    Why? B&W will be out soon in April May June When it's done™.
    Oh, I see your point.

    Yeah, it was fun to parkour. Too bad the story and the main villain were so dull...

    The Talos Principle. Fantastic game. Not easy, which is good.

    Haha yeah. I love playing that game but I agree it's a fool's errand as I get sidetracked going on a question mark discovering binge for three hours. Most recently I've started running into mobs much higher level than I at the undiscovered locations (skulls). Sometimes I can work my way through them anyway, but these are just out of my level league right now. They make short work of me. So I guess I need to attack some of the lower level secondary and contracts first to grind up a little.

    So now I've decided to finish the half finished Force Awakens Sith Edition that's been installed for a while.

    I've got that installed and half finished as well. :) .. Maybe I'll work on that next.

    Wait till you get to a certain high level monster in Skellige...
    And don't bother to grind by killing monsters. TW3 isn't exactly grind friendly. Most of the XP you get by doing quests, and only from green or red labeled. It certainly has an interesting XP system...

    There are certain combinations of Alchemy and Mutagens that are so OP that they break the game by letting you take on anything at any level. I know one should not use these but man it is tempting when you see an enemy with red skulls with ?? level.

    Well, I just finished Tomb Raider.

    I'm thinking this girl has some stamina and bones made of rubber because she can take dozens of falls, tons of running an jumping and shooting bow (which requires strength too)... But great game both the 2013 and 2015 ones... Looking forward to whatever they bring next.

    You sure finished early...
    Did you continue from your last progression or did a new walkthrough?
    And I agree, the amount of damage Lara can take is ridiculous. So much for "realism", I guess :rolleyes:
    Still fun games nonetheless...

    Not playing anything this weekend, because I'm and my parents' place.
    Gotta tell you, I'm having some massive Cities: Skylines withdraws. Spent most of the time watching C:S vids on Youtube and planning some changes for my city...

    Yeah, I did something that I hadn't done in a while (like 10 years). Ignored all my responsibilities for a day and played.

    Now to wait for DLC for both to go on sale for pennies. Except it seems there's really only one tru DLC level for both. "Tomb of the Lost Adventurer" for TR and "Baba Yaga" for RotTR

    Don't hold your breath - Lost Adventurer is just a tomb and Baba Yaga is a 1-3h add-on.

    EDIT: sure didn't take you long enough to buy it :D.

    From tonight I will be playing "War for the Overworld" aka Dungeon Keeper 3.

    I have waited a year post release for the game to be patched into a decent shape(something like 600+ updates lol) and now the time has come to buy the game.

    17 years in the waiting...it is going to be epic!!

    ....hopefully!!

    I just finished Baba Gaga, it was actually really well done, just too damn short. But with latest patch they did add a benchmark... Finally. And it's decent, it covers the various landscapes like snow, jungle, woods, etc.

    decided to 100% achievements Skyrim and The Witcher 3. So let's roll.

    Skyrim's hardest part is probably Werewolf and Vampire mastered since I dislike both. They look like some sort of monstrosity, ugly and awkward, can't compare to beautiful, elegant Succubus race.

    The Witcher 3 is 10 times harder. I can't even aim with crossbow :eek:.

    Do you by any chance have a neckbeard? :D
    Just use mods, man. There are plenty for werewolves and vampires out there on Nexus.

    Could say about devs the same. It seems like they used Bulgarian emphasis, YAga instead of yaGA. I guess that's what you get when you hire Google Translate to do Russian in the game. I laughed so much at some of the mistakes I found.

    Great game! I myself spent a lot of hours in co-op. Might still come back, because Siege is dying fast...

    I enjoy these kinds of games, but I got bored with it pretty quick though. It just seemed to lack anything in depth. If they added an engaging campaign, more consistent and better trading system, and more variety to make systems more unique I might be more interested. But it's like they created this brilliant game mechanic and game visuals, but then just said "meh" to everything else. It reminded me a lot of the original Elite though, and I have very fond memories and dozens of hours wasted in that game.

    I don't even have beard lol (like real manly beard). That aside, I already have 90% on Skyrim and 80% on The Witcher 3. I will do a 3rd playthrough for TW 3 anyway for that Gotta collect 'em all.

    I did use some vampire and werewolf mods before but they generally just improve the texture. The model is the problem. Damn, that's ugly. Gonna do it real quick so the pain won't last for long.

    It's OK, we'll get you a new puppy game. FO4 didn't feel very well for a long time, it had to be put down...

    Installed GTA IV today. Despite all of its problems, I still think it's better than GTA V in many ways.

    And the other games as well.
