What Game Did You Play Today?

Shattered Crystal is testing the limits of my patience. I thought it was a little dull before, but now it’s thrown Sonic Unleashed medal walls at me because I have to collect the damn Crash Bandicoot crystals by backtracking into earlier levels with different characters. I’m already defending Rise of Lyric, but this one? Nah, I don’t think so. At least they did an okay job on that for the parts that weren’t completely melted by trying to run Cryengine on a Wii U.

Captain Toad

Nintendo land and 3d world

I felt that Nintendo land was a disappointment. While it is fun, there are only 6 multiplayer mini games in total while there are more for 1 player, and that goes against the purpose of owning a wii or a wii u

Far Cry: Vengeance, an interesting for me title. Also, Assassin’s Creed II. I wish that the AMD’s GVR would record any game, even if it would not be on the Raptr’s application list.

I’ve been playing Skyrim. Can you guys recommend me some good mods for it?

I just got an Oculus Rift DK2 and have been playing Half-Life 2 in it. Headcrabs are a lot bigger than I thought. :slight_smile:

(Also, can someone tell my bedroom to stop spinning so I can go to sleep?)

World of Tanks… until I looked at my ping, checked online and found out the SEA-ME-WE 3 Perth ↔ Singapore segment is down again (after having been down all of December and just fixed last week)

:tired:


Lords of the Fallen. It was going well until the game crashed just as I got the Beast down to ~1/4 health :frowning:
Took some more screenshots.

EDIT: managed to beat him on the 3rd try after another crash. The game doesn’t seem to like his spit attack…

Finally unlocked a couple characters in Shattered Crystal, so that adds some variety, I guess. I still think it’s not really that fun and it baffles me that people like this version more.

Still playing Xenoblade. Over 50 hours in now and I just figured out how to give presents. Also I’m pretty sure I’ve still got a sizeable chunk of story left to go. These side missions just take so long and can be kind of tedious, still for the most part it’s really fun.

Assassin’s Creed Unity…and YES the game is still buggy and glitchy,the story is mediocre at best…but DAMN this game looks freakin’ unbelievable!The lighting is by far the best I’ve seen in any video game and the level of detail is just staggering.I play some other games like Far Cry 4 and Shadow of Mordor in between and while they look good in their own terms they almost feel generation behind ACU in terms of graphical fidelity.

Great game, I also had a lot of fun. I’m considered giving that Long War-Mod a Go, cause I really enjoyed the battles in this. It’s just that I really don’t have much time to play as it is.

Found some minutes to play Wasteland 2 today, though. Really Liking the mood and the perspective of being able to deal with this game for quite some time. But, woah, I really didn’t expect my system to get so laggy when putting everything to high quality. Had to put everything in medium display quality. Still enjoying it, though!

Some joke about eye depth and sims 3 mods followed by an ironic “10/10” and a quip about why IGN sucks.

More Half-Life 2 in the Oculus Rift. The “native support” is great, but I got to the point where you get the gun attached to your airboat and their choice of aiming leaves a bit to be desired.

When you are introduced to weapons (crowbar, pistol, etc), you are taught that your mouse allows you to aim independent of the head tracking. So you can look to the left while shooting to your right. This quickly becomes second nature and I find I can aim much more accurately like this than normal. That’s great!

However, when you get the gun attached to the airboat, they decide to track the crosshairs with your head position. What the heck? I found it hard to aim to take down the gunship near Black Mesa East. I was able to do it, but it was a pain in the neck. Literally. I had to stop playing after taking down the gunship.

Valve should have their head examined when they programmed it this way.

By the way, when you’re running to escape the gunship through the warehouse thing and you’re hiding around shipping containers, it almost felt like I WAS THERE! That was awesome!

I’ve nearly finished Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (which is possibly one of my favourite games ever) and I also just started on Mirror’s Edge. The movement system in this game is astonishing, but the storm drain part in Jacknife pisses me off to no end.

I’ve wanted to play Mirror’s Edge, but something about it was really giving me headaches, so I never made it past the first mission. Also screen tearing out the bajeezes even with V-sync on.

Not sure what it is. Certain first person perspective games screw with my eyes and head, and others are perfectly fine. Maybe it’s the FoV.

Beat Lords of the Fallen. That last battle was pretty tricky.

Will be interesting to see how the Ancient Labyrinth expansion / DLC and the eventual sequel turn out - hopefully they’ll be more stable (and maybe a bit longer playthrough length for Lords of the Fallen 2).

I’m on the final boss of TPS now, and it’s kind of cheap to be honest. As soon as you deplete its shield, it recharges it and sends enemies at you, and it does this at least four times until you can finally damage it, but then it gets more aggressive and you go down nearly instantly and then when you die the whole cycle restarts with the thing’s health fully restored. Fuck.

EDIT: I also played a bit of Saints Row 3 on my friend’s Xbox, and it’s pretty fun. I think I might buy it on PC, assuming I can run it.

EDIT 2: I made a really cool character but my save got corrupted when the Xbox fell over. First his clothes disappeared, and then he himself did. Fuck. Thankfully according to Steam I just meet the minimum requirements. Just.

Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. Did you know that The Inner Eye stacks with Brimstone? I didn’t.

Rogue Trooper. Think I’m close to the end of the game now. Had to set it to run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode to fix a framerate issue in the hoppa chase level.


World of Tanks. The new “Personal Missions” are a decent way to make some credits (went from having ~100,000 to 1 million in two days), but seem to be having a bad influence on team play - lots of players getting themselves or their teammates destroyed in order to complete the mission objectives. Hopefully that will settle down over time…


Path of Exile. Playing the Witch and the Ranger, the game so far seems a fair bit easier (and shorter) than my first run with the Marauder.

I’m on Episode 5 of The Walking Dead Season 2 now, and I like it better than Season 1. It’s not perfect though, like how sometimes not a single one of the dialogue options seems realistic to me, or how Telltale really really needs new animators and sound designers.

EDIT: I finished it. I’m personally surprised by how much I liked the ending.
