What VIDEO GAME(s) have you been playing? ARCHIVE

Played Helldivers till about 11:30, but I didn't see you get on. Still, the game can work with pick up and play with randos, which is super rare. One of the guys I was playing with had the big car, so he'd call that down at the beginning of the round and me and the other consistent player would roll around finishing missions. Didn't get anything harder than "easy" done.

Great game. Consider trying it Barnes, I think you'd love it. It's a very distilled game.

I fell asleep on the couch at 9PM. Ah parenthood.

I was in dutch with the wife anyway for not co-hectoring the children adequately, so it was unlikely to happen.

HELLDIVERS is a ton of fun, and if you actually deploy effectively you look super badass. I was on a team of four and we had this 2x2 cross fire we could pin the baddies in and it looked so cool. That friendly fire is a bitch though sometimes. I love getting dived on by someone's aerial ammo dump.

what this mean?

I picked up State of Decay on the Xbox One. I already played the game on 360, so I'm familiar with how it plays. I've played it for a few hours so far, and have been having a great time with it, despite some odd bugs here and there. It's one of those games where, despite having a larger storyline, the game really revolves around how you interact with the world, and all the little stories you create as you discover new locations, scavenging gone bad, being torn in half by a feral zombie... all the little things that make the game what it is. Yes, it has weird bugs, but it's still my favorite zombie game. I look forward to playing the DLC once I'm done with the main game as well.

I'm close to biting the bullet and buying the Resident Evil HD remake. That's my favourite zombie game ever (unless you consider RE4 to be zombies).

Barney, I'm probably going to pick it up as well. It's on sale on the PSN for 14.99, and I have about 7$ in PSN funds, so I'll just add the difference. Looks fantastic from the trailer.

Finished Pillars of Eternity yesterday and it had a very satisfying ending. The secrets you uncover near the finale are fascinating and help make the villain much more understandable and I even found myself agreeing in some ways with his philosophy, if not his actions. In addition, the ending montage was great and the consequences of your decisions throughout the game were well thought out. I always tried to make the 'good' moral choice throughout the game (even when there were no good choices) but some areas and people have tragic endings, just as some found peace and happiness. Over the course of my 60 hours I only had the game crash once. I'm excited to come back to the game in a few years and try playing a morally questionable character and see how that impacts the world.

Yesterday I finished the "true" ending of 999. That game was pretty cool, and tonight I'll start the sequel, Virtue's Last Reward.

So, I finally caved in to the Star Wars game sales, just 4 hours before the sale was over.

I immediately downloaded Jedi Academy, KotOR and Republic Commando. The first two game ran after a few tinkering, and I haven't booted the third.

Jedi Academy just look... ageless. Despite the low poly count and not-so-high-res textures, it just look good. And the gameplay is still fluid, fast and fun. KotOR graphics don't age so well. The ageless graphic is a general trait from games from Lucasarts I think. I remember their Indiana Jones looked really great back then, and also using a style that ages well.

Just this morning before went to work I downloaded Dark Forces, and oh boy, this game *is* good! I've never played the original, but I played the heck out of Doom back then.

I picked up Slitheran's Order of Battle: Pacific on steam. Basically, Panzer General in the Pacific. I've been reading and watching a number of things about the Pacific Front and the Battle of Midway so I've been joning for a Pacific game. The only problem is most Pacific War board games take a ton time to play. Since fog of war is so imported for carrier and naval warfare, it's probably better just playing a video war game about the Pacific.

Hope you enjoy it, one of my favorite games. I found the play experience to be much better than 999. Also one of the very few games where I did not click ahead on the text because I liked one character's voice acting so much (the "host").

Still holding out hope that 999-3 will exist one day...

Nice!
I keep eying Empire of the Sun which sounds really good...

It is. The new edition has an AI for solo play.

Empire of the Sun is the #1 game on my want to buy but will never play because of finding an opponent and time list.
