I thought the Bushman requirement was survive 10 stages in the arena. So I struggled away and managed them, only to see the level progression metre not move up very much at all. I then checked the weapon screen and saw you need to achieve level 10, and immediately lost all interest in ever owning the Bushman. It's a pity, because I loved that weapon in FC3.

So I'm a couple hours into pillars of eternity and totally loving it.

Better than dragon age. To me. More focus on actual story, and less focus on useless crap.

I'm hopelessly addicted to Clash of Clans :( I can't stop thinking about this damn game. I'm close to maxing out my TH4 base now.

Yes, true that.

The overall quality of weaponry in FC4 is good imo, but the combination of mobility and fire rate seem to dip a bit at an advanced stage on two handed rifles.

Pity about that.

I found that after a certain point I started limiting myself to only the crossbow and recurve bow to provide more of a challenge.

The SA-50 rifle is god mode.

I need an alternative to command and conquer. Any good alternatives out there? I prefer a few generations back - from Tiberian Sun to Generals / RA2 are my favs.

Easier than c&c, have you tried World in Conflict?

Now that looks awesome! I like the idea of real world equipment and missions too. I see its a huge franchise and has an mmorpg version too. Ta for that tip!
*EDIT* Confusing company of heroes with world in conflict so I have more to look at now. Company of heroes got a pretty high rating:

...and it looks like a huge franchise.

Far cry 4. Donner. 40 hours in and only 40%. Could be my longest game ever.

Not as long as Skyrim :erm:

Lots of FAF in Far Cry 4! Just do yourself a favour...

At the end when you get to choose to either shoot or dine with Pagan Min don't just shoot him without a moment's hesitation like me and have dinner with him. Apparently he'll take you on a helicopter ride and you get to shoot him later

Really been enjoying Ori, highly recommended. It's a thoughtful take on the Metroid genre with amazing graphics.

Just make sure you have a grenade or rocket launcher, or there won't be much you can do.

Ubersampling on and off its still playable on my rig.
I5 4590
8gb ram
R9 280x
Everything maxed/enabled except texture size is on medium. Some of the best graphics even though its a few years old already..

Just been playing it a bit and with ubersampling on (rest of the settings maxed) I get fps ratings in the mid to upper 30s which is playable but not great, uber off fps jumps to 80-100+ so I just enable vsync so it sticks at 60.

Interesting game, I can see myself playing it some more, bit of a learning curve initially.
