What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

my cd drive is done for some years and computer heat up too much if I turn on Team Fortress 2 just for a moment so I am living on Candy Crush style stuff plus other simple on-line games

Most I lost was 3 million souls in the first Dark Souls in Duke's Archive. It was almost entirely fight money from doing pvp duels, and I didn't really need it, but still stung, losing my humanity was the worst part.

 

Most I've lost in Bloodborne is 100k due to a stupid glitch (My bloodstain disappeared after I reloaded the game), followed by 70k because I was an impatient idiot who didn't check for the shortcut just round the corner, and decided to go for a tricky jump for an item instead.

Not a glitch, when you reload the game, your souls are on the first floor of the Lecture Building.

 

wat, why would they teleport there, and not tell me? that really does sound like a glitch

more soul loss from stupid falling :| this time 44k+ souls. I'm going to bed.

played about 2 hrs of wolfenstein. felt like a generic cover shooter and was completely uninteresting to me. am i missing something? not really interested in playing again

^ I thought that was the only fun moment in an otherwise really dull game. F.E.A.R. 1 was fresh, everything that came after it was bland. imo.

I like both the first and second game, but the DLCs of both are rather lackluster. I'll admit the second one feels easier though - probably because armor and supplies are more abundant or they reduced the damage you take from gunfire or something.

The 2009 one? That's the only one I've never played, but it didn't look that interesting anyway. TNO was legit tho.

TNO is awesome. Fast paced, really difficult if you keep the difficulty high (I always do in shooters). Good graphics, weird shit happening.

Great single player fps.

yeah the new order or whatever. the most recent one. i copped it for $15 since everyone was raving about it. i have some free time tomorrow maybe i'll give it another whirl. it's the first one i've played since cd\wolf3d and it doesn't have nearly enough blonde arryan's screaming.

I recommend turning the difficulty up if you didn't already. The challenge was part of what made it nice.

Wolfenstein the new order is pretty cool. The cutscenes are surprisingly good. Like REALLY good!

Gameplay-wise it is what it is but the violence and atmosphere keeps it interesting.

all it was missing was interesting guns. i have no idea why you would make a big budget, decent shooter with only like 4 standard guns, shotgun, machine gun, smg, pistol. perfect dark got that shit right.

^ agreed! That was the only part that let me down a bit. I did like the leveling up of the perks though, thought that was decent.

I dunno, the full auto shotty and the laser weapons were pretty dope.

Also, Jimi Hendrix homage in the game. And that chapter where you gotta liberate the prison camp in occupied Croatia...so cool.

Started metroid prime recently. Way cool. Took a while to get used to the motion controls but they don't feel too bad now.

Also brought call of duty advance warfare, haven't played one since black ops 1 and fancied something to throw on and have a few rounds online when I don't want to invest in a long game/deep story because I don't have much time to play video games any more. I've always enjoyed the games dispite the stigma so its nice to go back to it.

haven't played ftl for a while so i gave it a spin, it turned out to be a 5 hour nightly violent screamfest where i almost destroyed my pc and myself both physically and emotionally.

total games played: 100

total victories: 4

I feel your pain

But I tend to redo the first zone a lot tho, and I also dont know how to spend my scrap very well.

Playing Glorkian Warrior, containing spiffy art by James Kochalka, elf king of comics. Basically Space Invaders but with Kochalka quality over it. Fun! The voice of the main character is funny too.

I disconnected my computer, boxed it up and stuck it in a cupboard.

Dark Souls was eating my life up. from the moment I installed it a week ago, I've played for at least 8 hours every day, which, working a 9-5 job and getting 3 hours of sleep a night, was just insupportable.

more broadly, I've spent way too much time on video games/internets/computar for like the last 10 years of my life. for someone with aspirations/goals that they can't seem to get started on, I need a change, and I'm just not able to manage my time well enough to live with the temptation of losing myself in a gameworld most of my free time.

edit: when Bloodborne gets ported or HL3 actually comes out, I'll probably come back.

I'm giving System Shock 2 a try and I'm a little overwhelmed, lol. All that arms/tech/psy stuff, can't decide what to go for...

Any tips, anyone?

So that's never then.

About to do the Shadow of Yharnam boss in bloodborne. (6th)

Ah hahaha, good luck! You will be cursing those fuckers

Took me 4 tries tilll I learned everything they did and how best to go about it.

After that I did darkbeast in one try and rom took like 10 tries.

Now about to do Logarius.

don't bother with the psy approach for your first playthrough. tech is pretty useful. but if you're confused, nothing's more straightforward than shootin' shit, so go for pewpew skillz.

Yeah, on SShock 2 I would focus on spending your cyber modules on the Tech discipline more than any other, because there are a lot of secure doors and storage crates you're gonna wanna hack into. As for weapons, I'd only bother leveling up Standard guns, cos the Assault Rifle is king - everything else beyond that except for the Grenade Launcher and Crystal Shard are pretty much crap.

This has been my exact plight for some time now. It's probably been the very reason I haven't devoted more time to making tunes, working out, socializing, finding a better job, etc.

sounds like it's time to box up your computer.

I might have to...

It's a good laptop too, I'm sure any avid gamer would buy it in a heartbeat.

Joe Rogan used to be an avid Quake player, but he gave up video games, because they are too much of a time sink. It's true. Even Sumail who is a dota professional at 15 years old says that dota is a waste of time if you aren't going to go pro.

In reality I think that if you want to enjoy games you should just schedule time for yourself to play games, and not overindulge.

So Kojima wasn't fired by Konami? They've backtracked and re-added his name to company credits. Wtf is going on in Japan
