I have the mobile version of this and it's actually quite good, though the in game purchases of extra classes and enemy packs are a bit expensive. It can also get quite hard in later levels if the winds of chance blow against you.
I'd like to get Rise of the Tomb Raider as I really liked the reboot, but since Square Enix decided to make a exclusivtity deal with MS, I don't know when it'll be out for PS4 or PC.
The only game I'm really looking forward to is Arkham Knight.
I only heard of this after the Kickstarter was finished but was able to pre-order, I guess, through the Humble Bundle Store via their website http://dragonfinsoup.com/ .
I've pretty much been playing Dragon Age: Inquisition since it came out. I can't put it down. Love the combat and love the characters in the game. It also has a huge world. I've played about 18 hours, according to my save file, and from what I've read I'm only just at the end of the 'intro'.
Before that, I got through Shadows of Mordor. Great game even though it borrows a lot from other games. Standard open world side quests and collectables, combat system taken from the Batman: Arkham games with a few unique abilities thrown in, terrain traversal like Assassins Creed, but the Nemesis system makes the game something a bit different. Having Uruk bosses with special traits and personalities that fight each other and build power gives the feeling of a living, especially when you get the ability to control them a create your own pet warlord.
Other games I played here and there before DA:I came out are:
Super Smash Bros on the 3DS on the train to and from work Crusader Kings 2 Started a Fallout 2 game after getting it off GOG.com Replaying Saint's Row 2 after getting it off Steam Civilization: Beyond Earth
I too started getting in some exercise and eating healthier recently. Cutting down on how much I ate each day, having better meals and cutting down on sugars. Also, after work during the week, getting 20 minutes on an exercise bike I got myself. Not a huge work out, but I made sure I was doing it for the whole week.
I started at the end of last cricket season, around the end of March. I had been meaning to start exercising for a couple of years as I noticed I was more and more unfit at the start of every cricket season, but just put it off. I only got my arse into gear after my brother started doing the same thing, but it has helped. I've dropped 15kg up to the start of pre-season training a month ago, to be sitting around 80kg now, and I've noticed a difference at training; I can do a lot more work before I'm buggered.
Now I just need to build the will to cut down on the beer.
Lvl 13. Mars just opened up, got a sweet auto-rfile that spits out 60 rounds in a couple of seconds which at lvl 13, makes it a HELL of a lot easier to take out the Kabal (not sure how to spell it - big, 800 pound Space Warrior lookin' dudes).
I'm at lvl 18 and I haven't reached Mars yet. I've been doing Patrols for Bounties plus the Earth and Moon Strikes and multiplayer in the Crucible. That seems to keep me well ahead of the level curve.
This game is worth so much more than the reviews it's getting. I love it. Even on a 360, the visuals and audio are impressive. Will be repurchasing when I get an Xbox One at some stage.
I'm enjoying the game but I agree with the reviews. At it's core the gameplay is fun and it has amazing visuals and audio, but outside of that it does a lot of things wrong. Like, they've built these beautiful worlds but there is very little story being told in them and what there is is just a collection of poorly written science fiction clichés.
From what I've seen PvE is story missions that can be tackled as a group or separate free roam to do side missions and public events, which you can group up for as well. Then strikes and raids once you at the end game.
PvP seems to be multiplayer just like any other shooter. TDM and the like.
I tried the Alpha that was available around E3 and was suitably impressed to go out and pre-order. Felt very Borderlands, gameplay wise, and the scenery was amazing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
...Miracle Rogues, Shockadins, Hunter Zoos, and general shit-tardery that has crept in to the classes that seem to see them stall as a particular play style for most players.
As a casual player, I have no idea what any of this means, but the new cards look interesting.
Gave the first wing a run through on normal last night though. Took me a few tries at Maexxna to get the right build to win.
There's so many of these FPS survival games popping up. This is a problem I have with Kickstarter and Early Access type programs for games. Once one game becomes popular through them, a ton of copies appear to try and leech of it's success without really adding anything to the original concept.
I checked my wishlist to see what was on sale from there and saw Speedball 2 HD for $2.50 at 75% off. It's not on the store front so would've missed that if I hadn't.
Great game, used to play tournaments with my friends in primary school when we had sleep overs.
Anyone else pick this up? Having any of the issues that's been reported? Other thoughts?
Personally, the game had performance problems for me so I've had to reduce the graphics settings to get it to run smooth. That's not too much of a problem for me though. Other than that I'm enjoying it. There's so much to distract you in the open world, especially if you're a completionist. I've played about 8 to 9 hours and at best only an hour of that has been on the story missions.
