What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Enjoying playing back through FFXIII as I knew I would but...what on Earth is that girl doing?

Just got The Lost. Is there some big reward for going through the whole game without being hit at all?

i cant even get past isaac or satan on hard mode without playing as azazel. ive battered 120 hours into it now aswell. i only put 100 hours into skyrim.

I can barely make it past 'it lives' with eve, she is a terrible character.

My favourite is Sampson, the damage bonus from getting hurt stacks really nicely with certain damage pickups, I've ended up with tears way bigger than his head by the end of some floors.

I'm actually in the middle of composing my own soundtrack for this game, I really don't like the music. I'l post it in here when I'm done.

Look forward to hearing your soundtrack messiaen. The soundtrack in my game often glitches out for some reason, so I always listen to Bandcamp or whatever while playing. It's a good game for listening to new stuff to.

So my soft-spot for tactical strategy games and WW2 theme just found a perfect match:

Company of Heroes 2.

Just finished it and although the game is really good graphic and gameplay-wise, I found the single player campaign a little disturbing on occasions. I know the Soviets faced a nearly-impossible struggle at the time of the German invasion, but this one is a little over the top regarding the Polish resistance members, No-retreat orders and general cannon-fodder ways of dealing with the Germans. If it were a game made around, say, the British in North Africa vs. Germans, the narrative would be completely different. Out of political reasons, of course.

Well, the achievements for going through the game and not getting hit... there are 3-4 if I remember correctly.

The Lost is really a character for hardcore players.

Binding of Isaac really is the most fun game I've probably played since the 90's - the developers really captured what made games back then really fun, and the visuals appeal to me now (I was down on them before, but now I see what they were going for).

Finally got around to playing (and finishing) Costume Quest, along with the expansion campaign. Pretty neat little game, but I suppose I wouldn't expect anything less from Tim Schafer. I just wish there was more stuff to do upon completion.

There's Costume Quest 2 that just came out recently. We really enjoyed Costume Quest when it came out. Fun little game.

Slow Roller is so crazy fun.

Got it on my Steam wishlist right now. Just waiting for the perfect opportunity to snatch it up. (a.k.a. Steam sale)

How would you say it compares to the first? I'm hoping for more mini-games/side quests.

I haven't played it yet - BOI has been eating up my time - I'd say read reviews, and see if it stacks up to what you liked about CC1.

New game from Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword, Enslaved, DMC) on PS4 and PC - Hellblade:

Their characters and visuals are getting damn near photorealistic! The eye flickering/twitching really did it for me.

Well, as with every character, you get items for defeating bosses; not very good items imo, but not bad either. You also get a very good item for defeating the 6 main bosses on Hard (thus making The Lost the only character worth going past the Womb in hard mode)

New HD remaster of the original Biohazard/Resident Evil coming soon

Honestly I don't know if this is gonna be promising or if it's gonna be a crock. Looks like maneuvering the player is gonna be like driving a golf cart again, but maybe it's in order to stay true to the original. Same applies to the goofy dialogue.

I'll wait til the user reviews come in for this one.

Unless they've patched it since then, I read where the items you can get with The Lost don't unlock properly - I'm still busy getting all the other characters fully finished off (normal/hard), so hopefully this will be patched by the time I'm ready to start doing Lost runs.

It's another HD remake of the GC version which was a remake of the PS1 version... I swear, Resident Evil is like the Final Fantasy of Capcom.

They ruined those games when they changed them from horror adventure/puzzle to action games. I'm not big on nostalgia but the formula for the early games was much better. If they combined that with the, in my opinion, improved mechanics that began with RE4 then they would have a quality game again.

while definitely not as impactful as playing re2 for the first time, i thoroughly playing through re5 in coop. still haven't touched re6 though. played the hd rerelease of re4 for ps3 last year. still a great game

I'd be all over a Resi 2 or 3 remake. Make it happen, Capcom!

Finished metal gear rising on normal. Last boss was harder than the full dark souls 2. Jesus Christ. Nanomachines, son.

Playing South Park: Stick of Truth that I grabbed in the Steam sale. Funny damn game. Dreading the 27th. Pre-ordered Dying Light and GTA V for PC. May take a week off work. lol

Really enjoying walking round the spaceship in Alien Isolation and checking out what they've done with that place, nice authentic interior design, retro compters and tape players, that woodpecker, original Goldsmith music, (sadly game keeps crashing back to the desktop after level 1, really annoying, a few bugs to fix in the dir folder. Liked what i've seen so far though)

Picked up Bioshock 1-3 in the Steam sale a couple weeks back, so I'm currently ploughing through the first one.

Played it ages ago when it first came out on the PS3 but never got around to the other two, so I'm just recapping before I move on. It's still as good as I remember.

giving Starfox Adventures a second shot, fresh start from scratch.

few hours in and I feel quite confident this time round in writing this off as second rate garbage.
