    LOL, the back side is part of the fun, but the whole game is beautiful. In my opinion it is right after the BioShock series. The funny thing is that I got it just to try it out, and couple of days later I was at 96% completion. Mid-high ~30FPS, would definitely replay it maxed-out, that's why I want to postpone the new one - so many games, so little time, even without replaying them.

    Rainbow six siege is quite good, very nervous, a bit more realistic than BF3( which is good too), and what a teamplay.

    Fixed it for you :D
    Sorry, no pics this time, will have to use your imagination :(

    I will agree with the rest, who have said that you have to buy C:S like yesterday. Buy it, buy it noah (it's on sale ;))
    Can't wait for the add-on to come out! Still doing some improvements around my city.

    Bioshock. I bought all three bioshock games recently on a sale. The 1st bioshock has such great graphics...hard to imagine it's a 2008 game. Pretty interesting and unique game thus far.

    Been playing mad max for a while. Excellent game.

    Bought all three batman games recently hoping to dive into those some day. I got like 8 new games I haven't played.

    Mostly just mad max and bioshock right now.

    Oh yeah, I got the full set in a Steam sale about a year ago. Just never really got around to playing it. Replaying GTA V now. I actually sat down and watched Fame or Shame and the way the developers make satire of American pop and 'reality TV' is hilarious. Especially with Lazlow getting rekt by the British judge every time.

    Playing BFME 2 for the first time. Played BFME 1 a decade ago so why not.

    Not enough RTS games around these days. The game makes me feel nostalgic! Plus laptop runs silent playing it which is nice :)

    I started this one up. Always wanted to try it. Graphics are a bit dated, but so far seems pretty fun. Scared the bejeezus out of me a couple times already though, and I'm not easily frightened.

    Anyone here going to pick up Doom aka Doom 4 when it releases?

    Looks like good rampaging fun! A good opportunity to test my new 980M too :)

    I had fun with Doom 3 single player, but Doom 4 just looks like a multiplayer fragfest. Unless there is a decent single player like Doom 3, I'll pass.

    Have been playing a lot of Tom Clancys Rainbow six siege lately. I thought it was going to be a disappointment when it came out, but it's actually pretty fun with some friends.

    Pretty sure there will be a fairly long single player story. It basically fuses the existing story together and tells it again with better graphics and effects.

    Also a big plus is that it returns the game to its original feeling of fast and frenetic. I didn't like the scary approach they took with Doom 3. This is more in keeping with the original games of the early 90s :D

    Hmm, I kind of liked the creepy and scary of Doom 3. There's enough fast and frenetic games out there. I was never a huge fan of the original Doom games, but appreciated them for their technical merit at the time.

    Fair enough :) Each to their own! I hate creepy games.

    I forced myself to play F.E.A.R back in the day but it truly isn't my kind of thing.

    Let's see. Maybe someone will mod it to make it more creepy and dark.

    FEAR wasn't all that creepy IMHO other than an occasional scare, otherwise it was primarily a generic shooter.

    Speaking about frenzy, I miss Quake II and III multiplayer. SOOOO much fun! I'm not a fan of the new multiplayer games where one could stick somewhere and can't be touched for literary years.

    I lied, such a cliff hanger was the ending of Black Mirror II that I'm now playing III.

    Same here, tried it twice, I really couldn't get into it.

    If you guys are going to spoil the game, use the spoiler tag and add an equals sign and a short description of it being a game spoiler please - don't ruin the game for everyone. I haven't played that game either and now I already know something that happens. Posts have been edited and removed as appropriate.

    Appropriate use of the spoiler tag would be a description before or you can use the spoiler tag like this (spaces added to keep the forum from creating one)

    I'm still playing Rise of the Tomb Raider. Great fun. I like it. Cinematic. Some challenges are harder than others but I like that (so far) it's not impossible. Seems I missed some things but the story keeps moving so I'm OK. Lara is such a BAMF. I think of her more as a female Indy Jones than anything else. She's young and sassy and hard to find her sexy...

    It wasn't a spoiler. I myself don't know what happened to Evie, but after seeing a trailer for that DLC something bad must have happened for her to change that much in 20 years...

    The way you worded it came across as a spoiler and the follow up posts seemed to confirm it. Just try to be cognizant of what might ruin a game for someone.

    Mostly Europa Universalis IV still...

    Also playing around with the Alpha backer releases of Deliverance: Kingdom Come, which I'm looking forward to seeing the final release for (though that's still some way off).

    Once patch version 3.0 of Pillars of Eternity is released this week (16th Feb) will no doubt be playing some more of that...

    Isn't there the same story for virtually every competitive online game community? Just keep your cool and act friendly then normally people would react to you that way too.

    LoL is kinda overwhelming to new players since you've to invest a lot of time if you want to have many heroes (not to mention runes). That's what I dislike. Just buy 1 hero and nothing else, stick with them until level 30 so you'll have enough IP (money) for runes.

    It's better to play with friend. If you know someone, try to seduce them into playing this game. Solo-ing is kinda hard to win.

    LoL also has interesting fanbase if you want to look into that. Many fanmade songs, comics... I actually started playing after I listened to a fanmade song.
