What Games Are You Playing? [3]

[Phill3990]

Gave in and bought Dying Light, damn its a fun game. Should keep me entertained until Battlefield: Hardline and PS4's remastered Darksouls II. I am praying that Bethesda has some new games on horizon (Fallout 4....roll on E3)

I've got Dying Light myself. I've messed around with it a bit and it's very cool. It's a lot like Dead Island with a slightly more serious tone to it.

I've had it for a while now, but I've not gotten very far into it because I'm waiting for better Oculus Rift optimization. It's very cool in VR right now, but needs a lot of optimizations. Menus are hard to read, text is very small, and using menus is a pain using the HMD. The scale is slightly off, furniture and objects seem slightly too small when the people are scaled correctly. That's not a huge deal, but it is noticeable when playing. Exploring the game world and fighting Zombies is amazing using the Rift though.

Once they fix the issues with the menus and such, I'll be spending quite a few hours running about the world. Until then, I'm holding off and playing other games.

Started playing Shadow of Mordor + HD Content it's just AMAZING

Somebody modded Jedi Academy to be first person and run on the Oculus Rift. That's eaten up my entire day.

Very cool game for VR. Looking forward to a proper Star Wars title that is made for VR.

I've already got a demo that lets you explore the bridge of a Star Destroyer and another that lets you fly an X-wing in the Battle of Endor. Now I get to be a Jedi.

My inner child still hasn't recovered from my massive Nerdgazm.

From what it seems, Fallout 4 may be Spring 2016.

Doesn't change the fact they can just shut up and take my money though. LOVED all the Fallout games so its a must buy for me in the future.


I've been playing Resident Evil Revelations 2. It's fun so far, but Im not to far into it. Just don't expect the classic, slow gameplay. It is a bit more of a action/horror game, and plays a lot like RE5 but much better controls.
or at least thats first impressions.

But, I do like it so far.
Not sure what everyones stance on RE and the way its progressed but heres my take.
I love the old Resident Evil games and they are my favorite by far. RE1 re-mastered on Ps4 was a must buy for me because of this.
I know newer versions get alot of hate so I was probably one of the few that enjoyed 5, even though it strayed from the classic style. I HATED 6 though. Never even finished it.


I've also been playing the Atelier Games, trying for 100% complete on all of them. Sorry, love my JRPGs LOL.

I am of the same mind the second its announced its getting pre-ordered. I have every fallout game on my PC they are my favorite games (Except the Zelda series). I hope they make it ultra-epic for making us wait so long for a confirmation they are making it.

Well I just go back to Fallout 3, but count me in for FO4

TitanFall. Such a fun game. Sold my 360 a whole ago, but now I have it for PC. Looks way better on my PC.

I just finished playing Dying Light. An Incredible game. To me, it's like Dead Island, only with more polish and a better story.
I'm about to move back to Dragon Age: Inquisition.
But, I've also been messing around with the new Resident Evil HD remake. As well as the new DBZ:Xenoverse(total childhood nerdgasm, i'm 30 now, lol)
I play shadow of mordor from time to time, don't get me wrong, the graphics are fantastic and my framerate is top notch, but the missions are so repetitive that it get's old. That's why I loved Dying Light, you never really knew what you were going to be up against at any given moment and you better hope your weapon doesn't break with 20 zombies around. You can still play the side missions once you beat the main story, but it's kind of lost it's pep in my eyes, especially when I one hit most zombies and I can take out those hammer swinging guys in about 3 hits, the charging roid rage guys in about 6 or so, and this is with a one handed weapon, does about 460ish damage.

I've got Battlefield:Hardline on preorder, so I'm hoping it's going to live up to the hype when it releases in a few weeks.

I'll have to check out dying light

Dude, you will not regret it at all.
I won't lie, it has some graphics issues depending on how high you turn them up. I ran it with everything maxxed out and it would have some issues outside. Although, I think it might have something to do with the 3.5gb vram cap scandal with the 970's. It runs great on my laptop with medium settings and it only has a 2gb gtx 660m. It's very addictive...I highly recommend you upgrading your backpack early on. Not so much for carrying extra weapons, but for picking them up and selling so you can buy some better ones. Also, try to grind and get the grappling hook asap. It makes a night and day difference when it comes to getting around/escaping in the night.

Still playing Thief.. paused playing Shadow of Mordor as my A$$ was getting whooped in it by captains in it

 

[andrew129260]

To me, thief was a crappy game.

Yea.
I tried really hard to like it. I really did.
In the end I just couldn't

 

[andrew129260]

It just seemed entirely pointless. Like the order. Steal this stuff, do this. The game had no direction or clear motive to do anything.

The combat was also weak.

In it's defense, the combat is supposed to be weak. You're not supposed to get caught and aren't supposed to be powerful enough to take the guards when you do.

Though yeah, it was awful compared to the other games.

I just finished Dying Light as well. Fantastic game. I have to agree finishing a couple side quests, but yeah I can beat the Zombies pretty easy now.

True, point taken. Although the stealth element that was utilized was ridiculous. When you play a stealth game, your supposed to feel the rush of not being seen.

Instead it was just boring and annoying. It just wasn't fun, which is the whole point of playing a game.
