Lacking any real midgame or diplomacy. Not a lot to distinguish factions, either. Needs a lot of work

its cool making your own faction and all but real shit endless space is still better

By DY_nasty Go To Postits cool making your own faction and all but real shit endless space is still better

Opening game is good.. but I am starting to feel that.. reinstalling Endless Legend as I type

Endless Legend is a great call. There's a game with legit differences in mechanics and strategy depending on what faction you play as

what is your steam name

Got into UC4 this morning....looks good...slower pace...can tell they leveled up after TLOU. When do I actually get to "play" tho...

Put a couple more hours into Witcher 3. Got more quests than I know what to do with. Keep saying it, but these graphics..whew. Coming from the cinematic frame rate of UC4, it's smooth af.

Fuck the bullshit I'm finna see what's good myself going into bestbuy to scope these screens

Thinking about the oled

Tried playing Gears 3 again.. I don't know how I ever used a controller. I had a 2.8 K/D but now I barely even get 2 kills in a game.

On the bright side, I look like I could go pro compared to Polygon Doom Guy

Thinking about the oled

i copped an OLED today and they should rename it do DAMN.

Honestly.... The Samsung ks 8000 looked fucking amazing to me. The oled too but the KS wasn't lacking anything to me, and represented more value.

Not as hyped about premium tax on oled anymore. These new LEDs are really something else.

Uncharted 4 is a good movie

Did you beat it?

we got a thread for that game.

Just be sure to look up reviews before you buy anything so you don't get hit with a monitor that has terrible input lag. It is not something typically found on the box. If you get a laggy one, games won't feel right and it will be hard to put your finger on why.

turn outs my hotel tv will only put up with my ps4 if i run at 480p or something....

i know there's ways around this

By Smokey Go To PostPut a couple more hours into Witcher 3. Got more quests than I know what to do with

Yeah you don't have to do them all, just take on the ones that sound interesting to you!

but the (good) problem with TW3 is that some quests sound deceptively simple/boring on text. I love it when you're sent to retrieve a sheep and then you fall into a rabbit hole of something else entirely

I've been playing hours of Witcher 3 not knowing that meditation restored potions and bombs. I'm playing on hard and it said meditation doesn't restore health as if you were playing on normal.

ffs this changes everything

yeah as soon as I read that I switched back to normal.

even though I almost always play everything on hard. I just can't be arsed to look for food and shit

took me like 90 hours to realize that I didn't like Witcher 3.

I still have played five minutes of that game

Just not long for it anymore

By Yurt Go To Postyeah as soon as I read that I switched back to normal.

I'm finding lots of water and meat in the world, so that's not that big of a deal to me. And since I started it on hard, that's all I really know atm. I also have tons of alcohol and I didn't really know what it was for, but now it's clear.

W3 has basically become my weekend game at the moment. There's just a ton of stuff to do, and that lines up well with me for the Sat/Sun mornings I'm up with my son. He wakes up, I feed him, and then I have a big block of time to game on whatever.

how do u put 90 hours into a game and not like it?

BUT DY PAPANGUS

I got a new Logitech g600 to replace the old g600 that I've worn down over the past 4-5 years.

It seems Logitech changed the design and the new design... sucks. The g-shift key works like half time time and that key is vital to playing a game like Guild Wars 2. I ended up returning it and sticking with the older model I had. Not sure what I'm going to do once it fully wears out.

Finally beat UC3.

Liked it quite a lot, even if it hews far too closely to the UC2 blueprint story wise. Some gun battles toward the end were also very obtuse IMO. Too many obscure platforms where guys with RPGs and grenade launchers could hide.

And I will say I'm glad there isn't a boss battle like the end of 2.

Starting 4 hopefully today.

Just got to Chapter 17 in Cyber Sleuth. This fucker Arata, I swear to god

Anybody here play tabletop rpgs?

I played one for the first time last week called Dead of Winter. It's a zombie survival game. It was fun, but a bit of a headache and it ran a little long because it was my first time playing it. It's both competitive and cooperative because it has an element to it where there's a one in three chance that someone can secretly be designated as a betrayer to the group.

I loved pen n paper RPGs when I was in high school... kinda miss them

By data Go To Postyall are worse than the other place about 'there's a thread for that'ing

just psych tbh

Me! Haven't heard of that one, but it sounds like the Battlestar Gallactica board game. I am currently in two traditional tabletop RPG campaigns.

One is a D&D 4e campaign (that I may try to push the group to switch to Strike! if we get to the point where there are too many modifiers to keep track of). We meet 1-2 times a month to shoot the shit, eat, and murder goblins or whatever. Not much RP but the GM and I are trying to encourage the rest of the group to pick it up in that aspect. Most in this group just really like crunch and tactical combat (some used to play tabletop wargames).

The other campaign is a mixed-splat game in the Chronicles of Darkness universe (rebranded from New World of Darkness after Paradox bought White Wolf). This is one of my favorites I have played in. Very little combat (once every four-to-five sessions). Takes place in a made-up town that has the different supernatural "races" (Vampire, Werewolf, Mage) trying to hold on to their territory. The group are members of a council that try to keep the peace between the factions as well as investigating and handling any unusual things that pop-up in town. We try to meet 3-4 times a month for this one.

The CofD campaign we also started audio recording a few months ago (and even have a couple parts up on youtube, if anyone is at all interested). That part is pretty fun since it's new to all of us. Bought the equipment while everywhere still had their post-Christmas sales going, so it wasn't too expensive to get started, either. I basically took the role of recording engineer. I level everyone's mics before the session, setup the recording, adjust as needed, etc. It's had the effect of making me more critical of the sound guys when I go listen to live concerts, lol.

This is all super nerdy, but whatevs. Have lots of fun and it's something I look forward to every weekend.

Dead of Winter is great, hate the fact that their are no Mini's though, swapped my Zombicide horde in when I bought it, plays great.

Battlestar Galactica also worth a shout if everone is on board.

Does the shotgun in Doom feel as weak as it looks?

Thinking of buying it after work, anyone here played it on console?

I did.

And nah, but you do get a much more powerful shotgun later on.

Does it control well?

All the podcasts I listen to are going on about the graphics, with no mention of whether gamepad controls can keep up with the speed its supposed to be played at

Wonder if there's a bit of an Amy Hennig situation at id, and they're better off without the likes of John Carmack

Awkward at first (especially with the shitty pistol) but you'll get into the rhythm of things in no time.
