Thread for Gamers VIII: Revenge of the Sh**

[Licana]

I fucking love xcom 2

Its sooo good.

And some times not soo good.

Like an hour a go, on an advent elite lancer with 1 health out of cover and flanked by near my entire team on a defence mission, 4 colonels, a sergeant and two turrets missed him. 7 shots in a row, on a flanked enemy, with 1 health.. all missed FROM FUCKING COLONELS, the lowest chance of hitting was 60% and it ranged up to 90%.


My flag, was extremely appropriate at the time. But i won and murdered a fuck ton of lost and advent and suffered no losses, so all was good.

Meanwhile, in my game.

I couldn't have asked for a better trait selection.

I should get back on that game...I mean, I've been playing it. But I've been too busy making up backstories for my characters to do missions...my sniper is married to the sword person...

Just learnt that the first guy you can play gwent against in Witcher 3 can be found hung from a tree in Velen after the prologue and you can loot his unique card off him if you didnt beat him.

Fucking rip that guy, but hey free card.

I haven't played a single round of Gwent. Might during my next playthrough, though.

I was fucking terrible at it, lost like near every match

and I have two templars, one of which had bladestorm as a sgt level XCOM perk. The character RNG has been exceptionally kind to me in this playthrough.

Meanwhile, I'm making Shodan, Pinkie Pie, Deadpool and, Gordon Freeman kill all of advent.

Dark Eater Midir in Dark Souls 3 can be theoretically killed in under 2 hours from the start of the game if you do all the skips properly. I don't know how I feel about that.

Got Dead Space and Dead Space 2 for fifteen quid on Steam, solid games, not played them in a while, and seeing Many a True Nerd play the first one recently got me in the mood for them again.

So.....anyone else notice that games are becoming less.....fun?
Not the old ones of course but this new crap.
Ive seen some many game trailers and non of them have made me go "Yesssssss!!"
Not even games like Assassin creed Origins(they just lost what it meant to be an assassin). It not because I'm getting bored of them the games themselves just suck.
They(gaming industries) need to get back to basics.

15 years from now on, today's games will be considered "fun".

Well I kinda miss the level concept....now its all open world.
I also think games are forgetting graphics don't make a game.

Gamer who won't buy games if there aren't Multiplayer or Achievements are kicking their own ass, mind you i really laugh at the posts of No Achievements won't buy or Put in Achievements then I'll buy.

Not gonna lie: I do that. I've become an achievement whore.

I'm sure people can recommend plenty of games with levels. I don't own any new releases; the most recent is probably Dishonored 2, but that has levels.

I don't believe any developers have forgotten that.

Killed the Chosen warlock, thats all three of them dead in my current game. Thought the Assassin was the most challenging, her hit and run attacks were devastating. I'd place the warlock at second, his pisonic zombies were a pain and he could be quite deadly when he was moving about and no longer stationary. The hunter was a bit more manageable as long as i did not let him set up shop, thought he was the easiest.

Overall i really enjoyed fighting them, thought there were a great addition to the game.


The spectres though can suck a dick, hate those things.

Mario Odyssey, for one.
It’s “open world” in the same that that Mario 64 is “open world.”
So it’s not open world.

This is why I like Nintendo. They put time and effort into their games.

Exactly. Gameplay is MUCH more important than graphics. I would rather play the original Contra, from the '80s, than the latest CoD. Stupid EA and Activision.

This is me right now.

Last year, there were only two games I found remotely interesting: Nier and Horizon. Horizon was the only game I bought last year (I also went through DDLC, but I digress)

Nothing this year is particularly interesting to me. I also blame my growing cynicism and disgust with AAA Gaming.

Are you talking about the unending stream of CoD clones?

[Abserdia]

I’ve been seeing way fewer uninspired first person shooters recently, so I have no clue what you guys are talking about. There’s CoD:WW2, sure, but I feel like the genre is getting better, if a bit... Overwatch-y.

[Imperial isa]

Oh Skyrim SE just as unstable as old one.

So it crashed as it loads up my last save after i fucked up and got killed by a asshole shooting lightning at me,so got do all that work again.

Yeah 2012 wants its FPS criticisms back.

NieR I've never played, but it looks kinda weird... And lots of positive reviews.
If you want some kind of dungeon game, I recommend Slay the Spire, it's very fun, if bit Hearthstoney.
DDLC was good in my opinion because it was an unique take on the visual novel concept.
EDIT: Subnautica is good as well.
