You got VR Chunk?losCHUNK wrote:Star Trek Bridge Crew and Resi 7
This VR shit is really sommat else
Oculus or Vive?
Bridge Crew is great, but the real standouts for me so far have been Superhot VR and Lone Echo. And for group play, while Bridge Crew is pretty funny (at times it's more Thunderbirds than Trek), Rec Room is ace.
Ooo, and Thumper's pretty damn cool in VR too.

I feel it's riding too much on the artstyle than anything else.xer0s wrote:Anyone into this Cuphead hype?
Re: So, what games are you playing now?
I’m feeling the same. The art does look great, and I love the 30s vibe, but the gameplay looks like every other shooter of this genre...

Re: So, what games are you playing now?

It's brilliant...fucking difficult though. Not one for the kids despite the cartoony looks. Requires many of the skills.Memphis wrote: ditto. the whole aesthetic doesn't seem to have any considered point to any of it, bar want of bouncy olde-timey cartoon looky-likeyness, with big goofy grins on everything and a screen distortion filter.
why is his head being cup even a thing, when he just shoots lasers from his fingers? hardly Dynamite Heady, or Decap Attack character design is it

Re: So, what games are you playing now?

It's good fun, quite hard and looks brilliant; it's has a unique visual appeal, just as many other games before it has had. I don't know anything about the journo not being able to complete the tutorial...I actually don't know how you can fail it. But it's good that you have such a strong and warranted opinion of it based off...absolutely nothing.
Come back to me once you've bothered to play it (just like Overwatch). Until then your opinion on the game means nothing.
Re: So, what games are you playing now?
Yeah. Be wary though that this is not a hold-your-hand kind of rpg and you *can* fuck up entire questlines by pissing off the wrong people.xer0s wrote:Divinity local coop looks cool. You can play together or just go off and do your own thing. It’s one screen when you’re close to each other, then it’ll automatically split when you walk away from each other...
So 'do your own thing' comes with a certain responsibility

Just obliterated the last percent of the game.Mat Linnett wrote:I personally think Bioshock 2's the best in the series. And that's without having played the Minerva's Den DLC, which is apparently even better than the main game.
Ehhhh not sure if I liked it as much. tbh I couldn't give a fuck about Eleanor, and being told that I must get back to her asap even though there was no direct reason for me to so - do as a player I mean - didn't help either.
Re: So, what games are you playing now?
Finally finished Mirror's Edge Catalyst and Rise of the Tomb Raider, started Deus Ex Mankind Divided.
Games just don't feel as much fun as they used to for me

I didn’t realize this was a turn-based RPG until we started playing. It’s the first turn-based RPG I’ve played, so it’s a little slow to say the least. Does the action pick up once you gain levels? Is there not a way to pick your attack before it’s your turn? It seems like that would speed things up a bit if you could already be ready to go when your turn comes...
Re: So, what games are you playing now?
got Just Cause 3 the better version for PC but for some reason just dont feel the excitement of playing
it's not a number cruncher like PoE, maybe that's why, and i'm old ?
back to PoE

Re: So, what games are you playing now?
It was definitely a step down from the previous one. Not a fan of the new character at all tbh, she has no personality or attitude. Gameplay was pretty glitchy and enemies got boring. I'll take big, scary beasts and mythological creatures over a bunch of generic mercenaries anytime. Croft Manor DLC brought back some nostalgia but it was far too small and enclosed. It was way better in Legend & Anniversary, but then again those games were pretty superior to these ones.Memphis wrote:to be fair, Rise was pretty shit.Captain Mazda wrote: Games just don't feel as much fun as they used to for me
Also there seems to be an alarming trend of games making underwater sections safe and relaxing. I remember in classic Tomb Raiders you'd be afraid of jumping in the murky water because you just knew there was something in there that would eat you. This was a big issue for me with Skyrim too and Witcher 3 is disappointingly similar.

Maybe it's just me, but I hadn't heard of it until I saw it mentioned in this threadMemphis wrote:The entire thing just reeks of overhypedness

Seeing how the battlefield can change on each turn, no that's not possible (nor preferable).xer0s wrote: I didn’t realize this was a turn-based RPG until we started playing.

Battles are a game on it's own and get extremely brutal. Encountering two measly skeletons can still go awry if careless. The upside is that every win really feels like an accomplishment.

There's more to this game than grinding enemies for XP. Better yet I think you can get more XP by doing noncombat quests, at least in the first few areas. Noncombat does not mean fetch quests or anything you don't need your characters skills for btw. For instance the boatfire can be solves by using a Rain spell if you have it. Or just let the thing burn and open up a whole new set of quests that way.
Re: So, what games are you playing now?
Shit, I saw the fire and didn’t think to do anything. I’ll have to go back and see what happened.
I’m sure I’ll get used to the combat. It just feels slow because I’m new to it...

Re: So, what games are you playing now?
To be honest, the introductory town in DOS is notoriously slow and badly paced in regards to how it dishes out XP. It gets significantly better after that. But I can see the start putting a lot of people off.
The second game's got a much better first act, but it definitely has its own problems. Not least of which is the stupid stat inflation later on in the game making gear only good for one level at best.
To be honest, I'm getting more and more behind the idea of traditional levels being a bad thing for RPGs. Take out the dramatic damage and hitpoint increases per level and just expand the options available to players on level-up instead, and I think you'll have a much better system than in most RPGs.

'Bounded accuracy' is what the latest edition of D&D calls it ^
[edit] or should I say <Furthermore, gaining levels grants the characters new capabilities, which go much farther toward making your character feel different than simple numerical increases.
Re: So, what games are you playing now?
I'm going to try D3. Hook me up with gamertags ppl

Re: So, what games are you playing now?
Dark Souls is great, I've enjoyed every one. Really sad they aren't making any more.
I've been playing Fortnite lately, what a fun little game. The battle Royal mode is awesome, 100 people on fairly large island and last one alive wins. It's a lot of fun and free on xbox anyway.

Re: So, what games are you playing now?
is it as salty and elitist as pubg?
Re: So, what games are you playing now?
There's no chat lol so probably not. They're quick games though. Hit me up if you get it so I can try a team game.
Re: So, what games are you playing now?
Yeah sounds like dark souls. I want more of that. Except the dying part. Git gud scrub.
