flameboy Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Erm, Sunday night's okay for me, but Friday and Saturday aren't - pretty much any weeknight should be good though. And yes, headsets are best by far! Maybe we can even reignite O_W's addiction. ok Sunday night is 100% good for me!
Supergrunch Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 ok Sunday night is 100% good for me! Sunday it is then! Don't believe Magnus' lies.
flameboy Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Just want to give a big shout out to @Supergrunch for putting up with my terrible Dota playing for 2 matches. Didn't help that I had to take two phone calls during. All very confusing but my intrigue has not diminished and I am definitely going to stick at it.
Strider Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Has anyone being paying any attention to WildStar? - A new mmorpg created by a lot of ex-blizzard guys apparently. There's a lot of beta keys floating around for this weekends closed beta, might be worth a punt?
Sméagol Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 There´s an oldskool style point & click adventure on Steam called [Heroine´s quest: the herald of Ragnarok] I´ve been playing for an hour or so, but the game definitely has charm. Oh and it´s free.

drahkon Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 The Diablo 3 Expansion (Reaper of Souls) is out. Naturally, my mate and I played for 4 1/2 hours straight. Good times
gekko Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Early access has been out for Elder Scrolls Online for the last few days and is on general release tomorrow. I've been playing for a couple of days now and am really enjoying it (also took part in the two of the betas too). I'm an ES fan but am completely new to MMOs so don't really have a clue about that aspect of the game. As a result, in the betas I just found myself questing rather than hooking up with other players so will need to try and break out of that.
Agent Gibbs Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 didn't you find it a little boring and devoid of content in the beta? i took part in two weekends and eventually gave up, combat was watered down skyrim and there was no benefit to partying up and the cost...christ its expensive per month
Cube Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I've also been playing Elder Scrolls Online. Great so far. Combat is miles better than any other MMO, especially after they added collision.
Sheikah Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I played the beta of that. Surprised me how much it appeared like TES, but not sure how arsed I can be with an MMORPG anymore. Dat grind.
Cube Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I like taking it slowly and exploring, so the grind isn't really much of an issue (unlike The Old Republic, where I just wanted to go through the story quickly).
gekko Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 It's definitely improved a bit since the beta. I'm no MMORPG expert, so the fact that it's so similar to Skyrim is a plus for me as it makes the learning curve easier. I'm still getting to grips with the MMO elements - have applied to join my first guild, so we'll see how that works out. I'm also happy to take it slowly and just explore lots. Not really that interested in how quickly I can reach level 50. I'm still at level 4 and completing the starter island quests. They seem to have added some better items earlier in the game than were present in the beta, which should help with crafting progression. It's a bit having to redo a load of quests I already completed in the beta but the fact that I know what to do in those quests means I can concentrate on getting to grips with other elements of the game. So far, so good.
Cube Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 It's a bit having to redo a load of quests I already completed in the beta That's why I didn't pick the alliance I wanted in the beta. I have a different starting area and quests.
Sméagol Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 For those of you who don´t have too much trouble with Origin, and don´t own Deadspace, you can download it now for free. Apparently, there´s no catch, apart from downloading and using Origin that is.
The Bard Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Looking at the recommended watch dogs specs and wondering how long my i5 2500k is going to be competitive this generation. I did find the eight core cpu recommendation a little ridiculous to be honest - hoping it'll scale fine to a quad core. For those of you who don´t have too much trouble with Origin, and don´t own Deadspace, you can download it now for free. Apparently, there´s no catch, apart from downloading and using Origin that is. Really good move on EA's part, everyone with a half decent PC should get on this. Although a caveat; it plays a lot better with a controller.
Agent Gibbs Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 the specs are crazy for a game i suspect will come out looking like GTA 4, and we all know what a mess that was on PC when it came out
The Bard Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Well I just bought a new GPU. MSI Twin Frozr R9 290 should pretty much set me up for 1080p gaming this entire gen. The thing about PC gaming though, is that I don't have any friends that are PC gamers, and there are barely any people on this forum either who prefer to get multi-platform releases on PC. I'm kind of getting sick of jumping into Planetside or Titanfall by myself. If any of you guys play frequently, hit me up my Steam and Origin Ids are both Audioserf. Playing FPS just isn't the same unless you got someone to shoot the shit with. Both literally and figuratively.
gaggle64 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Heads up: There's a half-price sale on everything Battlefield except BF4 premium content on Origin for PC download. BF3 premium for £12.49? Yes please.
The Bard Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Is BF4 even worth getting if you already have BF3 Premium?
gaggle64 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 It depends how much you're willing to spend and how badly you want the latest BF experience. Me? I'm happy to lag at least a couple of years behind until they go back to a less exorbitant pricing model (fingers crossed for Bad Company 3).
flameboy Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 I got gifted Goat Simulator such dumb fun...not sure how much longevity the game has and the fact it's just a one hit joke essentially but still fun to play.
bob Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Well it's only £6 I think, so if you get a few hours out of it is reasonably good value. If they release the multi-player it'll increase the longevity too.
Captain Falcon Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 I'll throw it here since there isn't a dedicated thread for it. I beat the final boss on Borderlands 2 last week at level 36. I have done all the mission in the main game I can find except the last round of the Hyperion Slaughterdome and the newly acquired, level 50 You Will Die Seriously quest. What I haven't done yet is touch any of the DLC. Given how the major DLC scales, two up to 30 and the other two up to 35, is it worth playing them now or just go onto True Vault Hunter Mode and do them then when the will be at my current level instead?
gaggle64 Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Today's Steam special is Rising Storm for 75% off (less than £4) and free to play for the next few hours, which includes both Rising Storm (Pacific theatre) and also the Red Orchestra 2 multipalyer. I would urge all everyone to try it at least once, it's a brutal experience for up to 64 players with a ridiculous amount of content they keep adding to but never charge for plus a dedicated community which will still be there until the next Ostfront/Red Orchestra gets released. It's the anti-Battlefield.
