Title: The game you mostly play
Post by: Hoja Lateralus on February 26, 2015, 02:06:16 pm
What games (apart from goio) are you playing? You can either tell one your favourite game or just the one you recently play.

For me both categories are filled by Europa Universalis IV

GOIO I do probably play the most, however, I recently have gotten very hooked into the game Verdun. For anyone that doesn't know about it, it's basically a WW1 Trench warfare simulator, but, not bad. One of the most realistic game's I've ever played.

On PC, Team Fortress 2, and Killing floor (get hyped for KF2!)

On consoles, Diablo 3, Kingdoms of Amalur:Reckoning, and dead space 2(I have made very little progress in DS2, if you played it please no spoilers)

I played my Wii U a ton back home because it's the best console out there right now (which I will argue if anyone wants me too) but I ain't got a TV at college, so it's strictly PC for me here. I picked up Hitman: Absolution in the last humble bundle,  and thats a lot of fun. I've been playing a lot of Payday 2 with one of my IRL friends which is a blast as well. Cole Phelps is my spirit animal, and I played Fallout NV a ton on my 360, and am slowing working my way through it again. With mods.

Elder scrolls: Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim. I used to play Arena too, much love for the Elder Scrolls games (except ESO which I ignore the existence of as the game is too focused on selling to "mainstream ideals" to be as good as the other elder scrolls games.)

Defiance (pre- free to play) One of the first 1mil damage counts against the big monkey boss when it first came out! A great fun game if you're into shooters in apocalypse settings, also fun if you like driving around and being a hired gun, though for a multiplayer it lacks in decent team play community.

Lord of the rings online: Lots of time and money invested in this game long ago, maybe I'll go back to it one day, but not too soon.

Lego Universe: Why oh why Lego did you give up on this fun little gem!
A plot of land to build your own creations on! Fun easy to play adventures to collect more blocks to build with, or money to buy the blocks!
A shame they wrote it off. :(

Space Engineers: Because space and building is fun!
Had the pleasure of meeting their lead Dev Marek Rosa by pure chance during a traditional Czech/Slovak meet on High Tatra! :)

Landmark: I really should play this more with my gaming partner! We intend to build either a goldfish or pyramidion once we get settled into the game. :)

Kerbal Space Program: Because launching your own Kerbal Minions into orbit around the planet is fun, and setting challenges for Jacob is fun too! :)

Mass Effect 3 (PS3) Because reasons!

Rage (PS3) Because apocalypse reasons!

SSX Tricky and SSX (PS3) because snowboarding is fun.

Age of empires, 1, 2 (pc) RTS at its retro-best.

Toy Commander (Dreamcast) because it reminds me of when I played with toys as a kid!

Life Is Fiedal (your own) though its been a long time since I played, I look forward to the MMO's release.

Before GOI I played a lot of Mount & Blade. If I can't commit to a full game of GOI I play subnautica or Puzzle Quest. I also like flight sims like IL-2 and Rise of Flight.

Ohh M&B, my travel friend when on long journeys with laptop and no WiFi!

Also I should have mentioned Puzzle Pirates.
Good for team play and puzzles!


Soo many games! Not enough time!

My top 3 are IL 2 Sturmovik 1946, STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl, and Morrowind.

Wargame and GoI are my favorite online but Wargame is very challenging.

Can't wait for KF2!

Hmm, well, depends on how far back we go.

I used to play WoW quite alot. I was raid healer and Alistair was raid tank for our guild. Before Panda Expansion we quit though. Our guild was fantastic which was the reason we stuck around as long as we did, but the quality of game as well as the feeling of paying for a second job kinda killed it for us. We tried other MMOs but never really found one that worked. I play an awful amount of Skyrim (over 600 hours, shhh...) and games like Borderlands+, Dishonored and until recently due to the balls up on Ubisoft, Assassins Creed.

Now outside of video games I usually run a table top rp. I have a Dark Heresy 2ed going on as well as a 7th Sea game once a week or so. I've played a ton mainstream and some indy RP games (from old and new World of Darkness and expansions, AD&D and up, Pathfinder, 7th Sea, Five Rings, ect) I also play table top miniature games such as Warhammer 40k (have a chaos and tyranid army, so the underdogs as it were) and once in a while Malifaux (think grim magic alt history steampunk western and that's something close to what Malifaux is.)

When I'm not playing games I write terrible fan-fic of games I love...so still something to do with games. Or paint mini's for games, or write settings for other games....hmm...I might have a problem...naaaahhh

Lately this week. Nothing, nothing at all.

Week before that ziggurat and goio.

Guys help I don't want to play video games very much anymore. [Well actually, maybe don't help it could be a good thing.]

Before GOI I played a lot of Mount & Blade.

Mount and Blade. Yea. I think I sunk more time in M&B than any other game. I should have a save where I conquered all of Calradia. Day one-thousand something.

I just picked up Saints Row 4 on sale. I've been playing quite a bit of that. (22 hours in the past two weeks)


My favorite game of all time? Guns of Icarus Online, Ziggurat, Realm of Mad God, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Pandora: First Contact, and This War of Mine.

Guns of Icarus Online has a great community.
Ziggurat is a good rogue-like. I'm waiting for a sequel or something.
Realm of Mad God is good for burning 5~10 min.
XCOM: Enemy Unkown, I simply enjoy.
Pandora: First Contact, in my opinion, is a better game than Civ Beyond Earth. Shame it isn't as popular.
This War of Mine... I cried after I survived it.

Team Fortress 2 & Chivalry: Medieval Warfare are my other go-to pvp games. I absolutely adore Don't Starve and the multiplayer beta. I've also been playing Darkest Dungeon.

My favorite game of all time must be neverwinter nights, I used to spend hours playing the game on persistent worlds in online multiplayer with hardcore roleplayer. I played the game for 7 years time, was fucking brilliant.

Besides that I spent a lot of time playing warcraft 3 tft custom maps with my friends, we had a blast and would bring this game up at lan parties and play different gamemodes.
I also played call of duty 2 and call of duty mw1 a lot back when, those games were brilliant.

Then I slowly took the transition into league of legends, which i played for roughly 2 years before getting tired of it, and eventually finding guns of icarus which i have been playing since release.
Currently I use most time playing smite with my friends, really like that game.

Child of Light

but it's so overshadowed by how much time I spend in GoIO that it's barely worth mentioning XD I have a large stockpile of games collecting dust...

