What games have you been playing lately?

Fired up a new build in Dark Souls 2 SOTFS over the weekend. Never used the Black Knight Greatsword, even when I had nearly had 400 hours in vanilla Dark Souls 2, but easily becoming one of my favourite weapons.

Other than that i've been dipping in and out of Witcher 3, Alien Isolation, Darkest Dungeon and then playing some King of the Hill in Arma 3 or Wasteland in Arma 2.

Crusader Kings 2, GTAV Online (lvl 82-120 hype) and Atilla Total War.

Just finished off GTA V on my shiny new 970, now to see if Batman has been patched yet.

Just finished The Witcher 3 so now playing something a bit more mindless, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

Where to start....

Oculus Rift:
ETS2
Elite
Skyrim playthrough
Alien Isolation

Normal:
Skyrim modded
FM2012
LoL


Spoilt for choice but only so many hours in a week....

Poly Bridge, simple yet complex.

I was bored, bought Zombi on steam, it's fairly decent.

Saw that and half thinking of getting it myself. Is it Linear or can you explore a bit?

Turned on Total Annihilation: Kingdoms for the first time in years. I picked up some new hotkey commands I never knew about! The game is now much more fun that it already was for me

Also played a bit of Final Fantasy VII on Steam just to see if it was good with a gamepad. I was rather impressed. I'll wait till I have nothing else to distract me before I delve back into that gem. I can blame the reveal of the Remake back at E3 for playing this.

The tomb raider reboot. Played it about a year ago with a kbm and didn't enjoy it but using a ps4 controller makes it a different game.

Finished Wolfenstein NO this morning.

Great game. Fantastic.

Gritty, pulpy, liked the characters, the story was fun and it was fantastically put together with the world really feeling every inch of a Nazi dystopia, including the little touches like the music and all the newspaper clippings.
While the levels were linear, they abandoned the loading screen bollocks that Half-Life introduced - missions like the one on the bridge gave it a real sense of scale.

But the core mechanics were where it really shined.

The guns are amazing. Sound, look, the way they handle. Just absolutely perfect. Great pace to how you grow your arsenal as well.
The dual wielding is a surprisingly effective way to expand the capabilities - rather than giving you a silly chain gun type thing or some giant laser death cannon, they give you 6 combinations of the same gun that each handle differently - separate firing modes on each with single and dual wielding.

I really liked the admittedly quite simple RPG mechanics as well.
It really was quite handy to be able to sprint while double wielding later on in the game. That little trickle of skills, your growing health pool gave the game a nice smooth pace to it.

Definitely the best FPS I've played in a very long time. Crysis had the mechanics, Metro had the atmosphere but I'm not sure I've ever played such a complete package of a shooter.
Looking forward to the next installment or the next IP they try their hand at.

I hope the guys at id were watching.
This game took their engine and the aesthetic associated with them but put together something a lot more rounded and enjoyable than they've ever produced.

Whenever i see someone praising The New Order i have to jump in and agree, it is a damn fine game with very little wrong with it.
