Title: What are people getting some of ?
Post by: Black Heart on June 14, 2014, 11:57:41 am
I am bored.
BF4 has lost its charm, hardline looks unappealing.
I am waiting for Elite:dangerous, and Star citizen (lol for years to come)
Played wolfenstein (yawn), men of war assault squad (lol i suck at that)
Want some multiplayer...

Diablo 3 and Steam Indie Games, generally co-op games that I team up with Xeno with and play through them.

Honeslty the new CoD looks better than BF Hardline, and that's a sad state of affairs

BF4 had charm?

I recently played grid2 on a friends pc with an xbox controller. It was a lot more fun than I thought, and a lot better with a controller than a keyboard (which I normally use). Imma buy a controller and get the latest grid when it launches. Driving games are fun.

Eh, I liked grid better.

I hated the 'endurance' race mode in grid 2, where the track changes after each corner. That's not endurance racing, it's mental. It annoyed me because you had to compromise on the apex of the current corner to allow for any possibility of next corner. Rather than the predictability of an endurance race where you learn the circuit and can work on your line to shave time off your lap ultimately winning the race....like a normal endurance race.

Is it fun? yeah if you're 13 and just going to slam into the armco anyway, then replay it in slow motion from 15 different camera angles (except the cockpit camera).

After the 2nd 'endurance' race I uninstalled and deleted. I had a gut feeling there would be something like that which is why I borrowed-a-friends-copy before purchasing. I might grab it in the steam sale if it's silly cheap, it has split screen and I have 2x Xbox controllers for the girl and me to bond over, she's not going to care if endurance races are retarded.

Xbox controller for grid is awesome though, dirt 3 as well!

@Bounty - I like the eundurance race mode, I'm not a fender bender and that mode allowed me to race something a bit more interesting than the same loop over and over again. You could tell where you were going somewhat with the minimap

What I don't like are the drift modes >.>

The only time circulating the same circuit becomes boring is when you reach the singularity. Where you can break the lap record on every lap, and that is impossible. Until then there are always thousandths to shave off.

And that is why I loved doing 24 minutes of le man (speaking of which that's on....right now?) because I always worked on driving further each time.

Apparently the new grid is suppose to be more like the old grid, with cockpit view and everything!

Ok this looks amazing, on3 club?!?

Also confirms some of my issues with grid2, it was aimed at more of a casual group, whereas I enjoyed grid cause it filled the gap between need for speed/crash team racing and rfactor/GTR.

I'm actually ridiculously excited about autosport, sounds amaaaaaze!

Keen, have been hooning Assetto Corsa lately with a G25 wheel.. really steep learning curve for a keyboard/controller guy haha.. But DAMN fun :)

Recently bought Divinity, Original Sin. It's a lot like Baldurs gate in RPG ness except battles are turn based / action points. It has massive crafting elements, and a lot of depth, quests / voice acting / story all well done.

Will keep me entertained anyway.

Grid Autosport. It's awesome with a controller.

I also picked up Assetto Corsa in the steam sale, it's super hard with a controller, so am thinking about buying a wheel.
Title: Re: What are people getting some of ?
Post by: Speakman on July 15, 2014, 10:01:12 pm
Assetto Corsa definitely worth a wheel. I grabbed a $140 Driving Force GT for it, never looked back. Not even close to as good as a G27, but solid value for money if you are a bit unsure whether you wanna pursue it

There are a few G27's on trademe, most seem to go for around $280-$300, I might pick one up but I'm really not sure. If I do, I can see myself building a car seat thing for it and all sorts, and I'm not sure I want to be that balls deep into it.

Did you know that when you drive a car you can use a pedal to brake and accelerate and they have a range rather than simply an on/off switch.

Also, similar story with a steering wheel.

But I'm glad that Getsome has pioneered the amazing inconceivable discovery that a keyboard with 0 / 1 rather than 0-1 inputs isn't as good as a controller for simulating something that could be comparable to having 0-1 inputs. And, omg, I can't believe I'm posting in the thread where it happened. I should take a screenshot and sell it on eBay.

Lets make a car with on/off switches for accelerating, braking, and especially steering. I'm going to patent the idea. Don't steal it plz.

HI BOUNTY HUNTER DID YOU KNOW IM BACK?

