Hm I only played and completed Dungeon Siege 2. It was quite alright but I remember that it was a bother to switch spells so I basically just didn't. I tried DS3 but... well. I have the idea they took an existing RPG off the shelf and put the Dungeon Siege name on it to get some more sales out of it.

Playing some Terraria 1.4 goodness. If the game was already great, now it is fantastic.

Same. Haven't played for years and I'm loving it.

Alan Wake = £1.13 on Steam Sale now over back to £11.39

Not liking the OBVIOUS controller (X-box 360) controls

haynor666 · 20 May 2020, 09:58

World War Z

Anubis · 20 May 2020, 14:01

Half way through GTA V Story Mode. Is it me or this game story mode is bit shallow... stuff already seen before and quite short if in 4 days of casual playing I am @ ~50%.

Both of my kids are into Starbound and Stardew Valley. Not sure why they never got into Terraria. We might play it over weekend a bit.

Got GTA V for free too but I'm not convincted to play so far.

A computer named "Lorraine" 500 is a important part of the plot

I actually liked the game, once you get into it. Only issue I had was to get into game, and second day R(etard)Star log in server was not responding.

I played only GTA III on original xbox to end. Rest of GTA games I tried, but never was able to get into the story, specially not into GTA IV which I tried just few months ago.

Most of mission with Trevor turn out to be fun ... for example, in this video, watch @ about 10:30 when he explains why they did missions...

I consider San Andreas the last great GTA. It was really open with emergent stuff happening (gang wars etc). Later ones forfeited this for being more Story-driven (yawn) and stuffing in annoying stuff like pointless minigames or your stupid cousin/gf calling you all the time.

The difficulty was also siginficantly lowered. Now you need mods to actually crash your car. WTF.

Still, its environment is flawlessly realized and really beautifuly. But for me its real selling point is the First Person mode, it's absolutely amazing, a literal game changer. So when I still had a AAA PC rig I would just play it for fun in free roam - either cause trouble and see how long I can survive or use some of the gameplay-changing mods. For that alone it's worth having.

It's a shame the GTA Online has become such a cash cow we will still have to wait for GTA 6...

gimbal · 22 May 2020, 00:47

People knock the phone system in GTA 4 a lot. But I was getting really fed up with it in San Andreas as well

Yeah yeah the yay is leaving San Fierro... I really don't care Cesar!

To be honest, San Andreas ruined GTA for me. I now only want one thing: boatloads of really loopy characters tied to dozens of really weird side quests. GTA 4 and 5 did not deliver, I like them less. Lets not even speak about the utterly forgettable Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories.

Anubis · 22 May 2020, 13:24

I actually like missions in GTA V so far. Hope it will not disappoint with ending. Bit over half of campaign.

Last night started download of Red Dead Redemption 2 on XGP. Will probably play that after done with GTA V.

Biscuit · 22 May 2020, 14:27

Is Bugbomber the most frantic game on the Amiga? I think it might be. Played through all 50 levels on IQ 0. I love the chaos but it gets mental with those zippy robots. Have started it on max difficulty and half way through it is getting really tricky.

Anubis · 26 May 2020, 14:59

Done with storyline on GTA V, no interest in GTA V online at all.

Started playing Shadow of War and some quick Battletech battles.

Playing LightForce on ZX Spectrum for RGL.

I actually like it, and for time when it was released, 1986, it was quite good. I could not believe how responsive controls are on speccy.

Witcher III GOTY on PS4 Pro, bought it ages ago but started only yesterday.

Also Maneater on PS4 Pro, incredibly fun game but extremely buggy and crash prone.
I've had five crashes so far, luckily my save game is still intact (unlike many others) so I'm waiting for an update to fix it.

[edit]
Btw, anybody else have problems logging into PSN via browser on PC ?
My PS4 connects and logs in fine though.

I have serious suspicions that Goolag's half-witted POS ReCaptcha is the culprit here...

Anubis · 27 May 2020, 12:30

I did not notice anything unusual with PSN web site. It does seem bit slow (as always

), but might be due them givin' Call of Duty WWII free, on top of Farm Simulator and Cities Skyline PS4 Edition.

Ostin Maur · 27 May 2020, 21:57

ATM it is World of Warcraft. Switched to Destiny 2 and Apex Legends but in the end returned to WoW. It is a habit of mine to buy 50$ worth of gold every month

btw here is a dependable site https://overgear.com/games/wow in case you are a fan of WoW yourself.
