That daily game progress thread...

[Jkmetal23]

Puzzle agent 2 down. Sleeping dogs next. I'm just going for the story missions and I'm not super interested in the side missions atm. Already more than halfway done.

Really enjoying playing with the Steam Link. When games work it is flawless. Can't get Dark Souls 3 working though for some reason.

Hey did you ever work on getting Dark Souls 3 to run correctly with the Steam Link? I am actually having a problem too, upon launching I hear audio but just get a white screen on the client machine.

I researched and others suggested setting Dark Souls 3 to windowed mode but it didn't help for me. This Reddit thread seemed to have the most promising suggestion, changing a few In Home Streaming settings but still didn't help for me but maybe you can give it a try:

I will give it a try later, but Yeah so far nothing has worked. Ironic steam advertises this game with the link. Shame because every other game works, but THIS is the one game I actually would love to work.

Yeah, just one other thing I noticed while researching, some posts from several different people reporting the problem around fall of last year say it was working fine then one day suddenly the problem started. Sounds like there was a Steam update, game patch, or driver release that may have caused this.

If I get some more free time this weekend I'll try to work on it some more.

[Lazy8s]

Still doing Prey - I can't seem to put this game down. I'm about halfway through the second run, but now friendly turrets are turning on me because I'm too alien lol.

This game is amazing.

[KAC]

Started playing some crappy walking simulators and my God are they awful. I am playing Everybody boned in the rupture and it is just retarded. Walking at snail mail pace and just listening into some British retardation.
I give it a 2/10. I will finish it though so I can just delete it off my PS4.

Similarly, SOMA is such retardation. Stupid encounters where you can't do **** about anything and just reading and unlocking stuff. There is no challenge, no intrigue, not even a decent story. Just walking around in environments that make me feel like playing a sci fi shooter from 2007/08 without the MOTHER****ING GUNS. I will finish it though since people like it and I want to know the level of their retardation and the urgency to give them a lobotomy.

Also finally getting some time in MEA. Saved some Angara bitch from a facility and opted to destroy the damn thing. Kett are Angara gone bad. Wow, such nice storyline. I want to smack someone in their balls for that.

I think I will just pick up Mad Max and finish off the main missions in it. At least that game has something to offer.

Also did one more mission in Halo Wars. I liked it.

[KAC]

Finished everybody's gone to the rupture. 2/10.

[Jkmetal23]

Yeah a pretty game that had interesting story with assine mechanics. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Just watch it on youtube.

I feel ya on the walking simulators, I hate them. On the other hand for some reason I liked soma. Can totally understand someone hating it though.

There's a popular mod for SOMA called Monster's Don't Attack which can make the game enjoyable for those who don't like the running/hiding aspect.

From the Kotaku article: "This addon renders nearly all enemies in the main story non-hostile during regular gameplay. Surprisingly, it completely changes the atmosphere of the game, often for the better, since the servants of the WAU quietly patrolling the abandoned halls of Pathos-2 have a chilling poignance to them."

If you're in the mood for a walking simulator try Life is Strange, it's the best game in that genre by a mile.

[RAY16]

Replaying the original Splinter Cell, currently about a mission and a half away from the end of the game (not counting the three bonus missions).

Playing with shadow buffer effects enabled thanks to the dgVoodoo2 wrapper, as well as a widescreen fix and higher resolution textures.

[KAC]

I don't want Monsters to not attack. I want to be able to repay in kind. Sneaking about is just a bit retarded. Either way, I don't know what I will play next. Due to my ever increasing anxiety, I can't focus on anything and end up playing bits of too many games.

Right now it is between Halo Wars, MEA, SOMA, Prey and Dishonored 2. Taking baby steps in each of these games.

Have you never played Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the Outlast games, or Alien: Isolation?

[KAC]

Was doing a non lethal play through but was choking a guy and an idiot came and sliced him. Guess what playthrough I am doing now in Dishonored 2. . Sliced up all the guys thereafter and now it seems I am the bad guy.

Again the game literally breaks in Rambo mode. I am so OP and I just finished chapter 1 and got on a boat. LOL.

[MNB4800]

More FF9 and also started FF6. Don't ask me why but I am so deep into FF mood lately.

[Dave]

Finally playing horizon zero Dawn. Game is dope

[Jkmetal23]

I recently bought soma as a Veteran of Amnesia and I've got to find my horror gaming stones before I can progress past the first few checkpoints.

Love horror games and SOMA has a lot of atmosphere. Loved it. However, I didn't find it as scary or stress inducing as Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

By the way, should I be playing Rise of the Tomb Raider in DirectX 11 or DirectX 12?

