Factorio seems to be well worth the $20. Glad I got it. Be interesting to see how good the replay value is. Right now I'm really just learning how to make/do things well...

If anyone wants to team up I'm Flatline42

Sadly I don't play as much as I'd like. I just hit 15 or so in the main game.

13 was actually kind of a pain in the ass, and the pacing in the single player game could be better. There's like a 5 level gap between one main story mission and the next, and that's a long ass side mission & encounter grind.

As far as PVP, from what I understand the main problem is that the risk vs reward is imbalanced for going rogue. And that's nothing that can't get tweaked.

I'm enjoying it. Moment to moment combat is fun and I have already put 10 hours in and am like 40% done with the main story. Even as a casual player I'm enjoying myself. Assuming they keep pushing out quality expansions this could end up being played for a long time.

Division is so 'meh'. The highly vaunted PvP system is utterly broken.

Have you played The Division? How exactly is the pvp system broken? It's a risk vs reward system.

Really digging The Division, especially playing some of the lower missions again on hard with a full team.

Yea, some people are talking out of their asses. They haven't played but are making assumptions.

Elf, have you been doing the daily missions? on the really hard level? So hard, you have to have pretty good gear to do those or good luck getting by them. I've completed 2 already to get the Dark Phoenix credits. Getting my first epic blueprint tonight to make the vector weapon.

Blueprints from side missions. Also there are some DZ 10 crates.

Couldn't agree more. My only problem with the PvP system at the moment is that very early on you need max DZ Rank to use any purchased gear at all, which makes the DZ vendors all but useless for a very large percentage of players.

Why are people still buying GTA 5? I mean, it's a great game and all, but you can't play online at all without being annoyed to shit from all the fucking hackers EVERYWHERE. It's so bad. I wish they would just do the lowrider update for single player.

that's the truth. i've never in my life played a game in the fucking state gta5 is routinely in. it's usually clean for a few weeks after updates before it goes back down the toilet. my crew and i just finished a heist and dropped back into my apartment and were all killed by exploding toilets that were spawned on our heads.

finding good people to play with invite-only is really the best way. it's hard to build up a friends list, though. the community is the worst i've ever seen on pc. xbox-live caliber.

it's such a waste. the content they've added is really cool, and rockstar have stated they're "all in" on online content with no plans to expand singleplayer at this time.

thinking of getting on the division but i've heard it's feeling rather bare on content. the mixed reception has kept my friends away and it doesn't seem like a good solo experience.

I have been having a blast playing The Culling. It is one of the most intense games I've played in a very long time. Not for the feint of heart though, you have to be really good to survive a 16 player FFA. If you're below average or average in skill, might not be a good buy for you, but still fun to watch on www.twitch.tv

I hate tbe fact I lost the link to an article. It used some beautiful sources of intel to prove that gamers are the strongest and most natural survivors of all humans -- mentally, not physically.

The fact that you 'lost the link' makes me think you may not be amongst the 'strongest and most natural survivors of all humans'.

Please, hand in your gamer card

It's on the top of my list - i'm really loving these types of games at the moment. But i just can't pull myself away from BR/KOTK mode in H1Z1! Still gotta try the free BR mode in ARK too!

It seems like a good game mode, whatever it's called, the shrinking Free-For-All. Battle Royale? I've rarely found teamwork satisfying on public servers so a good FFA game could hit the spot.

This list is the alpha and the omega of suckage.

I have to agree, the hacking in multiplayer is ridiculous.

Pretty much what I expected. Looks designed to sell addons.
