What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

loving DA:I. I'm such a completist sucker, I'm gonna be binging on this for weeks. Also went back and started a new game of Rayman Legends, can't say enough good things about that one either. AAA games that actually deliver...

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.

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.

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

 

Oh, the way you said it I thought you were currently playing Bloodborne. Those types of games are definitely not for everyone, which is all well and good. :)

Just finished a nostalgia run through Castlevania: SOTN after seeing all the Iga videos. Still one of the best games ever.

Still rocking Borderlands 2 PC. 378 hours deep according to Steam.

Lv 72 OP 8 Siren

Lv 47 Commando

Lv 52 Mechromancer

Lv 15 Gunzerker

Haven't really gotten into Psycho & Assassin classes. I estimate if I get all 6 classes up to 72 OP 8 with optimal legendary gear builds I'll probably be looking at about 1500 hours (that's what some of the people I play with online have logged). Then I can finally move on to "The Pre-Sequel".

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

 

the magic has long since gone imo.

 

I dunno, I'm still having fun with it.

Reports:

I downloaded and activated my 10 free days.

I haven't played it since 2010, so many things have changed. The very first thing I noted was the difficulty. I felt it really, really easy. In my days it used to be quite frustrating (but fun) to level from 1 to 15. I'm now 14 in a very short time. Maybe it's cause I'm more intelligent than my 15 years old counterpart? Dunno, I think the game helped me a fucking lot.

But well I'll still play it to see more things :)

Currently playing Battleground Z on my 3DS from a gift card I received. Only Nintendo could come up with these crazy attacks: taking zombies to a disco and dancing them to death, forcing them to cram for a test and study to death, using an iPad as a melee weapon. Cute is an understatement.

Still lukewarm on The Witcher 3. Decided to play some Rayman Legends instead. Now there's a game!

And when I play Rayman I think to myself, "that's what I want the future of gaming to be like!" I want crisp animations, awesome art direction, great music, and great controls. I don't care about godrays, shaders, 5.1 Surround etc. If you can't make that sort of thing work then don't. Make something that works. Make it simple, make it good. I'm looking at you CD Projekt Red...

but that's just the same platformer, trial-and-error masturbatory thing from the 80's. just the card game from witcher 3 is deeper than that.

what percent and roughly how long did it take you? it's probably been a few years since i played it last.

Took about 6 hours. I don't bother uncovering as much of the map as possible (because I did that numerous times in my youth), this time I just wanted to experience the highlights again and grab all the best items which I suprisingly still have committed to memory. Basically as soon as I get to the inverted castle I run to the library and kill Schmoos until I get the crissaegrim, and then I can just plow through the whole inverted castle in under an hour and kill Dracula in 10 seconds. It's totally game-breaking and awesome.

Yeah, but I didn't necessarily mean platformers. It goes for all genres.

good to know!

Just finished second playthrough on Wolfenstein: The New Order. Sat thru the ending credits and lo and behold...Richard Devine pops up as one of the guys who worked on the original game soundtrack. Don't know why I didn't discover this the first time.

Welp, dunno what to play next, after six straight months of almost exclusively shooters (not sure if Skyrim counts). Might be time to focus on making music again. Feels like it's been a long time.

It sounds like Hyper Light Drifter may never be released, they still have Ouya as a platform? Apparently, the main developer has heart problems, and has delayed the game indefinitely.

care to shed any light on that rubin farr or where you're pulling that information from?

Play Dota 2 you cretin.

Leveling is much easier and faster, ya. But end game content, if you can get a good guild that raids, presents a decent challenge.

Bought Shadowrun : Dragonfall for £3, pretty fun.

anyone getting street fighter 4 on ps4? i haven't played since arcade edition was still pretty new. i'm sure my sakura/ibuki vortexes are obsolete at this point. might see what's up with poison.

I forgot to mention that you can now purchase game time for WoW with in-game gold. A 30-day period of game time costs about 20k gold. That's easy to make each month if you put a bit of extra time into the game to make gold. It's a nice alternative to paying ~$15/month.

if you were considering it? don't. worst version of the game out right now. tons of problems. i'm currently in a support chat trying to get a refund...

apparently it was covertly ported by some no name third party developer

is wii u smash brothers fun, single player? i'm trying to decide what game to get next

Yeah, it seems obvious: level as fast as you can to enjoy end game content. I have a 77 mage though, since so many changes, I decided to restart. Dungeons are so boring now and easy, also PvP, fucking twinks.

I've never been a hardcore player so raiding and stuff, is cool, but not something I would do so seriously. I'm more of a pvp man. But well 8 days left let's see if Blizzard convinces me :)

And yeah, quite cool uh? Though I don't have enough time to that now. I might buy Starcraft or play fucking Hearthstone tho I've read it's p2w.
