What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

I seem to remember people saying that's the first thing they switch off as it practically destroys the ability to control the game.

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

I was ultra sceptical about that but it works perfectly and is really intuitive. You can turn it off if you want, but stick with it. When I tried to turn it off I realised how much better it was to play with the gyro controls on and promptly stuck it back on.

you can turn it off!? i assumed that big n made it mandatory to try and justify the big dumbass controller

If anyone with a PS4 wants to try the Street Fighter V beta, here's a free code!

nooope, there's an option to turn it off and use normal shooter controls.

been playing a good bit. (not on your beta code btw). still trying to make mika work because of the silly model design and she has a giant swing. she's really not very fun though. her buttons are mostly ass. the most satisfaction i get is waiting until i have a big life lead the opponent is turtling on their last leg. back up full screen and wait for them to do something stupid and hit them with her vshit (projectile tag partner out of nowhere) for the surprise ko.

 

they never see it coming

 

might try chun. miss sakura =\

Enter the Gungeon looks cool

 

it might be just me but sometimes i feel that hammer brothers have the best A.I. of any game.

 

New sales figures from EA may indicate PS4 has sold twice as many consoles as Xbox One, oof.

The Witness is SO.FUCKING.GOOD.

 

Seriously, GOTY contender already - the puzzles make you THINK, and the whole environment is so weird and surreal that the immersion is quite noticeable, jumping from the puzzle view to the first-person view.

 

THIS is a game that would be brilliant on PlayStation VR/Oculus Rift.

 

Also, bonus points for awakening childhood memories of watching David Burke (you'll see)!

 

Be warned though - some of the puzzles are REALLY hard, and this game is a total time-suck - started playing around 6 on Saturday and suddenly realized it was midnight! Fun to play with others, working to solve the really hard puzzles.

 

The game is just so well thought out and planned... highly recommended. Well worth the 40USD.

I bought it a couple of days ago after *finally* (~3 years on and off) beating Antichamber. Knew I'd get totally confused as to how I was progressing in each game if I played them at the same time so am looking forward to get properly stuck in to it. So far I've avoided any spoilers but as so many people have talked about it online it's been a bit of a mindfield !

Aye, hard to avoid mentions of it (Tettix (Judson Cowan) had a thing on Twitter about "wiggly tetris blocks" which I haven't encountered yet - just now getting to understand the rules behind the other tetris blocks that appear in some puzzles).

Oh good, a colleague mentioned it (The WItness) the other day - so I'll take the chance and pick it up. :)

RE4 hits the Wii U eShop this week, but I can't find any info if it finally supports true anamorphic widescreen:

Well worth it - the mystery of the game is intriguing; I hope the payoff is worth it.

Well...just reached a milestone with BL2

Easily the boss that requires the most patience. You'll likely only ever get one or two hits in at a time. Just roll like a madman during his melee attack chains or lightning shit. I seem to recall the best time to get a hit in is after he does a diving attack, but it's been a while. His recovery from animations is very quick so you'll be chasing after a hit for a long time. Don't even bother going for cutting off the tail without 1/2 other people to help. Oh and after you beat him, do visit the arena later on in the game!

The Witness is Windows only

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

 

 

I just received mine and it's pretty sweet!

After finally getting it to work (instructions are vague) you can use it as a normal controller or as a keyboard, so I can play with my Scrap Mechanic vehicles with a controller now.

Looking forward to playing about with it more, especially with some other keyboard only games like Project Zomboid.

Been playing through DOOM for the first time since age 10 or something. How did this game age so well? The satisfaction of that shotgun ripping through imps is just perfect. Forgot how good the soundtrack was too.

The great part about DOOM is its modding community is still active today, even more than 22 years after its original release. Also worth mentioning, John Romero released a DOOM map just last month for e1m8. Thousands of shooters out there today and it's still among the top ten.

unappealingly violent. really wish they'd just make a proper sequel to q3a for consoles with split screen =\

If I was still 15 I'd be so hyped. Fortunately I'm 16 now.

Is it just me or does it look worse (graphic-wise) than it did last year? And I was kinda hoping it would be more extreme and have more enemies on screen at a time
