What have you played in the weekend?

Fishbreath · 2017-09-25T14:10:05.421Z

Sigh. I’m going to have to bite the bullet and get Path of Fire one of these days.

The moment I saw Augury Rock and the ruins of the three Ascension runes… oh boy, the feels. ;) And the recreation of the Hall of Ascension is fantastic. Soooo good.

I played it to the end yes, and started ME2 now, and you’re pretty right, in retrospect, the game annoyed me a lot more while just finishing the missions before the to ending missions, and then I kind of forgot about the annoying bits and whent straight to starting ME2 because… because I LOVE MASS EFFECT!!!

Yeah, I was the same way. I avoided playing the first two games until the third was about to come out. And then I played through ME1, and despite the annoyances, the ending was so good that I was on a complete high and at that moment, I couldn’t wait, I had to play ME2 RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT. And funny enough, ME2 kind of accommodates that. The game starts off with a bang, as if they were predicting that some people will have just finished ME1 and come straight to ME2.

I tried to play Assetto Corsa, but I couldn’t. It’s so hard to drag out the peripherals when I have so many other immediate distractions. I’m a lazy gamer.

This is the buggest thing keeping me from grabbing Project Cars 2 right now. I’ve got F1 2017 on the PS4 which I’m enjoying and I just keep my wheel/pedals hooked up to that and I can just push them to the side to play my other games. Moving them over to my PC is an entirely different undertaking. I’ve also got AC but I’ve only touched it a few times mostly because dragging my wheel around is a pain.

Played a bunch of Elder Scrolls Online - wrapped up some outstanding Pact and Orsinium exploration achievements, and now I’m just focused on the Morrowind expansion. Which I stalled out on early in because the Balmora quest line is kind of… boring? And long. But I put it behind me finally and had some fun in Gnisis and doing some random other quests and delves. This is a game that does bonkers a lot better than it does drama.

Everyone needs to come to terms with enjoying racing simulators using a gamepad. That way you don’t have to worry about the mental burden of dragging out a wheel to play them.

You can drag out a wheel out of the closet with your mind? Dude, I wanna game at your house!

TimJames · 2017-09-25T17:47:48.470Z

I don’t play racing games. I play racing simulators.

divedivedive · 2017-09-25T17:57:46.511Z

I only play driving games.

agapepilot · 2017-09-25T18:03:20.774Z

Yeah I will play a driving/caRPG/arcade racer with a pad no problem. The Crew, FH series, NFS stuff like that. But anything more serious than that and a wheel/pedal set is a requirement.

DaveLong · 2017-09-25T18:40:53.846Z

When I stopped reviewing racing sims, I put the wheel and pedals aside. I’m full on gamepad these days. I’d love to have a current wheel and pedals set up but I don’t have the space for it and without the financial incentive to make that room, I’m happy to play with an analog stick.

Someday I’ll get back to true simulation. That day is down the road.

RichVR · 2017-09-25T20:18:18.746Z

I play games while the wife drives.

divedivedive · 2017-09-25T20:24:03.480Z

I play wife while the … game … dammit.

Anyway I played some Destiny and Oxenfree over the weekend. As I noted in the dedicated thread, my experience with second game improved upon my second playthrough. It’s clever.

RichVR · 2017-09-28T01:22:59.123Z

It seems like I’ll be playing ESO for a while. I forgot that I had an ESO plus membership. So I popped on for a second and found 6000 crowns in my account. I bought some crazy skin that makes my char look like Johnny Storm without the flames. Then I got back into the Vvardenfell quest line for Vivec. Still enjoyable. Still gorgeous. Step aside quest to have the longest game ever in XCOM:WOTC.

Like the pain of walking around (or rather, ride elevators) the Citadel

There’s a faster elevator mod for ME1. I realize you’ve already finished it, just throwing it out there in case someone else is contemplating a go at the game.

Profanicus · 2017-09-28T06:29:56.576Z

Four-day long weekend for me, starting now!

I was weak and bought Total War: Warhammer 2 today at far too exhorbitant a cost, so I suppose I’d better play that at some point. Probably on day four after it finishes downloading. ;)

My prescription lenses for Oculus Rift arrived today, just in time to try out Project Cars 2 and the new Elite: Dangerous update.

I also have more Divinity: Original Sin 2 to play, which I’m loving and will likely make my year end list.

Aaand thanks to certain Youtube stream I’ve reinstalled Guild Wars 2. Here’s hoping that’s not all I end up playing… Fun times!

Crusis · 2017-09-28T07:31:39.091Z

15 hours into Divinity: Original Sin and hoping to add to that. A little Caves of Qud as well.

TimJames · 2017-09-28T11:51:38.132Z

I’ll be playing the “last” two games in my backlog: Nioh DLC 3 and PUBG.

Fishbreath · 2017-09-28T12:13:58.514Z

I’m going to spend a little time, most likely, on my MekHQ BattleTech mercenaries campaign. Maybe some Warframe if I have the time. I’d also like to dip my toes back into DCS; they just released the fancy flight model Su-33, and putting that on a carrier deck seems like an interesting challenge.

I have some board gaming planned with friends, too. I was going to snag a copy of Mysterium, but my wife pointedly reminded me my birthday is coming up, so we’ll probably take Hanabi and The Big Book of Madness instead.
