I bought the Division on Friday, have played it for probably about 5-6 hours. It's rad so far. Anybody else pick it up?

Yup. Clocked in far too many hours on it so far. Pretty awesome, but repetitive.

I'm not watching any Dark Souls 3 videos. I like playing these games with as little info as possible at first...

Yaaay MGO3 patch.

Hopefully I can justify the amount of time that i've stupidly spent on it for no good reason

EDIT:
Playstation VR is looking great. I'm a lot more likely to go with that than the Oculus or Vive

My PC is up to spec, but I don't think my USB ports are fast enough for the Oculus. I prefer what I've seen of the Vive though, I think I'll pick one up at the end of the year after things have settled down a bit

I can see myself playing The Division if only for Garrus Vakarian's VA yapping away while I shoot from cover in 3rd person. :idk:


EDIT:
Picked up a hard copy of Gravity Rush, it plays a lot better on PS4. :idk:

Stardew Valley has taken me, and it, of all games, made me buy a new mouse. (Mionix NAOS 8200)
My old mouse would just sometimes register a right click twice, which, when talking to vendors, would cause me to buy whatever item my cursor was over. And there's no undo in Stardew. :facepalm:

Can you describe the game? I've never heard of it. I read the description on Steam, but it doesn't seem like something I'd like.......yet the reviews are crazy good.

As for new games I'm enjoying.......Grim Dawn mostly. a Diablo II style game. Compared to DIII isn't a lot less glossy, and has more extensive skill trees.

Side Note: Seems like a thing up Ilovefuzz's alley.........Mechanical Keyboards, anyone? :poke: :love:

I have a Leopold that came with the PC my brother in law gave us, it is fucking rad.
I was gonna get a new one but there's no point really.

Also, Grim Dawn sounds pretty rad, gonna suss it.

Installed my new RAM last night and even though it shouldn't have been noticeable, it seemed to make gameplay in F4 much smoother.
Certainly cut load times the fuck down, which was good because on 8GB that screen seems to sit there forever.
Seriously, Bethesda, hi res rotating images of mundane shit in the game is not that entertaining.
A little flip book animation of Vaultboy would have been way more rad.

And, relief, I think I solved my hard drive detection issues.
Having the right SATA order is handy.

Played the Demo. But, I really love it and am thankful that it came out on console because it's the kind of game that I need right now.

Nice!
I ended up with two. MK Disco RGB TKL and Poker II LED.

At first I was overwhelmed with Grim Dawn. I was treating it like D3. Just maxing out first tier skills rather than trying to find synergy within the entire skill tree.
It also great because there are 7 different class, and you can choose to go straight up one class or do a hybrid class build (choose 2 classes to work with).
The gameplay is tight. The story is mostly text based and fairly generic. The things that really get me are exploring a map and the massive amount of loot.

I've been debating trying FO4......

Glad you got your PC running better.

It's a day-to-day farming game, but it has a leveling up system and quests and relationship stuff with the townsfolk.
It has been billed as very Harvet Moon-esque, but I never played those games so :idk:

What makes it addicting? That's what I'm seeing the reviews. People are saying it's so good they don't want to stop playing.
