Hacking Games

[Ed P]

If you like games that provide mental challenges and are not just non-stop bullet blasting then Gamasutra has a list of seven hacking games in which the man versus system challenges are emphasised. Watch Dogs 2 is its top pick.

I have just started playing prey 2017.

Its a cross between: Deus ex, Alien isolation and bio shock. Considering its a cryengine game it looks kinda crummy, more like ID tech 5. still its all real art work so musunt grumble. A well designed game and so its a struggle. 3D thinking is the way forward. Like: freeze enemy, throw gas canister, shoot gas canister and you have only used 1 bullet.

Just finished farCry Primal, Just got to say, one of the best games I have ever played, this cave man game really gets its claws into you.

I have watch dogs one which is on my list to play, But some how I keep forgetting to play it and it must be patched up and optimized nice by now. 🙂

I wouldn’t bother with watch dogs one. It came with the mk1 ps4 we got. It’s poor at best.

Well there was a time when I was anti download for games, must have a physical copy.

Last night on the origin sale I got me the whole of the crysis series for under 7£.

Money for old rope? well sort of but they run properly and do not crash.

So I guess if W10 is the last incarnation of windows then theoretically software should be compatible forever.

I’ve always loved steam as it took the hassle out of PC gaming. Before steam, it seemed to play a PC game you’d have to spend an hour fighting with windows and game updates before you could start. Being a busy father this meant jumping on for q quick hour, was a fruitless affair. So pre-steam consoles where far more attractive.

With steam, going etc not only is it a better experience game are cheap if you wait. I probably buy 2 to 4 games a month. That just sits in the ‘to do’ list. Saving for retirement

Find the right balance Steve – ie don’t wait too long. Fingers that could manipulate and thump a keyboard, game controller or micro-switch pre-retirement, slow right down post-retirement.

It’s not I don’t have downtime, I probably have too much os you ask a certain person. I gist have other past times as well. Also spending my days on an PC working, my back aches enough, so sitting in my office chair for another 4 hours isn’t that attractive.

One day I’ll get back into proper gaming. I just pop in and out of it atm. Usually, transport fever or Minecraft with my 16 and 9-year-old.

Minecraft is the game that just keeps giving. A true 21C technic lego. If you can think it, you can build it. I don’t think there is another game ever, that can ne as simple a 3-year-old can play it, or as complex you like. Two great examples, I’ve seen someone great a working PC monitor and another build a wiring of with working ram and memory. Far far far outstrips my MC skills. You know only a 30 plus PhD computing genius could create. It never ceases to amaze me.
