😆 I did jump into Star Citizen last night, with the new update and all, and as expected it went almost exactly the same way as all my previous sessions: Jumped in, the usual create character, chose home planet, start, go to the spaceport, get in the ship and do a quick and easy (I thought) quest. I chose a simple investigation mission which just means flying to a cave on a moon and searching for a dead body. I did just that, found the cave, explored it until I got to a dead end and proceeded to get stuck there forever because my dude would refuse to vault over a clearly vaultable rock (marked by the usual yellow ledge). 10 out of 10. Closed the game and went to sleep.

I did see it and because of AC Mirage, I wanted to play Valhalla. I have a friend who's really a big AC fan and he kept recommending Valhalla. He just finished Mirage, says it was shorter than he expected... didn't sound too impressed.

Happy New Year everyone! Haven't been playing a lot lately, more darts practice and now we've discovered that bowling is also fun... which means even less screen time for me 😆 I did see a new play test demo of Road to Vostok. It's a real promising game but it'll be a while. The dev just finished porting what he had done before to a new engine. Looks awesome though. Other than that, I sort of fell off Tarkov and now I keep wanting to try Star Citizen again. It usually doesn't end well but who knows. Oh yeah, I've been also messing with AC Valhalla... I'd really like to get through it this time.

Edit: double post, please delete.

This was exactly my feeling too but sadly I couldn't resist and bought it on release. Couldn't refund it... one of my most regretted purchases in gaming...
-
That's a great idea. There's really no reason to keep the batteries always topped to 100%. I'll see if I can set that.

I'm back playing a game I really thought I'd never touch. I always liked the idea what Tarkov was but never particularly enjoyed getting constantly killed by high level players, groups or more importantly the huge amount of cheaters that game has. Until now. By pure randomness I learned about a huge mod which basically turns the game into a proper single player experience. It's called SPT (single player tarkov), it's free and it's awesome. It has everything the regular game has, you have progression, the usual raids, PMCs (bots), quests, everything. Don't get me wrong, it's still not easy, I'm still getting killed a lot, but it feels way more fun to me this way. Anyway, if you guys want to check it out: https://www.sp-tarkov.com/ You do need to have a legit copy of the game (the mod makes sort of an offline copy when installing).

I did the same, played it for the first few missions, explored a bit but it didn't draw me in and yes, I wanted disk space for something else...

Indeed, it's really hard to describe, you need to experience it. I played Alyx first on an old HTC Vive set, with pretty low resolution and it still felt like nothing else out there. After a full game in VR, all other "2D" games felt like going back in the past. It was quite difficult to readjust and start enjoying again games on a monitor.
-
Oh yeah, VR... I've been thinking about digging out the Index kit. It's about time for another Alyx run as well.

Once again I've started too many games and can't seem to stick to one... - Played through about 70% of Dead Island 2. I love zombie games and had a blast with this one. No idea why I just stopped playing it. - Started Diablo 4, instant regret after a few hours, unfortunately too late to refund. - Started Uncharted, fun but didn't stick with it for now. Still during the prologue. - Starfield, this was the most recent one. After about 30 hours of mainly side stories I sort of didn't feel like firing it up again. I'd like to stick to this one. On top of all these, now I keep thinking about trying Assassins Creed: Mirage. Not sure yet. May or may not do it.

lol, no no, all good. Completely forgot about posting an update here. I ended up buying a new pack from amazon. I couldn't find anything useful on HP website and I really did not want to deal with their customer support considering the laptop is way out of warranty anyway. All went well, I opened it up and replaced the swollen pack. Works like new, the case is not warped anymore, the touchpad is flush and working. We'll see how long this one lasts.
-
Unfortunately not, I'm on PC only. If there's something else you like, maybe some shooter/fps/battle royale game which has crossplay, I'd be happy to team up sometimes.

I haven't fired it up in about a week now. Other IRL stuff going on. I'm focusing more on darts practice. I was at about 33 hours in but haven't touched the main story too much. After getting the first... ...I got side tracked with other missions and just played randomly. Not sure about the rating, maybe 7 out of 10 sounds right, I don't know yet. It's hard to overlook some of the design choices they made. Being a space game with a big focus towards ships and not being able to fly manually in the atmosphere is really my biggest complaint.

Cool, I never realized that. If I recall right I played Skyrim mostly solo. I liked the sneak damage boost a lot.

Talk to her, select the option to trade stuff and see the button assignments there, you need to switch to your inventory, the select the gun you want to give her and press trade, I think it's "E". Then you need to switch back to her inventory and with that weapon selected, one button will have the "equip" option, I think "B", not sure. Don't forget to give her at lease one round of ammo for that particular gun. It really isn't straight forward... took me a while and a few tries to figure this out. I gave her one of those guns with a lot of laser lights coming out of it, not sure what's it called. Insane fire rate. She mows down everything now, I rarely have to do any serious work while she's around.

I'm starting to think this is going to be quantity over quality. As much as I'd like this to not be the case, it's beginning to feel a bit repetitive: new mission - loading screen travel to another landing spot, run 200m, kill some baddies, maybe explore a base, press a button, loading screen travel back to quest giver. This exact pattern is repeating for most side quests so far. A few major faction questlines are indeed more varied but I don't think there are too many of those (so far I only found the Terrormorph story and the pirates). Wondering what other bigger factions are there and how to not miss important side storylines without reading online... The main story so far is running around talking to new recruitable npcs and gathering artefacts.
-
No, unfortunately I haven't touched my VR set in over a year now. I got a shiny new Index right before we moved from TX to WA and it's still sitting in its box.
-
I don't think I bought any guns, I'm using what I pick up and has the most damage and I have the most ammo for. I keep switching. I do like pistols so I maxed out that skill and I'm currently using a tiny handgun for everything (about 70dmg). I'm level 22 right now. On another note, I want to replay (yet again, I think the 7th time the Deus Ex games). Sam Coe in Starfield has the same voice actor that did Adam Jensen. I absolutely love that voice and I can't not think of Deus Ex every single time he opens his mouth 😆
-
Oh that... well, I think then you may need to do some more side missions. Or find better guns. I didn't feel at all that mission as being too difficult. I did also let Kaiser do most of the work and I just jumped around when baddies came too close to me. I wasn't the main damage dealer. One more, I also had Sarah with me and I had given her a really good gun. Give her the best gun you have, with the highest fire rate and you only need to give her 1 bullet. She then fires indefinitely.
-
Wait wait wait, which part of the whole Terrormorph questline are you talking about? The very first section where you have to face a single one alone? If yes, that is supposed to be done with minimal gunfight from your part. Load an earlier save and listen to everything the girl tells you. Ignore the Terrormorph at first and focus on powering the things up, then make it chase you to one of those lighted corridors.
-
Indeed. I miss that first Alyx experience... I also said right after I was done with it that it takes gaming to a completely new level. Exactly as cylix said above, I loved the loading/aiming, all the interactions. After I had finished it, I was seeing headcrabs jump out of everywhere in real life for a while 😆
-
oh 2.0, nice! Is there a short TLDR of what's included in the update?
-
You can't just throw that out there without some context. Come on, tell us more, what does a cleaning technician do? Any exciting stories? 🙂
-
I'm still not done with the pirate mission, to be honest I think I'm starting to like them more than the UC guys who sent me in. I'm turning 😆 I think I'm close though, I just found the thing they were looking for all along... not going to say what to not spoil it.
