Tried the prologue of Total War Attila today. Game runs like a brick.

musical chairs in VRChat with 2 bottles of wine inside me at 4am

gave warframe a go the last few weeks. good game for free but it got very repetitive pretty fast. the lack of a proper end game puts me off as well.

downloading madden 19 right now.

I have had all the Borderlands for a long while but needed the DLC for Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel to make them complete and bought the DLC last week so playing Borderlands 2 the last few days.

Yeah im with you, amazing game but endgame being fashion frame turned me off.
Thankfully Destiny 2 has a good endgame now, im back at it and enjoying it a lot.
Also playing a bit of diablo 3 and path of exile.
Assetto Corsa Competizione early access released a fee days ago so ive been messing about with that a bit too.

Polybridge is on sale for about 3 quid so I decided to get it. Heard about it somewhere - maybe a podcast.

You build bridges across bodies of water and they have to stand up to the stresses of whatever is passing over them, while trying to spend as little as possible and have the bridge be as stable as possible (and there's a global top score to compare your performance).

It feels less gamey and it's harder to fudge the results than something like Besiege.

Its soundtrack is really soothing acoustic guitar music. It sounds a little like an instrumental version of the Shins.

It's both addictive and relaxing. If you like puzzle games, you can't go wrong with it. Certainly not for under a fiver.

All of the No Man's Sky.

Picked up Armello cause some friends are playing a good bit of it on multiplayer, looks like a lot of fun.

Sank rather a few hours into Borderlands 2 back in the day. I'm well jealous, to be honest.

Still waiting on more verdicts of the new Tomb Raider, so I'm playing some of the old ones instead.

Tomb Raider: Underworld (2008)

Glebee · 27-09-2018 09:40PM

Giving Destiny 2 another go with the recent Forsaken DLC.

Playing through the first and second DLC that dropped earlier in the year at the moment.
Finished story mode of Curse of Osiris and its not great, Warmnd is alot better.

Whatever you say about Destiny 2. its a very decent FPS.

Dcully · 28-09-2018 10:14AM

Also no lifing Destiny2 on PC, what a difference a year makes.
Atlast it now has a massive amount of endgame content.
The core game and gameplay was always special but now with a real endgame its just as bungie say themselves like a hobby now.
Close to the best looking game ive ever played too and runs like a dream even on my old rig.

good to hear. I might give it a go.

League of Legends, I think it's my favorite game right now. Since I found eSport platform here https://dreamteam.gg/lol/teams I can take part in different tournaments and create my own team. It's easy to find other players. Moreover good way to improve gaming skills.

I always get triggered by them flipping elitist toxic idiots who seem to forget that it's a f**king computer game, and go telling you to "get cancer", "go away and die", etc etc etc. And that's just normal draft. It's for that very reason I've always refused to play ranked. Scale of 1 to 10, I'd say I'm maybe 7 at my best roles, possibly even higher for some (depending on champ too). Support is my main, followed by jungle, mid and top I try to avoid and then ADC only if I have to.

All these "troll supports" though trigger me as well. Playing any champ for support and not even warding or buying only straight damage items.

eyerer · 04-10-2018 11:44PM

Forza Horizon 4. I had a couple of issues yesterday when I installed it but I played it today and everything is smooth now.
I have put on the Ultra graphics preset and 8x MSAA and it's running perfect on my GTX 1060 6GB at 1080p. Happy with that, plus it's been fun so far.

Remouad · 05-10-2018 10:07AM

Sleeping Dogs.
Really enjoying the story.
Also its open world is just the right size for me.

Best not to play if you get annoyed. It's a spiral.

I played from 2011 - 2016. Eventually gave it up as it is waaay too time consuming and i was going ape over idiots. Best to live a happy life than let a game annoy you

Get an itch every now and again but at this stage, I'd have to relearn the whole thing! Definitely not worth it :pac:

Some people just don't get that there are actually people who just want to play for fun. Oh how I wish they'd release URF permanently! Proper URF with bans, not that ARURF sh@te!

Ozymandius2011 · 20-10-2018 02:08PM

Yesterday I played Assassins Creed Unity on PC after a long absence due to modding ETW. In this mission I have to get to Notre Dame Cathedral and assassinate Siward. I dropped smoke bombs so Siwards entourage wouldnt see me, and I then I dropped down. Unfortunately I died in the mission and Siward did not.

Remouad · 30-10-2018 10:55AM

So I finished Sleeping Dogs (bar picking up the last few collectables)

Highly recommend if you haven't played.
Brilliant story and open world that's not too big.

DLC included in definitive edition is good if a little short.
Zodiac Tournament in particular is awesome. It's in the style of a 70's Kung Fu movie.

Actually took me a little while to get used to the cars driving on the left hand side of the road

On to Guacamelee next.
Only played a little of it but definitely feels like it would be perfect on a handheld.

Think I remember Totalbiscuit saying that some of the DLC gives you so much money that the game becomes very easy.

Never had to think about money through the whole game.

Only reason you need it is to buy clothes and cars and you only need to do that if you want to get the achievement for buying all of both.

Burnt out from Destiny 2 and unsubbed from Warcrat im sort of between games at the moment, dont know what to tackle next. Oh I wish Red dead Redemption 2 was out on PC.
Just started Child of Light again, will see it out to the end this time.

Have they fixed the issues with stats being reset in bo4? Was thinking of getting it.

Dcully · 07-11-2018 10:05AM

Havent had that myself at all.

Glebee · 07-11-2018 04:37PM

Redownloaded Fallout 4 to give it another try but only lasted 5 minutes before I realized again why I hate this fcuking game. Uninstalled. Thats it never again. Want to like it but it just annoys me so much for some reason.

Kiith · 07-11-2018 04:47PM

I've tried it a bunch of times in the last year or so, and i usually get an hour or so into it before quitting. I spend more time modding it than playing it.

Sciprio · 07-11-2018 09:12PM

I played a bit of Bioshock 1 remastered and while i know they're great games i only play about 30 minutes before switching it off again. The ones that can really hold my atttention nowadays are build/survival and others like Rimworld.
