a while. (and since they tend to send out emails when events occur that's usually a good moment to jump back into it for me). Usually when I get "back" after doing other stuff for a while I got a load of new content to play with, which is cool. A few more months and I'll hit the three year mark, barring WoW I don't think any online game has ever managed to keep my attention that long. But hey, murdering hordes of enemies hardly ever gets old... I also checked out Ghost of a Tale, looking good, hope they do something about the camera for non-controller users (the camera has "pull", for lack of a better way to describe it), not gonna spoil too much before the final release though Edited July 30, 2016 by marelooke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melkathi Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Agreed on the Ghost of a Tale camera issue. Had to plug in the controller to play.

GhostofAnakin Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 ^^That's another one of my peeves about Destiny. It forces you to play co-op in a lot of the activities, but does not provide for you an actual match making system to find people to play with. The Raids, for instance. I wouldn't mind tackling those. But I don't have more than 1 friend who actually plays Destiny. It would have been nice to have match making so I could find some randoms to do stuff with. On a separate note, I think I actually preferred Mars War Logs to Technomancer. I don't know why exactly, but the story drew me in more.

So there shouldn't be spoilers, just a cliffhanger as you can't go on playing after a point. 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Vaeliorin Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Wildstar also has one of the worst UI's I've ever seen.Also terrible combat mechanics. It's like they joined the worst of old school MMO combat with the worst of action MMO combat. I honestly have no idea how people ever thought it was going to be a WoW killer (although I guess every big name western MMO gets called a WoW killer.)

Ganrich Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I played Eve for a while. It has some design decisions that hurt it in my eyes. I'm not knocking it, but I can't play it anymore.

Mamoulian War Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 After almost two years, I have booted up Tales of Xillia 2 again, and decided to do some Titles for trophies and some crafting, so I would be better at the Post Game Dungeon boss fights.

Sannom Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I just completed The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, a german point & click adventure game. A much better game that its predecessor, even if a lot buggier. The story and stakes are a lot more interesting (especially early on), the big villain is more devious than he was before, the visuals are better, Ivo's clothing is nicer (by that I mean that she's wearing a dress, not a bikini), Tin Lizzy is funny and badass, Wilbur is adorable and awesome, Ivo is pregnant and awesome and Nate's alternative costume is hilarious and a real surprise. My only gripe is this : I do not like Nate Bonnet. By extension, I hate that romance they're shoehorned in between Ivo and him. Hate it. What were they thinking?