PS that's the game I've most recently played for any length of time, but is far from my favorite, though it is a beautiful and awesome game.
Title: Re: The game you mostly play
Post by: Arturo Sanchez on February 26, 2015, 09:12:45 pm
too many to name.

So I'll go by genre.

2D "spectcle fighters" (rbo, phantom breaker) or beat'em ups (castle crashers).

Anything by behemoth.

Anything by rayark. and other rhythm games mainly my android.

Arena fighters (smash, lethal league, magical festa)

the full touhou library (even doujins). so schmups and the whole danmaku scene.

isometric turn based strats. like disgaea.

rts (all the dawns of the wars)

mother fucking chess.

Hardcore rsi platformers (strider, prinny).

stupid android games my friends make.

Whatever playtestrix pays me to play.


These are just my leanings, but I do play a huuuuge variety of games. Only thing I avoid are stupid sandbox games. If I wanna be creative I'll get a goddamn pen and paper.

the rhyming tho... its so bad... so forced...

Theres a rhythm and pattern to balladic writing. Simply rhyming is not creative.

That being said pretty game, but who cares because transistor scratches that itch.

I have been playing a metric fuckton of Fallout: New Vegas lately.  I think I might need help.  Fav games... Anything from Bioshock, Borderlands, or (As of a few weeks ago) Fallout.  Please, for the love of god, someone smack sense into Ken Levine, yell at Gearbox to get moving, and plead to Bethesda with puppydog eyes so they make Underground Bioshock/Borderlands 3/Fallout 4!!

Also played a bit of Far Cry 3, Just 'Cause 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, and I've been meaning to play Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages and Agarest: Generations of War lately... BUT I DON'T CARE MINOTAUR AND I'M FINALLY IN VEGAS, BABY.  TIME TO GO GET MAULED BY DEATHCLAWS/CAZADORES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WASTELAND!

Actually when I last saved a pack of 5 Deathclaws mauled Veronica and knocked her out, came for me, and then I ran away.  ATM my character is locked in stasis behind a small hill while the Deathclaws lope away from me and poor V.

The GOTY edition of NV isn't too expensive, and well worth the price.  I would recommend getting the Project NEVADA mod.  It's absolutely amazing.  Every single skill has a use, S.P.E.C.I.A.L. is a great system, and the loot ranges from BB guns to power armor to chainsaw knives.  Basically it's a total blast.

I'd say you might like Caesar's Legion over the NCR, though :3

I've been mostly playing loads of Need For Speed World (I grew up on Need For Speed Underground 2, so its only natural), alongside some TrackMania United.

I would be playing GoIO, but unfortunately my laptop has a weird sound issue with the game now whenever I want to play it (there is no sound once I open it up). Been meaning to seek help in that regard.

Who here is a fan of the Tribes series? Latest game in it is "Tribes Ascend" but my favorite is still the original "Starsiege Tribes" followed by" Tribes Vengeance."

Post by: HamsterIV on February 27, 2015, 02:11:28 pm
It is one of those Free to Play, Pay for in game items that effect game play. Some people find that business model offensive and call it "Pay to Win." I forked out $20 to buy an extra class and a new weapon for the scout class. I wasn't winning before I made that purchase and I wasn't winning after I made that purchase. The game's skill ceiling is extremely high and I just don't have the chops to be a top player.
Title: Re: The game you mostly play
Post by: Kamoba on February 27, 2015, 02:18:08 pm
Ahaa that's why I didn't get it!
I remember now..
I read player reviews, I remember one positive review of a guy who admitted not being good at the game, shelling out cash and still being bad, and a bad review of a guy who claimed p2w, I think I may still.give it a go (if ever I fond time :) will poke my gaming partner too, see what she thinks :) )

Title: Re: The game you mostly play

Tribes: Ascend is pretty much dead as far as i know. The devs stopped supporting it to work on SMITE.
Title: Re: The game you mostly play
Post by: Alistair Marlowe on February 27, 2015, 05:03:22 pm
I used to play tribes ascend (juggernaut for the win) up til that hilariously broken engineer gear patch that gave them crap like homing missile launchers.  It was sad to see they'd dropped it entirely as I've always liked the tribes gameplay, but ascend was rapidly becoming a clustercuss.

As far as things I play outside of GOIO, I play Borderlands 2 and Pre-Sequel, Kerbal Space Program, Fallout NV, Magicka Wizard Wars, Warhammer 40k Space Marine and, most recently, the Homeworld remaster.  It feels like every change made in that overhaul was for the better.

Oh, before GOIO, my steampunk needs were met by Renaissance Heroes. The debs closed it down due to lack of interest.
Well.. it was an Aesthetically pleasing tf2 where everyone plays the Scout. The game play was pretty unchanging. :(

That sounds like my dream game :D Not that tf2 is ugly it had very nice art style, at least stock. New cosmetics look ugly.

I love the concept of tribes but unfortunately have no access to a windows PC. However there's a really nice 2d shooter called Teeworlds with tight sliding/grappling/rocketjumping mechanics that enable pretty insane maneuvers, and the weapons are projectile-based forcing prediction. It feels similar to tribes, and there are impressive videos on youtube of what people can accomplish.

@alistair how are the formation/tactics mechanics? Do they use the awesome hw1 system or the hw2 system? It was fun toggling between agressive/evasive tactics, or setting up corvettes around a miner in a sphere formation to defend against harassing light craft.

In all honesty I haven't played Tribes Ascend in over a year. I am a big fan of the tribes franchise and I think it scratches some of the same gaming itches that GOI scratches, which is why I brought it up. Call me an old fogie but I couldn't get into tribes Ascend because the weapon physics were different than the Tribes games I played in my youth. I couldn't get used to the player's momentum being added to the projectile velocity. Also Tribes Vengeance (last installment in the franchise) had a frikken grappling hook and Ascend did not. How can you take away a grappeling hook from a game about human jetpack ballistics?

When a dev team takes something away from their franchise they're doing something wrong. (Elder Scrolls magic and skills system.) Tribes grappling hook...

Although at least they didn't do an EA...
"Lets add so much **** everyone will forget the feature we don't like!

