The game is being delayed specifically for the heists
Gaming thread
- Thread starter nobodythank you
- Start date
Been enjoying 7 Days to Die lately (alpha on Steam). FPS Zombie/base defense game. I like that the focus is on the zombies rather than PvP with a few zombies thrown in like DayZ. 7DTD the zombies are a real threat and will beat you down with random hordes that can run up to several hundred zeds per player in the area. Every seventh day there is a major horde that has figured out where you live and comes for you. On the seventh of those hordes (there's more each time), I had 600+ zombies just for me. They zerg rush you and different types have different abilities, you have to have a solid layered defense if you want to survive...and you only had 7 days to build/rebuild it (about half an hour of game time per day + 10 minutes of game time per night). Oh, and they have a map mode where there are no boundaries, it's completely random and you can just keep running in one direction forever.
Mining, building, scavenging, exploring and mad zombie killing fun. It's worth the cash IMO.

I have been playing Far Cry 4 it is pretty good. Also does anyone play Insurgency?
Elite Dangerous.
Trade, Explore, Fight... all in a replication of the milky way, to include all the stars. ALL OF THEM. Doing exploration, your name is indelibly marked on the game because YOU discovered that system and what it had.
This is my Cobra Mk3. Good little ship, useful for lots of things.
This.... This is the USS Rusty Bucket. My Python class ship. One of the top 3 "make things dead" ships in the game, yet still has space for cargo.
A small interior look.
See you out there, hopefully. PM me if you're playing.

What is DOD using for SIMs now. Back in the late 70's/80's we used a LOT of COTS games and Jim Dunnigan did a lot of custom stuff for DS/DS.
Bohemia interactive is who's the prime contractor/manufacturer for the ground force/blueforce training stuff. They made the ARMA series as a spinoff of their military stuff, and even as a focused "game" it's still pretty dang realistic, depending on what kind of a system/server configuration you run on. Bullet drop, 203's you actually have to break out quadrant/leafs on for good accuracy, TOW's you have to track like a death star with, etc.
More Elite, in surround gaming mode... heh heh

I think Star Citizen looks more interesting... but it also has a lot of hype to live up to/lots of development time left.
Both look like they wouldn't leave time for anything else though. I've already got a backlog of single player games I'd like to get through before even trying anything on that scale. I just recently finished Bioshock Infinite, which was pretty cool... even if some elements of the setting were a clusterfuck of a mess. Cities:Skyline is supposed to be pretty damn good, too, if you want a true successor to the SimCity games.

badass.. I can't get surround to work.. I have three 28' monitors, but two of them are 1920x1200 and the middle one is 4k (3840x2160).
I think the 4K is messing up the process because my computer crashes every time. Got a GTX 970 pushing them.

scratch that... for whatever reason it finally stuck.. 1x3 with 5760x1080, but kind of defeats the purpose of having a 4K monitor.. plus the x1080 is giving an unnatural perspective to the native 1920x1200 that the other can do.
Star citizen: You can play the same 2 maps forever with your pay to win ships while RSI spends the next 20 years laughing to the bank trying to make the game with your 40 billon dollars
Elite Dangerous: New shit monthly, a game you can play RIGHT NOW, and have a blast doing it. Leave your mark on the entire galaxy, going anywhere you can reach if your heart desires. Zero P2W aspects, in fact even hooking up brohams that come in is tough (but doable). Oh, and a one time fee for the game, playable either solo, as a group of friends, or online which is where I reside as a rule.
Rollin with the boyz...

I picked it up yesterday for the Xbox One, and went ahead and got the Premium also. I haven't had time to play with everything I have going on right now, but I've always loved the Battlefield games.
These space games look awesome. I've been looking for something like that for my Mac, just haven''t found anything where it encompassed trading and fighting. I'll have to check those out, hopefully something will work on OS X
So P2W model in what, two years or so?
Not happening. Everything you can buy is either stuff you can have in your hand IE Elite gear, or paint. That's it. The future expansions beyond where things are now will be additional costs, but you aren't going to be paying what you pay for an internet spaceship in SC.

I think you are probably right and I didn't even notice that it was out yet. I think I've watched more than a few videos on the differences between E
and SC and comparing the two only in that they are both in space may be all you need to do.- Joined

Battlefield only deserves to be played on PC. Heretic!
