General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

I like that some characters that really look like instant boss battles (readric and that vampyr guy in the dungeons of your castle) are not that keen on fighting you and you can avoid the hassle of being slain many times by coexisting with these dick characters. And you don't even have to go through charisma/intelligence checks to make that decision.

What difficulty settings are you playing at? I'm on hard... At first it really lives up to that name, but once i figured out the ghost/specter mobs and got a bigger party, it became much easier, though the mind controlling mobs still pose a big challange if there are a few of them. I wanted to solo or at least dual this game, but some parts of the game are just too brutal :drunk:.
 
Haha, those Shades and their Shadows were a pest, until I discovered how they actually worked. Wow. Lots of frustration has been had. I'm playing on normal, at the moment, but I might switch to hard. Some fights are a bit annoying, but never really life threatening. I do have trouble keeping my mage alive some fights. Positioning him just right is a bitch.

Haven't encountered any mind controlling mobs so far, though. Sounds like they could be problematic.

I have a full party with me, by the way. I just figured that was what the designers had in mind when they made the game. Never even crossed my mind to go solo.
 
Well, i tried to fight the thing at the end of the endless path..... It didn't go so well for me.... like, at all. Killed all of my party in about 4 seconds.

Also, Cean Gwla is the most annoying enemy, especially in swarms of 5 or more.
 
Oh yeah, there's no way I could get past that Dragon in the Endless Paths, and that's not even the final boss or whatever. Btw I'm level six at the moment, I don't know what level I should be for that fight. I might just be bad, or I might just be too low level. I really don't know. I should probably expose his weaknesses too with my barbarian, maybe I can get a good read on what I should do.

What are Caen Gwla? Oh, don't tell. I'll find out myself. :)
 
Can anyone that has played AoD confirm that it is indeed a good game? I hear great things about it but I can't afford to rape my wallet since I have to get my GTX 980 Ti and I still haven't gotten ammo for my 9mm. I do keep hearing that it's a really good game from the 'Dex but I'd just like an opinion or twelve from here.
 
Don't know which thread, but almost everyone here seemed to think AoD was pretty awesome. Even heard the title 'best RPG of the year' being mentioned. It's also on my wishlist. I'll get to it. Some day.

Now I'm back to Morrowind, though. After that probably some more Underrail and right back into Pillars of Eternity.

I liked it a lot. Maybe not as good as Pillars of Eternity but definitely a good game. The game is very harsh towards the player and combat is tough as well. If you aren't going to build yourself up as a warrior in that game, you better pay attention to you persuasion skills to talk your way out of difficult situations. One complaint I have is that the game crashes occasionally when traveling between cities. But the satisfaction I get from playing allows me to easily overlook those crashes.
 
Let's see..
Rise of the tombraider done - some achievements.
Warlords battlecry 3 is still going strong but i guess i will be "done" soon.
Warhammer 40k DOW 2 chaos rising is still not complete as i tend to play other games.
The witcher 1 is done and i should play TW2 soon but it just havent gone that way.. Yet!
 
I started replaying New Vegas again, and it's such a breath of fresh air to play again after 4.
Afterwards, I'm going to try and platinum them all.

Oh I may go on a franchise playthrough, but that includes Brotherhood of Steel because I'm a completionist.

How was Rise of the Tomb Raider and did you play it on PC? Just wondering.

There is anything besides PC? :P It was a bit like the previous one BUT improved. It had a few small bugs but nothing major.

Well worth the 30 something euros i paid for it. But as the previous one they are trying to throw out as many DLC's they can and i really hate that.

I didn't know, just like to check since I know some people here use consoles like that Ps4 as well so I was just checking(I only use my trusty PC).
I was asking since if I buy my video card it comes with a free Rise of the Tomb Raider Steam key. Might as well get an opinion and not let that key go to waste.

Any recommendations for decent singleplayer FPS games? Something a little unique would be nice.

Metro 2033 + last light. Nothing can beat that!

Also Singularity was far better than expected allthou you can feel the consolization of the game if that bothers you.

Edit: F.E.A.R is also good if you haven't played that serie.
 
Just started up Shadowrun Dragonfall, i ran through the first mission and am on the fence on whether i should continue this. What bugs me is the writing, it seems almost bethesdian and childish in its tone, especially in dialogues. I know that playing this after pillars of eternity puts it against a pretty steep standard, but hearing people praise this game i suspected that the dialogue would be at least pretty decent. The combat was somewhat interesting, so i'm wondering now if the game has any redeeming qualities going forward? Or is the start of the game pretty much what one gets the whole game?
