Re: What are you playing right now?
Finally finished Assassin's Creed II.  Turns out I was only like 15 minutes from the end.  Although I remembered immediately why I had stopped for so long.  I was stuck on a "kill without being detected" mission that I eventually had to go to the internet for.  And the answer involved using the gun.  Go figure.

Now to finish Majora's Mask 3D and then I think I'll go for Far Cry 3.  Hopefully Uplay isn't going to be a pain in the dick.
I like to stare at the sun.

Re: What are you playing right now?
Picked up the Brad in AW.  Popping two ITOWs one after the other is pretty fun but a lot of things can just lol@ ATGMs at this tier.  More troubling is the Bushmaster seems kinda anemic, its troubling not being able to clip things out like the BMP-2 is aught to do.

I've played some Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen since it came out - nice enough but graphically a bit dated (not that it matters)

Re: What are you playing right now?
I've been splitting my time between Diablo III and Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak

All these paragon level whateverhundred people I keep running into make me sad.  I just got to 30 something and still have crap gear, but hey, at least Kanis cube decided to give me my first piece of the Tal Rasha set.  of course I was hoping for an Etched Sigil to drop meteors without stopping my channeling,

An American turret.

In a game that has, until now, exclusively had Axis ships and equipment, and indeed, has at times hinted that your enemies are Americans or Allied.

Re: What are you playing right now?
Well, I thought it might be a turret for a non-introduced ship, but an American turret? That's huge.

Made it past the Leo1A5 to the 2AV, one step closer to the 2A4.  I really like the 1A5 but in game its a real disappointment.  Model is all wrong and getting frontally penned by auto cannon just blows.

Fully upgraded the Brad is a lot of fun though.

Back to Deus Ex: Human Revolution and MechWarrior Online.

There is no way the 1A5 should be a T:5, the OF-40 with its thicker turret armour would make more sense

Been playing MWO. I've also somehow managed to get MW3 running on my Win10 machine, hopefully it's enough to let me finish the campaign

Long story short, using dgvoodoo dlls to emulate a dx7 card (use the MS DX dlls, not the Glide ones), then limiting FPS to 30 via Adaptive Vsync (Half refresh) in my Nvidia program settings. There should be an identical setting for AMD cards.

 
Re: What are you playing right now?
Just finished the Homeworld 1 Remastered Campaign. (Gearbox hurry up and implement HW1 ship behavior already gosh) Now I am just installing X3:TC and X3:AP.
I wonder which shall I play. They seem very similar and I can't decide, I dont want to play TC if AP is just the same thing but better.

P.S God that game makes me feel really small. Also listening to the music in game and just flying around makes me creeped out.

Re: What are you playing right now?

The engine is better (especially OOS combat and the turret scripts), but TC has a map that isn't consumed with constant warfare and a lot more questlines... which is why there are a number of decently-popular mods to let you play TC on the AP engine.

Alternatively, there's the Litcube's Universe mod, which I found moderately interesting compared to the newer iterations of the XTC mod, although you should probably not try either of those until after you've played TC (either normally or in the AP engine), since they both change everything completely and, simultaneously, expect you to be familiar with the core gameplay concepts.

EDIT: And apparently there's a new version of Litcube's Universe (1.6.0) that is currently unreleased but fixes a number of bugs, some of which are particularly annoying, so you might want to wait for that.

Re: What are you playing right now?
Working my way through Bioshock for the first time evar, and goddamn it is good times.  Also getting into hilarious cluster****s in KSP.  Y'know, the usual.

I hope the autopilot and AI is better in AP too. I've almost died due to friendly ships ramming me or my autopilot having me constantly ramming into ships I am
following and doing really strange maneuvers in TC. And the controls... jeez.

Still, I love the ship design in this. Some of the stations and ships that I've seen so far are really cool and beautiful.

Re: What are you playing right now?

Stop hoping; low-level autopilot and AI functionality isn't moddable and Egosoft's solution was to move on to an entirely new game engine.

That being said, major mods (like Litcube's Universe) tend to work around the "autopilot always crashing into things" problem in other ways (LU uses a "make ships bounce off each other depending on circumstances" script; you can still ram things if you try, but it's much more difficult for it to happen by accident).
