***Gamers*** What are you playing?

Dishonored 2 (Stealth? Murder? Rats feeding on enemies? HELL YEAH)

Really looking forward to playing Dishonored 2 now that it's been apparently fixed for PC.

I've been playing Forza Horizon 3, Planet Coaster, Doom, and GTA V (feels like a whole new game with the Natural Vision mod)... played FO4 almost 400 hours on PS4.. really bums me out I can't pick up where I left off on PC... easily was one of my all time favs.

Youll enjoy DH2, it's as good as the 1st game but better.
And since you get to play 2 different characters....it adds a new level of replay value.

How do you like Planet Coaster? Looks fun.

PS4?! Pshhh. WEAK. PC Master Race!!!

 

[Tranquility]

Peace all.

Have had my Vault suit on for only a few months...played to level 50 at least twice, yet...

It's funny how many choices seem odd when you switch games. Once you inhabit the game character, you become the game character a bit and make the same type of decisions in the next game you play. (Even if they hurt rather than help.)

But, what of the button maps? I tend towards default. Go from Fallout 4 to Witcher 3 to Doom (4) sometime in the same session to really screw with your brain. Don't the publishers even care what others use the buttons for? Zoom in in one game and lob a 'nade in another. There have been a number of times I've done my thing, look down, and recognize the error that is about to send me back to the checkpoint. You'd think I would try to run away. Yet, I just look down and say...

I really liked Dishonored. It had a great story and the "puzzles" took some thinking to get past. One big problem was I seemed to stumble into a combination of that was pretty tough to beat at about mid-way. It made the game rather rote. Does DH2 feel the same way?

So spot on!

I always try to play survival mode, for instance. But in F4 there's NO fast travel. I lost my mind.

Having just come from Skyrim, I thought "Can't you even do carriages between major settlements or something" and I realized...

Carriages?

Don't the publishers even care what others use the buttons for? Zoom in in one game and lob a 'nade in another.

I had NO freaking idea. You just blew my mind...!

Peace!

 

[HellsWindStaff]

Bro there is definitely fast travel in F4 unless they removed it or not there during Survival mode

 

[OldOyler]

Yeah I meant survival mode only.

That's what bugged me - I get all prideful when I am NOT playing a game on "Survival / Death / Insane" mode (reminds me of the Shadow Warrior remake on the highest level, painful...).

But heck, why bother otherwise? (Yes, that's just me talking )

Peace all!

Awesome, I loved the first one. Planet Coaster is awesome, probably the best sim I've played as far as creation goes. I'm new to the PC world.. just made the switch from OSX back in sept.. WIN10 made the switch a lot easier for me.

Peace out all gamers!

From Google's DeepMind AI website - DQN stuff.

Watch who you think you are playing online...? Oh - and it is a GREAT new excuse if someone is truly ruling your ass (Oh, that's not a PERSON...)

Thank goodness it's only Atari so far...

"...For artificial agents to be considered truly intelligent they should excel at a wide variety of tasks that are considered challenging for humans. Until this point, it had only been possible to create individual algorithms capable of mastering a single specific domain. With our algorithm, we leveraged recent breakthroughs in training deep neural networks to show that a novel end-to-end reinforcement learning agent, termed a deep Q-network (DQN), was able to surpass the overall performance of a professional human reference player and all previous agents across a diverse range of 49 game scenarios.

This work represents the first demonstration of a general-purpose agent that is able to continually adapt its behavior without any human intervention, a major technical step forward in the quest for general AI."

Hey, we weren't shooting for *that*...

To the choppas!

So I've played on Xbox's since they first came out. I've also been a Mac user since the first day that they came out as well but being that Macs are not really good gaming computers (learned that after playing WoW on it for awhile way back when) I've stuck with the consoles. I've never played on a PS before. I've had my 360 and played every game that I've ever wanted to play on it but alas, there are no more games available for it that I've wanted to play, so..............I bought myself a new PS4 Slim bundled with Uncharted 4 for 199 as an early Christmas present. At that price, I just couldn't pass it up.

Went to Gamestop to trade in my old xbox and a few games for Last of Us, Remastered and Witcher 3. So now I got 3 games, those two plus Uncharted 4 that I'm really looking forward to play. Just started Uncharted 4 last night, and being that I'm so much behind the times with the 360, I as totally amazed at how realistic the graphics are, especially the facial expressions that are tied into the great dialogue of this game.

Thought I may have a difficult time getting use to the PS4 controller but that wasn't an issue at all. What is an issue though is the awful battery life. Why in the fuck Sony didn't put in a 2000mah batt instead of a measly 1000mah bat (or for that matter, rechargable AA's) is beyond me.

Peace @lwien ,

I try not to very often, but...

First can't stop playing it game was Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, turned based, on a Compaq portable 286 w/ 4-color CGA.

First game to make me lose my MIND was Duke Nukem 3D.

First game to scare the piss out of me - Quake.

You used to get the initial beta as like a 1.2 version for download, then bought the "rest" of game and its levels when it came out.

I won't bring up my very earliest PC experience, a Battle of Gettysburg turn-based geek board game turned into a pc game on a Radio Shack Tandy...

Oh, and of course first PC network game? It was called "snipes" and "nsnipes" for early pre-286 Novell Netware networks, used by CNEs for testing network connectivity.

Peace!

(I'd better go check my hip now...)

Ok, being that you are going wayyyyyy back there, this is the very first game I ever played on my Mac (circa 1986). It was a Mac exclusive. The sounds still make me laugh.....

 

[OldOyler]

Ok, being that you are going wayyyyyy back there, this is the very first game I ever played on my Mac and I do gotta say that I have some pretty fond memories of it:

Looks like an early Castlevania, awesome!

(I was hoping the true ancients would arrive shortly and talk about cobol-based gaming so I wouldn't have to feel so old. NASA programmers? Anyone...?!)

I remember playing a trek like game on a mini-computer (About the size of a washing machine.). It was a text-based game that would be a space battle of some sort. Since the computer was for accounting, I assume it was COBOL. But, the system and software in those days was leased and one did not have the ability to tinker.

My dad is still a pretty big gamer (50) , and growing up he played these, so consequentially I played them! They were the shit! Awesome weapons! Freeze gun, lightning gun, crazy pigs, the nail gun, getting keycards to open doors, the nostalgia is real!

These were my other favorites from his collection:

SOO much fun, and he had a cool joystick he used for flight sim games that made these a blast to play.

But this was probably my favorite one:

Loved this game so much. To the point I thought about torrenting it but thought against it. You just went through different levels and each level was a certain point in time. I still remember clubbing sabretooth tigers

Was just looking up Quake, didn't realize NIN did the music!

 

[OldOyler]

But this was probably my favorite one:

I remember both (Mech Warrior I spent hours on), and one of my kids used to watch me play the original Shadow Warrior. (Just played the remake last year, was pretty cool!)

Downloaded to my brand new high-speed internet at the time - ISDN.

That's right - I had DUAL 56KB speed and my friends were losing their damn minds...

Peace!

Man I loved this game "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night"

 

[BuzzDanklin]

Picked up H1Z1 King of the Kill during the $10 steam sale the other day. So far it seems like a tough game with a pretty steep learning curve, but it's really fun right after vaping because it really gets your heart rate and adrenaline going!

Those were the goods.

I think I have you all beat (except maybe the guy with the mini-computer text game.) M.U.L.E. on the Commodore 64 was the first game I got really involved with. Now I have been sucked in by Fallout 4, level 65 and counting...

Back to the future
