I hope it's fixed soon, I want my DLC :/

Well Full Patch means that it is more-less finalized and in Release Candidate stage based on data for previous Patch.

The main problem with Witcher 3 is that after the first bit there is zero incentive to actually do any of the side quests, since they 99% of the time give you nothing worthwhile, reward-wise.
"Okay, you killed all the monsters and slogged around the whole fucking countryside, here's 5xp"

yea i see where you're coming from and in a way I agree with you, but I enjoy the game so much that it doesn't bother me at all. love hunting them monsters yo

picked up The Talos Principle on Nuuvem since it's just a little over $11

Could get it much cheaper when it was on sale from either European or Chineses traders tho

I always wondered why games like Prison Architect and Armello are in early access, their games feel full enough. I guess Armello still has to add four more characters but what about PA?

Omg Dishonored. I can't believe I waited so long to buy you.

I just beat the game + all DLC non-lethal and without being detected . Now my profile's "rare achievements" showcase is just mostly Dishonored, except for my rarest one, which was for beating The Stig's real life Ferrari 458 Imola lap record in Assetto Corsa (and since "The Stig" is my steam name, it was kinda important that I beat him... Otherwise I'd just be some random faker... I don't wanna be some random faker... I'm The Stig guys...)

Some of the subplots are quite good (Skellige leader, Assassins subplot, Kiera to an extent).

Sure, once you level up you can blow through most of these. I actually cleared most of the sidequests before progressing through most of the story. I have since ignored most of the quest boards I've come accross.

My main problem is that the story doesn't take you through most of Velen. Looking through the map and I have the entire south and North of Novigrad sections that haven't been explored yet.

I guess that's on me to explore, but one of the reason I prefer the earlier game is just riding through Velen going from town to town than the Novigrad section.

I hope they fix enough for me to dip my toes into the pool!

Same.

Holy shit, need to buy this next week:

I assume Spider-Man was removed or something?

i really liked dishonored as well! I hope the new one doesn't punish you for lethal kills or at the very least has more non lethal powers because all the fun stuff was lethal. Don't like it when games "punish" you for killing.

Some of the impressions from testers in this thread are saying it's pretty much Blood Money slapped into Absolution's engine. Which is good news, as that is exactly what I wanted!

I mean if you play it for XP, then some quests are worthless.
Ideally you play them for the story and world building.

Tramping through miles and miles of forest and bog to kill samey monsters again and again gets boring after a while.
Also, the level curves are totally fucked. "Oh hey there, level 6, here's a level 23 quest!"

I'm surprised given your large PC game collection that you'd be buying multiplatform stuff on PS4 over PC. Is it a case of "shiny new toy", or your PC being in need of an upgrade, or issues with your home PC setup, or something else entirely?

It's a combination of those things, really. A lot of the multi-platform stuff I own on the PS4 is EA and Ubisoft which I typically avoid on PC due to their Origin and Uplay garbage. So things like Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age Inquisition I prefer on the PS4 even if they might not run as well as their PC counterparts. There are a few others I have on the PS4 that I already own on Steam but I purchased just due to them being cheap (like Tomb Raider, which I purchased for $5) and including all of the DLC. I'll probably play through it again at some point before the next game is released. The rest of what I own are exclusives - Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, The Order, Killzone, Knack, inFamous, etc.

That said, my PC is definitely ready for an upgrade, but I don't think I'll have the money to do that any time soon. I'm rocking an AMD FX-8120 from 2011, DDR3 1333 RAM, and a Radeon HD 7850 GPU from 2012. My 23 inch monitor is also literally 2 feet away from my 55 inch TV but my desk is at kind of a weird angle that would make PC gaming on it weird. Sometimes I hook up my old wireless 360 controller and game on the TV, but it's usually easier to just pick up the PS4 controller and everything's already ready to go. Usually I'm gaming on the PC while my wife is watching TV.

Regardless of the reasons, I love my PC and I love my PS4. I have enough games on each that I never run out of stuff to play, and to me that's the most important part.

Yeah it was seriously hard to resist the temptation to just start killing people, because the game is makes killing so damn fun, especially if you're creative. I'd definitely say that a lethal playthrough is a must purely for how good the powers and everything else work together to make for seriously awesome ways of killing. I'll probably do that before Dishonored 2 comes out though.

But yeah, most powers seemed to favor lethal playthroughs. However it didn't matter to me at all since I went for the achievement where you only use blink the whole game and don't buy or upgrade any powers at all (you can't even upgrade your Blink lol). But I am hoping Dishonored 2 adds powers that make playing non-lethally a more attractive option.

It's still in Alpha. Give it some time.

Though after playing Absolution I don't know if I am looking forward to another Hitman.

Isn't this supposed to be out by December already? Don't think that's alpha footage then. Anyway, I'm more worried about the "episodic" aspect than anything. We'll see.

Apologies if these don't work!

I don't know man. I really enjoy just trampling through the world, getting distracted by hidden treasure or a village or something and finally making my way to the way point.

 

[Copons]

Just started Ground Zeroes.
Considering I've managed to be spotted by the very first watchtower (the one when the tutorial tells you to keep a low profile and avoid spotlights), leading to a hour long gunfight, I guess I won't be disappointed by this game length.

The main problem is that with their whack-ass setup, you can be running around in the starting zone, see something interesting, walk over to it and get clobbered by a level 25 earth elemental.
This... discourages exploration.

Ill never forget getting oneshotted by a level 25 Griffin while doing a level 6 quest. it was the quest where you had to repair some damaged shrines.

Naah man, if you spot a skull-level enemy around, just retreat and go look at one of the hundreds of other markers around. You can always go back checking those you left behind when you're stronger.

Anyway, while lots of the markers are just the same old padding, I loved how they get you to explore around, guiding you to some visually great locations, but also sometimes to places that add some real depth to the world (ruins, encampments, caves, I dunno, plenty of different things, with some subtle background story going on).

The only place I think they really fucked up with the markers is Skellige, with thousands of them scattered around the sea, basically all boring smugglers chests.
