Yes, different game. Sniper V2, 3 are different than Sniper Ghost Warrior 1 and 2. :)

Finished the new Tomb Raider game from a few years back. Good game. I liked it a lot. Reminded me (simply because I played the other one first) of FarCry 3.
Next up is probably actually trying to finish older games, like Mirrors Edge and possibly KOTOR.
Just finished Legend of Grimrock 2. Fantastic game overall, very enjoyable and engrossing. Easy to see why it is so highly rated. The ending is weak and flat which is a shame, I hate when such great games are finished with piss poor endings. Even so, despite some very difficult (and the odd poorly designed and obscure) puzzles it is great fun and graphically it is gorgeous, particularly the animations, and one of the most atmospheric games around. Completely unrelated to Grimrock 1 so no need to play that first. Most of the puzzles and secrets are hugely satisfying when you beat and figure them out. Reminded me of the old Amiga Interplay classic "Stonekeep". 9/10
Previously beat game: KOTOR 2. 8/10
Next game. Grimrock 1.
So I have shelved Pillars of Eternity until they add party commands to the game. I thought I would be okay with the micro management but it is just too much clicking for me. Thats alright though, The Witcher 3 comes out soon and I will for sure play through that, and knowing CD Projekt Red, will deal with a mass of bugs also lol.
Started Alice: Madness Returns a little while back. Art direction is great but the action itself gets pretty repetitive very quickly. The level design is very color-by-numbers.
I would wait until the free Directors cut upgrade comes out.Quote:

Also, it's not a game you can beat, but I hit max level in Smite a few weeks ago. Now I'm starting to seriously consider playing in the ranked leagues but I think I should play a few dozen more casual Conquest games before I dive into that madness.
Starting playing AC Unity on PS4 with some friends - I think taking a break from the series (since Brotherhood) helped, I'm really enjoying it. The one thing I hate is that for 4-player co-op missions, if I only have 2 friends online instead of 3, the game insists on throwing a random 4th into the mix. And 90% of the time it's some dude who doesn't have a mic and just goes bombing off toward the target. Really annoying.
Unity was alright but I never really "felt" it. To me the game felt more like a tech demo than anything else and it paled in comparison to Black Flag for me.
Playing GTA V on the PC right now. I'm enjoying it though the online portion is pretty underwhelming. Way to many hackers and horrible load times.
Started up The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II the other day. I don't know if the game is just naturally like this, the character I imported was badly equipped, I just don't remember how to play, or what, but this game is hard as hell even on the normal difficulty setting. I did start on the "Veteran" game mode, so the game starts at level 30, maybe that's it.
I've put about 2 hours in and I'm definitely remembering how to play a bit, and hitting level 33 opened up a lot of good new equipment that I had found, so maybe it will get easier from here on out, but the quest a little while back to destroy the ornithopter generator was torture.
I beat the single player campaign in Splatoon over the weekend. It was okay! Nothing special, but a nice fun little romp through octopus-infested space. I thought the design of the final boss (character design, not gameplay design; though the gameplay design wasn't bad) was really awesome.
I haven't touched Witcher 3 since Splatoon came out. I love it. I think about it when I'm not playing.
Up Next: More Splatoon!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
10/10
+Graphics
+Challenging as you want to make it
+Story and side quests are well written
So, I loved this game. I loved The Witcher 2 and this game easily surpasses it. Everything about The Wild Hunt is executed superbly well and there isn't any system in the game that I feel needs tweaked. The single "issue" I have is with the crafting which is slightly clunky.
This is easily my game of the decade so far, I cannot wait for more CD Projekt Red games.
Now I am playing The Elder Scrolls Online and Massive Chalice. Massive Chalice seems like a fantasy version of X-Com and Crusader Kings but without the massive depth of CK2, ESO feels like a terrible version of Skyrim.
I just picked this up for my PS4. I am enjoying it so far, but the tiny text is killing me. I'm having to sit 5 ft away from my 55" TV to play where I can read everything. Other than that I'm about 6 hours game time into the game and only lvl 2 and am doing some side missions getting the courage up to slay the griffin.Quote:

I also disliked the rushed ending of the game and that everyone who mattered to me dropped off the face of the earth. I still have ? left in Skellig, but find 0 motivation to go discover what they are hiding.
I do plan on starting over and doing a DM 100% play through, this time choosing different options, to see how the game ends.
Started up Ziggurat recently. Pretty fun game for what it is (it's Doom mixed with a fantasy roguelike, essentially), good to pick up and play in short spurts.
Haha..well I'm 20 hours in, ALMOST level 4..still haven't done the Griffin mission and spent about 3 hours just playing the card game. I got suckered into playing Poker all the damn time in Red Dead Redemption and the card game in Final Fantasy 8? I think it was..anyway I'm a sucker for in game card games apparently.Quote:

I explored every inch of the first little area, swam around the lakes, killed everything there was to kill, gathered resources to sell and upgrade stuff. Yeah, it was ridiculous, but I'm moving along now. I just finished up finding Hendrick, and got side tracked doing some secondary quest that turned out to be ranked a lot higher than me. Now the map is wide open and I'm having a blast with the game.Quote:
