What are you playing right now?

[baseline bum]

Having just finished Horizon Zero Dawn the other day, I wanted to jump back into the Souls series, so I started playing Demon's Souls yesterday. Great game so far. The controls aren't as tight as in Bloodborne, but it's still pretty damn good. I guess that's just a thing with the Souls series, where you have to go through a first stage with a weak character before you can level up at all. Though that first stage is quite a bit easier in Demon's Souls than it was in Bloodborne, especially the boss fight. Maybe that's just what I have always heard from Souls players, that the first Souls game you play is always the hardest. It definitely seems to have aged pretty well considering this game was released in 2009.

But action wise, up there with Bayonetta 2.

Also as always Japanese people attempt at story telling is cribgeworthy.

I'm still playing Horizon zero dawm though. :lol

I tried out Baselinebum playstyle using the sharphooter bow.

Also I just noticed that the Drops from Horizon zero dawn depends on the Weapn you use..

I just got a 49 handling 12 freeze and damage modification from a thunderjaw.

Probably just laughing at the idea of a non-gamer knowing what is awesome and what isn't. But I get your point. I have friends who have shown amazement on what today's video games can do but dont really play outside of maybe a casual NBA2k game or FIFA/PES in a get together sometimes.

Video games today are way too awesome, but in a way rhe larger scale such as open world games have detered other potential gamers. Like when some Gamer says, the witcher 3 is lile 200 hours..doubt a non-gamer would be too excited to play a game that takes that much time invesment.

I'd invest on a PS4 tbh. Prior to playing horizon zero dawn..I proba ly avergaed around 3-4 hours a month. :lol

Think of it this way, when you go on a hiking trip or some other activities you might do twice a year..You're also investing a considerbale amount of money for an activity you would do for like maybe 10 hours a year.

My ps4 is more of a party and family play zone. Good to have for entertainment when options dry out. It saved me two years ago from a visiting cousin..Dude was trying to find a job, but I wasnt willig to take him out and Enjoy the city with him everyday. :lol...So i just made him play video games in days I didnt want to go out.

Plus you're loaded. Didn't you just buy a 480k house cash a couple years ago. Can only imagine the size of that house in texas. How do you even have the patience to manage a house like that as a single dude...

[Reck]

I'm actually a lot like DPG.

The only difference is that I do end up playing the games I buy.

I'm trying to break out of this habit. I've bought 10 or so brand new games going back to last year and I still haven't gotten around to playing them. They're just sitting there.

Once I start a game though I finish it. And often I would go 100% on that bitch.

I have a Wii, NES Classic and Xbox (the newest version) solely for entertaining. I never play them, but have them for my nieces/nephews for when they come to my house or for my friends when they do (or the occasional party where we bust out the Wii bowling or something).

No, I'm not loaded :lol. I do own a house, but it's not nearly that expensive and I certainly did not pay cash. Also, ive been with my live-in GF for 9 years so I'm not a single guy (just got engaged).

:lol so weird. Plus, my "I don't play comment" was just context for not knowing jack squat about gaming and what is actually a good game or not. I jus thought Zelda looked great and was surprised about the level of detail and thought you have to put into it to play it (like chopping down trees for fire wood, hunting for food, mapping things out, changing clothes based on environment).

[IronMaxipad]

On my 3rd play through of Nier Automata (route c)...Game is legit.

[baseline bum]

I'm a little disappointed by Demon's Souls. Most of the game is really good (I'd probably rate it 8.5/10) but when I began the game and saw those two big dragons in the first level I thought those were going to be some epic fights. But the way to kill the red dragon is to cheese him with magic and he flies by over and over again and to kill the blue dragon you cheese him with arrows and then magic from safe areas. There are some cool boss fights but those two sucked. I can't think of any fights in Bloodborne where you could just cheese like that, much less where that was the way you were supposed to do it. Taking out the ranged combat in Bloodborne was definitely a great move.

Just getting ready to start Dark Souls now. So far the hardest part has been trying to get my 360 controller to sync up with my PC.

Damn it's annoying that Dark Souls renders at an internal resolution of 720p and renders at 30 fps no matter what settings you set for it. I might as well be playing this on PS3, my fucking 970 doesn't even need to turn its fans on while playing this. The Dark Souls fix that allows you to render at a higher native resolution and at 60 fps brings this horrible tear line at the bottom of the screen so it's actually better to play at the default PS3 level settings. :pctoss

Still getting through HZD. Having a hard time staying focused tbh. It's going to take me a while to beat. That has less to do with the game itself and more to do with me though. Most of my free time is spoken for and I have to stay up late or wake up early to get any hours in.

Played The London Heist full demo today on VR, and just started with Uncharted 1... I have all of them and wanna play them in succession...

