What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

So the new Destiny expansion may have turned me off the game for good even though it makes the game much better.

Oh, well. Off to Witcher 3. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks like Bloodborne is confirmed getting DLC

Hopefully it'll inject a bit of life into the end-game, I ended up finding the chalice dungeons, pvp and co-op pretty tedious, haven't really touched it at all since finishing it (Lack of build variety doesn't help either)

the music is already starting to annoy me.

 

There's this one track that keeps playing over and over and over. But I've just given the rest of the soundtrack a listen and it sounds like there are some pretty fucking tracks here and there. Looking forward to experiencing the rest of it.

Game & Watch Gallery 2 is some great retro memories for me, $2.99. I did an 8 hour stint on Parachute once on a train trip thru Europe. 80s gaming...

So Doc, if my Lego self fucks my Lego Mom, will she have inbred Lego babies?

I fiddled with optimizing the settings on Witcher 3 and got it working well. I played for around an hour with no hiccups. I googled the issue and found some helpful tips on preventing the game from crashing. I think it was a PC Gamer article that helped the most. The game seems to run great now. I'll be playing it some more tonight.

what is it with eastern european games and bugs?

operation flashpoint series

arma series

stalker series

metro series

witcher series

all of them have always been buggy as shit. also, weird jerky character controls / movements.

i'll give the game another go though for sure, but going from the perfect-in-every-way masterpiece that is PC GTA 5 to witcher 3 felt a bit underwhelming.

funded but not doing so great compared to the other recent "big indie" kickstarters. i tossed 20 punds in since they clearly have working prototypes and are making steady progress. has been greenlit and should have early access keys going out to pc backers in july i think. dove back in for a bit of wipeout hd last nite. only one gold left to get in the main campaign (the final tournament at phantom speed). still left a good bit to do in the fury campaign.

also got woxl and wip3out running perfectly on my rasp pi. god those games are good

It's as if the final adjustments and final touches simply aren't there. They have all the ingredients but the presentation is fucked.

That controls are total ass and the camera movement is janky as fuck.

installed the new witcher patch and suddenly everything works flawlessly. keyboard controls are still shit though, so might start using the 360 gamepad instead.

I have no idea why I'm suddenly so interested in Bloodborne, considering I hated Dark Souls with a passion. I'm at a point now where I know I'm getting it and I can already feel my blood pressure rising to a dangerous level. Tsk tsk...

Aaaaaand, giving Dark Souls yet another (last ever) try fixed this right away. Different strokes I guess, but at least I saved me some monies.

Ok, so one thing that has baffled me the two times I've launched the game is the beginning of the menu music...

What the fuck are those midi horns doing? Or are those bagpipes?

Anyway, no matter what, that part doesn't sound good.

did anyone get the Witcher PS4 bundle with the mini comic? Is it different from the graphic novels?

color me surprised. ultra street fighter 4 on ps4 will support ps3 sticks: http://kotaku.com/ultra-street-fighter-iv-will-support-playstation-3-figh-1706279392. seems likely that v will too

Probably due to the huge outcry of potentially needing to buy another peripheral that has an identical connector and buttons... (granted the PS3 sticks don't have "Share" and "Options" buttons, but I reckon those get/can be mapped to other buttons.

Working great for me too. I'm getting used to the keyboard controls now. They seem to get the job done.

Interesting article on the age group falling just between Gen X, and Millenials. Mostly focusing on technology and games.

They're very different in the style of combat required/possible. Obviously the controls and 'feel' of the games are VERY similar, and the slow methodical style of Dark Souls is definitely not for everyone. If you're enjoying Bloodborne, Demon's Souls might be more your speed, but it's still very close in fighting style to Dark Souls. Plus, you need to have a PS3.

I'm reinstalling World of Warcraft. Am I an idiot?

Dark Souls is one of the least enjoyable games I've ever played. I guess I can see why someone would enjoy it, but I still think it's absolutely terrible. Doesn't seem to respect the player's time at all, which all the reason I need to stop playing it. Being challenged by a game is not something I'm very interested in these days either, so that famous feeling of "accomplishment" one's supposed to get from beating a boss in these games is completely lost on me. So yeah, despite the sweet visuals I'm quite sure Bloodborne would be a total waste of money from me. Not a popular opinion, I know, but eh...

Appreciate the input though <3

beat shovel knight. it was great imo, i hope they make a sequel or whatever.