Oh some.other games I used to play...
(Mr Disaster said to avoid long lists, so just for you Mr D! 8) )

Simon the sorcerer. Great for a laugh!
Simon the sorcerer II. A great addition to the series, very funny and fun.
Simon the sorcerer 3D. I cried... Years of funding, encouraging the devs and waiting for this game, like seriously... Years.... And it was so concentrated on being 3D they ignored Story Line, quality of voice acting, jokes.... bugs... By god the bugs.. I played it as much as I physically could but the fix to a bug stopping me.completing the game means I'll never know what happened at the end...

Feeble Files. Funny, Omni presence, Space Bike, couldn't ask for much more :)

Odd worlds odyssey, my Uncle got this for me as a gift, I remember playing it like mad, now I see its on steam!!!

Mega drive: Sonic the hedgehog. - because, Sonic.

....

Soo many games... Not enough time...
Must build time.machine too...

I spent countless amount of hours playing Warcraft III RoC in my childhood. Probably more than all other games combined together. Then I went through a lot of amazing games including Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Tribes:Ascend, Minecraft and eventually Guns Of Icarus Online. Currently my main game I play everyday since a year is osu! (got bored of standard and moved into Catch The Beat gamemode)

I might have severe lingual problems explaining. In Polish this would be easy.

Mass Effect is: boring, linear, bloated, poorly-written, psychologically shallow, without any reasonable, legitimate appearance of having real choice. The "Role-Playing" is reduced to either be a bloated saint, addressing an audience with reportedly pathetic speeches, or being... a bloated saint, addressing an audience with reportedly pathetic speeches, with a little flavor of being an asshole added. The way of leading the story (among many other elements) seem to be a total rip off from KOTOR2, I can even say that ME could be, in my opinion, called a retarded brother of KOTOR2. Getting back to role-playing and plot. Comparing ME to PS:T, for sake of far more brutal comparison: the Mass Effect can't stand a chance in such terms. Oh, you knocked down the oversensitive scientist. Woooooow. You are so damn evil. It's totally not like in PS:T, where being evil was genuinely heart-ripping experience, after which you felt like a bag of shit for weeks.
No matter what you do, you will end up in the same point in plot eventually, your choices rarely seem to feel like having any consequences. Goddammit - I remember choosing one from two dialogue options - and my character saying the other one! Of for fucks sake. And that bullshit wheel, stripping the dialogues of any nuances between options, like for example in Arcanum, where two similar looking options something completely different sometimes, and persuading at some moments required a genuine empathy and thought to be successful.
Oh, and I remember sidequests of Arcanum. Plenty of them. When I say plenty, I mean wicked fuckload. And I mean... etc.
The world of Mass Effect feels dead to me, dead and not entertaining.

Mass Effect's plot is centered around the glorious overlord Herr Shepherd, or whatever was his/hers name saving the whole fucking galaxy, by speaking bloated, pompous speeches, usually being more or less the same, or at least leading to the same point. It's fucking flat as the floor in my room. You may try to reach some cracks, but you'll discovered, disappointed, there are not really developped.

Planescape Torment is centered around the main hero's history, revealing it, with all the consequences, dealing with conscience. And I'll reveal no more. It's extremely personal, focused on several characters, the specific bounds with people following him. Goddammit, so many times I cowered on the floor and wept, due to the emotional overload.

Arcanum... is twisted, and a bit epic. But epic in a very good taste. Yeah, you may point out some points in the story to be visited, so the plot can develop, but... you don't really have to. As a person who had beaten this game eleven times, eleven different ways I CAN tell - the diversity of the approach is astounding. Contrary to Planescape Torment, it takes us all around the continent, forcing us to visit many places and follow the plot. The more we are in the game, the more we discover - the less we know. And as we approach the ending, filled with extremely well written, thought-provoking many times story, the puzzles gathered are slowly falling into places. And the ending... ending twists... No.

Mount & Blade: Warband (1056 hours). Almost only the multiplier. I play competitively... or at least, used to. My clan got some extremely skilled recruits, (the best inf and archer NA, along with 2 highly skilled EU cav) bumping me off the competitive team ;-; 

It's learning curve is way worse than GoIO's. At 200ish hours I was happy to get an even KD on the noob servers.

I recently was gifted ARK Survival by my dad via steam (gamer dads ftw) as an early birthday present from my mum and dad... So expect me to have a new mostly played while I tame Dinos to make an army of Dinos to hunt a dragon with...

TB is setting up a village in ARK, I don't play it personally because I am too busy murdering tank crews in War Thunder, but seems very nice.

Also, with 404 I was introduced to Killing Floor, never found a game so repetitive and yet entertaining. Amiccciiii

I'm tempted to eventually get ARK just because I was a huge Dinoriders nut as a kid. Even though now I can barely remember the show. Don't even think I watched all of it, seem to remember it either got canceled or the network put on that moronic Denver Dinosaur show and moved the time slot and I was so ticked I changed channels. Seem to remember there was about 5+ Saturday morning cartoon channels back then, all with good stuff.

Apart from GoI, I also play Space Engineers.

This can sometimes be coorperative however, I mainly just join the building servers. make a massive mining vessel and them crash into the hard work of peoples bases and begin the mining process which will make a massive hole in the middle of bases. (Im a bad person when im am bored...)

Apart form that, I also play War Thunder. Despite this, I have not played in about 2 weeks as I gave up trying to save up for the Class 5 Venom when I need to still purchase the unlocked Mosquito and Beaufighter...

Recently I solve more differentials than play games (fuck Calculus 2 - at the end of this month is going to be my 4th and 5th take on that enormous bullshit); if I do something connected with games - it's rather coding my own, Embrace The Void.

Embrace The Void is going to be a 2D topdown shooter, with gameplay being a sort of homage to ol' good shooters like Doom, Blood, Duke Nukem 3D - I mean: exploring maps, looking not only for exit, but also for secrets crucial to survival, as they contain guns, armor, medkit, and most of all: Ammo.

For now it looks like this:

We have dynamic lighting to obscure players visuals, and nice basis to create more. Still, there are many things to do.

Oh, yeah. We also have a small OST (https://soundcloud.com/thy-ordeal/sets/embrace-the-void-pc-game), which is awesome.

Nice! looks great and the music choices are Astounding, will give a great environment of fear in the dark levels.   :)

Thank you! Actually, the music was ordered rather than found or chosen. I told a guy what we need, shown him some screenshots, and told more about atmosphere we wanted, and he did those 4 tracks. :)

Actually, that's a sort of "my mark" on all the games I do: I say "NO FUCKING WAY" to music found on the Internet, I prefer finding a person who is able to create and record something original for my creations. ^^

But I must say, that much of atmosphere ideas come from good old Blood - game from 1995, created on the engine of DN3D. It's soundtrack and gameplay are astounding, and this game is one of more forgotten gems...

