What Game Are You Currently Playing?

[Favre4Ever+ 4,476]

I am an old fuddy duddy that doesn't want the VR stuff to every fully emerge on the scene. Ha. I am more than happy playing my console for the next 60 years until I die.

[Bucman 891]

I think VR is gonna fail like 3D is.

[NaTaS+ 958]

You have VR Natas? Man I want a Vive so badly, but I just can't justify the price tag.

 

 

It's was $98 and if I bought it on the 1st of this month would have been free with the device. If you have a samsung device and want to test VR, it's not a bad option.

 

I can't accept that VR will fail like 3D. There is a limit to what you can do with 3d in the home, but VR has so many areas of life it can affect. Imagine paralyzed people being able to control a bot with simple controls, imagine a few years from now when we can affect sensations on the body with VR. Remember how smart devices took off and just got better and better? Porn is going to push VR into legendary status.

[Thanatos 2,847]

Extra Credits had an interesting thing on why they don't think VR will succeed in the long run. In the short term its going to be a big craze, but its too damn expensive for anything outside of what Natas is talking about- VR connected to mobile phones, that is.

That wont happen in our lifetime.

That is almost certainly wrong. You realize how far tech will have advanced in 10 years, much less 50?

[Vin+ 3,121]

Downloaded HotS.

 

No idea why.

 

Kinda weird since they've pulled all these characters from other Blizz games and I have no idea who they are.

[Bangy 19]

CS:GO has finally been bought and from spectator mode it looks like I'll be able to play it

[Thanatos 2,847]

Why have they not made a Star Wars singleplayer RPG since the Old Republic? Like come on, this is easy money. Give us Elder Scrolls character maker with DAO backstory and an open world RPG like the Witcher 3. You'd make a billion dollars.

[Bucman 891]

Overwatch comp is painful. Too many people not staying on people point.

[Vin+ 3,121]

So just like regular Overwatch then.

 

Competitive is on every platform but PS4 now.

[Bangy 19]

Holy shit CS:GO is fun. A lot different than what I'm used to as well. I really need to learn the recoil on both the M4 and AK47.

 

Not going to touch ranked for a good while after level 3 as I want to be comfortable with my aim and shot.

So, I've realized a few things while playing Battlefront 2 (specifically Galactic Conquest).

 

- The Empire sucks. Their special units suck, and somehow the Stormtroopers suck. I started out with the Empire when I bought this late last week, and it took me 4 days to beat it (usually it takes me a few hours). I was playing it 2-3 hours a day. This is the first time I've played on Elite, and I got my ass kicked.

 

- The Rebels are strong AF. I have done astonishingly better as a Rebel Soldier than I did as a Stormtrooper. I don't know why, I just have. I would get 25-30 kills a game as a Stormtrooper, and now I'm easily getting 50.

 

- Wookies and Super Battle Droids are overpowered as shit. Super Battle Droids have a shotgun (with infinite ammo), blaster rifle, and rocket launcher all in one. Their rocket launcher isn't that strong against vehicles, but it's deadly as hell against infantry. Wookies are just hard as shit to take down. They probably take 50% more bullets to kill than any other Rebel soldier. They also have a pretty strong grenade launcher, and their crossbow has the potential to not only be very strong, but very effective from long range if they charge it up. If more than a single Wookie shows up in a certain area, I can pretty much count on dying. Maybe I just suck, though.

 

- Clones are fucking awesome. Love playing as the Republic.

Thanks bro, will try this out.

[RazorStar 4,025]

I've been playing Superhot. It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.

[OSUViking 505]

I was talking to my friend about how shitty EA's Battlefront was (I know some people like it, but I hated that game so much).

 

Imagine this for Galactic Conquest:

 

They add in seamless transition between space and ground (which they were already working on, I think). So, the invader establishes naval supremacy in a battle (or if there is no defending fleet there they already have it). Afterwards, they have to invade the planet/battle site via transports launched from space (obv defended by fighters/interceptors and whatnot). The defenders have their own air units and also certain CPs that have air-defense guns that can shoot down the invading aircraft. Also, the defenders could possibly have certain CPs that could shoot at the capital ship itself and take out that spawn point.

 

So, the defenders have to land through air defenses and air craft and take CPs from aerial assault. Taking them will give certain bonuses. If the map is in a city, and they capture an open square or something like that, they could land tanks. The defenders would lose either all or some of their tank spawn points as a result. Taking the CPs with the air defenses would make further landings easier.

 

IDK, this just seems like such a cool concept. I don't know where EA went wrong. They literally had a formula that worked so well for two games, and they threw it out the window. Instead, they replaced it with a game that I was thoroughly bored with after a day of playing it.

[Cherry 1,302]

EA fucked it simply by having no conquest mode or instant action AI mode.

[OSUViking 505]

And no campaign.

 

I still play through the Battlefront 2 campaign. Several times, in fact. I just bought this last Sunday and I've beaten it twice while procrastinating on studying for my final.

[Vin+ 3,121]

Finally finished my 10 placement matches in competitive mode in Overwatch. Lost the first five, then won four straight, then lost the last one to a 3 Torb Hanamura defense.

 

Rank is 44.

Edited July 3, 2016 by Vin

[ATL_Predator+ 1,196]

Level 59 after going 8-2 in placement matches.

[BJORN 679]

A heavy Torbjorn team is so easy to counter, I'd rage if I lost to that.

[Vin+ 3,121]

We got through the first point, but on the second they'd either alternate molten cores, have a reaper ult that went crazy, or get a massive mercy revive. Every time we'd make progress we couldn't capitalize.

 

I'll be glad when that Torb nerf hits consoles, maybe that will cause people to not have Torb stacks (probably not).

 

 

 

Competitive has been an interesting experience so far. The first few placement matches were all king of the hill maps that we got smoked on. I shouldn't have to play Reinhardt on king of the hill because people are getting rekt by the other team's Rein/Zarya tank combo. (Still mananged to get in the top 3 in elims in those games, but still) After those losses, I must've fallen pretty far in rank because things got a bit easier, for the most part. It's kinda disappointing that this isn't an indicator of whether or not you're good, so much as it is whether or not you're on a good team, since pretty much only wins and losses matter.

 

I also hate the fact that whenever someone leaves (and they pretty much will), the game either ends or you're pretty much screwed because it's now a 5v6 situation. The entire process needs to be re-worked. Maybe allow the game to be filled between rounds. Something.

 

I'm sure season 2 will have the kinks worked out, but things are kinda rough as it stands right now.

[Bangy 19]

I have been playing around with CSGO and it's so much more enjoyable than league.

 

I have played 2 placement games and won both. Got carried the first game but was positive the second. Now about to download training aim to help with that.

 

I also love the fact that during live events you can win drops for that event and it doesn't seem region/server locked.

 

If anyone fancys a game my account name is its_pressure.

[Bangy 19]

So after finally listening to steelernation and actually opening the console to change my reticle, the difference in aim is ridiculous.

 

I'm currently using something close to Flusha but have a purple color so hoping now it will transfer over to competitive.
