What are you playing right now?
« on: May 27, 2014, 08:14:11 am »
Besides my current daily routine of dicking around in BF3 and Dark Souls I'm about to start playing Armored Core 4. The last game I completed was Homefront about a week ago, which I picked up for £1.99 and is mindnumbingly shit.

My backlog is pretty disgusting right now, somewhere in the region of 25 PS3 games and 10 Wii games that I've never played and probably about 10 games across both platforms that I've started but not finished. But there's such a volume of content for the current last gen consoles that is still being added to, it's hard for me not to grab a bargain when I see one.

Most of those Wii games you could probably skip and not miss anything. :P

There's a large percentage of crap in the Wii library but there's some very good third party titles in there too; Xenoblade Chronicles, A Shadow's Tale, Red Steel 2, Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter Tri, the Trauma Center games... then there's hidden gems like Deadly Creatures, Dead Space Extraction, Sengoku Basara, stuff that gets overlooked for being too cute like Dewy's adventure, Munchables, Opoona which actually have really fun and challenging game play. Then you've got the 1st party  Nintendo games which are almost universally acclaimed and the remakes of RE4, Okami, Rygar and a few others that were console exclusives and brilliant games in the first place.

There's also a lot of sports games, fitness games, karaoke games, film tie-ins and other shovelware, but IMO if you're a gamer, it's unwise to dismiss it as a platform when it has so much good exclusive content.

Eh, the only game I was interested in for it personally was Super Smash Bros. Brawl. And even then, only with Project M installed.

Oh yeah, and Super Mario Galaxy. But that's just me.

Anyway, @OP: Serious Sam 3 and Guild Wars 2. I'm also playing some 360 games but ever since I got my new laptop, I've paid them no attention at all. Sanctuary's taking up a massive chunk of my time too which I would normally devote to gaming.

Never finished Dark Souls, I was recently playing Diablo 3 until they made the game way to easy buy adding an extra 100% to loot chances. Legendaries are like rare items almost now, super common. I can play for an hour and get anywhere from 5 to 12 legendaries. You ever loot 4 Stone of Jordan's in a 3 day's time span? I did. Fucking terrible. No challenge anymore I'm so mad.

Quake live has been fun I learned how to air strafe lately, its helping me take my game up from there.

I did buy dead space 1 and 2 for my 360 but i didn't even finish the first one and didn't even open the second. My 360 has been collecting dust in a bag for like 3 months I'm just fucking bored with it. I'd rather have a nice pc rig but i don't have the capital to throw away on one.

Recently played this game called Cave Story+ available on Steam, 10 bucks well spent, its a really cool Metroid meets Castlevania meets Megaman SNES style game. I recommend it.
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore —
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Just started playing Watch_Dogs before that some Dark Souls 2, Wolfenstien The New Order, Injustice, Smite, and Titan Fall.

I've messed around with a few others like tropico 5 but there has been kind of a lack of really great games lately.

Castlevania, Lords of Shadow 2

and

Wargame: Red Dragon

Wargame is a pretty awesome rts and quite challenging. Can't win by just swarming your enemies, since a well dug in force of even a few infantry can take out a shitload of armor and troops. That being said this if fucking 'murica and I usually just bomb them into dust.

My solo play at the moment is sims 3 and borderland's 1 is my co-op with the misses, I'm just a big sims fan loved when i was a kid' So had to get it when i seen it for a diver and i got borderland's age's ago, But my bird just got into playing xbox and with it having a heavy co-op theam i picked it, Not the best choice for a first timer.

The game its self is good the hole thing was just a plate forum for the gun generator, million an millions off unique guns along with psycho midget's, Dancing robot's make it sick like a dog, But the story was shit the game is big but it load area at a time the 2ed one it alot better.

Sims is top i still love killing sims in house fire's.
Fucking with me is like masterbation, Feels good while your doing it, But when ya done, You realise you fucked your self.

A goal: To leave this place a little less fucked up then when i entered.

Stay in drugs,
Don't do school?

This is a massive violation of rule 1
It's fine.

I looked at a bit of gameplay footage for Armored Core 4 and decided to put it aside in favour of something a little more relaxed since the last two games I completed were DS2 and MGR:R (I also played and finished Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day, but that's not comparable). I ended up giving Sleeping Dogs a go since it's been sat on my shelf for almost a year and I was hugely surprised. I was expecting it to be another GTA clone but it's actually a satisfying old school brawler similar to Yakuza first, with open world GTA elements and a classic Triad revenge story.

It's a shame the genre is all but dead here in the western market as playing Sleeping Dogs was a nice change of pace from firing guns and magic spells at everything that moves like most AAA non-sports games seem to be nowadays. I'm definitely going to go and pick up the Yakuza games when I get the chance.

Currently playing Ocarina of Time on the N64 (not wii emulator shit) and a bit of Dark Souls 2 every now and again.

I recently got the other ending trophy I needed for DS1 and decided I'm finished with that game for the time being.

I remember playing that. Worked so fucking hard to get the damn Horse to grow the fuck up, just to be too afraid to play any further than nightfall. Damn fucking Zombies. (I kid, kinda)
I beat Resident Evil 4 six times on Came cube. Go mee.

Been enjoying the new Sniper Elite game I've always had a special place for cheekily blowing Nazi bits off with some damn fine classic weapons.

some test gifs I made

I could never get in to SR games.

I'm mainly just playing KF or RO2.
You don't have to be a student of Sun Tzu to realize that going face-down ass-up for a bunch of paedo's is a bad move for a number of reasons. I hope the final dimming embers of Totse aren't finally extinguished by a few kiddie-fiddlers. Even death by furries would be better than that.
