What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

[nature]

can someone recommend a PS4 bundle in the US to me? I'm waiting for the 1Tb model, but at this point they better throw in a game or two.

Buy a bundle with the games you want, then buy this. http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-HN-M201RAD-Momentus-SpinPoint-ST2000LM003/dp/B00I8O6OQ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439821252&sr=8-1&keywords=ps4+hard+drive+2tb Its so incredibly easy to swap hard drives in this thing. If you are like me and only want to buy digital the 1tb drive will even fill up faster than you want it to. 2tb is the way to go.

who would want that^

 

damn console designs like that always looks so cheap and tacky.

Bc it comes with a free copy of Battlefront maybe

 

It now looks like the console also includes a bonus disc of old games including: Super Star Wars, Star Wars: Racer Revenge, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. So maybe there will be a premium on the price, hopefully not too much as it's a 2 year old machine now.

That's exactly the reason these exclusive consoles come out... sell old hardware at prices not seen since 2 years ago.

That Fallout Shelter game finally got ported to Android, goodbye concentration....

I named a kid Schploft Afterblong, then everybody became depressed and got killed during a radroach infestation

 

 

hah, I'm actaully really struggling with it, it seems like if I don't open the app to collect stuff every 10 minutes everybody starves/becomes irradiated.

I'm struggling too, both food and water are all very low and that doesn't seem to improve a lot. Unless you "rush" certain rooms, maybe. But that's where the dangers are because you can get a fire or radroach infestations if it fails. At first I tried to just let everything idle, make everyone starve to death. But that doesn't seem to happen. It seems you're practically safe if you don't rush any rooms. Weird.

 

Still, it's a fine little thing to get into the Fallout 4 mood a bit.

You'll need a specific type of balance between the rooms, with a slight priority on diners (upgrade them ASAP). It's important to have the right people assigned to the right rooms and preferably with outfits that boost relevant skills. It's important not to have redundant /non-essential rooms because they use power like a motherfucker. It's hard to balance all this out until you have enough dwellers, but you'll get the hang of it. My vault is pretty self sufficient, it's low on food because I'm breeding them like rabbits and sending people to gyms to boost stats, but it never goes in the red.

 

 

It helps to send your explorers out with good weapons, like this bad boy:

how do you progress in Goat Simulator? Is it all just about collecting useless trophies?

[Bechuga]

Yeah, nothing else goes on, it's just about interacting with shit and seeing what happens (firing Deadmau5 off a cannon is funny). The novelty wears off fast, especially with the lame controls. Funny for a while, though.

[chim]

how do you progress in Goat Simulator?

You uninstall the game.

[ghOsty]

Anyone been following "Twitch plays Dark Souls" i've been periodically checking in the last few days. As you can probably guess the progress is abysmal. They haven't even gotten out of the Asylum yet. However if progress is actually made, that's a quite a damn feat.

Game requires too much precision .. can't see this catching on beyond initial wow factor of "twitch plays (difficult game)".

[usagi]

progress in any of the Souls games is hard but possible with perseverance. definitely doesn't lend itself to streaming play though, unless the player spectacularly loses their temper and thus provides lols.

 

the only thing I avoided due to the sheer difficulty/frustration factor when playing Scholar of the First Lol was optionally taking on the Smelter Demon a second time in one of the DLCs. fuck the Smelter Demon, most annoying boss fight ever.

wtf, this is insufferable

 

4 days at the same area? christ

 

it would be more fun to see one person trying to play this genuinly while random people are also controlling from a chat

Cheers man, think I'll start a new vault with this perspective in mind.

yeah this isn't going to catch on for the reason bitroast mention. Pokemon was perfect because of the fairly obtuse granularity of actions and turn based nature of combat.

i actually took the smelter demon all the way to ng+6 with bonfire ascetics because the xp that came off those easy as fuck knights was insane. i ended up on level 280 while on NG+1. He was irritating but i there was way worse. ormstien and smough, seriously fuck those arseholes.

Apparently Valve are demoing the HTC Vive at EGX this year. Very tempted to check that out, even though Birmingham is a shit hole.

 

Anyone been before? I don't wanna buy tickets and end up not being able to try stuff. All the early access tickets have sold out so it's probably gonna be rammed as soon as I get there.

More entertaining to watch the guy beat it with bongos controller or dance pad or guitar...

[mcbpete]

Looks like they've broken it .... Just sitting by the bonfire with no moves doing anything.

 

EDIT: Ah they've back again !

[Perezvon]

This is so retarded

Bonus games are just download vouchers after all, no physical disc.

The same guy beat Dark Souls 2 in 1:33 this way.

Ended up buying tickets for EGX. Got a gig in Birmingham the same night, so that's ideal scheduling for me.

 

Hoping I get to catch Chet Faliszek's developer session.
