What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Path of exile on hardcore league. Pretty easy so far, on level 14 and have used my healing potion about 10 times overall. Im a witch and I'm leveling up fire skills. Its fun but these games are super repetitive. To do it properly you have to stick with the same fighting stratedy and that is tedious.

back into Tribes: Ascend. HiRez have discontinued support/development on this but there are still tons of people playing.

 

I'm a pretty decent Jugg. I've also been working on my Pathfinder skills (no more llama grabs!) and generally on projectile-weapons accuracy as well. I've sort of gotten the hang of leading and landing hits a bit more accurately but it's still hard as fuck. I can only really do it at relatively low speeds with the Doombringer's chaingun and its huge clip size that I can just hammer constantly without having to reload. trying to do it with a Soldier's rifle (28 rounds in a clip) is much harder.

 

they should've made XP just a bit easier to earn in this game. it takes forever to gather enough to unlock shit. 44100 XP to unlock the Jugg's epic MIRV launcher took me forever to grind, considering you get about 1000 XP per decent match.

Anybody know some cool gamecube games?

^ paper mario & the thousand year door!

^^ Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Killer 7, Metroid Prime 1 + 2 (though they are better if you can get the Wii versions), MGS: Twin Snakes (only downfall to this version is gray fox's voice acting)

 

still playing Descent. plays SO GOOD with an xbox controller. still absolutely brutally hard, too.

And the change in music. The music for the original MGS on PS1 was much better.

Who here has been mugged in DayZ?

I loved Viewtiful Joe.

Just got a sweet reproduction copy of "Mega Man: The Wily Wars" for Sega Genesis. That was the one game I was pining for the most, and then Sega made it some exclusive to their weird early download service back in '94 (I think it was called the "sega channel"). I know it was released in the UK, but all the Mega Drive copies I've seen sell for over $200 bucks. Whoever made this version actually went the extra distance with the packaging, sticker, and even instruction manual. The game itself is not perfect (it's basically a "Super Mario All-Stars" type 16-bit upgrade of the first three games), but it's just what I've always wanted. Perfect way to round out my library of old games.

lower your sensitivity, you should only be able to turn 180-270 degrees from one side of a mousepad to another, also what's your ping?

Finished the first part of Broken Age. I thought Vella's story was a lot more satisfying than Shay's. Felt a lot more like a classic lucasarts adventure game. The puzzles were still easy, but it felt like there was more to do and discover. And all the characters were brilliant.

 

The ending was pretty great and leaves me impatient for the second episode.

^^^ haven't finished my playthrough of Broken Age yet, gonna boot it up right now. I agree though, so far the puzzles are super easy.. but its makes up for it with character and charm. I hope Tim Schaefer continues making adventure games for a long time

 

 

also..

I'll try the mouse sensitivity trick

Iwata is steering a sinking ship @ Nintendo, the 3DS is keeping it afloat...for now. I like how after the worst earnings report they've had in a decade, he was basically like "good luck trying to vote me out of my job". Obviously the Yamauchi heirs don't have the balls their father did to stand up to this shit.

As far as I've heard, people in big companies in Japan don't really get fired. Instead they get moved around and then someone else takes over their position. I don't know if it's true or not, though.

But Nintendo will do alright, because the 3DS is busting balls - 42.4 mio 3DSs sold!

I think I read an interview with Miyamoto some time ago in which he explained that even if Nintendo does poorly for a few years, they'll be fine. He was explaining that the company is sitting on a lot of reserve money or something like that.

Yes but they did downgrade their sales forecast for 3DS as well so it's not invincible.

 

downloaded Attack of the Friday Monsters last night, very quirky and very Japanese game, part of the Guild02 3DS game pack. I'm surprised it got localized but just the sort of thing I love from Nintendo, and quirkiness is one of its strengths it needs to focus on IMO if they want to survive.

Resident Evil 4 and the Metroid Primes

 

Watched a speed run of Metroid Prime last week and a guy beat it in 1 hour. Good luck with that.

Metroid Prime is the most overrated piece of crap ever. Just play some Mario Kart, Windwaker, and Resident Evil 4