Edit: Honestly - all those levels will seem dark. Even though it's a topdown, the player will only see a cone similar to the line of sight of human being, as presented on the screenshot. I also want to experiment with lightings - spawning much darker light from players cone, and add source of light on my level, even better - scripted sources, so you can achieve old Id Software trick of triggering the trap that opens walls hiding enemies and shut down the exterior lighting. :D

That's the only thing so far I've recorded. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M6OMFzWGNY&feature=youtu.be) It's a little crappy, because it was 16th take (I started fucking it up when I started recording) and I was pissed, so I forced it a bit...

I also write music for my death metal  band. ^^ Not Cannibal Corpse kind of metal... rather something between progressive, melodic and technical death metal, with some weird influences.

VERVERYVERY ABRIDGED;

Terraria pits you against an absolutely merciless world.  It's your job to build shelter, mine for resources, and hunt monsters to get the gear you need to defeat the numerous bosses in the game.  They, in turn, drop great loot, and so on and upwards until you're fighting the Frost Moon, which is currently the toughest End Game event.

On top of this, there is a spreading, evil biome called the Corruption (Or depending on the world, the Crimson) that WILL take control of every single block in a world if it is not maintained and controlled.

There's a second half of the game called Hardmode.  Killing a boss called the Wall of Flesh, located in the Underworld and summoned by sacrificing your Guide via dropping a Guide Voodoo Doll in the lava, will activate it.  It involves new, tougher bosses, the ability to break Demon Altars to spawn new, powerful ore, and a flood of new, powerful mobs.  By far the most drastic change is a huge new vein of corruption that appears, and an entirely new, also spreading Biome called the Hallow to contend with.  The Hallow in game is portrayed as a 'good' biome, but make no mistake; Pixies, Unicorns, and flying pink bubbles will not hesitate to gib you.

After progressing far enough in Hardmode, you kill a boss called Plantera.  Killing Plantera changes your dungeon, turning up the difficulty to 11, as they say.  This new, Hard Dungeon is the source of even more new mobs and gear, some of which is absolutely monstrous in power, but even those items are eclipsed eventually.

And that just isn't advertised. Tame the world? You build a little box and sit in it till night is over, then fight the same slimes or critters that respawn constantly during the day. There is nothing that says, oh theres monsters and bosses to defeat for epic loot. Although I had seen info on COOP battles/etc, the thought of fighting bosses with the combat system Terraria has just doesn't make me want to spend the time to get to the bosses/etc.

Terraria's combat system isn't hugely deep, no, but it takes a lot of skill not to die outright during some of the bossfights, even with endgame gear.

Recently I removed GOIO from my HDD - I felt it started to sprung toxic, melancholic, depressive thoughts, because fuck my brain - and purchased CS:GO.

...after tormenting myself for 11 hours - because I'm one persistant basterd - I wished I had never bought this game. Not because it sucked me in, quite the contrary.

You people think the GOIO players might seem toxic?
Oh hell no.

The level of stupidity and debiliating, overgrown egos is over 9-fucking-thousand.
Alko recommended me to play on community servers - wasn't much better.
Matchmaker of CS:GO - yeah, still broken, though faster.

The basis are easier to comprehend than those of GOIO, though CS require far more skill - I was aware of that, so I started from practicing with bots, to get to know maps and practice headshots.

The fucking thing is - even though CS bots are good, playing with other people is completely different; as I said, I have nothing against being defeated by more skilled players, but ffs. The time you sit down doing absolutely NOTHING is, like, 70% of a game. The only moment I had a pleasant experience with that sodding sack of shit was when I carried a team (after 8 hours of playing lol) with my M4A1 headshots... which are not very accurate and even worse by my bad reaction time...

Fuck this game.

And fuck Steam refunds - they won't give me my money back because I forced myself to find those mythical positive sides of CS for 11 hours, when refunding is possible only under sodding 2...

Sorry, had to vent my frustration...

right since the first cs. crouching has always been the method for hold your position.

Because 1. you are a smaller target when most people aim for heads that are on standing position.
2. recoil is significantly lessened. Making far more accurate shots vs a guy moving around and trying to get same headshot, plus his shot have more recoil. Guess who's gonna die.

sonic rush complete. pokemon trading card game complete. Literally won the final fight with 0 cards on my deck. If I didn't win that coin flip I needed, I would have lost by default even if I did survive the Ronald's turn.

now working my way through kirby super star ultra and gun volt. fire emblem on hold... because disgaea ds is coming.

Planning to get a new 3ds xenoblade limited edition because buying direct from nintendo gets you a charger, an amiibo as well as the game and the console.

Why get a 2nd 3ds? Well... I need to test a theory. If I'm right I might have found a way to get infinite copies of smash bros via my limited edition smash 3ds.

Your 3ds will have to be empty on the SD card.

The method involves using the data transfer feature on a 3ds when you're upgrading to a better model.

So if you want the copy you are gonna need to have an empty SD card. So essetentially its only for people that have bought new 3DS/ If this was intentional on Nintendo's part they are freaking geniuses. As they might lose sales on smash but their console sales would rise.


But yeah unless you wanna wipe your 3ds just to get a free copy of smash. I wouldn't ask.



also kirby super star ultra complete. Pretty fun game albeit short. I understand why people praise kirby super star so much. Haven't seen such good level design in a long time.

Bushman for stealth kills where the Z-93 just would not work well, Z-93 for basically everything other than that involving stealth and killing heavies easy and quick, ACE for FUCK EVERYTHING, and SPAS-12 for CQC carnage.

Long Live the Queen is something I've been meaning to try.

Then nuzlocke it. Literally upgrade only what lets you progress. And voila instant not easy.

And long live the queen is a cheapp death simulator. Unless you've previously played or using a walkthrough you cannot get an ending you want because it throws you curve balls that you cannot possibly prepare for unless you cheated.

No warnings for any kind of event. It just happens and you pray you got the right skills up to deal with it.

