What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

What is the most popular online PS4 game on watmm right now? I never see anyone here on Dying Light or Garden Warfare 1. Battlefield, or COD, and which one? I'm not spending my money on Battlefront as that was a huge letdown to me.

The real question is, should we play games because they're popular, or because we genuinely find them appealing? More of a rhetorical question tho.

The real question is .. why would someone with a PS4 not just be playing Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne, followed by Dark Souls 2 ng+ and Bloodborne ng+, etc. back and forth. in anticipation for Dark Souls 3, followed maybe by a playthrough of Dark Souls ng+ (provided you have a ps3/pc and have already played Dark Souls), followed by maybe Bloodborne again because a solid playthrough at this point shouldn't take too long. Maybe some Dark Souls 3 ng+ ?

 

ugh. i'm obsessed.

Played BB through 3 or 4 times (over 200 hours already...may do another run soon...). Just bought DS2 digital on my PS4 and am playing it through. Waiting on them to announce the rumored Season Pass/DLC Packages for DS3 so I can throw as much money as possible at From Software. It's not just you, they're pretty much the best games out there right now (for a portion of gamers, obv).

yeah. its lame with DLC. i mean, From do DLC pretty well. but it's still annoying buying DS3 for example knowing in a few months time a flashier all in one package is going to come out.

 

i'm always skeptical of digital only content. what if an apocalypse occurs and Sony's networks are all wiped out and i want to play Bloodborne on my solar powered ps4+tv set but i can't access the DLC content because i was an IDIOT and purchased the game when it came out and NOT the physical GOTY edition that came out 8 months later. ugh.

Finally beat XCOM 2!!! Just barely. Took down the last enemy Avatar with my own Commander's Avatar, but by a missed shot with my psionic repeater resulting in the enemy Avatar catching fire. It was already being whittled down with Acid damage from an Andromedon I MC'd earlier, all while my own Avatar and soldiers were getting overwhelmed by aliens surrounding them. Hell of a finish.

I know this will get drowned out by WATMM's ever-pervasive DS and BB hype. But I know at least two other members mentioned XCOM 2 nearly a month ago. And just when I was on the verge of quitting, I decided to give it one more go. Guess I never truly gave up, and it paid off.

No, congrats, finishing XCOM is kind of a big deal tbh

I got Demon's Souls and it's pretty annoying and dull, what am I missing?

EVERYTHING

boletaria palace is one of the coolest levels in any video game ever.

Played (and beat) Axiom Verge (PS4) - nice game, great music, but wears its love for Metroid a bit too much on its sleeve... not that it is a bad thing; I just think the game early on is a bit too close of a direct ripoff. Surprised Nintendo didn't have anything to say...

Absolutely loved Axiom Verge because it's so much like Metroid. The glitch gun is such fun. By far my favorite game from last year. I'm in the middle of replaying on hard.

Yeah it was tougher than any mission I played prior to it, appropriately enough. Didn't have any Psi-Ops soldiers on this playthrough, but I plan to on the next one. Same with robot hackers.

That one I was kind of curious about too. Looks like a Metroid game with Half-Life elements, which is right up my alley.

Ouye!

 

 

What an annoying person.

It was a great game and had me addicted from start to finish - Think I beat it in a couple of weeks which for me is super quick (Fallout 3 took me like 5+ years!).

Is it that long to finish ? I was afraid it might be too short, because of the "Metroidvania" genre itself (only played Metroid Fusion, one of my favorite games but kind of quick to beat !)

Me too. I beat it in about a week. Playing it is all I did after work.

 

I just finished Skyrim's main quest a few weeks ago after 5+ years as well!

Yeah, I had to stop after 2 minutes.

Think my total Steam play time was something like 15-20 hours - I've not 100%'d it though, still some hidden bits to find. Think my second play through would be considerably quicker though, just never followed a guide so hit a few dead ends and retreaded a lot of steps !

I'm close to the end and savoring it... trying to knock out another advent facility before i launch into the endgame. Definitely play it again for the psionics, i've been stalling basically just for the sake of training new psionic abilities and they're so much fun to use.

 

Have you installed any mods? I've been using the "stop wasting my time" mod, which cuts out some of the pauses after shots and such, it works great. I forget that I'm even using it since it just makes things flow a little more smoothly.

I haven't used any mods yet for XCOM 2...didn't know there were any out yet. I'ma take a break from it for a while, as intense as the ending was.

Yeah I'll definitely be training up some Psi-Ops units next playthrough. Already had a Psi-Lab being built but got impatient and launched the final assault before it could get finished because I didn't want the Avatar Project progressing any further. I managed to bring it down to like one or two squares after taking a more aggressive approach.

I'd also like to have my Specialists hack and take control of enemy robots next time as well, especially MECs and Sectopods. I hear the final mission is pretty much a cake walk if you master your hacking and psionic MC skills. Gonna make sure every non-psionic soldier has a Mind Shield equipped next time as well so the Avatars (and Sectoids) have no chance of controlling your squad members at the very end.

Sorry if I spoiled it.

Does anyone know an easy way to change back from being a vampire in Skyrim? I wouldn't mind if you could kill every single NPC as I'd just go on a rampage and wipe out the entire map but you can't, they just get winded for a bit then chase after you again, it's bullshit.

Yep -
