What games have you been playing lately?

I'd give Blizzard loads of money for a remake the 3 Warcraft games in their latest engine (or even a new as yet unreleased one).

I'm not arsed about WOW and it sounds like the lore has become a load of convoluted bollocks but 2 and 3, at any rate, were solid on that front and great games in their time.

I just want proper control groups, sharp modern controls and all the pretty physics and stuff.

We're well overdue a WC strategy game at this stage. The Frozen Throne was released 10 years ago last week!
If there's no WC4 on the horizon I'd certainly be happy with a modern remake of the old ones in the mean time.

As much as SC2 is the daddy of the genre and I've loved it, I'd love something a bit slower.
It's just too difficult for anyone who isn't trained in Korean forced labour camps.



Meanwhile, with all the Pokemon hysteria at the moment I was feeling left out so I downloaded an emulator and have been playing Pokemon yellow for gameboy.
There's such solid RPGs. If they started to integrate that kind of gameplay into the AR stuff you could have something truly game-changing.
Go sounds a bit shallow and I'd imagine, after the buzz dies down, it'll fizzle out pretty quickly again. As far as I can tell it barely has any gameplay.

Planetside 2
The salt must flow. The outfit I'm in is a decent but the real fun comes from us pretty much making the entire server hate us, especially VS. Paint the continent red!



Warframe
Made abomination cat/dog hybrid thing before it was patched. All I got was negative texture cat, not nearly as scary as some others'.



Alpha Protocol
Loving the VA, the story and spy plot progression. So much fun trying to get on everyone's good side. The girls get so jealous if they notice you being casual, friendly flirty or even just professionally praising other women. Game let's you be the biggest jerk spy ever. So far I'm being chaotic good as usual.

MGSV
Meh. Just log on to deploy online missions and check on the grindy stuff. Rarely actually jump into missions myself.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
On 3rd playthrough. I want to kill the dragon and set the world in ruin again, then run off into the DLC area. Nothing like fighting in the deepest, darkest and most dangerous dimensions in the known chain while leaving your home dimension in chaos. The will of the Arisen Trying to dragonforge Warrior gear to give to my pawn. I want her wearing maxed out gear. She'll be wielding a max rusted greatsword which is actually one of the best utility weapon classes since rusted at high levels causes enemies to become slowed down. Combine that with a evil looking mask and sexy thong and I'll have made the perfect partner.

The Division. Really loving it at the moment.

With no GPU I gave FTL another run. I still suck salty balls at it.

Gave Romero's new DOOM map a shot. Wow! Intense right from the get go! Challenging and fun as hell. Playing it with the music from nuDoom 2016.

Try FTL on easy without advanced edition, i beat it a few times like that then moved up

Finishing off GTA V
Re running Witcher 3 from the start to fully enjoy the expansions which i haven't played yet.

Those 2 alone will see me out for the rest of the year, never mind when NMS and Mount and Blade: Bannerlords are released :pac:

You can enable vsync from your GPU CP if you're on Windows. No need to mess with config files. I only go into configs for turning frame limits and smoothing OFF, which the GPU drivers often don't fully allow because the game is doing something client side. But the GPU drivers can always overlay their own on top.

Huh, you're right. How odd. http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Momodora:_Reverie_Under_the_Moonlight#Vertical_sync_.28Vsync.29

Only game I've come across that had that. Maybe because it's 2D and not 3D.
