excellent.
just finished Shadow Warrior, thoroughly enjoyed it. a surprisingly poignant end though for a game in which you spend your time slicing body parts off daemons. rather nice end theme too

Ahhh, Resident Evil.
Loooong time since I last played (the superb GameCube version) and it's still great fun. Save system is taking a bit of getting used to of course - I think we've been horribly spoiled by auto save games!
Right. Off to take down that sodding shark.

Bioware fashion show, excellent
continuing my mission of adding games to my library for a few pounds each, I picked up Ryse. Unfortunately just a bit bland. looks nice, but every single enemy is killed essentially the same way, and with a quick time event execution. there isn't much variation, and by the end of the first mission you are already sick of seeing them. it was going to be a kinect game, and they ditched that at the last minute and just went with standard controls. whilst waving your arms about stabbing people would have been fun, with a control pad it just lacks depth.
Also bought Spec Ops the line, one of last gen's finest shooters. but the Steam code I ordered on ebay wont work over here, and the seller is wanting me to jump through a ridiculous number of hoops for a £2.99 key. screenshot of the error message, screenshot of my steam library, of my list of licenses, of my IP address, all to confirm I really haven't used it.
Its all BS to avoid paying out, there was a thread on r/pcmr not long back about someone having same problem with a much higher priced game. Is there not a cheap copy on GOG?
should be getting a refund soon, I think they were genuinely trying to find a solution, but it was rather misguided as I had already shown it didn't work over here. there is no way round that basic point. picked it up for £3.20 from another seller.
I do have a sexy new mouse though
Attachment 17929
how does that mouse even work?
Same as a normal mouse, just your hand is in a more natural position without twisting your bones
hmmm
it was £9.99, really nice to use
I've got a SteelSeries mouse, made for WoW around the time of Cataclysm, similar concept. It's pretty good sized, and has a comfortable area to rest the thumb in. Makes playing anything great.Quote:

(Same with the Cata mouse, but it's got something like thirteen buttons or so.)
Meanwhile, my dad had a Razer mouse that might be nice, but wasn't nearly as comfortable to use.
That comfort will pay off in the long run, especially at that price!
TFW a game i like gets released on a platform I actually own:

Nice.:p
Rumour God of War 4 is leaving Greek Mythology....and moving to Norse.
Believe it when I play it.
Just like assassins creed it will still be essentially the same button bashing gameplay.
But....I effing love button bashers, me.
Yeah they bore me senseless
Oh good, it will be interesting to see how many ways they find to degrade the valkyries and any goddesses they decide to include.Quote:

I've seen the monster in the bay! I'll get round to going for a proper look at some point.
Started the mechanicist quest. Loving the robot building, and the attitude from robot personalities :D
Also heard an interesting rumour, development of fallout 5 was started at the same time as 4.
The only thing that disappoints me with the robots is that they don't properly work stores, even though they can be assigned to them. I assume since they're auto-assigned themselves to work crops*, they at least function for creating food, even if they're not animated properly for it. But I'm just really depressed Bob the Bartender can't actually serve drinks. Still, if you're okay with using robots for manual labor, you can build them and assign them to crops, salvage, stuff that you don't have to interact with the person working it, and that frees up basic settlers to go work the shops.
I decided to give Survival Mode a try, but right now it's just not for me. Constant nagging to eat, drink, or sleep. No save unless you sleep, so you're constantly looking for a bed for your character to rest to save. (Oh, and you can't rest more than 5 hours in a bed that isn't "clean," so basically long rests have to be in settlements.) The first time I died, it was a freak accident fighting the Deathclaw in Concord, where a Raider was still alive, shot up a nearby car, it blew up and killed me (even with power armor). Ended up having to restart from Red Rocket. Then I died to the two bloodbugs, because one got attached to me, which nearly killed me right off, and one more hit did it. Then I survived them, but the Raiders would take me out in just two shots. Meanwhile, trying to hit anything was a mess, and it felt like I wasn't doing nearly as much damage as they were doing to me. Add in the lowered carry limit, and even power armor doesn't help (which seems like it has to be a bug, not a feature, with power armor), and it just becomes an exercise in extreme frustration. Even having pumped up Strength and Endurance with a Toughness perk already (and the first perk of fewer rads from food/water) weren't helping.
I think it'll be a lot more fun once it's released officially, and modders can get in there and tweak it. I like the concept, but right now it feels like playing Dark Souls wouldn't be 1/10 as frustrating. (I should probably try that, some time. Apparently Dark Souls was a free game on XBox at some point, so I have it, but never got around to playing it.)
* Let me set a slightly amusing picture with robots working crops: I built a robot with an Assaultron chassis, but using all the spiked and brutal looking armor, with the skull face (made with actually skull, I'm sure). Armed it with two Shishkebabs. It looks like a terrifying nightmare 'bot with always flaming swords. And yet it's working my crops.