This might take days to finish, but from the new games I do like Killing Floor 2, GTA 5 and Shadow Warrior (both the classic and the new one). I think it's quite hard for me to answer this question, since I like to switch it up from time to time and then come back. I do, however, got back into Guns of Icarus after a very long time. I missed this game, so this is going to be one of the main games I will play now.

So you're saying spend no skill points, craft nothing but syringes, and use nothing but the M1911 for the entire game?

That is beyond difficult, M1911 isn't gonna even begin to scratch Privateers, they have like twice the health of Pirates and it takes awhile to kill them with it.

Yeah, this is partially true. But that's the design - you play once and based of your desicions and the tests you failed you can either change your decisions or prepare. But yeah, I'll probably use sort-of walkthrough or at least a cheat sheet with the most important events written down.

It is highly dissapointing that some events have literally no effects in the plot regardless you pass the test or not. And some skills are really useless or worse - extremely important but they must be maxed out to pass just one test during whole run.

Is Stanley Parable similar to Long Live the Queen? I wouldn't say so, in any way. I consider Stanley Parable more as a "walking simulator" kind of game and Long Live the Queen as visual novel with some cool progression elements (or some kind of visual novel - rpg mix). Thanks for the recommendation nonetheless, I've played some Stanley Parable a while ago.

If the end times retcon (thanks for ruining my favourite fantasy universe GW) is any indication. Chaos has always won.

Nid's suffer a similar issue to the necrons. They can't touch chaos. They can destroy its agents but chaos itself. Nope.


And the space marine game was planned to be a trilogy. Captain Titus was meant to go with the black templar. Then goes renegade and is followed by those who remained loyal to him. He explores why he's immune to chaos as he thwarts chaos and eventually founds his own chapter.

Frankly I have always thought Space Marine should have been a Grey Knights game. No 40k video game plot ever stops at the first enemy.

The final boss is always freaking chaos in the end.

If I ever have a free moment, I play Dragon's Dogma
Dragon's Dogma is a game that has a noticeable lack of content but is just so much fun to play

You can just tell that this was a game that the game developers had been dreaming of making since their childhood and there is just so much love in it I don't even know where to begin.

Think of your "idea" fantasy party and the roles that they play. In this game it amplifies them to an ungodly amount
Ranger - Can fire 10 arrows in rapid succession (You literally fire a shot gun), you can snipe, and charge up a single shot that cracks the silence like a gun shot
Strider - Can climb huge enemies (Shadow of the Colossus style), even flying enemies faster than every other class and you literally rip them open with daggers
Sorcerer - Rain meteors showers, Summon Tornadoes that bounce enemies in the air, unleash a Glacier that impales a north pole into enemies
Mystic Knight - Think of a Paladin that acts as a tactician you apply buffs, lay down traps, and when you time a perfect block on an enemy with a buffed magic shield.... time stops, the ground shakes, and the frame rate goes negative.

Oh and most importantly, the game is actually hard and so you have to use those skills "skillfully".
I guess all the experience in Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry payed off for Capcom.

There's no co-op but to compensate, a frustratingly annoying AI pawn system that you eventually get used to. They never shut up but they grow on you after all those well-timed meteors as well as adapting to your play style the more you play a certain class.

The game still has a community after all these years in the Xbox Gamefaqs Forum and it's pretty tight. There's an online raid for the Ur Dragon hunt and some of the skill videos for that make you wonder how many decades you would have to sacrifice in order to pull those tricks off.

It is a game that is a janky mess at times but is just too much fun. They announced a free to play MMO version of the game without a western release and that sort of pissed me off. But to be able to swing around monsters (Like in Attack on Titan), summon tornadoes, unleash Arrow fed Artillery... but with friends
Looks like I found my new home for the next two years and I'm happy Capcom didn't forget they still had this IP under their belt.

Playing disgaea ds (already played the psp version and the ps2 version to completion). oh dear god I forgot how addictive and fun this is.

Its so clever because its a game all about cheating. e.g. to lvl up you could be a tool and just grind and slowly beat stronger and stronger enemies.

Or you can be smart by lvling one character up the butt and lvl everyone else up via team attacks or tower combos as well as buying end game items early and making a lvl 1 character as strong as the last boss of the game.

Currently making a galaxy mage that knows every spell in the game so she can beat the game all by herself by stacking buffs. and firing off any elemental spell needed to maximise dmg (and do it with aoe that can hit nearly every enemy that can hurt her before they reach her). as well as the ability to full heal herself including status affects.

add in end game items that makes her near untouchable anyway.

the completely perfect invincible character.

Monster Hunter is a glorious game. I had 500+ hours dumped into my PSP before my brother broke it.

The game I mostly play is Mount & Blade: Warband, having almost 1600 hours. That amount of hours is measly compared to many people in the competitive scene, who are mostly upwards of 3000+. The competitive scene in Warband is similar to that in GoIO in that it is driven by a small amount of people.

I assume this is vita because past gen psps are dirt cheap now. and they had the advantage of easily transferring saves via switching out the memory sticks.

and then logging onto psn to register the new psp (sadly can only be done 3 times) if you so happen to have a few digital games.




Ah my psp... so many games. lots of nippon ichi ones actually. disgaea 1 and 2, the VN infinite, the hardcore platformer prinny 1 and 2, phantom brave, hero guy (I forget the name)...

and those games you can play for enternity because the max lvl is 9999 with the ability to infinitely new game plus and reincarnate your character back to lvl 1 but keeping most of its stats to wen it was 9999.




recently just bought the ds version and I suddenly find myself back in the black hole that is. I just spent 3 days straight doing 10 hour lvl grind binges and planning meticulously what skills to teach. So I can create weird characters like healers that can cast ultra strong attack magic.

A succubus that can has the most powerful spells in the game.

And OP magic casters having the absurd ability to maintain themselves with healing magic and buffs instead of requiring support from support classes.

add the fact that I have 3 brawlers that can tank Baal the strongest thing in the game in total and 8 gunmen (thief, scout and EDF soldier)/archer types (healers, angels and my 1 archer) to bombard enemies that try to fight my brawlers.


just steam rolling through the game because to play a nippon ichi game, you're taught to use the systems it has to "cheat" your way into victory.

I tried to get into borderlands, but just couldn't. I'm sure I'll pick it up again, but it's just so... bleak. Not in that fun way like fallout is, in a headache inducing way. I understand some of the charm, but I'm really gonna have to work at finishing it.

First Borderlands doesn't have much in the way of variety, no.  2nd alleviates this somewhat, and then the "third" is somewhere in the middle.

