    Your 10 GOTY?

    I haven't played a ton of games from 2016, but let's see... 1. Dark Souls 3 2. Nioh alpha/beta. Yes this isn't a full, released game. Even so, I spent more time with it than most games and I would have gladly paid full price for it. It's that good. 3. Salt and Sanctuary 4. Hyper Light...

    Next 5 Games You will buy new

    If I were to guess... 1. NHL 17 unless it sucks (September 13) 2. Mafia 3 maybe. I liked the first one but didn't play 2 (October 7) 3. The Last Guardian if it isn't crap. But after all this time, it's probably crap (October 25) 4. Dishonored 2. This one is pretty much a certainty...

    Top 5 Most Played Games in Your Steam Library?

    Poll: How Long Do You Play Videogames In One Session?

    I can lose myself in a Dark Souls game for about 4 hours on occasion. Total War games I can get to maybe 3. Most other games I tend to need at least a short break after at most 2 hours. Back in the day I'm sure I did much better with Morrowind.

    Who's playing Salt and Sanctuary? (2D Souls-like)

    So now that it's out on Steam [http://store.steampowered.com/app/283640/] in addition to the PS4 store, more people (such as myself) should be playing this game. I'd been eagerly awaiting the Steam release and finally started playing today. What are everyone's thoughts so far? What builds are...

    Latest game to hijack your interest?

    Ever since I played the Nioh (AKA Samurai Souls) alpha demo, nothing else has interested me. That game came out of nowhere and gave me another great Souls-like hit after I'd finished Dark Souls 3 several times. It seemed horrible at first but once I figured out what I was doing I was hooked...

    The best of 2016 so far.

    All I've played that was released 2016 so far is Dark Souls 3 and The Nioh alpha demo. Lucky for me, I've thoroughly enjoyed both of them. If the full version of Nioh comes out this year, I'll be happy with the year. Others I'm looking forward to playing: - Salt and Sanctuary (I'll wait for...

    Nioh Alpha Demo Available

    Thanks so much for the tips people. I don't know what the hell I was doing last night on Nue. Tonight, first attempt I took him down near half health. I think three tries later, he was toast. Once I figured out his patterns (including how many attacks I can get in before running away) and...

    Nioh Alpha Demo Available

    Well, I really liked the first boss (Onryoki). Took a few tries but he was fair -- if you're good, you can avoid taking any damage whatsoever. The second boss (Nue) however, is complete bullshit. He can kill me in 1-3 hits depending on the attack. My best run in about 10 attempts against him...

    Nioh Alpha Demo Available

    I've played for about 30 mins and it's... interesting. I love the Soulsborne games and that's why I decided to try this. I spent the first 10 mins "summoning" those dead guys at the red sword spots and getting my ass kicked. I did beat one of them though and that allowed me to declare victory...

    Your personal top 3 games you have ever played.

    I can't do three... but maybe I can do four. In order of release: - Deus Ex (2000) - Silent Hill 2 (2001) - Morrowind (2002) - Dark Souls (2011) Each of these games completely changed what I thought was possible in the world of video games. It's hard to rank within them as they're...

    What are You Playing Now / Last Game You Beat

    I just finished Metro 2033 Redux for the first time (though I've played through the original Metro 2033 3 times or so). Last Light will follow soon, though I'll probably play through something else in between. I'm a big fan of the STALKER and Metro games... much moreso than any other shooters...

    What are You Playing Now / Last Game You Beat

    I'm about 10-11 hours into a campaign with the Saxons in Total War: Attila. The game has a bunch of negative reviews on Steam, mostly regarding Sega's terrible DLC practices (and I won't buy any of the DLC), but the Total War gameplay itself is still plenty good. I've played Rome, Medieval 2...

    Quantum break confirmed for PC, coming out same time as xbox version

    I'm not sure I want to buy from the Windows store... but it's nice to at least have the option of playing this on PC. Wasn't expecting this news. Of course, if nobody buys it on the Windows Store they might just release it on Steam or something anyway eventually, since they'll already have a...

    Is anybody else here just not interested in modern gaming?

    There are so many new games coming out these days that it's hard to just say "I'm not interested in modern gaming". I'm not interested in the vast majority of what's coming out, and I avoid business practices I don't approve of, but there's still enough to keep me happy. In the last 12 months...