Oh, also, spoilery for anyone who hasn't finished the main quest, so I'll put it in white.
My first character took Shaun the child Synth home with her (she's fighting for Synths to be treated right, after all, and it's designed to resemble the son she lost). When you talk to him at your settlement, he'll sometimes ask you to find specific pieces of junk. Turn them in to him, wait a while, and he'll ask you for more while presenting what he built with the old stuff. He turned a camera into some gun mods, and then asked for an alarm clock (and my mind of course turned to the kid who brought a clock to school)... which he somehow turned into a "Wazer Wifle" (not kidding, that's the name) that never runs out of ammo. Um... how the hell did he turn an alarm clock into a sophisticated laser rifle?!?
My latest character, being hardcore BoS and not a fan of synths, heartlessly turned down Synth Shaun's pleas while evacuating the set-to-explode Institute. I felt a little bad, but, well, that's the character I set for him. Still didn't feel as bad as what happened with Danse. Ouch.
lols I currently have
ADA - a assaultron top half, with laser head and gatling lasers that follows me on a mr handy bottom
Jezzabel - a robobrain body on a mr handy bottom with basic arms
curie - upgraded her basic form to the hydralic versions for extra carrying and a damage resistance field
I'm going to see if I can give codsworth a sentrybot body and more dakka.

quite right too
started Dark Souls 2 about four times in the past, never got in to it the way I did 1 or Bloodbourne. decided to give it another go today before 3 comes out on Tuesday, kicking its' *** now I finally got past the second boss and can press on. so satisfying when it works, and keeps you so tense all the way through.
That mod caused a minor argument, while I agree with you, I was told "it doesn't matter" it doesn't matter? what kind of monster am I seeing?Quote:

But Oberland station now has a nice bar. And I went to tweak the hangman's ally supply route and got a bloody synth infiltrator attack, so now I need to move a new body there to man my artillery.
Now that I can build robots I've got a senty bot with assaultron head and all the extra storage running supplies from greygarden - because "immersion" and I'm going to fully expand it into a full 20 body settlement of all robots :D

I've heard a lot of good things about the female armour in Dark Souls III, apparently its identical to the male armour and not even slightly sexualized or made for the male gaze.
what's the point then? :rolleyes:
:D
yup, identical in all the souls games for your character. can't wait to get home and play. must be responsible though and go for my run first... then I can go crazyQuote:

Humble Bundle's latest bundle is a Telltale Games bundle:
[url]https://www.humblebundle.com/telltale-bundle[/url]
If you like adventure games, it's a good grab. Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Sam & Max, Wolf Among Us, Tales From the Borderlands, some other stuff.
The other current bundle isn't bad either, got a kind of mixed bag of games, but there's some good ones in there, some stuff that looks fun.
put a few hours in to Dark Souls last night, absolutely beautiful. 1 and 2 didn't look great even when they launched, but 3 is amazing. also rock hard. not even a few areas of introductory enemies, it goes almost straight in to a boss fight (did it first time without being hit) then the first main area is full of elite enemies, a dragon, and gribbly monsters.
Had a couple of hours on Shogun 2 last night as a break from wandering the wasteland. The rival factions seem a lot more aggressive than I remember. Several clans have been wiped out already. Two out of my four immediate neighbours declared war on me straight away. One was wiped by the other though as well. I captured a castle town on the first turn with the starting troops. And then successfully defended it several times, killing the enemy daimyo twice.
Just building the economy a bit, then going to push onto the next town with some quality troops.
Starfox out this Friday, very much looking forward to it.
I might have to put that one off for another month
