What Are You Playing Right Now? (Gaming Thread)

[remydat]

I thought ME3 was brilliant and the ending, while a little lame, never bothered me at all, although I didn't play it until the extended ending was released. The gameplay was ME perfected and the campaign captured the feeling of fighting a losing war against an inevitable foe. You would have these little tactical victories and still watch the Reapers inexorably spread across the galaxy. It felt genuinely hopeless. So many people ruined it for themselves with performative sweaty gamer outrage, as if they were ever going to deliver 150,000 separate endings based on every choice you made during the trilogy.

Yeah that was why I liked it too as it felt like reality. People wanted every decision to matter when in reality you can think you are making an important decision only to find out it didn't really matter at all. Thought they got enough of the big decisions right and quite frankly it was never about defeating the Reapers for me. It was more about the journey of the character's for me. The resolution of the Genophage with Wrex and Mordin and the Quarian/Geth war with Tali and Legion were damn near perfect for me. The Citadel DLC just made it all the more rewarding.

Marauder Shields is a beast too. Easy on the lower difficulties but literally took me like 2 hours to beat that asshole on Insanity.

Started sekiro that shit is hard it’s no ghost of Tsushima which I found pretty easy

It is from the Dark Souls guys and easily one of the hardest games you can play. You can cheese a few of the boss fights but the one's you can't are fucking horrific especially 2 in particular I won't spoil.

LoL I actually googled the game @nvanprooyen suggested and was like "Dis mfer right here."

All the reviews were about how much of a pita the game was. Nice try Van.

I actually did start playing Lost Ark last night. Free steam DL. Not bad so far.

I played it a bunch on PS4. It wasn't bad, but not really great either. Probably worth $25.

Horizon Forbidden West is out at the end of this week. I imagine that is going to have me locked up for awhile. Been looking forward to the sequel for a long time, and early reviews look great. My first pre-order in quite some time.

The story line is really interesting and the main missions were solid. I will buy it for sure but am in no rush got plenty of games to run through first maybe get it on the cheaps later on

i thought the game was underrated. i enjoyed what i played of it.. put 20+ hours in it, but stepped away for a long time cause of life and its hard to get back into it without starting over... i forgot the storyline.. and what i was doing kind of thing

You're basically Mel Gibson with a car and a harpoon

for @nvanprooyen or anyone who gets horizon forbidden west, am I an idiot for trying it on a ps4 pro or should I wait like 2 years until I get a ps5?

@tardigrade I played like 60% of Mad Max a while back and picked it up again recently to scratch that itch and try to finish it.

My only complaint is that its a large quantity of grind for a game with a pretty light story.

Even more so if you're a completionist.

I wish they had a mode that was like race/horde mode with some kind of AI Director that tunes the incoming enemies to make it challenging/fun.

Would be cool if you could build your own War Rig and/or a small/medium/large sized war party to tackle various missions.

I've always thought Mad Max or The Purge would be good Universes to do as samples for a Gaming World Engine.

I wouldn’t be too anal about which version to play until they move on from ps4 games altogether