[baseline bum]

just started with Uncharted 1... I have all of them and wanna play them in succession...

I see you saw today's Easter Sale. :lol

Uncharted is definitely a series to play in order. I like that every sequel is better than the previous game too, though many people consider Uncharted 2 to be the highpoint of the series. Uncharted 4 is extremely impressive graphically. Like I couldn't believe the scrub ass PoorStation 4 could put out graphics like that, even at 30 fps. When PS5 comes out I can't wait to get a 60 fps remaster of Uncharted 4. Funny enough you can actually see what Uncharted 4 at 60 fps would look like by playing in slow motion mode at 30 fps, capturing the video, and doubling the speed to get 60 fps video. The Digital Foundry youtube channel did it and it looks stunning. I won't post the video though since I don't want to give away any spoilers.

For anyone who has a PS4 and hasn't played Uncharted 1-3, that shit is $8 today on PS Store for the package of all three remasters.

[baseline bum]

OK, so I'm a dumbass, Iron Golem in Dark Souls is easy as hell if you do quick slashes at his feet to knock him over. I was doing two hand power attacks, which were really effective taking out Tower Knight's ankles in Demon's Souls.

I'm starting to get the feeling armor is pretty useless in Dark Souls just like it was in Bloodborne. E.g., you should just wear the lightweight armor you think looks the coolest. I never even bothered to see if armor mattered in Demon's Souls since that game was so much easier than Dark Souls or Bloodborne.

[baseline bum]

Gotta say Dark Souls is much better than Demon's Souls but not quite as good as Bloodborne IMO. So far I'd give it probably a 9.5/10 (I have Bloodborne 10/10, Demon's Souls 8/10). Thankfully I figured out how to make dsfix work properly for 60 fps gaming: you set a target framerate of 65 fps in the dsfix ini file and then force vsync through the Nvdia Control Panel to get a locked 60 fps. The only downside is it fucks with the physics a bit, so some jumps can't be done when running at 60 fps. Thankfully dsfix lets you switch between 30 fps and 60 fps by hitting the backspace key.

It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I got tired of running around and I'm using the fast travel more now. I'm not that into fighting the beasts unless I really have to. Other than that, the story is pretty interesting, and I still don't know what Project: Zero Down is all about yet. I just finished the Hoard level.

Just beat Dark Souls 1 and I'm definitely going to come back and play a NG+ on it some time. Ornstein and Smough has to be the best boss battle I have ever played in a game. It's definitely not as hard as beating Orphan of Kos in Bloodborne but it's still pretty damn difficult sniping quick hits at Ornstein while simultaneously trying to keep a column between you and the big ass hammer Smough chases you with. Magnus and the Knight of Artorius are pretty difficult fights too. From made the final boss too easy though. He kicked my ass the first three times I fought him when I was trying to circle around to attack from behind and his attacks are really hard to dodge. But since he was so aggressive I figured I'd try parrying and that made the fight super easy. Still, amazing game that I'd give a 9.5/10 to.

Get the GOTY edition if you can, as both DLC are outstanding. Witcher 3 is significantly larger than even Skyrim, and it's extremely impressive graphically (especially the lighting). The combat is really satisfying too, you can cut people in half or chop their heads off. Also learn how to play Gwent at the beginning. It seems kind of stupid at first but it ends up being a really interesting game to play with everyone you run into. I can't recommend the game highly enough. And it will keep you busy for months.

You can beat it straight thru with almost any combo of characters (Meteor Police ending). But using specific characters with specific items will give different endings. Using the script writer to fix Weird Ed's manuscript brokers a friendship and he will help you eliminate the meteor and using either of the musicians to record a demo tape will help you befriend the tentacle and he will beat up the purple tentacle who tries to keep you from the Dr. and the meteor.

It's like Metal Gear Solid in all the various ways you can eliminate the meteor. Such a fun game. The creator made an XBox 360 game that was free with Gold last month, called the Cave. Same premise, puzzle solving action game with a group of three people with different powers. Seemed a little like Abe's Odyssey, but still a fun game with a lot of MM feel to it.

Gonna have to download MM and play it again. That game was way past it's time with all the different gameplay options it had. I never owned it, I rented it from Blockbuster or something several times and never got around to beating it.

Some mini games, crafting, player customization, random encounters, or something would go a long way to flesh the experience out.

Yeah, wasn't exactly feeling it, either.

DSIII is amazing

DSIII is amazing

You like it better than DS1? Does it have similar difficulty to DS1? Any boss fights as cool as Ornstein & Smough?

[IronMexican]

Some cool ass boss fights, and a lot of second form bosses. This one plays a lot more like BS, where dodging is more effective.

[IronMexican]

And I do.

It's my favorite from the souls series so far.

