What Game(s) Did You Last Get and What Are You Playing?

[Randox]

Have you tried Divinity Original Sin?

 

Apparently, that is the game to have if you liked Baldur's Gate

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to look at some proper gameplay footage to see how the game feels, but it's definitely piqued my interest.

 

007 multiplayer lives on as GoldenEye: Source, free on steam. It's a fairly faithful remake of the multiplayer side of the game, which was totally the best part (IMO). Assuming it still works (seems to be broken for me, not played it in a while).

I tried Archlord 2 for a bit the other night.

 

Its a WoW and RS clone except the whole point of the game is Player vs Player.

 

Its a full screen game so I only lvled up to 10.

Does anyone have Bloodborne yet? Should I pay the $60 now or rent it or what?

Pillars of Eternity, Basically a modernised version of BG using it's own rule set, but has similarities with D&D (limited spells per rest, for example).

Downloading it right now, I am ready for muh immersion. I loved BG1 & 2, had some fun with BG:EE, BG2:EE and IWD:EE. But I think it is time for something different. ;) but otherwise the same.

 

Still waiting on Adventure Y though.

Unreal Engine 4: Unreal Tournament and... NDA :) go DL Epic Games launcher and get involved. I bet you guys will love it. Have two invites left for Fortnite.

 

Project Genom starts testing april 10th and will be running on UE4 too :)

Started playing SH4 again. I'm still a decent shot with torpedoes, which is nice. My identification skills are as iffy as ever however. First patrol was longer and more frustrating than I would have liked (like trying to identify and target ships in 3m swells), but I walked away with I think 28,000 tonnes sunk, including a 7,000 tonne ship I ran into while coming into port to end my patrol (I have no idea what he thought he was doing there). I decided to go with the Asiatic fleet, since I like a bit of a challenge and it's less driving around, at least at first. I think I ended my patrol like two days before Manilla was lost (it's actually going to be taken when I start the next patrol, but I should be able to get out).

 

It's still a fun and even reasonably good looking game.

 

Oh, and my ship is the USS Seadragon, which is just fantastic. I will be very sad to give up that name if/when I am offered a better submarine.

Finished my first playtrhough of Dark Souls 2 yesterday. Was the first time i finished it, and i think i killed all the bosses except for 2. Was really fun, and a lot harder than i expected. Some of the bosses took quite a few attempts and i eventually had to resort to using some of the NPC summons. I'm on the second playthrough now, and this time i'm going to do everything without having to summon.

Been playing some AoE:HD lately, but i'm such a noob at it :(

Age of Empires is a great game. Do you know of anything similar? I remember playing those, except my computer was crap way back when... Ive always wanted to play it without lag. :)

 

 

I got it on sale for 5 dollars, so go keep an eye on it on steam. Similar games would probably be others in the series, like Age of Mythology but I haven't tried those. 

 

I'm loving this game though. 

[Gang Sabre]

Currently im playing Medal of Honor. I was a huge fan of the original on Playstation 1.

 

O yea AoE would seriously pwn with custom soundtracks. :D

Been seriously addicted to DS2 the past 12 days. It's really fun. In terms of lore it's kind of disappointing, but i've never really been too concerned about that. The DLC bosses are so much fun. Difficult and infuriating, but fun. Smelted Demon 2.0 actually gave me a lot of trouble. I started using Ultra Greatswords because i was getting bored of Katanas and Rapiers, so it took some time to adjust my playstyle. Fume Knight and Sir Alonne... Fume Knight is actually quite easy once you get it down. Just one or two of his attacks are really hard to dodge because of the delay on them. Sir Alonne is just super crazy cause of his speed. It's like Artorias on crack. Crown of the Old Iron King is probably my favorite DLC though. The bosses are all fun (i don't mind fighting 2 Smelters, i like him as a boss), and the actual level itself is just amazing. I was really hesitant about buying DS2 after my initial experience with it when it first came out, but i'm really happy i ended up getting it.

Last game I got was the first five fights freddy's. I didn't find it scary per se, just very stressful, a few seconds late and you're dead.

New Humble Origin Bundle, included C&C Generals + Zero Hour, been playing that.

[Gang Sabre]

Just picked up BF4 s check me out in the Battlefield thread.

[chenw]

Managed to score Shadows of Mordor for 66% off the base game and the season pass from steam.

 

The base game and the season pass are both 50% off now, but the combo is 66% off (basically making the season pass 50c if you buy the base game as well).

 

Figured I'd grab it as it would be a while before I can avail of the game at any better price.

Got KotOR and KotOR 2 on the 4th of May sale on Steam.

Haven't gotten around to playing them yet, been kept busy with my Ironman Duchy of Mercia game of CK2. So far I am the emperor of both Germania and Britannia + Holy Roman Empire, with Kingdoms of Scotland, England, Ireland, Denmark, Saxony, Germany, France, Britannia, Italy, Bohemia, Poland, Pomerania as my Viceroyalties (I own kingdoms of Wales, Great Moravia and Mercia). Almost have the whole of Middle Francia and nearly have the whole Wendish Empire. Also have half of Sweden and the whole of Iceland.

 

And I am still in 1150's.

Oh, and I just won the Crusade for Portugal as I saved last time, so I have 50 holdings in my demesne that I have to somehow divide :D

Installed Just Cause 2 and am playing it for the first time. Early days yet, but pretty sweet so far.

[Gang Sabre]

^ Sweet game, hell yea.

[Estonian dude]

Bought the Just Cause collection and Tomb Raider reboot from the Humble Store sale. Haven't gotten around to playing them yet, exam today.

[Randox]

Got the Scandinavia DLC for ETS2. My most relaxing game just got more beautiful, though I think they borked the light balance for day and night in the latest patch (too dark in the day, much too light at night, and lights are blooming excessively). It's been a lot of fun exploring the new area, though I have yet to find the waterfall I am reasonably certain exists someplace in Norway. I've seen footage of it being developed, but I either went down the wrong road or drove right past it without seeing. I'll have to find the development footage again.

[Estonian dude]

Which waterfall are you talking about?

 

And that Tomb Raider is pretty nice. And even runs pretty okay on my shitty laptop.

[Alg]

On the topic of games people mentioned a while back... Persona 4 is pretty cool so far. Seems harder than 3, in a good way. Or maybe I'm just grinding less.

[Estonian dude]

Persona 4 is epic.

 

Bought Bioshock triple pack from Humble Store. They have a massive sale going on, bought something nearly every day.

The Witcher 3 is coming out in a day or two (on Xbox One). I am so excited. Can't remember the last time i was this excited over a game. It's so hard for me to avoid gameplay on YouTube, but for once i don't want to spoil the game for myself.

[Estonian dude]

I'd [bleep]ing love to play The Witcher 3, but I don't have a piece of hardware to run it.

 

Finished with Tomb Raider, Uncharted with Lara Croft was pretty correct in retrospect.

Brütal Legend is nice. That battle system is completely different than what I expected, but I don't really mind and the gameworld and story are that much better than I expected.
