What game are you wasting time on?

[The Decline]

I build a new PC recently and set up Nvidia streaming to my TV so I can console it up like a real shithead.

Why not just plug your pc directly into your tv and enjoy (mostly) lag-free gaming?

This.

Fuck streaming.

 

[Excidium II]

Might be his PC is on another room and he doesn't feel like lugging a fuckhueg tower everytime he wants to play Call of Duty Black Ops III the way it's meant to be played.

I was mulling over getting XCOM2. Then I remembered I have a huge backlog already (I *still* haven't started PS:T ) - ended up starting BG2 yet again <3

I wish I could experience PS:T for the first time again. Get on that awesomeness, man! :D

That's why you build a second mini-itx gaming htpc.

Was playing Clear Sky, but game crashes upon finding the PDA on the dead guy in the garbage with info on Fang.

Any other games that let me simulate playing around with optics?

a) It's in my office, which is the primary purpose for it. Not going to move it every time I want to play some bs on the TV.
b) Nvidia streaming works pretty much flawlessly with no framerate loss that I can tell.
c) "honey let's have a huge ugly pc tower in the living room"
d) I just spent $1000 building a PC, I'm not going to spend another $1000 on another one for the living room.

I use a Raspberry Pi 2 to stream on. $50 for that shit, and for an experience that's 95% of what I'd get by having an actual computer hooked up to the TV, I'll take that over building another one.

 

[Great Deceiver]

It's not about the framerate but rather about input latency - that shit drives me mad, even very small amounts, but if works for you, then more power to ya

 

[Ovplain]

Took a break from State of Decay, because I got a weird itch to play VTMB again. Which I'm now BALLS DEEP in!<3

Man... those fucking Nosferatu Warrens.:D HATE that place!

I just got my hands on the AGA version of Eye of the Beholder and tried it out today.

Pros:

# It has better sound and music than the native PC version.
# The fan-added automap is nice.

Cons:

# It's slow as fuck.
# I mean REALLY slow.

I will give it a more in-depth tryout later.

 

[octavius]

Hmm...I don't recall it being slow when I ran it on my old Windows XP machine.

Finished Crysis trilogy. What a ride. Sadly I didn't mashed screenshot button enough in Crysis1. Didn't played AAA shooter in years, since CoD4 in 2007, where decline and modern shooters disease started.
I didn't played it earlier even though my PC could handle it. Then someday I said to myself "fuck it, let's do this" and finished.

C1 have tough enemies (even with 1.2 patch that buffed damage) that eat ammo like candies. I swear you can put rifle barrel into chinks' head and he barely give a fuck after first burst.
On the contrary the supersoldier in $1bln nanosuit can't survive the same burst in any body part.

Crysis3 have QTE's including boss fight.
Outro movie is stupid. You character (without nanosuit) walk casualy taking inspiring speech. But then - when you started C3 you had to find people, who took suit from your bro. Thing is - you can't strip suits here like a normal clothes, you need to skin them alive, like an animals.
C2+C3 feels more like console shooter. Sprint is fueled by energy from suit, yet you run slower than normal sprint in Crysis1(!). In C1 sprint is so fast slamming into wall hurt.

And who the fuck is C.E.L.L.?? Why their boss want to kill us? I tried to ignore story because there is too many plotholes and nonsense it hurt.
Any attempt to get pieces together is exercise in futility.

NPCs are not affected by bullets or nanomachines-powered fists. You can't punch infected people, not because it's bad, devs just didn't think about it.
Voiceacting in C2+C3 is bad. I mean - worse than Deus Ex... Thank goodness potato version have voice actors from cartoons (Madagascar penguins) and even if it's bad here and here - still better than eng. same case like BG1+BG2.

Now it's time for something else - Vietcong+First Alpha and maybe try Vietcong 2 even though it's considered shit.
EDIT wow, on GOG they published Men of Valor. I wanted to play it long time ago but I feel that nowaday is too obsolete/banalshitboring.

Finished Duke Nukem Forever. I had downloaded and installed it back at release, but it would freeze during loading screen and go nowhere so I just gave up without ever starting it. Now that I've played it... The best thing I can say about it is that it made me look back on everything I wrote about HL2 and think "Hey HL2 and Episodes were not so bad after all." It literally takes every gimmick that HL2 had and does it much, much worse. The driving and physics puzzles are notable in that "how can you fuck up something that was already fucked up to begin with." They even managed to make the Devastator a wussy weapon. Truly, the only good Gearbox game seems to be Opposing Force. Well, maybe Borderlands 1 too.

And who the fuck is C.E.L.L.?? Why their boss want to kill us? I tried to ignore story because there is too many plotholes and nonsense it hurt.

Crysis story is completely retarded and gets progressively more so with every sequel. But then everything about each game also gets progressively worse. It's a great example of spiraling into decline.

I just discovered Talisman: Digital Edition on the STEAM sale..... I may never leave my house again...

It has like a bazillion expansions, and it's been free before because of that.

Finished Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, including the secret mission. This is a fantastic game and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. The level design is excellent and the game often supports multiple approaches to achieving objectives.

Over the holidays I got stuck into Commandos again. It really is SUCH a great game series. I even did some fan art of my take on an updates Commandos game set in modern times.

You make this game a reality, and I will shower you with my money.

Its a bit far from my current skillset - but I have been playing around in Unity in my spare time. If I was gonna do a hobby project I would love to do something like this.

 

[octavius]

Weird graphics. Looks like it uses more than 16 colours and is not designed for Facebook and tablets?

 

[Stabwound]

Asshole, I thought that was a real game at first.

 

[laclongquan]

Abandon Knights of the Old Republic 2. Probabbly temporary.

Get into UFO Afterlight, hardest difficulty. The game kick my ass in each mission. Thankfully, game design is based around reloads, both for finding best way (not necessary good, just good enough) and to counter savescum. For example, if you mine the first choke point, but for some reason reload, the second time's enemies may not use that chokepoint, but move to high ground to snipe and bombard my troops with grenades. Fucking alchemists are bad enough with their indirect fire of grenades, but Chief are a nightmare with their rifle while my limited personels doesnt have both skill AND equipment to countersnipe them. And let's not mention Expedition's mind controller or mind rocket fired with wild abandon, either.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Finished Duke Nukem Forever.

Did you also play the DLC?

 

[Sceptic]

Did you also play the DLC?

I'm not THAT masochistic.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

OK, but I suggest reconsidering. The Dr. Proton DLC campaign at least was funny at times, which is more than can be said for the main campaign of DNF.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Or you mean this DNF?

Better than Gearbox shit, based on trailers.

Asshole, I thought that was a real game at first.

You couldn't play it on sofa with pad so why bother.
