What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

Everybody's taking a dump on NMS five months before its scheduled release innit. Way to ruin the excitement guys. Sheeyit.

Really want to play The Witness.

 

Also excited for Street Fighter V next month!

Isn't The Witness out by now? How is it? I may pick it up over the weekend.

Came out yesterday, today in the UK. Getting pretty good reviews - I might have to bite and get it...

i foresee the cost of witness dropping pretty quickly and ending up on some ps+ sales or free game in the next year or so. can wait. haven't read too much about it for fear of spoiling da puzzles. might replay antichamber or something. although it's hard to recapture the first play through and those huge "aha!" moments

Still not cracked antichamber. This puzzle. This bloody puzzle has got me for on and off for ~6 months now:

 

 

I'm nearly there, can make most of the blocks but then the bits stick together and moving one moves another and .... aghhh !

hmm... i can't really remember just from a screenshot. i think i got held up for the longest time by not really figuring out how the fucking green gun works. i just blew by whatever hints the game was giving me somehow. i honestly only remember the blue gun and green gun. lol i'll probably have a hard time beating it again ;O

 

is this before or after the green gun? it could be involved in your problem

Think it's after - I believe it's the puzzle to gain access to the final gun. Going to have another go tonight ....

so like, then you understand how the green gun works fully? if that is your screen shot i have a thought but i could be totally off base. potential game mechanic/puzzle spoiled below so read at your own risk.

 

 

 

 

of course you might've already known that and i could be completely off base

 

good luck tonite!

Ah sorry, no it's someone elses (was the only shot online I could find of that puzzle). I'm able to ...

 

Spoilers for those that haven't played it:

 

 

hmm... no idea. i'd need to be back in it to get it i think. talking about it really makes me want to play it again though! i guess it's quite possible that i got past that lock by just frantically spraying shit until something stuck but most of the puzzles don't work that way so i like to think i figured it out myself.

 

i bought it as soon as it launched. played it for like 2-3 hrs and got hopelessly stuck. put it away for months. picked it back up one weekend and hammered through it (couple more 2-3 hr sessions). maybe your time away will give you some fresh perspective

the witness seems lush. seems like a big JUMBO sized puzzle book set in zen virtual reality post modern holiday island.

half wondering if im supposed to be keeping a log of the puzzles im doing to keep track of where im at and to better crack the later puzzles, as opposed to just wander around aimlessly and touch anything i can see that looks like it has an interaction (which is how ive been playing it on first playthrough). kind of overwhelming and intimidating that i can't press start and track my progress, for example.

Yes cracked it (and quite a few more puzzles). That feeling when you manage a puzzle without a hint (so far I've managed the whole game without even the slightest look at a guide) .... magic !

i know! i beat it w/o any guides. don't think i've gotten that eureka rush as heavily as in completing certain puzzles in that game. first portal was probably pretty close. 2nd one wasn't too hard since i was already "thinking with portals"

From the main map/hub it looks like I have just three (possibly!) rooms to go - Just have to find their entrances !

Enjoying Fallout 4 more when I stop caring about the bloody factions and just explore. There's a lot of neat little areas and "stories" you can find. Why didn't they flesh out this stuff more? As in, making side quests based around them instead of repetitive settlement rescue quests?

Totally agree. Exploration and crafting are the main things FO4 have going for it I think. Though I heard someone developed and released a mod recently that disables Preston Garvey's infinite assigning of settlement babysitting quests.

 

I'm back on Borderlands 2 myself, after having played the first game and the Pre-Sequel in story sequence. Still loads of fun.

A notebook is recommended as some puzzles teach you how to solve/interact with other puzzles elsewhere on the island.

i need to replay fract osc/finish too. you totally need a notebook in that to keep track of symbol orientations for some of the biggest puzzles. (something i didn't keep track of in my initial playthrough and ended up getting frustrated w/and putting away.

gave up on fallout 4 and started playing witcher 3 again. it's insane how much better it is in every way, as far as rpgs goes. goddamnit bethesda.

More vehicular fun:

 

 

buddy wants me to play D3 season 5 with him but the game is just so meh... so i bought him Grim Dawn instead

fract OSC was great, but i can't remember if i beat it lol. i got near the end then lost track of what i was doing. same damn thing i did in antichamber actually, took a break for a month or so and came back completely lost

Kinda bummed to find out Final Fantasy Explorers on 3DS doesn't run in 3D, hurr wha? Also, if you have the original 3DS, pretty much skip Hyrule Warriors, it's a joke on that system, and runs in 2D (barely)

 

Speaking of Hyrule Warriors, is the Wii U game worth 50€ ? My brother badly wants it, I'd like to try it but don't know if I should buy it now or wait a little bit

 

Also, I did not forget the WATMM Splatoon tournament (was away from the wii because of my exams but I'll be back this weekend!)

i tried playing splatoon and was immediately turned off by the shoehorned gyroscopic shit. seems kinda fun otherwise