Man 2017 is such a ridiculously great year for gaming. You already have four absolute classics in Zelda BOTW, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nioh, and NieR Automata that could each win GOTY in many years (each of them would have probably been the GOTY if released in 2016 or 2014, for example). And then Persona 5 sounds like it belongs in that same class too. Then you have Red Dead Redemption 2, Middle Earth Shadow of War, and Super Mario Odyssey slated for release. Next add a couple of really interesting indie games in Cuphead and Rime that look like they'll get 2017 releases and this year just keeps looking better and better. Sadly God of War looks like it's going to be a 2018 release, but Bethesda sounds like they have a new Wolfenstein coming.

I mean they enjoyed the game a lot 10/10 9/10...but would be disappointed with no NG+ option or any post story content.

I started playing NBA playgrounds. Im torn- Its a poor man's NBA street, the execution is bad (including cringeworthy commentary), but on the other hand it has big rosters including old timers and multiple versions of players (for ex, you can use Milwaukee ray Allen or Miami ray Allen). Haven't unlocked a lot of players yet, but so far it looks like they fucked up the Spurs: saw drob, iceman, then Lma and gasol with only one other mystery (locked) player who I guess must be kawhi, which means none of the big 3 are in but Aldridge and pau are :vomit
Wish someone would make a fun casual NBA game like this, if you like basketball it's worth a rental but overall, disappointing.

[baseline bum]

I'm warming up a bit to Nioh. I was focusing too much on combat skills while ignoring magic, which is fine in the early game but makes the mid to late game really hard. After building up some magic skills the difficulty feels fair again. It's still a tough game but nowhere near what it was when I wasn't investing anything into magic.

[Cry Havoc]

What do you think of Dark Souls 1 vs 3?

It's much easier thus far, although Blightown was frustrating. I can only imagine playing DS1 back in the day... would have been a rude awakening. But it's much slower than DS3 and so far I've been able to do good work, most bosses have been fairly easy (as far as DS bosses go).

That said, the level design is mostly superior. There are a couple of really strange choices that seem disjointed or poorly designed but other than that it's brilliant.

I didn't think Blighttown was bad at all in Dark Souls 1. I thought it was much easier than the second part of the Valley of Defilement in Demon's Souls (though Dark Souls 1 was a much tougher game overall than Demon's Souls IMO).

Did you ever play Dark Souls 2? I'm not sure if I want to play Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (I heard it's better than the vanilla DS2) or DS3 after I'm done with Nioh.

SNES games have aged way better than PS1. PS1 had dogshit 3D while SNES had beautiful and colorful 2D.

I'm not even talking about Graphics, just mechanics and Story-telling.

Suikoden 2 is still the GOAT RPG in the 90's though. Shit was crack. You should give it a try with an emulator if you got time. Beautifull 2D graphics, tbh.

[apalisoc_9]

IIRC the Dragon age Guys admitted taking influence from Suikoden.

Briliant idea tbh.

You recruit characters with their own storyline connected to the main story. There's 108 characters so some are flesed out than others, but it's the game that introduced me to Side-Quest...

It was fun doing some of those side story quest and Choosing what characters to recruit..

The idea of building your own castle and army etc...damn. Was so unique in the 90s plus it was mostly politics as opposed to boy saves world that was the mainstream storyline.

[apalisoc_9]

The battle was simplistic, and honestly if you dont play it like 12 year old..the game is somewhat easy. :lol

Nevermind the fact that at least 14 or so characters are ridiculously overpowered with the right build. I remeber Valeria and Viktor would be enough to kill boses :lol..

Alsp remember limiting my party to 3 as opposed to 6...made things extremely interesting.

Has the price cratered?i got it for $200 on Amazon, which isnt terrible considering the price of most hand helds. i mostly got it for the remote play feature, which works decently but depending on the game its worthless because of the trigger/sticks being allocated to the back of the vita making it very hard to play Arkham knight because i feel like its impossible to drive/fight in the batmobile with the button layout on the vita. most amazon listings are around 200, but i've seen some random ones at 300. i also randomly found a borderlands bundle that was something like 180 i wanna say but it was out of stock so i said fuck waiting

It's basically break from action + healing. The trigger should always add to gameplay not limit it.
agree, DT is basically a means to heal in DmC unfortunately. no DT will beat DMC 2 imo, the way Dante could go Sparda mode if his health was on red was beast. too bad the rest of the game was meh

I wish these faggots had even one PS4 game on there. Right now they only have classics and PS3 games on there.

My Now sub is up in december so if by them they dont add PS4 games or indie games I'm gonna let it run out.

Unpopular opinion, but NEO devil trigger was probably the best addition to gameplay. It was fun grabbing enemies while on air and continuing to the combos. Felt like I was flying at times with NEOs DT.