I BET YOU DIDNT

To tell you the truth.. I never left. I have been here the whole time contemplating my existence. Reading. Watching. Grabbing rii's bum so he thinks someone likes him. Listening. Feeling. And simply... being.

And the truth of truths occurred to me. The bro who said "I think therefore I am" is stupid. No, not because of his saying, or his existing, but because he created stupidity and you can't create stupidity if you can't comprehend it. This saying gave permission to stupid beings to exist, because as long as you can process thought however retarded, you get to exist. People who are stupid should not exist, or more specifically in regards to the context, be "am".

I've been getting back to WoW (god help me) a bit, playing Horde since I have not seen much of that side. Also playing Europia Universalis 4 and getting to the end of Sniper Elite 3. I recently bought a Wii U so some Mario Kart 8 online. Mostly I'm waiting for Destiny to come out, hoping to get into it's multiplayer for a while.

I got that when it went to full release and love the combat and character leveling, but then I got to the big boss of the first area and had to fight 3 other bosses I had encountered and I lost all motivation to play it. I really should try it again though.

I was a bit disappointed in Banished.


It's well made, and polished.


But it's ridiculously slow paced. Even running at 10x speed it takes forever for anything to happen. And there's not much to do. And I would like to see much more variety in goods that your village can produce.

However I'm sure the guy will make updates.

I think it's open for modding too which is a good thing. I enjoyed it but tired of it quickly.

I picked up XCOM and Bioshock infinite in a humble bundle a week or so ago. Been playing the shit out of both. Bioshock infinite is a stunning game.

It is most awesome.

In this world of generic online shooters its good to have a single players FPS with a good story.

The combat in Bioshock Infinite was monotonus and tedious. I hated it. The weapons were also uninspired and often resembled each other. I would have been happy if guns where completely removed and you relied on your plasmids.

I agree with you about the combat but I think the plasmids should of been removed and the combat should of centered around guns and perhaps melee weapons with unique designs. Or maybe allow the weapons to be augmented with plasmid types powers.

To me the plasmids were only there because the game was named Bioshock. There seemed to be no reason for them to be in Columbia given the philosophy behind the place.

Yeah I've found the weapons a bit of a let down, kind of a 'wait, which one is this?', but when taking in to account how awesome the rest of the game is, it's easy to forgive.

It messes with my muscle memory - especially when jumping from BF3/BF4 where I have my controls set just the way I like them. TBH if a game tells me that I can't bind a particular key/axis to a particular function, then I am not too interested in playing it

I played Pandaria for a couple days last month. I really wanted to enjoy it but I didn't. And don't get me wrong, the effort they put into it is really good, I just don't have it in me.

Blizzard is still currently getting my $USD14.95 per month though. I should really sort that.
Title: Re: What are people getting some of ?
Post by: Scunner on August 01, 2014, 12:43:31 pm
I kind of agree. I've never got into raiding, I've always been into leveling, questing, exploring, dungeon-ing and while I liked the content in the other expansions, Pandaria never grabbed me. Which is why I'm not playing on my Alliance characters and playing new classes I haven't really tried on the Horde side.

Haha, I did a similar thing, to some extent. I managed to do most of the eastern exploration using sneak / teleportation, and setting barrel traps. It was so hard! then  I realised I should have gone west first...I strolled through the easy western areas.

The way I won against the 4 was a lot of luck. The main guy has 1 massive attack that kills your guys in 1 swoop if it hits. However if you get them in the right places, the attack misses, one of my first close attempts he actually killed another boss.
Anyway my final winning tactic was concentrate on killing them one at a time, trying to disable / distract them with freeze or summoned skeletons while I rushed / smashed the poison boss first, the main boss only has that one attack, then spends most of his time running away, if you keep your melee guys on him, he basically defeats himself by getting extra hits from opportunity attacks. Keep your fire resistance high because the twins seem to be the hardest hitting boss.

It raised my pulse.

Then it said "Frag like 1999" and I was all OK! (http://quakelive.com)

I kept watching and found it's quite UT centric. That's ok though, it still looks hot.
I can forgive that, UT classic was much funs when quake fans were scarce.

Different enough to appreciate both, I think its the term (it is now, fuckers).
