    FarCry3 - trying to get complete it before FarCry4!

    Quora - indie side scrolling 2D exploration game, great story & setting but generally moving around feels clunky which can get frustrating.

    Minecraft - always. Building.

    X-com; Enemy within - Enemy Unknown was amazing so started getting involved in this.

    WoW - pre Xpac stuff.

    Civ 5 - plodding on with my 1000+ turn world war.

    Ridiculous Fishing - this game is amazing. I just wish it was longer!


    Suddenly realised why I always feel like I have no time...

    Are you on PC? Haven't really gave it much thought on PS4, tho jesus the camera is close to this guy sometimes and the aiming zooms way passed the player model to almost a quasi-first person view. Wish it was pulled back just a bit.


    I know... it's like, what the fuck were they thinking? lmao


    I tried to force through it tho, and I'm glad I did. I'm 9 hours in, and fuck this game has a lot of creativity and originality being thrown at you at all times. It's not without it's issues but damn the game designers keep throwing awesome shit at you in every single level so far.


    Oh and I got it for PS4 after hearing some people complaining about perf issues on PC, and my home PC is getting kinda dated now. You get used to the low FoV after a while, I know it's a "by design" decision, a really bad one, but whatever...

    I heard that the levels are really closed and that insivle walls are everywhere, that there're not so much leeway than they announced. Is that true?


    Btw, I'm playing Forza Horizon 2 these days. This is truely an excellent racing game. The gameplay is great, the environments are wonderful, and the multiplayer game is really really fun. May be my GOTY!

    Yeah but none of those things are bad or detract from the game. And there are lots of open playground-like areas similar to RE4.

    The game is really similar to RE4 on is gameplay mecanics + some stuff from Last Of Us and a more creepy horror layer. Good game for me, It litterally killed my Hard disk D:

    I've been playing Bayonneta 2 for 25 minutes. I've already kicked a jet off course, surfed it fighting horse angels, had my partner ride sideways up a building to deliver me blue guns, fought an angel snake, had a fan service fight with Jeanne on a train, grown wings to fight a renegade hair demon wrapped around a skyscraper, and then eaten him with a hair spider. I think I will like this game.

    Hearthstone is similar to league of legends in that I feel bad after playing it. Also I spent 60$ so far on it. They really managed to work me on this game :X

    I installed Homefront and played couple hours.

    Weapon feeling is just decent, but I think the environment and mood are pretty good and immersive.

    Started playing Door Kickers again now that it has been released. Having fun! Also found a nifty sound mod which has incredibly raw and hectic sound effects. Warning, not for everyone.

    Yeah I played Homefront a couple months ago, I enjoyed it. Some of the levels were pretty cool, such as the one where you have to quietly sneak through that enemy camp, or the football stadium and hiding among the dead and then getting blasted off that wall. Quite a cool game, although it's not that long and no deeper than other fps's like cod.

    Actually, since I just posted this on func maybe I should post here as well, in case anyone finds it interesting.


    I'm currently playing through everything from 2011 worth playing. I won't move on to anything beyond that till 2011 is done. Here's my list of remaining games to play. What's missing I've already played, mostly the lower rated stuff. Some good stuff in there, especially some epic rpgs I can't wait for (divinity, rage, dragons age 2, witcher 2, deus ex, skyrim... damn what a year). Ordered by metacritic's rating.

    Alice: Madness Returns - 76%
    Rage - 79% [steamworks]

    Batman: Arkham City - 91%
    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 94% (rpg) [steamworks]
    Portal 2 - 95% [steamworks]


    Here's the last 3 I played...


    Hydrophobia Prophecy - 6.0. Cheap indie game, pretty good but only 3 hours long.

    Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad - 5/10 complete trash, dont' how this has a 76% aggregate. You play most levels 4 times over, mostly defence-style at that. Gave up on easy because I got stuck on 1 level that become very hard, but for most of the game you can pretty much just stand around waiting for timers to run out since you never seem to die unless the game decides you can die on this round.

    Fable III - 7.5. Not bad, but I was expecting a bit better. Nice scenery and all that. Way too easy for an RPG though. By the time I got to double-magic-spells I was just standing still and charging the alt-magic-attack. Just kills everything and you hardly need to move. Think I used 1 health pack in the whole game. Also RPG elements are pretty basic - I collected 2 weapons the entire game, 1 extra gun, and 3-4 magic upgrades. But guns/melee are irrelevant with the overpowered magic attachs. Treasure chests were full of junk, money was irrelevant because there were really no shops. Worst thing was the character interaction, the most awkward, childish shit I've ever seen in a game. However I did enjoy about 2/3rds through when you leave the main island, it gets a bit more exciting exploring Aurora, meeting black slime dude, and there's a few good side quests. "The Game" side quest must be one of the best side quests in any game ever.

    Did you just call RO2 shit? Sounds like you are playing a MULTIPLAYER game single player. GTFO.

    RO2 trash? Playing it single player by the sounds? Banable offence.

    Calling Rage an RPG, especially compared with the others in your list, is like calling a crack whore a supermodel.

    Bof, actually found the sneaking mission a bad copy of COD's sniper level, everything in that game is COD, but cheaper. From halfway through I think the immersion of being a resistance soldier is lost.

    Also finding it frustrating cos I'm playing at hard straight on and enemies don't do anything special, no particular flanking or anything, just three hits and you are dead.