Glad you think so. This game is completely going under the radar because of games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Persona 5.

Damn this game is easily a 9.5/10. To me it's a coin flip between it and Horizon for game of the year 2017, though I have only played Breath of the Wild for about an hour (it's awesome) and haven't played Persona 5 yet. I still only have the A and K endings (:lmao @ the K ending) so I'm probably not even close to done with this game yet.

I haven't even started it yet. Too busy trying to get Uncharted 4 platinum. :lol

It's been a while since I've dedicated myself to a game like this. I'll probably end up doing the same for Horizon and Nier.

I'm playing that remastered version of modern warfare...not bad tbh. Infinite warfare sucks fat cock though

The platinum is pretty easy on Horizon Zero Dawn. I think it's the only one I have (Bloodborne's platinum requires beating it three times).

Man you got a long way to go in this game. :lol

Fucking incredible playing it on a gpu like a 1060 though, am I right? This game looks so great on my 970. Must really be something uncapped with GSync.

[ElNono]

NieR should've just reloaded the last save when you die. That shit of re-spawning and then having to go get your body sucks. Now I have to quit the game and reload the save.

[apalisoc_9]

Planning on buying a PS3 and going through some games I missed out. I sold my ps3 years ago when I purchased the ps4...

This should bring back memories.

I still use my PS3 for media playing.

The PS4 is dogshit compare to the PS3 when it comes to viewing your own media on it. You cant even delete single files on the PS4.

I'm going to have to buy a PS3 as back up because the one I have is starting to miss a lot. It doesn't turn on on command, it bleeps and I have to plug the controller on so it syncs.

No idea when they're gonna get discontinued so I have to get one soon.

I think they already stopped making them. I would buy used anyways since the only ones you'd ever find on store shelves anymore are those garbage Super Slims.

LOL everyone wants to copy Dark Souls now. At least you can reload a save though. In the Souls games they don't allow that shit, the game constantly autosaves and you can only load into the last autosave.

Shit, you're right. I just read up on that.

But it seems only partly. I just checked Amazon and they still have them available new. But only slims.

I dont need them for gaming anyways. I just love the crossbar menu. I dont know why they got rid of that for the PS4.

I'll get one on my next paycheck just to be safe.

I have a PS3 and PS4. I have replaced the laser on the PS3 3 times, always seems to fail after an update...

[baseline bum]

Speaking of PS3, that's fucking annoying that you need more than double the free space of the size of any game you buy digitally. I don't think that's a problem on PS4 is it? I think I'm going to buy a 2TB drive for my PS4 and move its 500GB hard drive to my PS3.

And I finally got a good enough understanding of Gwent to win a few cards.. You were right Gwent is the shit.

Ugh, I hate the reshade mods I have seen. They completely screw up the amazing default lighting in the game. I don't get trying to make everything look realistic, it's a fairy tale game and I so much prefer playing with the original art style the devs intended.

After completing the second ending, I gotta say NieR Automata is hands down my game of the year. I never figured I'd find a 2017 game I liked better than Horizon Zero Dawn, but here we are. It's like a way better open world Bayonetta but with bullet hell shooter sections mixed in as well as a great story (though not as good as Horizon Zero Dawn's story).

[Leetonidas]

Playing ROTR...decided to get that 20 year edition for ps4. Looks pretty good on the pro on my 4k tv. Also forgot what a damn good game it is.

Have you played that metal gear game with raiden? Revengeance for the PS3. The gameplay is just like it. Fun game, shitty storyline though. Grab it if you can. Can't be more than 5 dollars at this point.

Rising is such an underrated game. :lol

The hack and slash mechanics of that game is the best in any console. Too bad the story was a joke and it was almost as long as a demo :lol

I finally started this today. So far I'm impressed. The graphics are pretty legit and the control is tight. Even better that I basically got this game for free due to a retarded promotion Gamestop was running at the beginning of the month.

Yeah man it's pretty killer. Now I'm glad I bought that pack of PS2 remasters when it was on sale for $10 a couple of weeks ago, but wish I would have bought the entire Future series too now (I only picked up Tools of Destruction).

Can't remeber what game I didn't particularly like in the ps2 days for r&c. I was way too young to remeber but i think it was the third game. I was also going back and forth betweem R&C and Jack and Daxter.

Tools of destruction is a legit 8.5 game. Not at the same level as the remaster but it has some.decent additions.

Still the same.fun game though. I remeber goong through multiple playthroughs just using different weapons.

Rime is well done. Looks like a Zelda kind of game... the thing is, it would be much more enjoyable if you're in the mood for exploring, which I was not. So I did the main story and moved on. You can play the whole game in a 5 hour session, I guess... didn't feel super long.