Saint's row III and IV are amazing, get both.

Does Saints Row III have superpowers?
I think not. Case closed.

More seriously though, SR IV is my first contact with the series and I'm expecting previous games not to be as good as the newest one.

Title: Re: The game you mostly play
Post by: Schwalbe on October 30, 2015, 07:29:22 pm
What I meant was: Troika made games buggy as fuck, this is true and nobody denies that. BUT. There was always something so good it made those titles not only worth saving, but also legendary of a sort; Arcanum and Bloodlines, my God, those were true cRPGs, filled with great story, characters, atmosphere. Temple Of Elemental Evil - extremely sophisticated combat, perfect for those who seek things like that.

Obsidian is very close to make such games, but there's always something lacking - I see quite a pattern in Obsidians titles: the ending sections of the game seems rushed. There's also something quite disquieting among their games, at least for me: When you put it for, let's say, a week... it stays untouched. I'm talking about New Vegas and Pillars Of Eternity particularly.

Let me remind you fellas, I played Arcanum through 11 times, with 11 different characters, and 11 different set of choices. The only reason I'm replaying Bloodlines just now is that I got few months back and after ending it I had literally no time to play it again.

Depends on what you seek. For a fan of the series it is a blashpemy.

If you want a top down, engrossing RPG experience, you want FO1 and 2.

If you want a good shooter with admittedly rusty gunplay, but a good progression system and a decent storyline, pick up FO3.

If you want a version of FO3 with even more freedom to change the plot and infulence the world around you, great modding potential, AND better gunplay/companions, however a slightly worse story, pick up NV.

If you want a great shooter that has tons of gear, options to customize said gear, possibly the coolest power armor in any fallout, and a massive amount of freedom, with a risky, revolutionary perk based, unlimited progression system, pick up FO4.

I, personally, am a fan of it.  Is it classical Fallout?  Not in any way, shape, or form.

But it's a great game, easily GOTY.

From what I've seen, anyway, I can't run it.

That's pretty good, but add in Borderlands for the gun variety.

Gunplay isn't quite BSI style, guns don't kick enough, or have that same satisfying impact, and accuracy is a legitimate issue.  Gunplay is more Mass Effect style, and it's kinda BSI-ish because much like BSI it went from dark and gloomy world to bright and colourful world.

If you added in more of the je ne sais quoi that made FO1-3 and to an extent New Vegas such good games, FO4 would easily be the best Fallout of all time.

Pillars Of Eternity is a RPG done by Obsidian (same guys who made KOTOR2 or New Vegas, consisting of some famed guys like Chris Avellone - who wrote, for example, Planescape: Torment, and recently joined Tim Cain - the guy who was a lead programmer for first Fallout and core of the Troika Games), who many consider sort of the nostalgic come-back for older RPGs like aforementioned Planescape: Torment or rather more like Baldur's Gate.

Witcher 3 has an enormous open world. It's gorgeous, and at least, hardware requirements are waaay more than justified. Fighting isn't like Skyrim's [spits] "Hit and die", nor Dark Souls' "Hit and RUN, BITCH! RUUUUN!", it's something in between - I'm not a fan, but it feels much better than Witcher 2 fighting. The size of the open world is also justified - you can fast travel, but going by horse through long distances may achieve you finding new quests, secrets, etc. Seriously, people recommend afak not to use fast travel at all, for you may avoid many interesting things. That is unlike bloody Fallout's 3 open world I always find dull and boring, though this is me.

W3 has plenty of interesting characters. Even supposidly small quests can turn into something different in progress. The morality is totally gray, there are plenty of times you choose lesser evil. Dialogs are well written, and the world lives, is interesting - unlike in most of Bethesda's titles, seriously come on.

When we come to Fallout 4 we see that this is only the proof, that throwing money at a problem is not the way to solve it. Oh, by the way. Quests like "hurr durr make 5 beds", oh for fuck's sake. What the fuck is this? Minecraft? FPS? No, sir. Fallout is supposed to be RPG, and what Bethestards made is parody at best. I'm not even mentioning recycling of an awful lot of story assets from Fallout 3, contradicting the lore, naivety, general ridiculousness, etc, etc, etc.

tl;dr: Witcher 3 is the way. Fallout3/4 and Bethesda in general - cancer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ierCLIodtkQ). By the way: https://www.change.org/p/zenimax-media-inc-contract-obsidian-entertainment-for-future-fallout-games?recruiter=423581474&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink (https://www.change.org/p/zenimax-media-inc-contract-obsidian-entertainment-for-future-fallout-games?recruiter=423581474&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink)


Also remember, you are talking with a guy who consider Mass Effects a cancerogene piece of shit. Because when I play RPG game I want - guess what - roleplay and at least some sort of freedom of creating my story, because story is far more important for me than anything in this genre. Meanwhile, what Mass Effect offers? Stuffed main character, "commandurr Shephard", which it shoves you RIGHT. IN. THE. FACE. LOOK AT HIM. LOOK. HE'S FABULOUS.

Excuse me, while I throw up.

Sorry if I go to far and somebody feels offended, this is surprisingly my opinion. Also, I just woke up.


Edit: If Fallout 4 gets GOTY instead of Witcher, then this is not the industry I wished to work at, and this world is fucking retarded.
Title: Re: The game you mostly play
Post by: ShadedExalt on November 18, 2015, 09:17:19 am
I'll have to look into PoE, then, interesting.

I think what your main problem is, is that it's not a true cRPG, and more in the fashion of an FPS.  I agree with some of your grievances, all of which are legitimate, (Except Bethesda being cancer) and you have valid points.

That said, I enjoyed Skyrim, and I definitely enjoy FO4, even just watching it.

While I do wish it had a ton more of the elements from New Vegas, and going back to the original lore would be great (holy shit does Fallout have some great goddamn lore) but I like Fallout 4.  I like it, it looks good, it plays good, and bugs suck, yes, but in the 10+ hours I've watched of it I haven't seen anything gamebreaking- Most of them are funny, some of them are bad, but nothing that fucks you over horribly. 

I think we can agree to disagree; I see your points, and they are good ones that I agree with somewhat, and no Fallout 4 is not exactly Fallout, and I even agree that it should be with Obsidian;

But it's still a good game, and it's probably still gonna be GOTY.

