Timotheus 416 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I just realised I suck at playing console games. Whoever decided I need to use two joysticks AND the buttons, preferably all at the same time, clearly overestimated my abilities. Lol. Bad luck for my Nathan Drake games, but those are going up for sale again. 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,071 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 A few of my friends and even my cousins are huge fans of COD ... a d d i c t i o n... maybe theres some other kinds of angles on console games that could be fun? I'm actually just waiting out the end of Season 20 for D3 ... looking forward to starting up the new GOD DH build... looks just stunning I think new seaons stating in next few weeks...i just look at this delicious gorgeous mayhem... it soooo relaxes me!

I recently finished the first three and have the fourth ready to go. Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) There's something about having to use two joysticks man... I really enjoy messing about in single player D3 on my PS4 and played PoE for a bit as well. Plus the occasional race game of course. But these games, my brain just will not let me Edited June 26, 2020 by Timotheus Link to comment

I completely agree, mouse input is so much easier. I definitely had violent urges towards the controller in some parts of the games, but I think I ended up lowering difficulty for those areas and then raising it again after. For any real FPS like COD, battlefield etc. I wouldn't even try! Link to comment
gogoblender 3,071 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 And.. I've just been gifted this this morning... apparently Schot and a small gang of (three of them max six) complete addicts are playing this online... didnt even know that was possible?? Heres a quick trailer... will report back gogo Link to comment
D-molisher 9 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Currently playing DDo hardcore with my discord gang, mostly cause its free this summer. Doing a light caster FVS, since bards are hmm squishy for HC and need some proper gear and a steady team. Bards are mostly party buffers / CC, and not balanced for most people, cause off the nerfs to bards I caused over the last 12 years. Link to comment
D-molisher 9 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) There was alot off unthought synergis and unintended stuff I did. Translate into I probably had too much fun, and greatly unbalanced the game buffing raid partys. And being able to fascinate any moster cause off too low tier things inthe 3 sub class skill trees. I only go spell singer in Hardcore, the 2 other subclass are close combat with low defence skill. Warchanter are ice flavor close combat 1 or 2 h weapons + CC, too squishy for HC. Swashbuckler are 1 h + shield and close combat + coup de grace ( assasinate skill ) + CC, also too squishy for HC. Spell singer are caster + CC, ranged caster way safer. Or just fascinate stuff while invissible- if in trouble. Also the hp regen song and the sp regen song from level 8 / 12 and caster buffing songs. Edited July 4, 2020 by D-molisher Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I found a stupid little game to play for a bit. Barn Finders. It's nothing special, but a break from my usual games. Took advantage of a sale. And with the Steam sales I've picked up Civ6 (vanilla), Sacred 3 (I know) and Bayonetta. Quite interested in testing Civ and Bayonetta. And I think I need to have given S3 a try, at the very least lol. 1 Link to comment
BardicAnne 6 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Sacred 2 when my hubby is on the ps4, Everspace Stellar Ed when I get to play. Im kind of a sucker for rogue-lites and have a huge passion for the cosmos so its a natural fit. Link to comment
Perdition 10 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Been playing Chronicon lately. Seriously addictive little game. Its pretty much a real-time rogue-like with retro graphics. Has one of the better enchantment systems I've seen in these type of games (probably makes it too easy to get perfect gear though, but I don't really care). Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Well I gave Civ6 a go, no dice. Not a game for me, very micro-manage-y. Played too long to get a refund though. Turns out Barnfinders somehow makes me nauseous while playing it for extended periods of time? Really weird. Maybe it's some FoV issue or something. I am actually trying to play through the SP campaign of Sacred 2 with a BFG Seraphim. Never played the campaign, never played the Seraphim, whaddayaknow!

Perdition 10 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Civ 6 I didn't find terribly enjoyable. Still strangely addictive though. Civ 4 is the highlight of that series for me. Link to comment

I played 50 or sixty levels with that BFG earlier.. hugely satisfying... those balls of sizzling lightning traveling across the screen are never tiring...

Hooyaah 2,827 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 I decided to live my dream and become a Formula 1 driver for the Mercedes AMG Petronas Racing Team. Well, "virtually," of course. It is indeed possible to play F1 2020 with an XBOX controller for PC. This is the first racing game that I have played except the old arcade game, Pole Position, and I have only been doing speed trials like this for about fourteen hours. I finally stepped up from the Formula 2 cars to Formula 1, here is my results. I am really beginning to enjoy this sim and I recommend it highly. 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Hooyaah 2,827 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2020 This is my first actual race playing F1 2020 and it's a bit of a challenge navigating the track at speeds up to nearly 300 KPH. I think that I did okay for a beginner (driving car #2) with only eighteen hours of time at the game doing speed trials. Y'all get outta muh way! 1 1 Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 That looks awesome! You know what Hooyah? I've been looking at racing games for a few months now and racing setups are SOOO tempting to give it a try, with a steering wheel though! I wouldn't want to try a non-arcade racer with a controller. I've been oogling second hand offers of the Playseat Challenge to have a nice, compact setup. But maybe I just need to get my hands on a nice starter steering wheel. It sucks that I have a PS4 and PC though, since steering wheel compatibility between the two sometimes ends up being proper weird on the PC side where the steering wheel will have it's buttons switched. That actually made me buy an aftermarket Xbox controller to play Sacred 3 (I tried the Dual Shock controller but that was really awkward with PS4 muscle memory). Link to comment
Hooyaah 2,827 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 I believed the same thing and was planning to get a racing wheel controller. However, the best setup is with a racing seat, pedals and the wheel, of course. A simple racing wheel would have to be mounted so as not to move around on your desk and the pedals on the floor would move forward on braking unless it's secured against the wall in front or on a thick carpet which, over time would experience wear. A decent, workable, and durable setup is quite expensive and requires a significant amount of floor space. Rather than invest my cash on such a set up, for the time being, at least, I intend to get a Razer Wildcat eSports Customizable Premium Controller when I can find one in stock. It seems that because of the Covid-19 lock-down a record number of people are gaming and buying PCs, components, games, and accessories. This is a reason why it's difficult to obtain the latest Nvidia GPUs. EDIT: I was doing some additional investigating and I believe that I have settled on the Razer Wolverine Ultimate. It has some additional buttons and features that I appreciate. 1 Link to comment

Popular Post Hooyaah 2,827 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2020 Yes, I can see where F1 2020 could get pricey and ridiculously expensive.

Popular Post Hooyaah 2,827 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2020 The New Controller (pictured by Gogo in the post above) does indeed improve game-play. It's easier to handle the car and it also had many additional buttons that may be assigned. I posted a fast lap even before I learned the track here at Bahrain. My RGB is set to the exact color of the font that you are reading just now. I wish that Sacred 2 had controller support! 1 1 Link to comment
Daedalus 88 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Right now, testing the Baldur's gate 3 prerelease version made me want to try (again) Divinity 2 also by Larian. Granted, despite the bugs, the new Baldur's gate is very promising. However, after seeing that only act I is available, I prefer to reserve myself and wait a little to see how long it would take them to release chapter II (the whole game is apparently around 1 year away). So, to keep being patient, I am getting my RPG fix by playing Divinity2 1 Link to comment

Timotheus 416 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Alright I might follow @Hooyaah's footsteps. Albeit in a different way. I put in an offer on a second hand Logitech G29. Might be able to pick that up somewhere in the upcoming weeks. Considering that between GoG and Steam I still have the following games "lying around" I should have some fun: Dirt Rally F1 2018 Grid 2 Race driver: Grid 1 Link to comment
