Destiny 2 has me hooked, there's a LOT of improvements over the first game.

yeah there's a review somewhere titled "It's Destiny, without the bullshit", which is really apt. No fat, just straight to the chase.

There's some annoying issues here and there, and I'm not sure how I feel about it for casual pvp, but otherwise a vast improvement.

just started divinity original sin 2, which comes out of early access tommorow. so far seems as fun and challenging as the first one. 

 

i appreciate you for appreciating premium pc gaming in this thread that's been overtaken by console trash. the first game's tactical/rpg gameplay was probably the best in genre, and i do remember putting many hours into it. but something about the story click and the general cutesy tone just didn't feel right, it began feeling like a drag after a while and i didn't feel compelled to finish it, it just didn't engage on that level like witcher 3 managed to do. i will try this new one though, hopefully they improved in this regard, because gameplay wise it was pretty much perfect.

*clicks*

Ordered Wolfenstein and Doom for console and I am now looking forward to playing them both on console with a controller in my hands.

Should I start out with Wolfenstein or Doom on my Playstation console when I get them in the mail on physical media?

I'm waiting for the PC port. Any idea why the shit they didn't come out at the same time? =/

im only 4 hours in, but the story does seem a little darker. there isnt any voice acting on the early access either, so it has less of a specific tone to it. this time its not so much the undead as the threat but a fascist group of anti-sourcerors. using source appears to be a new combat mechanic which you a start off blocked from using due to a prisoner collar type thing, but im sure it will get taken off later on. 

also they've fixed the inventory system so its not a pain in the arse to figure out which characters are best suited to a certain item. that got a little bit tedious having to flick between each character on the first one. 

I just beat Titanfall 2. Pretty awesome single player campaign. I like the gameplay mechanics a lot. Definitely enjoyed playing as the player more than the Titan though.

I postponed Hitman because my internet connection was out. Going to get back into that now.

Yeah, idk I wish they didn't just come out at the same time... Boo ordered for PC and I've been stuck playing with the headphones on until October as to not spoil anything for her before it comes out.

It really is a huge improvement gameplay-wise. The main campaign and additional "adventures" are REALLY well done this time.  With a ton of end-game missions and content the first game lacked. There's still a need to grind a bit, but it's done in a much more streamlined and less tedious way, just play and do the normal stuff and you'll be rewarded basically rather than having to spend hours and hours gathering a stupid mineral.

The public events and in-game clan systems work well to get people playing together, I've already found a decent clan to play with.

Also the sound design and scoring is really well done, the contextual music is implemented really well and the guns and aliens sound great!

I'm also getting hooked on Destiny 2. It's a good game.

Bought a steam link on sale a while ago and just got around to hooking it up (wired on cat6). Works better than I thought, only noticable frame loss is on games my PC kinda struggles with anyway, otherwise does great at 1080p. Good deal.

Wolfenstein, Doom was okay but has like zero replay value.

I'm playing Wolfenstein atm. It's cool. Not bothering with stealth though. Stealth is a waste.

no idea how you are supposed to finish either of those games on the hardest setting with a controller. its like playing an FPS with a mouse after 5 beers and a line of ketamine. 

Okay.

You need another line of ketamine

Well yeah despite perfectly knowing that FPS with controllers isn't really the best thing, I'm really excited about the Doom port coming on Switch ! It looks like it will be pretty close to the PS4 graphic quality too which is just great.

Tried The Division on a free weekend, might buy it now. Mindless but fun (or fun because it's mindless?). Playing on PC with a PS3 controller, the best way to play PC games.

Doom on ultra in 144hz is eyemelting.

Dishonored 2 is a really nice potpourri of stealth elements and high budget world building a là bioshock infinite. Shooting guards in the butt with sleeping darts has never been funnier. I even knocked a guard out from a distance, not knowing that he had been priming a grenade which blew him and his buddy to smithereens. Priceless!

Still keep losing all of my saves in XCOM 2: WotC every time I exit to the desktop. Makes the campaign basically unplayable. Firaxis need to hurry up and patch this shit.

But I did pick up Shadowrun Returns for Android. Pretty cool so far. It's like one of the original Fallout games in a hybrid cyberpunk/fantasy setting, but with movement and cover interface nearly identical to the new XCOMs. I think the original Shadowrun came out in 1994 for SNES but I've never actually played it.

EDIT: Finally fixed the problem above. My antivirus was blocking the application that creates the saves, so I switched it to Allow. Ended up having to uninstall and reinstall the game first though before I started getting the actual message.

Made an attempt at the raid with my clan last night in Destiny 2...

Fun attempt but fuck me, the garden area is tough as hell, those fucking dogs are ridiculous! We ran out of time for the night before we were able to finish unfortunately but I'm all the more determined to beat it eventually... Maybe this next weekend.
