I really didn't like DOW2.  They moved to this bizarre squad based game after doing so incredibly well with DOW 1.

It's like they wanted to copy Warcraft 3, which is an odd move - maybe they saw the sales and didn't realise it was DoTA that people were buying it for?

Same here. DOW was a really good traditional RTS. DOW2 lost a ton of depth over that.

"Me too!"  I'm not an RTS kinda guy at the best of times, but I actually liked DoW1.  DoW2, otoh, I didn't care for at all.  I think I played the first couple of missions of the first game and just gave up.

I liked both, but DOW 1 was better gameplay wise. DOW 2 had better story and it rode on the success of Company of Heroes. Oh well... I shall judge the final product anyway. :unsure:

I have been running a great string of games lately.  Mostly 2-2.5 KD with top of the heap scores.

Infinite Warfare is really quite fun, though I look forward to a return to the old style of play.

I tried Seven Days To Die because the Achievement hunter guys have been playing it and it's been sitting in my steam library for a few months. Ended up losing 15 hours into it. Fun, minecrafty kind of game. Really fun on a server with some good people.

After 30 years of avoiding it religiously, I have now finally become an electronic gamer (not sure of the terminology).

I've been playing Mario Kart 8 with my boys. I take it that counts as good gaming, yes? And earns me the right to join in this thread.

The best part about Deathwing was the refund.
I thought he should act responsibly and just kill himself.

Mario Kart is the highest quality kart racer. So yes.

Yeah, consensus of pretty much every review i read of it was "Could have been good, but they completely fucked it up."

I've heard that Deathwing is not bad, just really, really average. Which is actually rather bad. At least the new DLC to Vermintide rocks.

Picked up Dark Souls 2 again after having been burned out on it earlier (long game is long). Finally got that jerk Velstadt down, took me enough tries, his door guards had stopped respawning and all.

In Aldia's Keep now, got Lucatiel her stuff and Navlaan wants me to go murderize some people, which I'll pretend doing.

Darkest Dungeon's getting another update. This time we're hunting/being hunted by vampires. :icon_wink:

Also, very Warhammer looking (and thinking) enemy character in it:

I love this part:

It is not horrible, but not exactly great either. It looks great, both the surroundings, your fellow terminators and the xenos. Unfortunately, the xenos all look exactly the same- genestealer and hybrids. Granted, in the first few levels there's dark blue genestealers and later there's white ones. Noteable exception is the scythe-strain, which is a big, rat-ogre type genestealer who takes a ton of bullets to bring down, but even that one is almost indistinguishable from the broodlord.

Single-player campaign is kinda short but nonetheless fun. Multiplayer is absolutely terrible, mostly due to connectivity issues- I think that for every game I've played, there are at least four I've been disconnected from.

Also weapons are kinda underwhelming, and any progress you made with regards to leveling is lost when you exit the game. Also there's no AI director (as far as I know), and no bots during multiplayer games, so have fun soloing through a level meant for four players.

It can be fun, but it certainly has its flaws.

Sounds like a rushed game.

Got Deus Ex MD for £13 on Steam sale. Odd to see a huge and expensive game so cheap right after release.

Got a bunch of DLC's for Mordheim, including the Witch Hunters and Vampires. I'm really interested in playing those two, new campaigns.

Miscreated!

Logged in, saw a town. Entered some buildings, heard a car while eyeing several zombies. As I ran out to see if I could catch sight of it it faded into the distance. I was looking through a self storage area when I spotted a plume of smoke rising about a quarter mile off. I ran towards it, across a bridge, and found a huge windmill near where the smoke had risen. About fifty yards off, I spotted a man running.

I caught up and started shouting hello. He turned, wearing a black and orange hockey mask. He slowly raised an assault rifle and pointed at me. I begged off, saying it was a misunderstanding and that I'd go. As I backed down the path, two men appeared from the bushes behind me, also decked out in military gear.

"Well this is how my first life ends I suppose" I said.

"No you're okay bro, you're literally the first person we have met in weeks who hasn't tried to kill us," said a man with a thick Canadian accent. And so it began, my adventure with three life long friends. Chris, Derek, and Justin have been friends since they were four, 22 years ago. Their banter was a blast and they geared me up. The smoke was from a truck they had crashed so we went searching for another. After stealing a golf cart, we found a car which we fixed up and drove into the city.

We met a man. He killed Chris and stole the car. We killed a brute zombie, looted a police station, I rode a bike, we stalked some guys, legged it back to their base and the let me join their clan. These are the kinds of adventures that games like Dayz and his can produce. Good times!



The rain storm effects are terrific.  This was dusk outside a FEMA station.

Just checking out some battlefield 1 YouTube videos. This is looking really good.  I think this is my favorite gaming series of all time. Right from 1942 onwards with 2142 being my all time favourite. I wish I could convince someone in my household that this inst some devil device lol 😂
