What games are you playing?

I remember the tactic my dad used that I copied for the final level, which was the same for every faction.

Single line of 15 sonic tanks. and moving them forward 1 block at a time. EZ win
There's also a level where you could turret creep all the way.

Dune 2000 is more or less the proper sequel to Dune II, most of all is the same. Although I love playing Ordos in Dune 2000 because of the smugglers that help you. Building a wall around them and they keep producing units, then unleash the horde!

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is going to release in a few days and the PC reviews look good:

No absurd technical issues mentioned anywhere, which is worth noting these days.

I'm looking forward to this too. I hope the DX12 update that happens in ~ 1 month helps add to the performance.

CrossCode and loving it so far.

Started my "second" run of Undertale yesterday. That game gets even better after beating it the first time, and the ending was phenomenally weird.

CrossCode and loving it so far.

That game has a very cool trailer:


Is it as satisfying to play as it looks? Any info when it'll come out of early access?

 

[GuilleAcoustic]

Can't wait for CrossCode to be released on Linux.

This reminds me, the DX12 update with AMD multi-GPU support has been released this week, Nvidia support is supposed to follow soon. This shouldn't have taken months after the release...

It already is via Steam (Early Access): http://store.steampowered.com/app/368340/ The game is just a nw.js application.

Can't wait to have 20€ now . This will give me enough time to re-finish Breath of Fire IV.

It is also DRM free from Steam as well according to the devs.

 

[BirdofPrey]

Steam IS DRM

 

[QinX]

I've been playing some occasional Doom campaign but mostly I've been doing a game of Rimworld again.

 

[iFreilicht]

Steam IS DRM

Not necessarily. There are quite a few games on steam that don't require you to have it running to play them and you can just copy their files to another pc to play it there.

I started playing Battlefield 1 since last weekend. I've started playing the Battlefield games since BF3, I've spent quite some time with BF3 (<200h) and BF4 (<400h). Regretably the same frustrating aspects are still in the game or have come back:
- often times atleast half of the people don't play the objectives (excluding snipers)
- when your side doesn't work together, it's gg for the other team
- spawning near a squad member for most game modes is basically a dice roll with the odds not in your favor
- network latency regularly 3-4 times as high as I generally have in other games
- no easy/clear way to report cheaters, inappropriate content or behavior
- balancing issues with weapons and vehicles

I'm not sure I'll be hitting a 100h game time with this one.

I've also started playing Black Mesa, the Half-Life remake in Source engine, with upgraded textures, models, level detail, physics, sound and even the soundtrack. It's an amazing blast to play this old school classic with a much more timely look and feel.

Yeah I saw that in the past, but I don't want to play it until it's declared finished and I can be sure that I won't miss anything that will be added after I played it.

 

[Phuncz]

What I understand, the only thing missing is Xen, which is the last part of the game. I'm going to stop when I reach that point. But I follow your sentiment, I've had it in my wish list for a while because of that reason.

There's a web demo available on their website that you can play around in.

The demo was pretty fun and felt very solid to play, so I'm very tempted to pay for early access. That being said, from their changelog it doesn't seem like it'll come out of early access anytime soon.

Just beat Prison Architect.
It was surprisingly addicting and pretty short but sweet.

Now it's time to move on to Wolfenstein: The New Order.

 

[Phuncz]

Prison Architect is amazing, I wished they'd continue development on it and released more content. Steam Workshop though.
I also have Wolfenstein: The New Order in the pipeline, it was on my wishlist for a few years and this week it was reduced in price heavily. I've also gotten No Man's Sky after again a discount but mainly the content update and Banished. I won't get bored these holidays !
