What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

I love the design, but it doesn't look very ergonomic at all.

Found a pretty cool NES-inspired bluetooth controller for your retro gaming needs - works on iOS/Android, PC and Mac:

The BoingBoing Store (where I got wind of it) has it cheaper right now as well:

God damn it Joyrex stop making me spend money

 

gotta get those click throughs somehow. anyways you actually laid hands on this thing yet? i'm always pretty skeptical of these noname brand neo retro controllers

 

No - I literally found it today, but most of the Amazon reviews seem positive. Bit pricy for a BT controller, and I think you can use a PS3/4 controller with a Raspberry Pi and certainly with any Mac/PC emulator, so this is really a novelty item.

Yeah never really understood CE tat. They just seem to take up space on people's shelves and are quickly forgotten. The closest I have gotten recently to buying a CE was Fallout 4 for the pip-boy - until I found out it was pretty much just a holder for your phone. I'm enough of a dork to want to have a functioning pip boy with built-in screen, but not enough to splash out the cash for half of one.

The biggest problem for me is I'm a bit over buying physical - the Wii U is the only console I still buy physical for, since 32GB isn't enough space and I don't want to fuss with an external HDD.

 

The one big benefit of physical, is unlike digital that rarely goes on sale, if you wait a few months, most physical games can be bought for 40.00 USD or less.

 

But Dark Souls 3 is a day-one physical must-buy.

Plants vs Zombies 2: Modern Day update is out

Kinda hooked on Splatoon atm, did not expect to like the game that much. Made my way to rank B-, it's getting more and more tense

Splatoon is one of the best games I've played in a long time. Would love to get back into it, its been a while. There are so many new levels and updates since I last played, I recon it must be like a while new game.

LOL

Wasn't interested in Twilight Princess HD at all because I played it for the first time just a few years ago. However, given the fact that I'm more and more wanting to buy amiibos and that there's a new dungeon, I might spend some money on it...

After leaving it alone for a long time and coming back, it really does feel like a new game - the sheer amount of new weapons is staggering.

I've decided to play the whole Borderlands "trilogy" sequentially, so I've picked the Pre-Sequel back up a couple of days ago after beating the first game. Seems like I'm enjoying more now than I did when it first came out, for some reason.

Wish I could get the Call of Chernobyl mod to install for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat tho. I keep getting some stupid message that says "insert correct disk or choose different folder", and it seems every folder I tried I get the same damn thing. [octothorpe]pcgamingfwp

had this sitting on the shelf unopened for a couple of months. pretty sad to learn it has no offline multiplayer. i'm the only person i know with a wiiu

 

guess i could've read up on it a bit more first...

it does have offline multiplayer I believe but I've never played it. it isn't the same type of gameplay as the online. I mostly played against randoms and always had a blast.

Playing Life is Strange and and I feel like teenager

online mp works really well - fast matchmaking, no lag, etc.

sure. it's just that i have a get together with my vidja boys once every week or so and thought it might be a good split screen multiplayer game for us to play. one of them got me a working dreamcast for christmas so i think i'll be breaking out quake 3 next time

It's only 1v1 multiplayer, where one person uses the gamepad and another uses the TV. It's different too, as you are popping balloons instead of a turf war.

We were kind of disappointed with my brother as well when we learned about Splatoon offline multiplayer (and we don't have the "pro" controller or whatever is needed to play it anyway). But the online multiplayer is so fun and quick to play that you easily throw a Splatoon party with friends without getting annoyed (regular matchs last for 3mn and are definitely not boring to watch, you just hand them the gamepad when it's their turn to play).

 

You can even do what I'm doing right now - browsing WATMM when it's not your turn to play :)

shit games are that short? might try it out next week

Looks cool
