Video Games

Thank god someone had the balls to do it.

I for one am SICK of these so-called 'games' - really just overblown films with a bit of gameplay chucked in to keep the kids happy. If gamemakers want to be a film director, make a goddamn film. These guys think we're really interested in characters or storyline, or a believable world, or any kind of coherent entertainment experience? Fuck no. Give me a tiger with a single attack move and a variety of things to murder and I'm a happy man. Black Tiger Simulator here I come.

^ & ^^ bravo

Not as realistic as Goat Simulator.

Your a goat stimulator.

Any darksouls fans had a chance to play Nioh. Opions? are the comparisons fair?

There's a demo available just for this weekend but not sure i'll get a chance to play it.

Just finished FF15, 55 hours in total, I did all but 2 dungeons, got all but 2 weapon upgrades, now for the New Game + to get it 100%. I'm a massive FF fan and really enjoyed the game, although felt some atmosphere was lacking in the beginning sections.

55 hours? That's remarkably short, I was under the impression it was longer.

I'm still dumping hours into Skyrim for the PS4
Just finished with Solsthiem (but need to grind my crafting up for the stahlrim armour)
L38 and about to start building houses and then to become a vampire.

Top tip if anyone still plays, when you meet Serana and begin the mission to get her home, you can go off and do other business and she will follow you, you can't get her to carry stuff but she fights for you and will reanimate enemies to fight with you too. I've had her and Lydia with me for all the Dragonborn DLC and it's been quite handy for tougher enemies.

The main story line is actually quite short but there's tons of side quests.

holy shit u guise

the trouble with any game that uses HPL as it's inspiration is that in order to be faithful to the narrative, you have to not save the world and at best end up in an insane asylum waiting to be devoured along with the rest of the population of planet earth by a cosmic horror from another dimension.

That's going on my list.

I'd love a video game based on The Shadow over Innsmouth.

you're in luck

bloodborne or specifically the fishing Hamlet? Not based on but heavily inspired by

The last thing I did on skyrim on ps3 after getting dragon armour was see how much I could cheese the game mechanics and get as many followers as possible, think I topped out at 6, running across enemies got very intense and a tad juttery

Might not be far off tbh

no stuart gordon / brian yuzna?

out

I finally got round to buying Shenzhen IO, so far very fun, haven't gotten stuck by anything yet

Log into bootcamp - apple alert "graphics driver update available".
holy mother of god face - could this mean they've finally updated the right thing and i'll be able to play BF1 again?

20000TB of updates later - nope :/

basically fuck apple and fuck amd

the app available on here will tell you if a game will work on your mac, providing it's on the site, which most games generally are.

it did work absolutely fine for a few months then they did some bullshit update and now no go.

apple say it's up to amd, amd say it's up to apple - their forums have thousands of posts complaining and asking for a fix, each company says gtf.

in an effort to sort it myself I did something stupid just now:

except I didn't quite follow the last steps properly

i managed one glorious round of it working properly before i had to log out and do some work.

i was working on another computer and left the iMac to sleep - it restarted and now loops the process getting to just after the Windows loading screen before showing a weird blue block at the top of the screen before restarting again - 4 restarts and it offers me recovery mode for a serious error.

fucking fuck.

Take a deep breath and get to Novo.

Is the current Call of Duty any good?
Got a few days off next week and have earmarked them for gaming and want to pick up something new (to me, not necessarily 'new')

Also tempted with Batman Return to Arkham as I never really played much Asylum or City.