Could you tell me more about the Witcher, though?
Title: Re: The game you mostly play
Post by: Schwalbe on November 18, 2015, 01:29:42 pm
...wow. I was afraid I'm gonna be shouted at because of the amount of morning salt there was in my post (I presume, had no balls to read it again). Well, thanks for patience. ^^

Pillars Of Eternity... weell, it's a good game, and it can be seen at first glance that Avellone had his part in writing, but somehow I started it, had to put it away because of work, and never actually came back. Instead I played through, for example, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. xD (great game too)

Yeah, Fallout being an FPS? Oh my God, I knew that industry gone to shit last decade, I was not prepared it went down that much...

I tried playing Morrowind, Skyrim, I played through Fallout 3 (forcing myself for the latter half, especially towards the end), and I still say - Bethesda is cancur. I'll say why in the next paragraph.

Bugs, meh. I'll be honest with you - games I praise a lot usually had fuckload of bugs, even gamebreaking (Arcanum, Vampire - history of the latter's release is actually a reason why I say fuck Activision with a ten foot pole)... but I considered them in terms of the story, the choices, the atmosphere, small detailes that made those worlds alive.

What's my biggest problem with Bethesda is, that they stories - in any game - is usually dull, not interesting, morally black and white (to a degree), and they do actually nothing to make player think deeper, like questions of Arcanum or Torment ( "what is the point of human suffering?" - the theme that is actually unveiled at the very end and it is shocking how all the puzzles fit, and "What can change the nature of man?" respectively). Instead what do you get? Wow, yer Dragonborn. Hurr durr. Wow, yer a son of yer father, go find him. Bla bla bla. Oh you did something wrong? How naughty of you, you don't make daddy proud! HURRRR. DURRRR.

Yeah, even Witcher that I mentioned had some bugs, wasn't best at first, but guys from CDPRed are too fucking smart not to listen to feedback.

What else can I say about Witcher? Well, this motherfucker does not certainly run on my PC. XD I played it a little on my friends computer when I had an opportunity, most I know I saw on let's plays. I'd link you them, but those are of Polish versions. Witcher 3 is definitely much better than Witcher 2, especially in terms o the story. It's really big - 100 hours is what you need to RUSH it. Some guys played it through in 250 hours.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6QoEUqadW4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6QoEUqadW4) - don't like him, but in his 5 first minutes he got some good highlights of W3. I highly disagree, Fallout 4 comparing to Witcher 3 does not deserve GOTY, not in the thousand years.

(interesting fact: the core of the Fallout 4 engine is dated back... to Morrowind. This is quite a fucking lot of time)

I did Coiler. Third installment was improved a little.

The rest? Well, what you've said is correct, even to quite a high degree. As I've said, I've quite high requirements for the story in cRPGs, and ME series DID NOT meet them. Oh, BioWare wrote 300 pages of scenario for first ME? [looks at Planescape: Torment] That's cute.

Also it's depressing for me, because people and industry switch focus from story driven RPGs to more action and Micheal-Bay-esque style of gameplay, and something like big, vast, rich cRPG was something I always wanted to create, from my very first contact with this genre. I literally feel I was born 20 too late.

People complain in fallout 4 that they are confined to one specific role, the concerned parent.

But you are also confined to one specific role in the witcher 3, Geralt the stoic Witcher.

I don't think that either of the game deserve the praise they are getting, and are not material for game of the year. (who cares about game of the year anyway)

The major problems about fallout 4 is pretty obvious, bad performances, the perk system, the conversation wheel etc. etc.
Its obviously a console port only deserving at maximum 7/10 until thats fixed.

The major problems about witcher 3 is the combat system, its basicly just dodge, hit, dodge hit etc. People say it gets repetitive very fast and it isn't that great to begin with. Witcher 3 also suffers from many bugs and repetitive sidequest stepping which has become a "quality" stamp in many rpg's these days.

But in the end its what people personally like playing. People playing fallout 4 on a console might have a better experience than I have, aswell as people who enjoy open world with immersive backstory to the world enjoys the witcher.

Me personally I like immersive backstory, but I don't really enjoy open world. Fallout New vegas had a good lenght and open area for me, but both witcher 3 and fallout 4 seem to be just to large. I mostly enjoy a story that follows a certain rail, but changes depending on what choices I have made, like dragon age origins did. And i Know dragon age origins isn't considered the best, but back then it was pretty amazing and new how things changed depending on your choices.
Everytime I see a game with a main quest and 600 different sidetracks I actually get scared away because I don't know if I will ever finish it.

From what I heard the best roleplaying game this year is Undertale so im gonna check that out at some point.

I just want to go back to Game of the Year award. If you have any respect for video gaming you should stop caring about this award.
Just like any award the title released closer to the award date are more likely to receive it, and release problems such as bugs etc. aren't counted as negatives.
It's what the big developers want, you to not give a fuck about the bugs or bad controls.

CONSENSUS:

New Vegas/Obisidian is the right path for Fallout, which should do away with the new perk system, go back to skills and the effects you had on the world around you, with original lore.

Fallout 4 is decent, but not as good as it could have been.

Sound about right?

Post by: DJ Logicalia on December 09, 2015, 04:11:12 pm
I like Fallout 4 quite a lot. I wanted to be a terrible hipster and hate it, but it's a really good game. The PC port is kinda bad, but the game is good. Is it Fallout? Eh, kinda.    There's a lot of bad things they did, especially with perks and dialogue, but it's still good, and I can't help but enjoy it

"Sunk" a bit of time into Steel Ocean recently. Actual Chinese F2P title that is pretty good. Either you love it or hate it. Depends how you view World of Warships. I didn't play that before hand so I love it. People say WoWs is better visually but it's lacking sub combat. Frankly I think I'd be bored without the sub combat. There are times when you want to just sit on the surface and decimate foes from afar with your battleship, and then times when you want to sneak up on that battle ship and cut it in half when your torpedo hits the fuel bay or the ammo stores.

When I'm not stuck in the fiery and ass-rape'y pits of my faculty, I replay - 12th time - Arcanum Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. But THIS time I intend to look at it from a distance, especially that last time I played it was before I played Planescape: Torment.

So far it's surprising (yeah, despite having 450+ hours in this game, it STILL surprises), how much 2 more-or-less small flaws in design can screw things up - first being: how much this game is similar in terms of complexity of mechanics to Fallout (well, Tim Cain programmed both) an yet - how unclear it seems, cause numbers are well-hidden, and second - awkward system of gaining experience, and how some things about it were not given enough thought. This made the combat far less appealing than it might be.

