Other PC Games Thread.
So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Yep 
yep 
 
Anybody else looking forward to Dishonored 2?

(Fingers crossed that they don't screw it up)

I'll probably need to build a new PC for it, which is no big deal since my current game computer has developed some strange problems.

If I had to choose, I'd have to say Dishonored is my favorite game of all time. It's kind of funny, because I didn't realize I liked stealth games until I played it. 
 
And yet Dishonored is very light and rather barebones in the stealth department, so I'm hoping Dishonored 2 will have a more robust system like the Thief games (not counting Thi4f) or at the very least harder stealth. 
 
Yeah, the enemy's tendency to never look up made stealth mode pretty easy as long as you could get above them (which was most of the time), and you didn't mind occasionally reloading a quicksave. 
Skacky 
i've got a question about your Thief contribution

is there any particular reason that you decide to stick to T1 instead of T2

ps looking forward for your upcoming TG project 
Anybody Else Looking Forward To Dishonored 2? 
Fuck yes. Didn't you see Daz or my responses to the D2 videos on this thread?? 
Lol 
shambler at his best 
 
the enemy's tendency to never look up

So they behave like modern gamers then

Probably the best semi-angsty semi-soppy story-driven teenage college girl sim around?? No srsly. I watched the bird play some of this and it seems very well done in it's genre....really quite emotional in places.

Off to play more DOOM soon, personally.

I just prefer TG over T2 for a few reason:
- Better atmosphere
- Better textures (in the artistic sense)
- All in all it's the better game to me

Also I already have access to all the resources used in TG that I would have to import if I was mapping for T2.

Also yeah I'm hyped for Dishonored 2. 
Skacky 
thank you 
Quadrilateral Cowboy 
Anybody tried it? AFAIK it was built on IdTech 4. 
Metal Gear Solid 5 
picked it up for -80% off or something a while back and only just got around to playing it. Never played any of the MGS games before but damn, this is great.

I have absolutely NO IDEA wtf is going on with the story, it's utterly bat shit mental. But the game play is refined as fuck and very satisfying.

It reminds me of XCOM in that you have a persistent base building aspect and a tactical combat element where you can use all the stuff you have researched to fuck people up.

I'd say if you love sandbox stealth games with a persistent base building aspect then definitely take a solid look at this game. I'm having a blast with it.

Note that I'm playing on pc with a xb1 controller. Can't comment on what it feels like to play with a kb/m. 
 
Yeah not a good idea picking MGS5 as your first entry in the series, both for story and gameplay reasons. 
Hmm 
I will have to look into MGS5 on the next Steam Sale. I love well polished stealth games. 
"Note That I'm Playing On Pc With A Xb1 Controller." 
GaaaAAAaaaaAAyyyyyyyy. 
Diablo 3 
I know I'm going to repeat what has already been said here but I played through all 5 acts of Diable 3 (I have the ROS expansion.) I had it on my machine for quite a while before commiting to a game.

As with Diablo 2, I started the game on Normal expecting relative dominance against the mass enemies but having reason to fear bosses (for me Duriel, the D2 Act 2 boss, killed me numerous times and was the hardest in the whole game with Diable second.) I admit that a mix of cowardace and laziness kept me from bumping up the difficulty with my Demon Hunter and it felt like I had a cheat code on because I plowed through everything without ever dying.

Maybe Blizzard should have called Normal Easy and Hard Normal or something that would result in a peceived challenge on par with Diablo 2 which felt right for me.

I did enjoy the game. It looks great and sounds great (the music seemed better in Act 1 then the others.) I actually like the extra colours and glitter and the interface seemed good. Unlimited potions and town portals were nice but brought a slight sense of guilt since they carried no cost or inventory burden. D3 felt less grindy then D2 but that could have been the speed with which I made it though in light of no resistance. D2 had a better story but the D3 story was okay if a bit cliched. The D2 story is hard to beat - three brothers - 3 prime evils - hard to top that.

I did get my Nagelring but it happened post Act 5 while doing bounties for the sake of reaching level 70. I did bump up to Hard but I may have to go up another notch or two before I actually have to pay attention to my health globe. Naybe I'll get an itch in a year or so (I did like repeating D2) and I'll use my existing Demon hunter to redo the campaign but with proper peril. 
 
Note that I'm playing on pc with a xb1 controller.

I've considered buying one because some games require pressing multiple controller buttons at once to perform certain actions. This can be awkward and if not impossible to do playing the PC port on a keyboard.

Bad thing is, you usually don't find this out until after you buy the game. 
 
uh, ok, nevermind. 
Diablo III 
Was hyped for it then it turned to be rather disappointing.

However, I can appreciate the second half of Act III as it was a visual splendor to play through!

Diablo II will always be the king for me.
