What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Currently half-way through BioShock 2. Pretty decent game so far. The storyline probably isn't as strong as the first one, but I think the overall gameplay mechanics are a lot more interesting this time 'round. Really impressed with the level design too!

Played the resident evil REmake on pc this morning for 30 minutes. Played it on GC 10!years ago. Unbelievable job they did there. Fantastic port. Best survival horror game in the planet. 10/10

beat all the missions in ground zeroes. unlocked all outfits. so very very good. hard to believe it looks that good on ps4 and runs at a steady framerate (99% of the time at least).

question about boi. i have it for free on ps4 from plus and thought it granted it to me free on vita as well. can't find it on my dl list anywhere though and searching for it in the store it's trying to charge me $14.99? also i find mom to be a very hard boss to beat w/o having an exceptional loadout. have legit beaten her only once and have gotten past her one other time with the level skip shovel. find that i do the best with azazel but kind of feel like it's cheating ;\

still grinding through d3 on normal (aka extra easy)

FInally went through Batman Arkham Asylum and now going through Arkham City. Not so fond of the combat mechanics but otherwise, wow yeah, these games are awesome! I loved the sequences with the Scarecrow (not the platform moments, the psychedelic ones). Really thought my laptop was dying and it reminded me of MGS somehow.

After that I don't tink I'll be able to run Origins really. Not even talking about Arkham Knight... Man I hate all of this about modern gaming. Intense planned obsolescence.

Agreed. Any game that has to reach out to a server for verification so you can play a one player offline game can suck a dick.

Playing The Long Dark, eagerly awaiting the next update. 20 days of survival under my belt. For an alpha/early access this game is wonderful.

Some guys made a live action trailer for it.

Man haven't played that for ages, will put it in my steam list and wait for a sale with glee. Controller support OK? Not using controller? My laptop has a shit keyboard.

I'm using Xbox 360 controller on win8 via bootcamp. My iMac runs it flawlessly at 720p. Got to Lisa's cabin. Again, best survival horror game you can get. I hope they sell loads so that Capcom understands there's still an audience for the lush fixed camera pre rendered backgrounds. Nothing comes close to the atmosphere this game has.

curiosity is piqued about The Long Dark.

I dunno if they significantly upped the challenge for Isaac: Rebirth or if I'm just getting shittier at games these days but my win streak is like -50 right now. Several times I've made it to mom with full health and a nice build and just died in a few seconds because the screen fills up with monsters that rush you + stomping feet + slapping hands. I got pretty good at the original flash version but so far I've only gotten to the womb once in this version. I'm not even playing on the new "hard" mode. It's kind of making me not want to play it any more... my days of finding self-inflicted frustration through gaming to be fun are long behind me.

Im finding it reasonably ok. steam says ive spent 160 hours, but loads of that is it sitting open while i do other things. i think the most important thing is to not be scared to throw a run after the first two levels if you have shite items. Ive got about 65% of the achievements done anyway, i think im gonna fire through and try and get 100%, and its the first game ive felt compelled to do that with for at least 8 years.

Eve is fun but difficult, ive beaten all the bosses with isaac, azazel, eden, lazarus, cain, and ???, but im really struggling with eve and judas. magdelene just does my nut in with how slow she is.

ive not even started the challenges yet either.

I've completed 92% of it. I'm trying to go through with The Lost right now. Super fucking frustrating.

eventually you will just get like gnawed leaf and gemini or something. not a brave way to do it, but a way.

I've made it up to Isaac, but haven't beat him yet. I try to get 9 lives, holy shield, and a fuck ton of dmg up.

9 lives is worthless against Isaac since he takes off a whole heart with each hit...

every single enemy one shots you as the lost, 9 lives just means you get 9 tries, so its extremely powerful for him, along with holy mantle.

BOI (for Vita I assume you mean) might not be available for DL for free anymore if the promotion has expired.

Well, for The Lost, yes - I see your point. I was referring to the other characters.

If you can get 9 lives early, especially with Judas, it's worth taking for a possible Guppy transform.

guppy is powerful as fuck, took me 100 hours until i got him. i still havent got lord of the flies either.

Guppy is pretty much a win. If you get 3 orbitals blocking shots, it really is a guaranteed win. I always pick up Guppy parts. And with parts like the Paw, you can pick it up, get rid of it and it still counts as 1 of 3 parts. You don't need to keep it.

The endgame for Borderlands 2 is completely broken. So disappointing. Had a great time 100+ hours getting a char up to the level cap, only to discover that at max level, everyone's using exploit glitches (one lets you easily duplicate legendary items, completely negating their rarity; another is an equip glitch that incorrectly makes every shot from an automatic weapon do 99999999999 damage). The endgame is designed to be played with a group, so it's too hard to play single player, but if I hop into any multiplayer game it's a bunch of people all using the best gear in the game 1shotting everything including raid bosses, which isn't fun at all. Shitty because I imagine those exploits & glitches are things that could be patched out but haven't been for some reason. Those exploits exist on all platform versions, but the PC version has the additional problem of people using hex editors to give themselves infinite money & more skill points than you should be able to get at level cap, and because it's co-op and not competetive, there's no anti-cheat effort on behalf of the developers or Steam.

Oh well, I did still get around 150 hours of fun for $10 so I guess that's cool. Broken endgame means I'm pretty much done with it, though.

i guess there's a chance i didn't add it to my library for vita 'cause i assumed it'd automatically do it when gripping the ps4 vers. owell

I completed it last night after dying and coming back as Judas' Shadow and it won't count the win for The Lost. Probably the same with Lazarus' Rags (since you come back as Lazarus). Just fyi.

Microsoft's Hololens looks cool as shit!

Aye but remember when they claimed the Kinect could do this -