Deus Ex Man Kind Divided

6.5/10 Finally finished it today.

Problem is it was so long since I started the game I forgot most of the plot and characters.. so that cliff hanger at the end only mildly made sense to me.

Lost some points for inconsistent graphics, an average unfinished story.. and clunky combat. Also you had in my opinion .. had to spend way to much time trying to find secrets and items and inventory management was annoying.

uninstalled.

[Danny Nissan]

Cleared some more underbosses in Ghost Recon Wildlands, think I'm about half-way done. After the latest patch it has been way easier to team up with people for coop. But that does turn into doing random missions in random areas so I am totally lost on the "story" for that little area/province at times.

Not sure it matters much anyway, and playing with others makes it a bit more fun but perhaps not as structered as I would like.

[KAC]

Some more SOMA, Dishonored 2, a mission in Halo Wars and MEA. My ADD is running rampant these days so need games to keep me calm.

[ThirdEye]

-got back into elite dangerous, just exploring for now and throwing wallet at frontier store for skins. should really wait for when they're sale.

-pubg with my spirit animal dr disrespect

[Dengin]

Playing Mass Effect 3 Omega DLC for the first time. Good story, lot of Aria T'loak (Carrie Ann Moss) so that's good stuff

[MNB4800]

And..... more FF9! So good!

[t0adp1p3]

Finished Superhot VR, one of the most fun gaming experiences I've ever had.

[KAC]

Hit mission 14 for Halo Wars. Only 14 and 15 left to do. I really enjoyed the game to be honest. Decent RTS with sufficient complexity and diverse mission design. Going to finish it up soon.

[MangaSpawn64]

Finished Superhot VR, one of the most fun gaming experiences I've ever had.

Curious how it'll pan out on the PSVR since you can't move with... the move controllers

[KAC]

Finished Halo Wars. 8/10 campaign. Loved it.

[Dengin]

Finished the ME3 Omega DLC so back to the regular campaign. The last fight in that DLC is the toughest fight of all ME3 content, almost ridiculously out of scale with the rest of the game. Probably trivial as an Infiltrator or a lot easier with Defense Matrix or some such, but as a Soldier you're taking a lot of punishment.

[KAC]

Played a bit of SOMA. The sunken ship and using an escape pod moment was nice. I enjoyed the tension there. Took me even a couple of tries.

Played 2.5 hours of MEA. Still tedious but I need to finish it. For science!

[t0adp1p3]

How hard is it to get into elite dangerous? I am thinking about picking it up.
Do I have to get a HOTAS right away or can I use an Xbox One gamepad?

EDIT:Picked it up along with Voice Attack and the HCS Astra voice pack. had a ton of fun just doing the first two tutorials.

I am not sure if my wife will ever sleep with me after seeing me in this headset saying "engage jump drive". Holy balls is it nerdy.

[Danny Nissan]

Finished Victor Vran. The game seems like it has tons of extra content/areas that I didnt explore with new challanges that unlock after you finish the story but I think I had enough. I enjoyed hearing the same voice actor that plays Geralt in the witcher games.

Cleared some more areas in Wildlands, got a nice assault rifle (MK-17) and some scope for my sniper rifle.

[KAC]

Still punching through MEA.

[KAC]

Just hit Omnicron in SOMA.
Got Voeld to 100% viability in Andromeda.

Too much filler grunt work in this one. I am finally enjoying it though.

[KAC]

Finished SOMA.

[Hardwood]

Finished Homefront:The Revolution in a mere 53 hours.
If you like FarCry 4 you'll like this.

[Drexion]

Completed Sniper Elite 4, my first of this series. Enjoyed it throughout, though it can feel repetitive if you play it a lot without taking a break. This isn't a bad thing really, as the core gameplay is quite fun even if you do find yourself doing similar actions over and over. Some of the maps have great layout design, offering multiple paths of playing it and different methods of completing objectives or clearing areas.

Way back when I bought MGSV:The Phantom Pain I gave up on it a few hours into it because trying to play an "open map" game using stealth primarily without a quick-save feature is annoying/frustrating - thankfully this game has a fully functional quick save feature and while playing it I couldn't help but be reminded of the fun that I missed out on in msgv. I won't re-install msgv though unless they patch in a save anywhere feature, which they won't, so I guess I'll never get back to it.

[dmanna]

The Surge completed 8.5/10

Good game. I hope they make another Surge game.

[t0adp1p3]

Finished Lone Echo, was definitely one of the top 5 memorable gaming experiences. Put it up there with those rare experiences like GL Quake, exiting the ship in Unreal, etc... Just really can't describe it.
