What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

I wholeheartedly recommend Max Payne 3. That game got a lot of backlash before it had even come out because of the change of setting, and Max with a skinhead.

This is the definitive Max Payne game for me. Also, it's one of the few times that Rockstar has done a PC game that isn't a buggy piece of shit.

Codename STEAM is great for strategy freaks, a 3rd person Fire Emblem kinda. Just the thing to take with me on my upcoming trek. What beats being Abe Lincoln's kill monkey? Good steampunk vibe as well, duhhhh

Tip: hold down Select when enemy attack turn, or it will drive you insane.

Speaking of triple AAA titles, I pre-ordered VA-11 HALL-A, a cyberpunk visual novel about serving drinks to robots and corgis.

So...yeah.

edit: the soundtrack is great btw

Max Payne is fucking great! It's very different style-wise from the rest of the games in series, but it's a much needed breath of fresh air.

It's one of the few games from last gen I've completed 2 (maybe 3) times.

Max Payne 3 was fucking great! People complained about Brazil being bright and not having the dark edge of the noir-like view on NY had in the first two, but on the contrary, I think the realism 3 presented and the situation's contrast to the bright colors really highlighted just how dark the story really was. Plus, it wasn't all sunshine and bright colors anyways, despite being in Brazil. The NY flashback chapter was well done also and a nice homage to the first two games.

You're absolutely right

Max Payne 3 had some sinister stuff going on in the storyline, it was quite well executed.

Also the gameplay was quite fun.

Maybe the most underrated game of the last console generation I would say.

And the soundtrack <3

Anyone gonna take a crack at Sid Meier's Starships?

fuck me.

I know we had some short The Order bashing in this thread, so here's some more from RLM. Here, the big focus is on the story:

That ending

Also, it's the only game that RedLetterMedia gave the destruction treatment:

(they also uploaded the live stream if you want to hear their moans and quips while playing)

About time to run through Silent Hill 2 & 3 again.

just beat Spelunky ...

don't quite know what to do with myself now

I've finished Hotline Miami 2. Really good and outstanding ending but I've got the feeling I've spent most of the game hiding and luring foes out. Plus the limited ammo thing in the Hawaii sequences felt wrong.

trying to grind out the last few achievements in rogue legacy. fuckin' remix bosses are haaaaaaard (namely kidhr and alexander). not looking forward to trying to beat the game w/less than 15 deaths either ;\

Started a seasonal hardcore character on diablo 3. Quite a bit more cautious this time around, makes for a fun playthrough. My buddy just lost his lvl 63 demon hunter to malthael, he's been whining about it for a few days now, lol

honestly fuck diablo hardcore. i could never even get through diablo 2 on hell playing normally. no idea how people manage that.

Silent Hill 2 was amazing. I never got around to playing the others, for some reason.

Quite excited for the full PT/Silent Hills/whatever name they've decided on. It looks pants-shittingly good.

Picked up Jamestown on PS4 yesterday - nice retro shump - reminds me of SNES/NEO·GEO shooters back in the 90's.

it balances out these days by giving increased unique drops in hardcore, but yeah there's always the risk of perma-death

With Kojima and Del Toro both working on it I'm hoping it's gonna be the best kind of nightmare-fuel...

Decided to do another Dark Souls run in hype for Bloodborne.

Finished it too. Although the last sequence was awesome, I really didn't understand the ending (even less than the first episode's conclusion...)

mother fucking blighttown...

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me. spent nearly 36 hrs w/rogue legacy so far. finally beat all remix bosses and got all trophies except for the last one which requires you to start a new game and beat it in 15 dies or less w/o using the architect ;O

will be my first platinum that's not a tekken game heh

wish it wasn't such an ugly game tho ;\

Just bought Transistor and found out it doesn't run well at all on this machine. Sigh.
