Just Finished DETROIT last night. A good game of a particular Genre in my opinion. And a good use of choices I make in chapter 3 helping/hindering me in Chapter 12 or even a Finale critical decision choice dependent on earlier questioning/clues found.

All in all, I enjoyed it, and am definitely gonna play through a few more times to try and save everyone, or try a more violent revolution (went for the full Peaceful, positive Public opinion.)

Playing Far Cry 3 Classic Edition.  Finally had time to sit down and play a little of it today.

Item crafting already annoys me.

Played FTL again I'm going to unlock C version ships. Federation cruiser and stealth cruiser C versions suck.

Playing Far Cry 3 Classic Edition.
Classic Edition? I looked it up on Wikipedia
Quote
Far Cry 3 will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as a Far Cry 3: Classic Edition, on June 26, 2018.
What day is it now?
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights errant, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

It was released May 26th.  Whoever wrote that Wikipedia entry got the month wrong.

Made it through to end!
I got interested and did a few playthroughs myself. In the latest one I had a nuke in my inventory and found an invulnerability globe near the stairs of the 7th level of Hell, so I took it, went down the stairs and nuked the Mastermind. Results were ... interesting.

I so badly really want to see a Fallout were it shows the beginning. Like from Washington DC, and your a Spec Ops officer, get to meet the President or someone in charge after the bombs dropped and have to escape to a shelter with early mutants and people turned Raiders. Maybe even a " Tour of Duty " on board U.S.S. Constitution...

And I was right... woot! Is it Nov. 18th yet?

I just noticed that Nintendo is getting cool looking Mecha base game called Daemon x Machina, reported on ANN.

It reminds me of Armor Core that was on Playstations in it's early years. The designer apparently has done with Macross anime series in the past too.

Looks like it will be fun. Too bad i'm only have PC.  :'(

I bought The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky and started playing it. I knew it has lots of dialogue, but DAMN, it has LOTS of dialogue! This isn't your average JRPG either: combat is turn-based, but it includes movement, and pole arms have longer reach than swords. Great!

Then on another forum I read Humble Bundle has Shadowrun Returns available for free ::)
All right, I'll buy that one too even if I don't get the time to play it.

I got myself into Elder Scrolls Online during that last sale and I'm now wandering around good ol Vvardenfell.

This is how it starts. Estelle is Bestelle.

The ability to speed through animations with the new Turbo Mode coded into the PC Game is a lifesaver. You'll thank XSEED immensely after your hundredth or so casting of "Aerial".

Also dialogue and villager flags update after EVERY major plot event, so they'll usually have something new to add to the discussion. Mind you, I said new, not useful.

Not so much what I'm playing - I already went through it about a dozen times - but I introduced my roommate to Undertale. She burned through it in about four days, inadvertently doing the "Pacifist" run, and is currently bawling downstairs at the ending. I'm not sorry.

Ok. Really should have picked Macross Delta sooner.  Only 4 missions in and having fun with the Nightmare and Cheyenne II destroid.

I'm playing Conan Exiles on the Xbox One at the moment. Given that I'm a huge fan of the Robert E. Howard writings I'm enjoying the game immensely.  :thumbsup:

I'm working my way through a videogame challenge I joined on BoardGameGeek, and just finished The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief, which I enjoyed rather a lot, despite a few glitches that meant I had to reload periodically. I'm torn between trying to complete a couple of other mystery/adventure games I've been meaning to play for ages (Gabriel Knight 3, and Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter) or seeing what the Valkyria Chronicles is like.

It's more interesting than optimal, and therefore better. O0 - Weirdo

Picked up Dragon Crown Pro since it was on sale in the Playstation store.  I was a huge fan of Capcom's two Dungeons & Dragons arcade games back in the day, and Dragon Crown really scratches the same itch.

Goodness I remember these, beat-em ups in the tradition of Bad Dudes and Double Dragon. Those were the days...

Picked up the NES Classic on Friday.  I've meddled a little with several games but spent most of my time in it on Final Fantasy so far.  It's a pleasant sort of nostalgia.

Nintendo rereleased the device Friday and will keep way more in production like they are with the SNES classic.
