Since The Division was pretty much the only game I played in recent months, (+750 hours) I thought I'd catch up on some games I've never tried before, while I wait for 1.4 to arrive. Which games have been keeping the rest of you busy and what did you think of them? Here are the ones I've had time to try out...
Doom 2016: All I can say is wow. Just wow. As someone who played the first ever Doom on PC, I can say this is what Doom is all about. Frenetic action at its best. One of the best games of recent years IMO. Also one of the best looking games I've ever seen.
Mafia 3: Kind of a disappointment TBH. I even requested a refund on Steam a few days after purchase because I lost interest, but I will probably end up finishing it at some point. This game was actually the reason I upgraded from my old R9 270 to the GTX 1070.
Crysis 3: One of the most beautiful looking games I've ever played. Definitely taking my time through the campain and not rushing through it. It's a spectacle.
Quantum Break: A very different and fresh type of 3rd person shooter. And those cut scenes have to be the best looking of any game in history. The faces, the way characters speak, it's very realistic.
Shadow Dragon 2: If you enjoyed Serious Sam games, mix that with ninjas and you have SD2. A lot of fun!
Rainbow Six Siege. Ranked. The best tactical shooter on the market, keeps getting better and better. It's potentially the next Counter-Strike. Get some friends together and try it.
Xcom 2 on Legendary difficulty. Awesome game, as good as the first if not better.
Fallout 4 on the new survival difficulty. Awesome!
The Technomancer on extreme difficulty. Average rpg with a cool theme.
Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary.
Waiting on HALO WARS 2, MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA, Turok Dinosaur Hunter remaster for X1
I lost interest in Mafia 3 after the first few hours. The weapon mechanics are terrible. This is almost a rehash of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas- That's how retro M3 is set up.
There are a ton of games in my queue- Gears of War 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, BF1, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Diablo 3 PS4 remaster, Watch Dogs 2, etc. Not all games are available today, but soon I'll be so inundated, there will be no time available to finish the games in 2016. I'll check out Crysis 3, since I really liked the first 2 games in the series.
Doom: However, I guess my PC is getting old as at times the framerate is attrocious even on lowest settings. So I can only manage an hour or so at a time. Still playable, just slow.
Paragon Beta Testing: Nice looking game. Game play is pretty good. First time playing a MOBA so taking a little getting used to but certainly fun.
Eastside Hockey Manager: I have the longest running online league in the world, 15 years in november.
Same here, they did a fantastic job with the game. Co-op is great with a couple of friends.Originally Posted by SLAYFARER Go to original post
Also messing around with PS4-VR stuff.
My honest advice would be to uninstall the game and stop playing until you upgrade your hardware. It's a shame to ruin your first experience/run through such a great game when the hardware is holding you back and giving you low framerates. I waited years to play newer titles like Crysis 3 and Doom until I got the right parts and it's 100% worth the wait.Originally Posted by TG24915193 Go to original post
