For those of you who are interested, Part II of Rome 2's "Sane Review" is out, you'll need an hour+ of your time though. The guy is rather thorough and it makes for some good background noise.

Playing through Company of Heroes 2, another I wouldn't pay full price for. Great game like the first COH...but it is the first COH only with a few tweaks. Fun, entertaining, a challenge, but not worth the orginal $60 USD.

Steam had a sale over the holidays and I picked up Trials Evolution Gold. If you like trials motorcycles, this is a pretty decent game. They had it on sale for 7 or 8 dollars, but now it is $20. The bike and rider customizations suck, you spend money for different parts or clothes which do nothing for the gameplay, but the bikes' physics are pretty solid and the tracks are fun. The only downside is you need an Ubisoft Uplay account. I have something like 150 hours in the game so far and haven't beaten it. The single payer content is huge.

Joining the early access on this one, looks great, but problems with the kiddies wanting to kill everyone they see even though coop is the way to go.

It doesn't matter, humanity apparently no longer understands the concept of teamwork. I played the day-z standalone mod for a while.

Best shot is a pre-made team, same as with Rust same as with everything else. Trying to get no-names you randomly meet on a server to cooperate? Bwhahahahahahaha

Apparently you can get PTSD from a video game now......

This is why I have a love/hate relationship with FPS, do they not realize a team gets it done and not some lone guy that sits in one spot watching his team die?

Yeah, that's throwing a long stretch at it with saying that. However, it is actually a pretty stressful FPS compared to others, especially when you've been "surviving" multiple days.

This is in the context OF a video game against video games, though. Most FPS VG's just piss me off more than anything due to the inaccuracies and general bullshit that irritates the snot out of me.

DayZ is one of those games that just isn't really fun to play unless your doing it with friends, and you won't last very long without friends. Personally I'm just gonna replay some of my fav's from the Steam Library till Titanfall and Watch Dogs comes out

 

[Ranger Psych]

Yeah, it's even better when you're playing with bros who are all "If the apocalypse comes, I'm going to your house" yet want to fuck with my cache's in-game... Dude, it don't work both ways, in a game of free choice you're choosing to be an antagonist rather than a comrade. You're gonna get the rifle that might not work and/or doesn't have a firing pin, just so I can have my theatrical moment with short monologue prior to execution when you decide my shit is worth flat out taking rather than having it shared.

of course, I probably wouldn't be so aggrivated about it if I had the $$ for a decent gaming laptop so I could have some semblance of framerate where FPS'es were remotely fun. Although not as pro-tier as STO, Robocraft is also a fun little venture, build a contraption and put guns on it, go fight it every 3 minutes. Free with various subscription stuff and runs quick even on my trashbad laptop.

Kicking deamon ass and taking names in Diablo III, anybody wanna hook up?

 

[AWP]

I had to dig up this thread.

Dying Light is sick. I'm sure it will get repetitive at some point, but I'm 45 minutes in and am hooked. Graphics are awesome and the parkour element is dumbed down. I'm playing it on PC with a mouse and keyboard so if you prefer that over a controller you'll be fine.

 

[Ranger Psych]

Elite: Dangerous is boss tier.

 

[SpitfireV]

I've been harassing Shermans in mein Panther in Warthunder lately. Also back into Eve for the meantime.

 

[Ranger Psych]

Better watch out, you never know when you'll get a new tailpipe from a Jumbo...

[Polar Bear]

Been playing it since it came out. Have had the shit scared out of me a couple of times

 

[Kraut783]

Anyone else playing Destiny? I'm enjoying it so far....not a bad story line and play is good. Kinda of a Halo mix...

 

[nobodythank you]

Got some Battlefield 4 on the PC going if anyone else plays.

 

[Rapid]

Alien Isolation was pretty damn cool.

 

[Florida173]

Can't wait for GTA5 to finally get released for PC

 

[Rapid]

Aye. I could see a ShadowSpear gang/death squad working out pretty well. And they're going to add bank heists in the near future, so we need some Rangers on board for that.

Ouch. That's going to generate some Ranger hate.

I'll be a lot of folks on the site don't get the reference.