Fuck I missed this game.

PS: Fuck Activision.

Recently I've discovered this Doom2 mod (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FhNK5-FrEM).

By the Gods, how challenging, interesting and fun this is.
Which also shows, that a great game can last, and last forever - Doom2 is what, 22 years old? Shit's as old as I, and still kicks ass more than most FPS games (maybe save from Duke Nukem 3D).

Recently I bought XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
I've always heard much good about this game, and considering the fact I'm quite a fan of games like Jagged Alliance 2 (but fuck, fuck Wildfire as hard as it fucked me up) or Silent Storm 2 (1: Hey, I think I've heard someth- 2: DAKKA DAKKA DAKKAAAA 3: And a fucking TNT! 1: ...great work dumbfucks, ya killed a civilian 2&3: Lol), I thought I'll give it a go.

First complaint: You try to tell there's no position toggle? This is... this is... unusual, to say the least, considering just mentioned games. ^^

Second complaint: What's the fucking point of having an LMG (except for making MLG jokes) in yer squad, when game has no spread mechanic? I mean, the situation, when the bullet misses the target, and has a chance of hitting something else, as it does not magically disappear in thin air.

Third complaint is similar to the previous one. Let's consider a situation: You have a "human centepede" of soldiers, standing right in front of each other. Suddenly - a wild enemy appears in front. The last in line goes full-auto. What happens in games:


Aside from that - the game is good, challanging, has nice character customization (in terms of dem mad skillz (like motherfucking snipers, snipers OP)), and nicely done resource management.

PS: Fuck mutons.

You might've misunderstood, he means that the players are 13 years old


I bought a couple Tripwire games during the holiday sale: Rising Storm-Red Orchestra 2, and Killing Floor 2

RS/RO2 is an online WW2 shooter. It's a combo of two games with the same mechanics: US vs Japan and USSR vs Germany. I've had a lot of fun with its dynamic maps and squad tactics. It's billed to be "realistic" without sacrificing gameplay and it succeeds. Some may find it a turnoff that the default gun is the bolt action rifle, but it's fun to get good with and easy to pick up weapons. There's a leveling mechanic where you get slight boosts for your class and gun but it's not overpowered. The bots suck so it's best to find lobbies with near the full 64 players. This game was a great value for me

I was excited when KF2 was early released, having played 220 hours of the original, but my old laptop couldn't run it. KF2 is improved in every way over the original but it's the same game. I'm disappointing that it hasn't evolved and is very grindy. It's fun but hard to stay interested. It's been early access for a while without much added and I'm worried that it will be outdated by the time of the retail version. I haven't gotten $20 value out of it

I have maybe 10-11 hours in KF2 so far, and I'm enjoying it, but it needs some more content badly.  I like the idea of the big CONTENT UPDATES (Incinerate and Detonate, Return of the Patriarch), but if they could pepper some balance/teaser patches between that'd be amazing.

Killing Floor is a fun game but I already played it. I was hoping for something new but it's not. It's an easy game to like and many will get great value from it

The content packs are stuff that need to be in the game already, but they're released slowly. I'm worried that it's taking too long to develop and people will lose interest

Icarus uprising is pretty team-based (light vs dark)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=651RDNV-tKg

Team death match basically.

extra note-high rank weapon users kill off the team health by alot while low rank weapon users don't kill off as much.

also powers do not effect ranking. So some people use some really cheesy stuff. e.g. super powerful close range  weapon like a club. use spam transparency (turns you invisible to enemies) and then just kill them without them ever realising what killed them.

1 and 3, 1 AND 3! It would have made sense if they had only ported the first game, or for that matter the third, but no! NO! They ported both the first game AND the third, completely skipping the second, why? Microsoft you damned weirdos why?

I know!! :'(
The annoying thing is if they'd ported the second, it may have been enough sales to fund the next project (legends I think it was called?)

Fable legends yeah, it was the asymmetric 4Vs1 game they were working on.

But that aside I've been playing a lot of Mount and Blade: Warband lately as well possibly picking up Skyrim again for the upteenth time since it's release. Actually playing Skyrim this time to though I don't know if I'll stick with it, modding takes up space and I like space.

Ah! Warband!
What a wonderful game to play. When you are a king on your own it's quite stressful, but as long as you are a simple vassal everything is very manageable.

Recently playing This War of Mine, I highly recommend it, it's good, cheap and from a polish studio :3

Finally worked up the bother to play ocarina of time 3D.

I crushed it tho I din bother getting all the side quest trash (I reserve that stuff for hard mode on games).

I am however getting every heart piece on master quest mode. That being said the biggoron sword makes major threats a joke (add previous experience from the normal mode on enemy patterns). So I'm just collecting them out of a desire to have them all.

Just need the shadow and spirit temple. And once I get to the spirit temple I will have every heart piece since the last one is there.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight, game's beautiful and the soundtrack is great. It also actually plays well which is a plus for me.

I've recently came back to Jagged Alliance 2.

I remember when I switched from playing JA2 on easy to playing JA2: Wildfire on easy; Wildfire's 'easy' is vanilla expert high on amphetamine and cranked to 11 out of 10 when it comes to combination of ludicrous difficulty and bullshit RNG.

So, now, playing JA2 on Expert two or three years later after gidding gud is... well. Fairly easy. (though I know I'm still around the easy part of the game).

Damn, I missed this game.

ELLIOT, YOU IDIOT [slap sounds]

I went back to War thunder.
The first MMO to ever drive me insane with frusteration.
It was also the only game that got me angry enough to pick a fight with my muscle headed younger brother.

Been havin a blast. Old habits don't die so easily.

My favorite game besides Icarus has to be Starcraft 2.

I have also been enjoying Hearthstone recently.

Scrap Mechanic and Elder Scrolls Skyrim.. Does not matter if I have to go afk for whatever reason and am enjoying solo play without the drawbacks of people.
Pretty much hating people right now.

Damn I sound Emo...

I don't know if this counts, but I mostly play a little known game called Ban the user above you (https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,2668.new.html#new).  I guess it's sort of an MMO type game with no real ending.

Most MMOs don't have an ending :P

MMORPGs that I have played other than BTUAY at least had some sort of main story.  From day one, this one is straight to farming.
